Block ALTER INDEX/TABLE index_name ALTER COLUMN colname SET (options)
The grammar of this command run on indexes with column names has always
been authorized by the parser, and it has never been documented.
Since
911e702, it is possible to define opclass parameters as of CREATE
INDEX, which actually broke the old case of ALTER INDEX/TABLE where
relation-level parameters n_distinct and n_distinct_inherited could be
defined for an index (see
76a47c0 and its thread where this point has
been touched, still remained unused). Attempting to do that in v13~
would cause the index to become unusable, as there is a new dedicated
code path to load opclass parameters instead of the relation-level ones
previously available. Note that it is possible to fix things with a
manual catalog update to bring the relation back online.
This commit disables this command for now as the use of column names for
indexes does not make sense anyway, particularly when it comes to index
expressions where names are automatically computed. One way to properly
support this case properly in the future would be to use column numbers
when it comes to indexes, in the same way as ALTER INDEX .. ALTER COLUMN
.. SET STATISTICS.
Partitioned indexes were already blocked, but not indexes. Some tests
are added for both cases.
There was some code in ANALYZE to enforce n_distinct to be used for an
index expression if the parameter was defined, but just remove it for
now until/if there is support for this (note that index-level parameters
never had support in pg_dump either, previously), so this was just dead
code.

on the follow-up command received by the WAL sender that created this

pg_amcheck: avoid unhelpful verification attempts.
Avoid calling contrib/amcheck functions with relations that are
unsuitable for checking. Specifically, don't attempt verification of
temporary relations, or indexes whose pg_index entry indicates that the
index is invalid, or not ready.
These relations are not supported by any of the contrib/amcheck
functions, for reasons that are pretty fundamental. For example, the
implementation of REINDEX CONCURRENTLY can add its own "transient"
pg_index entries, which has rather unclear implications for the B-Tree
verification functions, at least in the general case -- so they just
treat it as an error. It falls to the amcheck caller (in this case
pg_amcheck) to deal with the situation at a higher level.
pg_amcheck now simply treats these conditions as additional "visibility

Fix tests of pg_upgrade across different major versions
This fixes a set of issues that cause different breakages or annoyances
when using pg_upgrade's test.sh to do upgrades across different major
versions:
- test.sh is completely broken when using v14 as new version because of
the removal of testtablespace/ as Makefile rule. Older versions of
pg_regress don't support --make-tablespacedir, blocking the creation of
the tablespace. In order to fix that, it is simple enough to create
those directories in the script itself, but only do that when an old
version is involved. This fix is needed on HEAD and REL_14_STABLE.
- The script would fail when using PG <= v11 as old version because of
WITH OIDS relations not supported in v12. In order to fix this, this
steals a method from the buildfarm that uses a DO block to change all
the relations marked as WITH OIDS, allowing pg_upgrade to pass. This is
more portable than using ALTER TABLE queries on the relations causing
issues. This is fixed down to v12, and authored originally by Andrew
Dunstan.
- Not using --extra-float-digits=0 with v11 as old version causes
a lot of diffs in the dumps, making the whole unreadable. This gets
only done when using v11 as old version. This is fixed down to v12.
The buildfarm code uses that already.
Note that the addition of --wal-segsize and --allow-group-access breaks
the script when using v10 or older at initdb time as these got added in
11. 10 would be EOL'd next year and nobody has complained about those
problems yet, so nothing is done about that. This means that this
commit fixes upgrade tests using test.sh with v11 as minimum older
version, up to HEAD, and that it is enough to apply this change down to
12. The old and new dumps still generate diffs, still require manual
checks, and more could be done to reduce the noise, but this allows the
tests to run with a rather minimal amount of them.
I have tested this commit and test.sh with v11 as minimum across all the
branches where this is applied. Note that this commit has no impact on
the normal pg_upgrade test run with a simple "make check".

Affected unlogged relations should be considered "trivially verified",

otherwise all precision is lost, leading to a poor choice of rscale
for the full-precision calculation.
Fix this by removing the cap on the local rscale during the initial
low-precision calculation, as we already do in the full-precision
calculation. This doesn't change the fact that the initial calculation
is a low-precision approximation, computing the logarithm to around 8
significant digits, which is very fast, especially when the base is
very close to 1.

Update our mapping of Windows time zone names some more.
Per discussion, let's just follow CLDR's default zone mappings

* Mapping "Greenwich Standard Time" to Atlantic/Reykjavik is actually
a better fit than using London, because Iceland hasn't observed DST
since 1968, so this is more nearly what people might expect.
* Since the "Samoa" zone is specified to be UTC+13:00, we must map
it to Pacific/Apia not Pacific/Samoa; the latter refers to American
Samoa which is now on the other side of the date line.

