Several keywords were missing or misclassified in the original
SQL:2016 standard. This has been corrected in later technical
corrigenda. This change updates the PostgreSQL documentation
accordingly.
This also fixes a mistake in 606948b058d: The keywords JSON_SCALAR and
JSON_SERIALIZE added there are not from SQL:2016 but from future
SQL:202x, so they don't belong in that list yet.
(606948b058 also added JSON to the reserved list, which is what the
corrigendum also does, but failed to remove it from the nonreserved
list.)
This commit addresses the following issues in the TAP tests of
pg_upgrade, introduced in 322becb:
- Remove --port and --host for commands that already rely on a node's
environment PGHOST and PGPORT.
- Switch from run_log() to command_ok(), as all the commands executed in
the tests should succeed.
- Change EXTRA_REGRESS_OPTS to make it count as a shell fragment (fixing
s/OPT/OPTS on a way), to be compatible with the various Makefiles using
it as well as 027_stream_regress.pl in the recovery tests. The command
built for the execution the pg_regress command is reformatted, while on
it, to map with the recovery test doing the same thing (we should
refactor and consolidate that in the future, perhaps).
- Re-add the test for database names stressing the behavior of
backslashes with double quotes, mostly here for Windows.
Tests doable with the upgrade across different major versions still work
the same way.

The parser code that transformed VALUES from row-oriented to
column-oriented lists failed if there were zero columns.
You can't write that straightforwardly (though probably you
should be able to), but the case can be reached by expanding
a "tab.*" reference to a zero-column table.

This reverts commit eafdf9de06
and its back-branch counterparts. Corey Huinker pointed out that
we'd discussed this exact change back in 2016 and rejected it,
on the grounds that there's at least one usage pattern with LIMIT
where an infinite endpoint can usefully be used. Perhaps that
argument needs to be re-litigated, but there's no time left before
our back-branch releases. To keep our options open, restore the
status quo ante; if we do end up deciding to change things, waiting
one more quarter won't hurt anything.
Rather than just doing a straight revert, I added a new test case
demonstrating the usage with LIMIT. That'll at least remind us of
the issue if we forget again.

Security: CVE-2022-1552
When a feature enumerates relations and runs functions associated with
all found relations, the feature's user shall not need to trust every
user having permission to create objects. BRIN-specific functionality
in autovacuum neglected to account for this, as did pg_amcheck and
CLUSTER. An attacker having permission to create non-temp objects in at
least one schema could execute arbitrary SQL functions under the
identity of the bootstrap superuser. CREATE INDEX (not a
relation-enumerating operation) and REINDEX protected themselves too
late. This change extends to the non-enumerating amcheck interface.

Security: CVE-2022-1552
If a cluster is promoted (aka the control file shows a state different
than DB_IN_ARCHIVE_RECOVERY) while CreateRestartPoint() is still
processing, this function could miss an update of the control file for
"checkPoint" and "checkPointCopy" but still do the recycling and/or
removal of the past WAL segments, assuming that the to-be-updated LSN
values should be used as reference points for the cleanup. This causes
a follow-up restart attempting crash recovery to fail with a PANIC on a
missing checkpoint record if the end-of-recovery checkpoint triggered by
the promotion did not complete while the cluster abruptly stopped or
crashed before the completion of this checkpoint. The PANIC would be
caused by the redo LSN referred in the control file as located in a
segment already gone, recycled by the previous restartpoint with
"checkPoint" out-of-sync in the control file.
This commit fixes the update of the control file during restartpoints so
as "checkPoint" and "checkPointCopy" are updated even if the cluster has
been promoted while a restartpoint is running, to be on par with the set
of WAL segments actually recycled in the end of CreateRestartPoint().
This problem exists in all the stable branches. However, commit
7ff23c6, by removing the last call of CreateCheckPoint() from the
startup process, has made this bug much easier to reason about as
concurrent checkpoints are not possible anymore. No backpatch is done
yet, mostly out of caution from me as a point release is close by, but
we need to think harder about the case of concurrent checkpoints at
promotion if the bgwriter is not considered as running by the startup
process in ~v14, so this change is done only on HEAD for the moment.

Commits 4eb21763 and b74e94dc introduced a way to force every backend to
close all relation files, to fix an ancient Windows-only bug.
This commit extends that behavior to all operating systems and adds
a couple of extra barrier points, to fix a totally different class of
bug: the reuse of relfilenodes in scenarios that have no other kind of
cache invalidation to prevent file descriptor mix-ups.
In all releases, data corruption could occur when you moved a database
to another tablespace and then back again. Despite that, no back-patch
for now as the infrastructure required is too new and invasive. In
master only, since commit aa010514, it could also happen when using
CREATE DATABASE with a user-supplied OID or via pg_upgrade.

SubqueryScan was always getting labeled with a rowcount estimate
appropriate for non-parallel cases. However, nodes that are
underneath a Gather should be treated as processing only one
worker's share of the rows, whether the particular node is explicitly
parallel-aware or not. Most non-scan-level node types get this
right automatically because they base their rowcount estimate on
that of their input sub-Path(s). But SubqueryScan didn't do that,
instead using the whole-relation rowcount estimate as if it were
a non-parallel-aware scan node. If there is a parallel-aware node
below the SubqueryScan, this is wrong, and it results in inflating
the cost estimates for nodes above the SubqueryScan, which can cause
us to not choose a parallel plan, or choose a silly one --- as indeed
is visible in the one regression test whose results change with this
patch. (Although that plan tree appears to contain no SubqueryScans,
there were some in it before setrefs.c deleted them.)
To fix, use path->subpath->rows not baserel->tuples as the number
of input tuples we'll process. This requires estimating the quals'
selectivity afresh, which is slightly annoying; but it shouldn't
really add much cost thanks to the caching done in RestrictInfo.
This is pretty clearly a bug fix, but I'll refrain from back-patching
as people might not appreciate plan choices changing in stable branches.
The fact that it took us this long to identify the bug suggests that
it's not a major problem.
Per report from bucoo, though this is not his proposed patch.

