Several places treat MyStartTime as a "long", which is only 32 bits
wide on some platforms. In reality, MyStartTime is a pg_time_t,
i.e., a signed 64-bit integer. This will lead to interesting bugs
on the aforementioned systems in 2038 when signed 32-bit integers
are no longer sufficient to store Unix time (e.g., "pg_ctl start"
hanging). To fix, ensure that MyStartTime is handled as a 64-bit
value everywhere. (Of course, users will need to ensure that
time_t is 64 bits wide on their system, too.)

When instantiating an existing partitioned index for a new child
partition, we use generateClonedIndexStmt to build a suitable
IndexStmt to pass to DefineIndex. However, when DefineIndex needs
to recurse to instantiate a newly created partitioned index on an
existing child partition, it was doing copyObject on the given
IndexStmt and then applying a bunch of ad-hoc fixups. This has
a number of problems, primarily that it implies fresh lookups of
referenced objects such as opclasses and collations. Since commit
2af07e2f7 caused DefineIndex to restrict search_path internally, those
lookups could fail or deliver different results than the original one.
We can avoid those problems and save a few dozen lines of code by
using generateClonedIndexStmt in this code path too.
Another thing this fixes is incorrect propagation of parent-index
comments to child indexes (because the copyObject approach copies
the idxcomment field while generateClonedIndexStmt doesn't). I had
noticed this in connection with commit c01eb619a, but not run the
problem to ground.
I'm tempted to back-patch this further than v17, but the only thing
it's known to fix in older branches is the comment issue, which is
pretty minor and doesn't seem worth the risk of introducing new
issues in stable branches. (If anyone does care about that,
clearing idxcomment in the copied IndexStmt would be a safer fix.)

change came in.

This commit adds query ID reports for two code paths when processing
extended query protocol messages:
- When receiving a bind message, setting it to the first Query retrieved
from a cached cache.
- When receiving an execute message, setting it to the first PlannedStmt
stored in a portal.
An advantage of this method is that this is able to cover all the types
of portals handled in the extended query protocol, particularly these
two when the report done in ExecutorStart() is not enough (neither is an
addition in ExecutorRun(), actually, for the second point):
- Multiple execute messages, with multiple ExecutorRun().
- Portal with execute/fetch messages, like a query with a RETURNING
clause and a fetch size that stores the tuples in a first execute
message going though ExecutorStart() and ExecuteRun(), followed by one
or more execute messages doing only fetches from the tuplestore created
in the first message. This corresponds to the case where
execute_is_fetch is set, for example.
Note that the query ID reporting done in ExecutorStart() is still
necessary, as an EXECUTE requires it. Query ID reporting is optimistic
and more calls to pgstat_report_query_id() don't matter as the first
report takes priority except if the report is forced. The comment in
ExecutorStart() is adjusted to reflect better the reality with the
extended query protocol.
The test added in pg_stat_statements is a courtesy of Robert Haas. This
uses psql's \bind metacommand, hence this part is backpatched down to
v16.

In existing releases of libxml2, xmlXPathCompile can be driven
to stack overflow because it fails to protect itself against
too-deeply-nested input. While there is an upstream fix as of
yesterday, it will take years for that to propagate into all
shipping versions. In the meantime, we can protect our own
usages basically for free by calling xmlXPathCtxtCompile instead.
(The actual bug is that libxml2 keeps its nesting counter in the
xmlXPathContext, and its parsing code was willing to just skip
counting nesting levels if it didn't have a context. So if we supply
a context, all is well. It seems odd actually that it works at all
to not supply a context, because this means that XPath parsing does
not have access to XML namespace info. Apparently libxml2 never
checks namespaces until runtime? Anyway, this seems like good
future-proofing even if its only immediate effect is to dodge a bug.)
Sadly, this hack only offers protection with libxml2 2.9.11 and newer.
Before that there are multiple similar problems, so if you are
processing untrusted XML it behooves you to get a newer version.
But we have some pretty old libxml2 in the buildfarm, so it seems
impractical to add a regression test to verify this fix.

