Commit bb3ec16e14 moved partition pruning metadata into PlannedStmt.
At executor startup this metadata is used to initialize the EState
fields es_part_prune_infos, es_part_prune_states, and
es_part_prune_results. EvalPlanQualStart() failed to copy those
fields into the child EState, causing NULL dereference when Append
ran partition pruning during a recheck. This can occur with DELETE
or UPDATE on partitioned tables that use runtime pruning, e.g. with
generic plans.
Fix by copying all partition pruning state into the EPQ estate.
Add an isolation test that reproduces the crash with concurrent
UPDATE and DELETE on a partitioned table, where the DELETE session
hits the crash during its EPQ recheck after the UPDATE commits.

This reverts commit 98fc31d6499163a0a781aa6f13582a07f09cd7c6.
That change allowed DROP OWNED BY to drop grants of the target
role to other roles, arguing that nobody would need those
privileges anymore. But that's not so: if you're not superuser,
you still need admin privilege on the target role so you can
drop it.
It's not clear whether or how the dependency-based approach
to solving the original problem can be adapted to keep these
grants. Since v18 release is fast approaching, the sanest
thing to do seems to be to revert this patch for now. The

JsonConstructorExpr can produce non-NULL output with a NULL input, so
it should be treated as a non-strict construct. Failing to do so can
lead to incorrect query behavior.
For example, in the reported case, when pulling up a subquery that is
under an outer join, if the subquery's target list contains a
JsonConstructorExpr that uses subquery variables and it is mistakenly
treated as strict, it will be pulled up without being wrapped in a
PlaceHolderVar. As a result, the expression will be evaluated at the
wrong place and will not be forced to null when the outer join should
do so.

Fix for commit 3c86223c998. That commit moved the typedef of pg_int64
from postgres_ext.h to libpq-fe.h, because the only remaining place
where it might be used is libpq users, and since the type is obsolete,
the intent was to limit its scope.
The problem is that if someone builds an extension against an
older (pre-PG18) server version and a new (PG18) libpq, they might get
two typedefs, depending on include file order. This is not allowed
under C99, so they might get warnings or errors, depending on the
compiler and options. The underlying types might also be
different (e.g., long int vs. long long int), which would also lead to
errors. This scenario is plausible when using the standard Debian
packaging, which provides only the newest libpq but per-major-version
server packages.
The fix is to undo that part of commit 3c86223c998. That way, the
typedef is in the same header file across versions. At least, this is
the safest fix doable before PostgreSQL 18 releases.

Previously, pg_dump incorrectly queried pg_seclabel to retrieve security labels
for subscriptions, which are stored in pg_shseclabel as they are global objects.
This could result in security labels for subscriptions not being dumped.
This commit fixes the issue by updating pg_dump to query the pg_seclabels view,
which aggregates entries from both pg_seclabel and pg_shseclabel.
While querying pg_shseclabel directly for subscriptions was an alternative,
using pg_seclabels is simpler and sufficient.
In addition, pg_dump is updated to dump security labels on event triggers,

The TimescaleDB extension expects to be able to change an nbtree scan's
keys across rescans. The issue arises in the extension's implementation
of loose index scan. This is arguably a misuse of the index AM API,
though apparently it worked until recently. It stopped working when the
skipScan flag was added to BTScanOpaqueData by commit 8a510275, though.
The flag wouldn't reliably track whether the scan (actually, the current
rescan) has any skip arrays, leading to confusion in _bt_set_startikey.
nbtree preprocessing will now defensively initialize the scan's skipScan
flag in all cases, including the case where _bt_preprocess_array_keys
returns early due to the (re)scan not using arrays. While nbtree isn't
obligated to support this use case (at least not according to my reading
of the index AM API), it still seems like a good idea to be consistent
here, on general robustness grounds.

Commit e3ffc3e91 fixed the translation of character classes in
SIMILAR TO regular expressions. Unfortunately the fix broke a corner
case: if there is an escape character right after the opening bracket
(for example in "[\q]"), a closing bracket right after the escape
sequence would not be seen as closing the character class.
There were two more oversights: a backslash or a nested opening bracket
right at the beginning of a character class should remove the special
meaning from any following caret or closing bracket.
This bug suggests that this code needs to be more readable, so also
rename the variables "charclass_depth" and "charclass_start" to
something more meaningful, rewrite an "if" cascade to be more
consistent, and improve the commentary.

A recently added nbtree preprocessing step failed to account for the
fact that DESC columns already had their B-Tree strategy number commuted
at this point in preprocessing. As a result, preprocessing could output
a set of scan keys where one or more keys had the correct strategy
number, but used the wrong comparison routine.
To fix, make the faulty code path that looks up a more restrictive
replacement operator/comparison routine commute its requested inequality
strategy (while outputting the transformed strategy number as before).
This makes the final transformed scan key comport with the approach
preprocessing has always used to deal with DESC columns (which is
described by comments above _bt_fix_scankey_strategy).

perform transformations on skip array inequalities that can reduce the

If the hash functions used for hashing tuples leaked any memory,
we failed to clean that up, resulting in query-lifespan memory
leakage in queries using hashed subplans. One way that could
happen is if the values being hashed require de-toasting, since
most of our hash functions don't trouble to clean up de-toasted
inputs.
Prior to commit bf6c614a2, this leakage was largely masked
because TupleHashTableMatch would reset hashtable->tempcxt
(via execTuplesMatch). But it doesn't do that anymore, and
that's not really the right place for this anyway: doing it
there could reset the tempcxt many times per hash lookup,
or not at all. Instead put reset calls into ExecHashSubPlan
and buildSubPlanHash. Along the way to that, rearrange
ExecHashSubPlan so that there's just one place to call
MemoryContextReset instead of several.
This amounts to accepting the de-facto API spec that the caller
of the TupleHashTable routines is responsible for resetting the
tempcxt adequately often. Although the other callers seem to
get this right, it was not documented anywhere, so add a comment
about it.

out-of-memory failure, an ERROR is generated, leaving in the pgstats
shared hashtable an inconsistent entry due to the first step, as the
entry has already been inserted in the hashtable. These broken entries
can then be found by other backends, crashing them.
There are only two callers of pgstat_init_entry(), when loading the
pgstats file at startup and when creating a new pgstats entry. This
commit changes pgstat_init_entry() so as we use dsa_allocate_extended()
with DSA_ALLOC_NO_OOM, making it return NULL on allocation failure
instead of failing. This way, a backend failing an entry creation can
take appropriate cleanup actions in the shared hashtable before throwing
an error. Currently, this means removing the entry from the shared
hashtable before throwing the error for the allocation failure.
Out-of-memory errors unlikely happen in the wild, and we do not bother
with back-patches when these are fixed, usually. However, the problem
dealt with here is a degree worse as it breaks the shared memory state
of pgstats, impacting other processes that may look at an inconsistent
entry that a different process has failed to create.

When executing a MERGE UPDATE action, if there is more than one
concurrent update of the target row, the lock-and-retry code would
sometimes incorrectly identify the latest version of the target tuple,
leading to incorrect results.
This was caused by using the ctid field from the TM_FailureData
returned by table_tuple_lock() in a case where the result was TM_Ok,
which is unsafe because the TM_FailureData struct is not guaranteed to
be fully populated in that case. Instead, it should use the tupleid
passed to (and updated by) table_tuple_lock().
To reduce the chances of similar errors in the future, improve the
commentary for table_tuple_lock() and TM_FailureData to make it
clearer that table_tuple_lock() updates the tid passed to it, and most
fields of TM_FailureData should not be relied on in non-failure cases.
An exception to this is the "traversed" field, which is set in both
success and failure cases.

