If trying to use something else than a plain table as logical

Up to now, createplan.c attempted to share PARAM_EXEC slots for
NestLoopParams across different plan levels, if the same underlying Var
was being fed down to different righthand-side subplan trees by different
NestLoops. This was, I think, more of an artifact of using subselect.c's
PlannerParamItem infrastructure than an explicit design goal, but anyway
that was the end result.
This works well enough as long as the plan tree is executing synchronously,
but the feature whereby Gather can execute the parallelized subplan locally
breaks it. An upper NestLoop node might execute for a row retrieved from
a parallel worker, and assign a value for a PARAM_EXEC slot from that row,
while the leader's copy of the parallelized subplan is suspended with a
different active value of the row the Var comes from. When control
eventually returns to the leader's subplan, it gets the wrong answers if
the same PARAM_EXEC slot is being used within the subplan, as reported
in bug #15577 from Bartosz Polnik.
This is pretty reminiscent of the problem fixed in commit 46c508fbc, and
the proper fix seems to be the same: don't try to share PARAM_EXEC slots
across different levels of controlling NestLoop nodes.
This requires decoupling NestLoopParam handling from PlannerParamItem
handling, although the logic remains somewhat similar. To avoid bizarre
division of labor between subselect.c and createplan.c, I decided to move
all the param-slot-assignment logic for both cases out of those files
and put it into a new file paramassign.c. Hopefully it's a bit better
documented now, too.
A regression test case for this might be nice, but we don't know a
test case that triggers the problem with a suitably small amount
of data.
Back-patch to 9.6 where we added Gather nodes. It's conceivable that
related problems exist in older branches; but without some evidence

This index array was originally defined to have 10000 entries (ranging
up to FirstGenbkiObjectId), but we really only need entries up to the
last existing builtin function OID, currently 6121. That saves close
to 8K of never-accessed space in the server executable, at the small
price of one more fetch in fmgr_isbuiltin().
We could reduce the array size still further by renumbering a few of
the highest-numbered builtin functions; but there's a small risk of
breaking clients that have chosen to hardwire those function OIDs,
so it's not clear if it'd be worth the trouble. (We should, however,
discourage future patches from choosing function OIDs above 6K as long
as there's still lots of space below that.)

Previously, ScanKeywordLookup was passed an array of string pointers.
This had some performance deficiencies: the strings themselves might
be scattered all over the place depending on the compiler (and some
quick checking shows that at least with gcc-on-Linux, they indeed
weren't reliably close together). That led to very cache-unfriendly
behavior as the binary search touched strings in many different pages.
Also, depending on the platform, the string pointers might need to
be adjusted at program start, so that they couldn't be simple constant
data. And the ScanKeyword struct had been designed with an eye to
32-bit machines originally; on 64-bit it requires 16 bytes per
keyword, making it even more cache-unfriendly.
Redesign so that the keyword strings themselves are allocated
consecutively (as part of one big char-string constant), thereby
eliminating the touch-lots-of-unrelated-pages syndrome. And get
rid of the ScanKeyword array in favor of three separate arrays:
uint16 offsets into the keyword array, uint16 token codes, and
uint8 keyword categories. That reduces the overhead per keyword
to 5 bytes instead of 16 (even less in programs that only need
one of the token codes and categories); moreover, the binary search
only touches the offsets array, further reducing its cache footprint.
This also lets us put the token codes somewhere else than the
keyword strings are, which avoids some unpleasant build dependencies.
While we're at it, wrap the data used by ScanKeywordLookup into
a struct that can be treated as an opaque type by most callers.
That doesn't change things much right now, but it will make it
less painful to switch to a hash-based lookup method, as is being
discussed in the mailing list thread.
Most of the change here is associated with adding a generator
script that can build the new data structure from the same
list-of-PG_KEYWORD header representation we used before.
The PG_KEYWORD lists that plpgsql and ecpg used to embed in
their scanner .c files have to be moved into headers, and the
Makefiles have to be taught to invoke the generator script.
This work is also necessary if we're to consider hash-based lookup,
since the generator script is what would be responsible for
constructing a hash table.
Aside from saving a few kilobytes in each program that includes
the keyword table, this seems to speed up raw parsing (flex+bison)
by a few percent. So it's worth doing even as it stands, though
we think we can gain even more with a follow-on patch to switch
to hash-based lookup.

