Fix still another bug in commit 35fcb1b3d: it failed to fully initialize
the SortSupport states it introduced to allow the executor to re-check
ORDER BY expressions containing distance operators. That led to a null
pointer dereference if the sortsupport code tried to use ssup_cxt. The
problem only manifests in narrow cases, explaining the lack of previous
field reports. It requires a GiST-indexable distance operator that lacks
SortSupport and is on a pass-by-ref data type, which among core+contrib
seems to be only btree_gist's interval opclass; and it requires the scan
to be done as an IndexScan not an IndexOnlyScan, which explains how
btree_gist's regression test didn't catch it. Per bug #14134 from
Jihyun Yu.

This reverts commit b1dd2f86ce.
That turns out to have been based on a faulty diagnosis of why the
VS2015 build was misbehaving. Instead, we need to fix DatumGetBool().
It appears that we can no longer get away with using V0 call convention
for bool-returning functions in newer versions of MSVC. The compiler
seems to generate code that doesn't clear the higher-order bits of the
result register, causing the bool result Datum to often read as "true"
when "false" was intended. This is not very surprising, since the
function thinks it's returning a bool-width result but fmgr_oldstyle
assumes that V0 functions return "char *"; what's surprising is that
that hack worked for so long on so many platforms.
The only functions of this description in core+contrib are in contrib/seg,
which we'd intentionally left mostly in V0 style to serve as a warning
canary if V0 call convention breaks. We could imagine hacking things
so that they're still V0 (we'd have to redeclare the bool-returning
functions as returning some suitably wide integer type, like size_t,
at the C level). But on the whole it seems better to convert 'em to V1.
We can still leave the pointer- and int-returning functions in V0 style,
so that the test coverage isn't gone entirely.
Back-patch to 9.5, since our intention is to support VS2015 in 9.5
and later. There's no SQL-level change in the functions' behavior
so back-patching should be safe enough.

Michael Paquier, adjusted some by me
When re-reading an update involving both an old tuple and a new tuple from
disk, reorderbuffer.c was careless about whether the new tuple is suitably
aligned for direct access --- in general, it isn't. We'd missed seeing
this in the buildfarm because the contrib/test_decoding tests exercise this
code path only a few times, and by chance all of those cases have old
tuples with length a multiple of 4, which is usually enough to make the
access to the new tuple's t_len safe. For some still-not-entirely-clear
reason, however, Debian's sparc build gets a bus error, as reported by
Christoph Berg; perhaps it's assuming 8-byte alignment of the pointer?
The lack of previous field reports is probably because you need all of
these conditions to trigger a crash: an alignment-picky platform (not
Intel), a transaction large enough to spill to disk, an update within
that xact that changes a primary-key field and has an odd-length old tuple,
and of course logical decoding tracing the transaction.
Avoid the alignment assumption by using memcpy instead of fetching t_len
directly, and add a test case that exposes the crash on picky platforms.
Back-patch to 9.4 where the bug was introduced.

Since they don't verify the passed page thoroughly, it is possible to

Security: CVE-2016-3065
Renaming a file using rename(2) is not guaranteed to be durable in face
of crashes. Use the previously added durable_rename()/durable_link_or_rename()
in various places where we previously just renamed files.
Most of the changed call sites are arguably not critical, but it seems
better to err on the side of too much durability. The most prominent
known case where the previously missing fsyncs could cause data loss is
crashes at the end of a checkpoint. After the actual checkpoint has been
performed, old WAL files are recycled. When they're filled, their
contents are fdatasynced, but we did not fsync the containing
directory. An OS/hardware crash in an unfortunate moment could then end
up leaving that file with its old name, but new content; WAL replay
would thus not replay it.

