Fix postgres_fdw to check shippability of sort clauses properly.
postgres_fdw would push ORDER BY clauses to the remote side without
verifying that the sort operator is safe to ship. Moreover, it failed
to print a suitable USING clause if the sort operator isn't default

remote sort might not have anywhere near the semantics we expect,

pageinspect: Add more sanity checks to prevent out-of-bound reads
A couple of code paths use the special area on the page passed by the
function caller, expecting to find some data in it. However, feeding
an incorrect page can lead to out-of-bound reads when trying to access
the page special area (like a heap page that has no special area,
leading PageGetSpecialPointer() to grab a pointer outside the allocated
page).
The functions used for hash and btree indexes have some protection
already against that, while some other functions using a relation OID
as argument would make sure that the access method involved is correct,
but functions taking in input a raw page without knowing the relation
the page is attached to would run into problems.
This commit improves the set of checks used in the code paths of BRIN,
btree (including one check if a leaf page is found with a non-zero
level), GIN and GiST to verify that the page given in input has a
special area size that fits with each access method, which is done
though PageGetSpecialSize(), becore calling PageGetSpecialPointer().
The scope of the checks done is limited to work with pages that one
would pass after getting a block with get_raw_page(), as it is possible
to craft byteas that could bypass existing code paths. Having too many
checks would also impact the usability of pageinspect, as the existing
code is very useful to look at the content details in a corrupted page,
so the focus is really to avoid out-of-bound reads as this is never a
good thing even with functions whose execution is limited to
superusers.
The safest approach could be to rework the functions so as these fetch a
block using a relation OID and a block number, but there are also cases
where using a raw page is useful.
Tests are added to cover all the code paths that needed such checks, and
an error message for hash indexes is reworded to fit better with what
this commit adds.

Harden TAP tests that intentionally corrupt page checksums.
The previous method for doing that was to write zeroes into a
predetermined set of page locations. However, there's a roughly
1-in-64K chance that the existing checksum will match by chance,
and yesterday several buildfarm animals started to reproducibly
see that, resulting in test failures because no checksum mismatch
was reported.
Since the checksum includes the page LSN, test success depends on
the length of the installation's WAL history, which is affected by
(at least) the initial catalog contents, the set of locales installed
on the system, and the length of the pathname of the test directory.
Sooner or later we were going to hit a chance match, and today is
that day.
Harden these tests by specifically inverting the checksum field and
leaving all else alone, thereby guaranteeing that the checksum is
incorrect.
In passing, fix places that were using seek() to set up for syswrite(),

Fix replay of create database records on standby
Crash recovery on standby may encounter missing directories when
replaying create database WAL records. Prior to this patch, the standby
would fail to recover in such a case. However, the directories could be
legitimately missing. Consider a sequence of WAL records as follows:
CREATE DATABASE
DROP DATABASE
DROP TABLESPACE
If, after replaying the last WAL record and removing the tablespace
directory, the standby crashes and has to replay the create database
record again, the crash recovery must be able to move on.
This patch adds a mechanism similar to invalid-page tracking, to keep a
tally of missing directories during crash recovery. If all the missing
directory references are matched with corresponding drop records at the
end of crash recovery, the standby can safely continue following the
primary.

master. I (Álvaro) manually verified that the code behaves as expected

Revert applying column aliases to the output of whole-row Vars.
In commit
bf7ca1587, I had the bright idea that we could make the
result of a whole-row Var (that is, foo.*) track any column aliases
that had been applied to the FROM entry the Var refers to. However,
that's not terribly logically consistent, because now the output of
the Var is no longer of the named composite type that the Var claims
to emit.
bf7ca1587 tried to handle that by changing the output
tuple values to be labeled with a blessed RECORD type, but that's
really pretty disastrous: we can wind up storing such tuples onto
disk, whereupon they're not readable by other sessions.
The only practical fix I can see is to give up on what
bf7ca1587
tried to do, and say that the column names of tuples produced by
a whole-row Var are always those of the underlying named composite
type, query aliases or no. While this introduces some inconsistencies,
it removes others, so it's not that awful in the abstract. What *is*
kind of awful is to make such a behavioral change in a back-patched
bug fix. But corrupt data is worse, so back-patched it will be.
(A workaround available to anyone who's unhappy about this is to
introduce an extra level of sub-SELECT, so that the whole-row Var is
referring to the sub-SELECT's output and not to a named table type.
Then the Var is of type RECORD to begin with and there's no issue.)

