Preserve relfilenode of pg_largeobject and its index across pg_upgrade.
Commit
9a974cbcba005256a19991203583a94b4f9a21a9 did this for user
tables, but pg_upgrade treats pg_largeobject as a user table, and so
needs the same treatment. Without this fix, if you rewrite the
pg_largeobject table and then perform an upgrade with pg_upgrade, the
table will apparently be empty on the new cluster, while all of your
objects will end up with an orphaned file.
With this fix, instead of the old cluster's pg_largeobject files ending
up orphaned, the original files fro the new cluster do. That's mostly
harmless because we expect the table to be empty, but we might want

Fix alias matching in transformLockingClause().
When locking a specific named relation for a FOR [KEY] UPDATE/SHARE
clause, transformLockingClause() finds the relation to lock by
scanning the rangetable for an RTE with a matching eref->aliasname.
However, it failed to account for the visibility rules of a join RTE.
If a join RTE doesn't have a user-supplied alias, it will have a
generated eref->aliasname of "unnamed_join" that is not visible as a
relation name in the parse namespace. Such an RTE needs to be skipped,
otherwise it might be found in preference to a regular base relation
with a user-supplied alias of "unnamed_join", preventing it from being
locked.
In addition, if a join RTE doesn't have a user-supplied alias, but
does have a join_using_alias, then the RTE needs to be matched using
that alias rather than the generated eref->aliasname, otherwise a
misleading "relation not found" error will be reported rather than a

index_form_tuple() must do various memory allocations which are unrelated
to the storage of the final returned tuple. Although all of these

means that the memory for these pfree'd allocations won't be used again by
any other allocation due to generation.c's lack of freelists. This could
result in sorts used for building indexes exceeding maintenance_work_mem

itself into the generation context by adding a new version of

Remove size increase in ExprEvalStep caused by hashed saops
50e17ad28 increased the size of ExprEvalStep from 64 bytes up to 88 bytes.
Lots of effort was spent during the development of the current expression
evaluation code to make an instance of this struct as small as possible.
Making this struct larger than needed reduces CPU cache efficiency during
expression evaluation which causes noticeable slowdowns during query
execution.
In order to reduce the size of the struct, here we remove the fn_addr
field. The values from this field can be obtained via fcinfo, just with
some extra pointer dereferencing. The extra indirection does not seem to
cause any noticeable slowdowns.
Various other fields have been moved into the ScalarArrayOpExprHashTable
struct. These fields are only used when the ScalarArrayOpExprHashTable
pointer has already been dereferenced, so no additional pointer
dereferences occur for these. Here we also make hash_fcinfo_data the last
field in ScalarArrayOpExprHashTable so that we can avoid a further pointer
dereference to get the FunctionCallInfoBaseData. This also saves a call to
palloc().

Previously the timer was enabled whenever there were any pending stats after

To avoid that increase, leave the timer enabled until stats are reported,

libpq: Improve idle state handling in pipeline mode
We were going into IDLE state too soon when executing queries via
PQsendQuery in pipeline mode, causing several scenarios to misbehave in
different ways -- most notably, as reported by Daniele Varrazzo, that a
warning message is produced by libpq:
message type 0x33 arrived from server while idle
But it is also possible, if queries are sent and results consumed not in
lockstep, for the expected mediating NULL result values from PQgetResult
to be lost (a problem which has not been reported, but which is more
serious).
Fix this by introducing two new concepts: one is a command queue element
PGQUERY_CLOSE to tell libpq to wait for the CloseComplete server
response to the Close message that is sent by PQsendQuery. Because the
application is not expecting any PGresult from this, the mechanism to
consume it is a bit hackish.
The other concept, authored by Horiguchi-san, is a PGASYNC_PIPELINE_IDLE
state for libpq's state machine to differentiate "really idle" from
merely "the idle state that occurs in between reading results from the
server for elements in the pipeline". This makes libpq not go fully
IDLE when the libpq command queue contains entries; in normal cases, we
only go IDLE once at the end of the pipeline, when the server response
to the final SYNC message is received. (However, there are corner cases
it doesn't fix, such as terminating the query sequence by
PQsendFlushRequest instead of PQpipelineSync; this sort of scenario is
what requires PGQUERY_CLOSE bit above.)
This last bit helps make the libpq state machine clearer; in particular
we can get rid of an ugly hack in pqParseInput3 to avoid considering
IDLE as such when the command queue contains entries.
A new test mode is added to libpq_pipeline.c to tickle some related
problematic cases.

