Fix catcache invalidation of a list entry that's being built
If a new catalog tuple is inserted that belongs to a catcache list
entry, and cache invalidation happens while the list entry is being
built, the list entry might miss the newly inserted tuple.
To fix, change the way we detect concurrent invalidations while a
catcache entry is being built. Keep a stack of entries that are being
built, and apply cache invalidation to those entries in addition to
the real catcache entries. This is similar to the in-progress list in

Fix handling of orphaned 2PC files in the future at recovery
Before
728bd991c3c4, that has improved the support for 2PC files during
recovery, the initial logic scanning files in pg_twophase was done so as
files in the future of the transaction ID horizon were checked first,
followed by a check if a transaction ID is aborted or committed which
could involve a pg_xact lookup. After this commit, these checks have
been done in reverse order.
Files detected as in the future do not have a state that can be checked
in pg_xact, hence this caused recovery to fail abruptly should an
orphaned 2PC file in the future of the transaction ID horizon exist in
pg_twophase at the beginning of recovery.
A test is added to check for this scenario, using an empty 2PC with a
transaction ID large enough to be in the future when running the test.
This test is added in 16 and older versions for now. 17 and newer
versions are impacted by a second bug caused by the addition of the

Exclude parallel workers from connection privilege/limit checks.
Cause parallel workers to not check datallowconn, rolcanlogin, and
ACL_CONNECT privileges. The leader already checked these things
(except for rolcanlogin which might have been checked for a different
role). Re-checking can accomplish little except to induce unexpected
failures in applications that might not even be aware that their query
has been parallelized. We already had the principle that parallel
workers rely on their leader to pass a valid set of authorization
information, so this change just extends that a bit further.
Also, modify the ReservedConnections, datconnlimit and rolconnlimit
logic so that these limits are only enforced against regular backends,
and only regular backends are counted while checking if the limits
were already reached. Previously, background processes that had an
assigned database or role were subject to these limits (with rather
random exclusions for autovac workers and walsenders), and the set of
existing processes that counted against each limit was quite haphazard
as well. The point of these limits, AFAICS, is to ensure the
availability of PGPROC slots for regular backends. Since all other
types of processes have their own separate pools of PGPROC slots, it
makes no sense either to enforce these limits against them or to count
them while enforcing the limit.
While edge-case failures of these sorts have been possible for a
long time, the problem got a good deal worse with commit
5a2fed911
(CVE-2024-10978), which caused parallel workers to make some of these
checks using the leader's current role where before we had used its
AuthenticatedUserId, thus allowing parallel queries to fail after
SET ROLE. The previous behavior was fairly accidental and I have
no desire to return to it.
This patch includes reverting
73c9f91a1, which was an emergency hack
to suppress these same checks in some cases. It wasn't complete,
as shown by a recent bug report from Laurenz Albe. We can also revert
fd4d93d26 and
492217301, which hacked around the same problems in one

Fix memory leak in pgoutput with publication list cache
The pgoutput module caches publication names in a list and frees it upon
invalidation. However, the code forgot to free the actual publication
names within the list elements, as publication names are pstrdup()'d in
GetPublication(). This would cause memory to leak in
CacheMemoryContext, bloating it over time as this context is not
cleaned.
This is a problem for WAL senders running for a long time, as an
accumulation of invalidation requests would bloat its cache memory
usage. A second case, where this leak is easier to see, involves a
backend calling SQL functions like pg_logical_slot_{get,peek}_changes()
which create a new decoding context with each execution. More
publications create more bloat.
To address this, this commit adds a new memory context within the
logical decoding context and resets it each time the publication names
cache is invalidated, based on a suggestion from Amit Kapila. This
ensures that the lifespan of the publication names aligns with that of
the logical decoding context.
Contrary to the HEAD-only commit
f0c569d71515 that has changed
PGOutputData to track this new child memory context, the context is
tracked with a static variable whose state is reset with a MemoryContext
reset callback attached to PGOutputData->context, so as ABI
compatibility is preserved in stable branches. This approach is based
on an suggestion from Amit Kapila.

