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.)
Per report from Andres Freund. Back-patch to all supported branches.

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.

Have ALTER CONSTRAINT recurse on partitioned tables
When ALTER TABLE .. ALTER CONSTRAINT changes deferrability properties
changed in a partitioned table, we failed to propagate those changes
correctly to partitions and to triggers. Repair by adding a recursion
mechanism to affect all derived constraints and all derived triggers.
(In particular, recurse to partitions even if their respective parents
are already in the desired state: it is possible for the partitions to
have been altered individually.) Because foreign keys involve tables in
two sides, we cannot use the standard ALTER TABLE recursion mechanism,
so we invent our own by following pg_constraint.conparentid down.
When ALTER TABLE .. ALTER CONSTRAINT is invoked on the derived
pg_constraint object that's automaticaly created in a partition as a
result of a constraint added to its parent, raise an error instead of
pretending to work and then failing to modify all the affected triggers.
Before this commit such a command would be allowed but failed to affect
all triggers, so it would silently misbehave. (Restoring dumps of
existing databases is not affected, because pg_dump does not produce
anything for such a derived constraint anyway.)
Add some tests for the case.

29aeda6e4 et al closed up some oversights involving not checking

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

Hence, fix these two functions to act more like other check hooks
with similar needs. (But I did not change their insistence on
being inside a transaction, as it's still not apparent that setting
either GUC from the configuration file would be wise.)
Also fix check_temp_buffers, which had a different form of the disease
of making state-dependent checks without any exception for PGC_S_TEST.
A cursory survey of other GUC check hooks did not find any more issues
of this ilk. (There are a lot of interdependencies among
PGC_POSTMASTER and PGC_SIGHUP GUCs, which may be a bad idea, but
they're not relevant to the immediate concern because they can't be
set via ALTER ROLE/DATABASE.)

Redesign the caching done by get_cached_rowtype().
Previously, get_cached_rowtype() cached a pointer to a reference-counted
tuple descriptor from the typcache, relying on the ExprContextCallback
mechanism to release the tupdesc refcount when the expression tree
using the tupdesc was destroyed. This worked fine when it was designed,
but the introduction of within-DO-block COMMITs broke it. The refcount
is logged in a transaction-lifespan resource owner, but plpgsql won't
destroy simple expressions made within the DO block (before its first
commit) until the DO block is exited. That results in a warning about
a leaked tupdesc refcount when the COMMIT destroys the original resource
owner, and then an error about the active resource owner not holding a
matching refcount when the expression is destroyed.
To fix, get rid of the need to have a shutdown callback at all, by
instead caching a pointer to the relevant typcache entry. Those
survive for the life of the backend, so we needn't worry about the
pointer becoming stale. (For registered RECORD types, we can still
cache a pointer to the tupdesc, knowing that it won't change for the
life of the backend.) This mechanism has been in use in plpgsql
and expandedrecord.c since commit
4b93f5799, and seems to work well.
This change requires modifying the ExprEvalStep structs used by the
relevant expression step types, which is slightly worrisome for
back-patching. However, there seems no good reason for extensions
to be familiar with the details of these particular sub-structs.
Per report from Rohit Bhogate. Back-patch to v11 where within-DO-block

Avoid improbable PANIC during heap_update.
heap_update needs to clear any existing "all visible" flag on
the old tuple's page (and on the new page too, if different).
Per coding rules, to do this it must acquire pin on the appropriate
visibility-map page while not holding exclusive buffer lock;
which creates a race condition since someone else could set the
flag whenever we're not holding the buffer lock. The code is
supposed to handle that by re-checking the flag after acquiring
buffer lock and retrying if it became set. However, one code
path through heap_update itself, as well as one in its subroutine
RelationGetBufferForTuple, failed to do this. The end result,
in the unlikely event that a concurrent VACUUM did set the flag
while we're transiently not holding lock, is a non-recurring
"PANIC: wrong buffer passed to visibilitymap_clear" failure.
This has been seen a few times in the buildfarm since recent VACUUM
changes that added code paths that could set the all-visible flag
while holding only exclusive buffer lock. Previously, the flag
was (usually?) set only after doing LockBufferForCleanup, which
would insist on buffer pin count zero, thus preventing the flag
from becoming set partway through heap_update. However, it's
clear that it's heap_update not VACUUM that's at fault here.
What's less clear is whether there is any hazard from these bugs
in released branches. heap_update is certainly violating API
expectations, but if there is no code path that can set all-visible
without a cleanup lock then it's only a latent bug. That's not
100% certain though, besides which we should worry about extensions
or future back-patch fixes that could introduce such code paths.
I chose to back-patch to v12. Fixing RelationGetBufferForTuple
before that would require also back-patching portions of older
fixes (notably
0d1fe9f74), which is more code churn than seems
prudent to fix a hypothetical issue.

