The IEEE 754 standard allows a wide variety of bit patterns for NaNs,
of which at least two ("NaN" and "-NaN") are pretty easy to produce
from SQL on most machines. This is problematic because our btree
comparison functions deem all NaNs to be equal, but our float hash
functions know nothing about NaNs and will happily produce varying
hash codes for them. That causes unexpected results from queries
that hash a column containing different NaN values. It could also
produce unexpected lookup failures when using a hash index on a
float column, i.e. "WHERE x = 'NaN'" will not find all the rows
it should.
To fix, special-case NaN in the float hash functions, not too much
unlike the existing special case that forces zero and minus zero
to hash the same. I arranged for the most vanilla sort of NaN
(that coming from the C99 NAN constant) to still have the same
hash code as before, to reduce the risk to existing hash indexes.
I dithered about whether to back-patch this into stable branches,
but ultimately decided to do so. It's a clear improvement for
queries that hash internally. If there is anybody who has -NaN
in a hash index, they'd be well advised to re-index after applying
this patch ... but the misbehavior if they don't will not be much
worse than the misbehavior they had before.

While populating the pgbench_accounts table, plain COPY was
unconditionally used. By changing it to COPY FREEZE, the time for
VACUUM is significantly reduced, thus the total time of "pgbench -i"
is also reduced. This only happens if pgbench runs against PostgreSQL
14 or later because COPY FREEZE in previous versions of PostgreSQL does
not bring the benefit. Also if partitioning is used, COPY FREEZE
cannot be used. In this case plain COPY will be used too.

Avoid repeating fragments of the query we're building, along the
same lines as recent cleanup in pg_dump. I got annoyed about this
because aa769f80e broke my pending patch to change postgres_fdw's
collation handling, due to each of us having incompletely done
this same refactoring. Let's finish that job in hopes of having
a more stable base.
Until now, when defining extended statistics, everything except a plain
column reference was treated as complex expression. So for example "a"
was a column reference, but "(a)" would be an expression. In most cases
this does not matter much, but there were a couple strange consequences.
For example
CREATE STATISTICS s ON a FROM t;
would fail, because extended stats require at least two columns. But
CREATE STATISTICS s ON (a) FROM t;
would succeed, because that requirement does not apply to expressions.
Moreover, that statistics object is useless - the optimizer will always
use the regular statistics collected for attribute "a".
So do a bit more work to identify those expressions referencing a single
column, and translate them to a simple column reference. Backpatch to
14, where support for extended statistics on expressions was introduced.

When starting to use a query parsetree loaded from the catalogs,
we must begin by applying AcquireRewriteLocks(), to obtain the same
relation locks that the parser would have gotten if the query were
entered interactively, and to do some other cleanup such as dealing
with later-dropped columns. New-style SQL functions are just as
subject to this rule as other stored parsetrees; however, of the
places dealing with such functions, only init_sql_fcache had gotten
the memo. In particular, if we successfully inlined a new-style
set-returning SQL function that contained any relation references,
we'd either get an assertion failure or attempt to use those
relation(s) sans locks.
I also added AcquireRewriteLocks calls to fmgr_sql_validator and
print_function_sqlbody. Desultory experiments didn't demonstrate any
failures in those, but I suspect that I just didn't try hard enough.
Certainly we don't expect nearby code paths to operate without locks.
On the same logic of it-ought-to-have-the-same-effects-as-the-old-code,
call pg_rewrite_query() in fmgr_sql_validator, too. It's possible
that neither code path there needs to bother with rewriting, but
doing the analysis to prove that is beyond my goals for today.

If the system crashed between CREATE TABLESPACE and the next checkpoint,
the result could be some files in the tablespace unexpectedly containing
no rows. Affected files would be those for which the system did not
write WAL; see the wal_skip_threshold documentation. Before v13, a
different set of conditions governed the writing of WAL; see v12's
<sect2 id="populate-pitr">. (The v12 conditions were broader in some
ways and narrower in others.) Users may want to audit non-default
tablespaces for unexpected short files. The bug could have truncated an
index without affecting the associated table, and reindexing the index
would fix that particular problem.
This fixes the bug by making create_tablespace_directories() more like
TablespaceCreateDbspace(). create_tablespace_directories() was
recursively removing tablespace contents, reasoning that WAL redo would
recreate everything removed that way. That assumption holds for other
wal_level values. Under wal_level=minimal, the old approach could
delete files for which no other copy existed. Back-patch to 9.6 (all

Backpatch: 14-, which enhanced the log output in various ways.
This was arguably a minor oversight in commit b4af70cb, which cleaned up
the function signatures of functions that modify IndexBulkDeleteResult
variables.
Since the whole documentation tool chain is now UTF-8 and there is an
increasing number of non-ISO-8859-1 characters in the text, keeping
the Texinfo output in ISO 8859-1 just creates unnecessary
complications. Depending on the platform, there are conversion
failures and thus build failures, or weirdly converted characters. By
changing the output to UTF-8, the whole encoding conversion business
is sidestepped.
Second thoughts about commit 824bf7190: we apply makesearch() to
an NFA after having determined whether it is a MATCHALL pattern.
Prepending ".*" doesn't make it non-MATCHALL, but it does change the
maximum possible match length, and makesearch() failed to update that.
This has no ill effects given the stylized usage of search NFAs, but
it seems like it's better to keep the data structure consistent. In
particular, fixing this allows more honest handling of the MATCHALL
check in matchuntil(): we can now assert that maxmatchall is infinity,
instead of lamely assuming that it should act that way.
In passing, improve the code in dump[c]nfa so that infinite maxmatchall
is printed as "inf" not a magic number.
