In v14, bb437f995 added support for scanning for ranges of TIDs using a
dedicated executor node for the purpose. Here, we allow these scans to
be parallelized. The range of blocks to scan is divvied up similarly to
how a Parallel Seq Scans does that, where 'chunks' of blocks are
allocated to each worker and the size of those chunks is slowly reduced
down to 1 block per worker by the time we're nearing the end of the
scan. Doing that means workers finish at roughly the same time.
Allowing TID Range Scans to be parallelized removes the dilemma from the
planner as to whether a Parallel Seq Scan will cost less than a
non-parallel TID Range Scan due to the CPU concurrency of the Seq Scan
(disk costs are not divided by the number of workers). It was possible
the planner could choose the Parallel Seq Scan which would result in
reading additional blocks during execution than the TID Scan would have.
Allowing Parallel TID Range Scans removes the trade-off the planner
makes when choosing between reduced CPU costs due to parallelism vs
additional I/O from the Parallel Seq Scan due to it scanning blocks from
outside of the required TID range. There is also, of course, the
traditional parallelism performance benefits to be gained as well, which
likely doesn't need to be explained here.

This adds SupportRequestSimplifyAggref to allow pg_proc.prosupport
functions to receive an Aggref and allow them to determine if there is a
way that the Aggref call can be optimized.
Also added is a support function to allow transformation of COUNT(ANY)
into COUNT(*). This is possible to do when the given "ANY" cannot be
NULL and also that there are no ORDER BY / DISTINCT clauses within the
Aggref. This is a useful transformation to do as it is common that
people write COUNT(1), which until now has added unneeded overhead.
When counting a NOT NULL column. The overheads can be worse as that
might mean deforming more of the tuple, which for large fact tables may
be many columns in.
It may be possible to add prosupport functions for other aggregates. We
could consider if ORDER BY could be dropped for some calls, e.g. the
ORDER BY is quite useless in MAX(c ORDER BY c).
There is a little bit of passing fallout from adjusting
expr_is_nonnullable() to handle Const which results in a plan change in
the aggregates.out regression test. Previously, nothing was able to
determine that "One-Time Filter: (100 IS NOT NULL)" was always true,
therefore useless to include in the plan.

If DSM registry entry initialization fails, backends could try to
use an uninitialized DSM segment, DSA, or dshash table (since the
entry is still added to the registry). To fix, restructure the
code so that the registry retries initialization as needed. This
commit also modifies pg_get_dsm_registry_allocations() to leave out
partially-initialized entries, as they shouldn't have any allocated
memory.
DSM registry entry initialization shouldn't fail often in practice,
but retrying was deemed better than leaving entries in a
permanently failed state (as was done by commit 1165a933aa, which
has since been reverted).

The test failed because it assumed that a newly created logical
replication slot could be synced to the standby by the slotsync worker.
However, the presence of an existing physical slot caused the new logical
slot to use a non-latest xmin. On the standby, the DDL had already been
replayed, advancing xmin, which led to the slotsync worker failing to sync
the lagging logical slot.
To resolve this, we moved the slot sync statistics tests to run after the

pg_dependencies is used as data type for the contents of dependencies
extended statistics. This new input function consumes the format that
has been established by e76defbcf0 for the output function of
pg_dependencies, enforcing some sanity checks for:
- Checks for the input object, which should be a one-dimension array
with correct attributes and values.
- The key names: "attributes", "dependency", "degree". All are
required, other key names are blocked.
- Value types for each key: "attributes" requires an array of integers,
"dependency" an attribute number, "degree" a float.
- List of attributes. In this case, it is possible that some
dependencies are not listed in the statistics data, as items with a
degree of 0 are discarded when building the statistics. This commit
includes checks for simple scenarios, like duplicated attributes, or
overlapping values between the list of "attributes" and the "dependency"
value. Even if the input function considers the input as valid, a value
still needs to be cross-checked with the attributes defined in a
statistics object at import.
- Based on the discussion, the checks on the values are loose, as there
is also an argument for potentially stats injection. For example,
"degree" should be defined in [0.0,1.0], but a check is not enforced.
This is required for a follow-up patch that aims to implement the import
of extended statistics. Some tests are added to check the code paths of

Accidentally the code in LWLockWakeup() checked the list of to-be-woken up

HAS_WAITERS would not get unset immediately, but only during the next,
unnecessary, call to LWLockWakeup().
Luckily, as the code stands, this is just a small efficiency issue.
However, if there were (as in a patch of mine) a case in which LWLockWakeup()
would not find any backend to wake, despite the wait list not being empty,
we'd wrongly unset LW_FLAG_HAS_WAITERS, leading to potentially hanging.

wait list lock acquisitions hurt, therefore backpatch.

