Remove PHOT from our default timezone abbreviations list.
Debian recently decided to split out a bunch of "obsolete" timezone
names into a new tzdata-legacy package, which isn't installed by
default. One of these zone names is Pacific/Enderbury, and that
breaks our regression tests (on --with-system-tzdata builds)
because our default timezone abbreviations list defines PHOT as
Pacific/Enderbury.
Pacific/Enderbury got renamed to Pacific/Kanton in tzdata 2021b,
so that in distros that still have this entry it's just a symlink
to Pacific/Kanton anyway. So one answer would be to redefine PHOT
as Pacific/Kanton. However, then things would fail if the
installed tzdata predates 2021b, which is recent enough that that
seems like a real problem.
Instead, let's just remove PHOT from the default list. That seems
likely to affect nobody in the real world, because (a) it was an
abbreviation that the tzdb crew made up in the first place, with
no evidence of real-world usage, and (b) the total human population
of the Phoenix Islands is less than two dozen persons, per Wikipedia.
If anyone does use this zone abbreviation they can easily put it back
via a custom abbreviations file.
We'll keep PHOT in the Pacific.txt reference file, but change it
to Pacific/Kanton there, as that definition seems more likely to
be useful to future readers of that file.

Doc: remove misleading info about ecpg's CONNECT/DISCONNECT DEFAULT.
As far as I can see, ecpg has no notion of a "default" open
connection. You can do "CONNECT TO DEFAULT" but that just specifies
letting libpq use all its default connection parameters --- the
resulting connection is not special subsequently. In particular,
SET CONNECTION = DEFAULT and DISCONNECT DEFAULT simply act on a
connection named DEFAULT, if you've made one; they do not have
special lookup rules. But the documentation of these commands
makes it look like they do.
Simplest fix, I think, is just to remove the paras suggesting that
DEFAULT is special here.
Also, SET CONNECTION *does* have one special lookup rule, which
is that it recognizes CURRENT as an alias for the currently selected
connection. SET CONNECTION = CURRENT is a no-op, so it's pretty
useless, but nonetheless it does something different from selecting
a connection by name; so we'd better document it.

Avoid calling proc_exit() in processes forked by system().
The SIGTERM handler for the startup process immediately calls
proc_exit() for the duration of the restore_command, i.e., a call
to system(). This system() call forks a new process to execute the
shell command, and this child process inherits the parent's signal
handlers. If both the parent and child processes receive SIGTERM,
both will attempt to call proc_exit(). This can end badly. For
example, both processes will try to remove themselves from the
PGPROC shared array.
To fix this problem, this commit adds a check in
StartupProcShutdownHandler() to see whether MyProcPid == getpid().
If they match, this is the parent process, and we can proc_exit()
like before. If they do not match, this is a child process, and we
just emit a message to STDERR (in a signal safe manner) and
_exit(), thereby skipping any problematic exit callbacks.

Try to handle torn reads of pg_control in frontend.
Some of our src/bin tools read the control file without any kind of
interlocking against concurrent writes from the server. At least ext4
and ntfs can expose partially modified contents when you do that.
For now, we'll try to tolerate this by retrying up to 10 times if the
checksum doesn't match, until we get two reads in a row with the same
bad checksum. This is not guaranteed to reach the right conclusion, but
it seems very likely to. Thanks to Tom Lane for this suggestion.
Various ideas for interlocking or atomicity were considered too
complicated, unportable or expensive given the lack of field reports,
but remain open for future reconsideration.

Fix incorrect step generation in HASH partition pruning
get_steps_using_prefix_recurse() incorrectly assumed that it could stop
recursive processing of the 'prefix' list when cur_keyno was one before
the step_lastkeyno. Since hash partition pruning can prune using IS
NULL quals, and these IS NULL quals are not present in the 'prefix'
list, then that logic could cause more levels of recursion than what is
needed and lead to there being no more items in the 'prefix' list to
process. This would manifest itself as a crash in some code that
expected the 'start' ListCell not to be NULL.
Here we adjust the logic so that instead of stopping recursion at 1 key
before the step_lastkeyno, we just look at the llast(prefix) item and
ensure we only recursively process up until just before whichever the last
key is. This effectively allows keys to be missing in the 'prefix' list.
This change does mean that step_lastkeyno is no longer needed, so we
remove that from the static functions. I also spent quite some time
reading this code and testing it to try to convince myself that there
are no other issues. That resulted in the irresistible temptation of
rewriting some comments, many of which were just not true or inconcise.

