This commit changes libpq so that errors reported by the backend during
the protocol negotiation for SSL and GSS are discarded by the client, as
these may include bytes that could be consumed by the client and write
arbitrary bytes to a client's terminal.
A failure with the SSL negotiation now leads to an error immediately
reported, without a retry on any other methods allowed, like a fallback
to a plaintext connection.
A failure with GSS discards the error message received, and we allow a
fallback as it may be possible that the error is caused by a connection
attempt with a pre-11 server, GSS encryption having been introduced in
v12. This was a problem only with v17 and newer versions; older
versions discard the error message already in this case, assuming a
failure caused by a lack of support for GSS encryption.

Commit ac04aa84a put the shutoff for this into the planner, which is
not ideal because it doesn't prevent us from re-using a previously
made parallel plan. Revert the planner change and instead put the
shutoff into InitializeParallelDSM, modeling it on the existing code
there for recovering from failure to allocate a DSM segment.
However, that code path is mostly untested, and testing a bit harder
showed there's at least one bug: ExecHashJoinReInitializeDSM is not
prepared for us to have skipped doing parallel DSM setup. I also
thought the Assert in ReinitializeParallelWorkers is pretty
ill-advised, and replaced it with a silent Min() operation.
The existing test case added by ac04aa84a serves fine to test this
version of the fix, so no change needed there.
Patch by me, but thanks to Noah Misch for the core idea that we
could shut off worker creation when !INTERRUPTS_CAN_BE_PROCESSED.

If the collation of any join key column doesn’t match the collation of
the corresponding partition key, partitionwise joins can yield incorrect
results. For example, rows that would match under the join key collation
might be located in different partitions due to the partitioning
collation. In such cases, a partitionwise join would yield different
results from a non-partitionwise join, so disallow it in such cases.

If the collation of any grouping column doesn’t match the collation of
the corresponding partition key, partitionwise grouping can yield
incorrect results. For example, rows that would be grouped under the
grouping collation may end up in different partitions under the
partitioning collation. In such cases, full partitionwise grouping
would produce results that differ from those without partitionwise
grouping, so disallowed that.
Partial partitionwise aggregation is still allowed, as the Finalize
step reconciles partition-level aggregates with grouping requirements
across all partitions, ensuring that the final output remains
consistent.
This commit also fixes group_by_has_partkey() by ensuring the
RelabelType node is stripped from grouping expressions when matching
them to partition key expressions to avoid false mismatches.

Supply a new memory manager for RuntimeDyld, to avoid crashes in
generated code caused by memory placement that can overflow a 32 bit
data type. This is a drop-in replacement for the
llvm::SectionMemoryManager class in the LLVM library, with Michael
Smith's proposed fix from
https://www.github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/71968.
We hereby slurp it into our own source tree, after moving into a new
namespace llvm::backport and making some minor adjustments so that it
can be compiled with older LLVM versions as far back as 12. It's harder
to make it work on even older LLVM versions, but it doesn't seem likely
that people are really using them so that is not investigated for now.
The problem could also be addressed by switching to JITLink instead of
RuntimeDyld, and that is the LLVM project's recommended solution as
the latter is about to be deprecated. We'll have to do that soon enough
anyway, and then when the LLVM version support window advances far
enough in a few years we'll be able to delete this code. Unfortunately
that wouldn't be enough for PostgreSQL today: in most relevant versions
of LLVM, JITLink is missing or incomplete.
Several other projects have already back-ported this fix into their fork
of LLVM, which is a vote of confidence despite the lack of commit into
LLVM as of today. We don't have our own copy of LLVM so we can't do
exactly what they've done; instead we have a copy of the whole patched
class so we can pass an instance of it to RuntimeDyld.
The LLVM project hasn't chosen to commit the fix yet, and even if it
did, it wouldn't be back-ported into the releases of LLVM that most of
our users care about, so there is not much point in waiting any longer
for that. If they make further changes and commit it to LLVM 19 or 20,
we'll still need this for older versions, but we may want to
resynchronize our copy and update some comments.
The changes that we've had to make to our copy can be seen by diffing
our SectionMemoryManager.{h,cpp} files against the ones in the tree of
the pull request. Per the LLVM project's license requirements, a copy
is in SectionMemoryManager.LICENSE.
This should fix the spate of crash reports we've been receiving lately
from users on large memory ARM systems.

PgStat_HashKey is currently initialized in a way that could result in

has no padding bytes currently, fortunately, but it could become a

The code is changed to use some memset(0) so as any padding would be
handled properly, as it would be surprising to see random failures in

Coverity complained that pg_saslprep() could suffer integer overflow,
leading to under-allocation of the output buffer, if the input string

easy enough to defend against, so let's do so.
This patch creates a third place in src/common/ where we are locally
defining MaxAllocSize so that we can test against that in the same way
in backend and frontend compiles. That seems like about two places
too many, so the next patch will move that into common/fe_memutils.h.
I'm hesitant to do that in back branches however.

