collect_corrupt_items() failed to initialize tuple.t_self. While
HeapTupleSatisfiesVacuum() doesn't actually use that value, it does
Assert that it's valid, so that the code would dump core if ip_posid
chanced to be zero. (That's somewhat unlikely, which probably explains
how this got missed. In any case it wouldn't matter for field use.)
Also, collect_corrupt_items was returning the wrong TIDs, that is the
contents of t_ctid rather than the tuple's own location. This would
be the same thing in simple cases, but it could be wrong if, for
example, a past update attempt had been rolled back, leaving a live
tuple whose t_ctid doesn't point at itself.
Also, in pg_visibility(), guard against trying to read a page past
the end of the rel. The VM code handles inquiries beyond the end
of the map by silently returning zeroes, and it seems like we should
do the same thing here.
I ran into the assertion failure while using pg_visibility to check
pg_upgrade's behavior, and then noted the other problems while
reading the code.

Now that we track initial privileges on extension objects and changes to
those permissions, we can drop the superuser() checks from the various
functions which are part of the pgstattuple extension and rely on the
GRANT system to control access to those functions.
Since a pg_upgrade will preserve the version of the extension which
existed prior to the upgrade, we can't simply modify the existing
functions but instead need to create new functions which remove the
checks and update the SQL-level functions to use the new functions
(and to REVOKE EXECUTE rights on those functions from PUBLIC).
Thanks to Tom and Andres for adding support for extensions to follow
update paths (see: 40b449a), allowing this patch to be much smaller

It's always been possible to create a zero-dimensional cube by converting
from a zero-length float8 array, but cube_in failed to accept the '()'
representation that cube_out produced for that case, resulting in a
dump/reload hazard. Make it accept the case. Also fix a couple of
other places that didn't behave sanely for zero-dimensional cubes:
cube_size would produce 1.0 when surely the answer should be 0.0,
and g_cube_distance risked a divide-by-zero failure.
Likewise, it's always been possible to create cubes containing float8
infinity or NaN coordinate values, but cube_in couldn't parse such input,
and cube_out produced platform-dependent spellings of the values. Convert
them to use float8in_internal and float8out_internal so that the behavior
will be the same as for float8, as we recently did for the core geometric
types (cf commit 50861cd68). As in that commit, I don't pretend that this
patch fixes all insane corner-case behaviors that may exist for NaNs, but
it's a step forward.
(This change allows removal of the separate cube_1.out and cube_3.out
expected-files, as the platform dependency that previously required them
is now gone: an underflowing coordinate value will now produce an error
not plus or minus zero.)
Make errors from cube_in follow project conventions as to spelling

- Do not access struct members directly. This includes some new code in
pgcrypto, to use the resource owner mechanism to ensure that we don't
leak OpenSSL handles, now that we can't embed them in other structs

Where possible, use palloc or pg_malloc instead; otherwise, insert
explicit NULL checks.
Generally speaking, these are places where an actual OOM is quite
unlikely, either because they're in client programs that don't
allocate all that much, or they're very early in process startup
so that we'd likely have had a fork() failure instead. Hence,
no back-patch, even though this is nominally a bug fix.

The previous API for this function had it returning a malloc'd string.
That meant that callers had to check for NULL return, which few of them
were doing, and it also meant that callers had to remember to free()
the string later, which required extra logic in most cases.
Instead, make simple_prompt() write into a buffer supplied by the caller.
Anywhere that the maximum required input length is reasonably small,
which is almost all of the callers, we can just use a local or static
array as the buffer instead of dealing with malloc/free.
A fair number of callers used "pointer == NULL" as a proxy for "haven't
requested the password yet". Maintaining the same behavior requires
adding a separate boolean flag for that, which adds back some of the
complexity we save by removing free()s. Nonetheless, this nets out
at a small reduction in overall code size, and considerably less code
than we would have had if we'd added the missing NULL-return checks
everywhere they were needed.
In passing, clean up the API comment for simple_prompt() and get rid
of a very-unnecessary malloc/free in its Windows code path.
This is nominally a bug fix, but it does not seem worth back-patching,
because the actual risk of an OOM failure in any of these places seems
pretty tiny, and all of them are client-side not server-side anyway.
This patch is by me, but it owes a great deal to Michael Paquier
who identified the problem and drafted a patch for fixing it the
other way.