Fail hard on out-of-memory failures in xlogreader.c
This commit changes the WAL reader routines so as a FATAL for the
backend or exit(FAILURE) for the frontend is triggered if an allocation
for a WAL record decode fails in walreader.c, rather than treating this
case as bogus data, which would be equivalent to the end of WAL. The
key is to avoid palloc_extended(MCXT_ALLOC_NO_OOM) in walreader.c,
relying on plain palloc() calls.
The previous behavior could make WAL replay finish too early than it
should. For example, crash recovery finishing earlier may corrupt
clusters because not all the WAL available locally was replayed to
ensure a consistent state. Out-of-memory failures would show up
randomly depending on the memory pressure on the host, but one simple
case would be to generate a large record, then replay this record after
downsizing a host, as Ethan Mertz originally reported.
This relies on
bae868caf222, as the WAL reader routines now do the
memory allocation required for a record only once its header has been
fully read and validated, making xl_tot_len trustable. Making the WAL
reader react differently on out-of-memory or bogus record data would
require ABI changes, so this is the safest choice for stable branches.
Also, it is worth noting that
3f1ce973467a has been using a plain
palloc() in this code for some time now.

Fix omission of column-level privileges in selective pg_restore.
In a selective restore, ACLs for a table should be dumped if the

restored. This happened because _tocEntryRequired assumed that
an ACL could have only one dependency (the one on its table),

column-level ACLs also depend on the table-level ACL if any, to

Fix datalen calculation in tsvectorrecv().
After receiving position data for a lexeme, tsvectorrecv()
advanced its "datalen" value by (npos+1)*sizeof(WordEntry)
where the correct calculation is (npos+1)*sizeof(WordEntryPos).
This accidentally failed to render the constructed tsvector
invalid, but it did result in leaving some wasted space
approximately equal to the space consumed by the position data.
That could have several bad effects:
* Disk space is wasted if the received tsvector is stored into a
table as-is.
* A legal tsvector could get rejected with "maximum total lexeme
length exceeded" if the extra space pushes it over the MAXSTRPOS
limit.
* In edge cases, the finished tsvector could be assigned a length
larger than the allocated size of its palloc chunk, conceivably
leading to SIGSEGV when the tsvector gets copied somewhere else.
The odds of a field failure of this sort seem low, though valgrind
testing could probably have found this.
While we're here, let's express the calculation as
"sizeof(uint16) + npos * sizeof(WordEntryPos)" to avoid the type
pun implicit in the "npos + 1" formulation. It's not wrong
given that WordEntryPos had better be 2 bytes to avoid padding
problems, but it seems clearer this way.

Suppress macOS warnings about duplicate libraries in link commands.
As of Xcode 15 (macOS Sonoma), the linker complains about duplicate
references to the same library. We see warnings about libpgport and
libpgcommon being duplicated in many client executables. This is a
consequence of the hack introduced in commit
6b7ef076b to list
libpgport before libpq while not removing it from $(LIBS).
(Commit
8396447cd later applied the same rule to libpgcommon.)
The concern in
6b7ef076b was to ensure that the client executable
wouldn't unintentionally depend on pgport functions from libpq.
That concern is obsolete on any platform for which we can do symbol
export control, because if we can then the pgport functions in libpq
won't be exposed anyway. Hence, we can fix this problem by just
removing libpgport and libpgcommon from $(libpq_pgport), and letting
clients depend on the occurrences in $(LIBS).
In the back branches, do that only on macOS (which we know has
symbol export control). In HEAD, let's be more aggressive and
remove the extra libraries everywhere. The only still-supported
platforms that lack export control are MinGW/Cygwin, and it
doesn't seem worth sweating over ABI stability details for those
(or if somebody does care, it'd probably be possible to perform
symbol export control for those too). As well as being simpler,
this might give some microscopic improvement in build time.

that we'll fix separately.

Fix btmarkpos/btrestrpos array key wraparound bug.
nbtree's mark/restore processing failed to correctly handle an edge case
involving array key advancement and related search-type scan key state.
Scans with ScalarArrayScalarArrayOpExpr quals requiring mark/restore
processing (for a merge join) could incorrectly conclude that an
affected array/scan key must not have advanced during the time between
marking and restoring the scan's position.
As a result of all this, array key handling within btrestrpos could skip
a required call to _bt_preprocess_keys(). This confusion allowed later
primitive index scans to overlook tuples matching the true current array
keys. The scan's search-type scan keys would still have spurious values
corresponding to the final array element(s) -- not values matching the
first/now-current array element(s).
To fix, remember that "array key wraparound" has taken place during the
ongoing btrescan in a flag variable stored in the scan's state, and use
that information at the point where btrestrpos decides if another call
to _bt_preprocess_keys is required.