Backpatch: 9.1-
When decoding the old version of an UPDATE or DELETE change, and if that
tuple was bigger than MaxHeapTupleSize, we either Assert'ed out, or
failed in more subtle ways in non-assert builds. Normally individual
tuples aren't bigger than MaxHeapTupleSize, with big datums toasted.
But that's not the case for the old version of a tuple for logical
decoding; the replica identity is logged as one piece. With the default
replica identity btree limits that to small tuples, but that's not the
case for FULL.
Change the tuple buffer infrastructure to separate allocate over-large
tuples, instead of always going through the slab cache.
This unfortunately requires changing the ReorderBufferTupleBuf
definition, we need to store the allocated size someplace. To avoid
requiring output plugins to recompile, don't store HeapTupleHeaderData
directly after HeapTupleData, but point to it via t_data; that leaves
rooms for the allocated size. As there's no reason for an output plugin
to look at ReorderBufferTupleBuf->t_data.header, remove the field. It
was just a minor convenience having it directly accessible.

Somehow I managed to flip the order of restoring old & new tuples when
de-spooling a change in a large transaction from disk. This happens to
only take effect when a change is spooled to disk which has old/new
versions of the tuple. That only is the case for UPDATEs where he
primary key changed or where replica identity is changed to FULL.
The tests didn't catch this because either spooled updates, or updates
that changed primary keys, were tested; not both at the same time.
Found while adding tests for the following commit.
Backpatch: 9.4, where logical decoding was added
Logical decoding's reorderbuffer keeps transactions in an LSN ordered
list for efficiency. To make that's efficiently possible upper-level
xids are forced to be logged before nested subtransaction xids. That
only works though if these records are all looked at: Unfortunately we
didn't do so for e.g. row level locks, which are otherwise uninteresting
for logical decoding.
This could lead to errors like:
"ERROR: subxact logged without previous toplevel record".
It's not sufficient to just look at row locking records, the xid could
appear first due to a lot of other types of records (which will trigger
the transaction to be marked logged with MarkCurrentTransactionIdLoggedIfAny).
So invent infrastructure to tell reorderbuffer about xids seen, when
they'd otherwise not pass through reorderbuffer.c.

Dead or half-dead index leaf pages were incorrectly reported as live, as a
consequence of a code rearrangement I made (during a moment of severe brain
fade, evidently) in commit d287818eb5.
The index metapage was not counted in index_size, causing that result to
not agree with the actual index size on-disk.
Index root pages were not counted in internal_pages, which is inconsistent
compared to the case of a root that's also a leaf (one-page index), where
the root would be counted in leaf_pages. Aside from that inconsistency,
this could lead to additional transient discrepancies between the reported
page counts and index_size, since it's possible for pgstatindex's scan to
see zero or multiple pages marked as BTP_ROOT, if the root moves due to
a split during the scan. With these fixes, index_size will always be
exactly one page more than the sum of the displayed page counts.
Also, the index_size result was incorrectly documented as being measured in
pages; it's always been measured in bytes. (While fixing that, I couldn't
resist doing some small additional wordsmithing on the pgstattuple docs.)
Including the metapage causes the reported index_size to not be zero for
an empty index. To preserve the desired property that the pgstattuple
regression test results are platform-independent (ie, BLCKSZ configuration
independent), scale the index_size result in the regression tests.
The documentation issue was reported by Otsuka Kenji, and the inconsistent
root page counting by Peter Geoghegan; the other problems noted by me.

Commit e529cd4ffa introduced an Assert requiring NAMEDATALEN to be
less than MAX_LEVENSHTEIN_STRLEN, which has been 255 for a long time.
Since up to that instant we had always allowed NAMEDATALEN to be
substantially more than that, this was ill-advised.
It's debatable whether we need MAX_LEVENSHTEIN_STRLEN at all (versus
putting a CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS into the loop), or whether it has to be
so tight; but this patch takes the narrower approach of just not applying
the MAX_LEVENSHTEIN_STRLEN limit to calls from the parser.
Trusting the parser for this seems reasonable, first because the strings
are limited to NAMEDATALEN which is unlikely to be hugely more than 256,
and second because the maximum distance is tightly constrained by
MAX_FUZZY_DISTANCE (though we'd forgotten to make use of that limit in one
place). That means the cost is not really O(mn) but more like O(max(m,n)).
Relaxing the limit for user-supplied calls is left for future research;
given the lack of complaints to date, it doesn't seem very high priority.
In passing, fix confusion between lengths-in-bytes and lengths-in-chars
in comments and error messages.

