Commit 9e8da0f7 taught nbtree to handle ScalarArrayOpExpr quals
natively. This works by pushing down the full context (the array keys)
to the nbtree index AM, enabling it to execute multiple primitive index
scans that the planner treats as one continuous index scan/index path.
This earlier enhancement enabled nbtree ScalarArrayOp index-only scans.
It also allowed scans with ScalarArrayOp quals to return ordered results
(with some notable restrictions, described further down).
Take this general approach a lot further: teach nbtree SAOP index scans
to decide how to execute ScalarArrayOp scans (when and where to start
the next primitive index scan) based on physical index characteristics.
This can be far more efficient. All SAOP scans will now reliably avoid
duplicative leaf page accesses (just like any other nbtree index scan).
SAOP scans whose array keys are naturally clustered together now require
far fewer index descents, since we'll reliably avoid starting a new
primitive scan just to get to a later offset from the same leaf page.
The scan's arrays now advance using binary searches for the array
element that best matches the next tuple's attribute value. Required
scan key arrays (i.e. arrays from scan keys that can terminate the scan)
ratchet forward in lockstep with the index scan. Non-required arrays
(i.e. arrays from scan keys that can only exclude non-matching tuples)
"advance" without the process ever rolling over to a higher-order array.
Naturally, only required SAOP scan keys trigger skipping over leaf pages
(non-required arrays cannot safely end or start primitive index scans).
Consequently, even index scans of a composite index with a high-order
inequality scan key (which we'll mark required) and a low-order SAOP
scan key (which we won't mark required) now avoid repeating leaf page
accesses -- that benefit isn't limited to simpler equality-only cases.
In general, all nbtree index scans now output tuples as if they were one
continuous index scan -- even scans that mix a high-order inequality
with lower-order SAOP equalities reliably output tuples in index order.
This allows us to remove a couple of special cases that were applied
when building index paths with SAOP clauses during planning.
Bugfix commit 807a40c5 taught the planner to avoid generating unsafe
path keys: path keys on a multicolumn index path, with a SAOP clause on
any attribute beyond the first/most significant attribute. These cases
are now all safe, so we go back to generating path keys without regard
for the presence of SAOP clauses (just like with any other clause type).
Affected queries can now exploit scan output order in all the usual ways
(e.g., certain "ORDER BY ... LIMIT n" queries can now terminate early).
Also undo changes from follow-up bugfix commit a4523c5a, which taught
the planner to produce alternative index paths, with path keys, but
without low-order SAOP index quals (filter quals were used instead).
We'll no longer generate these alternative paths, since they can no
longer offer any meaningful advantages over standard index qual paths.
Affected queries thereby avoid all of the disadvantages that come from
using filter quals within index scan nodes. They can avoid extra heap
page accesses from using filter quals to exclude non-matching tuples
(index quals will never have that problem). They can also skip over
irrelevant sections of the index in more cases (though only when nbtree
determines that starting another primitive scan actually makes sense).
There is a theoretical risk that removing restrictions on SAOP index
paths from the planner will break compatibility with amcanorder-based
index AMs maintained as extensions. Such an index AM could have the
same limitations around ordered SAOP scans as nbtree had up until now.
Adding a pro forma incompatibility item about the issue to the Postgres
17 release notes seems like a good idea.

After encountering the NUL terminator, the word-at-a-time loop exits
and we must hash the remaining bytes. Previously we calculated
the terminator's position and re-loaded the remaining bytes from
the input string. This was slower than the unaligned case for very
short strings. We already have all the data we need in a register,
so let's just mask off the bytes we need and hash them immediately.
In addition to endianness issues, the previous attempt upset valgrind
in the way it computed the mask. Whether by accident or by wisdom,
the author's proposed method passes locally with valgrind 3.22.

The BAS_VACUUM ring size has been 256kB since commit d526575f introduced
the mechanism 17 years ago. Commit 1cbbee03 recently made it
configurable but retained the traditional default. The correct default
size has been debated for years, but 256kB is certainly very small.
VACUUM soon needs to write back data it dirtied only 32 blocks ago,
which usually requires flushing the WAL. New experiments in prefetching
pages for VACUUM exacerbated the problem by crashing into dirty data
even sooner. Let's make the default 2MB. That's 1.6% of the default
toy buffer pool size, and 0.2% of 1GB, which would be a considered a
small shared_buffers setting for a real system these days. Users are
still free to set the GUC to a different value.

Fix a mistake in ac81101551 - write_reconstructed_file() called
copy_file_range() without properly checking HAVE_COPY_FILE_RANGE.
Reported by several macOS machines. Also reported by cfbot, but I missed
that issue before commit.
This commit allows using copy_file_range() for efficient combining of
data from multiple files, instead of simply reading/writing the blocks.
Depending on the filesystem and other factors (size of the increment,
distribution of modified blocks etc.) this may be faster than the
block-by-block copy, but more importantly it enables various features
provided by CoW filesystems.
If a checksum needs to be calculated for the file, the same strategy as
when copying whole files is used - copy_file_range is used to copy the
blocks, but the file is also read for the checksum calculation.
While the checksum calculation is rarely needed when cloning whole
files, when reconstructing the files from multiple backups it needs to
happen almost always (the only exception is when the user specified
--no-manifest).

