Reset relhassubclass upon attaching table as a partition
We don't allow inheritance parents as partitions, and have checks to
prevent this; but if a table _was_ in the past an inheritance parents
and all their children are removed, the pg_class.relhassubclass flag
may remain set, which confuses the partition pruning code (most

may be worse.)

Ensure vacuum removes all visibly dead tuples older than OldestXmin
If vacuum fails to remove a tuple with xmax older than
VacuumCutoffs->OldestXmin and younger than GlobalVisState->maybe_needed,
it will loop infinitely in lazy_scan_prune(), which compares tuples'
visibility information to OldestXmin.
Starting in version 14, which uses GlobalVisState for visibility testing
during pruning, it is possible for GlobalVisState->maybe_needed to
precede OldestXmin if maybe_needed is forced to go backward while vacuum
is running. This can happen if a disconnected standby with a running
transaction older than VacuumCutoffs->OldestXmin reconnects to the
primary after vacuum initially calculates GlobalVisState and OldestXmin.
Fix this by having vacuum always remove tuples older than OldestXmin
during pruning. This is okay because the standby won't replay the tuple
removal until the tuple is removable. Thus, the worst that can happen is
a recovery conflict.

Fix lost Windows socket EOF events.

end disconnects non-gracefully, because FD_CLOSE is repeatedly signaled

To fix this design flaw in our Windows socket support fundamentally,
we'd probably need to rearchitect it so that a single event handle
exists for the lifetime of a socket, or switch to completely different

Fix ALTER TABLE DETACH for inconsistent indexes
When a partitioned table has an index that doesn't support a constraint,
but a partition has an equivalent index that does, then a DETACH
operation would misbehave: a crash in assertion-enabled systems (because
we fail to find the constraint in the parent that we expect to), or a
broken coninhcount value (-1) in production systems (because we blindly
believe that we've successfully detached the parent).
While we should reject an ATTACH of a partition with such an index, we
have failed to do so in existing releases, so adding an error in stable
releases might break the (unlikely) existing applications that rely on
this behavior. At this point I don't even want to reject them in
master, because it'd break pg_upgrade if such databases exist, and there
would be no easy way to fix existing databases without expensive index
rebuilds.
(Later on we could add ALTER TABLE ... ADD CONSTRAINT USING INDEX to
partitioned tables, which would allow the user to fix such patterns. At
that point we could add more restrictions to prevent the problem from
its root.)
Also, add a test case that leaves one table in this condition, so that
we can verify that pg_upgrade continues to work if we later decide to
change the policy on the master branch.

Fix possibility of logical decoding partial transaction changes.
When creating and initializing a logical slot, the restart_lsn is set
to the latest WAL insertion point (or the latest replay point on
standbys). Subsequently, WAL records are decoded from that point to
find the start point for extracting changes in the
DecodingContextFindStartpoint() function. Since the initial
restart_lsn could be in the middle of a transaction, the start point
must be a consistent point where we won't see the data for partial
transactions.
Previously, when not building a full snapshot, serialized snapshots
were restored, and the SnapBuild jumps to the consistent state even
while finding the start point. Consequently, the slot's restart_lsn
and confirmed_flush could be set to the middle of a transaction. This
could lead to various unexpected consequences. Specifically, there
were reports of logical decoding decoding partial transactions, and
assertion failures occurred because only subtransactions were decoded
without decoding their top-level transaction until decoding the commit
record.
To resolve this issue, the changes prevent restoring the serialized
snapshot and jumping to the consistent state while finding the start
point.
On v17 and HEAD, a flag indicating whether snapshot restores should be
skipped has been added to the SnapBuild struct, and SNAPBUILD_VERSION
has been bumpded.

Lock before setting relhassubclass on RELKIND_PARTITIONED_INDEX.
Commit
5b562644fec696977df4a82790064e8287927891 added a comment that
SetRelationHasSubclass() callers must hold this lock. When commit
17f206fbc824d2b4b14480199ca9ff7dea417eda extended use of this column to
partitioned indexes, it didn't take the lock. As the latter commit
message mentioned, we currently never reset a partitioned index to
relhassubclass=f. That largely avoids harm from the lock omission. The
cause for fixing this now is to unblock introducing a rule about locks
required to heap_update() a pg_class row. This might cause more
deadlocks. It gives minor user-visible benefits:
- If an ALTER INDEX SET TABLESPACE runs concurrently with ALTER TABLE
ATTACH PARTITION or CREATE PARTITION OF, one transaction blocks
instead of failing with "tuple concurrently updated". (Many cases of
DDL concurrency still fail that way.)
- Match ALTER INDEX ATTACH PARTITION in choosing to lock the index.

