The TRACE_SORT macro guarded the availability of the trace_sort GUC
setting. But it has been enabled by default ever since it was
introduced in PostgreSQL 8.1, and there have been no reports that
someone wanted to disable it. So just remove the macro to simplify
things. (For the avoidance of doubt: The trace_sort GUC is still
there. This only removes the rarely-used macro guarding it.)

We've had code for CRC-32 and CRC-32C for some time (for WAL
records, etc.), but there was no way for users to call it, despite
apparent popular demand. The new crc32() and crc32c() functions
accept bytea input and return bigint (to avoid returning negative
values).

32d3ed816 added the "path" column to pg_backend_memory_contexts to allow
a stable method of obtaining the parent MemoryContext of a given row in
the view. Using the "path" column is now the preferred method of
obtaining the parent row.
Previously, any queries which were self-joining to this view using the
"name" and "parent" columns could get incorrect results due to the fact
that names are not unique. Here we aim to explicitly break such queries
so that they can be corrected and use the "path" column instead.
It is possible that there are more innocent users of the parent column
that just need an indication of the parent and having to write out a
self-joining CTE may be an unnecessary hassle for those cases. Let's
remove the column for now and see if anyone comes back with any
complaints. This does seem like a good time to attempt to get rid of
the column as we still have around 1 year to revert this if someone comes
back with a valid complaint. Plus this view is new to v14 and is quite
niche, so perhaps not many people will be affected.

pg_wal_replay_wait() is intended to be called on standby. However, standby
can be promoted to primary at any moment, even concurrently with the
pg_wal_replay_wait() call. If recovery is not currently in progress
that doesn't mean the wait was unsuccessful. Thus, we always need to recheck
if the target LSN is replayed.

When pg_dump retrieves the list of database objects and performs the
data dump, there was possibility that objects are replaced with others
of the same name, such as views, and access them. This vulnerability
could result in code execution with superuser privileges during the
pg_dump process.
This issue can arise when dumping data of sequences, foreign
tables (only 13 or later), or tables registered with a WHERE clause in
the extension configuration table.
To address this, pg_dump now utilizes the newly introduced
restrict_nonsystem_relation_kind GUC parameter to restrict the
accesses to non-system views and foreign tables during the dump
process. This new GUC parameter is added to back branches too, but
these changes do not require cluster recreation.
Back-patch to all supported branches.

This acts as a template of what can be achieved with the pluggable
cumulative stats APIs introduced in 7949d9594582 for the
variable-numbered case where stats entries are stored in the pgstats
dshash, while being potentially useful on its own for injection points,
say to add starting and/or stopping conditions based on the statistics
(want to trigger a callback after N calls, for example?).
Currently, the only data gathered is the number of times an injection
point is run. More fields can always be added as required. All the
routines related to the stats are located in their own file, called
injection_stats.c in the test module injection_points, for clarity.
The stats can be used only if the test module is loaded through
shared_preload_libraries. The key of the dshash uses InvalidOid for the
database, and an int4 hash of the injection point name as object ID.
A TAP test is added to provide coverage for the new custom cumulative
stats APIs, showing the persistency of the data across restarts, for
example.

This commit adds support in the backend for $subject, allowing
out-of-core extensions to plug their own custom kinds of cumulative
statistics. This feature has come up a few times into the lists, and
the first, original, suggestion came from Andres Freund, about
pg_stat_statements to use the cumulative statistics APIs in shared
memory rather than its own less efficient internals. The advantage of
this implementation is that this can be extended to any kind of
statistics.
The stats kinds are divided into two parts:
- The in-core "builtin" stats kinds, with designated initializers, able
to use IDs up to 128.
- The "custom" stats kinds, able to use a range of IDs from 128 to 256
(128 slots available as of this patch), with information saved in
TopMemoryContext. This can be made larger, if necessary.
There are two types of cumulative statistics in the backend:
- For fixed-numbered objects (like WAL, archiver, etc.). These are
attached to the snapshot and pgstats shmem control structures for
efficiency, and built-in stats kinds still do that to avoid any
redirection penalty. The data of custom kinds is stored in a first
array in snapshot structure and a second array in the shmem control
structure, both indexed by their ID, acting as an equivalent of the
builtin stats.
- For variable-numbered objects (like tables, functions, etc.). These
are stored in a dshash using the stats kind ID in the hash lookup key.
Internally, the handling of the builtin stats is unchanged, and both
fixed and variabled-numbered objects are supported. Structure
definitions for builtin stats kinds are renamed to reflect better the
differences with custom kinds.
Like custom RMGRs, custom cumulative statistics can only be loaded with
shared_preload_libraries at startup, and must allocate a unique ID
shared across all the PostgreSQL extension ecosystem with the following
wiki page to avoid conflicts:
https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/CustomCumulativeStats
This makes the detection of the stats kinds and their handling when
reading and writing stats much easier than, say, allocating IDs for
stats kinds from a shared memory counter, that may change the ID used by
a stats kind across restarts. When under development, extensions can
use PGSTAT_KIND_EXPERIMENTAL.
Two examples that can be used as templates for fixed-numbered and
variable-numbered stats kinds will be added in some follow-up commits,
with tests to provide coverage.
Some documentation is added to explain how to use this plugin facility.

