_bt_readnextpage expects so->currPos.buf to be InvalidBuffer (and for
the position's page to be unlocked) when called. However, it does not
expect there to be no pins held on any page. In particular, so->markPos
might hold a separate pin, both before and after the call. Fix some
comments that seemed to suggest otherwise.

Running COPY within a pipeline can break protocol synchronization in
multiple ways. psql is limited in terms of result processing if mixing
COPY commands with normal queries while controlling a pipeline with the
new meta-commands, as an effect of the following reasons:
- In COPY mode, the backend ignores additional Sync messages and will
not send a matching ReadyForQuery expected by the frontend. Doing a
\syncpipeline just after COPY will leave the frontend waiting for a
ReadyForQuery message that won't be sent, leaving psql out-of-sync.
- libpq automatically sends a Sync with the Copy message which is not
tracked in the command queue, creating an unexpected synchronisation
point that psql cannot really know about. While it is possible to track
such activity for a \copy, this cannot really be done sanely with plain
COPY queries. Backend failures during a COPY would leave the pipeline
in an aborted state while the backend would be in a clean state, ready
to process commands.
At the end, fixing those issues would require modifications in how libpq
handles pipeline and COPY. So, rather than implementing workarounds in
psql to shortcut the libpq internals (with command queue handling for
one), and because meta-commands for pipelines in psql are a new feature
with COPY in a pipeline having a limited impact compared to other
queries, this commit forbids the use of COPY within a pipeline to avoid
possible break of protocol synchronisation within psql. If there is a
use-case for COPY support within pipelines in libpq, this could always
be added in the future, if necessary.
Most of the changes of this commit impacts the tests for psql pipelines,
removing the tests related to COPY. Some TAP tests still exist for COPY
TO/FROM and \copy to/from, to check that that connections are aborted
when this operation is attempted.

The algorithm to squash lists of constants added by commit 62d712ecfd
was a bit too simplistic; we wanted to avoid adding unnecessary
complexity, but cases like direct function calls of typecasting
functions (and others) were missed, and bogus SQL syntax was being shown
in pg_stat_statements normalized query text field. To fix normalization
for those cases, we need the parser to transmit information about were
each list of constant values starts and ends, so add that to a couple of
nodes. Also add a few more test cases to make sure we're doing the
right thing.
The patch initially submitted by Sami added a new private struct in
gram.y to carry the start/end information for A_Expr, but I (Álvaro)
decided that a better fix was to remove the parser indirection via the
in_expr production, and instead create separate components in the a_expr
rule. I'm surprised that this works and doesn't require more changes,
but I assume (without checking) that the grammar used to be more complex
and got simplified at some point.

This commit reverts the two following commits:
- 499edb0974, track more precisely query locations for nested
statements.
- 06450c7b8c, a follow-up fix of 499edb0974 with query locations.
The test introduced in this commit is not reverted. This is proving
useful to track a problem that only pgaudit was able to detect.
These prove to have issues with the tracking of SELECT statements, when
these use multiple parenthesis which is something supported by the
grammar. Incorrect location and lengths are causing pg_stat_statements
to become confused, failing its job in query normalization with
potential out-of-bound writes because the location and the length may
not match with what can be handled. A lot of the query patterns
discussed when this issue was reported have no test coverage in the main
regression test suite, or the recovery test 027_stream_regress.pl would
have caught the problems as pg_stat_statements is loaded by the node
running the regression tests. A first step would be to improve the test
coverage to stress more the query normalization logic.
A different portion of this work was done in 45e0ba30fc, with the
addition of tests for nested queries. These can be left in the tree.
They are useful to track the way inner queries are currently tracked by
PGSS with non-top-level entries, and will be useful when reconsidering
in the future the work reverted here.

Teach nbtree's _bt_killitems to leave the so->currPos page that it sets
LP_DEAD items on in whatever state it was in when _bt_killitems was
called. In particular, make sure that so->dropPin scans don't acquire a
pin whose reference is saved in so->currPos.buf.
Allowing _bt_killitems to change so->currPos.buf like this is wrong.
The immediate consequence of allowing it is that code in _bt_steppage
(that copies so->currPos into so->markPos) will behave as if the scan is
a !so->dropPin scan. so->markPos will therefore retain the buffer pin
indefinitely, even though _bt_killitems only needs to acquire a pin
(along with a lock) for long enough to mark known-dead items LP_DEAD.
This issue came to light following a report of a failure of an assertion
from recent commit e6eed40e. The test case in question involves the use
of mark and restore. An initial call to _bt_killitems takes place that
leaves so->currPos.buf in a state that is inconsistent with the scan
being so->dropPin. A subsequent call to _bt_killitems for the same
position (following so->currPos being saved in so->markPos, and then
restored as so->currPos) resulted in the failure of an assertion that
tests that so->currPos.buf is InvalidBuffer when the scan is so->dropPin
(non-assert builds got a "resource was not closed" WARNING instead).
The same problem exists on earlier releases, though the issue is far
more subtle there. Recent commit e6eed40e introduced the so->dropPin
field as a partial replacement for testing so->currPos.buf directly.
Earlier releases won't get an assertion failure (or buffer pin leak),
but they will allow the second _bt_killitems call from the test case to
behave as if a buffer pin was consistently held since the original call
to _bt_readpage. This is wrong; there will have been an initial window
during which no pin was held on the so->currPos page, and yet the second
_bt_killitems call will neglect to check if so->currPos.lsn continues to
match the page's now-current LSN.
As a result of all this, it's just about possible that _bt_killitems
will set the wrong items LP_DEAD (on release branches). This could only
happen with merge joins (the sole user of nbtree mark/restore support),
when a concurrently inserted index tuple used a recently-recycled TID
(and only when the new tuple was inserted onto the same page as a
distinct concurrently-removed tuple with the same TID). This is exactly
the scenario that _bt_killitems' check of the page's now-current LSN
against the LSN stashed in currPos was supposed to prevent.
A follow-up commit will make nbtree completely stop conditioning whether
or not a position's pin needs to be dropped on whether the 'buf' field
is set. All call sites that might need to drop a still-held pin will be
taught to rely on the scan-level so->dropPin field recently introduced
by commit e6eed40e. That will make bugs of the same general nature as
this one impossible (or make them much easier to detect, at least).

