This patch just exposes COPY's FROM PROGRAM option in contrib/file_fdw.
There don't seem to be any security issues with that that are any worse
than what already exist with file_fdw and COPY; as in the existing cases,
only superusers are allowed to control what gets executed.
A regression test case might be nice here, but choosing a 100% portable
command to run is hard. (We haven't got a test for COPY FROM PROGRAM
itself, either.)

The list of files and directories that pg_basebackup excludes from the
backup was somewhat incomplete and unorganized. Change that with having
the exclusion driven from tables. Clean up some code around it. Also
document the exclusions in more detail so that users of pg_start_backup
can make use of it as well.
The contents of these directories are now excluded from the backup:
pg_dynshmem, pg_notify, pg_serial, pg_snapshots, pg_subtrans

Add a validity flag to DCHCacheEntry and NUMCacheEntry entries, and
do not set it true until after we've parsed the supplied format string.
This allows dealing with possible errors while parsing the format
without the baroque hack that was there before (which only covered
errors within NUMDesc_prepare, anyway). We can get rid of the PG_TRY in
NUMDesc_prepare, as well as last_NUMCacheEntry and NUM_cache_remove.
(Essentially, this reverts commit ff783fbae in favor of a less fragile
solution; the problems with that approach are well illustrated by later
hacking such as 55f927a46.)
In passing, define the size of these caches as DCH_CACHE_ENTRIES not
DCH_CACHE_FIELDS + 1 (whoever thought that was a good definition?)
and likewise for the NUM cache. Also const-ify format string parameters
where convenient, and merge duplicated cache lookup logic.
This is primarily driven by a proposed patch from Artur Zakirov,
which introduced some ereport's into format string parsing for
the datetime case. He proposed preventing the creation of invalid
cache entries by parsing the format string first into a local-variable
array, and then copying that to a cache entry. That seemed a bit
ugly to me, and anyway randomly different from the way the identical
problem had been solved for the numeric case. Let's make the two
sets of code more similar not less so.
I'm not sure whether we'll adopt the new error conditions Artur proposes,
but this patch seems like good code cleanup and future-proofing in any
case. The existing code is critically (and undocumented-ly) dependent on
no elog being thrown out of several nontrivial functions, which is trouble
waiting to happen, though it doesn't seem to be actively broken today.

Historically, something like to_date('2009-06-40','YYYY-MM-DD') would
return '2009-07-10' because there was no prohibition on out-of-range
month or day numbers. This has been widely panned, and it also turns
out that Oracle throws an error in such cases. Since these functions
are nominally Oracle-compatibility features, let's change that.
There's no particular restriction on year (modulo the fact that the
scanner may not believe that more than 4 digits are year digits,
a matter to be addressed separately if at all). But we now check month,
day, hour, minute, second, and fractional-second fields, as well as
day-of-year and second-of-day fields if those are used.
Currently, no checks are made on ISO-8601-style week numbers or day
numbers; it's not very clear what the appropriate rules would be there,
and they're probably so little used that it's not worth sweating over.

Pushing an upper-level restriction clause into an unflattened
subquery-in-FROM is okay when the subquery contains no SRFs in its
targetlist, or when it does but the SRFs are unreferenced by the clause
*and the clause is not volatile*. Otherwise, we're changing the number
of times the clause is evaluated, which is bad for volatile quals, and
possibly changing the result, since a volatile qual might succeed for some
SRF output rows and not others despite not referencing any of the changing
columns. (Indeed, if the clause is something like "random() > 0.5", the
user is probably expecting exactly that behavior.)
We had most of these restrictions down, but not the one about the upper
clause not being volatile. Fix that, and add a regression test to
illustrate the expected behavior.
Although this is definitely a bug, it doesn't seem like back-patch
material, since possibly some users don't realize that the broken
behavior is broken and are relying on what happens now. Also, while
the added test is quite cheap in the wake of commit a4c35ea1c, it would
be much more expensive (or else messier) in older branches.

The only field of this struct that other files have any need to touch
is the pointer to the TocEntry a worker is working on. (Well,
pg_backup_archiver.c is actually looking at workerStatus too, but that
can be finessed by specifying that the TocEntry pointer is NULL for a
non-busy worker.)
Hence, move out the TocEntry pointers to a separate array within
struct ParallelState, and then we can make struct ParallelSlot private.
I noted the possibility of this previously, but hadn't got round to
actually doing it.
Discussion: <1188.1464544443@sss.pgh.pa.us>
The existing APIs for creating and parsing command and status messages are
rather messy; for example, archive-format modules have to provide code
for constructing command messages, which is entirely pointless since
the code to read them is hard-wired in WaitForCommands() and hence
no format-specific variation is actually possible. But there's little
foreseeable reason to need format-specific variation anyway.
The situation for status messages is no better; at least those are both
constructed and parsed by format-specific code, but said code is quite
redundant since there's no actual need for format-specific variation.
To add insult to injury, the first API involves returning pointers to
static buffers, which is bad, while the second involves returning pointers
to malloc'd strings, which is safer but randomly inconsistent.
Hence, get rid of the MasterStartParallelItem and MasterEndParallelItem
APIs, and instead write centralized functions that construct and parse
command and status messages. If we ever do need more flexibility, these
functions can be the standard implementations of format-specific
callback methods, but that's a long way off if it ever happens.

