PG type coercions are generally strict, ie a NULL input must produce
a NULL output (or, in domain cases, possibly an error). The planner's
understanding of that was a bit incomplete though, so improve it:
* Teach contain_nonstrict_functions() that CoerceViaIO can always be
considered strict. Previously it believed that only if the underlying
I/O functions were marked strict, which is often but not always true.
* Teach clause_is_strict_for() that CoerceViaIO, ArrayCoerceExpr,
ConvertRowtypeExpr, CoerceToDomain can all be considered strict.
Previously it knew nothing about any of them.
The main user-visible impact of this is that IS NOT NULL predicates
can be proven to hold from expressions involving casts in more cases
than before, allowing partial indexes with such predicates to be used
without extra pushups. This reduces the surprise factor for users,
who may well be used to ordinary (function-call-based) casts being
known to be strict.
Per a gripe from Samuel Williams. This doesn't rise to the level of
a bug, IMO, so no back-patch.
Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/27571.1550617881@sss.pgh.pa.us
The recursion in contain_nonstrict_functions_walker() was done wrong,
causing the strictness check to be bypassed for a parse node that
is the immediate input of an ArrayCoerceExpr node. This could allow,
for example, incorrect decisions about whether a strict SQL function
can be inlined.
I didn't add a regression test, because (a) the bug is so narrow
and (b) I couldn't think of a test case that wasn't dependent on a
large number of other behaviors, to the point where it would likely
soon rot to the point of not testing what it was intended to.
I broke this in commit c12d570fa, so back-patch to v11.

INSERT ... VALUES for a single VALUES row is implemented differently
from a multi-row VALUES list, which causes inconsistent behaviour in
the way that DEFAULT items are handled. In particular, when inserting
into an auto-updatable view on top of a table with a column default, a
DEFAULT item in a single VALUES row gets correctly replaced with the
table column's default, but for a multi-row VALUES list it is replaced
with NULL.
Fix this by allowing rewriteValuesRTE() to leave DEFAULT items in the
VALUES list untouched if the target relation is an auto-updatable view
and has no column default, deferring DEFAULT-expansion until the query
against the base relation is rewritten. For all other types of target
relation, including tables and trigger- and rule-updatable views, we
must continue to replace DEFAULT items with NULL in the absence of a
column default.
This is somewhat complicated by the fact that if an auto-updatable
view has DO ALSO rules attached, the VALUES lists for the product
queries need to be handled differently from the original query, since
the product queries need to act like rule-updatable views whereas the
original query has auto-updatable view semantics.

Changes made by commit 02ddd49 mean that dumps made against pre version

allows for it to be explicitly set rather than relying on pg_dump's

When reading a new page internally and depending on the way the WAL
reader facility gets used by plugins, the current implementation of the
WAL reader may finish by reading a block multiple times while it is not
actually necessary as the requested data length may be equal to what has
been already read. This can happen for any size, but is more likely to
happen at the end of a page. This can cause performance penalties in
plugins which rely on the block reads to be purely sequential, zlib not

Although this might be thought a feature addition, it's really a bug

larger discussion around the definition of immutable versus stable and
related implications for marking functions parallel safe raised by

it could possibly change output even for the same minor version with

Historically we've always materialized the full output of a CTE query,
treating WITH as an optimization fence (so that, for example, restrictions
from the outer query cannot be pushed into it). This is appropriate when
the CTE query is INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE, or is recursive; but when the CTE
query is non-recursive and side-effect-free, there's no hazard of changing
the query results by pushing restrictions down.
Another argument for materialization is that it can avoid duplicate
computation of an expensive WITH query --- but that only applies if
the WITH query is called more than once in the outer query. Even then
it could still be a net loss, if each call has restrictions that
would allow just a small part of the WITH query to be computed.
Hence, let's change the behavior for WITH queries that are non-recursive
and side-effect-free. By default, we will inline them into the outer
query (removing the optimization fence) if they are called just once.
If they are called more than once, we will keep the old behavior by
default, but the user can override this and force inlining by specifying
NOT MATERIALIZED. Lastly, the user can force the old behavior by
specifying MATERIALIZED; this would mainly be useful when the query had
deliberately been employing WITH as an optimization fence to prevent a
poor choice of plan.

