Allow non-quoted identifiers as isolation test session/step names.
For no obvious reason, isolationtester has always insisted that

SQL-like identifiers not only double-quoted strings.

Use annotations to reduce instability of isolation-test results.
We've long contended with isolation test results that aren't entirely
stable. Some test scripts insert long delays to try to force stable
results, which is not terribly desirable; but other erratic failure
modes remain, causing unrepeatable buildfarm failures. I've spent a
fair amount of time trying to solve this by improving the server-side
support code, without much success: that way is fundamentally unable
to cope with diffs that stem from chance ordering of arrival of
messages from different server processes.
We can improve matters on the client side, however, by annotating
the test scripts themselves to show the desired reporting order
of events that might occur in different orders. This patch adds
three types of annotations to deal with (a) test steps that might or
might not complete their waits before the isolationtester can see them
waiting; (b) test steps in different sessions that can legitimately
complete in either order; and (c) NOTIFY messages that might arrive
before or after the completion of a step in another session. We might
need more annotation types later, but this seems to be enough to deal
with the instabilities we've seen in the buildfarm. It also lets us
get rid of all the long delays that were previously used, cutting more
than a minute off the runtime of the isolation tests.

heap_lock_tuple() pfrees the 'members' array if it's not-NULL, others

Document a few caveats in synchronous logical replication.
In a synchronous logical setup, locking [user] catalog tables can cause
deadlock. This is because logical decoding of transactions can lock
catalog tables to access them so exclusively locking those in transactions
can lead to deadlock. To avoid this users must refrain from having
exclusive locks on catalog tables.

Fix decoding of speculative aborts.
During decoding for speculative inserts, we were relying for cleaning
toast hash on confirmation records or next change records. But that
could lead to multiple problems (a) memory leak if there is neither a
confirmation record nor any other record after toast insertion for a
speculative insert in the transaction, (b) error and assertion failures
if the next operation is not an insert/update on the same table.
The fix is to start queuing spec abort change and clean up toast hash
and change record during its processing. Currently, we are queuing the
spec aborts for both toast and main table even though we perform cleanup
while processing the main table's spec abort record. Later, if we have a
way to distinguish between the spec abort record of toast and the main

Work around portability issue with newer versions of mktime().
Recent glibc versions have made mktime() fail if tm_isdst is
inconsistent with the prevailing timezone; in particular it fails for
tm_isdst = 1 when the zone is UTC. (This seems wildly inconsistent
with the POSIX-mandated treatment of "incorrect" values for the other
fields of struct tm, so if you ask me it's a bug, but I bet they'll
say it's intentional.) This has been observed to cause cosmetic
problems when pg_restore'ing an archive created in a different
timezone.
To fix, do mktime() using the field values from the archive, and if
that fails try again with tm_isdst = -1. This will give a result
that's off by the UTC-offset difference from the original zone, but
that was true before, too. It's not terribly critical since we don't
do anything with the result except possibly print it. (Someday we
should flush this entire bit of logic and record a standard-format
timestamp in the archive instead. That's not okay for a back-patched
bug fix, though.)
Also, guard our only other use of mktime() by having initdb's
build_time_t() set tm_isdst = -1 not 0. This case could only have
an issue in zones that are DST year-round; but I think some do exist,
or could in future.

Restore robustness of TAP tests that wait for postmaster restart.
Several TAP tests use poll_query_until() to wait for the postmaster
to restart. They were checking to see if a trivial query
(e.g. "SELECT 1") succeeds. However, that's problematic in the wake
of commit
11e9caff8, because now that we feed said query to psql
via stdin, we risk IPC::Run whining about a SIGPIPE failure if psql
quits before reading the query. Hence, we can't use a nonempty
query in cases where we need to wait for connection failures to
stop happening.
Per the precedent of commits
c757a3da0 and
6d41dd045, we can pass
"undef" as the query in such cases to ensure that IPC::Run has
nothing to write. However, then we have to say that the expected
output is empty, and this exposes a deficiency in poll_query_until:
if psql fails altogether and returns empty stdout, poll_query_until
will treat that as a success! That's because, contrary to its
documentation, it makes no actual check for psql failure, looking
neither at the exit status nor at stderr.
To fix that, adjust poll_query_until to insist on empty stderr as
well as a stdout match. (I experimented with checking exit status
instead, but it seems that psql often does exit(1) in cases that we
need to consider successes. That might be something to fix someday,
but it would be a non-back-patchable behavior change.)
Back-patch to v10. The test cases needing this exist only as far
back as v11, but it seems wise to keep poll_query_until's behavior
the same in v10, in case we back-patch another such test case in
future. (9.6 does not currently need this change, because in that
branch poll_query_until can't be told to accept empty stdout as
a success case.)