Fix old bug with coercing the result of a COLLATE expression.
There are hacks in parse_coerce.c to push down a requested coercion

expression tree in which CollateExpr is applied to a non-collatable

that it's useless.
This bug is ten years old, dating to the original addition of
COLLATE support. The lack of field complaints suggests that there
aren't a lot of user-visible consequences. We noticed the problem
because it would trigger an assertion in DefineVirtualRelation if
the invalid structure appears as an output column of a view; however,
in a non-assert build, you don't see a crash just a (subtly incorrect)
complaint about applying collation to a non-collatable type. I found
that by putting the incorrect structure further down in a view, I could

Don't add non-existent pages to bitmap from BRIN
The code in bringetbitmap() simply added the whole matching page range
to the TID bitmap, as determined by pages_per_range, even if some of the
pages were beyond the end of the heap. The query then might fail with
an error like this:
ERROR: could not open file "base/20176/20228.2" (target block
262144): previous segment is only 131021 blocks
In this case, the relation has 262093 pages (131072 and 131021 pages),
but we're trying to acess block 262144, i.e. first block of the 3rd
segment. At that point _mdfd_getseg() notices the preceding segment is
incomplete, and fails.
Hitting this in practice is rather unlikely, because:
* Most indexes use power-of-two ranges, so segments and page ranges
align perfectly (segment end is also a page range end).
* The table size has to be just right, with the last segment being
almost full - less than one page range from full segment, so that the
last page range actually crosses the segment boundary.
* Prefetch has to be enabled. The regular page access checks that
pages are not beyond heap end, but prefetch does not. On older
releases (before 12) the execution stops after hitting the first
non-existent page, so the prefetch distance has to be sufficient
to reach the first page in the next segment to trigger the issue.
Since 12 it's enough to just have prefetch enabled, the prefetch
distance does not matter.

segments in ReadHead() and _discoverArchiveFormat() needed to be

the sanity checks in the former. We'd missed noticing this partly
because none of those checks would fail in scenarios we customarily
test, and partly because the oversight would be masked if both
segments execute, which they would in cases other than needing to
autodetect the format of a non-seekable stdin source. However,
in a case meeting all these requirements --- for example, trying
to read a newer-than-supported archive format from non-seekable
stdin --- pg_restore missed applying the version check and would
likely dump core or otherwise misbehave.
The whole thing is silly anyway, because there seems little reason
to duplicate the logic beyond the one-line verification that the
file starts with "PGDMP". There seems to have been an undocumented
assumption that multiple major formats (major enough to require
separate reader modules) would nonetheless share the first half-dozen
fields of the custom-format header. This seems unlikely, so let's
fix it by just nuking the duplicate logic in _discoverArchiveFormat().
Also get rid of the pointless attempt to seek back to the start of

Fix psql's \connect command some more.
Jasen Betts reported yet another unintended side effect of commit
85c54287a: reconnecting with "\c service=whatever" did not have the
expected results. The reason is that starting from the output of
PQconndefaults() effectively allows environment variables (such
as PGPORT) to override entries in the service file, whereas the
normal priority is the other way around.
Not using PQconndefaults at all would require yet a third main code
path in do_connect's parameter setup, so I don't really want to fix
it that way. But we can have the logic effectively ignore all the
default values for just a couple more lines of code.
This patch doesn't change the behavior for "\c -reuse-previous=on
service=whatever". That remains significantly different from before
85c54287a, because many more parameters will be re-used, and thus
not be possible for service entries to replace. But I think this
is (mostly?) intentional. In any case, since libpq does not report
where it got parameter values from, it's hard to do differently.

end_heap_rewrite was not careful to ensure that the target relation

In ordinary cases this is no problem, because it would have been
opened earlier during the rewrite. However a crash can be reproduced
by re-clustering an empty table with CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS enabled.

pg_waldump: Fix bug in per-record statistics.
pg_waldump --stats=record identifies a record by a combination
of the RmgrId and the four bits of the xl_info field of the record.
But XACT records use the first bit of those four bits for an optional
flag variable, and the following three bits for the opcode to
identify a record. So previously the same type of XACT record
could have different four bits (three bits are the same but the
first one bit is different), and which could cause
pg_waldump --stats=record to show two lines of per-record statistics

Fix concurrency issues with WAL segment recycling on Windows
This commit is mostly a revert of

doing the internal renaming of recycled WAL segments to use on Windows a

reported by several users of Postgres 13, this is causing concurrency

Fix timeline assignment in checkpoints with 2PC transactions
Any transactions found as still prepared by a checkpoint have their
state data read from the WAL records generated by PREPARE TRANSACTION
before being moved into their new location within pg_twophase/. While
reading such records, the WAL reader uses the callback
read_local_xlog_page() to read a page, that is shared across various
parts of the system. This callback, since
1148e22a, has introduced an
update of ThisTimeLineID when reading a record while in recovery, which
is potentially helpful in the context of cascading WAL senders.
This update of ThisTimeLineID interacts badly with the checkpointer if a
promotion happens while some 2PC data is read from its record, as, by
changing ThisTimeLineID, any follow-up WAL records would be written to
an timeline older than the promoted one. This results in consistency
issues. For instance, a subsequent server restart would cause a failure
in finding a valid checkpoint record, resulting in a PANIC, for
instance.
This commit changes the code reading the 2PC data to reset the timeline
once the 2PC record has been read, to prevent messing up with the static
state of the checkpointer. It would be tempting to do the same thing
directly in read_local_xlog_page(). However, based on the discussion
that has led to
1148e22a, users may rely on the updates of
ThisTimeLineID when a WAL record page is read in recovery, so changing
this callback could break some cases that are working currently.
A TAP test reproducing the issue is added, relying on a PITR to
precisely trigger a promotion with a prepared transaction still
tracked.