Traditionally, libpq's pqPutMsgEnd has rounded down the amount-to-send
to be a multiple of 8K when it is eagerly writing some data. This
still seems like a good idea when sending through a Unix socket, as
pipes typically have a buffer size of 8K or some fraction/multiple of
that. But there's not much argument for it on a TCP connection, since
(a) standard MTU values are not commensurate with that, and (b) the
kernel typically applies its own packet splitting/merging logic.
Worse, our SSL and GSSAPI code paths both have API stipulations that
if they fail to send all the data that was offered in the previous
write attempt, we mustn't offer less data in the next attempt; else
we may get "SSL error: bad length" or "GSSAPI caller failed to
retransmit all data needing to be retried". The previous write
attempt might've been pqFlush attempting to send everything in the
buffer, so pqPutMsgEnd can't safely write less than the full buffer
contents. (Well, we could add some more state to track exactly how
much the previous write attempt was, but there's little value evident
in such extra complication.) Hence, apply the round-down only on
AF_UNIX sockets, where we never use SSL or GSSAPI.
Interestingly, we had a very closely related bug report before,
which I attempted to fix in commit d053a879b. But the test case
we had then seemingly didn't trigger this pqFlush-then-pqPutMsgEnd
scenario, or at least we failed to recognize this variant of the bug.

Delay calling BufferGetLSNAtomic() until we finish reading a page that
actually contains items that btgettuple will return to the executor.
This reduces the number of calls during plain index scans (we'll only
call BufferGetLSNAtomic() when _bt_readpage returns true), and totally
eliminates calls during index-only scans, bitmap index scans, and plain
index scans of an unlogged relation.
Currently, when checksums (or wal_log_hints) are enabled, acquiring a
page's LSN in BufferGetLSNAtomic() involves locking the buffer header
(which involves the use of spinlocks). Testing has shown that enabling
page-level checksums causes large regressions with certain workloads,
especially on larger multi-socket systems.
The regression isn't tied to any Postgres 18 commit. However, Postgres
18 commit 04bec894 made initdb use checksums by default, so it seems
prudent to address the problem now.

Validating an unvalidated foreign key that references a partitioned

not necessarily have all the referenced rows, so errors would be raised.
Avoid doing that. The pg_constraint rows that cause this to happen are
only there to support the action triggers that implement the DELETE/

since the user may explicitly pass the $libdir prefix on LOAD

When the backend reads COPY data, it ignores all sync messages, as per
c01641f8ae. With psql pipelines, it is possible to manually send sync
messages with \sendpipeline which leaves the frontend in an
unrecoverable state as the backend will not send the necessary
ReadyForQuery message that is expected to feed psql result consumption
logic.
It could be possible to artificially reduce the piped_syncs and
requested_results, however libpq's state would still have queued sync
messages in its command queue, and the only way to consume those without
directly calling pqCommandQueueAdvance() is to process ReadyForQuery
messages that won't be sent since the backend ignores these. Perhaps
this could be improved in the future, but I am not really excited about
introducing this amount of complications in libpq to manipulate the
message queues without a better use case to support it.
Hence, this patch aborts the connection if we detect excessive sync
messages after a COPY in a pipeline to avoid staying in an inconsistent
protocol state, which is the best thing we can do with pipelines in
psql for now. Note that this change does not prevent wrapping a set
of queries inside a block made of \startpipeline and \endpipeline, only
the use of \syncpipeline for a COPY.

We store values for these options as array elements with the syntax

that leads to confusing and off-point error messages. We can
improve matters by rejecting names containing "=" up-front.

Commit 7406ab623f added a gist support function that we internally
refer to by the symbol GIST_STRATNUM_PROC. This translated from
"well-known" strategy numbers to opfamily-specific strategy numbers.
However, we later (commit 630f9a43ce) changed this to fit into
index-AM-level compare type mapping, so this function actually now
maps from compare type to opfamily-specific strategy numbers. So this
name is no longer fitting.
Moreover, the index AM level also supports the opposite, a function to
map from strategy number to compare type. This is currently not
supported in gist, but one might wonder what this function is supposed
to be called when it is added.
This patch changes the naming of the gist-level functionality to be
more in line with the index-AM-level functionality. This makes sense
because these are essentially the same thing on different levels.
This also changes the names of the externally visible functions that
are provided for use as such a support function.