I found that half a dozen (nearly 5%) of our AllocSetContextCreate calls
had typos in the context-sizing parameters. While none of these led to
especially significant problems, they did create minor inefficiencies,
and it's now clear that expecting people to copy-and-paste those calls
accurately is not a great idea. Let's reduce the risk of future errors
by introducing single macros that encapsulate the common use-cases.
Three such macros are enough to cover all but two special-purpose contexts;
those two calls can be left as-is, I think.
While this patch doesn't in itself improve matters for third-party
extensions, it doesn't break anything for them either, and they can
gradually adopt the simplified notation over time.
In passing, change TopMemoryContext to use the default allocation
parameters. Formerly it could only be extended 8K at a time. That was
probably reasonable when this code was written; but nowadays we create
many more contexts than we did then, so that it's not unusual to have a
couple hundred K in TopMemoryContext, even without considering various
dubious code that sticks other things there. There seems no good reason
not to let it use growing blocks like most other contexts.
Back-patch to 9.6, mostly because that's still close enough to HEAD that
it's easy to do so, and keeping the branches in sync can be expected to

In blinsert(), cope with the possibility that a page we pull from the

recently marked it deleted but hasn't (yet) updated the metapage.
We can re-use such a page safely, but we *must* reinitialize it so that
it's no longer marked deleted.
Fix blvacuum() so that it updates the notFullPage list even if it's
going to update it to empty. The previous "optimization" of skipping
the update seems pretty dubious, since it means that the next blinsert()
will uselessly visit whatever pages we left in the list.
Uniformly treat PageIsNew pages the same as deleted pages. This should

more than once, and then again in blvacuumcleanup, without ever zeroing the
counter). It's sufficient to count them in blvacuumcleanup.
stats->estimated_count is a boolean, not a counter, and we don't want
to set it true, so don't add tuple counts to it.

Per discussion, we should provide such functions to replace the lost

believe that the bit meanings in that field are part of any client API
contract.
As future-proofing, define the SQL API to not assume that properties that
are currently AM-wide or index-wide will remain so unless they logically
must be; instead, expose them only when inquiring about a specific index
or even specific index column. Also provide the ability for an index
AM to override the behavior.

Commits 4452000f3 et al established semantics for NullTest.argisrow that
are a bit different from its initial conception: rather than being merely
a cache of whether we've determined the input to have composite type,
the flag now has the further meaning that we should apply field-by-field
testing as per the standard's definition of IS [NOT] NULL. If argisrow
is false and yet the input has composite type, the construct instead has
the semantics of IS [NOT] DISTINCT FROM NULL. Update the comments in
primnodes.h to clarify this, and fix ruleutils.c and deparse.c to print
such cases correctly. In the case of ruleutils.c, this merely results in
cosmetic changes in EXPLAIN output, since the case can't currently arise
in stored rules. However, it represents a live bug for deparse.c, which
would formerly have sent a remote query that had semantics different
from the local behavior. (From the user's standpoint, this means that
testing a remote nested-composite column for null-ness could have had
unexpected recursive behavior much like that fixed in 4452000f3.)
In a related but somewhat independent fix, make plancat.c set argisrow
to false in all NullTest expressions constructed to represent "attnotnull"
constructs. Since attnotnull is actually enforced as a simple null-value
check, this is a more accurate representation of the semantics; we were
previously overpromising what it meant for composite columns, which might
possibly lead to incorrect planner optimizations. (It seems that what the
SQL spec expects a NOT NULL constraint to mean is an IS NOT NULL test, so
arguably we are violating the spec and should fix attnotnull to do the
other thing. If we ever do, this part should get reverted.)

what was intended. If you install 1.2 directly, you're OK.

