Queries such as '!(foo<->bar)' failed to find matching rows when
implemented as a GiST or GIN index search. That's because of
failing to handle phrase searches as tri-valued when considering
a query without any position information for the target tsvector.
We can only say that the phrase operator might match, not that it
does match; and therefore its NOT also might match. The previous
coding incorrectly inverted the approximate phrase result to
decide that there was certainly no match.
To fix, we need to make TS_phrase_execute return a real ternary result,
and then bubble that up accurately in TS_execute. As long as we have
to do that anyway, we can simplify the baroque things TS_phrase_execute
was doing internally to manage tri-valued searching with only a bool
as explicit result.
For now, I left the externally-visible result of TS_execute as a plain
bool. There do not appear to be any outside callers that need to
distinguish a three-way result, given that they passed in a flag
saying what to do in the absence of position data. This might need
to change someday, but we wouldn't want to back-patch such a change.
Although tsginidx.c has its own TS_execute_ternary implementation for
use at upper index levels, that sadly managed to get this case wrong
as well :-(. Fixing it is a lot easier fortunately.

Avoid accessing the leaf page's top parent tuple without a buffer lock
held during the second phase of nbtree page deletion. The old approach
was safe, though only because VACUUM never drops its buffer pin (and
because only VACUUM itself can modify a half-dead page). Even still, it
seems like a good idea to be strict here. Tighten things up by copying
the top parent page's block number to a local variable before releasing
the buffer lock on the leaf page -- not after.
This is a follow-up to commit fa7ff642, which fixed a similar issue in

Avoid accessing the deletion target page's special area during nbtree
page deletion at a point where there is no buffer lock held. This issue
was detected by a patch that extends Valgrind's memcheck tool to mark
nbtree pages that are unsafe to access (due to not having a buffer lock
or buffer pin) as NOACCESS.
We do hold a buffer pin at this point, and only access the special area,
so the old approach was safe. Even still, it seems like a good idea to
tighten up the rules in this area. There is no reason to not simply
insist on always holding a buffer lock (not just a pin) when accessing
nbtree pages.

CreateRole() was passing a Value node, not a RoleSpec node, for the
newly-created role name when adding the role as a member of existing
roles for the IN ROLE syntax.
This mistake went unnoticed because the node in question is used only
for error messages and is not accessed on non-error paths.
In older pg versions (such as 9.5 where this was found), this results
in an "unexpected node type" error in place of the real error. That
node type check was removed at some point, after which the code would
accidentally fail to fail on 64-bit platforms (on which accessing the
Value node as if it were a RoleSpec would be mostly harmless) or give
an "unexpected role type" error on 32-bit platforms.

This includes the usual amount of editorial cleanup, such as
correcting wrong or less-helpful-than-they-could-be examples.
I moved the two tsvector-updating triggers into "9.28 Trigger
Functions", which seems like a better home for them. (I believe
that section didn't exist when this text was originally written.)
Commit 32ff26911 introduced use of rank() into the triggers view to
calculate the spec-mandated action_order column. As written, this
prevents query constraints on the table-name column from being pushed
below the window aggregate step. That's bad for performance of this
typical usage pattern, since the view now has to be evaluated for all
tables not just the one(s) the user wants to see. It's also the cause
of some recent buildfarm failures, in which trying to evaluate the view
rows for triggers in process of being dropped resulted in "cache lookup
failed for function NNN" errors. Those rows aren't of interest to the
test script doing the query, but the filter that would eliminate them
is being applied too late. None of this happened before the rank()
call was there, so it's a regression compared to v10 and before.
We can improve matters by changing the rank() call so that instead of
partitioning by OIDs, it partitions by nspname and relname, casting
those to sql_identifier so that they match the respective view output
columns exactly. The planner has enough intelligence to know that
constraints on partitioning columns are safe to push down, so this
eliminates the performance problem and the regression test failure
risk. We could make the other partitioning columns match view outputs
as well, but it'd be more complicated and the performance benefits
are questionable.
Side note: as this stands, the planner will push down constraints on
event_object_table and trigger_schema, but not on event_object_schema,
because it checks for ressortgroupref matches not expression
equivalence. That might be worth improving someday, but it's not
necessary to fix the immediate concern.
Back-patch to v11 where the rank() call was added. Ordinarily we'd not
change information_schema in released branches, but the test failure has
been seen in v12 and presumably could happen in v11 as well, so we need
to do this to keep the buildfarm happy. The change is harmless so far
as users are concerned. Some might wish to apply it to existing
installations if performance of this type of query is of concern,
but those who don't are no worse off.
I bumped catversion in HEAD as a pro forma matter (there's no
catalog incompatibility that would really require a re-initdb).
Obviously that can't be done in the back branches.