We've long had a practice of making views temporary by default if they
reference any temporary tables. However the implementation was pretty
incomplete, in that it only searched for RangeTblEntry references to
temp relations. Uses of temporary types, regclass constants, etc
were not detected even though the dependency mechanism considers them
grounds for dropping the view. Thus a view not believed to be temp
could silently go away at session exit anyhow.
To improve matters, replace the ad-hoc isQueryUsingTempRelation()
logic with use of the dependency-based infrastructure introduced by
commit 572c40ba9. This is complete by definition, and it's less code
overall.
While we're at it, we can also extend the warning NOTICE (or ERROR
in the case of a materialized view) to mention one of the temp
objects motivating the classification of the view as temp, as was
done for functions in 572c40ba9.

Previously, we would only consider indexes marked indisvalid as usable
for INSERT ON CONFLICT. But that's problematic during CREATE INDEX
CONCURRENTLY and REINDEX CONCURRENTLY, because concurrent transactions
would end up with inconsistents lists of inferred indexes, leading to
deadlocks and spurious errors about unique key violations (because two
transactions are operating on different indexes for the speculative
insertion tokens). Change this function to return indexes even if
invalid. This fixes the spurious errors and deadlocks.
Because such indexes might not be complete, we still need uniqueness to
be verified in a different way. We do that by requiring that at least
one index marked valid is part of the set of indexes returned. It is
that index that is going to help ensure that the inserted tuple is
indeed unique.
This does not fix similar problems occurring with partitioned tables or
with named constraints. These problems will be fixed in follow-up
commits.
We have no user report of this problem, even though it exists in all
branches. Because of that and given that the fix is somewhat tricky, I
decided not to backpatch for now.

ba2a3c2302 has added a way to check if a buffer is spread across
multiple pages with some NUMA information, via a new view
pg_buffercache_numa that depends on pg_buffercache_numa_pages(), a SQL
function. These can only be queried when support for libnuma exists,
generating an error if not.
However, it can be useful to know how shared buffers and OS pages map
when NUMA is not supported or not available. This commit expands the
capabilities around pg_buffercache_numa:
- pg_buffercache_numa_pages() is refactored as an internal function,
able to optionally process NUMA. Its SQL definition prior to this
commit is still around to ensure backward-compatibility with v1.6.
- A SQL function called pg_buffercache_os_pages() is added, able to work
with or without NUMA.
- The view pg_buffercache_numa is redefined to use
pg_buffercache_os_pages().
- A new view is added, called pg_buffercache_os_pages. This ignores
NUMA for its result processing, for a better efficiency.
The implementation is done so as there is no code duplication between
the NUMA and non-NUMA views/functions, relying on one internal function
that does the job for all of them. The module is bumped to v1.7.

We don't have an official concept of temporary functions. (You can
make one explicitly in pg_temp, but then you have to explicitly
schema-qualify it on every call.) However, until now we were quite
laissez-faire about whether a non-temporary function could depend on
a temporary object, such as a temp table or view. If one does,
it will silently go away at end of session, due to the automatic
DROP ... CASCADE on the session's temporary objects. People have
complained that that's surprising; however, we can't really forbid
it because other people (including our own regression tests) rely
on being able to do it. Let's compromise by emitting a NOTICE
at CREATE FUNCTION time. This is somewhat comparable to our
ancient practice of emitting a NOTICE when forcing a view to
become temp because it depends on temp tables.
Along the way, refactor recordDependencyOnExpr() so that the
dependencies of an expression can be combined with other
dependencies, instead of being emitted separately and perhaps
duplicatively.
We should probably make the implementation of temp-by-default
views use the same infrastructure used here, but that's for
another patch. It's unclear whether there are any other object
classes that deserve similar treatment.

This request allows a support function to replace a function call
appearing in FROM (typically a set-returning function) with an
equivalent SELECT subquery. The subquery will then be subject
to the planner's usual optimizations, potentially allowing a much
better plan to be generated. While the planner has long done this
automatically for simple SQL-language functions, it's now possible
for extensions to do it for functions outside that group.
Notably, this could be useful for functions that are presently

The existing range_minus function raises an exception when the range is
"split", because then the result can't be represented by a single range.
For example '[0,10)'::int4range - '[4,5)' would be '[0,4)' and '[5,10)'.
This commit adds new set-returning functions so that callers can get
results even in the case of splits. There is no risk of an exception for
multiranges, but a set-returning function lets us handle them the same
way we handle ranges.
Both functions return zero results if the subtraction would give an
empty range/multirange.
The main use-case for these functions is to implement UPDATE/DELETE FOR
PORTION OF, which must compute the application-time of "temporal
leftovers": the part of history in an updated/deleted row that was not
changed. To preserve the untouched history, we will implicitly insert
one record for each result returned by range/multirange_minus_multi.
Using a set-returning function will also let us support user-defined
types for application-time update/delete in the future.

There was no easy way to run specific tests in the meson based builds.