Force NO SCROLL for plpgsql's implicit cursors.
Further thought about bug #17050 suggests that it's a good idea

commits inside the loop, PersistHoldablePortal won't try to
rewind and re-read the cursor. While we'd have selected NO_SCROLL
anyway if FOR UPDATE/SHARE appears in the query, there are other
hazards with volatile functions; and in any case, it's silly to
expend effort storing rows that we know for certain won't be needed.

Avoid misbehavior when persisting a non-stable cursor.
PersistHoldablePortal has long assumed that it should store the
entire output of the query-to-be-persisted, which requires rewinding
and re-reading the output. This is problematic if the query is not
stable: we might get different row contents, or even a different
number of rows, which'd confuse the cursor state mightily.
In the case where the cursor is NO SCROLL, this is very easy to
solve: just store the remaining query output, without any rewinding,
and tweak the portal's cursor state to match. Aside from removing
the semantic problem, this could be significantly more efficient
than storing the whole output.
If the cursor is scrollable, there's not much we can do, but it
was already the case that scrolling a volatile query's result was
pretty unsafe. We can just document more clearly that getting
correct results from that is not guaranteed.
There are already prohibitions in place on using SCROLL with
FOR UPDATE/SHARE, which is one way for a SELECT query to have
non-stable results. We could imagine prohibiting SCROLL when
the query contains volatile functions, but that would be
expensive to enforce. Moreover, it could break applications
that work just fine, if they have functions that are in fact
stable but the user neglected to mark them so. So settle for
documenting the hazard.
While this problem has existed in some guise for a long time,
it got a lot worse in v11, which introduced the possibility
of persisting plpgsql cursors (perhaps implicit ones) even
when they violate the rules for what can be marked WITH HOLD.

An incorrectly-encoded multibyte character near the end of a string
could cause various processing loops to run past the string's

This isn't an issue in the server, because we take care to verify
the encoding of strings before doing any interesting processing
on them. However, that lack of care leaked into client-side code
which shouldn't assume that anyone has validated the encoding of
its input.
Although this is certainly a bug worth fixing, the PG security team
elected not to regard it as a security issue, primarily because
any untrusted text should be sanitized by PQescapeLiteral or
the like before being incorporated into a SQL or psql command.
(If an app fails to do so, the same technique can be used to
cause SQL injection, with probably much more dire consequences
than a mere client-program crash.) Those functions were already

Disallow SSL renegotiation
SSL renegotiation is already disabled as of
48d23c72, however this does
not prevent the server to comply with a client willing to use
renegotiation. In the last couple of years, renegotiation had its set
of security issues and flaws (like the recent CVE-2021-3449), and it
could be possible to crash the backend with a client attempting
renegotiation.
This commit takes one extra step by disabling renegotiation in the
backend in the same way as SSL compression (
f9264d15) or tickets
(
97d3a0b0). OpenSSL 1.1.0h has added an option named
SSL_OP_NO_RENEGOTIATION able to achieve that. In older versions
there is an option called SSL3_FLAGS_NO_RENEGOTIATE_CIPHERS that
was undocumented, and could be set within the SSL object created when
the TLS connection opens, but I have decided not to use it, as it feels
trickier to rely on, and it is not official. Note that this option is
not usable in OpenSSL < 1.1.0h as the internal contents of the *SSL