Harden dsm_impl.c against unexpected EEXIST.
Previously, we trusted the OS not to report EEXIST unless we'd passed in

shm_open() can in fact do that, causing us to crash because we didn't
ereport and then we blithely assumed the mapping was successful.
Let's treat EEXIST just like any other error, unless we're actually
trying to create a new segment. This applies to shm_open(), where this
behavior has been seen, and also to the equivalent operations for our
sysv and mmap modes just on principle.
Based on the underlying reason for the error, namely contention on a
lock file managed by Solaris librt for each distinct name, this problem
is only likely to happen on 15 and later, because the new shared memory
stats system produces shm_open() calls for the same path from
potentially large numbers of backends concurrently during
authentication. Earlier releases only shared memory segments between a
small number of parallel workers under one Gather node. You could

Autovacuum is now also triggered by INSERTs, so we can also

Fix visibility check when XID is committed in CLOG but not in procarray.
TransactionIdIsInProgress had a fast path to return 'false' if the
single-item CLOG cache said that the transaction was known to be
committed. However, that was wrong, because a transaction is first
marked as committed in the CLOG but doesn't become visible to others
until it has removed its XID from the proc array. That could lead to an
error:
ERROR: t_xmin is uncommitted in tuple to be updated
or for an UPDATE to go ahead without blocking, before the previous
UPDATE on the same row was made visible.
The window is usually very short, but synchronous replication makes it
much wider, because the wait for synchronous replica happens in that
window.
Another thing that makes it hard to hit is that it's hard to get such
a commit-in-progress transaction into the single item CLOG cache.
Normally, if you call TransactionIdIsInProgress on such a transaction,
it determines that the XID is in progress without checking the CLOG
and without populating the cache. One way to prime the cache is to
explicitly call pg_xact_status() on the XID. Another way is to use a
lot of subtransactions, so that the subxid cache in the proc array is
overflown, making TransactionIdIsInProgress rely on pg_subtrans and
CLOG checks.
This has been broken ever since it was introduced in 2008, but the race
condition is very hard to hit, especially without synchronous
replication. There were a couple of reports of the error starting from
summer 2021, but no one was able to find the root cause then.
TransactionIdIsKnownCompleted() is now unused. In 'master', remove it,
but I left it in place in backbranches in case it's used by extensions.
Also change pg_xact_status() to check TransactionIdIsInProgress().
Previously, it only checked the CLOG, and returned "committed" before
the transaction was actually made visible to other queries. Note that
this also means that you cannot use pg_xact_status() to reproduce the
bug anymore, even if the code wasn't fixed.

the pg_xact_status() change added by me.

This reverts commits

When determining whether an index update may be skipped by using
HOT, we can ignore attributes indexed only by BRIN indexes. There
are no index pointers to individual tuples in BRIN, and the page
range summary will be updated anyway as it relies on visibility
info.
This is partially incorrect - it's true BRIN indexes don't point to
individual tuples, so HOT chains are not an issue, but the visibitlity
info is not sufficient to keep the index up to date. This can easily
result in corrupted indexes, as demonstrated in the hackers thread.
This does not mean relaxing the HOT restrictions for BRIN is a lost
cause, but it needs to handle the two aspects (allowing HOT chains and
updating the page range summaries) as separate. But that requires a
major changes, and it's too late for that in the current dev cycle.

Fix cache look-up failures while applying changes in logical replication.
While building a new attrmap which maps partition attribute numbers to
remoterel's, we incorrectly update the map for dropped column attributes.
Later, it caused cache look-up failure when we tried to use the map to
fetch the information about attributes.
This also fixes the partition map cache invalidation which was using the
wrong type cast to fetch the entry. We were using stale partition map
entry after invalidation which leads to the assertion or cache look-up
failure.

Tweak behavior of psql --single-transaction depending on ON_ERROR_STOP
This commit, in completion of
157f873, forces a ROLLBACK for
--single-transaction only when ON_ERROR_STOP is used when one of the
steps defined by -f/-c fails. Hence, COMMIT is always used when
ON_ERROR_STOP is not set, ignoring the status code of the last action
taken in the set of switches specified by -c/-f (previously ROLLBACK
would have been issued even without ON_ERROR_STOP if the last step
failed, while COMMIT was issued if a step in-between failed as long as
the last step succeeded, leading to more inconsistency).
While on it, this adds much more test coverage in this area when not
using ON_ERROR_STOP with multiple switch patterns involving -c and -f
for query files, single queries and slash commands.
The behavior of ON_ERROR_STOP is arguably a bug, but there was no much
support for a backpatch to force a ROLLBACK on a step failure, so this
change is done only on HEAD for now.

