Commit 4518c798 blocks signals for a short region of code, but it
assumed that whatever called it had the signal mask set to UnBlockSig on
entry. That may be true today (or may even not be, in extensions in the
wild), but it would be better not to make that assumption. We should
save-and-restore the caller's signal mask.
The PG_SETMASK() portability macro couldn't be used for that, which is
why it wasn't done before. But... considering that commit a65e0864
established back in 9.6 that supported POSIX systems have sigprocmask(),
and that this is POSIX-only code, there is no reason not to use standard
sigprocmask() directly to achieve that.
Back-patch to all supported releases, like 4518c798 and 80845b7c.

On Linux, we call posix_fallocate() on shm_open()'d memory to avoid
later potential SIGBUS (see commit 899bd785).
Based on field reports of systems stuck in an EINTR retry loop there,
there, we made it possible to break out of that loop via slightly odd
coding where the CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() call was somewhat removed from
the loop (see commit 422952ee).
On further reflection, that was not a great choice for at least two
reasons:
1. If interrupts were held, the CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() would do nothing
and the EINTR error would be surfaced to the user.
2. If EINTR was reported but neither QueryCancelPending nor
ProcDiePending was set, then we'd dutifully retry, but with a bit more
understanding of how posix_fallocate() works, it's now clear that you
can get into a loop that never terminates. posix_fallocate() is not a
function that can do some of the job and tell you about progress if it's
interrupted, it has to undo what it's done so far and report EINTR, and
if signals keep arriving faster than it can complete (cf recovery
conflict signals), you're stuck.
Therefore, for now, we'll simply block most signals to guarantee
progress. SIGQUIT is not blocked (see InitPostmasterChild()), because
its expected handler doesn't return, and unblockable signals like
SIGCONT are not expected to arrive at a high rate. For good measure,
we'll include the ftruncate() call in the blocked region, and add a
retry loop.

Commit 054325c5ee created a memory leak in PQsendQueryInternal in case
an error occurs while sending the message. Repair.
Backpatch to 14, like that commit. Reported by Coverity.
Justin Pryzby reported that some scenarios could cause gathering
of extended statistics to spend many seconds in an un-cancelable
qsort() operation. To fix, invent qsort_interruptible(), which is
just like qsort_arg() except that it will also do CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS
every so often. This bloats the backend by a couple of kB, which
seems like a good investment. (We considered just enabling
CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS in the existing qsort and qsort_arg functions,
but there are some callers for which that'd demonstrably be unsafe.
Opt-in seems like a better way.)
For now, just apply qsort_interruptible() in statistics collection.
There's probably more places where it could be useful, but we can
always change other call sites as we find problems.
Back-patch to v14. Before that we didn't have extended stats on

dshash.c previously maintained flags to be able to assert that you

Get rid of all that, and make assertions about the locks themselves

When locking a specific named relation for a FOR [KEY] UPDATE/SHARE
clause, transformLockingClause() finds the relation to lock by
scanning the rangetable for an RTE with a matching eref->aliasname.
However, it failed to account for the visibility rules of a join RTE.
If a join RTE doesn't have a user-supplied alias, it will have a
generated eref->aliasname of "unnamed_join" that is not visible as a
relation name in the parse namespace. Such an RTE needs to be skipped,
otherwise it might be found in preference to a regular base relation
with a user-supplied alias of "unnamed_join", preventing it from being
locked.
In addition, if a join RTE doesn't have a user-supplied alias, but
does have a join_using_alias, then the RTE needs to be matched using
that alias rather than the generated eref->aliasname, otherwise a
misleading "relation not found" error will be reported rather than a
"join cannot be locked" error.

When we changed some built-in functions to use anycompatiblearray
instead of anyarray, we created a dump/restore hazard for user-defined
operators and aggregates relying on those functions: the user objects
have to be modified to change their signatures similarly. This causes
pg_upgrade to fail partway through if the source installation contains
such objects. We generally try to have pg_upgrade detect such hazards
and fail before it does anything exciting, so add logic to detect
this case too.

We were going into IDLE state too soon when executing queries via
PQsendQuery in pipeline mode, causing several scenarios to misbehave in
different ways -- most notably, as reported by Daniele Varrazzo, that a
warning message is produced by libpq:
message type 0x33 arrived from server while idle
But it is also possible, if queries are sent and results consumed not in
lockstep, for the expected mediating NULL result values from PQgetResult
to be lost (a problem which has not been reported, but which is more
serious).
Fix this by introducing two new concepts: one is a command queue element
PGQUERY_CLOSE to tell libpq to wait for the CloseComplete server
response to the Close message that is sent by PQsendQuery. Because the
application is not expecting any PGresult from this, the mechanism to
consume it is a bit hackish.
The other concept, authored by Horiguchi-san, is a PGASYNC_PIPELINE_IDLE
state for libpq's state machine to differentiate "really idle" from
merely "the idle state that occurs in between reading results from the
server for elements in the pipeline". This makes libpq not go fully
IDLE when the libpq command queue contains entries; in normal cases, we
only go IDLE once at the end of the pipeline, when the server response
to the final SYNC message is received. (However, there are corner cases
it doesn't fix, such as terminating the query sequence by
PQsendFlushRequest instead of PQpipelineSync; this sort of scenario is
what requires PGQUERY_CLOSE bit above.)
This last bit helps make the libpq state machine clearer; in particular
we can get rid of an ugly hack in pqParseInput3 to avoid considering
IDLE as such when the command queue contains entries.
A new test mode is added to libpq_pipeline.c to tickle some related
problematic cases.