I managed to break this test in two different ways in commit
05036a3155.
First, the output of the new call to tuple_data_split() on the test
sequence is dependent on endianness. This is fixed by setting a
special start value for the test sequence that produces the same
output regardless of the endianness of the machine.
Second, on versions older than v15, the new test case fails under
"force_parallel_mode = regress" with the following error:
ERROR: cannot access temporary tables during a parallel operation
This is because pageinspect's disk-accessing functions are
incorrectly marked PARALLEL SAFE on versions older than v15 (see
commit aeaaf520f4 for details). This one is fixed by changing the
test sequence to be permanent. The only reason it was previously
marked temporary was to avoid needing a DROP SEQUENCE command at
the end of the test. Unlike some other tests in this file, the use
of a permanent sequence here shouldn't result in any test
instability like what was fixed by commit e2933a6e11.

This test occasionally shows
+WARNING: could not get result of cancel request due to timeout
which appears to be because the cancel request is sometimes unluckily
sent to the remote session between queries, and then it's ignored.
This patch tries to make that less probable in three ways:
1. Use a test query that does not involve remote estimates, so that
no EXPLAINs are sent.
2. Make sure that the remote session is ready-to-go (transaction
started, SET commands sent) before we start the timer.
3. Increase the statement_timeout to 100ms, to give the local
session enough time to plan and issue the query.

When pg_dump retrieves the list of database objects and performs the
data dump, there was possibility that objects are replaced with others
of the same name, such as views, and access them. This vulnerability
could result in code execution with superuser privileges during the
pg_dump process.
This issue can arise when dumping data of sequences, foreign
tables (only 13 or later), or tables registered with a WHERE clause in
the extension configuration table.
To address this, pg_dump now utilizes the newly introduced
restrict_nonsystem_relation_kind GUC parameter to restrict the

For utility statements defined within a function, the query tree is
copied to a PlannedStmt as utility commands do not require planning.
However, the query ID was missing from the information passed down.
This leads to plugins relying on the query ID like pg_stat_statements to
not be able to track utility statements within function calls. Tests
are added to check this behavior, depending on pg_stat_statements.track.
This is an old bug. Now, query IDs for utilities are compiled using

When creating and initializing a logical slot, the restart_lsn is set
to the latest WAL insertion point (or the latest replay point on
standbys). Subsequently, WAL records are decoded from that point to
find the start point for extracting changes in the
DecodingContextFindStartpoint() function. Since the initial
restart_lsn could be in the middle of a transaction, the start point
must be a consistent point where we won't see the data for partial
transactions.
Previously, when not building a full snapshot, serialized snapshots
were restored, and the SnapBuild jumps to the consistent state even
while finding the start point. Consequently, the slot's restart_lsn
and confirmed_flush could be set to the middle of a transaction. This
could lead to various unexpected consequences. Specifically, there
were reports of logical decoding decoding partial transactions, and
assertion failures occurred because only subtransactions were decoded
without decoding their top-level transaction until decoding the commit
record.
To resolve this issue, the changes prevent restoring the serialized
snapshot and jumping to the consistent state while finding the start
point.
On v17 and HEAD, a flag indicating whether snapshot restores should be
skipped has been added to the SnapBuild struct, and SNAPBUILD_VERSION
has been bumpded.
On backbranches, the flag is stored in the LogicalDecodingContext
instead, preserving on-disk compatibility.

5ae2087202 implemented a cross-page unique constraint check by loading
the right sibling to the BtreeCheckState.target variable. This is wrong,
because bt_target_page_check() shouldn't change the target page. Also,
BtreeCheckState.target shouldn't be changed alone without
BtreeCheckState.targetblock.
However, the above didn't cause any visible bugs for the following reasons.
1. We do a cross-page unique constraint check only for leaf index pages.
2. The only way target page get accessed after a cross-page unique constraint
check is loading of the lowkey.
3. The only place lowkey is used is bt_child_highkey_check(), and that applies
only to non-leafs.
The reasons above don't diminish the fact that changing BtreeCheckState.target
for a cross-page unique constraint check is wrong. This commit changes this
check to temporarily store the right sibling to the local variable.

