Add timeouts in case psql doesn't deliver the expected output, and try
to cause the monitoring psql to be fully connected to a backend. This
isn't necessarily everything needed, but at least the timeouts should
reduce the pain for buildfarm owners.

Previously statement_timeout, in the extended protocol, affected all
messages till a Sync message. For clients that pipeline/batch query
execution that's problematic.
Instead disable timeout after each Execute message, and enable, if
necessary, the timer in start_xact_command(). As that's done only for
Execute and not Parse / Bind, pipelining the latter two could still
cause undesirable timeouts. But a survey of protocol implementations
shows that all drivers issue Sync messages when preparing, and adding
timeout rearming to both is fairly expensive for the common parse /
bind / execute sequence.

The bug was caused by not re-reading the control file during crash
recovery restarts, which lead to an attempt to pfree() shared memory
contents. The fix is to re-read the control file, which seems good
anyway.
It's unclear as of this moment, whether we want to keep the

an alternative approach. But fixing the bug in the mean time seems

By project convention, these names should include "P" when dealing with a
pointer type; that is, if the result of a GETARG macro is of type FOO *,
it should be called PG_GETARG_FOO_P not just PG_GETARG_FOO. Some newer
types such as JSONB and ranges had not followed the convention, and a
number of contrib modules hadn't gotten that memo either. Rename the
offending macros to improve consistency.
In passing, fix a few places that thought PG_DETOAST_DATUM() returns
a Datum; it does not, it returns "struct varlena *". Applying
DatumGetPointer to that happens not to cause any bad effects today,
but it's formally wrong. Also, adjust an ltree macro that was designed
without any thought for what pgindent would do with it.
This is all cosmetic and shouldn't have any impact on generated code.

If we failed to get a background worker slot, the code just walked
away from the logicalrep-worker slot it already had, leaving that
looking like the worker is still starting up. This led to an indefinite
hang in subscription startup, as reported by Thomas Munro. We must
release the slot on failure.
Also fix a thinko: we must capture the worker slot's generation before
releasing LogicalRepWorkerLock the first time, else testing to see if
it's changed is pretty meaningless.
BTW, the CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() in WaitForReplicationWorkerAttach is a
ticking time bomb, even without considering the possibility of elog(ERROR)
in one of the other functions it calls. Really, this entire business needs
a redesign with some actual thought about error recovery. But for now

When ALTER SUBSCRIPTION DISABLE is run in the same transaction before
DROP SUBSCRIPTION, the latter will hang because workers will still be
running, not having seen the DISABLE committed, and DROP SUBSCRIPTION
will wait until the workers have vacated the replication origin slots.
Previously, DROP SUBSCRIPTION killed the logical replication workers
immediately only if it was going to drop the replication slot, otherwise
it scheduled the worker killing for the end of the transaction, as a
result of 7e174fa793. This, however,
causes the present problem. To fix, kill the workers immediately in all
cases. This covers all cases: A subscription that doesn't have a
replication slot must be disabled. It was either disabled in the same
transaction, or it was already disabled before the current transaction,
but then there shouldn't be any workers left and this won't make a
difference.

Add item about number of times statement-level triggers will be fired.
Rearrange the compatibility items into (what seems to me) a less
random ordering.
AfterTriggerEndQuery correctly notes that the query_stack could get
repalloc'd during a trigger firing, but it nonetheless passes the address
of a query_stack entry to afterTriggerInvokeEvents, so that if such a
repalloc occurs, afterTriggerInvokeEvents is already working with an
obsolete dangling pointer while it scans the rest of the events. Oops.
The only code at risk is its "delete_ok" cleanup code, so we can
prevent unsafe behavior by passing delete_ok = false instead of true.
However, that could have a significant performance penalty, because the
point of passing delete_ok = true is to not have to re-scan possibly
a large number of dead trigger events on the next time through the loop.
There's more than one way to skin that cat, though. What we can do is
delete all the "chunks" in the event list except the last one, since
we know all events in them must be dead. Deleting the chunks is work
we'd have had to do later in AfterTriggerEndQuery anyway, and it ends
up saving rescanning of just about the same events we'd have gotten
rid of with delete_ok = true.
In v10 and HEAD, we also have to be careful to mop up any per-table
after_trig_events pointers that would become dangling. This is slightly
annoying, but I don't think that normal use-cases will traverse this code
path often enough for it to be a performance problem.
It's pretty hard to hit this in practice because of the unlikelihood
of the query_stack getting resized at just the wrong time. Nonetheless,
it's definitely a live bug of ancient standing, so back-patch to all
supported branches.