Fix corruption when relation truncation fails.
RelationTruncate() does three things, while holding an
AccessExclusiveLock and preventing checkpoints:
1. Logs the truncation.
2. Drops buffers, even if they're dirty.
3. Truncates some number of files.
Step 2 could previously be canceled if it had to wait for I/O, and step
3 could and still can fail in file APIs. All orderings of these
operations have data corruption hazards if interrupted, so we can't give
up until the whole operation is done. When dirty pages were discarded
but the corresponding blocks were left on disk due to ERROR, old page
versions could come back from disk, reviving deleted data (see
pgsql-bugs #18146 and several like it). When primary and standby were
allowed to disagree on relation size, standbys could panic (see
pgsql-bugs #18426) or revive data unknown to visibility management on
the primary (theorized).
Changes:
* WAL is now unconditionally flushed first
* smgrtruncate() is now called in a critical section, preventing
interrupts and causing PANIC on file API failure
* smgrtruncate() has a new parameter for existing fork sizes,
because it can't call smgrnblocks() itself inside a critical section
The changes apply to RelationTruncate(), smgr_redo() and
pg_truncate_visibility_map(). That last is also brought up to date with
other evolutions of the truncation protocol.
The VACUUM FileTruncate() failure mode had been discussed in older
reports than the ones referenced below, with independent analysis from
many people, but earlier theories on how to fix it were too complicated
to back-patch. The more recently invented cancellation bug was
diagnosed by Alexander Lakhin. Other corruption scenarios were spotted

Replace durable_rename_excl() by durable_rename(), take two
durable_rename_excl() attempts to avoid overwriting any existing files
by using link() and unlink(), and it falls back to rename() on some
platforms (aka WIN32), which offers no such overwrite protection. Most
callers use durable_rename_excl() just in case there is an existing
file, but in practice there shouldn't be one (see below for more
details).
Furthermore, failures during durable_rename_excl() can result in
multiple hard links to the same file. As per Nathan's tests, it is
possible to end up with two links to the same file in pg_wal after a
crash just before unlink() during WAL recycling. Specifically, the test
produced links to the same file for the current WAL file and the next
one because the half-recycled WAL file was re-recycled upon restarting,
leading to WAL corruption.
This change replaces all the calls of durable_rename_excl() to
durable_rename(). This removes the protection against accidentally
overwriting an existing file, but some platforms are already living
without it and ordinarily there shouldn't be one. The function itself
is left around in case any extensions are using it. It will be removed
on HEAD via a follow-up commit.
Here is a summary of the existing callers of durable_rename_excl() (see
second discussion link at the bottom), replaced by this commit. First,
basic_archive used it to avoid overwriting an archive concurrently
created by another server, but as mentioned above, it will still
overwrite files on some platforms. Second, xlog.c uses it to recycle
past WAL segments, where an overwrite should not happen (origin of the
change at
f0e37a8) because there are protections about the WAL segment
to select when recycling an entry. The third and last area is related
to the write of timeline history files. writeTimeLineHistory() will
write a new timeline history file at the end of recovery on promotion,
so there should be no such files for the same timeline.
What remains is writeTimeLineHistoryFile(), that can be used in parallel
by a WAL receiver and the startup process, and some digging of the
buildfarm shows that EEXIST from a WAL receiver can happen with an error
of "could not link file \"pg_wal/xlogtemp.NN\" to \"pg_wal/MM.history\",
which would cause an automatic restart of the WAL receiver as it is
promoted to FATAL, hence this should improve the stability of the WAL
receiver as rename() would overwrite an existing TLI history file
already fetched by the startup process at recovery.
This is the second time this change is attempted,
ccfbd92 being the
first one, but this time no assertions are added for the case of a TLI
history file written concurrently by the WAL receiver or the startup
process because we can expect one to exist (some of the TAP tests are
able to trigger with a proper timing).
This commit has been originally applied on v16~ as of
dac1ff30906b, and
we have received more reports of this issue, where clusters can become
corrupted at replay in older stable branches with multiple links
pointing to the same physical WAL segment file. This backpatch
addresses the problem for the v13~v15 range.

