If the hash functions used for hashing tuples leaked any memory,
we failed to clean that up, resulting in query-lifespan memory
leakage in queries using hashed subplans. One way that could
happen is if the values being hashed require de-toasting, since
most of our hash functions don't trouble to clean up de-toasted
inputs.
Prior to commit bf6c614a2, this leakage was largely masked
because TupleHashTableMatch would reset hashtable->tempcxt
(via execTuplesMatch). But it doesn't do that anymore, and
that's not really the right place for this anyway: doing it
there could reset the tempcxt many times per hash lookup,
or not at all. Instead put reset calls into ExecHashSubPlan
and buildSubPlanHash. Along the way to that, rearrange
ExecHashSubPlan so that there's just one place to call
MemoryContextReset instead of several.
This amounts to accepting the de-facto API spec that the caller
of the TupleHashTable routines is responsible for resetting the
tempcxt adequately often. Although the other callers seem to
get this right, it was not documented anywhere, so add a comment
about it.

If an INSERT has an ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE clause, the executor must
check that the target relation supports UPDATE as well as INSERT. In
particular, it must check that the target relation has a REPLICA
IDENTITY if it publishes updates. Formerly, it was not doing this
check, which could lead to silently breaking replication.
Fix by adding such a check to CheckValidResultRel(), which requires
adding a new onConflictAction argument. In back-branches, preserve ABI
compatibility by introducing a wrapper function with the original
signature.

SubPlan nodes are typically built very early, before any RelOptInfos
have been constructed for the parent query level. As a result, the
simple_rel_array in the parent root has not yet been initialized.
Currently, during cost estimation of a SubPlan's testexpr, we may call
examine_variable() to look up statistical data about the expressions.
This can lead to "no relation entry for relid" errors.
To fix, pass root as NULL to cost_qual_eval() in cost_subplan(), since
the root does not yet contain enough information to safely consult
statistics.
One exception is SubPlan nodes built for the initplans of MIN/MAX
aggregates from indexes. In this case, having a NULL root is safe
because testexpr will be NULL. Additionally, an initplan will by
definition not consult anything from the parent plan.
Backpatch to all supported branches. Although the reported call path
that triggers this error is not reachable prior to v17, there's no
guarantee that other code paths -- especially in extensions -- could
not encounter the same issue when cost_qual_eval() is called with a
root that lacks a valid simple_rel_array. The test case is not
included in pre-v17 branches though.

Commit 4b754d6c1 introduced the concept of an excludeOnly scan key,
which cannot select matching index entries but can reject
non-matching tuples, for example a tsquery such as '!term'. There are
poorly-documented assumptions that such scan keys do not appear as the
first scan key. ginNewScanKey did nothing to ensure that, however,
with the result that certain GIN index searches could go into an
infinite loop while apparently-equivalent queries with the clauses in
a different order were fine.
Fix by teaching ginNewScanKey to place all excludeOnly scan keys
after all not-excludeOnly ones. So far as we know at present,
it might be sufficient to avoid the case where the very first
scan key is excludeOnly; but I'm not very convinced that there
aren't other dependencies on the ordering.

Temporary relations may share the same RelFileNumber with a permanent
relation, or other temporary relations associated with other sessions.
Being able to uniquely identify a temporary relation would require
RelidByRelfilenumber() to know about the proc number of the temporary
relation it wants to identify, something it is not designed for since
its introduction in f01d1ae3a1.
There are currently three callers of RelidByRelfilenumber():
- autoprewarm.
- Logical decoding, reorder buffer.
- pg_filenode_relation(), that attempts to find a relation OID based on
a tablespace OID and a RelFileNumber.
This makes the situation problematic particularly for the first two
cases, leading to the possibility of random ERRORs due to
inconsistencies that temporary relations can create in the cache
maintained by RelidByRelfilenumber(). The third case should be less of
an issue, as I suspect that there are few direct callers of
pg_filenode_relation().
The window where the ERRORs are happen is very narrow, requiring an OID
wraparound to create a lookup conflict in RelidByRelfilenumber() with a
temporary table reusing the same OID as another relation already cached.
The problem is easier to reach in workloads with a high OID consumption
rate, especially with a higher number of temporary relations created.
We could get pg_filenode_relation() and RelidByRelfilenumber() to work
with temporary relations if provided the means to identify them with an
optional proc number given in input, but the years have also shown that
we do not have a use case for it, yet. Note that this could not be
backpatched if pg_filenode_relation() needs changes. It is simpler to
ignore temporary relations.