Commit 0f79440fb introduced mechanism to keep AFTER STATEMENT triggers
from firing more than once per statement, which was formerly possible
if more than one FK enforcement action had to be applied to a given

we don't have the unexpected situation of firing BEFORE STATEMENT
triggers more often than AFTER STATEMENT.

The elements of RecordCacheArray are TupleDesc, not TupleDesc *.
Those are actually the same size, so that this error is harmless,
but it's still wrong --- and it might bite us someday, if TupleDesc
ever became a struct, say.
Per Coverity.
I noticed that there were exactly no complete examples of use of
a transition table in a trigger function, and no clear description
of just how you'd do it either. Improve that.
The standard says that all changes of the same kind (insert, update, or
delete) caused in one table by a single SQL statement should be reported
in a single transition table; and by that, they mean to include foreign key
enforcement actions cascading from the statement's direct effects. It's
also reasonable to conclude that if the standard had wCTEs, they would say
that effects of wCTEs applying to the same table as each other or the outer
statement should be merged into one transition table. We weren't doing it
like that.
Hence, arrange to merge tuples from multiple update actions into a single
transition table as much as we can. There is a problem, which is that if
the firing of FK enforcement triggers and after-row triggers with
transition tables is interspersed, we might need to report more tuples
after some triggers have already seen the transition table. It seems like
a bad idea for the transition table to be mutable between trigger calls.
There's no good way around this without a major redesign of the FK logic,
so for now, resolve it by opening a new transition table each time this
happens.
Also, ensure that AFTER STATEMENT triggers fire just once per statement,
or once per transition table when we're forced to make more than one.
Previous versions of Postgres have allowed each FK enforcement query
to cause an additional firing of the AFTER STATEMENT triggers for the
referencing table, but that's certainly not per spec. (We're still
doing multiple firings of BEFORE STATEMENT triggers, though; is that
something worth changing?)
Also, forbid using transition tables with column-specific UPDATE triggers.
The spec requires such transition tables to show only the tuples for which
the UPDATE trigger would have fired, which means maintaining multiple
transition tables or else somehow filtering the contents at readout.
Maybe someday we'll bother to support that option, but it looks like a
lot of trouble for a marginal feature.
The transition tables are now managed by the AfterTriggers data structures,
rather than being directly the responsibility of ModifyTable nodes. This
removes a subtransaction-lifespan memory leak introduced by my previous
band-aid patch 3c4359521.
In passing, refactor the AfterTriggers data structures to reduce the
management overhead for them, by using arrays of structs rather than
several parallel arrays for per-query-level and per-subtransaction state.
I failed to resist the temptation to do some copy-editing on the SGML
docs about triggers, above and beyond merely documenting the effects
of this patch.
Back-patch to v10, because we don't want the semantics of transition
tables to change post-release.
Patch by me, with help and review from Thomas Munro.

This code is unsafe, as proven by buildfarm failures, because it tries
to access shared memory that might already be gone. It's also unnecessary,
because we're about to exit the process anyway and so the record type cache
should never be accessed again. The idea was to lay some foundations for
someday recycling workers --- which would require attaching to a different
shared tupdesc registry --- but that will require considerably more
thought. In the meantime let's save some bytes by just removing the
nonfunctional code.

Tuples can have type RECORDOID and a typmod number that identifies a blessed
TupleDesc in a backend-private cache. To support the sharing of such tuples
through shared memory and temporary files, provide a typmod registry in
shared memory.
To achieve that, introduce per-session DSM segments, created on demand when a
backend first runs a parallel query. The per-session DSM segment has a
table-of-contents just like the per-query DSM segment, and initially the
contents are a shared record typmod registry and a DSA area to provide the
space it needs to grow.
State relating to the current session is accessed via a Session object
reached through global variable CurrentSession that may require significant
redesign further down the road as we figure out what else needs to be shared
or remodelled.

Flattening the partitioning hierarchy at this stage makes various
desirable optimizations difficult. The original use case for this
patch was partition-wise join, which wants to match up the partitions
in one partitioning hierarchy with those in another such hierarchy.
However, it now seems that it will also be useful in making partition
pruning work using the PartitionDesc rather than constraint exclusion,
because with a flattened expansion, we have no easy way to figure out
which PartitionDescs apply to which leaf tables in a multi-level
partition hierarchy.
As it turns out, we end up creating both rte->inh and !rte->inh RTEs
for each intermediate partitioned table, just as we previously did for
the root table. This seems unnecessary since the partitioned tables
have no storage and are not scanned. We might want to go back and
rejigger things so that no partitioned tables (including the parent)
need !rte->inh RTEs, but that seems to require some adjustments not
related to the core purpose of this patch.
