With grouping sets, it's possible that some of the grouping sets are
duplicate. This is especially common with CUBE and ROLLUP clauses. For
example GROUP BY CUBE (a,b), CUBE (b,c) is equivalent to
GROUP BY GROUPING SETS (
(a, b, c),
(a, b, c),
(a, b, c),
(a, b),
(a, b),
(a, b),
(a),
(a),
(a),
(c, a),
(c, a),
(c, a),
(c),
(b, c),
(b),
()
)
Some of the grouping sets are calculated multiple times, which is mostly
unnecessary. This commit implements a new GROUP BY DISTINCT feature, as
defined in the SQL standard, which eliminates the duplicate sets.

After a crash of a backend using temporary files, the files used to be
left behind, on the basis that it might be useful for debugging. But we
don't have any reports of anyone actually doing that, and it means the
disk usage may grow over time due to repeated backend failures (possibly
even hitting ENOSPC). So this behavior is a bit unfortunate, and fixing
it required either manual cleanup (deleting files, which is error-prone)
or restart of the instance (i.e. service disruption).
This implements automatic cleanup of temporary files, controled by a new
GUC remove_temp_files_after_crash. By default the files are removed, but
it can be disabled to restore the old behavior if needed.

Commit 05c8482f7f added the implementation of parallel SELECT for
"INSERT INTO ... SELECT ..." which may incur non-negligible overhead in
the additional parallel-safety checks that it performs, even when, in the
end, those checks determine that parallelism can't be used. This is
normally only ever a problem in the case of when the target table has a
large number of partitions.
A new GUC option "enable_parallel_insert" is added, to allow insert in
parallel-mode. The default is on.
In addition to the GUC option, the user may want a mechanism to allow
inserts in parallel-mode with finer granularity at table level. The new
table option "parallel_insert_enabled" allows this. The default is true.

pgstat_read_statsfiles() reads the data into newly allocated

While looking at Robert Foggia's report, I noticed a passel of
other issues in the same area:
* The scheme for backslash-quoting newlines in pathnames is just
wrong; it will misbehave if the last ordinary character in a pathname
is a backslash. I'm not sure why we're bothering to allow newlines
in tablespace paths, but if we're going to do it we should do it
without introducing other problems. Hence, backslashes themselves
have to be backslashed too.
* The author hadn't read the sscanf man page very carefully, because
this code would drop any leading whitespace from the path. (I doubt
that a tablespace path with leading whitespace could happen in
practice; but if we're bothering to allow newlines in the path, it
sure seems like leading whitespace is little less implausible.) Using
sscanf for the task of finding the first space is overkill anyway.
* While I'm not 100% sure what the rationale for escaping both \r and
\n is, if the idea is to allow Windows newlines in the file then this
code failed, because it'd throw an error if it saw \r followed by \n.
* There's no cross-check for an incomplete final line in the map file,
which would be a likely apparent symptom of the improper-escaping
bug.
On the generation end, aside from the escaping issue we have:
* If needtblspcmapfile is true then do_pg_start_backup will pass back
escaped strings in tablespaceinfo->path values, which no caller wants
or is prepared to deal with. I'm not sure if there's a live bug from
that, but it looks like there might be (given the dubious assumption
that anyone actually has newlines in their tablespace paths).
* It's not being very paranoid about the possibility of random stuff
in the pg_tblspc directory. IMO we should ignore anything without an
OID-like name.
The escaping rule change doesn't seem back-patchable: it'll require
doubling of backslashes in the tablespace_map file, which is basically
a basebackup format change. The odds of that causing trouble are
considerably more than the odds of the existing bug causing trouble.
The rest of this seems somewhat unlikely to cause problems too,
so no back-patch.
Robert Foggia of Trustwave reported that read_tablespace_map()
fails to prevent an overrun of its on-stack input buffer.
Since the tablespace map file is presumed trustworthy, this does
not seem like an interesting security vulnerability, but still
we should fix it just in the name of robustness.
While here, document that pg_basebackup's --tablespace-mapping option
doesn't work with tar-format output, because it doesn't. To make it
work, we'd have to modify the tablespace_map file within the tarball
sent by the server, which might be possible but I'm not volunteering.
(Less-painful solutions would require changing the basebackup protocol
so that the source server could adjust the map. That's not very
appetizing either.)
The existing test script does run pg_basebackup with the -Ft option,
but it makes no real attempt to verify the sanity of the results.
We wouldn't know if the output is incompatible with standard "tar"
programs, nor if the server fails to start from the restored output.
Notably, this means that xlog.c's read_tablespace_map() is not being
meaningfully tested, since that code is used only in the tar-format
case. (We do have reasonable coverage of restoring from plain-format
output, though it's over in src/test/recovery not here.)
Hence, attempt to untar the output and start a server from it,
rather just hoping it's OK.
This test assumes that the local "tar" has the "-C directory"
switch. Although that's not promised by POSIX, my research
suggests that all non-extinct tar implementations have it.
Should the buildfarm's opinion differ, we can complicate the
test a bit to avoid requiring that.
Possibly this should be back-patched, but I'm unsure about
whether it could work on Windows before d66b23b03.
This was a bit disjointed, partly because of a not-well-considered
decision to document SQL commands that don't return result rows as
though they had nothing in common with commands that do. Rearrange
so that we have one discussion of variable substitution that clearly
applies to all types of SQL commands, and then handle the question
of processing command output separately. Clarify that EXPLAIN,
CREATE TABLE AS SELECT, and similar commands that incorporate an
optimizable statement will act like optimizable statements for the
purposes of variable substitution. Do a bunch of minor wordsmithing
in the same area.