Fix another bug in parent page splitting during GiST index build.
Yet another bug in the ilk of commits
a7ee7c851 and
741b88435. In
741b88435, we took care to clear the memorized location of the
downlink when we split the parent page, because splitting the parent
page can move the downlink. But we missed that even *updating* a tuple
on the parent can move it, because updating a tuple on a gist page is
implemented as a delete+insert, so the updated tuple gets moved to the
end of the page.
This commit fixes the bug in two different ways (belt and suspenders):
1. Clear the downlink when we update a tuple on the parent page, even
if it's not split. This the same approach as in commits
a7ee7c851
and
741b88435.
I also noticed that gistFindCorrectParent did not clear the
'downlinkoffnum' when it stepped to the right sibling. Fix that
too, as it seems like a clear bug even though I haven't been able
to find a test case to hit that.
2. Change gistFindCorrectParent so that it treats 'downlinkoffnum'
merely as a hint. It now always first checks if the downlink is
still at that location, and if not, it scans the page like before.
That's more robust if there are still more cases where we fail to
clear 'downlinkoffnum' that we haven't yet uncovered. With this,
it's no longer necessary to meticulously clear 'downlinkoffnum',
so this makes the previous fixes unnecessary, but I didn't revert
them because it still seems nice to clear it when we know that the
downlink has moved.
Also add the test case using the same test data that Alexander
posted. I tried to reduce it to a smaller test, and I also tried to
reproduce this with different test data, but I was not able to, so
let's just include what we have.
Backpatch to v12, like the previous fixes.

Collect dependency information for parsed CallStmts.
Parse analysis of a CallStmt will inject mutable information,
for instance the OID of the called procedure, so that subsequent
DDL may create a need to re-parse the CALL. We failed to detect
this for CALLs in plpgsql routines, because no dependency information
was collected when putting a CallStmt into the plan cache. That
could lead to misbehavior or strange errors such as "cache lookup
failed".
Before commit
ee895a655, the issue would only manifest for CALLs
appearing in atomic contexts, because we re-planned non-atomic
CALLs every time through anyway.
It is now apparent that extract_query_dependencies() probably
needs a special case for every utility statement type for which
stmt_requires_parse_analysis() returns true. I wanted to add
something like Assert(!stmt_requires_parse_analysis(...)) when
falling out of extract_query_dependencies_walker without doing

Don't trust unvalidated xl_tot_len.
xl_tot_len comes first in a WAL record. Usually we don't trust it to be
the true length until we've validated the record header. If the record
header was split across two pages, previously we wouldn't do the
validation until after we'd already tried to allocate enough memory to
hold the record, which was bad because it might actually be garbage
bytes from a recycled WAL file, so we could try to allocate a lot of
memory. Release 15 made it worse.
Since
70b4f82a4b5, we'd at least generate an end-of-WAL condition if the
garbage 4 byte value happened to be > 1GB, but we'd still try to
allocate up to 1GB of memory bogusly otherwise. That was an
improvement, but unfortunately release 15 tries to allocate another
object before that, so you could get a FATAL error and recovery could
fail.
We can fix both variants of the problem more fundamentally using
pre-existing page-level validation, if we just re-order some logic.
The new order of operations in the split-header case defers all memory
allocation based on xl_tot_len until we've read the following page. At
that point we know that its first few bytes are not recycled data, by
checking its xlp_pageaddr, and that its xlp_rem_len agrees with
xl_tot_len on the preceding page. That is strong evidence that
xl_tot_len was truly the start of a record that was logged.
This problem was most likely to occur on a standby, because
walreceiver.c recycles WAL files without zeroing out trailing regions of
each page. We could fix that too, but it wouldn't protect us from rare
crash scenarios where the trailing zeroes don't make it to disk.
With reliable xl_tot_len validation in place, the ancient policy of
considering malloc failure to indicate corruption at end-of-WAL seems
quite surprising, but changing that is left for later work.
Also included is a new TAP test to exercise various cases of end-of-WAL
detection by writing contrived data into the WAL from Perl.