Commit 866566a690 is insufficient to prevent dump/reload failures
when using transform modules in a database with both plpython2 and
plpython3 installed. The reason is that the transform extension scripts
use DO blocks as a mechanism to pull in the libpython library before
creating the transform function. It's necessary to preload the library
because the dynamic loader won't do it for us on every platform, leading
to "unresolved symbol" failures when the transform library is loaded.
But it's *not* necessary to execute Python code, and doing so will
provoke a multiple-Pythons-are-loaded error even after the preceding
commit.
To fix, use LOAD instead of a DO block. That requires superuser privilege,
but creation of a C function does anyway. It also embeds knowledge of
the underlying library name for each PL language; but that's wired into
the initdb-time contents of pg_pltemplate too, so that doesn't seem like
a large problem either. Note that CREATE TRANSFORM as such doesn't call
the language module at all.

Commit e7cb7ee145 provided basic
infrastructure for allowing a foreign data wrapper or custom scan
provider to replace a join of one or more tables with a scan.
However, this infrastructure failed to take into account the need
for possible EvalPlanQual rechecks, and ExecScanFetch would fail
an assertion (or just overwrite memory) if such a check was attempted
for a plan containing a pushed-down join. To fix, adjust the EPQ
machinery to skip some processing steps when scanrelid == 0, making
those the responsibility of scan's recheck method, which also has
the responsibility in this case of correctly populating the relevant
slot.
To allow foreign scans to gain control in the right place to make
use of this new facility, add a new, optional RecheckForeignScan
method. Also, allow a foreign scan to have a child plan, which can
be used to correctly populate the slot (or perhaps for something
else, but this is the only use currently envisioned).

Some versions of Perl export a macro named HS_KEY. This creates a
conflict in contrib/hstore_plperl against hstore's macro of the same

I chose HSTORE_KEY. For consistency, rename HS_VAL and related macros
similarly.
Back-patch to 9.5. contrib/hstore_plperl doesn't exist before that

This fixes a long-standing bug which was discovered while investigating
the interaction between the new join pushdown code and the EvalPlanQual
machinery: if a ForeignScan appears on the inner side of a paramaterized
nestloop, an EPQ recheck would re-return the original tuple even if
it no longer satisfied the pushed-down quals due to changed parameter
values.
This fix adds a new member to ForeignScan and ForeignScanState and a
new argument to make_foreignscan, and requires changes to FDWs which
push down quals to populate that new argument with a list of quals they
have chosen to push down. Therefore, I'm only back-patching to 9.5,
even though the bug is not new in 9.5.

If we can't read the query texts file (whether because out-of-memory, or
for some other reason), give up and reset the file to empty, discarding all
stored query texts, though not the statistics per se. We used to leave
things alone and hope for better luck next time, but the problem is that
the file is only going to get bigger and even harder to slurp into memory.
Better to do something that will get us out of trouble.
Likewise reset the file to empty for any other failure within gc_qtexts().
The previous behavior after a write error was to discard query texts but
not do anything to truncate the file, which is just weird.
Also, increase the maximum supported file size from MaxAllocSize to
MaxAllocHugeSize; this makes it more likely we'll be able to do a garbage
collection successfully.
Also, fix recalculation of mean_query_len within entry_dealloc() to match
the calculation in gc_qtexts(). The previous coding overlooked the
possibility of dropped texts (query_len == -1) and would underestimate the
mean of the remaining entries in such cases, thus possibly causing excess
garbage collection cycles.
In passing, add some errdetail to the log entry that complains about
insufficient memory to read the query texts file, which after all was
Jim Nasby's original complaint.