An inplace update's invalidation messages are part of its transaction's

aborts or we stop recovery before replaying its transaction commit.
After recovery, a backend that started in recovery could update the row

... to fix bugs when the referenced table is partitioned.
The catalog representation we chose for foreign keys connecting
partitioned tables (in commit f56f8f8da6) is inconvenient, in the
sense that a standalone table has a different way to represent the
constraint when referencing a partitioned table, than when the same
table becomes a partition (and vice versa). Because of this, we need to
create additional catalog rows on detach (pg_constraint and pg_trigger),
and remove them on attach. We were doing some of those things, but not
all of them, leading to missing catalog rows in certain cases.
The worst problem seems to be that we are missing action triggers after
detaching a partition, which means that you could update/delete rows
from the referenced partitioned table that still had referencing rows on
that table, the server failing to throw the required errors.
!!!
Note that this means existing databases with FKs that reference
partitioned tables might have rows that break relational integrity, on
tables that were once partitions on the referencing side of the FK.
Another possible problem is that trying to reattach a table
that had been detached would fail indicating that internal triggers
cannot be found, which from the user's point of view is nonsensical.
In branches 15 and above, we fix this by creating a new helper function
addFkConstraint() which is in charge of creating a standalone
pg_constraint row, and repurposing addFkRecurseReferencing() and
addFkRecurseReferenced() so that they're only the recursive routine for
each side of the FK, and they call addFkConstraint() to create
pg_constraint at each partitioning level and add the necessary triggers.
These new routines can be used during partition creation, partition
attach and detach, and foreign key creation. This reduces redundant
code and simplifies the flow.
In branches 14 and 13, we have a much simpler fix that consists on
simply removing the constraint on detach. The reason is that those
branches are missing commit f4566345cf, which reworked the way this
works in a way that we didn't consider back-patchable at the time.
We opted to leave branch 12 alone, because it's different from branch 13
enough that the fix doesn't apply; and because it is going in EOL mode
very soon, patching it now might be worse since there's no way to undo
the damage if it goes wrong.
Existing databases might need to be repaired.
In the future we might want to rethink the catalog representation to
avoid this problem, but for now the code seems to do what's required to
make the constraints operate correctly.

The finished transaction list can contain XIDs that are older than the
serializable global xmin. It's a short-lived state;
ClearOldPredicateLocks() removes any such transactions from the list,
and it's called whenever the global xmin advances. But if another
backend calls SummarizeOldestCommittedSxact() in that window, it will
call SerialAdd() on an XID that's older than the global xmin, or if

The decision in b6e1157e7 to ignore raw_expr when evaluating a
JsonValueExpr was incorrect. While its value is not ultimately
used (since formatted_expr's value is), failing to initialize it
can lead to problems, for instance, when the expression tree in
raw_expr contains Aggref nodes, which must be initialized to
ensure the parent Agg node works correctly.
Also, optimize eval_const_expressions_mutator()'s handling of
JsonValueExpr a bit. Currently, when formatted_expr cannot be folded
into a constant, we end up processing it twice -- once directly in
eval_const_expressions_mutator() and again recursively via
ece_generic_processing(). This recursive processing is required to
handle raw_expr. To avoid the redundant processing of formatted_expr,
we now process raw_expr directly in eval_const_expressions_mutator().
Finally, update the comment of JsonValueExpr to describe the roles of
raw_expr and formatted_expr more clearly.

After repartitioning the inner side of a hash join that would have
exceeded the allowed size, we check if all the tuples from a parent
partition moved to one child partition. That is evidence that it
contains duplicate keys and later attempts to repartition will also
fail, so we should give up trying to limit memory (for lack of a better
fallback strategy).
A thinko prevented the check from working correctly in partition 0 (the
one that is partially loaded into memory already). After
repartitioning, we should check for extreme skew if the *parent*
partition's space_exhausted flag was set, not the child partition's.
The consequence was repeated futile repartitioning until per-partition
data exceeded various limits including "ERROR: invalid DSA memory alloc
request size 1811939328", OS allocation failure, or temporary disk space
errors. (We could also do something about some of those symptoms, but
that's material for separate patches.)
This problem only became likely when PostgreSQL 16 introduced support
for Parallel Hash Right/Full Join, allowing NULL keys into the hash
table. Repartitioning always leaves NULL in partition 0, no matter how
many times you do it, because the hash value is all zero bits. That's
unlikely for other hashed values, but they might still have caused
wasted extra effort before giving up.

