Remove PHOT from our default timezone abbreviations list.
Debian recently decided to split out a bunch of "obsolete" timezone
names into a new tzdata-legacy package, which isn't installed by
default. One of these zone names is Pacific/Enderbury, and that
breaks our regression tests (on --with-system-tzdata builds)
because our default timezone abbreviations list defines PHOT as
Pacific/Enderbury.
Pacific/Enderbury got renamed to Pacific/Kanton in tzdata 2021b,
so that in distros that still have this entry it's just a symlink
to Pacific/Kanton anyway. So one answer would be to redefine PHOT
as Pacific/Kanton. However, then things would fail if the
installed tzdata predates 2021b, which is recent enough that that
seems like a real problem.
Instead, let's just remove PHOT from the default list. That seems
likely to affect nobody in the real world, because (a) it was an
abbreviation that the tzdb crew made up in the first place, with
no evidence of real-world usage, and (b) the total human population
of the Phoenix Islands is less than two dozen persons, per Wikipedia.
If anyone does use this zone abbreviation they can easily put it back
via a custom abbreviations file.

Fix minmax-multi on infinite date/timestamp values
Make sure that infinite values in date/timestamp columns are treated as
if in infinite distance. Infinite values should not be merged with other
values, leaving them as outliers. The code however returned distance 0

not break the index (i.e. it still produces correct query results), it

We don't need explicit handling of infinite date/timestamp values when
calculating distances, because those values are represented as extreme
but regular values (e.g. INT64_MIN/MAX for the timestamp type).
We don't need an exact distance, just a value that is much larger than
distanced between regular values. With the added cast to double values,
we can simply subtract the values.
The regression test queries a value in the "gap" and checks the range
was properly eliminated by the BRIN index.

Fix overflow when calculating timestamp distance in BRIN
When calculating distances for timestamp values for BRIN minmax-multi
indexes, we need to be careful about overflows for extreme values. If
the value overflows into a negative value, the index may be inefficient.
The new regression test checks this for the timestamp type by adding a
table with enough values to force range compaction/merging. The values
are close to min/max, which means a risk of overflow.
Fixed by converting the int64 values to double first, before calculating
the distance. This prevents the overflow. We may lose some precision, of
course, but that's good enough. In the worst case we build a slightly
less efficient index, but for large distances this won't matter.
This only affects minmax-multi indexes on timestamp columns, with ranges

Doc: remove misleading info about ecpg's CONNECT/DISCONNECT DEFAULT.
As far as I can see, ecpg has no notion of a "default" open
connection. You can do "CONNECT TO DEFAULT" but that just specifies
letting libpq use all its default connection parameters --- the
resulting connection is not special subsequently. In particular,
SET CONNECTION = DEFAULT and DISCONNECT DEFAULT simply act on a
connection named DEFAULT, if you've made one; they do not have
special lookup rules. But the documentation of these commands
makes it look like they do.
Simplest fix, I think, is just to remove the paras suggesting that
DEFAULT is special here.
Also, SET CONNECTION *does* have one special lookup rule, which
is that it recognizes CURRENT as an alias for the currently selected
connection. SET CONNECTION = CURRENT is a no-op, so it's pretty
useless, but nonetheless it does something different from selecting
a connection by name; so we'd better document it.

Fix problems when a plain-inheritance parent table is excluded.
When an UPDATE/DELETE/MERGE's target table is an old-style
inheritance tree, it's possible for the parent to get excluded
from the plan while some children are not. (I believe this is
only possible if we can prove that a CHECK ... NO INHERIT
constraint on the parent contradicts the query WHERE clause,
so it's a very unusual case.) In such a case, ExecInitModifyTable
mistakenly concluded that the first surviving child is the target
table, leading to at least two bugs:
1. The wrong table's statement-level triggers would get fired.
2. In v16 and up, it was possible to fail with "invalid perminfoindex
0 in RTE with relid nnnn" due to the child RTE not having permissions
data included in the query plan. This was hard to reproduce reliably
because it did not occur unless the update triggered some non-HOT
index updates.
In v14 and up, this is easy to fix by defining ModifyTable.rootRelation
to be the parent RTE in plain inheritance as well as partitioned cases.
While the wrong-triggers bug also appears in older branches, the
relevant code in both the planner and executor is quite a bit
different, so it would take a good deal of effort to develop and
test a suitable patch. Given the lack of field complaints about the
trigger issue, I'll desist for now. (Patching v11 for this seems
unwise anyway, given that it will have no more releases after next
month.)