Restore the portal-level snapshot after procedure COMMIT/ROLLBACK.
COMMIT/ROLLBACK necessarily destroys all snapshots within the session.
The original implementation of intra-procedure transactions just
cavalierly did that, ignoring the fact that this left us executing in
a rather different environment than normal. In particular, it turns
out that handling of toasted datums depends rather critically on there
being an outer ActiveSnapshot: otherwise, when SPI or the core
executor pop whatever snapshot they used and return, it's unsafe to
dereference any toasted datums that may appear in the query result.
It's possible to demonstrate "no known snapshots" and "missing chunk
number N for toast value" errors as a result of this oversight.
Historically this outer snapshot has been held by the Portal code,
and that seems like a good plan to preserve. So add infrastructure
to pquery.c to allow re-establishing the Portal-owned snapshot if it's
not there anymore, and add enough bookkeeping support that we can tell
whether it is or not.
We can't, however, just re-establish the Portal snapshot as part of
COMMIT/ROLLBACK. As in normal transaction start, acquiring the first
snapshot should wait until after SET and LOCK commands. Hence, teach
spi.c about doing this at the right time. (Note that this patch
doesn't fix the problem for any PLs that try to run intra-procedure
transactions without using SPI to execute SQL commands.)
This makes SPI's no_snapshots parameter rather a misnomer, so in HEAD,
rename that to allow_nonatomic.
replication/logical/worker.c also needs some fixes, because it wasn't
careful to hold a snapshot open around AFTER trigger execution.
That code doesn't use a Portal, which I suspect someday we're gonna
have to fix. But for now, just rearrange the order of operations.
This includes back-patching the recent addition of finish_estate()
to centralize the cleanup logic there.

Avoid detoasting failure after COMMIT inside a plpgsql FOR loop.
exec_for_query() normally tries to prefetch a few rows at a time
from the query being iterated over, so as to reduce executor
entry/exit overhead. Unfortunately this is unsafe if we have
COMMIT or ROLLBACK within the loop, because there might be
TOAST references in the data that we prefetched but haven't
yet examined. Immediately after the COMMIT/ROLLBACK, we have
no snapshots in the session, meaning that VACUUM is at liberty
to remove recently-deleted TOAST rows.
This was originally reported as a case triggering the "no known
snapshots" error in init_toast_snapshot(), but even if you miss
hitting that, you can get "missing toast chunk", as illustrated
by the added isolation test case.
To fix, just disable prefetching in non-atomic contexts. Maybe
there will be performance complaints prompting us to work harder

Prevent infinite insertion loops in spgdoinsert().
Formerly we just relied on operator classes that assert longValuesOK
to eventually shorten the leaf value enough to fit on an index page.
That fails since the introduction of INCLUDE-column support (commit
09c1c6ab4), because the INCLUDE columns might alone take up more
than a page, meaning no amount of leaf-datum compaction will get
the job done. At least with spgtextproc.c, that leads to an infinite
loop, since spgtextproc.c won't throw an error for not being able
to shorten the leaf datum anymore.
To fix without breaking cases that would otherwise work, add logic
to spgdoinsert() to verify that the leaf tuple size is decreasing
after each "choose" step. Some opclasses might not decrease the
size on every single cycle, and in any case, alignment roundoff
of the tuple size could obscure small gains. Therefore, allow
up to 10 cycles without additional savings before throwing an
error. (Perhaps this number will need adjustment, but it seems
quite generous right now.)
As long as we've developed this logic, let's back-patch it.
The back branches don't have INCLUDE columns to worry about, but
this seems like a good defense against possible bugs in operator
classes. We already know that an infinite loop here is pretty
unpleasant, so having a defense seems to outweigh the risk of
breaking things. (Note that spgtextproc.c is actually the only
known opclass with longValuesOK support, so that this is all moot
for known non-core opclasses anyway.)

Fix query-cancel handling in spgdoinsert().
Knowing that a buggy opclass could cause an infinite insertion loop,
spgdoinsert() intended to allow its loop to be interrupted by query
cancel. However, that never actually worked, because in iterations
after the first, we'd be holding buffer lock(s) which would cause
InterruptHoldoffCount to be positive, preventing servicing of the
interrupt.
To fix, check if an interrupt is pending, and if so fall out of
the insertion loop and service the interrupt after we've released
the buffers. If it was indeed a query cancel, that's the end of
the matter. If it was a non-canceling interrupt reason, make use
of the existing provision to retry the whole insertion. (This isn't
as wasteful as it might seem, since any upper-level index tuples we
already created should be usable in the next attempt.)
While there's no known instance of such a bug in existing release
branches, it still seems like a good idea to back-patch this to