SubPlan nodes are typically built very early, before any RelOptInfos
have been constructed for the parent query level. As a result, the
simple_rel_array in the parent root has not yet been initialized.
Currently, during cost estimation of a SubPlan's testexpr, we may call
examine_variable() to look up statistical data about the expressions.
This can lead to "no relation entry for relid" errors.
To fix, pass root as NULL to cost_qual_eval() in cost_subplan(), since
the root does not yet contain enough information to safely consult
statistics.
One exception is SubPlan nodes built for the initplans of MIN/MAX
aggregates from indexes. In this case, having a NULL root is safe
because testexpr will be NULL. Additionally, an initplan will by
definition not consult anything from the parent plan.
Backpatch to all supported branches. Although the reported call path
that triggers this error is not reachable prior to v17, there's no
guarantee that other code paths -- especially in extensions -- could
not encounter the same issue when cost_qual_eval() is called with a
root that lacks a valid simple_rel_array. The test case is not
included in pre-v17 branches though.

Compression in pg_dump is abstracted using an API with multiple
implementations which can be selected at runtime by the user.
The API and its implementations have evolved over time, notable
commits include bf9aa490db, e9960732a9, 84adc8e20, and 0da243fed.
The errorhandling defined by the API was however problematic and
the implementations had a few bugs and/or were not following the
API specification. This commit modifies the API to ensure that
callers can perform errorhandling efficiently and fixes all the
implementations such that they all implement the API in the same
way. A full list of the changes can be seen below.
* write_func:
- Make write_func throw an error on all error conditions. All
callers of write_func were already checking for success and
calling pg_fatal on all errors, so we might as well make the
API support that case directly with simpler errorhandling as
a result.
* open_func:
- zstd: move stream initialization from the open function to
the read and write functions as they can have fatal errors.
Also ensure to dup the file descriptor like none and gzip.
- lz4: Ensure to dup the file descriptor like none and gzip.
* close_func:
- zstd: Ensure to close the file descriptor even if closing
down the compressor fails, and clean up state allocation on
fclose failures. Make sure to capture errors set by fclose.
- lz4: Ensure to close the file descriptor even if closing
down the compressor fails, and instead of calling pg_fatal
log the failures using pg_log_error. Make sure to capture
errors set by fclose.
- none: Make sure to catch errors set by fclose.
* read_func / gets_func:
- Make read_func unconditionally return the number of read
bytes instead of making it optional per implementation.
- lz4: Make sure to call throw an error and not return -1
- gzip: gzread returning zero cannot be assumed to indicate
EOF as it is documented to return zero for some types of
errors.
- lz4, zstd: Convert the _read_internal helper functions to
not call pg_fatal on errors to be able to handle gets_func
returning NULL on error.
* getc_func:
- zstd: Use an unsigned char rather than an int to read char
into.
* LZ4Stream_init:
- Make sure to not switch to inited state until we know that
initialization succeeded and reset errno just in case.
On top of these changes there are minor comment cleanups and
improvements as well as an attempt to consistently reset errno
in codepaths where it is inspected.
This work was initiated by a report of API misuse, which turned
into a larger body of work. As this is an internal API these
changes can be backpatched into all affected branches.

It's possible that if the only live partition is concurrently dropped
and try_table_open() fails, that the bms_del_member() will pfree the

the result back to the live_parts local variable, the while loop could

For a child relation, we should not assume that its parent's
unique-ified relation (or unique-ified path in v18) always exists. In
cases where all RHS columns that need to be unique-ified are equated
to constants, the unique-ified relation/path for the parent table is
not built, as there are no columns left to unique-ify. Failing to
account for this can result in a SIGSEGV crash during planning.
This patch checks whether the parent's unique-ified relation or path
exists and skips unique-ification of the child relation if it does
not.

One mechanism we have for implementing semi-joins is to de-duplicate
the output of the RHS and then treat the join as a plain inner join.
Initial construction of the join's SpecialJoinInfo identifies the
RHS columns that need to be de-duplicated, but later we may find that
some of those don't need to be handled explicitly, either because
they're known to be constant or because they are redundant with some
previous column.
Up to now, while sort-based de-duplication handled such cases well,
hash-based de-duplication didn't: we'd still hash on all of the
originally-identified columns. This is probably not a very big
deal performance-wise, but in the wake of commit a3179ab69 it can
cause planner errors. That happens when join elimination causes
recalculation of variables' attr_needed bitmapsets, and we decide
that a variable mentioned in a semijoin clause doesn't need to be
propagated up to the join level anymore.
There are a number of ways we could slice the blame for this, but the
only fix that doesn't result in pessimizing plans for loosely-related
cases is to be more careful about not hashing columns we don't
actually need to de-duplicate. We can install that consideration
into create_unique_paths in master, or the predecessor code in
create_unique_path in v18, without much refactoring.
(As follow-up work, it might be a good idea to look at more-invasive
refactoring, in hopes of preventing other bugs in this area. But
with v18 release so close, there's not time for that now, nor would
we be likely to want to put such refactoring into v18 anyway.)

During an investigation into rather odd aio related errors on macos, observed
by Alexander and Konstantin, we started to wonder if bitfield access is
related to the error. At the moment it looks like it is related, we cannot
reproduce the failures when replacing the bitfields. In addition, the problem
can only be reproduced with some compiler [versions] and not everyone has been
able to reproduce the issue.
The observed problem is that, very rarely, PgAioHandle->{state,target} are in
an inconsistent state, after having been checked to be in a valid state not
long before, triggering an assertion failure. Unfortunately, this could be
caused by wrong compiler code generation or somehow of missing memory barriers
- we don't really know. In theory there should not be any concurrent write
access to the handle in the state the bug is triggered, as the handle was idle
and is just being initialized.
Separately from the bug, we observed that at least gcc and clang generate
rather terrible code for the bitfield access. Even if it's not clear if the
observed assertion failure is actually caused by the bitfield somehow, the bad
code generation alone is sufficient reason to stop using bitfields.
Therefore, replace the enum bitfields with uint8s and instead cast in each
switch statement.

This patch fixes a bug in how 'load_external_function' handles
'$libdir/ prefixes in module paths.
Previously, 'load_external_function' would unconditionally strip
'$libdir/' from the beginning of the 'filename' string. This caused
an issue when the path was nested, such as "$libdir/nested/my_lib".
Stripping the prefix resulted in a path of "nested/my_lib", which
would fail to be found by the expand_dynamic_library_name function
because the original '$libdir' macro was removed.
To fix this, the code now checks for the presence of an additional
directory separator ('/' or '\') after the '$libdir/' prefix. The
prefix is only stripped if the remaining string does not contain a
separator. This ensures that simple filenames like '"$libdir/my_lib"'
are correctly handled, while nested paths are left intact for
'expand_dynamic_library_name' to process correctly.

When vacuumdb's --missing-stats-only option is used, the catalog
query for retrieving the list of relations to process must read
pg_statistic and pg_statistic_ext_data. However, those catalogs
can only be read by superusers by default, so --missing-stats-only
is effectively superuser-only. This is unfortunate, but since the
option is primarily intended for use by administrators after
running pg_upgrade, let's just live with it for v18. This commit
adds a note about the aforementioned privilege requirements to the
documentation for --missing-stats-only.
We first tried to improve matters by modifying the query to read
the pg_stats and pg_stats_ext system views instead. While that is
indeed more lenient from a privilege standpoint, it is also
borderline incomprehensible. pg_stats shows rows for which the
user has the SELECT privilege on the corresponding column, and
pg_stats_ext shows rows for tables the user owns. Meanwhile,
ANALYZE requires either MAINTAIN on the table or, for non-shared
relations, ownership of the database. But even if the privilege
discrepancies were tolerable, the performance impact was not.
Ultimately, the modified query was substantially more expensive, so
we abandoned the idea.
For v19, perhaps we could introduce a simple, inexpensive way to
discover which relations are missing statistics, such as a system
function or view with similar privilege requirements to ANALYZE.
Unfortunately, it is far too late for anything like that in v18.

