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
accesses to non-system views and foreign tables during the dump
process. This new GUC parameter is added to back branches too, but
these changes do not require cluster recreation.
Back-patch to all supported branches.

Before Bison 3.4, the generated parser implementation files run afoul
of -Wmissing-variable-declarations (in spite of commit ab61c40bfa)
because declarations for yylval and possibly yylloc are missing. The
generated header files contain an extern declaration, but the
implementation files don't include the header files. Since Bison 3.4,
the generated implementation files automatically include the generated
header files, so then it works.
To make this work with older Bison versions as well, include the
generated header file from the .y file.
(With older Bison versions, the generated implementation file contains
effectively a copy of the header file pasted in, so including the
header file is redundant. But we know this works anyway because the
core grammar uses this arrangement already.)

The buffer is used only locally within the function. Also, the
initialization to '0' characters was unnecessary, the initial content
were always overwritten with sprintf(). I don't understand why it was
done that way, but it's been like that since forever.
In the passing, change from sprintf() to snprintf(). The buffer was
long enough so sprintf() was fine, but this makes it more obvious that
there's no risk of a buffer overflow.

There were quite a few places where we either had a non-NUL-terminated
string or a text Datum which we needed to call escape_json() on. Many of
these places required that a temporary string was created due to the fact
that escape_json() needs a NUL-terminated cstring. For text types, those
first had to be converted to cstring before calling escape_json() on them.
Here we introduce two new functions to make escaping JSON more optimal:
escape_json_text() can be given a text Datum to append onto the given
buffer. This is more optimal as it foregoes the need to convert the text
Datum into a cstring. A temporary allocation is only required if the text
Datum needs to be detoasted.
escape_json_with_len() can be used when the length of the cstring is
already known or the given string isn't NUL-terminated. Having this
allows various places which were creating a temporary NUL-terminated
string to just call escape_json_with_len() without any temporary memory
allocations.

The buildfarm member "hake" reported a failure in the regression test
added by commit 857df3cef7, where postgres_fdw_get_connections(true)
returned unexpected results.
The function postgres_fdw_get_connections(true) checks
if a connection is closed by using POLLRDHUP in the requested events
and calling poll(). Previously, the function only considered
POLLRDHUP or 0 as valid returned events. However, poll() can also
return POLLHUP, POLLERR, and/or POLLNVAL. So if any of these events
were returned, postgres_fdw_get_connections(true) would report
incorrect results. postgres_fdw_get_connections(true) failed to
account for these return events.
This commit updates postgres_fdw_get_connections(true) to correctly
report a closed connection when poll() returns not only POLLRDHUP
but also POLLHUP, POLLERR, or POLLNVAL.

This commit extends the postgres_fdw_get_connections() function to
include a new used_in_xact column, indicating whether each connection
is used in the current transaction.
This addition is particularly useful for the upcoming feature that
will check if connections are closed. By using those information,
users can verify if postgres_fdw connections used in a transaction
remain open. If any connection is closed, the transaction cannot
be committed successfully. In this case users can roll back it
immediately without waiting for transaction end.
The SQL API for postgres_fdw_get_connections() is updated by
this commit and may change in the future. To handle compatibility
with older SQL declarations, an API versioning system is introduced,
allowing the function to behave differently based on the API version.

Commit d844cd75a disallowed rewind in a non-scrollable cursor to resolve

take into account the assumption in postgres_fdw that when rescanning a
foreign relation, it can rewind the cursor created for scanning the
foreign relation without specifying the SCROLL option, regardless of its

recreate the cursor, regardless of its scrollability, when rescanning

could improve this by rewinding it if it is scrollable and recreating it

For utility statements defined within a function, the query tree is

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

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

If we intend to generate a Memoize node on top of a path, we need
cache keys of some sort. Currently we search for the cache keys in
the parameterized clauses of the path as well as the lateral_vars of
its parent. However, it turns out that this is not sufficient because
there might be lateral references derived from PlaceHolderVars, which
we fail to take into consideration.
This oversight can cause us to miss opportunities to utilize the
Memoize node. Moreover, in some plans, failing to recognize all the
cache keys could result in performance regressions. This is because
without identifying all the cache keys, we would need to purge the
entire cache every time we get a new outer tuple during execution.
This patch fixes this issue by extracting lateral Vars from within
PlaceHolderVars and subsequently including them in the cache keys.
In passing, this patch also includes a comment clarifying that Memoize
nodes are currently not added on top of join relation paths. This
explains why this patch only considers PlaceHolderVars that are due to
be evaluated at baserels.

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.

Previously we searched for code points where the Unicode data file

Some codepoints redirect to a single other codepoint, instead of doing
any combining. We can follow those references recursively to get the
answer.
Per bug report #18362, which reported missing Ancient Greek characters.
Specifically, precomposed characters with oxia (from the polytonic
accent system used for old Greek) just point to precomposed characters
with tonos (from the monotonic accent system for modern Greek), and we
have to follow the extra hop to find out that they are composed with
an acute accent.
Besides those, the new rule also:
* pulls in a lot of 'Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols', which are
copies of the Latin and Greek alphabets and numbers rendered
in different typefaces, and
* corrects a single mathematical letter that previously came from the
CLDR transliteration file, but the new rule extracts from the main

former is a wrong (reported to CLDR).

Hash joins can support semijoin with the LHS input on the right, using
the existing logic for inner join, combined with the assurance that only
the first match for each inner tuple is considered, which can be
achieved by leveraging the HEAP_TUPLE_HAS_MATCH flag. This can be very
useful in some cases since we may now have the option to hash the
smaller table instead of the larger.
Merge join could likely support "Right Semi Join" too. However, the
benefit of swapping inputs tends to be small here, so we do not address
that in this patch.
Note that this patch also modifies a test query in join.sql to ensure it
continues testing as intended. With this patch the original query would
result in a right-semi-join rather than semi-join, compromising its

backend to issue an internal_error errcode, which is a state that should
be used only for "can't happen" situations. However, these code paths

valid cases. Some regression tests expect internal errcodes as they
manipulate the backend state to cause corruption (like checksums), or
use elog() because it is more convenient (like injection points), these
have no need to change.
This reduces the number of internal failures triggered in a check-world

5ae2087202 implemented a cross-page unique constraint check by loading

because bt_target_page_check() shouldn't change the target page. Also,
BtreeCheckState.target shouldn't be changed alone without

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

It is not clear to me (a non-Windows person looking only at buildfarm

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

As explained in 4d916dd876, the test instability is caused by delayed
cleanup of deleted rows. This commit removes the DELETE, stabilizing the
test without accidentally disabling parallel builds.
The intent of the delete however was to produce empty ranges, and test
that the parallel index build populates those correctly. But there's
another way to create empty ranges - partial indexes, which does not
rely on cleanup of deleted rows.
Idea to use partial indexes by Matthias van de Meent, patch by me.

The test for parallel create of BRIN indexes added by commit 8225c2fd40
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.
