Fix psql's single transaction mode on client-side errors with -c/-f switches
psql --single-transaction is able to handle multiple -c and -f switches
in a single transaction since
d5563d7d, but this had the surprising
behavior of forcing a transaction COMMIT even if psql failed with an
error in the client (for example incorrect path given to \copy), which
would generate an error, but still commit any changes that were already
applied in the backend. This commit makes the behavior more consistent,
by enforcing a transaction ROLLBACK if any commands fail, both
client-side and backend-side, so as no changes are applied if one error
happens in any of them.
Some tests are added on HEAD to provide some coverage about all that.
Backend-side errors are unreliable as IPC::Run can complain on SIGPIPE
if psql quits before reading a query result, but that should work
properly in the case where any errors come from psql itself, which is
what the original report is about.

Revert changes to CONCURRENTLY that "sped up" Xmin advance
This reverts commit
d9d076222f5b "VACUUM: ignore indexing operations
with CONCURRENTLY".
These changes caused indexes created with the CONCURRENTLY option to
miss heap tuples that were HOT-updated and HOT-pruned during the index
creation. Before these changes, HOT pruning would have been prevented
by the Xmin of the transaction creating the index, but because this
change was precisely to allow the Xmin to move forward ignoring that
backend, now other backends scanning the table can prune them. This is
not a problem for VACUUM (which requires a lock that conflicts with a
CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY operation), but HOT-prune can definitely
occur. In other words, Xmin advancement was sped up, but at the cost of
corrupting the resulting index.
Regrettably, this means that the new feature in PG14 that RIC/CIC on
very large tables no longer force VACUUM to retain very old tuples goes
away. We might try to implement it again in a later release, but for
now the risk of indexes missing tuples is too high and there's no easy
fix.

Remove misguided SSL key file ownership check in libpq.
Commits
a59c79564 et al. tried to sync libpq's SSL key file
permissions checks with what we've used for years in the backend.
We did not intend to create any new failure cases, but it turns out
we did: restricting the key file's ownership breaks cases where the
client is allowed to read a key file despite not having the identical
UID. In particular a client running as root used to be able to read
someone else's key file; and having seen that I suspect that there are
other, less-dubious use cases that this restriction breaks on some
platforms.
We don't really need an ownership check, since if we can read the key
file despite its having restricted permissions, it must have the right
ownership --- under normal conditions anyway, and the point of this
patch is that any additional corner cases where that works should be
deemed allowable, as they have been historically. Hence, just drop
the ownership check, and rearrange the permissions check to get rid
of its faulty assumption that geteuid() can't be zero. (Note that the
comparable backend-side code doesn't have to cater for geteuid() == 0,
since the server rejects that very early on.)
This does have the end result that the permissions safety check used
for a root user's private key file is weaker than that used for
anyone else's. While odd, root really ought to know what she's doing
with file permissions, so I think this is acceptable.

Show 'AS "?column?"' explicitly when it's important.
ruleutils.c was coded to suppress the AS label for a SELECT output
expression if the column name is "?column?", which is the parser's
fallback if it can't think of something better. This is fine, and
avoids ugly clutter, so long as (1) nothing further up in the parse
tree relies on that column name or (2) the same fallback would be
assigned when the rule or view definition is reloaded. Unfortunately
(2) is far from certain, both because ruleutils.c might print the
expression in a different form from how it was originally written
and because FigureColname's rules might change in future releases.
So we shouldn't rely on that.
Detecting exactly whether there is any outer-level use of a SELECT
column name would be rather expensive. This patch takes the simpler
approach of just passing down a flag indicating whether there *could*
be any outer use; for example, the output column names of a SubLink
are not referenceable, and we also do not care about the names exposed
by the right-hand side of a setop. This is sufficient to suppress
unwanted clutter in all but one case in the regression tests. That
seems like reasonable evidence that it won't be too much in users'
faces, while still fixing the cases we need to fix.