Commit 4b754d6c1 introduced the concept of an excludeOnly scan key,
which cannot select matching index entries but can reject
non-matching tuples, for example a tsquery such as '!term'. There are
poorly-documented assumptions that such scan keys do not appear as the
first scan key. ginNewScanKey did nothing to ensure that, however,
with the result that certain GIN index searches could go into an
infinite loop while apparently-equivalent queries with the clauses in
a different order were fine.
Fix by teaching ginNewScanKey to place all excludeOnly scan keys
after all not-excludeOnly ones. So far as we know at present,
it might be sufficient to avoid the case where the very first
scan key is excludeOnly; but I'm not very convinced that there
aren't other dependencies on the ordering.

The protocol documentation states that the maximum length of a cancel
key is 256 bytes. This starts checking for that limit in libpq.
Otherwise third party backend implementations will probably start
using more bytes anyway. We also start requiring that a protocol 3.0
connection does not send a longer cancel key, to make sure that
servers don't start breaking old 3.0-only clients by accident. Finally
this also restricts the minimum key length to 4 bytes (both in the
protocol spec and in the libpq implementation).

In most cases, if an out-of-memory situation happens, we attach the
error message to the connection and report it at the next
PQgetResult() call. However, there are a few cases, while processing
messages that are not associated with any particular query, where we
handled failed allocations differently and not very nicely:
- If we ran out of memory while processing an async notification,
getNotify() either returned EOF, which stopped processing any
further data until more data was received from the server, or
silently dropped the notification. Returning EOF is problematic
because if more data never arrives, e.g. because the connection was
used just to wait for the notification, or because the next
ReadyForQuery was already received and buffered, it would get stuck
forever. Silently dropping a notification is not nice either.
- (New in v18) If we ran out of memory while receiving BackendKeyData
message, getBackendKeyData() returned EOF, which has the same issues
as in getNotify().
- If we ran out of memory while saving a received a ParameterStatus
message, we just skipped it. A later call to PQparameterStatus()
would return NULL, even though the server did send the status.
Change all those cases to terminate the connnection instead. Our
options for reporting those errors are limited, but it seems better to
terminate than try to soldier on. Applications should handle
connection loss gracefully, whereas silently missing a notification,
parameter status, or cancellation key could cause much weirder
problems.
This also changes the error message on OOM while expanding the input
buffer. It used to report "cannot allocate memory for input buffer",
followed by "lost synchronization with server: got message type ...".
The "lost synchronization" message seems unnecessary, so remove that
and report only "cannot allocate memory for input buffer". (The
comment speculated that the out of memory could indeed be caused by
loss of sync, but that seems highly unlikely.)
This evolved from a more narrow patch by Jelte Fennema-Nio, which was
reviewed by Jacob Champion.
Somewhat arbitrarily, backpatch to v18 but no further. These are
long-standing issues, but we haven't received any complaints from the
field. We can backpatch more later, if needed.

Commit 1585ff7387 changed GetTransactionSnapshot() to throw an error
if it's called during logical decoding, instead of returning the
historic snapshot. I made that change for extra protection, because a
historic snapshot can only be used to access catalog tables while
GetTransactionSnapshot() is usually called when you're executing
arbitrary queries. You might get very subtle visibility problems if
you tried to use the historic snapshot for arbitrary queries.
There's no built-in code in PostgreSQL that calls
GetTransactionSnapshot() during logical decoding, but it turns out
that the pglogical extension does just that, to evaluate row filter
expressions. You would get weird results if the row filter runs
arbitrary queries, but it is sane as long as you don't access any
non-catalog tables. Even though there are no checks to enforce that in
pglogical, a typical row filter expression does not access any tables
and works fine. Accessing tables marked with the user_catalog_table =
true option is also OK.
To fix pglogical with row filters, and any other extensions that might
do similar things, revert GetTransactionSnapshot() to return a
historic snapshot during logical decoding.
To try to still catch the unsafe usage of historic snapshots, add
checks in heap_beginscan() and index_beginscan() to complain if you
try to use a historic snapshot to scan a non-catalog table. We're very
close to the version 18 release however, so add those new checks only
in master.

Temporary relations may share the same RelFileNumber with a permanent
relation, or other temporary relations associated with other sessions.
Being able to uniquely identify a temporary relation would require
RelidByRelfilenumber() to know about the proc number of the temporary
relation it wants to identify, something it is not designed for since
its introduction in f01d1ae3a104.
There are currently three callers of RelidByRelfilenumber():
- autoprewarm.
- Logical decoding, reorder buffer.
- pg_filenode_relation(), that attempts to find a relation OID based on
a tablespace OID and a RelFileNumber.
This makes the situation problematic particularly for the first two
cases, leading to the possibility of random ERRORs due to
inconsistencies that temporary relations can create in the cache
maintained by RelidByRelfilenumber(). The third case should be less of
an issue, as I suspect that there are few direct callers of
pg_filenode_relation().
The window where the ERRORs are happen is very narrow, requiring an OID
wraparound to create a lookup conflict in RelidByRelfilenumber() with a
temporary table reusing the same OID as another relation already cached.
The problem is easier to reach in workloads with a high OID consumption
rate, especially with a higher number of temporary relations created.
We could get pg_filenode_relation() and RelidByRelfilenumber() to work
with temporary relations if provided the means to identify them with an
optional proc number given in input, but the years have also shown that
we do not have a use case for it, yet. Note that this could not be
backpatched if pg_filenode_relation() needs changes. It is simpler to
ignore temporary relations.

If we error out during execution of a SQL-language function, we will
often leave behind non-null pointers in its SQLFunctionCache's cplan
and eslist fields. This is problematic if the SQLFunctionCache is
re-used, because those pointers will point at resources that were
released during error cleanup. This problem escaped detection so far
because ordinarily we won't re-use an FmgrInfo+SQLFunctionCache struct
after a query error. However, in the rather improbable case that
someone implements an opclass support function in SQL language, there
will be long-lived FmgrInfos for it in the relcache, and then the
problem is reachable after the function throws an error.
To fix, add a flag to SQLFunctionCache that tracks whether execution
escapes out of fmgr_sql, and clear out the relevant fields during
init_sql_fcache if so. (This is going to need more thought if we ever
try to share FMgrInfos across threads; but it's very far from being
the only problem such a project will encounter, since many functions
regard fn_extra as being query-local state.)
This broke at commit 0313c5dc6; before that we did not try to re-use
SQLFunctionCache state across calls. Hence, back-patch to v18.

Some replication slot manipulations (logical decoding via SQL,
advancing) were failing an assertion when releasing a slot in
single-user mode, because active_pid was not set in a ReplicationSlot

ReplicationSlotAcquire() has some logic to be able to work with the
single-user mode. This commit sets ReplicationSlot->active_pid to
MyProcPid, to let the slot-related logic fall-through, considering the
single process as the one holding the slot.
Some TAP tests are added for various replication slot functions with the

and logical decoding with multiple slot types (temporary, physical vs
logical). These tests are skipped on Windows, as direct calls of
postgres --single would fail on permission failures. There is no

restriction should be fine. The CI is OK with that, now let's see what

The DROP SUBSCRIPTION command performs several operations: it stops the
subscription workers, removes subscription-related entries from system
catalogs, and deletes the replication slot on the publisher server.
Previously, this command acquired an AccessExclusiveLock on
pg_subscription before initiating these steps.
However, while holding this lock, the command attempts to connect to the
publisher to remove the replication slot. In cases where the connection is
made to a newly created database on the same server as subscriber, the
cache-building process during connection tries to acquire an
AccessShareLock on pg_subscription, resulting in a self-deadlock.
To resolve this issue, we reduce the lock level on pg_subscription during
DROP SUBSCRIPTION from AccessExclusiveLock to RowExclusiveLock. Earlier,
the higher lock level was used to prevent the launcher from starting a new
worker during the drop operation, as a restarted worker could become
orphaned.
Now, instead of relying on a strict lock, we acquire an AccessShareLock on
the specific subscription being dropped and re-validate its existence
after acquiring the lock. If the subscription is no longer valid, the
worker exits gracefully. This approach avoids the deadlock while still
ensuring that orphan workers are not created.

for the static and shared libraries. That has been the case for a long time,
but recently started failing, after an image update started using a newer

as the newer version optimizes the build order and builds the shared libpq
earlier than the static library. Previously both static and shared libraries
were built at the same time, which prevented msvc from detecting the issue.
When using /DEBUG:FASTLINK pdb files cannot be updated, triggering the error.
We were using /DEBUG:FASTLINK due to running out of memory in the past, but
that was when using container based CI images, rather than full VMs.