Fix Assert failure in WITH RECURSIVE UNION queries
If the non-recursive part of a recursive CTE ended up using
TTSOpsBufferHeapTuple as the table slot type, then a duplicate value
could cause an Assert failure in CheckOpSlotCompatibility() when
checking the hash table for the duplicate value. The expected slot type
for the deform step was TTSOpsMinimalTuple so the Assert failed when the
TTSOpsBufferHeapTuple slot was used.
This is a long-standing bug which we likely didn't notice because it
seems much more likely that the non-recursive term would have required
projection and used a TTSOpsVirtual slot, which CheckOpSlotCompatibility
is ok with.
There doesn't seem to be any harm done here other than the Assert
failure. Both TTSOpsMinimalTuple and TTSOpsBufferHeapTuple slot types
require tuple deformation, so the EEOP_*_FETCHSOME ExprState step would
have properly existed in the ExprState.
The solution is to pass NULL for the ExecBuildGroupingEqual's 'lops'
parameter. This means the ExprState's EEOP_*_FETCHSOME step won't
expect a fixed slot type. This makes CheckOpSlotCompatibility() happy as
no checking is performed when the ExprEvalStep is not expecting a fixed

b965f2617 that set the sequence's dump mask to NONE if the owning
table's mask is NONE. That's insufficient to prevent failures,
because for example the table's mask might only request dumping ACLs,
which would lead us to still emit ALTER TABLE ADD GENERATED even
though we didn't create the table. It seems better to treat an
identity sequence as though it were an inseparable aspect of the
table, matching the treatment used in the backend's dependency logic.
Perhaps this policy needs additional refinement, but let's wait to
see some field use-cases before changing it further.
While here, add a comment in pg_dump.h warning against writing tests
like "if (dobj->dump == DUMP_COMPONENT_NONE)", which was a bug in this
case. There is one other example in getPublicationNamespaces, which
if it's not a bug is at least remarkably unclear and under-documented.
Changing that requires a separate discussion, however.

Improve performance of pgarch_readyXlog() with many status files.
Presently, the archive_status directory was scanned for each file to
archive. When there are many status files, say because archive_command
has been failing for a long time, these directory scans can get very
slow. With this change, the archiver remembers several files to archive
during each directory scan, speeding things up.
To ensure timeline history files are archived as quickly as possible,
XLogArchiveNotify() forces the archiver to do a new directory scan as
soon as the .ready file for one is created.

Fix issues in pgarch's new directory-scanning logic.
The arch_filenames[] array elements were one byte too small, so that
a maximum-length filename would get corrupted if another entry
were made after it. (Noted by Thomas Munro, fix by Nathan Bossart.)
Move these arrays into a palloc'd struct, so that we aren't wasting
a few kilobytes of static data in each non-archiver process.
Add a binaryheap_reset() call to make it plain that we start the
directory scan with an empty heap. I don't think there's any live
bug of that sort, but it seems fragile, and this is very cheap
insurance.

Simplify executor's determination of whether to use parallelism.
Our parallel-mode code only works when we are executing a query
in full, so ExecutePlan must disable parallel mode when it is
asked to do partial execution. The previous logic for this
involved passing down a flag (variously named execute_once or
run_once) from callers of ExecutorRun or PortalRun. This is
overcomplicated, and unsurprisingly some of the callers didn't
get it right, since it requires keeping state that not all of
them have handy; not to mention that the requirements for it were
undocumented. That led to assertion failures in some corner
cases. The only state we really need for this is the existing
QueryDesc.already_executed flag, so let's just put all the
responsibility in ExecutePlan. (It could have been done in
ExecutorRun too, leading to a slightly shorter patch -- but if
there's ever more than one caller of ExecutePlan, it seems better
to have this logic in the subroutine than the callers.)
This makes those ExecutorRun/PortalRun parameters unnecessary.
In master it seems okay to just remove them, returning the
API for those functions to what it was before parallelism.
Such an API break is clearly not okay in stable branches,
but for them we can just leave the parameters in place after
documenting that they do nothing.