The DROP SUBSCRIPTION command performs several operations: it stops the
subscription workers, removes subscription-related entries from system
catalogs, and deletes the replication slot on the publisher server.
Previously, this command acquired an AccessExclusiveLock on
pg_subscription before initiating these steps.
However, while holding this lock, the command attempts to connect to the
publisher to remove the replication slot. In cases where the connection is
made to a newly created database on the same server as subscriber, the
cache-building process during connection tries to acquire an
AccessShareLock on pg_subscription, resulting in a self-deadlock.
To resolve this issue, we reduce the lock level on pg_subscription during
DROP SUBSCRIPTION from AccessExclusiveLock to RowExclusiveLock. Earlier,
the higher lock level was used to prevent the launcher from starting a new
worker during the drop operation, as a restarted worker could become
orphaned.
Now, instead of relying on a strict lock, we acquire an AccessShareLock on
the specific subscription being dropped and re-validate its existence
after acquiring the lock. If the subscription is no longer valid, the
worker exits gracefully. This approach avoids the deadlock while still
ensuring that orphan workers are not created.

It turns out that on some platforms (at least current macOS, NetBSD,
OpenBSD) semget(2) will return EINVAL if there is a pre-existing
semaphore set with the same key and too few semaphores. Our code
expects EEXIST in that case and treats EINVAL as a hard failure,
resulting in failure during initdb or postmaster start.
POSIX does document EINVAL for too-few-semaphores-in-set, and is
silent on its priority relative to EEXIST, so this behavior arguably
conforms to spec. Nonetheless it's quite problematic because EINVAL
is also documented to mean that nsems is greater than the system's
limit on the number of semaphores per set (SEMMSL). If that is
where the problem lies, retrying would just become an infinite loop.
To resolve this contradiction, retry after EINVAL, but also install a
loop limit that will make us give up regardless of the specific errno
after trying 1000 different keys. (1000 is a pretty arbitrary number,
but it seems like it should be sufficient.) I like this better than
the previous infinite-looping behavior, since it will also keep us out
of trouble if (say) we get EACCES due to a system-level permissions
problem rather than anything to do with a specific semaphore set.
This problem has only been observed in the field in PG 17, which uses
a higher nsems value than other branches (cf. 38da05346, 810a8b1c8).
That makes it possible to get the failure if a new v17 postmaster
has a key collision with an existing postmaster of another branch.
In principle though, we might see such a collision against a semaphore
set created by some other application, in which case all branches are
vulnerable on these platforms. Hence, backpatch.

Commit e2d4ef8de8 (the fix for CVE-2017-7484) added security checks
to the selectivity estimation functions to prevent them from running
user-supplied operators on data obtained from pg_statistic if the user
lacks privileges to select from the underlying table. In cases
involving inheritance/partitioning, those checks were originally
performed against the child RTE (which for plain inheritance might
actually refer to the parent table). Commit 553d2ec271 then extended
that to also check the parent RTE, allowing access if the user had
permissions on either the parent or the child. It turns out, however,
that doing any checks using the child RTE is incorrect, since
securityQuals is set to NULL when creating an RTE for an inheritance
child (whether it refers to the parent table or the child table), and
therefore such checks do not correctly account for any RLS policies or
security barrier views. Therefore, do the security checks using only
the parent RTE. This is consistent with how RLS policies are applied,
and the executor's ACL checks, both of which use only the parent
table's permissions/policies. Similar checks are performed in the
extended stats code, so update that in the same way, centralizing all
the checks in a new function.
In addition, note that these checks by themselves are insufficient to
ensure that the user has access to the table's data because, in a
query that goes via a view, they only check that the view owner has
permissions on the underlying table, not that the current user has
permissions on the view itself. In the selectivity estimation
functions, there is no easy way to navigate from underlying tables to
views, so add permissions checks for all views mentioned in the query
to the planner startup code. If the user lacks permissions on a view,
a permissions error will now be reported at planner-startup, and the
selectivity estimation functions will not be run.
Checking view permissions at planner-startup in this way is a little
ugly, since the same checks will be repeated at executor-startup.
Longer-term, it might be better to move all the permissions checks
from the executor to the planner so that permissions errors can be
reported sooner, instead of creating a plan that won't ever be run.
However, such a change seems too far-reaching to be back-patched.
Back-patch to all supported versions. In v13, there is the added
complication that UPDATEs and DELETEs on inherited target tables are
planned using inheritance_planner(), which plans each inheritance
child table separately, so that the selectivity estimation functions
do not know that they are dealing with a child table accessed via its
parent. Handle that by checking access permissions on the top parent
table at planner-startup, in the same way as we do for views. Any
securityQuals on the top parent table are moved down to the child
tables by inheritance_planner(), so they continue to be checked by the
selectivity estimation functions.