It turns out that on some platforms (at least current macOS, NetBSD,
OpenBSD) semget(2) will return EINVAL if there is a pre-existing
semaphore set with the same key and too few semaphores. Our code
expects EEXIST in that case and treats EINVAL as a hard failure,
resulting in failure during initdb or postmaster start.
POSIX does document EINVAL for too-few-semaphores-in-set, and is
silent on its priority relative to EEXIST, so this behavior arguably
conforms to spec. Nonetheless it's quite problematic because EINVAL
is also documented to mean that nsems is greater than the system's
limit on the number of semaphores per set (SEMMSL). If that is
where the problem lies, retrying would just become an infinite loop.
To resolve this contradiction, retry after EINVAL, but also install a
loop limit that will make us give up regardless of the specific errno
after trying 1000 different keys. (1000 is a pretty arbitrary number,
but it seems like it should be sufficient.) I like this better than
the previous infinite-looping behavior, since it will also keep us out
of trouble if (say) we get EACCES due to a system-level permissions
problem rather than anything to do with a specific semaphore set.
This problem has only been observed in the field in PG 17, which uses
a higher nsems value than other branches (cf. 38da05346, 810a8b1c8).
That makes it possible to get the failure if a new v17 postmaster
has a key collision with an existing postmaster of another branch.
In principle though, we might see such a collision against a semaphore
set created by some other application, in which case all branches are
vulnerable on these platforms. Hence, backpatch.

Commit e2d4ef8de86 (the fix for CVE-2017-7484) added security checks
to the selectivity estimation functions to prevent them from running
user-supplied operators on data obtained from pg_statistic if the user
lacks privileges to select from the underlying table. In cases
involving inheritance/partitioning, those checks were originally
performed against the child RTE (which for plain inheritance might
actually refer to the parent table). Commit 553d2ec2710 then extended
that to also check the parent RTE, allowing access if the user had
permissions on either the parent or the child. It turns out, however,
that doing any checks using the child RTE is incorrect, since
securityQuals is set to NULL when creating an RTE for an inheritance
child (whether it refers to the parent table or the child table), and
therefore such checks do not correctly account for any RLS policies or
security barrier views. Therefore, do the security checks using only
the parent RTE. This is consistent with how RLS policies are applied,
and the executor's ACL checks, both of which use only the parent
table's permissions/policies. Similar checks are performed in the
extended stats code, so update that in the same way, centralizing all
the checks in a new function.
In addition, note that these checks by themselves are insufficient to
ensure that the user has access to the table's data because, in a
query that goes via a view, they only check that the view owner has
permissions on the underlying table, not that the current user has
permissions on the view itself. In the selectivity estimation
functions, there is no easy way to navigate from underlying tables to
views, so add permissions checks for all views mentioned in the query
to the planner startup code. If the user lacks permissions on a view,
a permissions error will now be reported at planner-startup, and the
selectivity estimation functions will not be run.
Checking view permissions at planner-startup in this way is a little
ugly, since the same checks will be repeated at executor-startup.
Longer-term, it might be better to move all the permissions checks
from the executor to the planner so that permissions errors can be
reported sooner, instead of creating a plan that won't ever be run.
However, such a change seems too far-reaching to be back-patched.
Back-patch to all supported versions. In v13, there is the added
complication that UPDATEs and DELETEs on inherited target tables are
planned using inheritance_planner(), which plans each inheritance
child table separately, so that the selectivity estimation functions
do not know that they are dealing with a child table accessed via its
parent. Handle that by checking access permissions on the top parent
table at planner-startup, in the same way as we do for views. Any
securityQuals on the top parent table are moved down to the child
tables by inheritance_planner(), so they continue to be checked by the
selectivity estimation functions.

Tracking down the bugs that led to the addition of comb_multiplexer()
and drain_timer_events() was difficult, because an inefficient flow is
not visibly different from one that is working properly. To help
maintainers notice when something has gone wrong, track the number of
calls into the flow as part of debug mode, and print the total when the
flow finishes.
A new test makes sure the total count is less than 100. (We expect
something on the order of 10.) This isn't foolproof, but it is able to
catch several regressions in the logic of the prior two commits, and
future work to add TLS support to the oauth_validator test server should
strengthen it as well.

In a case similar to the previous commit, an expired timer can remain
permanently readable if Curl does not remove the timeout itself. Since
that removal isn't guaranteed to happen in real-world situations,
implement drain_timer_events() to reset the timer before calling into
drive_request().
Moving to drain_timer_events() happens to fix a logic bug in the
previous caller of timer_expired(), which treated an error condition as
if the timer were expired instead of bailing out.
The previous implementation of timer_expired() gave differing results
for epoll and kqueue if the timer was reset. (For epoll, a reset timer
was considered to be expired, and for kqueue it was not.) This didn't
previously cause problems, since timer_expired() was only called while
the timer was known to be set, but both implementations now use the
kqueue logic.

If Curl needs to switch the direction of a socket's registration (e.g.
from CURL_POLL_IN to CURL_POLL_OUT), it expects the old registration to
be discarded. For epoll, this happened via EPOLL_CTL_MOD, but for
kqueue, the old registration would remain if it was not explicitly
removed by Curl.
Explicitly remove the opposite-direction event during registrations. (If
that event doesn't exist, we'll just get an ENOENT, which will be
ignored by the same code that handles CURL_POLL_REMOVE.) A few
assertions are also added to strengthen the relationship between the
number of events added, the number of events pulled off the queue, and
the lengths of the kevent arrays.

If a socket is added to the kqueue, becomes readable/writable, and
subsequently becomes non-readable/writable again, the kqueue itself will
remain readable until either the socket registration is removed, or the
stale event is cleared via a call to kevent().
In many simple cases, Curl itself will remove the socket registration
quickly, but in real-world usage, this is not guaranteed to happen. The
kqueue can then remain stuck in a permanently readable state until the
request ends, which results in pointless wakeups for the client and
wasted CPU time.
Implement comb_multiplexer() to call kevent() and unstick any stale
events that would cause unnecessary callbacks. This is called right
after drive_request(), before we return control to the client to wait.

The code used
return (Selectivity) 0.0;
where
PG_RETURN_FLOAT8(0.0);
would be correct.
On 64-bit systems, these are pretty much equivalent, but on 32-bit
systems, PG_RETURN_FLOAT8() correctly produces a pointer, but the old
wrong code would return a null pointer, possibly leading to a crash
elsewhere.
We think this code is actually not reachable because bqarr_in won't

Previously, pg_dump --filter could misinterpret invalid object types
in the filter file as valid ones. For example, the invalid object type
"table-data" (likely a typo for the valid "table_data") could be
mistakenly recognized as "table", causing pg_dump to succeed
when it should have failed.
This happened because pg_dump identified keywords as sequences of
ASCII alphabetic characters, treating non-alphabetic characters
(like hyphens) as keyword boundaries. As a result, "table-data" was
parsed as "table".
To fix this, pg_dump --filter now treats keywords as strings of
non-whitespace characters, ensuring invalid types like "table-data"
are correctly rejected.