Avoid ecpglib core dump with out-of-order operations.
If an application executed operations like EXEC SQL PREPARE
without having first established a database connection, it could
get a core dump instead of the expected clean failure. This
occurred because we did "pthread_getspecific(actual_connection_key)"
without ever having initialized the TSD key actual_connection_key.
The results of that are probably platform-specific, but at least
on Linux it often leads to a crash.
To fix, add calls to ecpg_pthreads_init() in the code paths that
might use actual_connection_key uninitialized. It's harmless
(and hopefully inexpensive) to do that more than once.

consequence that notices for a single statement were not shown until

Be more careful about GucSource for internally-driven GUC settings.
The original advice for hard-wired SetConfigOption calls was to use
PGC_S_OVERRIDE, particularly for PGC_INTERNAL GUCs. However,
that's really overkill for PGC_INTERNAL GUCs, since there is no
possibility that we need to override a user-provided setting.
Instead use PGC_S_DYNAMIC_DEFAULT in most places, so that the
value will appear with source = 'default' in pg_settings and thereby
not be shown by psql's new \dconfig command. The one exception is
that when changing in_hot_standby in a hot-standby session, we still
use PGC_S_OVERRIDE, because people felt that seeing that in \dconfig
would be a good thing.
Similarly use PGC_S_DYNAMIC_DEFAULT for the auto-tune value of
wal_buffers (if possible, that is if wal_buffers wasn't explicitly
set to -1), and for the typical 2MB value of max_stack_depth.
In combination these changes remove four not-very-interesting
entries from the typical output of \dconfig, all of which people
fingered as "why is that showing up?" in the discussion thread.

Restructure pg_upgrade output directories for better idempotence
38bfae3 has moved the contents written to files by pg_upgrade under a
new directory called pg_upgrade_output.d/ located in the new cluster's
data folder, and it used a simple structure made of two subdirectories
leading to a fixed structure: log/ and dump/. This design has made
weaker pg_upgrade on repeated calls, as we could get failures when
creating one or more of those directories, while potentially losing the
logs of a previous run (logs are retained automatically on failure, and
cleaned up on success unless --retain is specified). So a user would
need to clean up pg_upgrade_output.d/ as an extra step for any repeated
calls of pg_upgrade. The most common scenario here is --check followed
by the actual upgrade, but one could see a failure when specifying an
incorrect input argument value. Removing entirely the logs would have
the disadvantage of removing all the past information, even if --retain
was specified at some past step.
This result is annoying for a lot of users and automated upgrade flows.
So, rather than requiring a manual removal of pg_upgrade_output.d/, this
redesigns the set of output directories in a more dynamic way, based on
a suggestion from Tom Lane and Daniel Gustafsson. pg_upgrade_output.d/
is still the base path, but a second directory level is added, mostly
named after an ISO-8601-formatted timestamp (in short human-readable,
with milliseconds appended to the name to avoid any conflicts). The
logs and dumps are saved within the same subdirectories as previously,
as of log/ and dump/, but these are located inside the subdirectory
named after the timestamp.
The logs of a given run are removed only after a successful run if
--retain is not used, and pg_upgrade_output.d/ is kept if there are any
logs from a previous run. Note that previously, pg_upgrade would have
kept the logs even after a successful --check but that was inconsistent
compared to the case without --check when using --retain. The code in
charge of the removal of the output directories is now refactored into a
single routine.
Two TAP tests are added with some --check commands (one failure case and
one success case), to look after the issue fixed here. Note that the
tests had to be tweaked a bit to fit with the new directory structure so
as it can find any logs generated on failure. This is still going to
require a change in the buildfarm client for the case where pg_upgrade
is tested without the TAP test, though, but I'll tackle that with a
separate patch where needed.

Harden Memoization code against broken data types
Bug #17512 highlighted that a suitably broken data type could cause the

someway non-deterministic based on their input values. Such a data type
could cause a crash of the backend due to some code which assumes that
we'll always find a hash table entry corresponding to an item in the
Memoize LRU list.
Here we remove the assumption that we'll always find the entry