To ensure that "make installcheck" can be used safely against an existing
installation, we need to be careful about what global object names
(database, role, and tablespace names) we use; otherwise we might
accidentally clobber important objects. There's been a weak consensus that
test databases should have names including "regression", and that test role
names should start with "regress_", but we didn't have any particular rule
about tablespace names; and neither of the other rules was followed with
any consistency either.
This commit moves us a long way towards having a hard-and-fast rule that
regression test databases must have names including "regression", and that
test role and tablespace names must start with "regress_". It's not
completely there because I did not touch some test cases in rolenames.sql
that test creation of special role names like "session_user". That will
require some rethinking of exactly what we want to test, whereas the intent
of this patch is just to hit all the cases in which the needed renamings
are cosmetic.
There is no enforcement mechanism in this patch either, but if we don't
add one we can expect that the tests will soon be violating the convention
again. Again, that's not such a cosmetic change and it will require
discussion. (But I did use a quick-hack enforcement patch to find these
cases.)

The old code used SEQ_MINVALUE to get the smallest int64 value. This

but that is obsolete now. Also, it is incorrect because the smallest
int64 value is actually SEQ_MINVALUE-1. Fix by using PG_INT64_MIN.
We must not push down a foreign join when the foreign tables involved
should be accessed under different user mappings. Previously we tried
to enforce that rule literally during planning, but that meant that the
resulting plans were dependent on the current contents of the
pg_user_mapping catalog, and we had to blow away all cached plans
containing any remote join when anything at all changed in pg_user_mapping.
This could have been improved somewhat, but the fact that a syscache inval
callback has very limited info about what changed made it hard to do better
within that design. Instead, let's change the planner to not consider user
mappings per se, but to allow a foreign join if both RTEs have the same
checkAsUser value. If they do, then they necessarily will use the same
user mapping at runtime, and we don't need to know specifically which one
that is. Post-plan-time changes in pg_user_mapping no longer require any
plan invalidation.
This rule does give up some optimization ability, to wit where two foreign
table references come from views with different owners or one's from a view
and one's directly in the query, but nonetheless the same user mapping
would have applied. We'll sacrifice the first case, but to not regress
more than we have to in the second case, allow a foreign join involving
both zero and nonzero checkAsUser values if the nonzero one is the same as
the prevailing effective userID. In that case, mark the plan as only
runnable by that userID.
The plancache code already had a notion of plans being userID-specific,
in order to support RLS. It was a little confused though, in particular
lacking clarity of thought as to whether it was the rewritten query or just
the finished plan that's dependent on the userID. Rearrange that code so
that it's clearer what depends on which, and so that the same logic applies
to both RLS-injected role dependency and foreign-join-injected role
dependency.
Note that this patch doesn't remove the other issue mentioned in the
original complaint, which is that while we'll reliably stop using a foreign
join if it's disallowed in a new context, we might fail to start using a
foreign join if it's now allowed, but we previously created a generic
cached plan that didn't use one. It was agreed that the chance of winning
that way was not high enough to justify the much larger number of plan
invalidations that would have to occur if we tried to cause it to happen.
In passing, clean up randomly-varying spelling of EXPLAIN commands in
postgres_fdw.sql, and fix a COSTS ON example that had been allowed to
leak into the committed tests.
This reverts most of commits fbe5a3fb7 and 5d4171d1c, which were the
previous attempt at ensuring we wouldn't push down foreign joins that
span permissions contexts.