78ea8b5 has fixed an issue related to the recycling of WAL segments on
standbys depending on archive_mode. However, it has introduced a
regression with the handling of WAL segments ready to be archived during
crash recovery, causing those files to be recycled without getting
archived.
This commit fixes the regression by tracking in shared memory if a live
cluster is either in crash recovery or archive recovery as the handling
of WAL segments ready to be archived is different in both cases (those
WAL segments should not be removed during crash recovery), and by using
this new shared memory state to decide if a segment can be recycled or
not. Previously, it was not possible to know if a cluster was in crash
recovery or archive recovery as the shared state was able to track only
if recovery was happening or not, leading to the problem.
A set of TAP tests is added to close the gap here, making sure that WAL
segments ready to be archived are correctly handled when a cluster is in
archive or crash recovery with archive_mode set to "on" or "always", for
both standby and primary.

In a9c35cf85c I changed ExecMakeTableFunctionResult() to dynamically
allocate the FunctionCallInfo used to call the SRF. Unfortunately I
did not account for the fact that the surrounding memory context has
query lifetime, leading to a leak till the end of the query.
In most cases the leak is fairly inconsequential, but if the
FunctionScan is done many times in the query, the leak can add
up. This happens e.g. if the function scan is on the inner side of a
nested loop, due to a lateral join.
EXPLAIN SELECT sum(f) FROM generate_series(1, 100000000) g(i), generate_series(i, i+1) f;
quickly shows the leak.
Instead of explicitly freeing the FunctionCallInfo it seems better to
make sure all the per-set temporary state in
ExecMakeTableFunctionResult() is cleaned up wholesale. Currently
that's probably just the FunctionCallInfo allocation, but since
there's some initialization work, and since there's already an
appropriate context, this seems like a more robust approach.

index.c supposed that it could just use a PG_TRY block to clean up the
state associated with an active REINDEX operation. However, that code
doesn't run if we do a FATAL exit --- for example, due to a SIGTERM
shutdown signal --- while the REINDEX is happening. And that state does
get consulted during catalog accesses, which makes it problematic if we
do any catalog accesses during shutdown --- for example, to clean up any
temp tables created in the session.
If this combination of circumstances occurred, we could find ourselves
trying to access already-freed memory. In debug builds that'd fairly
reliably cause an assertion failure. In production we might often
get away with it, but with some bad luck it could cause a core dump.
Another possible bad outcome is an erroneous conclusion that an
index-to-be-accessed is being reindexed; but it looks like that would
be unlikely to have any consequences worse than failing to drop temp
tables right away. (They'd still get dropped by the next session that
uses that temp schema.)
To fix, get rid of the use of PG_TRY here, and instead hook into
the transaction abort mechanisms to clean up reindex state.