Commit 9e6104c66 disallowed transition tables on foreign tables, but
failed to account for cases where a foreign table is a child table of a
partitioned/inherited table on which transition tables exist, leading to
incorrect transition tuples collected from such foreign tables for
queries on the parent table triggering transition capture. This
occurred not only for inherited UPDATE/DELETE but for partitioned INSERT
later supported by commit 3d956d956, which should have handled it at
least for the INSERT case, but didn't.
To fix, modify ExecAR*Triggers to throw an error if the given relation
is a foreign table requesting transition capture. Also, this commit
fixes make_modifytable so that in case of an inherited UPDATE/DELETE
triggering transition capture, FDWs choose normal operations to modify
child foreign tables, not DirectModify; which is needed because they
would otherwise skip the calls to ExecAR*Triggers at execution, causing
unexpected behavior.

TimestampTz and not a Datum.
On 64-bit systems, there is no effect since this just ends up casting
64-bit integers back and forth. On 32-bit systems, timestamptz is
pass-by-reference. PG_RETURN_TIMESTAMPTZ() allocates new memory and
returns the address, meaning that the caller could interpret this as a

The effect is using "date_trunc(..., 'infinity'::timestamptz) will
return random values (instead of the correct return value 'infinity').

The result of "DirectFunctionCall1(numeric_float8, d)" is already in
Datum form, but the code was incorrectly applying PG_RETURN_FLOAT8()
to it. On machines where float8 is pass-by-reference, this would
result in complete garbage, since an unpredictable pointer value
would be treated as an integer and then converted to float. It's not
entirely clear how much of a problem would ensue on 64-bit hardware,
but certainly interpreting a float8 bitpattern as uint64 and then
converting that to float isn't the intended behavior.
As luck would have it, even the complete-garbage case doesn't break
BRIN indexes, since the results are only used to make choices about
how to merge values into ranges: at worst, we'd make poor choices
resulting in an inefficient index. Doubtless that explains the lack
of field complaints. However, users with BRIN indexes that use the
numeric_minmax_multi_ops opclass may wish to reindex in hopes of
making their indexes more efficient.

In ReorderBufferProcessTXN(), used to send the data of a transaction to
an output plugin, INSERT ON CONFLICT changes (INTERNAL_SPEC_INSERT) are
delayed until a confirmation record arrives (INTERNAL_SPEC_CONFIRM),
updating the change being processed.
8c58624df462 has added an extra step after processing a change to update
the progress of the transaction, by calling the callback
update_progress_txn() based on the LSN stored in a change after a
threshold of CHANGES_THRESHOLD (100) is reached. This logic has missed
the fact that for an INSERT ON CONFLICT change the data is freed once
processed, hence update_progress_txn() could be called pointing to a LSN
value that's already been freed. This could result in random crashes,
depending on the workload.
Per discussion, this issue is fixed by reusing in update_progress_txn()
the LSN from the change processed found at the beginning of the loop,
meaning that for a INTERNAL_SPEC_CONFIRM change the progress is updated
using the LSN of the INTERNAL_SPEC_CONFIRM change, and not the LSN from
its INTERNAL_SPEC_INSERT change. This is actually more correct, as we
want to update the progress to point to the INTERNAL_SPEC_CONFIRM
change.
Masahiko Sawada has found a nice trick to reproduce the issue: hardcode
CHANGES_THRESHOLD at 1 and run test_decoding (test "ddl" being enough)
on an instance running valgrind. The bug has been analyzed by Ethan
Mertz, who also originally suggested the solution used in this patch.

PostgreSQL always sends the BackendKeyData message at connection
startup, but there are some third party backend implementations out
there that don't support cancellation, and don't send the message
[1]. While the protocol docs left it up for interpretation if that is
valid behavior, libpq in PostgreSQL 17 and below accepted it. It does
not seem like the libpq behavior was intentional though, since it did
so by sending CancelRequest messages with all zeros to such servers
(instead of returning an error or making the cancel a no-op).
In version 18 the behavior was changed to return an error when trying
to create the cancel object with PGgetCancel() or PGcancelCreate().
This was done without any discussion, as part of supporting different
lengths of cancel packets for the new 3.2 version of the protocol.
This commit changes the behavior of PGgetCancel() / PGcancel() once
more to only return an error when the cancel object is actually used
to send a cancellation, instead of when merely creating the object.
The reason to do so is that some clients [2] create a cancel object as
part of their connection creation logic (thus having the cancel object
ready for later when they need it), so if creating the cancel object
returns an error, the whole connection attempt fails. By delaying the
error, such clients will still be able to connect to the third party
backend implementations in question, but when actually trying to
cancel a query, the user will be notified that that is not possible
for the server that they are connected to.
This commit only changes the behavior of the older PGgetCancel() /
PQcancel() functions, not the more modern PQcancelCreate() family of
functions. I.e. PQcancelCreate() returns a failed connection object
(CONNECTION_BAD) if the server didn't send a cancellation key. Unlike
the old PQgetCancel() function, we're not aware of any clients in the
field that use PQcancelCreate() during connection startup in a way
that would prevent connecting to such servers.

another.

Commit c407d5426b87 added tab completion for ALTER ROLE|USER ... RESET,
with the intent to offer only the variables actually set on the role.
But as soon as the user started typing something, it would start to
offer all possible matching variables.
Fix this the same way ALTER DATABASE ... RESET does it, i.e. by
properly considering the prefix.
A second issue causing similar symptoms (offering variables that are not
actually set for a role) was caused by a match to another pattern. The
ALTER DATABASE ... RESET was already excluded, so do the same thing for
ROLE/USER.

pg_dump sorts objects by their logical names, e.g. (nspname, relname,
tgname), before dependency-driven reordering. That removes one source
of logically-identical databases differing in their schema-only dumps.
In other words, it helps with schema diffing. The logical name sort
ignored essential sort keys for constraints, operators, PUBLICATION
... FOR TABLE, PUBLICATION ... FOR TABLES IN SCHEMA, operator classes,
and operator families. pg_dump's sort then depended on object OID,
yielding spurious schema diffs. After this change, OIDs affect dump
order only in the event of catalog corruption. While pg_dump also
wrongly ignored pg_collation.collencoding, CREATE COLLATION restrictions
have been keeping that imperceptible in practical use.
Use techniques like we use for object types already having full sort key
coverage. Where the pertinent queries weren't fetching the ignored sort
keys, this adds columns to those queries and stores those keys in memory
for the long term.
The ignorance of sort keys became more problematic when commit
172259afb563d35001410dc6daad78b250924038 added a schema diff test
sensitive to it. Buildfarm member hippopotamus witnessed that.
However, dump order stability isn't a new goal, and this might avoid
other dump comparison failures. Hence, back-patch to v13 (all supported
versions).

The configure checks used two incorrect functions when checking the
presence of some routines in an environment:
- __get_cpuidex() for the check of __cpuidex().
- __get_cpuid() for the check of __cpuid().
This means that Postgres has never been able to detect the presence of
these functions, impacting environments where these exist, like Windows.
Simply fixing the function name does not work. For example, using
configure with MinGW on Windows causes the checks to detect all four of
__get_cpuid(), __get_cpuid_count(), __cpuidex() and __cpuid() to be
available, causing a compilation failure as this messes up with the
MinGW headers as we would include both <intrin.h> and <cpuid.h>.
The Postgres code expects only one in { __get_cpuid() , __cpuid() } and
one in { __get_cpuid_count() , __cpuidex() } to exist. This commit
reshapes the configure checks to do exactly what meson is doing, which
has been working well for us: check one, then the other, but never allow
both to be detected in a given build.
The logic is wrong since 3dc2d62d0486 and 792752af4eb5 where these
checks have been introduced (the second case is most likely a copy-pasto
coming from the first case), with meson documenting that the configure
checks were broken. As far as I can see, they are not once applied
consistently with what the code expects, but let's see if the buildfarm
has different something to say. The comment in meson.build is adjusted
as well, to reflect the new reality.