Avoid crashing when a JIT-inlined backend function throws an error.
errfinish() assumes that the __FUNC__ and __FILE__ arguments it's
passed are compile-time constant strings that can just be pointed
to rather than physically copied. However, it's possible for LLVM
to generate code in which those pointers point into a dynamically
loaded code segment. If that segment gets unloaded before we're
done with the ErrorData struct, we have dangling pointers that
will lead to SIGSEGV. In simple cases that won't happen, because we
won't unload LLVM code before end of transaction. But it's possible
to happen if the error is thrown within end-of-transaction code run by
_SPI_commit or _SPI_rollback, because since commit
2e517818f those
functions clean up by ending the transaction and starting a new one.
Rather than fixing this by adding pstrdup() overhead to every
elog/ereport sequence, let's fix it by copying the risky pointers
in CopyErrorData(). That solves it for _SPI_commit/_SPI_rollback
because they use that function to preserve the error data across
the transaction end/restart sequence; and it seems likely that
any other code doing something similar would need to do that too.
I'm suspicious that this behavior amounts to an LLVM bug (or a
bug in our use of it?), because it implies that string constant
references that should be pointer-equal according to a naive
understanding of C semantics will sometimes not be equal.
However, even if it is a bug and someday gets fixed, we'll have
to cope with the current behavior for a long time to come.

Fix partition pruning setup during DETACH CONCURRENTLY
When detaching partition in concurrent mode, it's possible for partition
descriptors to not match the set that was recently seen when the plan
was made, causing an assertion failure or (in production builds) failure
to construct a working plan. The case that was reported involves
prepared statements, but I think it may be possible to hit this bug
without that too.
The problem is that CreatePartitionPruneState is constructing a
PartitionPruneState under the assumption that new partitions can be
added, but never removed, but it turns out that this isn't true: a
prepared statement gets replanned when the DETACH CONCURRENTLY session
sends out its invalidation message, but if the invalidation message
arrives after ExecInitAppend started, we would build a partition
descriptor without the partition, and then CreatePartitionPruneState
would refuse to work with it.
CreatePartitionPruneState already contains code to deal with the new
descriptor having more partitions than before (and behaving for the
extra partitions as if they had been pruned), but doesn't have code to
deal with less partitions than before, and it is naïve about the case
where the number of partitions is the same. We could simply add that a
new stanza for less partitions than before, and in simple testing it
works to do that; but it's possible to press the test scripts even
further and hit the case where one partition is added and a partition is
removed quickly enough that we see the same number of partitions, but
they don't actually match, causing hangs during execution.
To cope with both these problems, we now memcmp() the arrays of
partition OIDs, and do a more elaborate mapping (relying on the fact
that both OID arrays are in partition-bounds order) if they're not
identical.

Fix possible Assert failure in cost_memoize_rescan
In cost_memoize_rescan(), when calculating the hit_ratio using the calls
and ndistinct estimations, if the value that was set in
MemoizePath.calls had not been processed through clamp_row_est(), then it
was possible that it was set to some non-integer value which could result
in ndistinct being 1 higher than calls due to estimate_num_groups()
performing clamp_row_est() on its input_rows. This could result in
hit_ratio values slightly below 0.0, which would cause an Assert failure.
The value of MemoizePath.calls comes from the final parameter in the
create_memoize_path() function, of which we only have one true caller of.
That caller passes outer_path->rows. All the core code I looked at
always seems to call clamp_row_est() on the Path.rows, so there might
have been no issues with any core Paths causing troubles here. The bug
report was about a CustomPath with a non-clamped row estimated.
The misbehavior as a result of this seems to be mostly limited to the
Assert() failing. Aside from that, it seems the Memoize costs would
just come out slightly higher than they should have, which is likely
fairly harmless.

Fix insertion of SP-GiST REDIRECT tuples during REINDEX CONCURRENTLY.
Reconstruction of an SP-GiST index by REINDEX CONCURRENTLY may
insert some REDIRECT tuples. This will typically happen in
a transaction that lacks an XID, which leads either to assertion
failure in spgFormDeadTuple or to insertion of a REDIRECT tuple
with zero xid. The latter's not good either, since eventually
VACUUM will apply GlobalVisTestIsRemovableXid() to the zero xid,
resulting in either an assertion failure or a garbage answer.
In practice, since REINDEX CONCURRENTLY locks out index scans
till it's done, it doesn't matter whether it inserts REDIRECTs
or PLACEHOLDERs; and likewise it doesn't matter how soon VACUUM
reduces such a REDIRECT to a PLACEHOLDER. So in non-assert builds
there's no observable problem here, other than perhaps a little
index bloat. But it's not behaving as intended.
To fix, remove the failing Assert in spgFormDeadTuple, acknowledging
that we might sometimes insert a zero XID; and guard VACUUM's
GlobalVisTestIsRemovableXid() call with a test for valid XID,
ensuring that we'll reduce such a REDIRECT the first time VACUUM
sees it. (Versions before v14 use TransactionIdPrecedes here,
which won't fail on zero xid, so they really have no bug at all
in non-assert builds.)
Another solution could be to not create REDIRECTs at all during
REINDEX CONCURRENTLY, making the relevant code paths treat that
case like index build (which likewise knows that no concurrent
index scans can be happening). That would allow restoring the
Assert in spgFormDeadTuple, but we'd still need the VACUUM change
because redirection tuples with zero xid may be out there already.
But there doesn't seem to be a nice way for spginsert() to tell that
it's being called in REINDEX CONCURRENTLY without some API changes,
so we'll leave that as a possible future improvement.
In HEAD, also rename the SpGistState.myXid field to redirectXid,
which seems less misleading (since it might not in fact be our
transaction's XID) and is certainly less uninformatively generic.