Fix publish_as_relid with multiple publications
Commit
83fd4532a7 allowed publishing of changes via ancestors, for
publications defined with publish_via_partition_root. But the way
the ancestor was determined in get_rel_sync_entry() was incorrect,
simply updating the same variable. So with multiple publications,
replicating different ancestors, the outcome depended on the order
of publications in the list - the value from the last loop was used,
even if it wasn't the top-most ancestor.
This is a probably rare situation, as in most cases publications do
not overlap, so each partition has exactly one candidate ancestor
to replicate as and there's no ambiguity.
Fixed by tracking the "ancestor level" for each publication, and
picking the top-most ancestor. Adds a test case, verifying the
correct ancestor is used for publishing the changes and that this
does not depend on order of publications in the list.
Older releases have another bug in this loop - once all actions are
replicated, the loop is terminated, on the assumption that inspecting
additional publications is unecessary. But that misses the fact that
those additional applications may replicate different ancestors.
Fixed by removal of this break condition. We might still terminate the
loop in some cases (e.g. when replicating all actions and the ancestor
is the partition root).

911e702077 implemented operator class parameters including the signature length
in ltree. Previously, the signature length for gist_ltree_ops was 8. Because
of bug
911e702077 the default signature length for gist_ltree_ops became 28 for
ltree 1.1 (where options method is NOT provided) and 8 for ltree 1.2 (where
options method is provided). This commit changes the default signature length
for ltree 1.1 to 8.

Fix race between DROP TABLESPACE and checkpointing.
Commands like ALTER TABLE SET TABLESPACE may leave files for the next
checkpoint to clean up. If such files are not removed by the time DROP
TABLESPACE is called, we request a checkpoint so that they are deleted.
However, there is presently a window before checkpoint start where new
unlink requests won't be scheduled until the following checkpoint. This
means that the checkpoint forced by DROP TABLESPACE might not remove the
files we expect it to remove, and the following ERROR will be emitted:
ERROR: tablespace "mytblspc" is not empty
To fix, add a call to AbsorbSyncRequests() just before advancing the
unlink cycle counter. This ensures that any unlink requests forwarded
prior to checkpoint start (i.e., when ckpt_started is incremented) will
be processed by the current checkpoint. Since AbsorbSyncRequests()
performs memory allocations, it cannot be called within a critical
section, so we also need to move SyncPreCheckpoint() to before
CreateCheckPoint()'s critical section.

pageinspect: Fix handling of page sizes and AM types
This commit fixes a set of issues related to the use of the SQL
functions in this module when the caller is able to pass down raw page
data as input argument:
- The page size check was fuzzy in a couple of places, sometimes
looking after only a sub-range, but what we are looking for is an exact
match on BLCKSZ. After considering a few options here, I have settled
down to do a generalization of get_page_from_raw(). Most of the SQL
functions already used that, and this is not strictly required if not
accessing an 8-byte-wide value from a raw page, but this feels safer in
the long run for alignment-picky environment, particularly if a code
path begins to access such values. This also reduces the number of
strings that need to be translated.
- The BRIN function brin_page_items() uses a Relation but it did not
check the access method of the opened index, potentially leading to
crashes. All the other functions in need of a Relation already did
that.
- Some code paths could fail on elog(), but we should to use ereport()
for failures that can be triggered by the user.
Tests are added to stress all the cases that are fixed as of this
commit, with some junk raw pages (\set VERBOSITY ensures that this works
across all page sizes) and unexpected index types when functions open
relations.

Disallow execution of SPI functions during plperl function compilation.
Perl can be convinced to execute user-defined code during compilation
of a plperl function (or at least a plperlu function). That's not
such a big problem as long as the activity is confined within the
Perl interpreter, and it's not clear we could do anything about that
anyway. However, if such code tries to use plperl's SPI functions,
we have a bigger problem. In the first place, those functions are
likely to crash because current_call_data->prodesc isn't set up yet.
In the second place, because it isn't set up, we lack critical info
such as whether the function is supposed to be read-only. And in
the third place, this path allows code execution during function
validation, which is strongly discouraged because of the potential
for security exploits. Hence, reject execution of the SPI functions
until compilation is finished.
While here, add check_spi_usage_allowed() calls to various functions
that hadn't gotten the memo about checking that. I think that perhaps
plperl_sv_to_literal may have been intentionally omitted on the grounds
that it was safe at the time; but if so, the addition of transforms
functionality changed that. The others are more recently added and

Fix temporary object cleanup failing due to toast access without snapshot.

