Add a TAP test for sepgsql. This automates the previously required
manual setup before the test. The actual tests are still run by
pg_regress, as before, but now called from within the TAP Perl script.
The previous manual test script (test_sepgsql) is left in place, since
its purpose is (also) to test whether a running instance was properly
initialized for sepgsql. But it has been changed to call pg_regress
directly and no longer require make.

With deferred triggers, it is possible that the current role changes
between the time when the trigger is queued and the time it is
executed (for example, the triggering data modification could have
been executed in a SECURITY DEFINER function).
Up to now, deferred trigger functions would run with the current role
set to whatever was active at commit time. That does not matter for
foreign-key constraints, whose correctness doesn't depend on the
current role. But for user-written triggers, the current role
certainly can matter.
Hence, fix things so that AFTER triggers are fired under the role
that was active when they were queued, matching the behavior of
BEFORE triggers which would have actually fired at that time.
(If the trigger function is marked SECURITY DEFINER, that of course
overrides this, as it always has.)
This does not create any new security exposure: if you do DML on a
table owned by a hostile user, that user has always had various ways
to exploit your permissions, such as the aforementioned BEFORE
triggers, default expressions, etc. It might remove some security
exposure, because the old behavior could potentially expose some
other role besides the one directly modifying the table.
There was discussion of making a larger change, such as running as
the trigger's owner. However, that would break the common idiom of
capturing the value of CURRENT_USER in a trigger for auditing/logging
purposes. This change will make no difference in the typical scenario
where the current role doesn't change before commit.
Arguably this is a bug fix, but it seems too big a semantic change
to consider for back-patching.

When scanning existing AfterTriggerSharedData records in search
of a match to the event being queued, we were examining the
records from oldest to newest. But it makes more sense to do
the opposite. The newest record is likely to be from the current
query, while the oldest is likely to be from some previous command
in the same transaction, which will likely have different details.
There aren't expected to be very many active AfterTriggerSharedData
records at once, so that this change is unlikely to make any
spectacular difference. Still, having added a nontrivially-expensive
bms_equal call to this loop yesterday, I feel a need to shave cycles

This feature was intentionally omitted when FKs were first implemented
for partitioned tables, and had been requested a few times; the
usefulness is clear.
Validation can happen for each partition individually, which is useful
to contain the number of locks held and the duration; or it can be
executed for the partitioning hierarchy as a single command, which
validates all child constraints that haven't been validated already.
This is also useful to implement NOT ENFORCED constraints on top.

Since commit f78667bd91, we've used __attribute__((target(...)))
instead of extra compiler flags for AVX-512 support, but this
comment still says that we put the code in a separate file because
it might require extra compiler flags. Let's just remove that part
of the comment.
This patch fixes two distinct errors that both ultimately trace
to commit 71d60e2aa, which added the ats_modifiedcols field.
The more severe error is that ats_modifiedcols wasn't accounted for
in afterTriggerAddEvent's scanning loop that looks for a pre-existing
duplicate AfterTriggerSharedData. Thus, a new event could be
incorrectly matched to an AfterTriggerSharedData that has a different
value of ats_modifiedcols, resulting in the wrong tg_updatedcols
bitmap getting passed to the trigger whenever it finally gets fired.
We'd not noticed because (a) few triggers consult tg_updatedcols,
and (b) we had no tests exercising a case where such a trigger was
called as an AFTER trigger. In the test case added by this commit,
contrib/lo's trigger fails to remove a large object when expected
because (without this fix) it thinks the LO OID column hasn't changed.
The other problem was introduced by commit ce5aaea8c, which copied the
modified-columns bitmap into trigger-related storage. It made a copy
for every trigger event, whereas what we really want is to make a new
copy only when we make a new AfterTriggerSharedData entry. (We could
imagine adding extra logic to reduce the number of bitmap copies still
more, but it doesn't look worthwhile at the moment.) In a simple test
of an UPDATE of 10000000 rows with a single AFTER trigger, this thinko
roughly tripled the amount of memory consumed by the pending-triggers
data structures, from 160446744 to 480443440 bytes.
Fixing the first problem requires introducing a bms_equal() call into
afterTriggerAddEvent's scanning loop, which is slightly annoying from
a speed perspective. However, getting rid of the excessive bms_copy()
calls from the second problem balances that out; overall speed of
trigger operations is the same or slightly better, in my tests.

This commit rewrites a good chunk of the command arrays in TAP tests
with a grammar based on the following rules:
- Fat commas are used between option names and their values, making it
clear to both humans and perltidy that values and names are bound
together. This is particularly useful for the readability of multi-line
command arrays, and there are plenty of them in the TAP tests. Most of
the test code is updated to use this style. Some commands used
parenthesis to show the link, or attached values and options in a single
string. These are updated to use fat commas instead.
- Option names are switched to use their long names, making them more
self-documented. Based on a suggestion by Andrew Dunstan.
- Add some trailing commas after the last item in multi-line arrays,
which is a common perl style.
Not all the places are taken care of, but this covers a very good chunk

