This eliminates MultiXactOffset wraparound and the 2^32 limit on the
total number of multixid members. Multixids are still limited to 2^31,
but this is a nice improvement because 'members' can grow much faster
than the number of multixids. On such systems, you can now run longer
before hitting hard limits or triggering anti-wraparound vacuums.
Not having to deal with MultiXactOffset wraparound also simplifies the
code and removes some gnarly corner cases.
We no longer need to perform emergency anti-wraparound freezing
because of running out of 'members' space, so the offset stop limit is
gone. But you might still not want 'members' to consume huge amounts
of disk space. For that reason, I kept the logic for lowering vacuum's
multixid freezing cutoff if a large amount of 'members' space is
used. The thresholds for that are roughly the same as the "safe" and
"danger" thresholds used before, 2 billion transactions and 4 billion
transactions. This keeps the behavior for the freeze cutoff roughly
the same as before. It might make sense to make this smarter or
configurable, now that the threshold is only needed to manage disk
usage, but that's left for the future.
Add code to pg_upgrade to convert multitransactions from the old to
the new format, rewriting the pg_multixact SLRU files. Because
pg_upgrade now rewrites the files, we can get rid of some hacks we had
put in place to deal with old bugs and upgraded clusters. Bump catalog
version for the pg_multixact/offsets format change.

query_is_distinct_for() is intended to determine whether a query never
returns duplicates of the specified columns. For queries using
grouping sets, if there are no grouping expressions, the query may
contain one or more empty grouping sets. The goal is to detect
whether there is exactly one empty grouping set, in which case the
query would return a single row and thus be distinct.
The previous logic in query_is_distinct_for() was incomplete because
the check was insufficiently thorough and could return false when it
could have returned true. It failed to consider cases where the
DISTINCT clause is used on the GROUP BY, in which case duplicate empty
grouping sets are removed, leaving only one. It also did not
correctly handle all possible structures of GroupingSet nodes that
represent a single empty grouping set.
To fix, add a check for the groupDistinct flag, and expand the query's
groupingSets tree into a flat list, then verify that the expanded list
contains only one element.
No backpatch as this could result in plan changes.

Similar to the issue with constraint and statistics expressions fixed
in 317c117d6, index expressions and predicate can also suffer from
incorrect reduction of NullTest clauses during const-simplification,
due to unfixed varnos and the use of a NULL root. It has been
reported that this issue can cause the planner to fail to pick up a
partial index that it previously matched successfully.
Because we need to cache the const-simplified index expressions and
predicate in the relcache entry, we cannot fix the Vars before
applying eval_const_expressions. To ensure proper reduction of
NullTest clauses, this patch runs eval_const_expressions a second time
-- after the Vars have been fixed and with a valid root.
It could be argued that the additional call to eval_const_expressions
might increase planning time, but I don't think that's a concern. It
only runs when index expressions and predicate are present; it is
relatively cheap when run on small expression trees (which is
typically the case for index expressions and predicate), and it runs
on expressions that have already been const-simplified once, making
the second pass even cheaper. In return, in cases like the one
reported, it allows the planner to match and use partial indexes,
which can lead to significant execution-time improvements.

Previously, the slotsync worker relied on SIGINT for graceful shutdown
during promotion. However, SIGINT is also used by the LOCK_TIMEOUT handler
to cancel queries. Since the slotsync worker can lock catalog tables while
parsing libpq tuples, this overlap caused it to ignore LOCK_TIMEOUT
signals and potentially wait indefinitely on locks.
This patch replaces the slotsync worker's SIGINT handler with
StatementCancelHandler to correctly process query-cancel interrupts.
Additionally, the startup process now uses SIGUSR1 to signal the slotsync
worker to stop during promotion. The worker exits after detecting that the
shared memory flag stopSignaled is set.

This commit refactors the sanity check done by libpq to ensure that
there is no exit() reference in the build, moving the check from a
standalone Makefile rule to a perl script.
Platform-specific checks are now part of the script, avoiding most of
the duplication created by the introduction of this check for meson, but
not all of them:
- Solaris and Windows skipped in the script.
- Whitelist of symbols is in the script.
- nm availability, with its path given as an option of the script. Its
execution is checked in the script.
- Check is disabled if coverage reports are enabled. This part is not
pushed down to the script.
- Check is disabled for static builds of libpq. This part is filtered
out in each build script.
A trick is required for the stamp file, in the shape of an optional
argument that can be given to the script. Meson expects the stamp in
output and uses this argument, generating the stamp file in the script.
Meson is able to handle the removal of the stamp file internally when
libpq needs to be rebuilt and the check done again.
This refactoring piece has come up while discussing the addition of more
items in the symbols considered as acceptable.
This sanity check has never been run by meson since its introduction in
dc227eb82e, so it is possible that this fails in some of the buildfarm
members. At least the CI is happy with it, but let's see how it goes.