Commit 3048898e dropped -ING from some wait event names that correspond
to barrier phases. Update the phases' names to match.
While we're here making cosmetic changes, also rename "DONE" to "FREE".
That pairs better with "ALLOCATE", and describes the activity that
actually happens in that phase (as we do for the other phases) rather
than describing a state. The distinction is clearer after bugfix commit
3b8981b6 split the phase into two. As for the growth barriers, rename
their "ALLOCATE" phase to "REALLOCATE", which is probably a better
description of what happens then. Also improve the comments about
the phases a bit.

With very unlucky timing and parallel_leader_participation off, PHJ
could attempt to access per-batch state just as it was being freed.
There was code intended to prevent that by checking for a cleared
pointer, but it was buggy.
Fix, by introducing an extra barrier phase. The new phase
PHJ_BUILD_RUNNING means that it's safe to access the per-batch state to
find a batch to help with, and PHJ_BUILD_DONE means that it is too late.
The last to detach will free the array of per-batch state as before, but
now it will also atomically advance the phase at the same time, so that
late attachers can avoid the hazard, without the data race. This
mirrors the way per-batch hash tables are freed (see phases
PHJ_BATCH_PROBING and PHJ_BATCH_DONE).
Revealed by a one-off build farm failure, where BarrierAttach() failed a
sanity check assertion, because the memory had been clobbered by
dsa_free().

After reading the root cert list from the ssl_ca_file, immediately
install it as client CA list of the new SSL context. That gives the
SSL context ownership of the list, so that SSL_CTX_free will free it.
This avoids a permanent memory leak if we fail further down in
be_tls_init(), which could happen if bogus CRL data is offered.
The leak could only amount to something if the CRL parameters get
broken after server start (else we'd just quit) and then the server
is SIGHUP'd many times without fixing the CRL data. That's rather
unlikely perhaps, but it seems worth fixing, if only because the

This commit changes WAL archiver process so that it's treated as
an auxiliary process and can use shared memory. This is an infrastructure
patch required for upcoming shared-memory based stats collector patch
series. These patch series basically need any processes including archiver
that can report the statistics to access to shared memory. Since this patch
itself is useful to simplify the code and when users monitor the status of
archiver, it's committed separately in advance.
This commit simplifies the code for WAL archiving. For example, previously
backends need to signal to archiver via postmaster when they notify
archiver that there are some WAL files to archive. On the other hand,
this commit removes that signal to postmaster and enables backends to
notify archier directly using shared latch.
Also, as the side of this change, the information about archiver process
