This eliminates MultiXactOffset wraparound and the 2^32 limit on the
total number of multixid members. Multixids are still limited to 2^31,
but this is a nice improvement because 'members' can grow much faster
than the number of multixids. On such systems, you can now run longer
before hitting hard limits or triggering anti-wraparound vacuums.
Not having to deal with MultiXactOffset wraparound also simplifies the
code and removes some gnarly corner cases.
We no longer need to perform emergency anti-wraparound freezing
because of running out of 'members' space, so the offset stop limit is
gone. But you might still not want 'members' to consume huge amounts
of disk space. For that reason, I kept the logic for lowering vacuum's
multixid freezing cutoff if a large amount of 'members' space is
used. The thresholds for that are roughly the same as the "safe" and
"danger" thresholds used before, 2 billion transactions and 4 billion
transactions. This keeps the behavior for the freeze cutoff roughly
the same as before. It might make sense to make this smarter or
configurable, now that the threshold is only needed to manage disk
usage, but that's left for the future.
Add code to pg_upgrade to convert multitransactions from the old to
the new format, rewriting the pg_multixact SLRU files. Because
pg_upgrade now rewrites the files, we can get rid of some hacks we had
put in place to deal with old bugs and upgraded clusters. Bump catalog
version for the pg_multixact/offsets format change.

This test module acts as a replacement that existed prior to
d52c24b0f8 in the test module injection_points. It uses a more
flexible structure than its ancestor:
- Two libraries are built, one for fixed-sized stats and one for
variable-sized stats.
- No GUCs required. The stats are enabled only if one or both libraries
are loaded with shared_preload_libraries.
- Same kind IDs reserved: 25 (variable-sized) and 26 (fixed-sized)
The goal of this redesign is to be able to easier extend the code
coverage provided by this module for other changes that are currently
under discussion, and injection_points was not suited for these.
Injection points are also now widely used in the tree now, so extending
more the test coverage for custom pgstats in the test module
injection_points would be a riskier long-term move.
The new code is mostly a copy of what existed previously in the test
module injection_points, with the same callbacks defined for fixed-sized
and variable-sized stats, but a simpler overall structure in terms of
the stats counters updated.
The test coverage should remain the same as previously: one TAP test is
used to check data reports, crash recovery and clean restart scenarios.
Tests are added for the manual reset of fixed-sized stats, something
not tested until now.

The test module injection_points has been used as a landing spot to
provide coverage for the custom pgstats APIs, for both fixed-sized and
variable-sized stats kinds. Some recent work related to pgstats is
proving that this structure makes the implementation of new tests
harder.
This commit removes the code related to pgstats from injection_points,
and an equivalent will be reintroduced as a separate test module in a
follow-up commit. This removal is done in its own commit for clarity.
Using injection_points for this test coverage was perhaps not the best
way to design things, but this was good enough while working on the
first flavor of the custom pgstats APIs. Using a new test module will
make easier the introduction of new tests, and we will not need to worry
about the impact of new changes related to custom pgstats could have
with the internals of injection_points.

This function reads the lines from a file and filters its contents to
report its head and tail contents. The amount of contents to read from
a file can be tuned by the environment variable PG_TEST_FILE_READ_LINES,
that can be used to override the default of 50 lines. If the file whose
content is read has less lines than two times PG_TEST_FILE_READ_LINES,
the whole file is returned.
This will be used in a follow-up commit to limit the amount of
information reported by some of the TAP tests on failure, where we have
noticed that the contents reported by the buildfarm can be heavily
bloated in some cases, with the head and tail contents of a report being
able to provide enough information to be useful for debugging.

Commit 76b78721ca introduced two new columns in pg_stat_replication_slots
to improve monitoring of slot synchronization. One of these columns was
named slotsync_skip_at, which is inconsistent with the naming convention
used for similar columns in other system views.
Columns that store timestamps of the most recent event typically use the
'last_' in the column name (e.g., last_autovacuum, checksum_last_failure).
Renaming slotsync_skip_at to slotsync_last_skip aligns with this pattern,
making the purpose of the column clearer and improving overall consistency
across the views.

* pg_buffercache_mark_dirty() for one shared buffer.
- pg_buffercache_mark_dirt_relation() for all the shared buffers in a
relation.
* pg_buffercache_mark_dirty_all() for all the shared buffers in pool.
The "_all" and "_relation" flavors are designed to address the
inefficiency of repeatedly calling pg_buffercache_mark_dirty() for each
individual buffer, which can be time-consuming when dealing with with
large shared buffers pool.
These functions are intended as developer tools and are available only
to superusers. There is no need to bump the version of pg_buffercache,

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.

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.

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.

The existing format of pg_dependencies uses a single-object JSON
structure, with each key value embedding all the knowledge about the
set attributes tracked, like:
{"1 => 5": 1.000000, "5 => 1": 0.423130}
While this is a very compact format, it is confusing to read and it is
difficult to manipulate the values within the object, particularly when
tracking multiple attributes.
The new output format introduced in this commit is a JSON array of
objects, with:
- A key named "degree", with a float value.
- A key named "attributes", with an array of attribute numbers.
- A key named "dependency", with an attribute number.

This new format will become handy for a follow-up set of changes, so as
it becomes possible to inject extended statistics rather than require an
ANALYZE, like in a dump/restore sequence or after pg_upgrade on a new
cluster.
This format has been suggested by Tomas Vondra. The key names are

This new format will become handy for a follow-up set of changes, so as
it becomes possible to inject extended statistics rather than require an
ANALYZE, like in a dump/restore sequence or after pg_upgrade on a new
cluster.
This format has been suggested by Tomas Vondra. The key names are
defined in a new header, to ease with the integration of
frontend-specific changes that are still under discussion. (Personal
note: I am not specifically wedded to these key names, but if there are
better name suggestions for this release, feel free.)
The bulk of the changes come from the regression tests, where
jsonb_pretty() is now used to make the outputs generated easier to
parse.

Path expansion might expose characters like spaces which would cause
command failure, so double-quote the examples. While %f doesn't need
quoting since it uses a fixed character set, it is best to be
consistent.

This reverts commit 1fd981f053, based on concerns that the logging
improvements do not justify the protocol breakage of dropping an unnamed
portal once its execution has completed.
It seems unlikely that one would try to send an execute or describe
message after the portal has been used, but if they do such
post-completion messages would not be able to process as the previous
versions. Let's revert this change for now so as we keep compatibility
and consider a different solution.
The tests added by 76bba03312 track the pre-1fd981f05369 behavior, and
are still valid.

Much of the "Replication Slot" chapter applies to physical and logical
slots, but it was sloppy in mentioning mostly physical slots. This
patch clarified which parts of the text apply to which slot types.
This chapter is referenced from the logical slot/subscriber chapter, so
it needs to do double duty.
Backpatch-through: master
Also mention that logical replication slots are created by default when
subscriptions are created. This should clarify the text.
Backpatch-through: master
Previously it was not clear that "physical" replication slots were being
discussed, and that they needed to be created on the primary and not the
standby.