Fix COMMIT/ROLLBACK AND CHAIN in the presence of subtransactions.
In older branches, COMMIT/ROLLBACK AND CHAIN failed to propagate
the current transaction's properties to the new transaction if
there was any open subtransaction (unreleased savepoint).
Instead, some previous transaction's properties would be restored.
This is because the "if (s->chain)" check in CommitTransactionCommand
examined the wrong instance of the "chain" flag and falsely
concluded that it didn't need to save transaction properties.
Our regression tests would have noticed this, except they used
identical transaction properties for multiple tests in a row,
so that the faulty behavior was not distinguishable from correct
behavior.
Commit
12d768e70 fixed the problem in v15 and later, but only rather

Make recovery report error message when invalid page header is found.
Commit
0668719801 changed XLogPageRead() so that it validated the page
header, if invalid page header was found reset the error message and
retried reading the page, to fix the scenario where streaming standby
got stuck at a continuation record. This change hid the error message
about invalid page header, which would make it harder for users to
investigate what the actual issue was found in WAL.
To fix the issue, this commit makes XLogPageRead() report the error
message when invalid page header is found.
When not in standby mode, an invalid page header should cause recovery
to end, not retry reading the page, so XLogPageRead() doesn't need to
validate the page header for the retry. Instead, ReadPageInternal() should
be responsible for the validation in that case. Therefore this commit
changes XLogPageRead() so that if not in standby mode it doesn't validate
the page header for the retry.

Initialize ListenSocket array earlier.
After commit
b0bea38705, syslogger prints 63 warnings about failing to
close a listen socket at postmaster startup. That's because the
syslogger process forks before the ListenSockets array is initialized,
so ClosePostmasterPorts() calls "close(0)" 64 times. The first call
succeeds, because fd 0 is stdin.
This has been like this since commit
9a86f03b4e in version 13, which
moved the SysLogger_Start() call to before initializing ListenSockets.
We just didn't notice until commit
b0bea38705 added the LOG message.

Avoid unnecessary plancache revalidation of utility statements.
Revalidation of a plancache entry (after a cache invalidation event)
requires acquiring a snapshot. Normally that is harmless, but not
if the cached statement is one that needs to run without acquiring a
snapshot. We were already aware of that for TransactionStmts,
but for some reason hadn't extrapolated to the other statements that
PlannedStmtRequiresSnapshot() knows mustn't set a snapshot. This can
lead to unexpected failures of commands such as SET TRANSACTION
ISOLATION LEVEL. We can fix it in the same way, by excluding those
command types from revalidation.
However, we can do even better than that: there is no need to
revalidate for any statement type for which parse analysis, rewrite,
and plan steps do nothing interesting, which is nearly all utility
commands. To mechanize this, invent a parser function
stmt_requires_parse_analysis() that tells whether parse analysis does
anything beyond wrapping a CMD_UTILITY Query around the raw parse
tree. If that's what it does, then rewrite and plan will just
skip the Query, so that it is not possible for the same raw parse
tree to produce a different plan tree after cache invalidation.
stmt_requires_parse_analysis() is basically equivalent to the
existing function analyze_requires_snapshot(), except that for
obscure reasons that function omits ReturnStmt and CallStmt.
It is unclear whether those were oversights or intentional.
I have not been able to demonstrate a bug from not acquiring a
snapshot while analyzing these commands, but at best it seems mighty
fragile. It seems safer to acquire a snapshot for parse analysis of
these commands too, which allows making stmt_requires_parse_analysis
and analyze_requires_snapshot equivalent.
In passing this fixes a second bug, which is that ResetPlanCache
would exclude ReturnStmts and CallStmts from revalidation.
That's surely *not* safe, since they contain parsable expressions.
Per bug #18059 from Pavel Kulakov. Back-patch to all supported
branches.

doc: Replace list of drivers and PLs with wiki link
The list of external language drivers and procedural languages was
never complete or exhaustive, and rather than attempting to manage
it the content has migrated to the wiki. This replaces the tables
altogether with links to the wiki as we regularly get requests for
adding various projects, which we reject without any clear policy
for why or how the content should be managed.
The threads linked to below are the most recent discussions about
this, the archives contain many more.
Backpatch to all supported branches since the list on the wiki
applies to all branches.

Cache by-reference missing values in a long lived context
Attribute missing values might be needed past the lifetime of the tuple
descriptors from which they are extracted. To avoid possibly using
pointers for by-reference values which might thus be left dangling, we
cache a datumCopy'd version of the datum in the TopMemoryContext. Since
we first search for the value this only needs to be done once per
session for any such value.
Original complaint from Tom Lane, idea for mitigation by Andrew Dunstan,
tweaked by Tom Lane.
Backpatch to version 11 where missing values were introduced.

Remove test from commit
fa2e874946.
The fix itself is fine, but the test revealed other problems related
to parallel query that are not easily fixable. Remove the test for
now to fix the buildfarm.
