Backpatch nbtree page deletion hardening.
Postgres 14 commit
5b861baa taught nbtree VACUUM to tolerate buggy
opclasses. VACUUM's inability to locate a to-be-deleted page's downlink
in the parent page was logged instead of throwing an error. VACUUM
could just press on with vacuuming the index, and vacuuming the table as
a whole.
There are now anecdotal reports of this error causing problems that were
much more disruptive than the underlying index corruption ever could be.
Anything that makes VACUUM unable to make forward progress against one
table/index ultimately risks making the system enter xidStopLimit mode.
There is no good reason to take any chances here, so backpatch the
hardening commit.

Doc: clarify partitioned table limitations
Improve documentation regarding the limitations of unique and primary key
constraints on partitioned tables. The existing documentation didn't make
it clear that the constraint columns had to be present in the partition
key as bare columns. The reader could be led to believe that it was ok to
include the constraint columns as part of a function call's parameters or
as part of an expression. Additionally, the documentation didn't mention
anything about the fact that we disallow unique and primary key
constraints if the partition keys contain *any* function calls or
expressions, regardless of if the constraint columns appear as columns
elsewhere in the partition key.
The confusion here was highlighted by a report on the general mailing list
by James Vanns.

Fix some possibly latent bugs in slab.c
Primarily, this fixes an incorrect calculation in SlabCheck which was
looking in the wrong byte for the sentinel check. The reason that we've
never noticed this before in the form of a failing sentinel check is
because the pre-check to this always fails because all current core users
of slab contexts have a chunk size which is already MAXALIGNed, therefore
there's never any space for the sentinel byte. It is possible that an
extension needs to use a slab context and if they do with a chunk size
that's not MAXALIGNed, then they'll likely get errors about overwritten
sentinel bytes.
Additionally, this patch changes various calculations which are being done
based on the sizeof(SlabBlock). Currently, sizeof(SlabBlock) is a
multiple of 8, therefore sizeof(SlabBlock) is the same as
MAXALIGN(sizeof(SlabBlock)), however, if we were to ever have to add any
fields to that struct as part of a bug fix, then SlabAlloc could end up
returning a non-MAXALIGNed pointer. To be safe, let's ensure we always
MAXALIGN sizeof(SlabBlock) before using it in any calculations.
This patch has already been applied to master in
d5ee4db0e.

Prevent long-term memory leakage in autovacuum launcher.
get_database_list() failed to restore the caller's memory context,
instead leaving current context set to TopMemoryContext which is
how CommitTransactionCommand() leaves it. The callers both think
they are using short-lived contexts, for the express purpose of

The net effect therefore is that supposedly short-lived allocations
could accumulate indefinitely in the launcher's TopMemoryContext.
Although this has been broken for a long time, it seems we didn't
have any obvious memory leak here until v15's rearrangement of the

In the Snowball dictionary, don't try to stem excessively-long words.
If the input word exceeds 1000 bytes, don't pass it to the stemmer;
just return it as-is after case folding. Such an input is surely
not a word in any human language, so whatever the stemmer might
do to it would be pretty dubious in the first place. Adding this
restriction protects us against a known recursion-to-stack-overflow

the Snowball stemmers. (I note, for example, that they contain no

On NetBSD, force dynamic symbol resolution at postmaster start.
The default of lazy symbol resolution means that when the postmaster
first reaches the select() call in ServerLoop, it'll need to resolve
the link to that libc entry point. NetBSD's dynamic loader takes
an internal lock while doing that, and if a signal interrupts the
operation then there is a risk of self-deadlock should the signal
handler do anything that requires that lock, as several of the
postmaster signal handlers do. The window for this is pretty narrow,
and timing considerations make it unlikely that a signal would arrive
right then anyway. But it's semi-repeatable on slow single-CPU
machines, and in principle the race could happen with any hardware.
The least messy solution to this is to force binding of dynamic
symbols at postmaster start, using the "-z now" linker option.
While we're at it, also use "-z relro" so as to provide a small
security gain.
It's not entirely clear whether any other platforms share this
issue, but for now we'll assume it's NetBSD-specific. (We might
later try to use "-z now" on more platforms for performance
reasons, but that would not likely be something to back-patch.)

Prevent WAL corruption after a standby promotion.
When a PostgreSQL instance performing archive recovery but not using
standby mode is promoted, and the last WAL segment that it attempted
to read ended in a partial record, the previous code would create
invalid WAL on the new timeline. The WAL from the previously timeline
would be copied to the new timeline up until the end of the last valid
record, but instead of beginning to write WAL at immediately
afterwards, the promoted server would write an overwrite contrecord at
the beginning of the next segment. The end of the previous segment
would be left as all-zeroes, resulting in failures if anything tried
to read WAL from that file.
The root of the issue is that ReadRecord() decides whether to set
abortedRecPtr and missingContrecPtr based on the value of StandbyMode,
but ReadRecord() switches to a new timeline based on the value of
ArchiveRecoveryRequested. We shouldn't try to write an overwrite
contrecord if we're switching to a new timeline, so change the test in
ReadRecod() to check ArchiveRecoveryRequested instead.

