dc2a660bd9 Improve meson's detection of perl build flags
The current method of detecting perl build flags breaks if the path to
perl contains a space. This change makes two improvements. First,
instead of getting a list of ldflags and ccdlflags and then trying to
filter those out of the reported ldopts, we tell perl to suppress
reporting those in the first instance. Second, it tells perl to parse
those and output them, one per line. Thus any space on the option in a
file name, for example, is preserved.

648397b1d4 Only define NO_THREAD_SAFE_LOCALE for MSVC plperl when required
Latest versions of Strawberry Perl define USE_THREAD_SAFE_LOCALE, and we
therefore get a handshake error when building against such instances.
The solution is to perform a test to see if USE_THREAD_SAFE_LOCALE is
defined and only define NO_THREAD_SAFE_LOCALE if it isn't.

Backpatch the meson.build fix back to release 16 and apply the same
logic to Mkvcbuild.pm in releases 12 through 16.

418c6a2c72 Allow _h_indexbuild() to be interrupted.
When we are building a hash index that is large enough to need
pre-sorting (larger than either maintenance_work_mem or NBuffers),
the initial sorting phase is interruptible, but the insertion
phase wasn't.  Add the missing CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS().

9b3c3c0fc2 Fix contrib/pageinspect's test for sequences.
I managed to break this test in two different ways in commit
05036a3155.

First, the output of the new call to tuple_data_split() on the test
sequence is dependent on endianness.  This is fixed by setting a
special start value for the test sequence that produces the same
output regardless of the endianness of the machine.

Second, on versions older than v15, the new test case fails under
"force_parallel_mode = regress" with the following error:

	ERROR:  cannot access temporary tables during a parallel operation

This is because pageinspect's disk-accessing functions are
incorrectly marked PARALLEL SAFE on versions older than v15 (see
commit aeaaf520f4 for details).  This one is fixed by changing the
test sequence to be permanent.  The only reason it was previously
marked temporary was to avoid needing a DROP SEQUENCE command at
the end of the test.  Unlike some other tests in this file, the use
of a permanent sequence here shouldn't result in any test
instability like what was fixed by commit e2933a6e11.

6ea7f04b73 Reintroduce support for sequences in pgstattuple and pageinspect.
Commit 4b82664156 restricted a number of functions provided by
contrib modules to only relations that use the "heap" table access
method.  Sequences always use this table access method, but they do
not advertise as such in the pg_class system catalog, so the
aforementioned commit also (presumably unintentionally) removed
support for sequences from some of these functions.  This commit
reintroduces said support for sequences to these functions and adds
a couple of relevant tests.

cc4fdfa411 Make jsonpath .string() be immutable for datetimes.
Discussion of commit ed055d249 revealed that we don't actually
want jsonpath's .string() method to depend on DateStyle, nor
TimeZone either, because the non-"_tz" jsonpath functions are
supposed to be immutable.  Potentially we could allow a TimeZone
dependency in the "_tz" variants, but it seems better to just
uniformly define this method as returning the same string that
jsonb text output would do.  That's easier to implement too,
saving a couple dozen lines.

Patch by me, per complaint from Peter Eisentraut.  Back-patch

7f88e50b45 Remove incorrect Assert.
check_agglevels_and_constraints() asserted that if we find an
aggregate function in an EXPR_KIND_FROM_SUBSELECT expression, the
expression must be in a LATERAL subquery.  Alexander Lakhin found a
case where that's not so: because of the odd scoping rules for NEW/OLD
within a rule, a reference to NEW/OLD could cause an aggregate to be
considered top-level even though it's in an unmarked sub-select.
The error message that would be thrown seems sufficiently on-point,
so just remove the Assert.  (Hence, this is not a bug for production
builds.)

This Assert was added by me in commit eaccfded9 (9.3 era).  It looks
like I put it in to cross-check that the new logic for detecting
misplaced aggregates (using agglevelsup) caught the same cases that a
previous check on p_lateral_active did.  So there might have been some
related misbehavior before eaccfded9 ... but that's very ancient
history by now, so I didn't dig any deeper.

Per bug #18608 from Alexander Lakhin.  Back-patch to all supported
branches.

78bc5f7118 Fix unique key checks in JSON object constructors
When building a JSON object, the code builds a hash table of keys, to
allow checking if the keys are unique. The uniqueness check and adding
the new key happens in json_unique_check_key(), but this assumes the
pointer to the key remains valid.