Ensure that pg_amop/amproc entries depend on their lefttype/righttype.
Usually an entry in pg_amop or pg_amproc does not need a dependency on
its amoplefttype/amoprighttype/amproclefttype/amprocrighttype types,
because there is an indirect dependency via the argument types of its
referenced operator or procedure, or via the opclass it belongs to.
However, for some support procedures in some index AMs, the argument
types of the support procedure might not mention the column data type
at all. Also, the amop/amproc entry might be treated as "loose" in
the opfamily, in which case it lacks a dependency on any particular
opclass; or it might be a cross-type entry having a reference to a
datatype that is not its opclass' opcintype.
The upshot of all this is that there are cases where a datatype can
be dropped while leaving behind amop/amproc entries that mention it,
because there is no path in pg_depend showing that those entries
depend on that type. Such entries are harmless in normal activity,
because they won't get used, but they cause problems for maintenance
actions such as dropping the operator family. They also cause pg_dump
to produce bogus output. The previous commit put a band-aid on the
DROP OPERATOR FAMILY failure, but a real fix is needed.
To fix, add pg_depend entries showing that a pg_amop/pg_amproc entry
depends on its lefttype/righttype. To avoid bloating pg_depend too
much, skip this if the referenced operator or function has that type
as an input type. (I did not bother with considering the possible
indirect dependency via the opclass' opcintype; at least in the
reported case, that wouldn't help anyway.)
Probably, the reason this has escaped notice for so long is that
add-on datatypes and relevant opclasses/opfamilies are usually
packaged as extensions nowadays, so that there's no way to drop
a type without dropping the referencing opclasses/opfamilies too.
Still, in the absence of pg_depend entries there's nothing that
constrains DROP EXTENSION to drop the opfamily entries before the
datatype, so it seems possible for a DROP failure to occur anyway.
The specific case that was reported doesn't fail in v13, because
v13 prefers to attach the support procedure to the opclass not the
opfamily. But it's surely possible to construct other edge cases
that do fail in v13, so patch that too.

Make getObjectDescription robust against dangling amproc type links.
Yoran Heling reported a case where a data type could be dropped
while references to its OID remain behind in pg_amproc. This
causes getObjectDescription to fail, which blocks dropping the
operator family (since our DROP code likes to construct descriptions
of everything it's dropping). The proper fix for this requires
adding more pg_depend entries. But to allow DROP to go through with
already-corrupt catalogs, tweak getObjectDescription to print "???"

Fix broken list-munging in ecpg's remove_variables().
The loops over cursor argument variables neglected to ever advance
"prevvar". The code would accidentally do the right thing anyway
when removing the first or second list entry, but if it had to
remove the third or later entry then it would also remove all
entries between there and the first entry. AFAICS this would
only matter for cursors that reference out-of-scope variables,
which is a weird Informix compatibility hack; between that and
the lack of impact for short lists, it's not so surprising that
nobody has complained. Nonetheless it's a pretty obvious bug.
It would have been more obvious if these loops used a more standard
coding style for chasing the linked lists --- this business with the
"prev" pointer sometimes pointing at the current list entry is
confusing and overcomplicated. So rather than just add a minimal
band-aid, I chose to rewrite the loops in the same style we use
elsewhere, where the "prev" pointer is NULL until we are dealing with
a non-first entry and we save the "next" pointer at the top of the
loop. (Two of the four loops touched here are not actually buggy,
but it seems better to make them all look alike.)
Coverity discovered this problem, but not until

Handle better implicit transaction state of pipeline mode
When using a pipeline, a transaction starts from the first command and
is committed with a Sync message or when the pipeline ends.
Functions like IsInTransactionBlock() or PreventInTransactionBlock()
were already able to understand a pipeline as being in a transaction
block, but it was not the case of CheckTransactionBlock(). This
function is called for example to generate a WARNING for SET LOCAL,
complaining that it is used outside of a transaction block.
The current state of the code caused multiple problems, like:
- SET LOCAL executed at any stage of a pipeline issued a WARNING, even
if the command was at least second in line where the pipeline is in a
transaction state.
- LOCK TABLE failed when invoked at any step of a pipeline, even if it
should be able to work within a transaction block.
The pipeline protocol assumes that the first command of a pipeline is
not part of a transaction block, and that any follow-up commands is
considered as within a transaction block.
This commit changes the backend so as an implicit transaction block is
started each time the first Execute message of a pipeline has finished
processing, with this implicit transaction block ended once a sync is
processed. The checks based on XACT_FLAGS_PIPELINING in the routines
checking if we are in a transaction block are not necessary: it is
enough to rely on the existing ones.
Some tests are added to pgbench, that can be backpatched down to v17
when \syncpipeline is involved and down to v14 where \startpipeline and
\endpipeline are available. This is unfortunately limited regarding the
error patterns that can be checked, but it provides coverage for various
pipeline combinations to check if these succeed or fail. These tests
are able to capture the case of SET LOCAL's WARNING. The author has
proposed a different feature to improve the coverage by adding similar
meta-commands to psql where error messages could be checked, something
more useful for the cases where commands cannot be used in transaction
blocks, like REINDEX CONCURRENTLY or VACUUM. This is considered as
future work for v18~.