Working on commit 1c455078b led me to check through FunctionCallInvoke
call sites to see if every one was being honest about (a) making sure
that fcinfo.isnull is initially false, and (b) checking its state after
the call. Sure enough, I found some violations.
The main one is that finalize_partialaggregate re-used serialfn_fcinfo
without resetting isnull, even though it clearly intends to cater for
serialfns that return NULL. There would only be an issue with a
non-strict serialfn, since it's unlikely that a serialfn would return
NULL for non-null input. We have no non-strict serialfns in core, and
there may be none in the wild either, which would account for the lack
of complaints. Still, it's clearly wrong, so back-patch that fix to
9.6 where finalize_partialaggregate was introduced.
Also, arrayfuncs.c and rowtypes.c contained various callers that were
not bothering to check for result nulls. While what's being called is
a comparison or hash function that probably *shouldn't* return null,
that's a lousy excuse for not having any check at all. There are
existing places that just Assert(!fcinfo->isnull) in comparable
situations, so I added that to the places that were calling btree
comparison or hash support functions. In the places calling
boolean-returning equality functions, it's quite cheap to have them
treat isnull as FALSE, so make those places do that. Also remove some
"locfcinfo->isnull = false" assignments that are unnecessary given the
assumption that no previous call returned null. These changes seem like
mostly neatnik-ism or debugging support, so I didn't back-patch.
When a partition is detached, any triggers that had been cloned from its
parent were not properly disentangled from its parent triggers.
This resulted in triggers that could not be dropped because they
depended on the trigger in the trigger in the no-longer-parent table:
ALTER TABLE t DETACH PARTITION t1;
DROP TRIGGER trig ON t1;
ERROR: cannot drop trigger trig on table t1 because trigger trig on table t requires it
HINT: You can drop trigger trig on table t instead.
Moreover the table can no longer be re-attached to its parent, because
the trigger name is already taken:
ALTER TABLE t ATTACH PARTITION t1 FOR VALUES FROM (1)TO(2);
ERROR: trigger "trig" for relation "t1" already exists
The former is a bug introduced in commit 86f575948c. (The latter is
not necessarily a bug, but it makes the bug more uncomfortable.)
To avoid the complexity that would be needed to tell whether the trigger
has a local definition that has to be merged with the one coming from
the parent table, establish the behavior that the trigger is removed
when the table is detached.
Backpatch to pg11.

Commit 0d861bbb, which introduced deduplication to nbtree, added some
logic to take large posting list tuples into account when choosing a
split point. We subtract firstright posting list overhead from the
projected new high key size when calculating leftfree/rightfree values
for an affected candidate split point. Posting list tuples aren't
special to nbtsplitloc.c, but taking them into account like this makes a
huge difference in practice. Posting list tuples are frequently tuple
size outliers.
However, commit 0d861bbb missed a closely related issue: split interval
itself is calculated based on the assumption that tuples on the page
being split are roughly equisized. That assumption was acceptable back
when commit fab25024 taught the logic for choosing a split point about
suffix truncation, but it's pretty questionable now that very large
tuple sizes are common. This oversight led to unbalanced page splits in
low cardinality multi-column indexes when deduplication was used: page
splits that don't give sufficient weight to how unbalanced the split is
when the interval happens to include some large posting list tuples (and
when most other tuples on the page are not so large).
Nail this down by calculating an initial split interval in a way that's
attuned to the actual cost that we want to keep under control (not a
fuzzy proxy for the cost): apply a leftfree + rightfree evenness test to
each candidate split point that actually gets included in the split
interval (for the default strategy). This replaces logic that used a
percentage of all legal split points for the page as the basis of the
initial split interval.

Although selfuncs.c will never call a target operator with null inputs,
some functions might return null anyway. The existing coding will fail
if that happens (since FunctionCall2Coll will punt), which seems
undesirable given that matchingsel() has such a broad range of potential
applicability --- in fact, we already have a problem because we apply it
to jsonb_path_exists_opr, which can return null. Hence, rejigger the
underlying functions mcv_selectivity and histogram_selectivity to cope,
treating a null result as false.
While we are at it, we can move the InitFunctionCallInfoData overhead
out of the inner loops, which isn't a huge number of cycles but might
save something considering we are likely calling functions as cheap
as int4eq(). Plus, the number of loop cycles to be expected is much
more than it was when this code was written, since typical settings
of default_statistics_target are higher.
In view of that consideration, let's apply the same change to
var_eq_const, eqjoinsel_inner, and eqjoinsel_semi. We do not expect
equality functions to ever return null for non-null inputs (and
certainly that code has been that way a long time without complaints),
but the cycle savings seem attractive, especially in the eqjoinsel loops
where there's potentially an O(N^2) savings.
Similar code exists in ineq_histogram_selectivity and
get_variable_range, but I forebore from changing those for now.
The performance argument for changing ineq_histogram_selectivity
is really weak anyway, since that will only iterate log2(N) times.