Unfortunately, two places passed pointers to keys in a buffer, while
also appending more data (additional key/value pairs) to the buffer.
With enough data the buffer is resized by enlargeStringInfo(), which
calls repalloc(), invalidating the earlier key pointers.

Due to this the uniqueness check may fail with both false negatives and
false positives, producing JSON objects with duplicate keys or failing
to produce a perfectly valid JSON object.

This affects multiple functions that enforce uniqueness of keys, all
introduced in PG16 with the new SQL/JSON:

- json_object_agg_unique / jsonb_object_agg_unique
- json_object / jsonb_objectagg

Existing regression tests did not detect the issue, simply because the
initial buffer size is 1024 and the objects were small enough not to
require the repalloc.

With a sufficiently large object, AddressSanitizer reported the access
to invalid memory immediately. So would valgrind, of course.

Fixed by copying the key into the hash table memory context, and adding
regression tests with enough data to repalloc the buffer. Backpatch to
16, where the functions were introduced.

Reported by Alexander Lakhin. Investigation and initial fix by Junwang
Zhao, with various improvements and tests by me.

946f150aa1 Fix some whitespace issues in XMLSERIALIZE(... INDENT).
We must drop whitespace while parsing the input, else libxml2
will include "blank" nodes that interfere with the desired
indentation behavior.  The end result is that we didn't indent
nodes separated by whitespace.

Also, it seems that libxml2 may add a trailing newline when working
in DOCUMENT mode.  This is semantically insignificant, so strip it.

This is in the gray area between being a bug fix and a definition
change.  However, the INDENT option is still pretty new (since v16),
so I think we can get away with changing this in stable branches.
Hence, back-patch to v16.

77aebe9a8d SQL/JSON: Avoid initializing unnecessary ON ERROR / ON EMPTY steps
When the ON ERROR / ON EMPTY behavior is to return NULL, returning
NULL directly from ExecEvalJsonExprPath() suffices. Therefore, there's
no need to create separate steps to check the error/empty flag or
those to evaluate the the constant NULL expression.  This speeds up
common cases because the default ON ERROR / ON EMPTY behavior for
JSON_QUERY() and JSON_VALUE() is to return NULL.  However, these steps
are necessary if the RETURNING type is a domain, as constraints on the
domain may need to be checked.

cd6b2ae3e7 Fix waits of REINDEX CONCURRENTLY for indexes with predicates or expressions
As introduced by f9900df5f94, a REINDEX CONCURRENTLY job done for an
index with predicates or expressions would set PROC_IN_SAFE_IC in its
MyProc->statusFlags, causing it to be ignored by other concurrent
operations.

Such concurrent index rebuilds should never be ignored, as a predicate
or an expression could call a user-defined function that accesses a
different table than the table where the index is rebuilt.

A test that uses injection points is added, backpatched down to 17.
Michail has proposed a different test, but I have added something
simpler with more coverage.

pg_stat_get_io() applied TimestampTzGetDatum twice to the

TimestampTzGetDatum is a no-op, but on 32-bit builds it results in

7dcbf0afa2 Prevent mis-encoding of "trailing junk after numeric literal" errors.
Since commit 2549f0661, we reject an identifier immediately following
a numeric literal (without separating whitespace), because that risks
ambiguity with hex/octal/binary integers.  However, that patch used
token patterns like "{integer}{ident_start}", which is problematic
because {ident_start} matches only a single byte.  If the first
character after the integer is a multibyte character, this ends up
with flex reporting an error message that includes a partial multibyte
character.  That can cause assorted bad-encoding problems downstream,
both in the report to the client and in the postmaster log file.

To fix, use {identifier} not {ident_start} in the "junk" token
patterns, so that they will match complete multibyte characters.
This seems generally better user experience quite aside from the
encoding problem: for "123abc" the error message will now say that
the error appeared at or near "123abc" instead of "123a".

While at it, add some commentary about why these patterns exist
and how they work.

3ed3683618 Fix unfairness in all-cached parallel seq scan.
Commit b5a9b18c introduced block streaming infrastructure with a special
fast path for all-cached scans, and commit b7b0f3f2 connected the
infrastructure up to sequential scans.  One of the fast path
micro-optimizations had an unintended consequence: it interfered with
parallel sequential scan's block range allocator (from commit 56788d21),
which has its own ramp-up and ramp-down algorithm when handing out
groups of pages to workers.  A scan of an all-cached table could give
extra blocks to one worker, when others had finished.  In some plans
(probably already very bad plans, such as the one reported by
Alexander), the unfairness could be magnified.