Instead of running a SQL script to create the standard conversion
functions and pg_conversion entries, put those entries into the
initial data in postgres.bki.
This shaves a few percent off the runtime of initdb, and also allows
accurate comments to be attached to the conversion functions; the
previous script labeled them with machine-generated comments that
were not quite right for multi-purpose conversion functions.
Also, we can get rid of the duplicative Makefile and MSVC perl
implementations of the generation code for that SQL script.
A functional change is that these pg_proc and pg_conversion entries
are now "pinned" by initdb. Leaving them unpinned was perhaps a
good thing back while the conversions feature was under development,
but there seems no valid reason for it now.
Also, the conversion functions are now marked as immutable, where
before they were volatile by virtue of lacking any explicit

This patch changes the rule for whether or not a tuple seen by ANALYZE
should be included in its sample.
When we last touched this logic, in commit 51e1445f1, we weren't
thinking very hard about tuples being UPDATEd by a long-running
concurrent transaction. In such a case, we might see the pre-image as
either LIVE or DELETE_IN_PROGRESS depending on timing; and we might see
the post-image not at all, or as INSERT_IN_PROGRESS. Since the existing
code will not sample either DELETE_IN_PROGRESS or INSERT_IN_PROGRESS
tuples, this leads to concurrently-updated rows being omitted from the
sample entirely. That's not very helpful, and it's especially the wrong
thing if the concurrent transaction ends up rolling back.
The right thing seems to be to sample DELETE_IN_PROGRESS rows just as if
they were live. This makes the "sample it" and "count it" decisions the
same, which seems good for consistency. It's clearly the right thing
if the concurrent transaction ends up rolling back; in effect, we are
sampling as though IN_PROGRESS transactions haven't happened yet.
Also, this combination of choices ensures maximum robustness against
the different combinations of whether and in which state we might see the
pre- and post-images of an update.
It's slightly annoying that we end up recording immediately-out-of-date
stats in the case where the transaction does commit, but on the other
hand the stats are fine for columns that didn't change in the update.
And the alternative of sampling INSERT_IN_PROGRESS rows instead seems
like a bad idea, because then the sampling would be inconsistent with
the way rows are counted for the stats report.

It's important for link commands to list *.o input files before -l
switches for libraries, as library code may not get pulled into the link
unless referenced by an earlier command-line entry. This is certainly
necessary for static libraries (.a style). Apparently on some platforms
it is also necessary for shared libraries, as reported by Donald Dong.
We often put -l switches for within-tree libraries into LDFLAGS, meaning
that link commands that list *.o files after LDFLAGS are hazardous.
Most of our link commands got this right, but a few did not. In
particular, places that relied on gmake's default implicit link rule
failed, because that puts LDFLAGS first. Fix that by overriding the
built-in rule with our own. The implicit link rules in
src/makefiles/Makefile.* for single-.o-file shared libraries mostly
got this wrong too, so fix them. I also changed the link rules for the
backend and a couple of other places for consistency, even though they
are not (currently) at risk because they aren't adding any -l switches
to LDFLAGS.
Arguably, the real problem here is that we're abusing LDFLAGS by
putting -l switches in it and we should stop doing that. But changing
that would be quite invasive, so I'm not eager to do so.
Perhaps this is a candidate for back-patching, but so far it seems
that problems can only be exhibited in test code we don't normally
build, and at least some of the problems are new in HEAD anyway.

In commit 8b08f7d482 I added member relationId to IndexStmt struct.
I'm now not sure why; DefineIndex doesn't need it, since the relation
OID is passed as a separate argument anyway. Remove it.
Also remove a redundant assignment to the relationId argument (it wasn't
redundant when added by commit e093dcdd28, but should have been removed
in commit 5f173040e3), and use relationId instead of stmt->relation when
locking the relation in the second phase of CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY,
which is not only confusing but it means we resolve the name twice for
no reason.
While rearranging code in tidpath.c, I overlooked the fact that we ought
to check restriction_is_securely_promotable when trying to use a join
clause as a TID qual. Since tideq itself is leakproof, this wouldn't
really allow any interesting leak AFAICT, but it still seems like we
had better check it.
For consistency with the corresponding logic in indxpath.c, also
check rinfo->pseudoconstant. I'm not sure right now that it's
possible for that to be set in a join clause, but if it were,
a match couldn't be made anyway.
Up to now we've not worried much about joins where the join key is a
relation's CTID column, reasoning that storing a table's CTIDs in some
other table would be pretty useless. However, there are use-cases for
this sort of query involving self-joins, so that argument doesn't really
hold water.
With larger relations, a merge or hash join is desirable. We had a btree
opclass for type "tid", allowing merge joins on CTID, but no hash opclass
so that hash joins weren't possible. Add the missing infrastructure.
This also potentially enables hash aggregation on "tid", though the
use-cases for that aren't too clear.

Doing this requires an assumption that the invoked btree comparison

Previously we just set the seed based on process ID and start timestamp.
Both those values are directly available within the session, and can
be found out or guessed by other users too, making the session's series
of random(3) values fairly predictable. Up to now, our backend-internal
uses of random(3) haven't seemed security-critical, but commit 88bdbd3f7
added one that potentially is: when using log_statement_sample_rate, a
user might be able to predict which of his SQL statements will get logged.
To improve this situation, upgrade the per-process seed initialization
method to use pg_strong_random() if available, greatly reducing the
predictability of the initial seed value. This adds a few tens of
microseconds to process start time, but since backend startup time is
at least a couple of milliseconds, that seems an acceptable price.
This means that pg_strong_random() needs to be able to run without
reliance on any backend infrastructure, since it will be invoked
before any of that is up. It was safe for that already, but adjust
comments and #include commands to make it clearer.