Commit 2dc1deaea turns out to have been still a brick shy of a load,
because CALL statements executing within a plpgsql exception block
could still pass the wrong snapshot to stable functions within the
CALL's argument list. That happened because standard_ProcessUtility
forces isAtomicContext to true if IsTransactionBlock is true, which
it always will be inside a subtransaction. Then ExecuteCallStmt
would think it does not need to push a new snapshot --- but
_SPI_execute_plan didn't do so either, since it thought it was in
nonatomic mode.
The best fix for this seems to be for _SPI_execute_plan to operate
in atomic execution mode if IsSubTransaction() is true, even when the
SPI context as a whole is non-atomic. This makes _SPI_execute_plan
have the same rules about when non-atomic execution is allowed as
_SPI_commit/_SPI_rollback have about when COMMIT/ROLLBACK are allowed,
which seems appropriately symmetric. (If anyone ever tries to allow
COMMIT/ROLLBACK inside a subtransaction, this would all need to be
rethought ... but I'm unconvinced that such a thing could be logically
consistent at all.)
For further consistency, also check IsSubTransaction() in
SPI_inside_nonatomic_context. That does not matter for its
one present-day caller StartTransaction, which can't be reached
inside a subtransaction. But if any other callers ever arise,
they'd presumably want this definition.

Commit a4ccc1cef introduced the Generation Context and modified the
logical decoding process to use a Generation Context with a fixed
block size of 8MB for storing tuple data decoded during logical
decoding (i.e., rb->tup_context). Several reports have indicated that
the logical decoding process can be terminated due to
out-of-memory (OOM) situations caused by excessive memory usage in
rb->tup_context.
This issue can occur when decoding a workload involving several
concurrent transactions, including a long-running transaction that
modifies tuples. By design, the Generation Context does not free a
memory block until all chunks within that block are
released. Consequently, if tuples modified by the long-running
transaction are stored across multiple memory blocks, these blocks
remain allocated until the long-running transaction completes, leading
to substantial memory fragmentation. The memory usage during logical
decoding, tracked by rb->size, does not account for memory
fragmentation, resulting in potentially much higher memory consumption
than the value of the logical_decoding_work_mem parameter.
Various improvement strategies were discussed in the relevant
thread. This change reduces the block size of the Generation Context
used in rb->tup_context from 8MB to 8kB. This modification
significantly decreases the likelihood of substantial memory
fragmentation occurring and is relatively straightforward to
backport. Performance testing across multiple platforms has confirmed
that this change will not introduce any performance degradation that
would impact actual operation.
Backport to all supported branches.

Attempting to use an interval of time less than 1ms would cause \watch
to hang. This was confusing, so let's change the logic so as an
interval lower than 1ms behaves the same as 0.
Comments are added to mention that the internals of do_watch() had
better rely on "sleep_ms", the interval value in milliseconds. While on
it, this commit adds a test to check the behavior of interval values
less than 1ms.
\watch hanging for interval values less than 1ms existed before
6f9ee74d45, that has changed the code to support an interval value of
0.

find_computable_ec_member() had the wrong mental model of what
its primary caller prepare_sort_from_pathkeys() would do with
the selected EquivalenceClass member expression. We will not
compute the EC expression in a plan node atop the one returning
the passed-in targetlist; rather, the EC expression will be
computed as an additional column of that targetlist. So any
Var or quasi-Var used in the given tlist is also available to the
EC expression. In simple cases this makes no difference because
the given tlist is just a list of Vars or quasi-Vars --- but if
we are considering an appendrel member produced by flattening
a UNION ALL, the tlist may contain expressions, resulting in
failure to match and a "could not find pathkey item to sort"
error.
To fix, we can flatten both the tlist and the EC members with
pull_var_clause(), and then just check for subset-ness, so
that the code is actually shorter than before.
While this bug is quite old, the present patch only works back to
v13. We could possibly make it work in v12 by back-patching parts
of 375398244. On the whole though I don't like the risk/reward
ratio of that idea. v12's final release is next month, meaning
there would be no chance to correct matters if the patch causes a
regression. Since this failure has escaped notice for 14 years,
it's likely nobody will hit it in the field with v12.

Commit 149ac7d455 which re-implemented pgindent in Perl explicitly
imported the devnull function from File::Spec, but the module does
not export anything. In recent versions of Perl calling a missing
import function cause a warning, which combined with warnings being
fatal cause pgindent to error out.
Backpatch to all supported versions.

The test was unstable in branches 14 and 15 as we were relying on the
number of changes in the table having a toast column to start streaming.
On branches >= 16, we have a GUC debug_logical_replication_streaming which
can stream each change, so the test was stable in those branches.
Change the test to use PREPARE TRANSACTION as that should make the result
consistent and test the code changed in 022564f60c.