If the client sent a query cancel request with backend PID 0, it
tripped an assertion. With assertions disabled, you got this in the
log instead:
LOG: invalid cancel request with PID 0
LOG: wrong key in cancel request for process 0
Query cancellations don't even require authentication, so we better
tolerate bogus requests. Fix by turning the assertion into a regular
runtime check.

For many optional libraries, we extract the -L and -l switches needed
to link the library from a helper program such as llvm-config. In
some cases we put the resulting -L switches into LDFLAGS ahead of
-L switches specified via --with-libraries. That risks breaking
the user's intention for --with-libraries.
It's not such a problem if the library's -L switch points to a
directory containing only that library, but on some platforms a
library helper may "helpfully" offer a switch such as -L/usr/lib
that points to a directory holding all standard libraries. If the
user specified --with-libraries in hopes of overriding the standard
build of some library, the -L/usr/lib switch prevents that from
happening since it will come before the user-specified directory.
To fix, avoid inserting these switches directly into LDFLAGS during
configure, instead adding them to LIBDIRS or SHLIB_LINK. They will
still eventually get added to LDFLAGS, but only after the switches
coming from --with-libraries.
The same problem exists for -I switches: those coming from
--with-includes should appear before any coming from helper programs
such as llvm-config. We have not heard field complaints about this
case, but it seems certain that a user attempting to override a
standard library could have issues.
The changes for this go well beyond configure itself, however,
because many Makefiles have occasion to manipulate CPPFLAGS to
insert locally-desirable -I switches, and some of them got it wrong.
The correct ordering is any -I switches pointing at within-the-
source-tree-or-build-tree directories, then those from the tree-wide
CPPFLAGS, then those from helper programs. There were several places
that risked pulling in a system-supplied copy of libpq headers, for
example, instead of the in-tree files. (Commit cb36f8ec2 fixed one
instance of that a few months ago, but this exercise found more.)
The Meson build scripts may or may not have any comparable problems,
but I'll leave it to someone else to investigate that.

When I prepared 71c0921b6 et al yesterday, I was thinking that the
logic involving explicitly freeing the node_list output was still
needed to dodge leakage bugs in libxml2. But I was misremembering:
we introduced that only because with early 2.13.x releases we could
not trust xmlParseBalancedChunkMemory's result code, so we had to
look to see if a node list was returned or not. There's no reason
to believe that xmlParseBalancedChunkMemory will fail to clean up
the node list when required, so simplify. (This essentially
completes reverting all the non-cosmetic changes in 6082b3d5d.)

This mostly reverts commit 6082b3d5d, "Use xmlParseInNodeContext
not xmlParseBalancedChunkMemory". It turns out that
xmlParseInNodeContext will reject text chunks exceeding 10MB, while
(in most libxml2 versions) xmlParseBalancedChunkMemory will not.
The bleeding-edge libxml2 bug that we needed to work around a year
ago is presumably no longer a factor, and the argument that
xmlParseBalancedChunkMemory is semi-deprecated is not enough to
justify a functionality regression. Hence, go back to doing it
the old way.

The callback added in fc415edf8ca8 used to check if there is any pending
data to flush for fixed-numbered statistics, done by looping across all
the builtin and custom stats kinds with a call to have_fixed_pending_cb,
is proving to able to show in workloads that do not report any stats
(read-only, no function calls, no WAL, no IO, etc). The code used in
v17 was cheaper than that what HEAD has introduced, relying on three
boolean checks for WAL, SLRU and IO stats.
This commit switches the code to use a more efficient approach than
fc415edf8ca8, with a single boolean flag that can be switched to "true"
by any fixed-numbered stats kinds to force pgstat_report_stat() to go
through one round of reports. The flag is reset by pgstat_report_stat()
once a full round of reports is done. The flag being false means that
fixed-numbered stats kinds saw no activity, and that there is no pending
data to flush.
ac000fca743e took one step in improving the performance by reducing the
number of stats kinds that the backend can hold. This commit takes a
more drastic step by bringing back the code efficiency to what it was
before v18 with a cheap check at the beginning of pgstat_report_stat()
for its fast-exit path.
The callback have_static_pending_cb is removed as an effect of all that.

This commit changes stats kinds to have the following bounds, making
their handling in core cheaper by default:
- PGSTAT_KIND_CUSTOM_MIN 128 -> 24
- PGSTAT_KIND_MAX 256 -> 32
The original numbers were rather high, and showed an impact on
performance in pgstat_report_stat() for the case of simple queries with
its early-exit path if there are no pending statistics to flush. This
logic will be improved more in a follow-up commit to bring the
performance of pgstat_report_stat() on par with v17 and older versions.
Lowering the bounds is a change worth doing on its own, independently of
the other improvement.
These new numbers should be enough to leave some room for the following
years for built-in and custom stats kinds, with stable ID numbers. At
least that should be enough to start with this facility for extension
developers. It can be always increased in the tree depending on the
requirements wanted.

Previously, the tool could replay the same transaction twice, once during
recovery, then again during replication after the subscriber was set up.
This occurred because the same recovery_target_lsn was used both to
finalize recovery and to start replication. If
recovery_target_inclusive = true, the transaction at that LSN would be
applied during recovery and then sent again by the publisher leading to
duplication.
To prevent this, we now set recovery_target_inclusive = false. This
ensures the transaction at recovery_target_lsn is not reapplied during
recovery, avoiding duplication when replication begins.

Solaris has never bothered to add "const" to the second argument
of PAM conversation procs, as all other Unixen did decades ago.
This resulted in an "incompatible pointer" compiler warning when
building --with-pam, but had no more serious effect than that,
so we never did anything about it. However, as of GCC 14 the
case is an error not warning by default.
To complicate matters, recent OpenIndiana (and maybe illumos
in general?) *does* supply the "const" by default, so we can't
just assume that platforms using our solaris template need help.
What we can do, short of building a configure-time probe,
is to make solaris.h #define _PAM_LEGACY_NONCONST, which
causes OpenIndiana's pam_appl.h to revert to the traditional
definition, and hopefully will have no effect anywhere else.
Then we can use that same symbol to control whether we include
"const" in the declaration of pam_passwd_conv_proc().

If a crash occurs while writing a WAL record that spans multiple pages, the
recovery process marks the page with the XLP_FIRST_IS_OVERWRITE_CONTRECORD
flag. However, logical decoding currently attempts to read the full WAL
record based on its expected size before checking this flag, which can lead
to an infinite wait if the remaining data is never written (e.g., no activity
after crash).
This patch updates the logic first to read the page header and check for
the XLP_FIRST_IS_OVERWRITE_CONTRECORD flag before attempting to reconstruct
the full WAL record. If the flag is set, decoding correctly identifies
the record as incomplete and avoids waiting for WAL data that will never

If a MERGE inside a CTE attempts an UPDATE or DELETE on a table with
BEFORE ROW triggers, and a concurrent UPDATE or DELETE happens, the
merge code would fail (crashing in the case of an UPDATE action, and
potentially executing the wrong action for a DELETE action).
This is the same issue that 9321c79c86 attempted to fix, except now
for a MERGE inside a CTE. As noted in 9321c79c86, what needs to happen
is for the trigger code to exit early, returning the TM_Result and
TM_FailureData information to the merge code, if a concurrent
modification is detected, rather than attempting to do an EPQ
recheck. The merge code will then do its own rechecking, and rescan
the action list, potentially executing a different action in light of
the concurrent update. In particular, the trigger code must never call
ExecGetUpdateNewTuple() for MERGE, since that is bound to fail because
MERGE has its own per-action projection information.
Commit 9321c79c86 did this using estate->es_plannedstmt->commandType
in the trigger code to detect that a MERGE was being executed, which
is fine for a plain MERGE command, but does not work for a MERGE
inside a CTE. Fix by passing that information to the trigger code as
an additional parameter passed to ExecBRUpdateTriggers() and
ExecBRDeleteTriggers().
Back-patch as far as v17 only, since MERGE cannot appear inside a CTE
prior to that. Additionally, take care to preserve the trigger ABI in
v17 (though not in v18, which is still in beta).