On other Windows build farm animals it is already skipped because they
don't use UTF-8 encoding. On "hamerkop", UTF-8 is used, and then the
test fails.
It is not clear to me (a non-Windows person looking only at buildfarm
evidence) whether Windows is less sophisticated than other OSes and
doesn't know how to downcase Turkish İ with the standard Unicode
database, or if it is more sophisticated than other systems and uses
locale-specific behavior like ICU does.
Whichever the reason, the result is the same: we need to skip the test
on Windows, just as we already do for ICU, at least until a
Windows-savvy developer comes up with a better idea. The technique for
detecting the OS is borrowed from collate.windows.win1252.sql.

happens to be unstable - a background transaction (e.g. auto-analyze)
may hold back global xmin for the initial VACUUM / CREATE INDEX. If the
cleanup happens before the next CREATE INDEX, the indexes will not be
exactly the same.
This is the same issue as e2933a6e11, so fix it the same way by making
the table TEMPORARY, which uses an up-to-date cutoff xmin that is not
held back by other processes.
Reported by Alexander Lakhin, who also suggested the fix.

Adds a regression test for parallel CREATE INDEX for BRIN indexes, to
improve coverage for BRIN code, particularly code to allow parallel
index builds introduced by b437571714.
The test is added to pageinspect, as that allows comparing the index to
one built without parallelism. Another option would be to just build the
index with parallelism and then check it produces correct results. But
checking the index is exactly as if built without parallelism makes
these query checks unnecessary.

This adjusts various appendStringInfo* function calls to use a more
appropriate and efficient function with the same behavior. For example,
use appendStringInfoChar() when appending a single character rather than
appendStringInfo() and appendStringInfoString() when no formatting is
required rather than using appendStringInfo().
All adjustments made here are in code that's new to v17, so it makes
sense to fix these now rather than wait a few years and make
backpatching harder.

When testing buffer pool logic, it is useful to be able to evict
arbitrary blocks. This function can be used in SQL queries over the
pg_buffercache view to set up a wide range of buffer pool states. Of
course, buffer mappings might change concurrently so you might evict a
block other than the one you had in mind, and another session might
bring it back in at any time. That's OK for the intended purpose of
setting up developer testing scenarios, and more complicated interlocking
schemes to give stronger guararantees about that would likely be less
flexible for actual testing work anyway. Superuser-only.

Presently, the archiver process restarts when an archive callback
ERRORs. To avoid this, archive module authors can use sigsetjmp(),
manage a memory context, etc., but that requires a lot of extra
code that will likely look roughly the same between modules. This
commit adds basic archive callback ERROR handling to pgarch.c so
that module authors won't ordinarily need to worry about this.
While this built-in handler attempts to clean up anything that an
archive module could conceivably have left behind, it is possible
that some modules are doing unexpected things that require
additional cleanup. Module authors should be sure to do any extra
required cleanup in a PG_CATCH block within the archiving callback.
The archiving callback is now called in a short-lived memory
context that the archiver process resets between invocations. If a
module requires longer-lived storage, it must maintain its own
memory context.
Thanks to these changes, the basic_archive module can be greatly
simplified.

The test fails when RESET statement_timeout takes longer than 10ms.
Avoid the problem by using SET LOCAL instead.
Overall, this test is not ideal: 10ms could be shorter than the time to
have sent the query to the "remote" server, so it's possible that on
some machines this test doesn't actually witness a remote query being
cancelled. We may want to improve on this someday by using some other
testing technique, but for now it's better than nothing. I verified
manually that one round of remote cancellation occurs when this runs on
my machine.