This test module acts as a replacement that existed prior to
d52c24b0f8 in the test module injection_points. It uses a more
flexible structure than its ancestor:
- Two libraries are built, one for fixed-sized stats and one for
variable-sized stats.
- No GUCs required. The stats are enabled only if one or both libraries
are loaded with shared_preload_libraries.
- Same kind IDs reserved: 25 (variable-sized) and 26 (fixed-sized)
The goal of this redesign is to be able to easier extend the code
coverage provided by this module for other changes that are currently
under discussion, and injection_points was not suited for these.
Injection points are also now widely used in the tree now, so extending
more the test coverage for custom pgstats in the test module
injection_points would be a riskier long-term move.
The new code is mostly a copy of what existed previously in the test
module injection_points, with the same callbacks defined for fixed-sized
and variable-sized stats, but a simpler overall structure in terms of
the stats counters updated.
The test coverage should remain the same as previously: one TAP test is
used to check data reports, crash recovery and clean restart scenarios.
Tests are added for the manual reset of fixed-sized stats, something
not tested until now.

A race condition could cause a newly created replication slot to become
invalidated between WAL reservation and a checkpoint.
Previously, if the required WAL was removed, we retried the reservation
process. However, the slot could still be invalidated before the retry if
the WAL was not yet removed but the checkpoint advanced the redo pointer
beyond the slot's intended restart LSN and computed the minimum LSN that
needs to be preserved for the slots.
The fix is to acquire an exclusive lock on ReplicationSlotAllocationLock
during WAL reservation to serialize WAL reservation and checkpoint's
minimum restart_lsn computation. This ensures that, if WAL reservation
occurs first, the checkpoint waits until restart_lsn is updated before
removing WAL. If the checkpoint runs first, subsequent WAL reservations
pick a position at or after the latest checkpoint's redo pointer.
We can't use the same fix for branch 17 and prior because commit
2090edc6f3 changed to compute to the minimum restart_LSN among slot's at
the beginning of checkpoint (or restart point). The fix for 17 and prior
branches is under discussion and will be committed separately.

The test module injection_points has been used as a landing spot to
provide coverage for the custom pgstats APIs, for both fixed-sized and
variable-sized stats kinds. Some recent work related to pgstats is
proving that this structure makes the implementation of new tests
harder.
This commit removes the code related to pgstats from injection_points,
and an equivalent will be reintroduced as a separate test module in a
follow-up commit. This removal is done in its own commit for clarity.
Using injection_points for this test coverage was perhaps not the best
way to design things, but this was good enough while working on the
first flavor of the custom pgstats APIs. Using a new test module will

The general case for converting to a JSONB numeric value is to run the
source datatype's output function and then numeric_in, but we can do
substantially better than that for integer and numeric source values.
This patch improves the speed of jsonb_agg by 30% for integer input,
and nearly 2X for numeric input.
Sadly, the obvious idea of using float4_numeric and float8_numeric
to speed up those cases doesn't work: they are actually slower than
the generic coerce-via-I/O method, and not by a small amount.
They might round off differently than this code has historically done,
too. Leave that alone pending possible changes in those functions.
We can also do better than the existing code for text/varchar/bpchar
source data; this optimization is similar to one that already exists
in the json_agg() code. That saves 20% or so for such inputs.
Also make a couple of other minor improvements, such as not giving
JSONTYPE_CAST its own special case outside the switch when it could
perfectly well be handled inside, and not using dubious string hacking
to detect infinity and NaN results.

The various variants of jsonb_agg() operate as follows,
for each aggregate input value:
1. Build a JsonbValue tree representation of the input value.
2. Flatten the JsonbValue tree into a Jsonb in on-disk format.
3. Iterate through the Jsonb, building a JsonbValue that is part
of the aggregate's state stored in aggcontext, but is otherwise
identical to what phase 1 built.
This is very slightly less silly than it sounds, because phase 1
involves calling non-JSONB code such as datatype output functions,
which are likely to leak memory, and we don't want to leak into the
aggcontext. Nonetheless, phases 2 and 3 are accomplishing exactly
nothing that is useful if we can make phase 1 put the JsonbValue
tree where we need it. We could probably do that with a bunch of
MemoryContextSwitchTo's, but what seems more robust is to give
pushJsonbValue the responsibility of building the JsonbValue tree
in a specified non-current memory context. The previous patch
created the infrastructure for that, and this patch simply makes
the aggregate functions use it and then rips out phases 2 and 3.
For me, this makes jsonb_agg() with a text column as input run
about 2X faster than before. It's not yet on par with json_agg(),
but this removes a whole lot of the difference.