Update configure probes for CFLAGS needed for ARM CRC instructions.
On ARM platforms where the baseline CPU target lacks CRC instructions,

such instructions. It turns out that our existing choice of
"-march=armv8-a+crc" has not worked for some time, because recent gcc
will interpret that as selecting software floating point, and then
will spit up if the platform requires hard-float ABI, as most do
nowadays. The end result was to silently fall back to software CRC,
which isn't very desirable since in practice almost all currently
produced ARM chips do have hardware CRC.
We can fix this by using "-march=armv8-a+crc+simd" to enable the
correct ABI choice. (This has no impact on the code actually

jit: Use -mno-outline-atomics for bitcode on ARM.
If the executable's .o files were produced by a compiler (probably gcc)
not using -moutline-atomics, and the corresponding .bc files were
produced by clang using -moutline-atomics (probably by default), then
the generated bitcode functions would have the target attribute
"+outline-atomics", and could fail at runtime when inlined. If the
target ISA at bitcode generation time was armv8-a (the most conservative
aarch64 target, no LSE), then LLVM IR atomic instructions would generate
calls to functions in libgcc.a or libclang_rt.*.a that switch between
LL/SC and faster LSE instructions depending on a runtime AT_HWCAP check.
Since the corresponding .o files didn't need those functions, they
wouldn't have been included in the executable, and resolution would
fail.
At least Debian and Ubuntu are known to ship gcc and clang compilers
that target armv8-a but differ on the use of outline atomics by default.
Fix, by suppressing the outline atomics attribute in bitcode explicitly.
Inline LL/SC instructions will be generated for atomic operations in
bitcode built for armv8-a. Only configure scripts are adjusted for now,
because the meson build system doesn't generate bitcode yet.
This doesn't seem to be a new phenomenon, so real cases of functions
using atomics that are inlined by JIT must be rare in the wild given how
long it took for a bug report to arrive. The reported case could be
reduced to:
postgres=# set jit_inline_above_cost = 0;
SET
postgres=# set jit_above_cost = 0;
SET
postgres=# select pg_last_wal_receive_lsn();
WARNING: failed to resolve name __aarch64_swp4_acq_rel
FATAL: fatal llvm error: Program used external function
'__aarch64_swp4_acq_rel' which could not be resolved!

Fix recently-exposed portability issue in regex optimization.
fixempties() counts the number of in-arcs in the regex NFA and then
allocates an array of that many arc pointers. If the NFA contains no
arcs, this amounts to malloc(0) for which some platforms return NULL.
The code mistakenly treats that as indicating out-of-memory. Thus,
we can get a bogus "out of memory" failure for some unsatisfiable
regexes.
This happens only in v15 and earlier, since
bea3d7e38 switched to
using palloc() rather than bare malloc(). And at least of the
platforms in the buildfarm, only AIX seems to return NULL. So the
impact is pretty narrow. But I don't especially want to ship code
that is failing its own regression tests, so let's fix this for
this week's releases.
A quick code survey says that there is only the one place in
src/backend/regex/ that is at risk of doing malloc(0), so we'll just
band-aid that place. A more future-proof fix could be to install a
malloc() wrapper similar to pg_malloc(). But this code seems unlikely
to change much more in the affected branches, so that's probably
overkill.
The only known test case for this involves a complemented character
class in a bracket expression, for example [^\s\S], and we didn't
support that in v13. So it may be that the problem is unreachable
in v13. But I'm not 100% sure of that, so patch v13 too.

Undo unintentional ABI break in struct ResultRelInfo.
Commits
aac2c9b4f et al. added a bool field to struct ResultRelInfo.
That's no problem in the master branch, but in released branches
care must be taken when modifying publicly-visible structs to avoid
an ABI break for extensions. Frequently we solve that by adding the
new field at the end of the struct, and that's what was done here.
But ResultRelInfo has stricter constraints than just about any other
node type in Postgres. Some executor APIs require extensions to index
into arrays of ResultRelInfo, which means that any change whatever in
sizeof(ResultRelInfo) causes a fatal ABI break.
Fortunately, this is easy to fix, because the new field can be
squeezed into available padding space instead --- indeed, that's where
it was put in master, so this fix also removes a cross-branch coding
variation.
Per report from Pavan Deolasee. Patch v14-v17 only; earlier versions
did not gain the extra field, nor is there any problem in master.