Backpatch: 9.4-, where replication slots were added
If we have a local Var of say varchar type with default collation, and
we apply a RelabelType to convert that to text with default collation, we
don't want to consider that as creating an FDW_COLLATE_UNSAFE situation.
It should be okay to compare that to a remote Var, so long as the remote
Var determines the comparison collation. (When we actually ship such an
expression to the remote side, the local Var would become a Param with
default collation, meaning the remote Var would in fact control the
comparison collation, because non-default implicit collation overrides
default implicit collation in parse_collate.c.) To fix, be more precise
about what FDW_COLLATE_NONE means: it applies either to a noncollatable
data type or to a collatable type with default collation, if that collation
can't be traced to a remote Var. (When it can, FDW_COLLATE_SAFE is
appropriate.) We were essentially using that interpretation already at
the Var/Const/Param level, but we weren't bubbling it up properly.
An alternative fix would be to introduce a separate FDW_COLLATE_DEFAULT
value to describe the second situation, but that would add more code
without changing the actual behavior, so it didn't seem worthwhile.
Also, since we're clarifying the rule to be that we care about whether
operator/function input collations match, there seems no need to fail
immediately upon seeing a Const/Param/non-foreign-Var with nondefault
collation. We only have to reject if it appears in a collation-sensitive
context (for example, "var IS NOT NULL" is perfectly safe from a collation
standpoint, whatever collation the var has). So just set the state to
UNSAFE rather than failing immediately.

thinking in commit ed3ddf918b, so back-patch

The regression tests for sepgsql were broken by changes in the
base distro as-shipped policies. Specifically, definition of
unconfined_t in the system default policy was changed to bypass
multi-category rules, which the regression test depended on.
Fix that by defining a custom privileged domain
(sepgsql_regtest_superuser_t) and using it instead of system's
unconfined_t domain. The new sepgsql_regtest_superuser_t domain
performs almost like the current unconfined_t, but restricted by
multi-category policy as the traditional unconfined_t was.
The custom policy module is a self defined domain, and so should not
be affected by related future system policy changes. However, it still
uses the unconfined_u:unconfined_r pair for selinux-user and role.
Those definitions have not been changed for several years and seem
less risky to rely on than the unconfined_t domain. Additionally, if
we define custom user/role, they would need to be manually defined
at the operating system level, adding more complexity to an already
non-standard and complex regression test.
Back-patch to 9.3. The regression tests will need more work before
working correctly on 9.2. Starting with 9.2, sepgsql has had dependencies
on libselinux versions that are only available on newer distros with
the changed set of policies (e.g. RHEL 7.x). On 9.1 sepgsql works
fine with the older distros with original policy set (e.g. RHEL 6.x),
and on which the existing regression tests work fine. We might want
eventually change 9.1 sepgsql regression tests to be more independent
from the underlying OS policies, however more work will be needed to
make that happen and it is not clear that it is worth the effort.

The original implementation of TABLESAMPLE modeled the tablesample method
API on index access methods, which wasn't a good choice because, without
specialized DDL commands, there's no way to build an extension that can
implement a TSM. (Raw inserts into system catalogs are not an acceptable
thing to do, because we can't undo them during DROP EXTENSION, nor will
pg_upgrade behave sanely.) Instead adopt an API more like procedural
language handlers or foreign data wrappers, wherein the only SQL-level
support object needed is a single handler function identified by having
a special return type. This lets us get rid of the supporting catalog
altogether, so that no custom DDL support is needed for the feature.
Adjust the API so that it can support non-constant tablesample arguments
(the original coding assumed we could evaluate the argument expressions at
ExecInitSampleScan time, which is undesirable even if it weren't outright
unsafe), and discourage sampling methods from looking at invisible tuples.
Make sure that the BERNOULLI and SYSTEM methods are genuinely repeatable
within and across queries, as required by the SQL standard, and deal more
honestly with methods that can't support that requirement.