Adds --clone/--copy-file-range options to pg_combinebackup, to allow
copying files using file cloning or copy_file_range(). These methods may
be faster than the standard block-by-block copy, but the main advantage
is that they enable various features provided by CoW filesystems.
This commit only uses these copy methods for files that did not change
and can be copied as a whole from a single backup.
These new copy methods may not be available on all platforms, in which
case the command throws an error (immediately, even if no files would be
copied as a whole). This early failure seems better than failing later
when trying to copy the first file, after performing a lot of work on
earlier files.
If the requested copy method is available, but a checksum needs to be
recalculated (e.g. because of a different checksum type), the file is
still copied using the requested method, but it is also read for the
checksum calculation. Depending on the filesystem this may be more
expensive than just performing the simple copy, but it does enable the
CoW benefits.

Align blocks stored in incremental files to BLCKSZ, so that the
incremental backups work well with CoW filesystems.
The header of the incremental file is padded with \0 to a multiple of
BLCKSZ, so that the block data (also BLCKSZ) is aligned to BLCKSZ. The
padding is added only to files containing block data, so files with just
the header remain small. This adds a bit of extra space, but as the
number of blocks increases the overhead gets negligible very quickly.
And as the padding is \0 bytes, it does compress extremely well.
The alignment is important for CoW filesystems that usually require the
blocks to be aligned to filesystem page size for features like block
sharing, deduplication etc. to work well. With the variable sized header
the blocks in the increments were not aligned at all, negating the
benefits of the CoW filesystems.
This matters even for non-CoW filesystems, for example when placed on a
RAID array. If the block is not aligned, it may easily span multiple
devices, causing read and write amplification.
It might be better to align the blocks to the filesystem page, not
BLCKSZ, but we have no good way to determine that. Even if we determine
the page size at the time of taking the backup, the backup may move. For
now the BLCKSZ seems sufficient - the filesystem page is usually 4K, so
the default BLCKSZ (8K by default) is aligned to that.

The current design behind the automatic generation of the C code and
documentation related to wait events introduced in fa88928470 does not
offer a way to attach new wait events without breaking ABI
compatibility, as all the events are forcibly reordered for each section
in the input file wait_event_names.txt. Adding new wait events to
stable branches is something that has happened in the past, 0b6517a3b7
being a recent example of that with VERSION_FILE_SYNC, so we need a way
to generate any C code for wait events while maintaining compatibility
on stable branches already released.
This commit solves this issue by adding a new region called
"ABI_compatibility" (keyword could be updated to something else if
someone had a better idea) to each section of wait_event_names.txt, so
as one can add new wait events to stable branches in
wait_event_names.txt while keeping the code ABI-compatible.
"ABI_compatibility" has no impact on the documentation generated: all
the wait events of one section are still alphabetically ordered. LWLock
and Lock sections generate their C code elsewhere, so they do not need
an "ABI_compatibility" region.
For example, let's imagine a wait_event_names.txt like that:
Section: ClassName - Foo
FOO_1 "Waiting in Foo 1"
FOO_2 "Waiting in Foo 2"
ABI_compatibility:
NEW_FOO_1 "Waiting in New Foo 1"
NEW_BAR_1 "Waiting in New Bar 1"
This results in the following enum, where the events in the ABI region
are listed last with the same ordering as in wait_event_names.txt:
typedef enum
{
WAIT_EVENT_FOO_1,
WAIT_EVENT_FOO_2,
WAIT_EVENT_NEW_FOO_1,
WAIT_EVENT_NEW_BAR_1
} WaitEventFoo;
New wait events added in stable branches should be added at the end of
each ABI_compatibility region, and ABI_compatibility should remain empty
on HEAD and unreleased stable branches.
This design has been suggested by Noah Misch and me.

ecpg wants to emit a warning if it parses a SQL construct that the

error for. The way it was testing for this was to see if the string
ERRCODE_FEATURE_NOT_SUPPORTED appeared anywhere in the gram.y code.
This is, of course, not nearly good enough, as there are plenty of
rules in gram.y that throw that error only conditionally. There was

doesn't even exist anymore, but nothing for other cases we've created
since then. End result was that you could get "unsupported feature

it was exposed by the recent addition of an ecpg test for a SQL/JSON
construct.
To fix, suppress the warning if the rule contains any "if" statement.
Manual comparison of gram.y with the generated preproc.y file shows
that the warning is now emitted only in rules where it's sensible.

JSON_TABLE() allows JSON data to be converted into a relational view
and thus used, for example, in a FROM clause, like other tabular
data. Data to show in the view is selected from a source JSON object
using a JSON path expression to get a sequence of JSON objects that's
called a "row pattern", which becomes the source to compute the
SQL/JSON values that populate the view's output columns. Column
values themselves are computed using JSON path expressions applied to
each of the JSON objects comprising the "row pattern", for which the
SQL/JSON query functions added in 6185c9737c are used.
To implement JSON_TABLE() as a table function, this augments the
TableFunc and TableFuncScanState nodes that are currently used to
support XMLTABLE() with some JSON_TABLE()-specific fields.
Note that the JSON_TABLE() spec includes NESTED COLUMNS and PLAN
clauses, which are required to provide more flexibility to extract
data out of nested JSON objects, but they are not implemented here
to keep this commit of manageable size.

This parser uses an explicit prediction stack, unlike the present
recursive descent parser where the parser state is represented on the
call stack. This difference makes the new parser suitable for use in
incremental parsing of huge JSON documents that cannot be conveniently
handled piece-wise by the recursive descent parser. One potential use
for this will be in parsing large backup manifests associated with
incremental backups.
Because this parser is somewhat slower than the recursive descent
parser, it is not replacing that parser, but is an additional parser
available to callers.
For testing purposes, if the build is done with -DFORCE_JSON_PSTACK, all
JSON parsing is done with the non-recursive parser, in which case only
trivial regression differences in error messages should be observed.

The current representation is inconvenient going forward; notably, we