ecpglib has been calling it once per SQL query and once per EXEC SQL GET
DESCRIPTOR. Instead, if newlocale() has not succeeded before, call it
while establishing a connection. This mitigates three problems:
- If newlocale() failed in EXEC SQL GET DESCRIPTOR, the command silently
proceeded without the intended locale change.
- On AIX, each newlocale()+freelocale() cycle leaked memory.
- newlocale() CPU usage may have been nontrivial.
Fail the connection attempt if newlocale() fails. Rearrange
ecpg_do_prologue() to validate the connection before its uselocale().
The sort of program that may regress is one running in an environment
where newlocale() fails. If that program establishes connections
without running SQL statements, it will stop working in response to this
change. I'm betting against the importance of such an ECPG use case.
Most SQL execution (any using ECPGdo()) has long required newlocale()
success, so there's little a connection could do without newlocale().

Previously, we trusted the OS not to report EEXIST unless we'd passed in
IPC_CREAT | IPC_EXCL or O_CREAT | O_EXCL, as appropriate. Solaris's
shm_open() can in fact do that, causing us to crash because we didn't
ereport and then we blithely assumed the mapping was successful.
Let's treat EEXIST just like any other error, unless we're actually
trying to create a new segment. This applies to shm_open(), where this
behavior has been seen, and also to the equivalent operations for our
sysv and mmap modes just on principle.
Based on the underlying reason for the error, namely contention on a
lock file managed by Solaris librt for each distinct name, this problem
is only likely to happen on 15 and later, because the new shared memory
stats system produces shm_open() calls for the same path from
potentially large numbers of backends concurrently during
authentication. Earlier releases only shared memory segments between a
small number of parallel workers under one Gather node. You could
probably hit it if you tried hard enough though, and we should have been
more defensive in the first place. Therefore, back-patch to all

TransactionIdIsInProgress had a fast path to return 'false' if the
single-item CLOG cache said that the transaction was known to be
committed. However, that was wrong, because a transaction is first
marked as committed in the CLOG but doesn't become visible to others
until it has removed its XID from the proc array. That could lead to an
error:
ERROR: t_xmin is uncommitted in tuple to be updated
or for an UPDATE to go ahead without blocking, before the previous
UPDATE on the same row was made visible.
The window is usually very short, but synchronous replication makes it
much wider, because the wait for synchronous replica happens in that
window.
Another thing that makes it hard to hit is that it's hard to get such
a commit-in-progress transaction into the single item CLOG cache.
Normally, if you call TransactionIdIsInProgress on such a transaction,
it determines that the XID is in progress without checking the CLOG
and without populating the cache. One way to prime the cache is to
explicitly call pg_xact_status() on the XID. Another way is to use a
lot of subtransactions, so that the subxid cache in the proc array is
overflown, making TransactionIdIsInProgress rely on pg_subtrans and
CLOG checks.
This has been broken ever since it was introduced in 2008, but the race
condition is very hard to hit, especially without synchronous
replication. There were a couple of reports of the error starting from
summer 2021, but no one was able to find the root cause then.
TransactionIdIsKnownCompleted() is now unused. In 'master', remove it,
but I left it in place in backbranches in case it's used by extensions.
Also change pg_xact_status() to check TransactionIdIsInProgress().
Previously, it only checked the CLOG, and returned "committed" before
the transaction was actually made visible to other queries. Note that
this also means that you cannot use pg_xact_status() to reproduce the
bug anymore, even if the code wasn't fixed.

the pg_xact_status() change added by me.

SPI_commit previously left it up to the caller to recover from any error
occurring during commit. Since that's complicated and requires use of
low-level xact.c facilities, it's not too surprising that no caller got
it right. Let's move the responsibility for cleanup into spi.c. Doing
that requires redefining SPI_commit as starting a new transaction, so
that it becomes equivalent to SPI_commit_and_chain except that you get
default transaction characteristics instead of preserving the prior
transaction's characteristics. We can make this pretty transparent
API-wise by redefining SPI_start_transaction() as a no-op. Callers
that expect to do something in between might be surprised, but
available evidence is that no callers do so.
Having made that API redefinition, we can fix this mess by having
SPI_commit[_and_chain] trap errors and start a new, clean transaction
before re-throwing the error. Likewise for SPI_rollback[_and_chain].
Some cleanup is also needed in AtEOXact_SPI, which was nowhere near
smart enough to deal with SPI contexts nested inside a committing
context.
While plperl and pltcl need no changes beyond removing their now-useless
SPI_start_transaction() calls, plpython needs some more work because it
hadn't gotten the memo about catching commit/rollback errors in the
first place. Such an error resulted in longjmp'ing out of the Python
interpreter, which leaks Python stack entries at present and is reported
to crash Python 3.11 altogether. Add the missing logic to catch such
errors and convert them into Python exceptions.
This is a back-patch of commit 2e517818f. That's now aged long enough