Fix control file update done in restartpoints still running after promotion
If a cluster is promoted (aka the control file shows a state different
than DB_IN_ARCHIVE_RECOVERY) while CreateRestartPoint() is still

"checkPoint" and "checkPointCopy" but still do the recycling and/or

a follow-up restart attempting crash recovery to fail with a PANIC on a
missing checkpoint record if the end-of-recovery checkpoint triggered by
the promotion did not complete while the cluster abruptly stopped or
crashed before the completion of this checkpoint. The PANIC would be
caused by the redo LSN referred in the control file as located in a
segment already gone, recycled by the previous restartpoint with
"checkPoint" out-of-sync in the control file.
This commit fixes the update of the control file during restartpoints so

configure: don't probe for libldap_r if libldap is 2.5 or newer.
In OpenLDAP 2.5 and later, libldap itself is always thread-safe and
there's never a libldap_r. Our existing coding dealt with that
by assuming it wouldn't find libldap_r if libldap is thread-safe.
But that rule fails to cope if there are multiple OpenLDAP versions
visible, as is likely to be the case on macOS in particular. We'd
end up using shiny new libldap in the backend and a hoary libldap_r
in libpq.
Instead, once we've found libldap, check if it's >= 2.5 (by
probing for a function introduced then) and don't bother looking
for libldap_r if so. While one can imagine library setups that
this'd still give the wrong answer for, they seem unlikely to
occur in practice.

the archives the second standby feeds on. So, it could be possible that
the second standby selects an incorrect timeline, without restoring a
history file at all.
This commits adds a wait phase to make sure that the history file
required by the second standby is archived before this cluster is
created. This relies on poll_query_until() with pg_stat_file() and an
absolute path, something not supported in REL_10_STABLE.
While on it, this adds a new test to check that the history file has
been restored by looking at the logs of the second standby. This
ensures that a RECOVERYHISTORY, whose removal needs to be checked,
is created in the first place. This should make the test more robust.
This test has been introduced by
df86e52, but it came in light as an
effect of the bug fixed by
acf1dd42, where the extra restore_command
calls made the test much slower.

pageinspect: Fix handling of all-zero pages
Getting from get_raw_page() an all-zero page is considered as a valid
case by the buffer manager and it can happen for example when finding a
corrupted page with zero_damaged_pages enabled (using zero_damaged_pages
to look at corrupted pages happens), or after a crash when a relation
file is extended before any WAL for its new data is generated (before a
vacuum or autovacuum job comes in to do some cleanup).
However, all the functions of pageinspect, as of the index AMs (except
hash that has its own idea of new pages), heap, the FSM or the page
header have never worked with all-zero pages, causing various crashes
when going through the page internals.
This commit changes all the pageinspect functions to be compliant with
all-zero pages, where the choice is made to return NULL or no rows for
SRFs when finding a new page. get_raw_page() still works the same way,
returning a batch of zeros in the bytea of the page retrieved. A hard
error could be used but NULL, while more invasive, is useful when
scanning relation files in full to get a batch of results for a single
relation in one query. Tests are added for all the code paths
impacted.

Prevent access to no-longer-pinned buffer in heapam_tuple_lock().
heap_fetch() used to have a "keep_buf" parameter that told it to return
ownership of the buffer pin to the caller after finding that the
requested tuple TID exists but is invisible to the specified snapshot.
This was thoughtlessly removed in commit
5db6df0c0, which broke
heapam_tuple_lock() (formerly EvalPlanQualFetch) because that function
needs to do more accesses to the tuple even if it's invisible. The net
effect is that we would continue to touch the page for a microsecond or
two after releasing pin on the buffer. Usually no harm would result;
but if a different session decided to defragment the page concurrently,
we could see garbage data and mistakenly conclude that there's no newer
tuple version to chain up to. (It's hard to say whether this has
happened in the field. The bug was actually found thanks to a later
change that allowed valgrind to detect accesses to non-pinned buffers.)
The most reasonable way to fix this is to reintroduce keep_buf,
although I made it behave slightly differently: buffer ownership
is passed back only if there is a valid tuple at the requested TID.
In HEAD, we can just add the parameter back to heap_fetch().
To avoid an API break in the back branches, introduce an additional
function heap_fetch_extended() in those branches.
In HEAD there is an additional, less obvious API change: tuple->t_data
will be set to NULL in all cases where buffer ownership is not returned,
in particular when the tuple exists but fails the time qual (and
!keep_buf). This is to defend against any other callers attempting to
access non-pinned buffers. We concluded that making that change in back
branches would be more likely to introduce problems than cure any.
In passing, remove a comment about heap_fetch that was obsoleted by
9a8ee1dc6.

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.

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.
