Update our mapping of Windows time zone names some more.
Per discussion, let's just follow CLDR's default zone mappings
faithfully. There are two changes here that are clear improvements:
* 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.
The rest of these changes look like they're choosing the most populous
IANA zone as representative. Whatever the details, we're just going
to say "if you don't like this mapping, complain to CLDR".

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.

Non-cosmetic changes fall into four main categories:
* Flat-out errors:
US/Aleutan doesn't exist
America/Salvador doesn't exist
Asia/Baku is wrong for Yerevan
Asia/Dhaka (Bangladesh) is wrong for Astana (Kazakhstan)
Europe/Bucharest is wrong for Chisinau

Asia/Karachi is wrong for Tashkent
Etc/UTC+12 doesn't exist

* Judgment calls:
(These changes follow CLDR's choices, except for the first one)
Use Europe/London for "Greenwich Standard Time", since that seems much
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
Time".
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".
* New Windows zone names:
"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"
Some of these replace older spellings, but I kept the older spellings
too in case our code runs on a machine with the older data.
* Replace aliases (tzdb Links) with underlying city-named zones:

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.

Release memory allocated by dependency_degree
Calculating degree of a functional dependency may allocate a lot of

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

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.

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).

Send NOTIFY signals during CommitTransaction.
Formerly, we sent signals for outgoing NOTIFY messages within
ProcessCompletedNotifies, which was also responsible for sending
relevant ones of those messages to our connected client. It therefore
had to run during the main-loop processing that occurs just before
going idle. This arrangement had two big disadvantages:
* Now that procedures allow intra-command COMMITs, it would be
useful to send NOTIFYs to other sessions immediately at COMMIT
(though, for reasons of wire-protocol stability, we still shouldn't
forward them to our client until end of command).
* Background processes such as replication workers would not send
NOTIFYs at all, since they never execute the client communication
loop. We've had requests to allow triggers running in replication
workers to send NOTIFYs, so that's a problem.
To fix these things, move transmission of outgoing NOTIFY signals
into AtCommit_Notify, where it will happen during CommitTransaction.
Also move the possible call of asyncQueueAdvanceTail there, to
ensure we don't bloat the async SLRU if a background worker sends
many NOTIFYs with no one listening.
We can also drop the call of asyncQueueReadAllNotifications,
allowing ProcessCompletedNotifies to go away entirely. That's
because commit
790026972 added a call of ProcessNotifyInterrupt
adjacent to PostgresMain's call of ProcessCompletedNotifies,
and that does its own call of asyncQueueReadAllNotifications,
meaning that we were uselessly doing two such calls (inside two
separate transactions) whenever inbound notify signals coincided
with an outbound notify. We need only set notifyInterruptPending
to ensure that ProcessNotifyInterrupt runs, and we're done.
The existing documentation suggests that custom background workers
should call ProcessCompletedNotifies if they want to send NOTIFY
messages. To avoid an ABI break in the back branches, reduce it
to an empty routine rather than removing it entirely. Removal
will occur in v15.
Although the problems mentioned above have existed for awhile,
I don't feel comfortable back-patching this any further than v13.
There was quite a bit of churn in adjacent code between 12 and 13.
At minimum we'd have to also backpatch

Fix error handling with threads on OOM in ECPG connection logic
An out-of-memory failure happening when allocating the structures to