An internal buffer of 16 block numbers is removed, keeping just a single
block buffer for technical reasons.

OS and usernames.  Switch to a new WAL file before the first test, as a
simple way to put every computer into the same state.

Back-patch to all supported releases.

8749d850f9 Make postgres_fdw's query_cancel test less flaky.
This test occasionally shows

+WARNING:  could not get result of cancel request due to timeout

which appears to be because the cancel request is sometimes unluckily
sent to the remote session between queries, and then it's ignored.

This patch tries to make that less probable in three ways:

1. Use a test query that does not involve remote estimates, so that
no EXPLAINs are sent.
2. Make sure that the remote session is ready-to-go (transaction
started, SET commands sent) before we start the timer.
3. Increase the statement_timeout to 100ms, to give the local
session enough time to plan and issue the query.

We might have to go higher than 100ms to make this adequately
stable in the buildfarm, but let's see how it goes.

Back-patch to v17 where this test was introduced.

b43110869f Avoid inserting PlaceHolderVars in cases where pre-v16 PG did not.
Commit 2489d76c4 removed some logic from pullup_replace_vars()
that avoided wrapping a PlaceHolderVar around a pulled-up
subquery output expression if the expression could be proven
to go to NULL anyway (because it contained Vars or PHVs of the
pulled-up relation and did not contain non-strict constructs).
But removing that logic turns out to cause performance regressions
in some cases, because the extra PHV blocks subexpression folding,
and will do so even if outer-join reduction later turns it into a
no-op with no phnullingrels bits.  This can for example prevent
an expression from being matched to an index.

The reason for always adding a PHV was to ensure we had someplace
to put the varnullingrels marker bits of the Var being replaced.
However, it turns out we can optimize in exactly the same cases that
the previous code did, because we can instead attach the needed
varnullingrels bits to the contained Var(s)/PHV(s).

This is not a complete solution --- it would be even better if we
could remove PHVs after reducing them to no-ops.  It doesn't look
practical to back-patch such an improvement, but this change seems
safe and at least gets rid of the performance-regression cases.

Per complaint from Nikhil Raj.  Back-patch to v16 where the
problem appeared.

a7eb633563 Fix mis-deparsing of ORDER BY lists when there is a name conflict.
If an ORDER BY item in SELECT is a bare identifier, the parser
first seeks it as an output column name of the SELECT (for SQL92
compatibility).  However, ruleutils.c is expecting the SQL99
interpretation where such a name is an input column name.  So it's
possible to produce an incorrect display of a view in the (admittedly
pretty ill-advised) case where some other column is renamed in the
SELECT output list to match an ORDER BY column.

This can be fixed by table-qualifying such names in the dumped
view text.  To avoid cluttering less-ill-advised queries, we'd
like to do so only when there's an actual name conflict.
That requires passing the current get_query_def call's resultDesc
parameter down to get_variable, so that it can determine what
the output column names are.  In hopes of reducing rather than
increasing notational clutter in ruleutils.c, I moved that value
into the deparse_context struct and removed it from the parameter
lists of get_query_def's other subroutines.

I made a few other cosmetic changes while at it:
* Likewise move the colNamesVisible parameter into deparse_context.
* Rename deparse_context's windowTList field to targetList,
since it's no longer used only in connection with WINDOW clauses.
* Replace the special_exprkind field with a bool inGroupBy,
since that was all it was being used for, and the apparent
flexibility of storing a ParseExprKind proved to be illusory.
(We need a separate varInOrderBy field to make this patch work.)
* Remove useless save/restore logic in get_select_query_def.

In principle, this bug is quite old.  However, it seems unreachable
before 1b4d280ea, because before that the presence of "new" and "old"
entries in a view's rangetable caused us to always table-qualify every
Var reference in dumped views.  Hence, back-patch to v16 where that
came in.

Per bug #18589 from Quynh Tran.

fdbf7e46a4 Disallow USING clause when altering type of generated column
This does not make sense.  It would write the output of the USING
clause into the converted column, which would violate the generation
expression.  This adds a check to error out if this is specified.

There was a test for this, but that test errored out for a different
reason, so it was not effective.