jit: Support opaque pointers in LLVM 16.
Remove use of LLVMGetElementType() and provide the type of all pointers
to LLVMBuildXXX() functions when emitting IR, as required by modern LLVM
versions[1].
* For LLVM <= 14, we'll still use the old LLVMBuildXXX() functions.
* For LLVM == 15, we'll continue to do the same, explicitly opting
out of opaque pointer mode.
* For LLVM >= 16, we'll use the new LLVMBuildXXX2() functions that take
the extra type argument.
The difference is hidden behind some new IR emitting wrapper functions
l_load(), l_gep(), l_call() etc. The change is mostly mechanical,
except that at each site the correct type had to be provided.
In some places we needed to do some extra work to get functions types,
including some new wrappers for C++ APIs that are not yet exposed by in
LLVM's C API, and some new "example" functions in llvmjit_types.c
because it's no longer possible to start from the function pointer type
and ask for the function type.
Back-patch to 12, because it's a little tricker in 11 and we agreed not
to put the latest LLVM support into the upcoming final release of 11.

Count write times when extending relation files for shared buffers
Relation files extended multiple blocks at a time have been counting the
number of blocks written, but forgot that to increment the write time in
this case, as write and relation extension are treated as two different

Avoid calling proc_exit() in processes forked by system().
The SIGTERM handler for the startup process immediately calls
proc_exit() for the duration of the restore_command, i.e., a call
to system(). This system() call forks a new process to execute the
shell command, and this child process inherits the parent's signal
handlers. If both the parent and child processes receive SIGTERM,
both will attempt to call proc_exit(). This can end badly. For
example, both processes will try to remove themselves from the
PGPROC shared array.
To fix this problem, this commit adds a check in
StartupProcShutdownHandler() to see whether MyProcPid == getpid().
If they match, this is the parent process, and we can proc_exit()
like before. If they do not match, this is a child process, and we
just emit a message to STDERR (in a signal safe manner) and
_exit(), thereby skipping any problematic exit callbacks.
This commit also adds checks in proc_exit(), ProcKill(), and
AuxiliaryProcKill() that verify they are not being called within
such child processes.

Ensure we have a snapshot while dropping ON COMMIT DROP temp tables.
Dropping a temp table could entail TOAST table access to clean out
toasted catalog entries, such as large pg_constraint.conbin strings
for complex CHECK constraints. If we did that via ON COMMIT DROP,
we triggered the assertion in init_toast_snapshot(), because
there was no provision for setting up a snapshot for the drop
actions. Fix that.
(I assume here that the adjacent truncation actions for ON COMMIT
DELETE ROWS don't have a similar problem: it doesn't seem like
nontransactional truncations would need to touch any toasted fields.
If that proves wrong, we could refactor a bit to have the same

Move extra code out of the Pre/PostRestoreCommand() section.
If SIGTERM is received within this section, the startup process
will immediately proc_exit() in the signal handler, so it is
inadvisable to include any more code than is required there (as
such code is unlikely to be compatible with doing proc_exit() in a

Update the documentation on recovering from (M)XID exhaustion.
The old documentation encourages entering single-user mode for no
reason, which is a bad plan in most cases. Instead, discourage users
from doing that, and explain the limited cases in which it may be
desirable.
The old documentation claims that running VACUUM as anyone but the
superuser can't possibly work, which is not really true, because it
might be that some other user has enough permissions to VACUUM all
the tables that matter. Weaken the language just a bit.
The old documentation claims that you can't run any commands
when near XID exhaustion, which is false because you can still
run commands that don't require an XID, like a SELECT without a
locking clause.
The old documentation doesn't clearly explain that it's a good idea
to get rid of prepared transactons, long-running transactions, and
replication slots that are preventing (M)XID horizon advancement.
Spell out the steps to do that.
Also, discourage the use of VACUUM FULL and VACUUM FREEZE in
this type of scenario.

Try to handle torn reads of pg_control in frontend.

For now, we'll try to tolerate this by retrying up to 10 times if the

bad checksum. This is not guaranteed to reach the right conclusion, but

Fix bulk table extension when copying into multiple partitions
When COPYing into a partitioned table that does now permit the use of
table_multi_insert(), we could error out with
ERROR: could not read block NN in file "base/...": read only 0 of 8192 bytes
because BulkInsertState->next_free was not reset between partitions. This
problem occurred only when not able to use table_multi_insert(), as a
dedicated BulkInsertState for each partition is used in that case.
The bug was introduced in
00d1e02be24, but it was hard to hit at that point,
as commonly bulk relation extension is not used when not using
table_multi_insert(). It became more likely after
82a4edabd27, which expanded
the use of bulk extension.
To fix the bug, reset the bulk relation extension state in BulkInsertState in
ReleaseBulkInsertStatePin(). That was added (in
b1ecb9b3fcf) to tackle a very
similar issue. Obviously the name is not quite correct, but there might be
external callers, and bulk insert state needs to be reset in precisely in the
situations that ReleaseBulkInsertStatePin() already needed to be called.
Medium term the better fix likely is to disallow reusing BulkInsertState
across relations.
Add a test that, without the fix, reproduces #18130 in most
configurations. The test also catches the problem fixed in

