This should have the same results for all practical purposes.
The advantage of selecting 'GMT' is that it's guaranteed to work
even when the remote system's timezone database is missing
entries, because pg_tzset() hard-wires handling of that,
at least in 9.2 and later.
(It seems like it would be a good idea to similarly hard-wire

than I want to consider back-patching. Leave that for another

Commit 61461a300c introduced new functions to libpq for cancelling
queries. This commit introduces a helper function that backend-side
libraries and extensions can use to invoke those. This function takes a
timeout and can itself be interrupted while it is waiting for a cancel
request to be sent and processed, instead of being blocked.
This replaces the usage of the old functions in postgres_fdw and dblink.
Finally, it also adds some test coverage for the cancel support in
postgres_fdw.

This replaces dblink's blocking libpq calls, allowing cancellation and
allowing DROP DATABASE (of a database not involved in the query). Apart
from explicit dblink_cancel_query() calls, dblink still doesn't cancel
the remote side. The replacement for the blocking calls consists of
new, general-purpose query execution wrappers in the libpqsrv facility.
Out-of-tree extensions should adopt these. Use them in postgres_fdw,
replacing a local implementation from which the libpqsrv implementation
derives. This is a bug fix for dblink. Code inspection identified the
bug at least thirteen years ago, but user complaints have not appeared.
Hence, no back-patch for now.

- Addition of two functions that encapsulate the list of wait events for

This reverts commit 3d03b24c3 (Revert Add support for Kerberos
credential delegation) which was committed on the grounds of concern
about portability, but on further review and discussion, it's clear that
we are better off explicitly requiring MIT Kerberos as that appears to
be the only GSSAPI library currently that's under proper maintenance
and ongoing development. The API used for storing credentials was added
to MIT Kerberos over a decade ago while for the other libraries which
appear to be mainly based on Heimdal, which exists explicitly to be a
re-implementation of MIT Kerberos, the API never made it to a released
version (even though it was added to the Heimdal git repo over 5 years
ago..).

Support GSSAPI/Kerberos credentials being delegated to the server by a
client. With this, a user authenticating to PostgreSQL using Kerberos
(GSSAPI) credentials can choose to delegate their credentials to the
PostgreSQL server (which can choose to accept them, or not), allowing
the server to then use those delegated credentials to connect to
another service, such as with postgres_fdw or dblink or theoretically
any other service which is able to be authenticated using Kerberos.
Both postgres_fdw and dblink are changed to allow non-superuser
password-less connections but only when GSSAPI credentials have been
delegated to the server by the client and GSSAPI is used to
authenticate to the remote system.

9e98583 introduced a helper to centralize building their needed state
(tuplestore, tuple descriptors, etc.), checking for any errors. This
commit updates all places of contrib/ that can be switched to use
SetSingleFuncCall() as a drop-in replacement, resulting in the removal
of a lot of boilerplate code in all the modules updated by this commit.
Per analysis, some places remain as they are:
- pg_logdir_ls() in adminpack/ uses historically TYPEFUNC_RECORD as
return type, and I suspect that changing it may cause issues at run-time
with some of its past versions, down to 1.0.
- dblink/ uses a wrapper function doing exactly the work of
SetSingleFuncCall(). Here the switch should be possible, but rather
invasive so it does not seem the extra backpatch maintenance cost.
- tablefunc/, similarly, uses multiple helper functions with portions of
SetSingleFuncCall() spread across the code paths of this module.

Commit 27e1f1456 resets the per-connection states of connections used to

postgres_fdw calls pgfdw_get_cleanup_result() to wait for the result of

Previously postgres_fdw reported no warning message even when the timeout
expired or a connection trouble happened in pgfdw_get_cleanup_result().
This could make the troubleshooting harder when such an event occurred.

The information about options specified in TRUNCATE command, e.g.,

truncate is also passed to FDW. FDW truncates the foreign data sources
that the passed foreign tables specify, based on those information.
For example, postgres_fdw constructs TRUNCATE command using them
and issues it to the foreign server.