pg_dump sorts objects by their logical names, e.g. (nspname, relname,
tgname), before dependency-driven reordering. That removes one source
of logically-identical databases differing in their schema-only dumps.
In other words, it helps with schema diffing. The logical name sort
ignored essential sort keys for constraints, operators, PUBLICATION
... FOR TABLE, PUBLICATION ... FOR TABLES IN SCHEMA, operator classes,
and operator families. pg_dump's sort then depended on object OID,
yielding spurious schema diffs. After this change, OIDs affect dump
order only in the event of catalog corruption. While pg_dump also
wrongly ignored pg_collation.collencoding, CREATE COLLATION restrictions
have been keeping that imperceptible in practical use.
Use techniques like we use for object types already having full sort key
coverage. Where the pertinent queries weren't fetching the ignored sort
keys, this adds columns to those queries and stores those keys in memory
for the long term.
The ignorance of sort keys became more problematic when commit
172259afb5 added a schema diff test
sensitive to it. Buildfarm member hippopotamus witnessed that.
However, dump order stability isn't a new goal, and this might avoid
other dump comparison failures. Hence, back-patch to v13 (all supported

Previously, we sorted rules by schema name and then rule name;
if that wasn't unique, we sorted by rule OID. This can be
problematic for comparing dumps from databases with different
histories, especially since certain rule names like "_RETURN"
are very common. Let's make the sort key schema name, rule name,
table name, which should be unique. (This is the same behavior
we've long used for triggers and RLS policies.)

This back-patches v18 commit 350e6b8ea8 to
all supported branches. The next commit will assert that pg_dump
provides a stable sort order for all object types. That assertion would
fail without stabilizing DO_RULE order as this commit did.

The configure checks used two incorrect functions when checking the
presence of some routines in an environment:
- __get_cpuidex() for the check of __cpuidex().
- __get_cpuid() for the check of __cpuid().
This means that Postgres has never been able to detect the presence of
these functions, impacting environments where these exist, like Windows.
Simply fixing the function name does not work. For example, using
configure with MinGW on Windows causes the checks to detect all four of
__get_cpuid(), __get_cpuid_count(), __cpuidex() and __cpuid() to be
available, causing a compilation failure as this messes up with the
MinGW headers as we would include both <intrin.h> and <cpuid.h>.
The Postgres code expects only one in { __get_cpuid() , __cpuid() } and
one in { __get_cpuid_count() , __cpuidex() } to exist. This commit
reshapes the configure checks to do exactly what meson is doing, which
has been working well for us: check one, then the other, but never allow
both to be detected in a given build.
The logic is wrong since 3dc2d62d04 and 792752af4e where these
checks have been introduced (the second case is most likely a copy-pasto
coming from the first case), with meson documenting that the configure
checks were broken. As far as I can see, they are not once applied
consistently with what the code expects, but let's see if the buildfarm
has different something to say. The comment in meson.build is adjusted
as well, to reflect the new reality.

For many optional libraries, we extract the -L and -l switches needed
to link the library from a helper program such as llvm-config. In
some cases we put the resulting -L switches into LDFLAGS ahead of
-L switches specified via --with-libraries. That risks breaking
the user's intention for --with-libraries.
It's not such a problem if the library's -L switch points to a
directory containing only that library, but on some platforms a
library helper may "helpfully" offer a switch such as -L/usr/lib
that points to a directory holding all standard libraries. If the
user specified --with-libraries in hopes of overriding the standard
build of some library, the -L/usr/lib switch prevents that from
happening since it will come before the user-specified directory.
To fix, avoid inserting these switches directly into LDFLAGS during
configure, instead adding them to LIBDIRS or SHLIB_LINK. They will
still eventually get added to LDFLAGS, but only after the switches
coming from --with-libraries.
The same problem exists for -I switches: those coming from
--with-includes should appear before any coming from helper programs
such as llvm-config. We have not heard field complaints about this
case, but it seems certain that a user attempting to override a
standard library could have issues.
The changes for this go well beyond configure itself, however,
because many Makefiles have occasion to manipulate CPPFLAGS to
insert locally-desirable -I switches, and some of them got it wrong.
The correct ordering is any -I switches pointing at within-the-
source-tree-or-build-tree directories, then those from the tree-wide
CPPFLAGS, then those from helper programs. There were several places
that risked pulling in a system-supplied copy of libpq headers, for
example, instead of the in-tree files. (Commit cb36f8ec2 fixed one
instance of that a few months ago, but this exercise found more.)
The Meson build scripts may or may not have any comparable problems,
but I'll leave it to someone else to investigate that.