The test for lz4.h used AC_CHECK_HEADERS, but nothing was using the

instead. This was probably an oversight, seeing that the nearby
similar tests do this correctly.
The testclient and uri-regress programs in the libpq test suite had
quite generic names which didn't convey much meaning. Since they are
installed as part of the MSVC test runs, ensure that their purpose
is a little bit clearer by renaming with a libpq_ prefix. While at
it rename uri-regress to uri_regress to avoid mixing dash and under-

The tests added in 9f8a050f68 failed nearly reliably on FreeBSD in CI, and
occasionally on the buildfarm. That turns out to be caused not by a bug in the
test, but by a longstanding bug in recovery conflict handling.
The standby timeout handler, used by ResolveRecoveryConflictWithBufferPin(),
executed SendRecoveryConflictWithBufferPin() inside a signal handler. A bad
idea, because the deadlock timeout handler (or a spurious latch set) could
have interrupted ProcWaitForSignal(). If unlucky that could cause a
self-deadlock on ProcArrayLock, if the deadlock check is in
SendRecoveryConflictWithBufferPin()->CancelDBBackends().
To fix, set a flag in StandbyTimeoutHandler(), and check the flag in
ResolveRecoveryConflictWithBufferPin().
Subsequently the recovery conflict tests will be backpatched.

Instability in the test for pg_walinspect revealed that
pg_get_wal_records_info_till_end_of_wal(x) would try to decode all the
records with a start LSN earlier than the flush LSN, even though that
might include a partial record at the end of the range. In that case,
read_local_xlog_page_no_wait() would return NULL when it tried to read
past the flush LSN, which would be interpreted as an error by the
caller. That caused a test failure only on a BF animal that had been
restarted recently, but could be expected to happen in the wild quite
easily depending on the alignment of various parameters.
Fix by using private data in read_local_xlog_page_no_wait() to signal
end-of-wal to the caller, so that it can be properly distinguished
from a real error.

I noticed that plpgsql would allow assignment of a new value to a
variable even when that variable is marked CONSTANT, if the variable
is used as an output parameter in CALL or is a refcursor variable
that OPEN assigns a new value to. Fix these oversights.
In the CALL case, the check has to be done at runtime because we
cannot know at parse time which parameters are OUT parameters.
For OPEN, it seems best to likewise enforce at runtime because
then we needn't throw error if the variable has a nonnull value
(since OPEN will only try to overwrite a null value).
Although this is surely a bug fix, no back-patch: it seems unlikely
that anyone would thank us for breaking formerly-working code in
minor releases.

mark_async_capable_plan(), which is called from create_append_plan() to

account that the given subplan created from a given subpath might

ForeignPath, causing a segmentation fault there when the subplan created
from a SubqueryScanPath includes the Result node, or causing
ExecAsyncRequest() to throw an error about an unrecognized node type
when the subplan created from a ForeignPath includes the Result node,
because in the latter case the Result node was unintentionally
considered as async-capable, but we don't currently support executing
Result nodes asynchronously. Fix by modifying mark_async_capable_plan()
to disable asynchronous execution in such cases. Also, adjust code in
the ProjectionPath case in mark_async_capable_plan(), for consistency
with other cases, and adjust/improve comments there.

This reverts commits 2c902bb and ccfbd92. Per buildfarm members
kestrel, rorqual and calliphoridae, the assertions checking that a TLI
history file should not exist when created by a WAL receiver have been
failing, and switching to durable_rename() over durable_rename_excl()

We need to think harder about such cases, so revert the new logic for
now.

durable_rename_excl() attempts to avoid overwriting any existing files
by using link() and unlink(), falling back to rename() on some platforms
(e.g., Windows where link() followed by unlink() is not concurrent-safe,
see 909b449). Most callers of durable_rename_excl() use it just in case
there is an existing file, but it happens that for all of them we never
expect a target file to exist (WAL segment recycling, creation of
timeline history file and basic_archive).
basic_archive used durable_rename_excl() to avoid overwriting an archive
concurrently created by another server. Now, there is a stat() call to
avoid overwriting an existing archive a couple of lines above, so note
that this change opens a small TOCTOU window in this module between the
stat() call and durable_rename().
Furthermore, as mentioned in the top comment of durable_rename_excl(),
this routine can result in multiple hard links to the same file and data
corruption, with two or more links to the same file in pg_wal/ if a
crash happens before the unlink() call during WAL recycling.
Specifically, this would produce links to the same file for the current
WAL file and the next one because the half-recycled WAL file was
re-recycled during crash recovery of a follow-up cluster restart.
This change replaces all calls to durable_rename_excl() with
durable_rename(). This removes the protection against accidentally
overwriting an existing file, but some platforms are already living
without it, and all those code paths never expect an existing file (a
couple of assertions are added to check after that, in case).
This is a bug fix, but knowing the unlikeliness of the problem involving
one of more crashes at an exceptionally bad moment, no backpatch is
done. This could be revisited in the future.

This commit adds two isolation tests for CLUSTER, using:
- A normal table, making sure that CLUSTER blocks and completes if the
table is locked by a concurrent session.
- A partitioned table with a partition owned by a different user. If
the partitioned table is locked by a concurrent session, CLUSTER on the
partitioned table should block. If the partition owned by a different
user is locked, CLUSTER on its partitioned table should complete and
skip the partition. 3f19e17 has added an early check to ignore such a
partition with a SQL regression test, but this was not checking that
CLUSTER should not block.