This is the documented behavior, and it worked that way before
v10. However, addition of the connhost[] array created cases
where conn->connhost[conn->whichhost].port is NULL. The rest
of libpq is careful to substitute DEF_PGPORT[_STR] for a null
or empty port string, but we failed to do so here, leading to
possibly returning NULL. As of v18 that causes psql's \conninfo
command to segfault. Older psql versions avoid that, but it's
pretty likely that other clients have trouble with this,
so we'd better back-patch the fix.
In stable branches, just revert to our historical behavior of
returning an empty string when there was no user-given port
specification. However, it seems substantially more useful and
indeed more correct to hand back DEF_PGPORT_STR in such cases,
so let's make v18 and master do that.

Because not every path through JsonbIteratorNext() sets val->type,
some compilers complain that compareJsonbContainers() is comparing
possibly-uninitialized values. The paths that don't set it return
WJB_DONE, WJB_END_ARRAY, or WJB_END_OBJECT, so it's clear by
manual inspection that the "(ra == rb)" code path is safe, and
indeed we aren't seeing warnings about that. But the (ra != rb)
case is much less obviously safe. In Assert-enabled builds it
seems that the asserts rejecting WJB_END_ARRAY and WJB_END_OBJECT
persuade gcc 15.x not to warn, which makes little sense because
it's impossible to believe that the compiler can prove of its
own accord that ra/rb aren't WJB_DONE here. (In fact they never
will be, so the code isn't wrong, but why is there no warning?)
Without Asserts, the appearance of warnings is quite unsurprising.
We discussed fixing this by converting those two Asserts into
pg_assume, but that seems not very satisfactory when it's so unclear
why the compiler is or isn't warning: the warning could easily
reappear with some other compiler version. Let's fix it in a less
magical, more future-proof way by changing JsonbIteratorNext()
so that it always does set val->type. The cost of that should be
pretty negligible, and it makes the function's API spec less squishy.

getid() and putid(), which parse and deparse role names within ACL
input/output, applied isalnum() to see if a character within a role
name requires quoting. They did this even for non-ASCII characters,
which is problematic because the results would depend on encoding,
locale, and perhaps even platform. So it's possible that putid()
could elect not to quote some string that, later in some other
environment, getid() will decide is not a valid identifier, causing
dump/reload or similar failures.
To fix this in a way that won't risk interoperability problems
with unpatched versions, make getid() treat any non-ASCII as a
legitimate identifier character (hence not requiring quotes),
while making putid() treat any non-ASCII as requiring quoting.
We could remove the resulting excess quoting once we feel that
no unpatched servers remain in the wild, but that'll be years.
A lesser problem is that getid() did the wrong thing with an input
consisting of just two double quotes (""). That has to represent an
empty string, but getid() read it as a single double quote instead.
The case cannot arise in the normal course of events, since we don't
allow empty-string role names. But let's fix it while we're here.
Although we've not heard field reports of problems with non-ASCII
role names, there's clearly a hazard there, so back-patch to all
supported versions.

HAVE_SYS_[EVENT|EPOLL]_H. However, I implemented the new test via
check_header() -- which tries to compile -- rather than has_header(),
which just looks for the file's existence.
The distinction matters on OpenBSD, where <sys/event.h> can't be
compiled without including prerequisite headers, so -Dlibcurl=enabled
failed on that platform. Switch to has_header() to fix this.
Note that reviewers expressed concern about the difference between our
Autoconf feature tests (which compile headers) and our Meson feature

pl/pgsql's notion of an "expression" is very broad, encompassing
any SQL SELECT query that returns a single column and no more than
one row. So there are cases, for example evaluation of an aggregate
function, where the query involves significant work and it'd be useful
to run it with parallel workers. This used to be possible, but
commits 3eea7a0c9 et al unintentionally disabled it.
The simplest fix is to make exec_eval_expr() pass maxtuples = 0
rather than 2 to exec_run_select(). This avoids the new rule that
we will never use parallelism when a nonzero "count" limit is passed
to ExecutorRun(). (Note that the pre-3eea7a0c9 behavior was indeed
unsafe, so reverting that rule is not in the cards.) The reason
for passing 2 before was that exec_eval_expr() will throw an error
if it gets more than one returned row, so we figured that as soon
as we have two rows we know that will happen and we might as well
stop running the query. That choice was cost-free when it was made;
but disabling parallelism is far from cost-free, so now passing 2
amounts to optimizing a failure case at the expense of useful cases.
An expression query that can return more than one row is certainly
broken. People might now need to wait a bit longer to discover such
breakage; but hopefully few will use enormously expensive cases as
their first test of new pl/pgsql logic.

libxml2 has deprecated the members of xmlBuffer, and it is recommended
to access them with dedicated routines. We have only one case in the
tree where this shows an impact: xml2/xpath.c where "content" was
getting directly accessed. The rest of the code looked fine, checking
the PostgreSQL code with libxml2 close to the top of its "2.14" branch.

With tables defined like this,

CREATE TABLE ic (id int) INHERITS (ip);
ALTER TABLE ic ALTER id DROP NOT NULL;
pg_upgrade fails during the schema restore phase due to this error:
ERROR: column "id" in child table must be marked NOT NULL
This can only be fixed by marking the child column as NOT NULL before
the upgrade, which could take an arbitrary amount of time (because ic's
data must be scanned). Have pg_upgrade's check mode warn if that
condition is found, so that users know what to adjust before running the

Attempting to use commit timestamps during bootstrapping leads to an
assertion failure, that can be reached for example with an initdb -c

This problem has been independently reported once by each author of this

IsBootstrapProcessingMode() to skip the use of commit_ts during

Commits 8319e5cb5 et al missed the fact that ATPostAlterTypeCleanup
contains three calls to ATPostAlterTypeParse, and the other two
also need protection against passing a relid that we don't yet
have lock on. Add similar logic to those code paths, and add
some test cases demonstrating the need for it.
In v18 and master, the test cases demonstrate that there's a
behavioral discrepancy between stored generated columns and virtual
generated columns: we disallow changing the expression of a stored
column if it's used in any composite-type columns, but not that of
a virtual column. Since the expression isn't actually relevant to
either sort of composite-type usage, this prohibition seems
unnecessary; but changing it is a matter for separate discussion.
For now we are just documenting the existing behavior.