As pointed out by Ashutosh Bapat, the header comments for this file
say that schema-qualification is needed for all and only those types
outside pg_catalog. pg_catalog.text is not outside pg_catalog.
After pg_upgrade, it is possible that some tuples' Xmax have multixacts
corresponding to the old installation; such multixacts cannot have
running members anymore. In many code sites we already know not to read
them and clobber them silently, but at least when VACUUM tries to freeze
a multixact or determine whether one needs freezing, there's an attempt
to resolve it to its member transactions by calling GetMultiXactIdMembers,
and if the multixact value is "in the future" with regards to the
current valid multixact range, an error like this is raised:
ERROR: MultiXactId 123 has not been created yet -- apparent wraparound
and vacuuming fails. Per discussion with Andrew Gierth, it is completely
bogus to try to resolve multixacts coming from before a pg_upgrade,
regardless of where they stand with regards to the current valid
multixact range.
It's possible to get from under this problem by doing SELECT FOR UPDATE
of the problem tuples, but if tables are large, this is slow and
tedious, so a more thorough solution is desirable.
To fix, we realize that multixacts in xmax created in 9.2 and previous
have a specific bit pattern that is never used in 9.3 and later (we
already knew this, per comments and infomask tests sprinkled in various
places, but we weren't leveraging this knowledge appropriately).
Whenever the infomask of the tuple matches that bit pattern, we just
ignore the multixact completely as if Xmax wasn't set; or, in the case
of tuple freezing, we act as if an unwanted value is set and clobber it
without decoding. This guarantees that no errors will be raised, and
that the values will be progressively removed until all tables are
clean. Most callers of GetMultiXactIdMembers are patched to recognize
directly that the value is a removable "empty" multixact and avoid
calling GetMultiXactIdMembers altogether.
To avoid changing the signature of GetMultiXactIdMembers() in back
branches, we keep the "allow_old" boolean flag but rename it to
"from_pgupgrade"; if the flag is true, we always return an empty set
instead of looking up the multixact. (I suppose we could remove the
argument in the master branch, but I chose not to do so in this commit).
This was broken all along, but the error-facing message appeared first
because of commit 8e9a16ab8f and was partially fixed in a25c2b7c4d.
This fix, backpatched all the way back to 9.3, goes approximately in the
same direction as a25c2b7c4d but should cover all cases.

There was some very strange code here, dating to commit b525bf77, that
purported to work around an ancient gcc bug by forcing a float4 comparison
to be done as int instead. Commit 5871b8848 broke that when it changed
one side of the comparison to "double" but left the comparison code alone.
Commit f576b17cd doubled down on the weirdness by introducing a "volatile"
marker, which had nothing to do with the actual problem.
Guess that the gcc bug, even if it's still present in the wild, was
triggered by comparison of float4's and can be avoided if we store the
result of cnt_sml() into a double before comparing to the double "nlimit".
This will at least work correctly on non-broken compilers, and it's way
more readable.

to mark it PARALLEL RESTRICTED too.
This requires some core changes as well so that we can properly
WAL-log the truncation. Specifically, it changes the format of the
XLOG_SMGR_TRUNCATE WAL record, so bump XLOG_PAGE_MAGIC.
Patch by me, reviewed but not fully endorsed by Andres Freund.
Almost all functions provided by this extension are PARALLEL
RESTRICTED. Mostly, that's because the leader's TCP connections won't
be shared with the workers, but in some cases like dblink_get_pkey
it's because they obtain locks which might be released early if taken
within a parallel worker. dblink_fdw_validator probably can't be used
in a query anyway, but there would be no problem from the point of
view of parallel query if it were, so it's PARALLEL SAFE.

The new pg_check_visible() and pg_check_frozen() functions can be used to
verify that the visibility map bits for a relation's data pages match the
actual state of the tuples on those pages.

Freund. Additional testing help by Thomas Munro.
All functions provided by this extension are PARALLEL RESTRICTED,
because they provide information about the connection state. Parallel
workers don't have this information and therefore these functions
can't be executed in a worker (but they can be present in a query some
other part of which uses parallelism).