The bug is caused by RemoveTempRelationsCallback() not setting up a

init_toast_snapshot() could fail with the above error.
Most of the time however the the problem is masked due to cached catalog
snapshots being returned by GetOldestSnapshot(). But dropping an object can
cause catalog invalidations to be emitted. If no further catalog accesses are
necessary between the invalidation processing and the next toast datum
deletion, the bug becomes visible.
It's easy to miss this bug because it typically happens after clients
disconnect and the FATAL error just ends up in the log.
Luckily temporary table cleanup at the next use of the same temporary schema

Fix thinko in PQisBusy().
In commit
1f39a1c06 I made PQisBusy consider conn->write_failed, but
that is now looking like complete brain fade. In the first place, the
logic is quite wrong: it ought to be like "and not" rather than "or".
This meant that once we'd gotten into a write_failed state, PQisBusy
would always return true, probably causing the calling application to
iterate its loop until PQconsumeInput returns a hard failure thanks
to connection loss. That's not what we want: the intended behavior
is to return an error PGresult, which the application probably has
much cleaner support for.
But in the second place, checking write_failed here seems like the
wrong thing anyway. The idea of the write_failed mechanism is to
postpone handling of a write failure until we've read all we can from
the server; so that flag should not interfere with input-processing
behavior. (Compare
7247e243a.) What we *should* check for is
status = CONNECTION_BAD, ie, socket already closed. (Most places that
close the socket don't touch asyncStatus, but they do reset status.)
This primarily ensures that if PQisBusy() returns true then there is
an open socket, which is assumed by several call sites in our own
code, and probably other applications too.
While at it, fix a nearby thinko in libpq's my_sock_write: we should
only consult errno for res < 0, not res == 0. This is harmless since
pqsecure_raw_write would force errno to zero in such a case, but it
still could confuse readers.

Make pg_ctl stop/restart/promote recheck postmaster aliveness.
"pg_ctl stop/restart" checked that the postmaster PID is valid just
once, as a side-effect of sending the stop signal, and then would
wait-till-timeout for the postmaster.pid file to go away. This
neglects the case wherein the postmaster dies uncleanly after we
signal it. Similarly, once "pg_ctl promote" has sent the signal,
it'd wait for the corresponding on-disk state change to occur
even if the postmaster dies.
I'm not sure how we've managed not to notice this problem, but it
seems to explain slow execution of the 017_shm.pl test script on AIX
since commit
4fdbf9af5, which added a speculative "pg_ctl stop" with
the idea of making real sure that the postmaster isn't there. In the
test steps that kill-9 and then restart the postmaster, it's possible
to get past the initial signal attempt before kill() stops working
for the doomed postmaster. If that happens, pg_ctl waited till
PGCTLTIMEOUT before giving up ... and the buildfarm's AIX members
have that set very high.
To fix, include a "kill(pid, 0)" test (similar to what
postmaster_is_alive uses) in these wait loops, so that we'll
give up immediately if the postmaster PID disappears.
While here, I chose to refactor those loops out of where they were.
do_stop() and do_restart() can perfectly well share one copy of the
wait-for-stop loop, and it seems desirable to put a similar function
beside that for wait-for-promote.

Replace use of deprecated Python module distutils.sysconfig, take 2.
With Python 3.10, configure spits out warnings about the module
distutils.sysconfig being deprecated and scheduled for removal in
Python 3.12. Change the uses in configure to use the module sysconfig
instead. The logic stays largely the same, although we have to
rely on INCLUDEPY instead of the deprecated get_python_inc function.
Note that sysconfig exists since Python 2.7, so this moves the
minimum required version up from Python 2.6 (or 2.4, before v13).
Also, sysconfig didn't exist in Python 3.1, so the minimum 3.x

Fix failure to validate the result of select_common_type().
Although select_common_type() has a failure-return convention, an
apparent successful return just provides a type OID that *might* work
as a common supertype; we've not validated that the required casts
actually exist. In the mainstream use-cases that doesn't matter,
because we'll proceed to invoke coerce_to_common_type() on each input,
which will fail appropriately if the proposed common type doesn't
actually work. However, a few callers didn't read the (nonexistent)
fine print, and thought that if they got back a nonzero OID then the
coercions were sure to work.
This affects in particular the recently-added "anycompatible"
polymorphic types; we might think that a function/operator using
such types matches cases it really doesn't. A likely end result
of that is unexpected "ambiguous operator" errors, as for example
in bug #17387 from James Inform. Another, much older, case is that
the parser might try to transform an "x IN (list)" construct to
a ScalarArrayOpExpr even when the list elements don't actually have
a common supertype.
It doesn't seem desirable to add more checking to select_common_type
itself, as that'd just slow down the mainstream use-cases. Instead,
write a separate function verify_common_type that performs the
missing checks, and add a call to that where necessary. Likewise add
verify_common_type_from_oids to go with select_common_type_from_oids.
Back-patch to v13 where the "anycompatible" types came in. (The
symptom complained of in bug #17387 doesn't appear till v14, but
that's just because we didn't get around to converting || to use
anycompatible till then.) In principle the "x IN (list)" fix could
go back all the way, but I'm not currently convinced that it makes
much difference in real-world cases, so I won't bother for now.

