Bhis commit introduces enhancements to the pg_stat_checkpointer view by adding
three new columns: restartpoints_timed, restartpoints_req, and
restartpoints_done. These additions aim to improve the visibility and
monitoring of restartpoint processes on replicas.
Previously, it was challenging to differentiate between successful and failed
restartpoint requests. This limitation arises because restartpoints on replicas
are dependent on checkpoint records from the primary, and cannot occur more
frequently than these checkpoints.
The new columns allow for clear distinction and tracking of restartpoint
requests, their triggers, and successful completions. This enhancement aids
database administrators and developers in better understanding and diagnosing
issues related to restartpoint behavior, particularly in scenarios where
restartpoint requests may fail.
System catalog is changed. Catversion is bumped.

Commit 664d75753 pulled 010_tab_completion.pl's infrastructure for
invoking an interactive psql session out into a generally-useful test
function, but it didn't move enough stuff. We need to set up various
environment variables that readline will look at, both to ensure
stability of test results and to prevent test actions from cluttering
the calling user's ~/.psql_history. Expecting calling scripts to
remember to do that is too failure-prone: the other existing caller
001_password.pl did not do it. Hence, remove those initialization
steps from 010_tab_completion.pl and put them into interactive_psql().
Since interactive_psql was already making a local ENV hash, this has
no effect on calling scripts.

When a column is dropped, the fields attacl, attoptions, and

Up to now, our distribution tarballs have included a plain-text form
of the installation.sgml chapter. The rationale for that was that a
recipient might not have either ready internet access or HTML-viewing
tools; a theory that seems downright quaint today. Maintaining the
ability to generate this file is not without cost, because it puts
special requirements on installation.sgml that are often overlooked.
Moreover, we are moving in the direction of making our distribution
tarballs be pure git snapshots for traceability/reproducibility
reasons; including generated files doesn't fit into that plan.
Hence, let's just drop INSTALL and remove the infrastructure for
generating it. The top-level README will now recommend visiting
our website to see the installation instructions. As a useful
side-effect, we can get rid of README.git which has provoked

Another oversight in dc2123400, visible when building/testing
in the source directory. (There's a lot of stuff we could
simplify if we stop supporting that case, but for now it's
still mainstream.)
This is necessary when spgcanreturn() is invoked on a partitioned
index, and the failure might be reachable in other scenarios as
well. The rest of what spgGetCache() does is perfectly sensible
for a partitioned index, so we should allow it to go through.
I think the main takeaway from this is that we lack sufficient test
coverage for non-btree partitioned indexes. Therefore, I added
simple test cases for brin and gin as well as spgist (hash and
gist AMs were covered already in indexing.sql).
Per bug #18256 from Alexander Lakhin. Although the known test case
only fails since v16 (3c569049b), I've got no faith at all that there
aren't other ways to reach this problem; so back-patch to all
supported branches.

Fix a bug during MERGE if a cross-partition update is attempted on a
partitioned table with a BEFORE DELETE ROW trigger that returns NULL,
to prevent the update. This would cause an error to be thrown, or an
assert failure in an assert-enabled build.
This was an oversight in 9321c79c86, which failed to properly
distinguish a DELETE prevented by a trigger from one prevented by a
concurrent update. Fix by having ExecDelete() return the TM_Result
status to ExecCrossPartitionUpdate(), so that it can distinguish the
two cases, and make ExecCrossPartitionUpdate() return the TM_Result
status to ExecUpdateAct(), so that it can return the correct status
from a concurrent update.
In addition, ensure that the command tag is correctly updated by
having ExecMergeMatched() pass canSetTag to ExecUpdateAct(), rather
than passing false, so that it updates the command tag if it does a
cross-partition update, making this code path in ExecMergeMatched()
consistent with ExecUpdate().
Per bug #18238 from Alexander Lakhin. Back-patch to v15, where MERGE
was introduced.

sed is used only if dtrace or selinux are enabled. Those options are
only used on Unix platforms, which should have sed. But we don't want
to make sed a hard requirement on Windows, which was the case in meson

This just changes sed to be not-required by meson. If you happen to
use a system with, say, dtrace but without sed, you might get a
slightly complicated error from meson during the build, but that seems
better than making the requiredness a complicated conditional that

To take an incremental backup, you use the new replication command
UPLOAD_MANIFEST to upload the manifest for the prior backup. This
prior backup could either be a full backup or another incremental
backup. You then use BASE_BACKUP with the INCREMENTAL option to take
the backup. pg_basebackup now has an --incremental=PATH_TO_MANIFEST
option to trigger this behavior.
An incremental backup is like a regular full backup except that
some relation files are replaced with files with names like
INCREMENTAL.${ORIGINAL_NAME}, and the backup_label file contains
additional lines identifying it as an incremental backup. The new
pg_combinebackup tool can be used to reconstruct a data directory
from a full backup and a series of incremental backups.

When active, this process writes WAL summary files to
$PGDATA/pg_wal/summaries. Each summary file contains information for a
certain range of LSNs on a certain TLI. For each relation, it stores a
"limit block" which is 0 if a relation is created or destroyed within
a certain range of WAL records, or otherwise the shortest length to
which the relation was truncated during that range of WAL records, or
otherwise InvalidBlockNumber. In addition, it stores a list of blocks
which have been modified during that range of WAL records, but
excluding blocks which were removed by truncation after they were
modified and never subsequently modified again.
In other words, it tells us which blocks need to copied in case of an
incremental backup covering that range of WAL records. But this
doesn't yet add the capability to actually perform an incremental
backup; the next patch will do that.
A new parameter summarize_wal enables or disables this new background
process. The background process also automatically deletes summary
files that are older than wal_summarize_keep_time, if that parameter
has a non-zero value and the summarizer is configured to run.

It's at least theoretically possible to overflow int32 when adding up
column width estimates to make a row width estimate. (The bug example
isn't terribly convincing as a real use-case, but perhaps wide joins
would provide a more plausible route to trouble.) This'd lead to
assertion failures or silly planner behavior. To forestall it, make
the relevant functions compute their running sums in int64 arithmetic
and then clamp to int32 range at the end. We can reasonably assume
that MaxAllocSize is a hard limit on actual tuple width, so clamping
to that is simply a correction for dubious input values, and there's
no need to go as far as widening width variables to int64 everywhere.

- Remove MemoryContextAllocZeroAligned(). It was supposed to be a
faster version of MemoryContextAllocZero(), but modern compilers turn
the MemSetLoop() into a call to memset() anyway, making it more or
less identical to MemoryContextAllocZero(). That was the only user of
MemSetTest, MemSetLoop, so remove those too, as well as palloc0fast().
- Convert newNode() to a static inline function. When this was
originally originally written, it was written as a macro because
testing showed that gcc didn't inline the size check as we
intended. Modern compiler versions do, and now that it just calls
palloc0() there is no size-check to inline anyway.
One nice effect is that the palloc0() takes one less argument than
MemoryContextAllocZeroAligned(), which saves a few instructions in the
callers of newNode().

The value was double in the original implementation of this logic.
Commit da08a6598 pulled it out into a subroutine, but carelessly
declared the parameter as int when it should have been double.
On most platforms, the only ill effect would be to clamp the value
to be not more than INT_MAX, which would seldom be exceeded and
probably wouldn't change the estimates too much anyway. Nonetheless,
it's wrong and can cause complaints from ubsan.
While here, improve the comments and parameter names.
This is an ABI change in a globally exposed subroutine, so