This implements asynchronous execution, which runs multiple parts of a
non-parallel-aware Append concurrently rather than serially to improve
performance when possible. Currently, the only node type that can be
run concurrently is a ForeignScan that is an immediate child of such an
Append. In the case where such ForeignScans access data on different
remote servers, this would run those ForeignScans concurrently, and
overlap the remote operations to be performed simultaneously, so it'll
improve the performance especially when the operations involve
time-consuming ones such as remote join and remote aggregation.
We may extend this to other node types such as joins or aggregates over
ForeignScans in the future.
This also adds the support for postgres_fdw, which is enabled by the

Invent a new flag bit HASH_STRINGS to specify C-string hashing, which
was formerly the default; and add assertions insisting that exactly
one of the bits HASH_STRINGS, HASH_BLOBS, and HASH_FUNCTION be set.
This is in hopes of preventing recurrences of the type of oversight
fixed in commit a1b8aa1e4 (i.e., mistakenly omitting HASH_BLOBS).
Also, when HASH_STRINGS is specified, insist that the keysize be
more than 8 bytes. This is a heuristic, but it should catch
accidental use of HASH_STRINGS for integer or pointer keys.
(Nearly all existing use-cases set the keysize to NAMEDATALEN or
more, so there's little reason to think this restriction should
be problematic.)
Tweak hash_create() to insist that the HASH_ELEM flag be set, and
remove the defaults it had for keysize and entrysize. Since those
defaults were undocumented and basically useless, no callers
omitted HASH_ELEM anyway.
Also, remove memset's zeroing the HASHCTL parameter struct from
those callers that had one. This has never been really necessary,
and while it wasn't a bad coding convention it was confusing that
some callers did it and some did not. We might as well save a few
cycles by standardizing on "not".
Also improve the documentation for hash_create().
In passing, improve reinit.c's usage of a hash table by storing
the key as a binary Oid rather than a string; and, since that's
a temporary hash table, allocate it in CurrentMemoryContext for
neatness.

Introduce TimestampDifferenceMilliseconds() to simplify callers
that would rather have the difference in milliseconds, instead of
the select()-oriented seconds-and-microseconds format. This gets
rid of at least one integer division per call, and it eliminates
some apparently-easy-to-mess-up arithmetic.
Two of these call sites were in fact wrong:
* pg_prewarm's autoprewarm_main() forgot to multiply the seconds
by 1000, thus ending up with a delay 1000X shorter than intended.
That doesn't quite make it a busy-wait, but close.
* postgres_fdw's pgfdw_get_cleanup_result() thought it needed to compute
microseconds not milliseconds, thus ending up with a delay 1000X longer
than intended. Somebody along the way had noticed this problem but
misdiagnosed the cause, and imposed an ad-hoc 60-second limit rather
than fixing the units. This was relatively harmless in context, because
we don't care that much about exactly how long this delay is; still,
it's wrong.
There are a few more callers of TimestampDifference() that don't
have a direct need for seconds-and-microseconds, but can't use
TimestampDifferenceMilliseconds() either because they do need
microsecond precision or because they might possibly deal with
intervals long enough to overflow 32-bit milliseconds. It might be
worth inventing another API to improve that, but that seems outside
the scope of this patch; so those callers are untouched here.
Given the fact that we are fixing some bugs, and the likelihood
that future patches might want to back-patch code that uses this
new API, back-patch to all supported branches.

triggers within index expressions and materialized view queries. 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. One can work around the vulnerability by disabling
autovacuum and not manually running ANALYZE, CLUSTER, REINDEX, CREATE
INDEX, VACUUM FULL, or REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW. (Don't restore from
pg_dump, since it runs some of those commands.) Plain VACUUM (without
FULL) is safe, and all commands are fine when a trusted user owns the
target object. Performance may degrade quickly under this workaround,
however. Back-patch to 9.5 (all supported versions).

Security: CVE-2020-25695
Commit 32a9c0bdf introduced connection retry logic into postgres_fdw.
Previously it used goto statement for retry. This commit gets rid of that
goto from the logic to make the code simpler and easier-to-read.
When getting out of PG_CATCH() for the retry, the error state should be
cleaned up and the memory context should be reset. But commit 32a9c0bdf
forgot to do that. This commit also fixes this bug.
Previously only PQstatus()==CONNECTION_BAD was verified to detect
connection failure. But this could cause false detection in the case where
any error other than connection failure (e.g., out-of-memory) was thrown
after a broken connection was detected in libpq and CONNECTION_BAD is set.
To fix this issue, this commit changes the logic so that it also checks
the error's sqlstate is ERRCODE_CONNECTION_FAILURE.