Fix ordering of XIDs in ProcArrayApplyRecoveryInfo
Commit
8431e296ea reworked ProcArrayApplyRecoveryInfo to sort XIDs
before adding them to KnownAssignedXids. But the XIDs are sorted using
xidComparator, which compares the XIDs simply as uint32 values, not
logically. KnownAssignedXidsAdd() however expects XIDs in logical order,
and calls TransactionIdFollowsOrEquals() to enforce that. If there are
XIDs for which the two orderings disagree, an error is raised and the
recovery fails/restarts.
Hitting this issue is fairly easy - you just need two transactions, one
started before the 4B limit (e.g. XID
4294967290), the other sometime
after it (e.g. XID 1000). Logically (
4294967290 <= 1000) but when
compared using xidComparator we try to add them in the opposite order.
Which makes KnownAssignedXidsAdd() fail with an error like this:
ERROR: out-of-order XID insertion in KnownAssignedXids
This only happens during replica startup, while processing RUNNING_XACTS
records to build the snapshot. Once we reach STANDBY_SNAPSHOT_READY, we
skip these records. So this does not affect already running replicas,
but if you restart (or create) a replica while there are transactions
with XIDs for which the two orderings disagree, you may hit this.
Long-running transactions and frequent replica restarts increase the
likelihood of hitting this issue. Once the replica gets into this state,
it can't be started (even if the old transactions are terminated).
Fixed by sorting the XIDs logically - this is fine because we're dealing
with normal XIDs (because it's XIDs assigned to backends) and from the
same wraparound epoch (otherwise the backends could not be running at
the same time on the primary node). So there are no problems with the
triangle inequality, which is why xidComparator compares raw values.

Fix limitations on what SQL commands can be issued to a walsender.
In logical replication mode, a WalSender is supposed to be able
to execute any regular SQL command, as well as the special
replication commands. Poor design of the replication-command
parser caused it to fail in various cases, notably:
* semicolons embedded in a command, or multiple SQL commands
sent in a single message;
* dollar-quoted literals containing odd numbers of single
or double quote marks;
* commands starting with a comment.
The basic problem here is that we're trying to run repl_scanner.l
across the entire input string even when it's not a replication
command. Since repl_scanner.l does not understand all of the
token types known to the core lexer, this is doomed to have
failure modes.
We certainly don't want to make repl_scanner.l as big as scan.l,
so instead rejigger stuff so that we only lex the first token of
a non-replication command. That will usually look like an IDENT
to repl_scanner.l, though a comment would end up getting reported
as a '-' or '/' single-character token. If the token is a replication
command keyword, we push it back and proceed normally with repl_gram.y
parsing. Otherwise, we can drop out of exec_replication_command()
without examining the rest of the string.
(It's still theoretically possible for repl_scanner.l to fail on
the first token; but that could only happen if it's an unterminated
single- or double-quoted string, in which case you'd have gotten
largely the same error from the core lexer too.)
In this way, repl_gram.y isn't involved at all in handling general
SQL commands, so we can get rid of the SQLCmd node type. (In
the back branches, we can't remove it because renumbering enum
NodeTag would be an ABI break; so just leave it sit there unused.)
I failed to resist the temptation to clean up some other sloppy
coding in repl_scanner.l while at it. The only externally-visible
behavior change from that is it now accepts \r and \f as whitespace,
same as the core lexer.

Remember to reset yy_start state when firing up repl_scanner.l.
Without this, we get odd behavior when the previous cycle of
lexing exited in a non-default exclusive state. Every other
copy of this code is aware that it has to do BEGIN(INITIAL),
but repl_scanner.l did not get that memo.
The real-world impact of this is probably limited, since most
replication clients would abandon their connection after getting
a syntax error. Still, it's a bug.