Fix snapshot builds during promotion of hot standby node with 2PC
Some specific logic is done at the end of recovery when involving 2PC
transactions:
1) Call RecoverPreparedTransactions(), to recover the state of 2PC
transactions into memory (re-acquire locks, etc.).
2) ShutdownRecoveryTransactionEnvironment(), to move back to normal
operations, mainly cleaning up recovery locks and KnownAssignedXids
(including any 2PC transaction tracked previously).
3) Switch XLogCtl->SharedRecoveryState to RECOVERY_STATE_DONE, which is
the tipping point for any process calling RecoveryInProgress() to check
if the cluster is still in recovery or not.
Any snapshot taken between steps 2) and 3) would be empty, causing any
transaction relying on a snapshot at this point to potentially corrupt
data as there could still be some 2PC transactions to track, with
RecentXmin moving backwards on successive calls to GetSnapshotData() in
the same transaction.
As SharedRecoveryState is the point to take into account to know if it
is safe to discard KnownAssignedXids, this commit moves step 2) after
step 3), so as we can never finish with empty snapshots.
This exists since the introduction of hot standby, so backpatch all the
way down. The window with incorrect snapshots is extremely small, but I

Fix checking of query type in plpgsql's RETURN QUERY command.
Prior to v14, we insisted that the query in RETURN QUERY be of a type
that returns tuples. (For instance, INSERT RETURNING was allowed,
but not plain INSERT.) That happened indirectly because we opened a
cursor for the query, so spi.c checked SPI_is_cursor_plan(). As a
consequence, the error message wasn't terribly on-point, but at least
it was there.
Commit
2f48ede08 lost this detail. Instead, plain RETURN QUERY
insisted that the query be a SELECT (by checking for SPI_OK_SELECT)
while RETURN QUERY EXECUTE failed to check the query type at all.
Neither of these changes was intended.
The only convenient place to check this in the EXECUTE case is inside
_SPI_execute_plan, because we haven't done parse analysis until then.
So we need to pass down a flag saying whether to enforce that the
query returns tuples. Fortunately, we can squeeze another boolean
into struct SPIExecuteOptions without an ABI break, since there's
padding space there. (It's unlikely that any extensions would
already be using this new struct, but preserving ABI in v14 seems
like a smart idea anyway.)
Within spi.c, it seemed like _SPI_execute_plan's parameter list
was already ridiculously long, and I didn't want to make it longer.
So I thought of passing SPIExecuteOptions down as-is, allowing that
parameter list to become much shorter. This makes the patch a bit
more invasive than it might otherwise be, but it's all internal to
spi.c, so that seems fine.

* Flat-out errors:

Asia/Dhaka (Bangladesh) is wrong for Astana (Kazakhstan)
Europe/Bucharest is wrong for Chisinau

(These changes follow CLDR's choices, except for the first one)

more likely than Africa/Casablanca to be what people will think that
zone name means. CLDR has Atlantic/Reykjavik here, but that's no better.
Asia/Shanghai seems a better fit than Hong Kong for "China Standard

Europe/Sarajevo is now a link to Belgrade, ie "Central Europe Standard
Time"; so use Warsaw for "Central European Standard Time".
America/Sao_Paulo seems more representative than Araguaina for
"E. South America Standard Time".
Africa/Johannesburg seems more representative than Harare for
"South Africa Standard Time".

"Israel Standard Time"
"Kaliningrad Standard Time"
"Russia Time Zone N" for various N
"Singapore Standard Time"
"South Sudan Standard Time"
"W. Central Africa Standard Time"
"West Bank Standard Time"
"Yukon Standard Time"

Fix Portal snapshot tracking to handle subtransactions properly.
Commit
84f5c2908 forgot to consider the possibility that
EnsurePortalSnapshotExists could run inside a subtransaction with
lifespan shorter than the Portal's. In that case, the new active
snapshot would be popped at the end of the subtransaction, leaving
a dangling pointer in the Portal, with mayhem ensuing.
To fix, make sure the ActiveSnapshot stack entry is marked with
the same subtransaction nesting level as the associated Portal.
It's certainly safe to do so since we won't be here at all unless
the stack is empty; hence we can't create an out-of-order stack.
Let's also apply this logic in the case where PortalRunUtility
sets portalSnapshot, just to be sure that path can't cause similar
problems. It's slightly less clear that that path can't create
an out-of-order stack, so add an assertion guarding it.