pg_wal_replay_wait() is to be used on standby and specifies waiting for
the specific WAL location to be replayed. This option is useful when
the user makes some data changes on primary and needs a guarantee to see
these changes are on standby.
The queue of waiters is stored in the shared memory as an LSN-ordered pairing
heap, where the waiter with the nearest LSN stays on the top. During
the replay of WAL, waiters whose LSNs have already been replayed are deleted
from the shared memory pairing heap and woken up by setting their latches.
pg_wal_replay_wait() needs to wait without any snapshot held. Otherwise,
the snapshot could prevent the replay of WAL records, implying a kind of
self-deadlock. This is why it is only possible to implement
pg_wal_replay_wait() as a procedure working without an active snapshot,
not a function.
Catversion is bumped.

Some users inadvertently rely on pg_dump as their primary backup tool,
when better solutions exist. The pg_dump man page is arguably
misleading in that it starts with
"pg_dump is a utility for backing up a PostgreSQL database."
This tones this down a little bit, by replacing most uses of "backup"
with "export" and adding a short note that pg_dump is not a
general-purpose backup tool.

Modern versions of all relevant architectures and tool chains have
atomics support. Since edadeb07, there is no remaining reason to carry
code that simulates atomic flags and uint32 imperfectly with spinlocks.
64 bit atomics are still emulated with spinlocks, if needed, for now.
Any modern compiler capable of implementing C11 <stdatomic.h> must have
the underlying operations we need, though we don't require C11 yet. We
detect certain compilers and architectures, so hypothetical new systems

The documentation for System V IPC parameters provides complicated
formulas to determine the appropriate values for SEMMNI and SEMMNS.
Furthermore, these formulas have often been wrong because folks
forget to update them (e.g., when adding a new auxiliary process).
This commit introduces a new runtime-computed GUC named
num_os_semaphores that reports the number of semaphores needed for
the configured number of allowed connections, worker processes,
etc. This new GUC allows us to simplify the formulas in the
documentation, and it should help prevent future inaccuracies.
Like the other runtime-computed GUCs, users can view it with
"postgres -C" before starting the server, which is useful for
preconfiguring the necessary operating system resources.

This commit extends the postgres_fdw_get_connections() function to
include a new used_in_xact column, indicating whether each connection
is used in the current transaction.
This addition is particularly useful for the upcoming feature that
will check if connections are closed. By using those information,
users can verify if postgres_fdw connections used in a transaction
remain open. If any connection is closed, the transaction cannot
be committed successfully. In this case users can roll back it
immediately without waiting for transaction end.
The SQL API for postgres_fdw_get_connections() is updated by
this commit and may change in the future. To handle compatibility
with older SQL declarations, an API versioning system is introduced,
allowing the function to behave differently based on the API version.

This adds an IS_INJECTION_POINT_ATTACHED() macro, to allow writing

"path" provides a reliable method of determining the parent/child
relationships between memory contexts. Previously this could be done in
a non-reliable way by writing a recursive query and joining the "parent"
and "name" columns. This wasn't reliable as the names were not unique,
which could result in joining to the wrong parent.
To make this reliable, "path" stores an array of numerical identifiers
starting with the identifier for TopLevelMemoryContext. It contains an
element for each intermediate parent between that and the current context.
Incompatibility: Here we also adjust the "level" column to make it
1-based rather than 0-based. A 1-based level provides a convenient way
to access elements in the "path" array. e.g. path[level] gives the
identifier for the current context.
Identifiers are not stable across multiple evaluations of the view. In
an attempt to make these more stable for ad-hoc queries, the identifiers
are assigned breadth-first. Contexts closer to TopLevelMemoryContext
are less likely to change between queries and during queries.