VACUUM ANALYZE: Always update pg_class.reltuples.
vacuumlazy.c sometimes fails to update pg_class entries for each index
(to ensure that pg_class.reltuples is current), even though analyze.c
assumed that that must have happened during VACUUM ANALYZE. There are
at least a couple of reasons for this. For example, vacuumlazy.c could
fail to update pg_class when the index AM indicated that its statistics
are merely an estimate, per the contract for amvacuumcleanup() routines
established by commit
e57345975cf back in 2006.
Stop assuming that pg_class must have been updated with accurate
statistics within VACUUM ANALYZE -- update pg_class for indexes at the
same time as the table relation in all cases. That way VACUUM ANALYZE
will never fail to keep pg_class.reltuples reasonably accurate.
The only downside of this approach (compared to the old approach) is
that it might inaccurately set pg_class.reltuples for indexes whose heap
relation ends up with the same inaccurate value anyway. This doesn't
seem too bad. We already consistently called vac_update_relstats() (to
update pg_class) for the heap/table relation twice during any VACUUM
ANALYZE -- once in vacuumlazy.c, and once in analyze.c. We now make
sure that we call vac_update_relstats() at least once (though often
twice) for each index.
This is follow up work to commit
9f3665fb, which dealt with issues in

btvacuumcleanup() no longer provides an accurate num_index_tuples value

Don't consider newly inserted tuples in nbtree VACUUM.
Remove the entire idea of "stale stats" within nbtree VACUUM (stop
caring about stats involving the number of inserted tuples). Also
remove the vacuum_cleanup_index_scale_factor GUC/param on the master
branch (though just disable them on postgres 13).
The vacuum_cleanup_index_scale_factor/stats interface made the nbtree AM
partially responsible for deciding when pg_class.reltuples stats needed
to be updated. This seems contrary to the spirit of the index AM API,
though -- it is not actually necessary for an index AM's bulk delete and
cleanup callbacks to provide accurate stats when it happens to be
inconvenient. The core code owns that. (Index AMs have the authority
to perform or not perform certain kinds of deferred cleanup based on
their own considerations, such as page deletion and recycling, but that
has little to do with pg_class.reltuples/num_index_tuples.)
This issue was fairly harmless until the introduction of the
autovacuum_vacuum_insert_threshold feature by commit
b07642db, which had
an undesirable interaction with the vacuum_cleanup_index_scale_factor
mechanism: it made insert-driven autovacuums perform full index scans,
even though there is no real benefit to doing so. This has been tied to
a regression with an append-only insert benchmark [1].
Also have remaining cases that perform a full scan of an index during a
cleanup-only nbtree VACUUM indicate that the final tuple count is only
an estimate. This prevents vacuumlazy.c from setting the index's
pg_class.reltuples in those cases (it will now only update pg_class when
vacuumlazy.c had TIDs for nbtree to bulk delete). This arguably fixes
an oversight in deduplication-related bugfix commit

With a random nonzero argument --- or indeed with zero, in non-assert
builds --- it would happily make pg_collation entries with garbage
values of collnamespace. These are harmless as far as I can tell
(unless maybe the OID happens to become used for a schema, later on?).
In any case this isn't a security issue, since the function is
superuser-only. But it seems like a gotcha for unwary DBAs, so let's
add a check that the given OID belongs to some schema.
Back-patch to v10 where this function was introduced.

Clarify the usage of max_replication_slots on the subscriber side.
It was not clear in the docs that the max_replication_slots is also used

Fix duplicated test case in TAP tests of reindexdb
The same test for REINDEX (VERBOSE) was done twice, while it is clear
that the second test should use --concurrently. Issue introduced in

Fix use-after-free bug with AfterTriggersTableData.storeslot
AfterTriggerSaveEvent() wrongly allocates the slot in execution-span
memory context, whereas the correct thing is to allocate it in
a transaction-span context, because that's where the enclosing
AfterTriggersTableData instance belongs into.
Backpatch to 12 (the test back to 11, where it works well with no code
changes, and it's good to have to confirm that the case was previously
well supported); this bug seems introduced by commit
ff11e7f4b9ae.

Fix list-manipulation bug in WITH RECURSIVE processing.
makeDependencyGraphWalker and checkWellFormedRecursionWalker
thought they could hold onto a pointer to a list's first
cons cell while the list was modified by recursive calls.
That was okay when the cons cell was actually separately
palloc'd ... but since commit
1cff1b95a, it's quite unsafe,
leading to core dumps or incorrect complaints of faulty
WITH nesting.
In the field this'd require at least a seven-deep WITH nest
to cause an issue, but enabling DEBUG_LIST_MEMORY_USAGE
allows the bug to be seen with lesser nesting depths.
Per bug #16801 from Alexander Lakhin. Back-patch to v13.