When replanning a plpgsql "simple expression", check it's still simple.
The previous coding here assumed that we didn't need to recheck any
of the querytree tests made in exec_simple_check_plan(). I think
we supposed that those properties were fully determined by the
syntax of the source text and hence couldn't change. That is true
for most of them, but at least hasTargetSRFs and hasAggs can change
by dint of forcibly dropping an originally-referenced function and
recreating it with new properties. That leads to "unexpected plan
node type" or similar failures.
These tests are pretty cheap compared to the cost of replanning, so
rather than sweat over exactly which properties need to be rechecked,
let's just recheck them all. Hence, factor out those tests into a new
function exec_is_simple_query(), and rearrange callers as needed.
A second problem in the same area was that if we failed during
replanning or during exec_save_simple_expr(), we'd potentially
leave behind now-dangling pointers to the old simple expression,
potentially resulting in crashes later. To fix, clear those pointers
before replanning.
The v12 code looks quite different in this area but still has the
bug about needing to recheck query simplicity. I chose to back-patch
all of the plpgsql_simple.sql test script, which formerly didn't exist
in this branch.

Reject modifying a temp table of another session with ALTER TABLE.
Normally this case isn't even reachable by non-superusers, since
permissions checks prevent naming such a table. However, it is
possible to make it happen by altering a parent table whose child
is another session's temp table.
We definitely can't support any such ALTER that requires modifying
the contents of such a table, since we lack access to the other
session's temporary-buffer pool. But there seems no good reason
to allow it even if it'd only require changing catalog contents.
One reason not to allow it is that we'd rather not expose the
implementation-dependent behavior of whether a specific ALTER
requires touching the table contents. Another is that there may
be (in future, even if not today) optimizations that assume that
a session's own temp tables won't be modified by other sessions.

Fix failure with SQL-procedure polymorphic output arguments in v12.
Before the v13-era commit
913bbd88d, check_sql_fn_retval fails to
resolve polymorphic output types and then just throws up its hands and

ordinary functions returning RECORD, but it doesn't happen in CALL,
potentially resulting in crashes if the actual output of the SQL
procedure's SELECT doesn't match the type inferred from polymorphism.
With a little bit of rearrangement, we can use get_call_result_type

I'm still unwilling to back-patch all of

simple_debug after acquiring the mutex. In the worst case, calling

This is largely hypothetical, since it's unlikely anybody uses

Account for optimized MinMax aggregates during SS_finalize_plan.
We are capable of optimizing MIN() and MAX() aggregates on indexed
columns into subqueries that exploit the index, rather than the normal
thing of scanning the whole table. When we do this, we replace the
Aggref node(s) with Params referencing subquery outputs. Such Params
really ought to be included in the per-plan-node extParam/allParam
sets computed by SS_finalize_plan. However, we've never done so
up to now because of an ancient implementation choice to perform
that substitution during set_plan_references, which runs after
SS_finalize_plan, so that SS_finalize_plan never sees these Params.
The cleanest fix would be to perform a separate tree walk to do
these substitutions before SS_finalize_plan runs. That seems
unattractive, first because a whole-tree mutation pass is expensive,
and second because we lack infrastructure for visiting expression
subtrees in a Plan tree, so that we'd need a new function knowing
as much as SS_finalize_plan knows about that. I also considered
swapping the order of SS_finalize_plan and set_plan_references,
but that fell foul of various assumptions that seem tricky to fix.
So the approach adopted here is to teach SS_finalize_plan itself
to check for such Aggrefs. I refactored things a bit in setrefs.c

Fix privilege checks in pg_stats_ext and pg_stats_ext_exprs.