Fix a possibility of logical replication slot's restart_lsn going backwards.
Previously LogicalIncreaseRestartDecodingForSlot() accidentally
accepted any LSN as the candidate_lsn and candidate_valid after the
restart_lsn of the replication slot was updated, so it potentially
caused the restart_lsn to move backwards.
A scenario where this could happen in logical replication is: after a
logical replication restart, based on previous candidate_lsn and
candidate_valid values in memory, the restart_lsn advances upon
receiving a subscriber acknowledgment. Then, logical decoding restarts
from an older point, setting candidate_lsn and candidate_valid based
on an old RUNNING_XACTS record. Subsequent subscriber acknowledgments
then update the restart_lsn to an LSN older than the current value.
In the reported case, after WAL files were removed by a checkpoint,
the retreated restart_lsn prevented logical replication from
restarting due to missing WAL segments.
This change essentially modifies the 'if' condition to 'else if'
condition within the function. The previous code had an asymmetry in
this regard compared to LogicalIncreaseXminForSlot(), which does
almost the same thing for different fields.
The WAL removal issue was reported by Hubert Depesz Lubaczewski.

Avoid assertion due to disconnected NFA sub-graphs in regex parsing.
In commit
08c0d6ad6 which introduced "rainbow" arcs in regex NFAs,
I didn't think terribly hard about what to do when creating the color
complement of a rainbow arc. Clearly, the complement cannot match any
characters, and I took the easy way out by just not building any arcs
at all in the complement arc set. That mostly works, but Nikolay
Shaplov found a case where it doesn't: if we decide to delete that
sub-NFA later because it's inside a "{0}" quantifier, delsub()
suffered an assertion failure. That's because delsub() relies on
the target sub-NFA being fully connected. That was always true
before, and the best fix seems to be to restore that property.
Hence, invent a new arc type CANTMATCH that can be generated in
place of an empty color complement, and drop it again later when we
start NFA optimization. (At that point we don't need to do delsub()
any more, and besides there are other cases where NFA optimization can
lead to disconnected subgraphs.)
It appears that this bug has no consequences in a non-assert-enabled
build: there will be some transiently leaked NFA states/arcs, but
they'll get cleaned up eventually. Still, we don't like assertion
failures, so back-patch to v14 where rainbow arcs were introduced.

Avoid deleting critical WAL segments during pg_rewind
Previously, in unlucky cases, it was possible for pg_rewind to remove
certain WAL segments from the rewound demoted primary. In particular
this happens if those files have been marked for archival (i.e., their
.ready files were created) but not yet archived; the newly promoted node
no longer has such files because of them having been recycled, but they
are likely critical for recovery in the demoted node. If pg_rewind
removes them, recovery is not possible anymore.
Fix this by maintaining a hash table of files in this situation in the
scan that looks for a checkpoint, which the decide_file_actions phase
can consult so that it knows to preserve them.

Fix improper interactions between session_authorization and role.
The SQL spec mandates that SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION implies
SET ROLE NONE. We tried to implement that within the lowest-level
functions that manipulate these settings, but that was a bad idea.
In particular, guc.c assumes that it doesn't matter in what order
it applies GUC variable updates, but that was not the case for these
two variables. This problem, compounded by some hackish attempts to
work around it, led to some security-grade issues:
* Rolling back a transaction that had done SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION
would revert to SET ROLE NONE, even if that had not been the previous
state, so that the effective user ID might now be different from what
it had been.
* The same for SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION in a function SET clause.
* If a parallel worker inspected current_setting('role'), it saw
"none" even when it should see something else.
Also, although the parallel worker startup code intended to cope
with the current role's pg_authid row having disappeared, its
implementation of that was incomplete so it would still fail.
Fix by fully separating the miscinit.c functions that assign
session_authorization from those that assign role. To implement the
spec's requirement, teach set_config_option itself to perform "SET
ROLE NONE" when it sets session_authorization. (This is undoubtedly
ugly, but the alternatives seem worse. In particular, there's no way
to do it within assign_session_authorization without incompatible
changes in the API for GUC assign hooks.) Also, improve
ParallelWorkerMain to directly set all the relevant user-ID variables
instead of relying on some of them to get set indirectly. That
allows us to survive not finding the pg_authid row during worker
startup.
In v16 and earlier, this includes back-patching

A failure with the SSL negotiation now leads to an error immediately

to a plaintext connection.
A failure with GSS discards the error message received, and we allow a
fallback as it may be possible that the error is caused by a connection

would produce results that differ from those without partitionwise
grouping, so disallowed that.
Partial partitionwise aggregation is still allowed, as the Finalize
step reconciles partition-level aggregates with grouping requirements
across all partitions, ensuring that the final output remains
consistent.
This commit also fixes group_by_has_partkey() by ensuring the
RelabelType node is stripped from grouping expressions when matching
them to partition key expressions to avoid false mismatches.