Fix mishandling of resjunk columns in ON CONFLICT ... UPDATE tlists.
It's unusual to have any resjunk columns in an ON CONFLICT ... UPDATE
list, but it can happen when MULTIEXPR_SUBLINK SubPlans are present.
If it happens, the ON CONFLICT UPDATE code path would end up storing
tuples that include the values of the extra resjunk columns. That's
fairly harmless in the short run, but if new columns are added to
the table then the values would become accessible, possibly leading
to malfunctions if they don't match the datatypes of the new columns.
This had escaped notice through a confluence of missing sanity checks,
including
* There's no cross-check that a tuple presented to heap_insert or
heap_update matches the table rowtype. While it's difficult to
check that fully at reasonable cost, we can easily add assertions
that there aren't too many columns.
* The output-column-assignment cases in execExprInterp.c lacked
any sanity checks on the output column numbers, which seems like
an oversight considering there are plenty of assertion checks on
input column numbers. Add assertions there too.
* We failed to apply nodeModifyTable's ExecCheckPlanOutput() to
the ON CONFLICT UPDATE tlist. That wouldn't have caught this
specific error, since that function is chartered to ignore resjunk
columns; but it sure seems like a bad omission now that we've seen
this bug.
In HEAD, the right way to fix this is to make the processing of
ON CONFLICT UPDATE tlists work the same as regular UPDATE tlists
now do, that is don't add "SET x = x" entries, and use
ExecBuildUpdateProjection to evaluate the tlist and combine it with
old values of the not-set columns. This adds a little complication
to ExecBuildUpdateProjection, but allows removal of a comparable
amount of now-dead code from the planner.
In the back branches, the most expedient solution seems to be to
(a) use an output slot for the ON CONFLICT UPDATE projection that
actually matches the target table, and then (b) invent a variant of
ExecBuildProjectionInfo that can be told to not store values resulting
from resjunk columns, so it doesn't try to store into nonexistent
columns of the output slot. (We can't simply ignore the resjunk columns
altogether; they have to be evaluated for MULTIEXPR_SUBLINK to work.)
This works back to v10. In 9.6, projections work much differently and
we can't cheaply give them such an option. The 9.6 version of this
patch works by inserting a JunkFilter when it's necessary to get rid
of resjunk columns.
In addition, v11 and up have the reverse problem when trying to
perform ON CONFLICT UPDATE on a partitioned table. Through a
further oversight, adjust_partition_tlist() discarded resjunk columns
when re-ordering the ON CONFLICT UPDATE tlist to match a partition.
This accidentally prevented the storing-bogus-tuples problem, but
at the cost that MULTIEXPR_SUBLINK cases didn't work, typically
crashing if more than one row has to be updated. Fix by preserving
resjunk columns in that routine. (I failed to resist the temptation
to add more assertions there too, and to do some minor code
beautification.)

Prevent integer overflows in array subscripting calculations.
While we were (mostly) careful about ensuring that the dimensions of
arrays aren't large enough to cause integer overflow, the lower bound
values were generally not checked. This allows situations where
lower_bound + dimension overflows an integer. It seems that that's
harmless so far as array reading is concerned, except that array
elements with subscripts notionally exceeding INT_MAX are inaccessible.
However, it confuses various array-assignment logic, resulting in a
potential for memory stomps.
Fix by adding checks that array lower bounds aren't large enough to
cause lower_bound + dimension to overflow. (Note: this results in
disallowing cases where the last subscript position would be exactly
INT_MAX. In principle we could probably allow that, but there's a lot
of code that computes lower_bound + dimension and would need adjustment.
It seems doubtful that it's worth the trouble/risk to allow it.)
Somewhat independently of that, array_set_element() was careless
about possible overflow when checking the subscript of a fixed-length
array, creating a different route to memory stomps. Fix that too.

has been a lie since we invented protocol 3.0. Not sure why this
text was never updated for that, but do it now.