Recent nbtree bugfix commit 5f4d98d4 added a special case to the code
that sets up a page-level prefix of keys that are definitely satisfied
by every tuple on the page: whenever _bt_set_startikey reached a row
compare key, we'd refuse to apply the pstate.forcenonrequired behavior
in scans where that usually happens (scans with a higher-order array
key). That hack made the scan avoid essentially the same infinite
cycling behavior that also affected nbtree scans with redundant keys
(keys that preprocessing could not eliminate) prior to commit f09816a0.
There are now serious doubts about this row compare workaround.
Testing has shown that a scan with a row compare key and an array key
could still read the same leaf page twice (without the scan's direction
changing), which isn't supposed to be possible following the SAOP
enhancements added by Postgres 17 commit 5bf748b8. Also, we still
allowed a required row compare key to be used with forcenonrequired mode
when its header key happened to be beyond the pstate.ikey set by
_bt_set_startikey, which was complicated and brittle.
The underlying problem was that row compares had inconsistent rules
around how scans start (which keys can be used for initial positioning
purposes) and how scans end (which keys can set continuescan=false).
Quals with redundant keys that could not be eliminated by preprocessing
also had that same quality to them prior to today's bugfix f09816a0. It
now seems prudent to bring row compare keys in line with the new charter
for required keys, by making the start and end rules symmetric.
This commit fixes two points of disagreement between _bt_first and
_bt_check_rowcompare. Firstly, _bt_check_rowcompare was capable of
ending the scan at the point where it needed to compare an ISNULL-marked
row compare member that came immediately after a required row compare
member. _bt_first now has symmetric handling for NULL row compares.
Secondly, _bt_first had its own ideas about which keys were safe to use
for initial positioning purposes. It could use fewer or more keys than
_bt_check_rowcompare. _bt_first now uses the same requiredness markings
as _bt_check_rowcompare for this.
Now that _bt_first and _bt_check_rowcompare agree on how to start and
end scans, we can get rid of the forcenonrequired special case, without
any risk of infinite cycling. This approach also makes row compare keys
behave more like regular scalar keys, particularly within _bt_first.
Fixing these inconsistencies necessitates dealing with a related issue
with the way that row compares were marked required by preprocessing: we
didn't mark any lower-order row members required following 2016 bugfix
commit a298a1e0. That approach was over broad. The bug in question was
actually an oversight in how _bt_check_rowcompare dealt with tuple NULL
values that failed to satisfy a scan key marked required in the opposite
scan direction (it was a bug in 2011 commits 6980f817 and 882368e8, not
a bug in 2006 commit 3a0a16cb). Go back to marking row compare members
as required using the original 2006 rules, and fix the 2016 bug in a
more principled way: by limiting use of the "set continuescan=false with
a key required in the opposite scan direction upon encountering a NULL
tuple value" optimization to the first/most significant row member key.
While it isn't safe to use an implied IS NOT NULL qualifier to end the
scan when it comes from a required lower-order row compare member key,
it _is_ generally safe for such a required member key to end the scan --
provided the key is marked required in the _current_ scan direction.
This fixes what was arguably an oversight in either commit 5f4d98d4 or
commit 8a510275. It is a direct follow-up to today's commit f09816a0.

nbtree preprocessing's handling of redundant (and contradictory) keys
created problems for scans with = arrays. It was just about possible
for a scan with an = array key and one or more redundant keys (keys that
preprocessing could not eliminate due an incomplete opfamily and a
cross-type key) to get stuck. Testing has shown that infinite cycling
where the scan never manages to make forward progress was possible.
This could happen when the scan's arrays were reset in _bt_readpage's
forcenonrequired=true path (added by bugfix commit 5f4d98d4) when the
arrays weren't at least advanced up to the same point that they were in
at the start of the _bt_readpage call. Earlier redundant keys prevented
the finaltup call to _bt_advance_array_keys from reaching lower-order
keys that needed to be used to sufficiently advance the scan's arrays.
To fix, make preprocessing leave the scan's keys in a state that is as
close as possible to how it'll usually leave them (in the common case
where there's no redundant keys that preprocessing failed to eliminate).
Now nbtree preprocessing _reliably_ leaves behind at most one required
>/>= key per index column, and at most one required </<= key per index
column. Columns that have one or more = keys that are eligible to be
marked required (based on the traditional rules) prioritize the = keys
over redundant inequality keys; they'll _reliably_ be left with only one
of the = keys as the index column's only required key.
Keys that are not marked required (whether due to the new preprocessing
step running or for some other reason) are relocated to the end of the
so->keyData[] array as needed. That way they'll always be evaluated
after the scan's required keys, and so cannot prevent code in places
like _bt_advance_array_keys and _bt_first from reaching a required key.
Also teach _bt_first to decide which initial positioning keys to use
based on the same requiredness markings that have long been used by
_bt_checkkeys/_bt_advance_array_keys. This is a necessary condition for
reliably avoiding infinite cycling. _bt_advance_array_keys expects to
be able to reason about what'll happen in the next _bt_first call should
it start another primitive index scan, by evaluating inequality keys
that were marked required in the opposite-to-scan scan direction only.
Now everybody (_bt_first, _bt_checkkeys, and _bt_advance_array_keys)
will always agree on which exact key will be used on each index column
to start and/or end the scan (except when row compare keys are involved,
which have similar problems not addressed by this commit).
An upcoming commit will finish off the work started by this commit by
harmonizing how _bt_first, _bt_checkkeys, and _bt_advance_array_keys
apply row compare keys to start and end scans.
This fixes what was arguably an oversight in either commit 5f4d98d4 or
commit 8a510275.

Commit c120550edb86 optimized the vacuuming of relations without
indexes (a.k.a. one-pass strategy) by directly marking dead item IDs
as LP_UNUSED. However, the periodic FSM vacuum was still checking if
dead item IDs had been marked as LP_DEAD when attempting to vacuum the
FSM every VACUUM_FSM_EVERY_PAGES blocks. This condition was never met
due to the optimization, resulting in missed FSM vacuum
opportunities.
This commit modifies the periodic FSM vacuum condition to use the
number of tuples deleted during HOT pruning. This count includes items
marked as either LP_UNUSED or LP_REDIRECT, both of which are expected
to result in new free space to report.

When decompressing some input data, the calculation for the initial
starting point and the initial size were incorrect, potentially leading
to failures when decompressing contents with LZ4. These initialization
points are fixed in this commit, bringing the logic closer to what
exists for gzip and zstd.
The contents of the compressed data is clear (for example backups taken
with LZ4 can still be decompressed with a "lz4" command), only the
decompression part reading the input data was impacted by this issue.
This code path impacts pg_basebackup and pg_verifybackup, which can use
the LZ4 decompression routines with an archive streamer, or any tools
that try to use the archive streamers in src/fe_utils/.
The issue is easier to reproduce with files that have a low-compression
rate, like ones filled with random data, for a size of at least 512kB,
but this could happen with anything as long as it is stored in a data
folder. Some tests are added based on this idea, with a file filled
with random bytes grabbed from the backend, written at the root of the
data folder. This is proving good enough to reproduce the original
problem.

When querying NUMA status of pages in shared memory, we need to touch
the memory first to get valid results. This may trigger valgrind
reports, because some of the memory (e.g. unpinned buffers) may be
marked as noaccess.
Solved by adding a valgrind suppresion. An alternative would be to
adjust the access/noaccess status before touching the memory, but that
seems far too invasive. It would require all those places to have
detailed knowledge of what the shared memory stores.
The pg_numa_touch_mem_if_required() macro is replaced with a function.
Macros are invisible to suppressions, so it'd have to suppress reports
for the caller - e.g. pg_get_shmem_allocations_numa(). So we'd suppress
reports for the whole function, and that seems to heavy-handed. It might
easily hide other valid issues.

There's a kernel bug in do_pages_stat(), affecting systems combining
64-bit kernel and 32-bit user space. The function splits the request
into chunks of 16 pointers, but forgets the pointers are 32-bit when
advancing to the next chunk. Some of the pointers get skipped, and
memory after the array is interpreted as pointers. The result is that
the produced status of memory pages is mostly bogus.
Systems combining 64-bit and 32-bit environments like this might seem
rare, but that's not the case - all 32-bit Debian packages are built in
a 32-bit chroot on a system with a 64-bit kernel.
This is a long-standing kernel bug (since 2010), affecting pretty much
all kernels, so it'll take time until all systems get a fixed kernel.
Luckily, we can work around the issue by chunking the requests the same
way do_pages_stat() does, at least on affected systems. We don't know
what kernel a 32-bit build will run on, so all 32-bit builds use chunks
of 16 elements (the largest chunk before hitting the issue).
64-bit builds are not affected by this issue, and so could work without
the chunking. But chunking has other advantages, so we apply chunking
even for 64-bit builds, with chunks of 1024 elements.