Instead of passing "JsonbParseState **" to pushJsonbValue(),
pass a pointer to a JsonbInState, which will contain the
parseState stack pointer as well as other useful fields.
Also, instead of returning a JsonbValue pointer that is often
meaningless/ignored, return the top-level JsonbValue pointer
in the "result" field of the JsonbInState.
This involves a lot of (mostly mechanical) edits, but I think
the results are notationally cleaner and easier to understand.
Certainly the business with sometimes capturing the result of
pushJsonbValue() and sometimes not was bug-prone and incapable of
mechanical verification. In the new arrangement, JsonbInState.result
remains null until we've completed a valid sequence of pushes, so
that an incorrect sequence will result in a null-pointer dereference,
not mistaken use of a partial result.
However, this isn't simply an exercise in prettier notation.
The real reason for doing it is to provide a mechanism whereby
pushJsonbValue() can be told to construct the JsonbValue tree
in a context that is not CurrentMemoryContext. That happens
when a non-null "outcontext" is specified in the JsonbInState.
No callers exercise that option in this patch, but the next
patch in the series will make use of it.
I tried to improve the comments in this area too.

The SQL standard says that corr() and friends should return NULL in
the mathematically-undefined case where all the inputs in one of
the columns have the same value. We were checking that by seeing
if the sums Sxx and Syy were zero, but that approach is very
vulnerable to roundoff error: if a sum is close to zero but not
exactly that, we'd come out with a pretty silly non-NULL result.
Instead, directly track whether the inputs are all equal by
remembering the common value in each column. Once we detect
that a new input is different from before, represent that by
storing NaN for the common value. (An objection to this scheme
is that if the inputs are all NaN, we will consider that they
were not all equal. But under IEEE float arithmetic rules,
one NaN is never equal to another, so this behavior is arguably
correct. Moreover it matches what we did before in such cases.)
Then, leave the sums at their exact value of zero for as long
as we haven't detected different input values.
This solution requires the aggregate transition state to contain
8 float values not 6, which is not problematic, and it seems to add
less than 1% to the aggregates' runtime, which seems acceptable.
While we're here, improve corr()'s final function to cope with
overflow/underflow in the final calculation, and to clamp its
result to [-1, 1] in case of roundoff error.
Although this is arguably a bug fix, it requires a catversion bump
due to the change in aggregates' initial states, so it can't be
back-patched.

Previously, the 027_stream_regress test reported the full contents of
regression.diffs upon a test failure, when the standby and the primary
were still alive. If a test fails quite badly, the amount of
information reported can be really high, bloating the reports in the
buildfarm, the CI, or even local runs.
In most cases, we have noticed that having all this information is not
necessary when attempting to identify the source of a problem in this
test. This commit changes the situation by including the head and tail
of regression.diffs in the reports generated on failure rather than its
full contents, building upon b93f4e2f98 to optionally control the size
of the reports with the new environment variable
PG_TEST_FILE_READ_LINES.
This will perhaps require some more tuning, but the hope is to reduce

information reported by some of the TAP tests on failure, where we have
noticed that the contents reported by the buildfarm can be heavily
bloated in some cases, with the head and tail contents of a report being
able to provide enough information to be useful for debugging.

Due to an off-by-one error, the code failed to find matches at the
end of the haystack. Fix by rewriting the loop.
While at it, fix a comment that claimed that the function could find
a zero-length match. Such a match could send a caller into an endless
loop. However, zero-length matches only make sense with an empty
search string, and that case is explicitly excluded by all callers.
To make sure it stays that way, add an Assert and a comment.

Backpatch-through: 18
apply_scanjoin_target_to_paths wants to avoid useless work and
platform-specific dependencies by throwing away the path list created
prior to applying the final scan/join target and constructing a whole
new one using the final scan/join target. However, this is only valid
when we'll consider all the same strategies after the pathlist reset
as before.
After resetting the path list, we reconsider Append and MergeAppend
paths with the modified target list; therefore, it's only valid for a
partitioned relation. However, what the previous coding missed is that
it cannot be a partitioned join relation, because that also has paths
that are not Append or MergeAppend paths and will not be reconsidered.
Thus, before this patch, we'd sometimes choose a partitionwise strategy
with a higher total cost than cheapest non-partitionwise strategy,
which is not good.
We had a surprising number of tests cases that were relying on this
bug to work as they did. A big part of the reason for this is that row
counts in regression test cases tend to be low, which brings the cost
of partitionwise and non-partitionwise strategies very close together,
especially for merge joins, where the real and perceived advantages of
a partitionwise approach are minimal. In addition, one test case
included a row-count-inflating join. In such cases, a partitionwise
join can easily be a loser on cost, because the total number of tuples
passing through an Append node is much higher than it is with a
non-partitionwise strategy. That test case is adjusted by adding
additional join clauses to avoid the row count inflation.
Although the failure of the planner to choose the lowest-cost path is a
bug, we generally do not back-patch fixes of this type, because planning
is not an exact science and there is always a possibility that some user
will end up with a plan that has a lower estimated cost but actually
runs more slowly. Hence, no backpatch here, either.
The code change here is exactly what was originally proposed by
Ashutosh, but the changes to the comments and test cases have been
very heavily rewritten by me, helped along by some very useful advice
from Richard Guo.