Previously, the SQL random() function depended on libc's random(3),
and setseed() invoked srandom(3). This results in interference between
these functions and backend-internal uses of random(3). We'd never paid
too much mind to that, but in the wake of commit 88bdbd3f7 which added
log_statement_sample_rate, the interference arguably has a security
consequence: if log_statement_sample_rate is active then an unprivileged
user could probably control which if any of his SQL commands get logged,
by issuing setseed() at the right times. That seems bad.
To fix this reliably, we need random() and setseed() to use their own
private random state variable. Standard random(3) isn't amenable to such
usage, so let's switch to pg_erand48(). It's hard to say whether that's
more or less "random" than any particular platform's version of random(3),
but it does have a wider seed value and a longer period than are required
by POSIX, so we can hope that this isn't a big downgrade. Also, we should
now have uniform behavior of random() across platforms, which is worth
something.
While at it, upgrade the per-process seed initialization method to use
pg_strong_random() if available, greatly reducing the predictability
of the initial seed value. (I'll separately do something similar for
the internal uses of random().)
In addition to forestalling the possible security problem, this has a
benefit in the other direction, which is that we can now document
setseed() as guaranteeing a reproducible sequence of random() values.
Previously, because of the possibility of internal calls of random(3),
we could not promise any such thing.

At the end of recovery for the post-promotion process, a new history
file is created followed by the last partial segment of the previous
timeline. Based on the timing, the archiver would first try to archive
the last partial segment and then the history file. This can delay the
detection of a new timeline taken, particularly depending on the time it
takes to transfer the last partial segment as it delays the moment the
history file of the new timeline gets archived. This can cause promoted
standbys to use the same timeline as one already taken depending on the
circumstances if multiple instances look at archives at the same
location.
This commit changes the order of archiving so as history files are
archived in priority over other file types, which reduces the likelihood
of the same timeline being taken (still not reducing the window to
zero), and it makes the archiver behave more consistently with the
startup process doing its post-promotion business.

The SQL spec says that sql_identifier is a domain over varchar,
but it also says that that domain is supposed to represent the set
of valid identifiers for the implementation, in particular applying
a length limit matching the implementation's identifier length limit.
We were declaring sql_identifier as just "character varying", thus
duplicating what the spec says about base type, but entirely failing
at the rest of it.
Instead, let's declare sql_identifier as a domain over type "name".
(We can drop the COLLATE "C" added by commit 6b0faf723, since that's
now implicit in "name".) With the recent improvements to name's
comparison support, there's not a lot of functional difference between
name and varchar. So although in principle this is a spec deviation,
it's a pretty minor one. And correctly enforcing PG's name length limit
is a good thing; on balance this seems closer to the intent of the spec
than what we had.
But that's all just language-lawyering. The *real* reason to do this is
that it makes sql_identifier columns exposed by information_schema views
be just direct representations of the underlying "name" catalog columns,
eliminating a semantic mismatch that was disastrous for performance of
typical queries on the information_schema. In combination with the
recent change to allow dropping no-op CoerceToDomain nodes, this allows
(for example) queries such as
select ... from information_schema.tables where table_name = 'foo';
to produce an indexscan rather than a seqscan on pg_class.

information_schema output columns that are declared as being type
sql_identifier are supposed to conform to the implementation's rules
for valid identifiers, in particular the identifier length limit.
Several places potentially violated this limit by concatenating a
function's name and OID. (The OID is added to ensure name uniqueness
within a schema, since the spec doesn't expect function name overloading.)
Simply truncating the concatenation result to fit in "name" won't do,
since losing part of the OID might wind up giving non-unique results.
Instead, let's truncate the function name as necessary.
The most practical way to do that is to do it in a C function; the
information_schema.sql script doesn't have easy access to the value
of NAMEDATALEN, nor does it have an easy way to truncate on the basis
of resulting byte-length rather than number of characters.
(There are still a couple of places that cast concatenation results to
sql_identifier, but as far as I can see they are guaranteed not to produce
over-length strings, at least with the normal value of NAMEDATALEN.)

For probably bogus reasons, we acquire only AccessShareLock on the
partition when we try to detach it from its parent partitioned table.
This can cause ugly things to happen if another transaction is doing
any sort of DDL to the partition concurrently.
Upgrade that lock to ShareUpdateExclusiveLock, which per discussion
seems to be the minimum needed.

When a partition is detached from its parent, we acquire locks on all
attached indexes to also detach them ... but we release those locks
immediately. This is a violation of the policy of keeping locks on user
objects to the end of the transaction. Bug introduced in 8b08f7d482.
It's unclear that there are any ill effects possible, but it's clearly
wrong nonetheless. It's likely that bad behavior *is* possible, but
mostly because the relation that the index is for is only locked with
AccessShareLock, which is an older bug that shall be fixed separately.
While touching that line of code, close the index opened with
index_open() using index_close() instead of relation_close().
No difference in practice, but let's be consistent.

The flag for IF NOT EXISTS was only being passed down in the normal
recursing case. It's been this way since originally added in 9.6 in
commit 2cd40adb85 so backpatch back to 9.6.