The two_phase option is controlled by both the publisher (as a slot
option) and the subscriber (as a subscription option), so the slot option
must also be modified.
Changing the 'two_phase' option for a subscription from 'true' to 'false'
is permitted only when there are no pending prepared transactions
corresponding to that subscription. Otherwise, the changes of already
prepared transactions can be replicated again along with their corresponding
commit leading to duplicate data or errors.
To avoid data loss, the 'two_phase' option for a subscription can only be
changed from 'false' to 'true' once the initial data synchronization is
completed. Therefore this is performed later by the logical replication worker.

Also, document that "MOVE count IN cursor" only works if count

To do this, we must include the wal_level in the first WAL record
covered by each summary file; so add wal_level to struct Checkpoint
and the payload of XLOG_CHECKPOINT_REDO and XLOG_END_OF_RECOVERY.
This, in turn, requires bumping XLOG_PAGE_MAGIC and, since the
Checkpoint is also stored in the control file, also
PG_CONTROL_VERSION. It's not great to do that so late in the release
cycle, but the alternative seems to ship v17 without robust
protections against this scenario, which could result in corrupted
incremental backups.
A side effect of this patch is that, when a server with
wal_level=replica is started with summarize_wal=on for the first time,
summarization will no longer begin with the oldest WAL that still
exists in pg_wal, but rather from the first checkpoint after that.
This change should be harmless, because a WAL summary for a partial
checkpoint cycle can never make an incremental backup possible when
it would otherwise not have been.
Report by Fujii Masao. Patch by me. Review and/or testing by Jakub
Wartak and Fujii Masao.

This new macro is able to perform a direct lookup from the local cache
of injection points (refreshed each time a point is loaded or run),
without touching the shared memory state of injection points at all.
This works in combination with INJECTION_POINT_LOAD(), and it is better
than INJECTION_POINT() in a critical section due to the fact that it
would avoid all memory allocations should a concurrent detach happen
since a LOAD(), as it retrieves a callback from the backend-private
memory.
The documentation is updated to describe in more details how to use this
new macro with a load. Some tests are added to the module
injection_points based on a new SQL function that acts as a wrapper of
INJECTION_POINT_CACHED().
Based on a suggestion from Heikki Linnakangas.

The CREATE TABLE option is GENERATED BY DEFAULT *AS* IDENTITY.
Per bug #18543 from Ondřej Navrátil. Seems to have crept in
in a37bb7c13, so back-patch to v17 where that was added.

Using <replaceable>text</replaceable> inside parantheses is not a
common or good style, so rephrase a sentence to avoid that style.
Also rephrase the text in that paragraph a bit while at it.

Point out that savepoint commands cannot be issued in PL/pgSQL,
and suggest that exception blocks can usually be used instead.
Add a caveat to the discussion of cursor loops vs. transactions,
pointing out that any locks taken by the cursor query will be lost
at COMMIT. This is implicit in what's already said, but the existing
text leaves the distinct impression that the auto-hold behavior is
transparent, which it's not really.
Per a couple of recent complaints (one unsigned, and one in bug #18531
from Dzmitry Jachnik). Back-patch to v17, just so this makes it into
current docs in less than a year-and-a-half.

As commit ca4103025d stated, new partitions without a specified tablespace
should inherit the parent relation's tablespace. However, previously,
ALTER TABLE MERGE PARTITIONS and ALTER TABLE SPLIT PARTITION commands
always created new partitions in the default tablespace, ignoring
the parent's tablespace. This commit ensures new partitions inherit
the parent's tablespace.
Backpatch to v17 where these commands were introduced.

Like min/max for arrays, these are just thin wrappers around
the existing btree comparison function for records.

Presently, the page for predefined roles contains a table with
brief descriptions of what each role allows. Below the table,
there is a separate section with more detailed information about
some of the roles. As the set of predefined roles has grown over
the years, this page has (IMHO) become less readable.
This commit attempts to improve the predefined roles documentation
by abandoning the table in favor of listing each role with its own
complete description, similar to how we document GUCs. Besides
merging the information that was split between the table and the
section below it, this commit also alphabetizes the roles. The
alphabetization is imperfect because some of the roles are grouped
(e.g., pg_read_all_data and pg_write_all_data), and we order such
groups by the first role mentioned, but that seemed like a better
choice than breaking the groups apart. Finally, this commit makes
some stylistic adjustments to the text.

The I/O timing information collected when track_io_timing is
enabled is now documented to appear in the pg_stat_io view,
which was previously not mentioned.
This commit also enhances the description of track_io_timing
to clarify that it monitors not only block read and write
but also block extend and fsync operations. Additionally,
the description of track_wal_io_timing has been improved
to mention both WAL write and WAL fsync monitoring.
Backpatch to v16 where pg_stat_io was added.