The ListenToWorkers/ReapWorkerStatus APIs were messy and hard to use.
Instead, make DispatchJobForTocEntry register a callback function that
will take care of state cleanup, doing whatever had been done by the caller
of ReapWorkerStatus in the old design. (This callback is essentially just
the old mark_work_done function in the restore case, and a trivial test for
worker failure in the dump case.) Then we can have ListenToWorkers call
the callback immediately on receipt of a status message, and return the
worker to WRKR_IDLE state; so the WRKR_FINISHED state goes away.
This allows us to design a unified wait-for-worker-messages loop:
WaitForWorkers replaces EnsureIdleWorker and EnsureWorkersFinished as well
as the mess in restore_toc_entries_parallel. Also, we no longer need the
fragile API spec that the caller of DispatchJobForTocEntry is responsible
for ensuring there's an idle worker, since DispatchJobForTocEntry can just
wait until there is one.
In passing, I got rid of the ParallelArgs struct, which was a net negative
in terms of notational verboseness, and didn't seem to be providing any
noticeable amount of abstraction either.

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
("invalid input syntax for cube" not "bad cube representation")
and errcode (INVALID_TEXT_REPRESENTATION not SYNTAX_ERROR).

<sys/select.h> is required by POSIX.1-2001 to get the prototype of

let you get away with including some other headers. Recent OpenBSD

The result of FD_ISSET() doesn't necessarily fit in a bool, though
assigning it to one might accidentally work depending on platform and which
socket FD number is being inquired of. Rewrite to test it with if(),
rather than making any specific assumption about the result width,
to match the way every other such call in PG is written.
Don't break out of the input_mask-filling loop after finding the first
client that we're waiting for results from. That mostly breaks parallel
query management.
Also, if we choose not to call select(), be sure to clear out any bits
the mask-filling loop might have set, so that we don't accidentally call
doCustom for clients we don't know have input. Doing so would likely
be harmless, but it's a waste of cycles and doesn't seem to be intended.
Make this_usec wide enough. (Yeah, the value would usually fit in an
int, but then why are we using int64 everywhere else?)
Minor cosmetic adjustments, mostly comment improvements.
Problems introduced by commit 12788ae49. The first issue was discovered
by buildfarm testing, the others by code review.
We had thirty different GIN array opclasses sharing the same operators and
support functions. That still didn't cover all the built-in types, nor
did it cover arrays of extension-added types. What we want is a single
polymorphic opclass for "anyarray". There were two missing features needed
to make this possible:
1. We have to be able to declare the index storage type as ANYELEMENT
when the opclass is declared to index ANYARRAY. This just takes a few
more lines in index_create(). Although this currently seems of use only
for GIN, there's no reason to make index_create() restrict it to that.
2. We have to be able to identify the proper GIN compare function for
the index storage type. This patch proceeds by making the compare function
optional in GIN opclass definitions, and specifying that the default btree
comparison function for the index storage type will be looked up when the
opclass omits it. Again, that seems pretty generically useful.
Since the comparison function lookup is done in initGinState(), making
use of the second feature adds an additional cache lookup to GIN index
access setup. It seems unlikely that that would be very noticeable given
the other costs involved, but maybe at some point we should consider
making GinState data persist longer than it now does --- we could keep it
in the index relcache entry, perhaps.
Rather fortuitously, we don't seem to need to do anything to get this
change to play nice with dump/reload or pg_upgrade scenarios: the new
opclass definition is automatically selected to replace existing index
definitions, and the on-disk data remains compatible. Also, if a user has
created a custom opclass definition for a non-builtin type, this doesn't
break that, since CREATE INDEX will prefer an exact match to opcintype
over a match to ANYARRAY. However, if there's anyone out there with
handwritten DDL that explicitly specifies _bool_ops or one of the other
replaced opclass names, they'll need to adjust that.

We weren't terribly consistent about whether to call Apple's OS "OS X"

Commits 470d886c3 et al intended to fix the problem that the postmaster

using PostmasterRandom() for that destroys the intended property that the

(Said delay is probably already more predictable than we could wish, but
that doesn't mean that reducing it by a couple orders of magnitude is OK.)

Past refactorings have removed all but one reference to SizeOfIptrData

ExecInitCteScan supposed that it didn't have to do anything to the extra
tuplestore read pointer it gets from tuplestore_alloc_read_pointer.
However, it needs this read pointer to be positioned at the start of the
tuplestore, while tuplestore_alloc_read_pointer is actually defined as
cloning the current position of read pointer 0. In normal situations
that accidentally works because we initialize the whole plan tree at once,
before anything gets read. But it fails in an EvalPlanQual recheck, as
illustrated in bug #14328 from Dima Pavlov. To fix, just forcibly rewind
the pointer after tuplestore_alloc_read_pointer. The cost of doing so is
negligible unless the tuplestore is already in TSS_READFILE state, which
wouldn't happen in normal cases. We could consider altering tuplestore's
API to make that case cheaper, but that would make for a more invasive
back-patch and it doesn't seem worth it.
This has been broken probably for as long as we've had CTEs, so back-patch