In common cases, foreign keys are defined on the toplevel partitioned

partitioned table, and the referencing partition is detached, we would
examine the pg_constraint row on the partition being detached, and fail
to realize that the sub-constraints must be left alone. This causes the
ALTER TABLE DETACH process to fail with
ERROR: could not find ON INSERT check triggers of foreign key constraint NNN
This is similar but not quite the same as what was fixed by

the detach procedure was different there, so we only backpatch down to

This commit refactors ExecScan() by moving its tuple-fetching,
filtering, and projection logic into an inline-able function,
ExecScanExtended(), defined in src/include/executor/execScan.h.
ExecScanExtended() accepts parameters for EvalPlanQual state,
qualifiers (ExprState), and projection (ProjectionInfo).
Specialized variants of the execution function of a given Scan node
(for example, ExecSeqScan() for SeqScan) can then pass const-NULL for
unused parameters. This allows the compiler to inline the logic and
eliminate unnecessary branches or checks. Each variant function thus
contains only the necessary code, optimizing execution for scans
where these features are not needed.
The variant function to be used is determined in the ExecInit*()
function of the node and assigned to the ExecProcNode function pointer
in the node's PlanState, effectively turning runtime checks and
conditional branches on the NULLness of epqstate, qual, and projInfo
into static ones, provided the compiler successfully eliminates
unnecessary checks from the inlined code of ExecScanExtended().
Currently, only ExecSeqScan() is modified to take advantage of this
inline-ability. Other Scan nodes might benefit from such specialized
variant functions but that is left as future work.
Benchmarks performed by Junwang Zhao, David Rowley and myself show up
to a 5% reduction in execution time for queries that rely heavily on
Seq Scans. The most significant improvements were observed in
scenarios where EvalPlanQual, qualifiers, and projection were not
required, but other cases also benefit from reduced runtime overhead
due to the inlining and removal of unnecessary code paths.
The idea for this patch first came from Andres Freund in an off-list
discussion. The refactoring approach implemented here is based on a
proposal by David Rowley, significantly improving upon the patch I
(amitlan) initially proposed.

9aea73fc61 has added support for backend statistics, relying on
PgStat_EntryRef->pending for its data pending for flush. This design
lacks in flexibility, because the pending list does some memory
allocation, making it unsuitable if incrementing counters in critical
sections.
Pending data of backend statistics is reworked so the implementation
does not depend on PgStat_EntryRef->pending anymore, relying on a static
area of memory to store the counters that are flushed when stats are
reported to the pgstats dshash. An advantage of this approach is to
allow the pending data to be manipulated in critical sections; some
patches are under discussion and require that.
The pending data is tracked by PendingBackendStats, local to
pgstat_backend.c. Two routines are introduced to allow IO statistics to
update the backend-side counters. have_static_pending_cb and
flush_static_cb are used for the flush, instead of flush_pending_cb.

The freshly-released 2025a version of tzdata has a refined estimate
for the longitude of Manila, changing their value for LMT in
pre-standardized-timezone days. This changes the output of one of
our test cases. Since we need to be able to run with system tzdata
files that may or may not contain this update, we'd better stop
making that specific test.
I switched it to use Asia/Singapore, which has a roughly similar UTC
offset. That LMT value hasn't changed in tzdb since 2003, so we can
hope that it's well established.
I also noticed that this set of make_timestamptz tests only exercises
zones east of Greenwich, which seems rather sad, and was not the
original intent AFAICS. (We've already changed these tests once
to stabilize their results across tzdata updates, cf 66b737cd9;
it looks like I failed to consider the UTC-offset-sign aspect then.)
To improve that, add a test with Pacific/Honolulu. That LMT offset
is also quite old in tzdb, so we'll cross our fingers that it doesn't
get improved.

XLogPageRead() checks immediately for an invalid WAL record header on a
standby, to be able to handle the case of continuation records that need
to be read across two different sources. As written, the check was too
generic, applying to any target LSN. Based on an analysis by Kyotaro
Horiguchi, what really matters is to make sure that the page header is
checked when attempting to read a LSN at the boundary of a segment, to
handle the case of a continuation record that spawns across multiple
pages when dealing with multiple segments, as WAL receivers are spawned
they request WAL from the beginning of a segment. This fix has been
proposed by Kyotaro Horiguchi.
This could cause standbys to loop infinitely when dealing with a
continuation record during a timeline jump, in the case where the
contents of the record in the follow-up page are invalid.
Some regression tests are added to check such scenarios, able to
reproduce the original problem. In the test, the contents of a
continuation record are overwritten with junk zeros on its follow-up
page, and replayed on standbys. This is inspired by 039_end_of_wal.pl,
and is enough to show how standbys should react on promotion by not
being stuck. Without the fix, the test would fail with a timeout. The
test to reproduce the problem has been written by Alexander Kukushkin.

The PG_UNICODE_FAST locale uses code point sort order (fast,
memcmp-based) combined with Unicode character semantics. The character
semantics are based on Unicode full case mapping.
Full case mapping can map a single codepoint to multiple codepoints,
such as "ß" uppercasing to "SS". Additionally, it handles
context-sensitive mappings like the "final sigma", and it uses
titlecase mappings such as "Dž" when titlecasing (rather than plain
uppercase mappings).
Importantly, the uppercasing of "ß" as "SS" is specifically mentioned
by the SQL standard. In Postgres, UCS_BASIC uses plain ASCII semantics
for case mapping and pattern matching, so if we changed it to use the
PG_UNICODE_FAST locale, it would offer better compliance with the
standard. For now, though, do not change the behavior of UCS_BASIC.