Test for the compiler builtins __builtin_clz, __builtin_ctz, and
__builtin_popcount, and make use of these in preference to
handwritten C code if they're available. Create src/port
infrastructure for "leftmost one", "rightmost one", and "popcount"
so as to centralize these decisions.
On x86_64, __builtin_popcount generally won't make use of the POPCNT
opcode because that's not universally supported yet. Provide code
that checks CPUID and then calls POPCNT via asm() if available.
This requires indirecting through a function pointer, which is
an annoying amount of overhead for a one-instruction operation,
but it's probably not worth working harder than this for our
current use-cases.
I'm not sure we've found all the existing places that could profit
from this new infrastructure; but we at least touched all the
ones that used copied-and-pasted versions of the bitmapset.c code,
and got rid of multiple copies of the associated constant arrays.
While at it, replace c-compiler.m4's one-per-builtin-function
macros with a single one that can handle all the cases we need
to worry about so far. Also, because I'm paranoid, make those
checks into AC_LINK checks rather than just AC_COMPILE; the
former coding failed to verify that libgcc has support for the
builtin, in cases where it's not inline code.

Deal with silent-underflow errors in float4 for cygwin and mingw by
using our strtof() wrapper; deal with misrounding errors by adding
them to the resultmap. Some slight reorganization of declarations was
done to avoid duplicating material between cygwin.h and win32_port.h.
While here, remove from the resultmap all references to
float8-small-is-zero; inspection of cygwin output suggests it's no
longer required there, and the freebsd/netbsd/openbsd entries should
no longer be necessary (these date back to c. 2000). This commit
doesn't remove the file itself nor the documentation references for
it; that will happen in a subsequent commit if all goes well.

Somebody will have to try harder before submitting this patch again.
I've spent entirely too much time on it already, and the #ifdef maze yet
to be written in order for it to build at all got on my nerves. The
amount of work needed to get a platform-specific performance improvement
that's barely above the noise level is not worth it.
Get rid of deconstruct_indexquals() in favor of just iterating over the
IndexClause list directly. The extra services that that function used to
provide, such as hiding clause commutation and associating the right index
column with each clause, are no longer useful given the new data structure.
I'd originally thought that it'd provide a useful amount of abstraction
by freeing callers from paying attention to the exact clause type of each
indexqual, but that hope proves to have been vain, because few callers can
ignore the semantic differences between different clause types. Indeed,
removing it results in a net code savings, and probably some cycles shaved
by not having to build an extra list-of-structs data structure.
Also, export a few formerly-static support functions, with the goal
of allowing extension AMs to write functionality equivalent to
genericcostestimate() without pointless code duplication.

Split out the configure logic: in the original commit, it was selecting
to use the -mpopcnt compiler switch together with deciding whether to
use the compiler builtin, but those two things are really separate.
Split them out. Also, expose whether the builtin exists to
Makefile.global, so that src/port's Makefile can decide whether to
compile the hw-optimized file.

DSM handle values can be reused as soon as the underlying shared memory
object has been destroyed. That means that for a brief moment we
might have two DSM slots with the same handle. While trying to attach,
if we encounter a slot with refcnt == 1, meaning that it is currently
being destroyed, we should continue our search in case the same handle
exists in another slot.
The race manifested as a rare "dsa_area could not attach to segment"
error, and was more likely in 10 and 11 due to the lack of distinct
seed for random() in parallel workers. It was made very unlikely in
in master by commit 197e4af9, and older releases don't usually create
new DSM segments in background workers so it was also unlikely there.
This fixes the root cause of bug report #15585, in which the error
could also sometimes result in a self-deadlock in the error path.

In commit 1a8d5afb0, I thought it'd be a good idea to define
IndexClause.indexquals as NIL in the most common case where the given
clause (IndexClause.rinfo) is usable exactly as-is. It'd be more
consistent to define the indexquals in that case as being a one-element
list containing IndexClause.rinfo, but I thought saving the palloc
overhead for making such a list would be worthwhile.
In hindsight, that was a great example of "premature optimization is the
root of all evil": it's complicated everyplace that needs to deal with
the indexquals, requiring duplicative code to handle both the simple
case and the not-simple case. I'd initially found that tolerable but
it's getting less so as I mop up some areas that I'd not touched in
1a8d5afb0. In any case, two more pallocs during a planner run are
surely at the noise level (a conclusion confirmed by a bit of
microbenchmarking). So let's change this decision before it becomes
set in stone, and insist that IndexClause.indexquals always be a valid
list of the actual index quals for the clause.

This change localizes the use of pattern_fixed_prefix() and

We were using uint64 function arguments as "long int" arguments to

the upper half of the uint64 was being ignored. Fix by using the "ll"

Also, remove configure tests for __builtin_popcountl() (as well as
"long" variants for ctz and clz): the theory here is that any compiler

this theory to be wrong, we'd have to add tests for

These opcodes have been around in the AMD world since 2007, and 2008 in