Replace pgwin32_is_junction() with lstat().
Now that lstat() reports junction points with S_IFLNK/S_ISLINK(), and
unlink() can unlink them, there is no need for conditional code for
Windows in a few places. That was expressed by testing for WIN32 or
S_ISLNK, which we can now constant-fold.
The coding around pgwin32_is_junction() was a bit suspect anyway, as we
never checked for errors, and we also know that errors can be spuriously
reported because of transient sharing violations on this OS. The
lstat()-based code has handling for that.
This also reverts
4fc6b6ee on master only. That was done because
lstat() didn't previously work for symlinks (junction points), but now
it does.

Fix lstat() for broken junction points on Windows.
When using junction points to emulate symlinks on Windows, one edge case
was not handled correctly by commit
c5cb8f3b: if a junction point is
broken (pointing to a non-existent path), we'd report ENOENT. This
doesn't break any known use case, but was noticed while developing a
test suite for these functions and is fixed here for completeness.
Also add translation ERROR_CANT_RESOLVE_FILENAME -> ENOENT, as that is
one of the errors Windows can report for some kinds of broken paths.

Check for STATUS_DELETE_PENDING on Windows.
1. Update our open() wrapper to check for NT's STATUS_DELETE_PENDING
and translate it to Unix-like errors. This is done with
RtlGetLastNtStatus(), which is dynamically loaded from ntdll. A new
file win32ntdll.c centralizes lookup of NT functions, in case we decide
to add more in the future.
2. Remove non-working code that was trying to do something similar for
stat(), and just reuse the open() wrapper code. As a side effect,
stat() also gains resilience against "sharing violation" errors.
3. Since stat() is used very early in process startup, remove the
requirement that the Win32 signal event has been created before
pgwin32_open_handle() is reached. Instead, teach pg_usleep() to fall
back to a non-interruptible sleep if reached before the signal event is
available.
This could be back-patched, but for now it's in master only. The
problem has apparently been with us for a long time and generated only a
few complaints. Proposed patches trigger it more often, which led to
this investigation and fix.

Monkey-patch LLVM code to fix ARM relocation bug.
Supply a new memory manager for RuntimeDyld, to avoid crashes in
generated code caused by memory placement that can overflow a 32 bit
data type. This is a drop-in replacement for the
llvm::SectionMemoryManager class in the LLVM library, with Michael
Smith's proposed fix from
https://www.github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/71968.
We hereby slurp it into our own source tree, after moving into a new
namespace llvm::backport and making some minor adjustments so that it
can be compiled with older LLVM versions as far back as 12. It's harder
to make it work on even older LLVM versions, but it doesn't seem likely
that people are really using them so that is not investigated for now.
The problem could also be addressed by switching to JITLink instead of
RuntimeDyld, and that is the LLVM project's recommended solution as
the latter is about to be deprecated. We'll have to do that soon enough
anyway, and then when the LLVM version support window advances far
enough in a few years we'll be able to delete this code. Unfortunately
that wouldn't be enough for PostgreSQL today: in most relevant versions
of LLVM, JITLink is missing or incomplete.
Several other projects have already back-ported this fix into their fork
of LLVM, which is a vote of confidence despite the lack of commit into
LLVM as of today. We don't have our own copy of LLVM so we can't do
exactly what they've done; instead we have a copy of the whole patched
class so we can pass an instance of it to RuntimeDyld.
The LLVM project hasn't chosen to commit the fix yet, and even if it
did, it wouldn't be back-ported into the releases of LLVM that most of
our users care about, so there is not much point in waiting any longer
for that. If they make further changes and commit it to LLVM 19 or 20,
we'll still need this for older versions, but we may want to
resynchronize our copy and update some comments.
The changes that we've had to make to our copy can be seen by diffing
our SectionMemoryManager.{h,cpp} files against the ones in the tree of
the pull request. Per the LLVM project's license requirements, a copy
is in SectionMemoryManager.LICENSE.
This should fix the spate of crash reports we've been receiving lately
from users on large memory ARM systems.