Disallow calling anything but plain functions via the fastpath API.
Reject aggregates, window functions, and procedures. Aggregates
failed anyway, though with a somewhat obscure error message.
Window functions would hit an Assert or null-pointer dereference.
Procedures seemed to work as long as you didn't try to do
transaction control, but (a) transaction control is sort of the
point of a procedure, and (b) it's not entirely clear that no
bugs lurk in that path. Given the lack of testing of this area,
it seems safest to be conservative in what we support.
Also reject proretset functions, as the fastpath protocol can't
support returning a set.
Also remove an easily-triggered assertion that the given OID
isn't 0; the subsequent lookups can handle that case themselves.
Per report from Theodor-Arsenij Larionov-Trichkin.
Back-patch to all supported branches. (The procedure angle
only applies in v11+, of course.)

Fix some more omissions in pg_upgrade's tests for non-upgradable types.
Commits
29aeda6e4 et al closed up some oversights involving not checking
for non-upgradable types within container types, such as arrays and
ranges. However, I only looked at version.c, failing to notice that
there were substantially-equivalent tests in check.c. (The division
of responsibility between those files is less than clear...)
In addition, because genbki.pl does not guarantee that auto-generated
rowtype OIDs will hold still across versions, we need to consider that
the composite type associated with a system catalog or view is
non-upgradable. It seems unlikely that someone would have a user
column declared that way, but if they did, trying to read it in another
PG version would likely draw "no such pg_type OID" failures, thanks
to the type OID embedded in composite Datums.
To support the composite and reg*-type cases, extend the recursive
query that does the search to allow any base query that returns
a column of pg_type OIDs, rather than limiting it to exactly one
starting type.
As before, back-patch to all supported branches.

Fix pg_identify_object_as_address() with event triggers
Attempting to use this function with event triggers failed, as, since
its introduction in
a676201, this code has never associated an object
name with event triggers. This addresses the failure by adding the
event trigger name to the set defining its object address.
Note that regression tests are added within event_trigger and not
object_address to avoid issues with concurrent connections in parallel
schedules.

Doc: document EXTRACT(JULIAN ...), improve Julian Date explanation.
For some reason, the "julian" option for extract()/date_part() has
never gotten listed in the manual. Also, while Appendix B mentioned
in passing that we don't conform to the usual astronomical definition
that a Julian date starts at noon UTC, it was kind of vague about what
we do instead. Clarify that, and add an example showing how to get
the astronomical definition if you want it.
It's been like this for ages, so back-patch to all supported branches.

doc: Fix obsolete description about pg_basebackup.
Previously it was documented that if using "-X none" option there was
no guarantee that all required WAL files were archived at the end of
pg_basebackup when taking a backup from the standby. But this limitation
was removed by commit
52f8a59dd9. Now, even when taking a backup
from the standby, pg_basebackup can wait for all required WAL files
to be archived. Therefore this commit removes such obsolete
description from the docs.
Also this commit adds new description about the limitation when
taking a backup from the standby, into the docs. The limitation is that
pg_basebackup cannot force the standbfy to switch to a new WAL file
at the end of backup, which may cause pg_basebackup to wait a long
time for the last required WAL file to be switched and archived,
especially when write activity on the primary is low.
Back-patch to v10 where the issue was introduced.

Fix bugs in RETURNING in cross-partition UPDATE cases.
If the source and destination partitions don't have identical
rowtypes (for example, one has dropped columns the other lacks),
then the planSlot contents will be different because of that.
If the query has a RETURNING list that tries to return resjunk
columns out of the planSlot, that is columns from tables that
were joined to the target table, we'd get errors or wrong answers.
That's because we used the RETURNING list generated for the
destination partition, which expects a planSlot matching that
partition's subplan.
The most practical fix seems to be to convert the updated destination
tuple back to the source partition's rowtype, and then apply the
RETURNING list generated for the source partition. This avoids making
fragile assumptions about whether the per-subpartition subplans
generated all the resjunk columns in the same order.
This has been broken since v11 introduced cross-partition UPDATE.
The lack of field complaints shows that non-identical partitions
aren't a common case; therefore, don't stress too hard about
making the conversion efficient.
There's no such bug in HEAD, because commit
86dc90056 got rid of
per-target-relation variance in the contents of the planSlot.
Hence, patch v11-v13 only.