Fix incorrect step generation in HASH partition pruning
get_steps_using_prefix_recurse() incorrectly assumed that it could stop
recursive processing of the 'prefix' list when cur_keyno was one before
the step_lastkeyno. Since hash partition pruning can prune using IS
NULL quals, and these IS NULL quals are not present in the 'prefix'
list, then that logic could cause more levels of recursion than what is
needed and lead to there being no more items in the 'prefix' list to
process. This would manifest itself as a crash in some code that
expected the 'start' ListCell not to be NULL.
Here we adjust the logic so that instead of stopping recursion at 1 key
before the step_lastkeyno, we just look at the llast(prefix) item and
ensure we only recursively process up until just before whichever the last
key is. This effectively allows keys to be missing in the 'prefix' list.
This change does mean that step_lastkeyno is no longer needed, so we
remove that from the static functions. I also spent quite some time

are no other issues. That resulted in the irresistible temptation of

downsizing a host, as Ethan Mertz originally reported.
This relies on
bae868caf222, as the WAL reader routines now do the
memory allocation required for a record only once its header has been
fully read and validated, making xl_tot_len trustable. Making the WAL
reader react differently on out-of-memory or bogus record data would
require ABI changes, so this is the safest choice for stable branches.
Also, it is worth noting that
3f1ce973467a has been using a plain
palloc() in this code for some time now.
Thanks to Noah Misch and Thomas Munro for the discussion.
Like the other commit, backpatch down to 12, leaving out v11 that will
be EOL'd soon. The behavior of considering a failed allocation as bogus
data comes originally from
0ffe11abd3a0, where the record length
retrieved from its header was not entirely trustable.

Fix omission of column-level privileges in selective pg_restore.
In a selective restore, ACLs for a table should be dumped if the
table is selected to be dumped. However, if the table has both
table-level and column-level ACLs, only the table-level ACL was
restored. This happened because _tocEntryRequired assumed that
an ACL could have only one dependency (the one on its table),
and punted if there was more than one. But since commit
ea9125304,
column-level ACLs also depend on the table-level ACL if any, to
ensure correct ordering in parallel restores. To fix, adjust the
logic in _tocEntryRequired to ignore dependencies on ACLs.
I extended a test case in 002_pg_dump.pl so that it purports to
test for this; but in fact the test passes even without the fix.
That's because this bug only manifests during a selective restore,
while the scenarios 002_pg_dump.pl tests include only selective dumps.
Perhaps somebody would like to extend the script so that it can test
scenarios including selective restore, but I'm not touching that.

Fix datalen calculation in tsvectorrecv().
After receiving position data for a lexeme, tsvectorrecv()
advanced its "datalen" value by (npos+1)*sizeof(WordEntry)
where the correct calculation is (npos+1)*sizeof(WordEntryPos).
This accidentally failed to render the constructed tsvector
invalid, but it did result in leaving some wasted space
approximately equal to the space consumed by the position data.
That could have several bad effects:
* Disk space is wasted if the received tsvector is stored into a
table as-is.
* A legal tsvector could get rejected with "maximum total lexeme
length exceeded" if the extra space pushes it over the MAXSTRPOS
limit.
* In edge cases, the finished tsvector could be assigned a length
larger than the allocated size of its palloc chunk, conceivably
leading to SIGSEGV when the tsvector gets copied somewhere else.
The odds of a field failure of this sort seem low, though valgrind
testing could probably have found this.
While we're here, let's express the calculation as
"sizeof(uint16) + npos * sizeof(WordEntryPos)" to avoid the type
pun implicit in the "npos + 1" formulation. It's not wrong
given that WordEntryPos had better be 2 bytes to avoid padding
problems, but it seems clearer this way.

Suppress macOS warnings about duplicate libraries in link commands.
As of Xcode 15 (macOS Sonoma), the linker complains about duplicate
references to the same library. We see warnings about libpgport and
libpgcommon being duplicated in many client executables. This is a
consequence of the hack introduced in commit
6b7ef076b to list
libpgport before libpq while not removing it from $(LIBS).
(Commit
8396447cd later applied the same rule to libpgcommon.)
The concern in
6b7ef076b was to ensure that the client executable
wouldn't unintentionally depend on pgport functions from libpq.
That concern is obsolete on any platform for which we can do symbol
export control, because if we can then the pgport functions in libpq
won't be exposed anyway. Hence, we can fix this problem by just
removing libpgport and libpgcommon from $(libpq_pgport), and letting
clients depend on the occurrences in $(LIBS).
In the back branches, do that only on macOS (which we know has
symbol export control). In HEAD, let's be more aggressive and
remove the extra libraries everywhere. The only still-supported
platforms that lack export control are MinGW/Cygwin, and it
doesn't seem worth sweating over ABI stability details for those
(or if somebody does care, it'd probably be possible to perform
symbol export control for those too). As well as being simpler,
this might give some microscopic improvement in build time.
The meson build system is not changed here, as it doesn't have
this particular disease, though it does have some related issues
that we'll fix separately.