Repair rare failure of MULTIEXPR_SUBLINK subplans in inherited updates.
Prior to v14, if we have a MULTIEXPR SubPlan (that is, use of the syntax
UPDATE ... SET (c1, ...) = (SELECT ...)) in an UPDATE with an inherited
or partitioned target table, inheritance_planner() will clone the
targetlist and therefore also the MULTIEXPR SubPlan and the Param nodes
referencing it for each child target table. Up to now, we've allowed
all the clones to share the underlying subplan as well as the output
parameter IDs -- that is, the runtime ParamExecData slots. That
technique is borrowed from the far older code that supports initplans,
and it works okay in that case because the cloned SubPlan nodes are
essentially identical. So it doesn't matter which one of the clones
the shared ParamExecData.execPlan field might point to.
However, this fails to hold for MULTIEXPR SubPlans, because they can
have nonempty "args" lists (values to be passed into the subplan), and
those lists could get mutated to different states in the various clones.
In the submitted reproducer, as well as the test case added here, one
clone contains Vars with varno OUTER_VAR where another has INNER_VAR,
because the child tables are respectively on the outer or inner side of
the join. Sharing the execPlan pointer can result in trying to evaluate
an args list that doesn't match the local execution state, with mayhem
ensuing. The result often is to trigger consistency checks in the
executor, but I believe this could end in a crash or incorrect updates.
To fix, assign new Param IDs to each of the cloned SubPlans, so that
they don't share ParamExecData slots at runtime. It still seems fine
for the clones to share the underlying subplan, and extra ParamExecData
slots are cheap enough that this fix shouldn't cost much.
This has been busted since we invented MULTIEXPR SubPlans in 9.5.
Probably the lack of previous reports is because query plans in which
the different clones of a MULTIEXPR mutate to effectively-different
states are pretty rare. There's no issue in v14 and later, because
without inheritance_planner() there's never a reason to clone
MULTIEXPR SubPlans.

Fix subtly-incorrect matching of parent and child partitioned indexes.
When creating a partitioned index, DefineIndex tries to identify
any existing indexes on the partitions that match the partitioned
index, so that it can absorb those as child indexes instead of
building new ones. Part of the matching is to compare IndexInfo
structs --- but that wasn't done quite right. We're comparing
the IndexInfo built within DefineIndex itself to one made from
existing catalog contents by BuildIndexInfo. Notably, while
BuildIndexInfo will run index expressions and predicates through
expression preprocessing, that has not happened to DefineIndex's
struct. The result is failure to match and subsequent creation
of duplicate indexes.
The easiest and most bulletproof fix is to build a new IndexInfo
using BuildIndexInfo, thereby guaranteeing that the processing done
is identical.

Preserve memory context of VarStringSortSupport buffers.
When enlarging the work buffers of a VarStringSortSupport object,
varstrfastcmp_locale was careful to keep them in the ssup_cxt
memory context; but varstr_abbrev_convert just used palloc().
The latter creates a hazard that the buffers could be freed out
from under the VarStringSortSupport object, resulting in stomping
on whatever gets allocated in that memory later.
In practice, because we only use this code for ICU collations
(cf.
3df9c374e), the problem is confined to use of ICU collations.
I believe it may have been unreachable before the introduction
of incremental sort, too, as traditional sorting usually just
uses one context for the duration of the sort.
We could fix this by making the broken stanzas in varstr_abbrev_convert
match the non-broken ones in varstrfastcmp_locale. However, it seems
like a better idea to dodge the issue altogether by replacing the
pfree-and-allocate-anew coding with repalloc, which automatically
preserves the chunk's memory context. This fix does add a few cycles
because repalloc will copy the chunk's content, which the existing
coding assumes is useless. However, we don't expect that these buffer
enlargement operations are performance-critical. Besides that, it's
far from obvious that copying the buffer contents isn't required, since
these stanzas make no effort to mark the buffers invalid by resetting
last_returned, cache_blob, etc. That seems to be safe upon examination,
but it's fragile and could easily get broken in future, which wouldn't
get revealed in testing with short-to-moderate-size strings.
Per bug #17584 from James Inform. Whether or not the issue is

Avoid misbehavior when hash_table_bytes < bucket_size.
It's possible to reach this case when work_mem is very small and tupsize
is (relatively) very large. In that case ExecChooseHashTableSize would
get an assertion failure, or with asserts off it'd compute nbuckets = 0,
which'd likely cause misbehavior later (I've not checked). To fix,
clamp the number of buckets to be at least 1.