Disallow converting a table to a view within an outer SQL command.
We have long disallowed all forms of ALTER TABLE if the table is
already opened by some outer SQL command in the same session.
This has the same purpose as obtaining AccessExclusiveLock, but
since a session's own locks don't conflict the lock only blocks use
of the table by other sessions, not our own. Without this check,
the ALTER might confuse the outer SQL command since any previous
inspection of the table would potentially become invalid.
However, the RelisBecomingView code path in DefineQueryRewrite never
got that memo, and assumed that AccessExclusiveLock is sufficient
for performing something morally equivalent to a rather invasive
ALTER TABLE. Unsurprisingly, this can confuse an outer command
that is trying to do something with the table.
This was submitted as a security issue, but the security team
has been unable to identify any consequence worse than a null
pointer dereference (from trying to access rd_tableam methods
that the relation no longer has). Therefore, in accordance
with our usual policy, it's not security material and should
just be fixed as a routine bug.
Fix by disallowing the operation if the table is open locally,
exactly as ALTER TABLE does it.

Throw a more on-point error for functions depending on columns.
ALTER COLUMN TYPE wasn't expecting to find any pg_proc objects

wasn't possible when this code was written, but it is possible
since we introduced new-style SQL function bodies.
It's about as difficult to fix this case as it is to fix dependent

Fix assorted bugs in ecpg's macro mechanism.
The code associated with EXEC SQL DEFINE was unreadable and full of
bugs, notably:
* It'd attempt to free a non-malloced string if the ecpg program
tries to redefine a macro that was defined on the command line.
* Possible memory stomp if user writes "-D=foo".
* Undef'ing or redefining a macro defined on the command line would
change the state visible to the next file, when multiple files are
specified on the command line. (While possibly that could have been
an intentional choice, the code clearly intends to revert to the
original macro state; it's just failing to consider this interaction.)
* Missing "break" in defining a new macro meant that redefinition
of an existing name would cause an extra entry to be added to the
definition list. While not immediately harmful, a subsequent undef
would result in the prior entry becoming visible again.
* The interactions with input buffering are subtle and were entirely
undocumented.
It's not that surprising that we hadn't noticed these bugs,
because there was no test coverage at all of either the -D
command line switch or multiple input files. This patch adds
such coverage (in a rather hacky way I guess).
In addition to the code bugs, the user documentation was confused
about whether the -D switch defines a C macro or an ecpg one, and
it failed to mention that you can write "-Dsymbol=value".

Fix generation of EC join conditions at the wrong plan level.
get_baserel_parampathinfo previously assumed without checking that
the results of generate_join_implied_equalities "necessarily satisfy

presence of outer joins, because the generated clauses could include
Vars that mustn't be evaluated below a relevant outer join. That
led to applying clauses at the wrong plan level and possibly getting
incorrect query results. We must check each clause's nullable_relids,
and really the right thing to do is test join_clause_is_movable_into.
However, trying to fix it that way exposes an oversight in
equivclass.c: it wasn't careful about marking join clauses for
appendrel children with the correct clause_relids. That caused the

xml2: Replace deprecated routines with recommended ones
Some functions are used in the tree and are currently marked as
deprecated by upstream. This commit refreshes the code to use the
recommended functions, leading to the following changes:
- xmlSubstituteEntitiesDefault() is gone, and needs to be replaced with
XML_PARSE_NOENT for the paths doing the parsing.
- xmlParseMemory() -> xmlReadMemory().
These functions, as well as more functions setting global states, have
been officially marked as deprecated by upstream in August 2022. Their
replacements exist since the 2001-ish area, as far as I have checked,
so that should be safe.

Fix type-checking of RECORD-returning functions in FROM, redux.
Commit
2ed8f9a01 intended to institute a policy that if a
RangeTblFunction has a coldeflist, then the function return type is
certainly RECORD, and we should use the coldeflist as the source of
truth about what the columns of the record type are. When the
original function has been folded to a constant, inspection of the
constant might give a different answer. This situation will lead to
a tuple-type-mismatch error at execution, but up until that point we
need to consistently believe the coldeflist, or we'll have problems
from different bits of code reaching different conclusions.
expandRTE didn't get that memo though, and would try to produce a
tupdesc based on the constant in this situation, leading to an
assertion failure. (Desultory testing suggests that non-assert
builds often manage to give the expected error, although I also
saw a "cache lookup failed for type 0" error, and it seems at
least possible that a crash could happen.)
Some other callers of get_expr_result_type and get_expr_result_tupdesc
were also being incautious about this. While none of them seem to
have actual bugs, they're working harder than necessary in this case,
besides which it seems safest to have an explicit policy of not using
those functions on an RTE with a coldeflist. Adjust the code
accordingly, and add commentary to funcapi.c about this policy.
Also fix an obsolete comment that claimed "get_expr_result_type()
doesn't know how to extract type info from a RECORD constant".