Fix btmarkpos/btrestrpos array key wraparound bug.
nbtree's mark/restore processing failed to correctly handle an edge case
involving array key advancement and related search-type scan key state.
Scans with ScalarArrayScalarArrayOpExpr quals requiring mark/restore
processing (for a merge join) could incorrectly conclude that an
affected array/scan key must not have advanced during the time between
marking and restoring the scan's position.
As a result of all this, array key handling within btrestrpos could skip
a required call to _bt_preprocess_keys(). This confusion allowed later
primitive index scans to overlook tuples matching the true current array
keys. The scan's search-type scan keys would still have spurious values
corresponding to the final array element(s) -- not values matching the
first/now-current array element(s).
To fix, remember that "array key wraparound" has taken place during the
ongoing btrescan in a flag variable stored in the scan's state, and use
that information at the point where btrestrpos decides if another call
to _bt_preprocess_keys is required.

70bc5833, which taught nbtree to handle array keys
during mark/restore processing, but missed this subtlety. That commit
was itself a bug fix for an issue in commit

I'm not sure that the expression-vs-column sloppiness leads

Fix another bug in parent page splitting during GiST index build.
Yet another bug in the ilk of commits
a7ee7c851 and
741b88435. In
741b88435, we took care to clear the memorized location of the
downlink when we split the parent page, because splitting the parent
page can move the downlink. But we missed that even *updating* a tuple
on the parent can move it, because updating a tuple on a gist page is
implemented as a delete+insert, so the updated tuple gets moved to the
end of the page.
This commit fixes the bug in two different ways (belt and suspenders):
1. Clear the downlink when we update a tuple on the parent page, even
if it's not split. This the same approach as in commits
a7ee7c851
and
741b88435.
I also noticed that gistFindCorrectParent did not clear the
'downlinkoffnum' when it stepped to the right sibling. Fix that
too, as it seems like a clear bug even though I haven't been able
to find a test case to hit that.
2. Change gistFindCorrectParent so that it treats 'downlinkoffnum'
merely as a hint. It now always first checks if the downlink is
still at that location, and if not, it scans the page like before.
That's more robust if there are still more cases where we fail to
clear 'downlinkoffnum' that we haven't yet uncovered. With this,
it's no longer necessary to meticulously clear 'downlinkoffnum',
so this makes the previous fixes unnecessary, but I didn't revert
them because it still seems nice to clear it when we know that the
downlink has moved.
Also add the test case using the same test data that Alexander
posted. I tried to reduce it to a smaller test, and I also tried to
reproduce this with different test data, but I was not able to, so
let's just include what we have.

Fix behavior of "force" in pgstat_report_wal()
As implemented in
5891c7a8ed8f, setting "force" to true in
pgstat_report_wal() causes the routine to not wait for the pgstat
shmem lock if it cannot be acquired, in which case the WAL and I/O
statistics finish by not being flushed. The origin of the confusion
comes from pgstat_flush_wal() and pgstat_flush_io(), that use "nowait"
as sole argument. The I/O stats are new in v16.
This is the opposite behavior of what has been used in
pgstat_report_stat(), where "force" is the opposite of "nowait". In
this case, when "force" is true, the routine sets "nowait" to false,
which would cause the routine to wait for the pgstat shmem lock,
ensuring that the stats are always flushed. When "force" is false,
"nowait" is set to true, and the stats would only not be flushed if the
pgstat shmem lock can be acquired, returning immediately without
flushing the stats if the lock cannot be acquired.
This commit changes pgstat_report_wal() so as "force" has the same
behavior as in pgstat_report_stat(). There are currently three callers
of pgstat_report_wal():
- Two in the checkpointer where force=true during a shutdown and the
main checkpointer loop. Now the code behaves so as the stats are always

- One in the main loop of the bgwriter, where force=false. Now the code
behaves so as the stats would not be flushed if the pgstat shmem lock
could not be acquired.

bae868ca.
bae868ca removed a check that was still needed. If you had an
xl_tot_len at the end of a page that was too small for a record header,
but not big enough to span onto the next page, we'd immediately perform
the CRC check using a bogus large length. Because of arbitrary coding
differences between the CRC implementations on different platforms,
nothing very bad happened on common modern systems. On systems using
the _sb8.c fallback we could segfault.
Restore that check, add a new assertion and supply a test for that case.
Back-patch to 12, like
bae868ca.