Catch stack overflow when recursing in transformFromClauseItem().
Most parts of the parser can expect that the stack overflow check
in transformExprRecurse() will trigger before things get desperate.
However, transformFromClauseItem() can recurse directly to self

Fix catalog lookup with the wrong snapshot during logical decoding.
Previously, we relied on HEAP2_NEW_CID records and XACT_INVALIDATION
records to know if the transaction has modified the catalog, and that
information is not serialized to snapshot. Therefore, after the restart,
if the logical decoding decodes only the commit record of the transaction
that has actually modified a catalog, we will miss adding its XID to the
snapshot. Thus, we will end up looking at catalogs with the wrong
snapshot.
To fix this problem, this changes the snapshot builder so that it
remembers the last-running-xacts list of the decoded RUNNING_XACTS record
after restoring the previously serialized snapshot. Then, we mark the
transaction as containing catalog changes if it's in the list of initial
running transactions and its commit record has XACT_XINFO_HAS_INVALS. To
avoid ABI breakage, we store the array of the initial running transactions
in the static variables InitialRunningXacts and NInitialRunningXacts,
instead of storing those in SnapBuild or ReorderBuffer.
This approach has a false positive; we could end up adding the transaction
that didn't change catalog to the snapshot since we cannot distinguish
whether the transaction has catalog changes only by checking the COMMIT
record. It doesn't have the information on which (sub) transaction has
catalog changes, and XACT_XINFO_HAS_INVALS doesn't necessarily indicate
that the transaction has catalog change. But that won't be a problem since
we use snapshot built during decoding only to read system catalogs.
On the master branch, we took a more future-proof approach by writing
catalog modifying transactions to the serialized snapshot which avoids the
above false positive. But we cannot backpatch it because of a change in
the SnapBuild.

In extensions, don't replace objects not belonging to the extension.
Previously, if an extension script did CREATE OR REPLACE and there was
an existing object not belonging to the extension, it would overwrite
the object and adopt it into the extension. This is problematic, first
because the overwrite is probably unintentional, and second because we
didn't change the object's ownership. Thus a hostile user could create
an object in advance of an expected CREATE EXTENSION command, and would
then have ownership rights on an extension object, which could be
modified for trojan-horse-type attacks.
Hence, forbid CREATE OR REPLACE of an existing object unless it already
belongs to the extension. (Note that we've always forbidden replacing

triggers that may be cloned, that is, row-level triggers. This also

recursion to partition triggers would only occur if EnableDisableTrigger()

Be more wary about 32-bit integer overflow in pg_stat_statements.
We've heard a couple of reports of people having trouble with
multi-gigabyte-sized query-texts files. It occurred to me that on
32-bit platforms, there could be an issue with integer overflow
of calculations associated with the total query text size.
Address that with several changes:
1. Limit pg_stat_statements.max to INT_MAX / 2 not INT_MAX.
The hashtable code will bound it to that anyway unless "long"
is 64 bits. We still need overflow guards on its use, but
this helps.
2. Add a check to prevent extending the query-texts file to
more than MaxAllocHugeSize. If it got that big, qtext_load_file
would certainly fail, so there's not much point in allowing it.
Without this, we'd need to consider whether extent, query_offset,
and related variables shouldn't be off_t not size_t.
3. Adjust the comparisons in need_gc_qtexts() to be done in 64-bit
arithmetic on all platforms. It appears possible that under duress
those multiplications could overflow 32 bits, yielding a false
conclusion that we need to garbage-collect the texts file, which
could lead to repeatedly garbage-collecting after every hash table
insertion.
Per report from Bruno da Silva. I'm not convinced that these
issues fully explain his problem; there may be some other bug that's
contributing to the query-texts file becoming so large in the first
place. But it did get that big, so #2 is a reasonable defense,
and #3 could explain the reported performance difficulties.

In transformRowExpr(), check for too many columns in the row.
A RowExpr with more than MaxTupleAttributeNumber columns would fail at
execution anyway, since we cannot form a tuple datum with more than that
many columns. While heap_form_tuple() has a check for too many columns,
it emerges that there are some intermediate bits of code that don't
check and can be driven to failure with sufficiently many columns.
Checking this at parse time seems like the most appropriate place to
install a defense, since we already check SELECT list length there.
While at it, make the SELECT-list-length error use the same errcode
(TOO_MANY_COLUMNS) as heap_form_tuple does, rather than the generic
PROGRAM_LIMIT_EXCEEDED.