Newest versions of gcc are able to detect cases where code implicitly
casts away const by assigning the result of strchr() or a similar
function applied to a "const char *" value to a target variable
that's just "char *". This of course creates a hazard of not getting
a compiler warning about scribbling on a string one was not supposed
to, so fixing up such cases is good.
This patch fixes a dozen or so places where we were doing that.
Most are trivial additions of "const" to the target variable,
since no actually-hazardous change was occurring. There is one
place in ecpg.trailer where we were indeed violating the intention
of not modifying a string passed in as "const char *". I believe
that's harmless not a live bug, but let's fix it by copying the
string before modifying it.
There is a remaining trouble spot in ecpg/preproc/variable.c,
which requires more complex surgery. I've left that out of this
commit because I want to study that code a bit more first.
We probably will want to back-patch this once compilers that detect
this pattern get into wider circulation, but for now I'm just
going to apply it to master to see what the buildfarm says.
Thanks to Bertrand Drouvot for finding a couple more spots than
I had.

The idea is to encourage more the use of these new routines across the
tree, as these offer stronger type safety guarantees than palloc(). In
an ideal world, palloc() would then act as an internal routine of these
flavors, whose footprint in the tree is minimal.
The patch sent by the author is very large, and this chunk of changes
represents something like 10% of the overall patch submitted.
The code compiled is the same before and after this commit, using
objdump to do some validation with a difference taken in-between. There
are some diffs, which are caused by changes in line numbers because some
of the new allocation formulas are shorter, for the following files:
trgm_regexp.c, xpath.c and pg_walinspect.c.

Corey Huinker has come up with a recipe that is more compact and more
pleasant to the eye for extended stats because we know that all of them
are 1-dimension JSON arrays. This commit switches the extended stats
tests to use replace() instead of jsonb_pretty(), splitting the data so
as one line is used for each item in the extended stats object.
This results in the removal of a good chunk of test output, that is now
easier to debug with one line used for each item in a stats object.
This patch has not been provided by Corey. This is some post-commit
cleanup work that I have noticed as good enough to do on its own while
reviewing the rest of the patch set Corey has posted.

Commit 76b78721ca introduced two new columns in pg_stat_replication_slots
to improve monitoring of slot synchronization. One of these columns was
named slotsync_skip_at, which is inconsistent with the naming convention
used for similar columns in other system views.
Columns that store timestamps of the most recent event typically use the
'last_' in the column name (e.g., last_autovacuum, checksum_last_failure).
Renaming slotsync_skip_at to slotsync_last_skip aligns with this pattern,
making the purpose of the column clearer and improving overall consistency
across the views.

Some of the buildfarm members with some old gcc versions have been
complaining about an always-true test for a NULL pointer caused by a
combination of SOFT_ERROR_OCCURRED() and a local ErrorSaveContext
variable.
These warnings are taken care of by removing SOFT_ERROR_OCCURRED(),
switching to a direct variable check, like 56b1e88c80.

This commit adds the version information of a node initialized by
Cluster.pm, that may vary depending on the install_path given by the
test. The code was written so as the node information, that includes
the version number, was dumped before the version number was set.
This is particularly useful for the pg_upgrade TAP tests, that may mix
several versions for cross-version runs. The TAP infrastructure also
allows mixing nodes with different versions, so this information can be
useful for out-of-core tests.
Backpatch down to v15, where Cluster.pm and the pg_upgrade TAP tests
have been introduced.

Adjust the prune_freeze_setup() parameter types of new_relfrozen_xid and
new_relmin_mxid to prevent misleading Coverity analysis.
heap_page_prune_and_freeze() compared these values against NULL when
passing them to prune_freeze_setup(), causing Coverity to assume they
could be NULL and flag a possible null-pointer dereference later, even

The key is the first member of PrivateRefCountEntry, which has type
Buffer. This commit changes the key size from sizeof(int32) to
sizeof(Buffer). This appears to be an oversight in commit
4b4b680c3d, but it's of no consequence because Buffer has been a
signed 32-bit integer for a long time.