Fix WAL replay in presence of an incomplete record
Physical replication always ships WAL segment files to replicas once
they are complete. This is a problem if one WAL record is split across
a segment boundary and the primary server crashes before writing down
the segment with the next portion of the WAL record: WAL writing after
crash recovery would happily resume at the point where the broken record
started, overwriting that record ... but any standby or backup may have
already received a copy of that segment, and they are not rewinding.
This causes standbys to stop following the primary after the latter
crashes:
LOG: invalid contrecord length 7262 at A8/
D9FFFBC8
because the standby is still trying to read the continuation record
(contrecord) for the original long WAL record, but it is not there and
it will never be. A workaround is to stop the replica, delete the WAL
file, and restart it -- at which point a fresh copy is brought over from
the primary. But that's pretty labor intensive, and I bet many users
would just give up and re-clone the standby instead.
A fix for this problem was already attempted in commit
515e3d84a0b5, but
it only addressed the case for the scenario of WAL archiving, so
streaming replication would still be a problem (as well as other things
such as taking a filesystem-level backup while the server is down after
having crashed), and it had performance scalability problems too; so it
had to be reverted.
This commit fixes the problem using an approach suggested by Andres
Freund, whereby the initial portion(s) of the split-up WAL record are
kept, and a special type of WAL record is written where the contrecord
was lost, so that WAL replay in the replica knows to skip the broken
parts. With this approach, we can continue to stream/archive segment
files as soon as they are complete, and replay of the broken records
will proceed across the crash point without a hitch.
Because a new type of WAL record is added, users should be careful to
upgrade standbys first, primaries later. Otherwise they risk the standby
being unable to start if the primary happens to write such a record.
A new TAP test that exercises this is added, but the portability of it
is yet to be seen.
This has been wrong since the introduction of physical replication, so
backpatch all the way back. In stable branches, keep the new
XLogReaderState members at the end of the struct, to avoid an ABI
break.

Fix "single value strategy" index deletion issue.
It is not appropriate for deduplication to apply single value strategy
when triggered by a bottom-up index deletion pass. This wastes cycles
because later bottom-up deletion passes will overinterpret older
duplicate tuples that deduplication actually just skipped over "by
design". It also makes bottom-up deletion much less effective for low
cardinality indexes that happen to cross a meaningless "index has single
key value per leaf page" threshold.
To fix, slightly narrow the conditions under which deduplication's
single value strategy is considered. We already avoided the strategy
for a unique index, since our high level goal must just be to buy time
for VACUUM to run (not to buy space). We'll now also avoid it when we
just had a bottom-up pass that reported failure. The two cases share
the same high level goal, and already overlapped significantly, so this
approach is quite natural.

Fix misevaluation of STABLE parameters in CALL within plpgsql.
Before commit
84f5c2908, a STABLE function in a plpgsql CALL
statement's argument list would see an up-to-date snapshot,
because exec_stmt_call would push a new snapshot. I got rid of
that because the possibility of the snapshot disappearing within
COMMIT made it too hard to manage a snapshot across the CALL
statement. That's fine so far as the procedure itself goes,
but I forgot to think about the possibility of STABLE functions
within the CALL argument list. As things now stand, those'll
be executed with the Portal's snapshot as ActiveSnapshot,
keeping them from seeing updates more recent than Portal startup.
(VOLATILE functions don't have a problem because they take their
own snapshots; which indeed is also why the procedure itself
doesn't have a problem. There are no STABLE procedures.)
We can fix this by pushing a new snapshot transiently within
ExecuteCallStmt itself. Popping the snapshot before we get
into the procedure proper eliminates the management problem.
The possibly-useless extra snapshot-grab is slightly annoying,
but it's no worse than what happened before
84f5c2908.

Fix performance regression from session statistics.
Session statistics, as introduced by
960869da08, had several shortcomings:
- an additional GetCurrentTimestamp() call that also impaired the accuracy of
the data collected
This can be avoided by passing the current timestamp we already have in
pgstat_report_stat().
- an additional statistics UDP packet sent every 500ms
This is solved by adding the new statistics to PgStat_MsgTabstat.
This is conceptually ugly, because session statistics are not
table statistics. But the struct already contains data unrelated
to tables, so there is not much damage done.
Connection and disconnection are reported in separate messages, which
reduces the number of additional messages to two messages per session and a
slight increase in PgStat_MsgTabstat size (but the same number of table
stats fit).