Rather than just unlocking the mutex, which would leave the static list

Fix some anomalies with NO SCROLL cursors.
We have long forbidden fetching backwards from a NO SCROLL cursor,
but the prohibition didn't extend to cases in which we rewind the
query altogether and then re-fetch forwards. I think the reason is
that this logic was mainly meant to protect plan nodes that can't
be run in the reverse direction. However, re-reading the query output
is problematic if the query is volatile (which includes SELECT FOR
UPDATE, not just queries with volatile functions): the re-read can
produce different results, which confuses the cursor navigation logic
completely. Another reason for disliking this approach is that some
code paths will either fetch backwards or rewind-and-fetch-forwards
depending on the distance to the target row; so that seemingly
identical use-cases may or may not draw the "cursor can only scan
forward" error. Hence, let's clean things up by disallowing rewind
as well as fetch-backwards in a NO SCROLL cursor.
Ordinarily we'd only make such a definitional change in HEAD, but
there is a third reason to consider this change now. Commit
ba2c6d6ce
created some new user-visible anomalies for non-scrollable cursors
WITH HOLD, in that navigation in the cursor result got confused if the
cursor had been partially read before committing. The only good way
to resolve those anomalies is to forbid rewinding such a cursor, which
allows removal of the incorrect cursor state manipulations that
ba2c6d6ce added to PersistHoldablePortal.
To minimize the behavioral change in the back branches (including
v14), refuse to rewind a NO SCROLL cursor only when it has a holdStore,
ie has been held over from a previous transaction due to WITH HOLD.
This should avoid breaking most applications that have been sloppy
about whether to declare cursors as scrollable. We'll enforce the

pgbench: Stop counting skipped transactions as soon as timer is exceeded.
When throttling is used, transactions that lag behind schedule by
more than the latency limit are counted and reported as skipped.
Previously, there was the case where pgbench counted all skipped
transactions even if the timer specified in -T option was exceeded.
This could take a very long time to do that especially when unrealistically
high rate setting in -R option caused quite a lot of transactions that
lagged behind schedule. This could prevent pgbench from ending
immediately, and so pgbench could look like it got stuck to users.
To fix the issue, this commit changes pgbench so that it stops counting
skipped transactions as soon as the timer is exceeded. The timer can
make pgbench end soon even when there are lots of skipped transactions
that have not been counted yet.
Note that there is no guarantee that all skipped transactions are
counted under -T though there is under -t. This is OK in practice
because it's very unlikely to happen with realistic setting. Also this is

Disable anonymous record hash support except in special cases
Commit
01e658fa74 added hash support for row types. This also added
support for hashing anonymous record types, using the same approach
that the type cache uses for comparison support for record types: It
just reports that it works, but it might fail at run time if a
component type doesn't actually support the operation. We get away
with that for comparison because most types support that. But some
types don't support hashing, so the current state can result in
failures at run time where the planner chooses hashing over sorting,
whereas that previously worked if only sorting was an option.
We do, however, want the record hashing support for path tracking in
recursive unions, and the SEARCH and CYCLE clauses built on that. In
that case, hashing is the only plan option. So enable that, this
commit implements the following approach: The type cache does not
report that hashing is available for the record type. This undoes
that part of
01e658fa74. Instead, callers that require hashing no
matter what can override that result themselves. This patch only
touches the callers to make the aforementioned recursive query cases
work, namely the parse analysis of unions, as well as the hash_array()

Fix float4/float8 hash functions to produce uniform results for NaNs.
The IEEE 754 standard allows a wide variety of bit patterns for NaNs,
of which at least two ("NaN" and "-NaN") are pretty easy to produce
from SQL on most machines. This is problematic because our btree
comparison functions deem all NaNs to be equal, but our float hash
functions know nothing about NaNs and will happily produce varying
hash codes for them. That causes unexpected results from queries
that hash a column containing different NaN values. It could also
produce unexpected lookup failures when using a hash index on a
float column, i.e. "WHERE x = 'NaN'" will not find all the rows
it should.
To fix, special-case NaN in the float hash functions, not too much
unlike the existing special case that forces zero and minus zero
to hash the same. I arranged for the most vanilla sort of NaN
(that coming from the C99 NAN constant) to still have the same
hash code as before, to reduce the risk to existing hash indexes.
I dithered about whether to back-patch this into stable branches,
but ultimately decided to do so. It's a clear improvement for
queries that hash internally. If there is anybody who has -NaN
in a hash index, they'd be well advised to re-index after applying