Try to stabilize the reloptions test.
Where we test vacuum_truncate's effects, sometimes this is failing to
truncate as expected on the build farm. That could be explained by page
skipping, so disable it explicitly, with the theory that commit
fe246d1c
didn't go far enough.
Back-patch to 12, where the vacuum_truncate tests were added.

Fix psql \d's query for identifying parent triggers.
The original coding (from
c33869cc3) failed with "more than one row
returned by a subquery used as an expression" if there were unrelated
triggers of the same tgname on parent partitioned tables. (That's
possible because statement-level triggers don't get inherited.) Fix
by applying LIMIT 1 after sorting the candidates by inheritance level.
Also, wrap the subquery in a CASE so that we don't have to execute it at
all when the trigger is visibly non-inherited. Aside from saving some
cycles, this avoids the need for a confusing and undocumented NULLIF().
While here, tweak the format of the emitted query to look a bit
nicer for "psql -E", and add some explanation of this subquery,
because it badly needs it.
Report and patch by Justin Pryzby (with some editing by me).
Back-patch to v13 where the faulty code came in.

Avoid calling gettext() in signal handlers.
It seems highly unlikely that gettext() can be relied on to be
async-signal-safe. psql used to understand that, but someone got
it wrong long ago in the src/bin/scripts/ version of handle_sigint,
and then the bad idea was perpetuated when those two versions were
unified into src/fe_utils/cancel.c.
I'm unsure why there have not been field complaints about this
... maybe gettext() is signal-safe once it's translated at least
one message? But we have no business assuming any such thing.
In cancel.c (v13 and up), I preserved our ability to localize
"Cancel request sent" messages by invoking gettext() before
the signal handler is set up. In earlier branches I just made
src/bin/scripts/ not localize those messages, as psql did then.
(Just for extra unsafety, the src/bin/scripts/ version was
invoking fprintf() from a signal handler. Sigh.)
Noted while fixing signal-safety issues in PQcancel() itself.
Back-patch to all supported branches.

Avoid calling strerror[_r] in PQcancel().
PQcancel() is supposed to be safe to call from a signal handler,
and indeed psql uses it that way. All of the library functions
it uses are specified to be async-signal-safe by POSIX ...
except for strerror. Neither plain strerror nor strerror_r
are considered safe. When this code was written, back in the
dark ages, we probably figured "oh, strerror will just index
into a constant array of strings" ... but in any locale except C,
that's unlikely to be true. Probably the reason we've not heard
complaints is that (a) this error-handling code is unlikely to be
reached in normal use, and (b) in many scenarios, localized error
strings would already have been loaded, after which maybe it's
safe to call strerror here. Still, this is clearly unacceptable.
The best we can do without relying on strerror is to print the
decimal value of errno, so make it do that instead. (This is
probably not much loss of user-friendliness, given that it is
hard to get a failure here.)

Fix psql's tab-completion of enum label values.
Since enum labels have to be single-quoted, this part of the
tab completion machinery got side-swiped by commit
cd69ec66c.
A side-effect of that commit is that (at least with some versions
of Readline) the text string passed for completion will omit the
leading quote mark of the enum label literal. Libedit still acts
the same as before, though, so adapt COMPLETE_WITH_ENUM_VALUE so
that it can cope with either convention.
Also, when we fail to find any valid completion, set
rl_completion_suppress_quote = 1. Otherwise readline will
go ahead and append a closing quote, which is unwanted.
Per report from Peter Eisentraut. Back-patch to v13 where
cd69ec66c came in.

Build inherited extended stats on partitioned tables
Commit
859b3003de disabled building of extended stats for inheritance
trees, to prevent updating the same catalog row twice. While that
resolved the issue, it also means there are no extended stats for
declaratively partitioned tables, because there are no data in the
non-leaf relations.
That also means declaratively partitioned tables were not affected by
the issue
859b3003de addressed, which means this is a regression
affecting queries that calculate estimates for the whole inheritance
tree as a whole (which includes e.g. GROUP BY queries).
But because partitioned tables are empty, we can invert the condition
and build statistics only for the case with inheritance, without losing
anything. And we can consider them when calculating estimates.
It may be necessary to run ANALYZE on partitioned tables, to collect
proper statistics. For declarative partitioning there should no prior
statistics, and it might take time before autoanalyze is triggered. For
tables partitioned by inheritance the statistics may include data from
child relations (if built
859b3003de), contradicting the current code.
Report and patch by Justin Pryzby, minor fixes and cleanup by me.
Backpatch all the way back to PostgreSQL 10, where extended statistics
were introduced (same as
859b3003de).