Commit 1ab67c9dfa, which modified this catalog query so that it
doesn't return temporary relations, forgot to schema-qualify the
operator. A comment earlier in the function implores us to fully
qualify everything in the query:
* Since we execute the constructed query with the default search_path
* (which could be unsafe), everything in this query MUST be fully
* qualified.
This commit fixes that. While at it, add a newline for consistency
with surrounding code.

Several places treat MyStartTime as a "long", which is only 32 bits
wide on some platforms. In reality, MyStartTime is a pg_time_t,
i.e., a signed 64-bit integer. This will lead to interesting bugs
on the aforementioned systems in 2038 when signed 32-bit integers
are no longer sufficient to store Unix time (e.g., "pg_ctl start"
hanging). To fix, ensure that MyStartTime is handled as a 64-bit
value everywhere. (Of course, users will need to ensure that
time_t is 64 bits wide on their system, too.)

During logical decoding of in-progress transactions, we perform the toast
table scan while fetching the default toast value for an attribute. We
forgot to initialize the flag during this scan to indicate that the system
table scan is in progress. We need this flag to ensure that during logical
decoding we never directly access the tableam or heap APIs because we check
for concurrent aborts only in systable_* APIs.

pg_cursor() supposed that any Portal it finds in the hash table must
have sourceText set up, but there's an edge case where that is not so.
A newly-created Portal has sourceText = NULL, and that doesn't change
until PortalDefineQuery is called. In SPI_cursor_open_internal,
we perform GetCachedPlan between CreatePortal and PortalDefineQuery,
and it's possible for user-defined code to execute during that
planning and cause a fetch from the pg_cursors view, resulting in a
null-pointer-dereference crash. (It looks like the same could happen
in exec_bind_message, but I've not tried to provoke a failure there.)
I considered trying to fix this by setting sourceText sooner, but
there may be instances of this same calling pattern in extensions,
and we couldn't be sure they'd get the memo promptly. It seems
better to redefine pg_cursor as not showing Portals that have
not yet had PortalDefineQuery called on them, which we can do by
just skipping them if sourceText is still NULL.
(Before a1c692358, pg_cursor would instead return a row with NULL
in the statement column. We could revert to that behavior but it
doesn't really seem like a better definition, especially since our
documentation doesn't suggest that the column could be NULL.)

Commit bf03cfd1 started scanning all available BCP 47 locale names on
Windows. This caused an abort/crash in the Windows runtime library if
the default locale name contained non-ASCII characters, because of our
use of the setlocale() save/restore pattern with "char" strings. After
switching to another locale with a different encoding, the saved name
could no longer be understood, and setlocale() would abort.
"Turkish_Türkiye.1254" is the example from recent reports, but there are
other examples of countries and languages with non-ASCII characters in
their names, and they appear in Windows' (old style) locale names.
To defend against this:
1. In initdb, reject non-ASCII locale names given explicity on the
command line, or returned by the operating system environment with
setlocale(..., ""), or "canonicalized" by the operating system when we
set it.
2. In initdb only, perform the save-and-restore with Windows'
non-standard wchar_t variant of setlocale(), so that it is not subject
to round trip failures stemming from char string encoding confusion.
3. In the backend, we don't have to worry about the save-and-restore
problem because we have already vetted the defaults, so we just have to
make sure that CREATE DATABASE also rejects non-ASCII names in any new
databases. SET lc_XXX doesn't suffer from the problem, but the ban
applies to it too because it uses check_locale(). CREATE COLLATION
doesn't suffer from the problem either, but it doesn't use
check_locale() so it is not included in the new ban for now, to minimize
the change.
Anyone who encounters the new error message should either create a new
duplicated locale with an ASCII-only name using Windows Locale Builder,
or consider using BCP 47 names like "tr-TR". Users already couldn't
initialize a cluster with "Turkish_Türkiye.1254" on PostgreSQL 16+, but
the new failure mode is an error message that explains why, instead of a
crash.
Back-patch to 16, where bf03cfd1 landed. Older versions are affected
in theory too, but only 16 and later are causing crash reports.

Use pqParseIntParam (nee parse_int_param) instead of using strtol
directly. This allows trailing whitespace, which the previous coding
didn't, and makes the spelling of the error message consistent with
other similar cases.
This seems to be an oversight in commit e7a221797, which introduced
parse_int_param. That fixed places that were using atoi(), but missed
this place which was randomly using strtol() instead.
Ordinarily I'd consider this minor cleanup not worth back-patching.
However, it seems that ecpg assumes it can add trailing whitespace
to URL parameters, so that use of the keepalives option fails in
that context. Perhaps that's worth improving as a separate matter.
In the meantime, back-patch this to all supported branches.