Fix replay of create database records on standby
Crash recovery on standby may encounter missing directories
when replaying database-creation WAL records. Prior to this
patch, the standby would fail to recover in such a case;
however, the directories could be legitimately missing.
Consider the following sequence of commands:
CREATE DATABASE
DROP DATABASE
DROP TABLESPACE
If, after replaying the last WAL record and removing the
tablespace directory, the standby crashes and has to replay the
create database record again, crash recovery must be able to continue.
A fix for this problem was already attempted in
49d9cfc68bf4, but it
was reverted because of design issues. This new version is based
on Robert Haas' proposal: any missing tablespaces are created
during recovery before reaching consistency. Tablespaces
are created as real directories, and should be deleted
by later replay. CheckRecoveryConsistency ensures
they have disappeared.
The problems detected by this new code are reported as PANIC,
except when allow_in_place_tablespaces is set to ON, in which
case they are WARNING. Apart from making tests possible, this
gives users an escape hatch in case things don't go as planned.

Force immediate commit after CREATE DATABASE etc in extended protocol.
We have a few commands that "can't run in a transaction block",
meaning that if they complete their processing but then we fail
to COMMIT, we'll be left with inconsistent on-disk state.
However, the existing defenses for this are only watertight for
simple query protocol. In extended protocol, we didn't commit
until receiving a Sync message. Since the client is allowed to
issue another command instead of Sync, we're in trouble if that
command fails or is an explicit ROLLBACK. In any case, sitting
in an inconsistent state while waiting for a client message
that might not come seems pretty risky.
This case wasn't reachable via libpq before we introduced pipeline
mode, but it's always been an intended aspect of extended query
protocol, and likely there are other clients that could reach it
before.
To fix, set a flag in PreventInTransactionBlock that tells
exec_execute_message to force an immediate commit. This seems
to be the approach that does least damage to existing working
cases while still preventing the undesirable outcomes.
While here, add some documentation to protocol.sgml that explicitly
says how to use pipelining. That's latent in the existing docs if
you know what to look for, but it's better to spell it out; and it
provides a place to document this new behavior.

Fix ruleutils issues with dropped cols in functions-returning-composite.
Due to lack of concern for the case in the dependency code, it's
possible to drop a column of a composite type even though stored
queries have references to the dropped column via functions-in-FROM
that return the composite type. There are "soft" references,
namely FROM-clause aliases for such columns, and "hard" references,
that is actual Vars referring to them. The right fix for hard
references is to add dependencies preventing the drop; something
we've known for many years and not done (and this commit still doesn't
address it). A "soft" reference shouldn't prevent a drop though.
We've been around on this before (cf.
9b35ddce9,
2c4debbd0), but
nobody had noticed that the current behavior can result in dump/reload
failures, because ruleutils.c can print more column aliases than the
underlying composite type now has. So we need to rejigger the
column-alias-handling code to treat such columns as dropped and not
print aliases for them.
Rather than writing new code for this, I used expandRTE() which already
knows how to figure out which function result columns are dropped.
I'd initially thought maybe we could use expandRTE() in all cases, but
that fails for EXPLAIN's purposes, because the planner strips a lot of
RTE infrastructure that expandRTE() needs. So this patch just uses it
for unplanned function RTEs and otherwise does things the old way.
If there is a hard reference (Var), then removing the column alias
causes us to fail to print the Var, since there's no longer a name
to print. Failing seems less desirable than printing a made-up
name, so I made it print "?dropped?column?" instead.

Block signals while allocating DSM memory.
On Linux, we call posix_fallocate() on shm_open()'d memory to avoid
later potential SIGBUS (see commit
899bd785).
Based on field reports of systems stuck in an EINTR retry loop there,
there, we made it possible to break out of that loop via slightly odd
coding where the CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() call was somewhat removed from
the loop (see commit
422952ee).
On further reflection, that was not a great choice for at least two
reasons:
1. If interrupts were held, the CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() would do nothing
and the EINTR error would be surfaced to the user.
2. If EINTR was reported but neither QueryCancelPending nor
ProcDiePending was set, then we'd dutifully retry, but with a bit more
understanding of how posix_fallocate() works, it's now clear that you
can get into a loop that never terminates. posix_fallocate() is not a
function that can do some of the job and tell you about progress if it's
interrupted, it has to undo what it's done so far and report EINTR, and
if signals keep arriving faster than it can complete (cf recovery
conflict signals), you're stuck.
Therefore, for now, we'll simply block most signals to guarantee
progress. SIGQUIT is not blocked (see InitPostmasterChild()), because
its expected handler doesn't return, and unblockable signals like
SIGCONT are not expected to arrive at a high rate. For good measure,
we'll include the ftruncate() call in the blocked region, and add a
retry loop.