When I prepared 71c0921b6 et al yesterday, I was thinking that the
logic involving explicitly freeing the node_list output was still
needed to dodge leakage bugs in libxml2. But I was misremembering:
we introduced that only because with early 2.13.x releases we could
not trust xmlParseBalancedChunkMemory's result code, so we had to
look to see if a node list was returned or not. There's no reason
to believe that xmlParseBalancedChunkMemory will fail to clean up
the node list when required, so simplify. (This essentially
completes reverting all the non-cosmetic changes in 6082b3d5d.)

This mostly reverts commit 6082b3d5d, "Use xmlParseInNodeContext
not xmlParseBalancedChunkMemory". It turns out that
xmlParseInNodeContext will reject text chunks exceeding 10MB, while
(in most libxml2 versions) xmlParseBalancedChunkMemory will not.
The bleeding-edge libxml2 bug that we needed to work around a year
ago is presumably no longer a factor, and the argument that
xmlParseBalancedChunkMemory is semi-deprecated is not enough to
justify a functionality regression. Hence, go back to doing it
the old way.

If the number of sync requests is big enough, the palloc() call in
AbsorbSyncRequests() will attempt to allocate more than 1 GB of memory,
resulting in failure. This can lead to an infinite loop in the checkpointer
process, as it repeatedly fails to absorb the pending requests.
This commit limits the checkpointer requests queue size to 10M items. In
addition to preventing the palloc() failure, this change helps to avoid long
queue processing time.
Also, this commit is for backpathing only. The master branch receives
a more invasive yet comprehensive fix for this problem.

Solaris has never bothered to add "const" to the second argument
of PAM conversation procs, as all other Unixen did decades ago.
This resulted in an "incompatible pointer" compiler warning when
building --with-pam, but had no more serious effect than that,
so we never did anything about it. However, as of GCC 14 the
case is an error not warning by default.
To complicate matters, recent OpenIndiana (and maybe illumos
in general?) *does* supply the "const" by default, so we can't
just assume that platforms using our solaris template need help.
What we can do, short of building a configure-time probe,
is to make solaris.h #define _PAM_LEGACY_NONCONST, which
causes OpenIndiana's pam_appl.h to revert to the traditional
definition, and hopefully will have no effect anywhere else.
Then we can use that same symbol to control whether we include
"const" in the declaration of pam_passwd_conv_proc().

ECPGconnect() caches established connections to the server, supporting
the case of a NULL connection name when a database name is not specified
by its caller.
A follow-up call to ECPGget_PGconn() to get an established connection
from the cached set with a non-NULL name could cause a NULL pointer
dereference if a NULL connection was listed in the cache and checked for
a match. At least two connections are necessary to reproduce the issue:
one with a NULL name and one with a non-NULL name.

When pg_recvlogical receives a SIGHUP signal, it closes the current
output file and reopens a new one. This is useful since it allows us to
rotate the output file by renaming the current file and sending a SIGHUP.
This behavior was previously undocumented. This commit adds
the missing documentation.

If a crash occurs while writing a WAL record that spans multiple pages, the
recovery process marks the page with the XLP_FIRST_IS_OVERWRITE_CONTRECORD
flag. However, logical decoding currently attempts to read the full WAL
record based on its expected size before checking this flag, which can lead
to an infinite wait if the remaining data is never written (e.g., no activity
after crash).
This patch updates the logic first to read the page header and check for
the XLP_FIRST_IS_OVERWRITE_CONTRECORD flag before attempting to reconstruct
the full WAL record. If the flag is set, decoding correctly identifies
the record as incomplete and avoids waiting for WAL data that will never
arrive.

This is the documented behavior, and it worked that way before
v10. However, addition of the connhost[] array created cases
where conn->connhost[conn->whichhost].port is NULL. The rest
of libpq is careful to substitute DEF_PGPORT[_STR] for a null
or empty port string, but we failed to do so here, leading to
possibly returning NULL. As of v18 that causes psql's \conninfo
command to segfault. Older psql versions avoid that, but it's
pretty likely that other clients have trouble with this,
so we'd better back-patch the fix.
In stable branches, just revert to our historical behavior of
returning an empty string when there was no user-given port
specification. However, it seems substantially more useful and
indeed more correct to hand back DEF_PGPORT_STR in such cases,
so let's make v18 and master do that.
