getObjectDescription and getObjectIdentity failed to schema-qualify
the name of the published table, which is bad in getObjectDescription and
unforgivable in getObjectIdentity. Actually, getObjectIdentity failed to
emit the table's name at all unless "objname" output is requested, which
accidentally works for some (all?) extant callers but is clearly not the
intended API. Somebody had also not gotten the memo that the output of
getObjectIdentity is not to be translated.
To fix getObjectDescription, I made it call getRelationDescription, which
required refactoring the translatable string for the case, but is more
future-proof in case we ever publish relations that aren't plain tables.
While at it, I made the English output look like "publication of table X
in publication Y"; the added "of" seems to me to make it read much better.
Back-patch to v10 where publications were introduced.

Collations, conversions, extended statistics objects (in >= v10),
and all four types of text search objects have schema-qualified names.
getObjectDescription() ignored that and would emit just the base name of
the object, potentially producing wrong or at least highly misleading
output. Fix it to add the schema name whenever the object is not "visible"
in the current search path, as is the rule for other schema-qualifiable
object types.
Although in common situations the output won't change, this seems to me
(tgl) to be a bug worthy of back-patching, hence do so.

If echo = false, simple_prompt() is supposed to prevent echoing the
input (for password input). However, the Windows implementation applied
the mode change to STD_INPUT_HANDLE. That would not have the desired
effect if stdin isn't actually the terminal, for instance if the user
is piping something into psql. Fix it to apply the mode change to
the correct input file, so that passwords do not echo in such cases.
In passing, shorten and de-uglify this code by using #elif rather than
an #if nest and removing some duplicated code.

Because the code for the HEADER option skips a line when this counter
is zero, a very long COPY FROM WITH HEADER operation would drop a line
every 2^32 lines. A lesser but still unfortunate problem is that errors
would show a wrong input line number for errors occurring beyond the
2^31'st input line. While such large input streams seemed impractical
when this code was first written, they're not any more. Widening the
counter (and some associated variables) to uint64 should be enough to
prevent problems for the foreseeable future.

OFFSET <x> ROWS FETCH FIRST <y> ROWS ONLY syntax is supposed to accept

Rectify that by making <x> and <y> accept the same thing, and allowing

This is the converse of the unsafe-usage-of-%m problem: the reason
ereport/elog provide that format code is mainly to dodge the hazard
of errno getting changed before control reaches functions within the
arguments of the macro. I only found one instance of this hazard,
but it's been there since 9.4 :-(.
The "l" (ell) width spec means something in the corresponding scanf usage,
but not here. While modern POSIX says that applying "l" to "f" and other
floating format specs is a no-op, SUSv2 says it's undefined. Buildfarm
experience says that some old compilers emit warnings about it, and at
least one old stdio implementation (mingw's "ANSI" option) actually
produces wrong answers and/or crashes.

Ancient HPUX, for one, does this. We hadn't noticed due to the lack
of regression tests that required a working strtoll.

But I refrained.)

Buildfarm member dromedary is still unhappy about the recently-added
ecpg "long long" tests. The reason turns out to be that it includes
"-ansi" in its CFLAGS, and in their infinite wisdom Apple have decided
to hide the declarations of strtoll/strtoull in C89-compliant builds.
(I find it pretty curious that they hide those function declarations
when you can nonetheless declare a "long long" variable, but anyway
that is their behavior, both on dromedary's obsolete macOS version and
the newest and shiniest.) As a result, gcc assumes these functions
return "int", leading naturally to wrong results.
(Looking at dromedary's past build results, it's evident that this
problem also breaks pg_strtouint64() on 32-bit platforms; but we
evidently have no regression tests that exercise that function with
values above 32 bits.)
To fix, supply declarations for these functions when the platform
provides the functions but not the declarations, using the same type
of mechanism as we use for some other similar cases.

This will only actually exercise the "long long" code paths on platforms
where "long" is 32 bits --- otherwise, the SQL bigint type maps to
plain "long", and we will test that code path instead. But that's
probably sufficient coverage, and anyway we weren't testing either
code path before.

The description of the index property backward_scan was incorrect and
misleading; rectify.
Backpatch to 9.6 where the amutils functionality was introduced.
canonicalize_ec_expression() is supposed to agree with coerce_type() as to
whether a RelabelType should be inserted to make a subexpression be valid
input for the operators of a given opclass. However, it did the wrong
thing with named-composite-type inputs to record_eq(): it put in a
RelabelType to RECORDOID, which the parser doesn't. In some cases this was
harmless because all code paths involving a particular equivalence class
did the same thing, but in other cases this would result in failing to
recognize a composite-type expression as being a member of an equivalence
class that it actually is a member of. The most obvious bad effect was to
fail to recognize that an index on a composite column could provide the
sort order needed for a mergejoin on that column, as reported by Teodor
Sigaev. I think there might be other, subtler, cases that result in
misoptimization. It also seems possible that an unwanted RelabelType
would sometimes get into an emitted plan --- but because record_eq and
friends don't examine the declared type of their input expressions, that
would not create any visible problems.
To fix, just treat RECORDOID as if it were a polymorphic type, which in
some sense it is. We might want to consider formalizing that a bit more
someday, but for the moment this seems to be the only place where an
IsPolymorphicType() test ought to include RECORDOID as well.
This has been broken for a long time, so back-patch to all supported
branches.

The impact of VARIADIC on the combine/serialize/deserialize support
functions of an aggregate wasn't thought through carefully. There is
actually no impact, because variadicity isn't passed through to these
functions (and it doesn't seem like it would need to be). However,
lookup_agg_function was mistakenly told to check things as though it were
passed through. The net result was that it was impossible to declare an
aggregate that had both VARIADIC input and parallelism support functions.
In passing, fix a runtime check in nodeAgg.c for the combine function's
strictness to make its error message agree with the creation-time check.
The previous message was actually backwards, and it doesn't seem like
there's a good reason to have two versions of this message text anyway.

DST law changes in North Korea. Redefinition of "daylight savings" in
Ireland, as well as for some past years in Namibia and Czechoslovakia.
Additional historical corrections for Czechoslovakia.
With this change, the IANA database models Irish timekeeping as following
"standard time" in summer, and "daylight savings" in winter, so that the
daylight savings offset is one hour behind standard time not one hour
ahead. This does not change their UTC offset (+1:00 in summer, 0:00 in
winter) nor their timezone abbreviations (IST in summer, GMT in winter),
though now "IST" is more correctly read as "Irish Standard Time" not "Irish
Summer Time". However, the "is_dst" column in the pg_timezone_names view
will now be true in winter and false in summer for the Europe/Dublin zone.
Similar changes were made for Namibia between 1994 and 2017, and for
Czechoslovakia between 1946 and 1947.
So far as I can find, no Postgres internal logic cares about which way
tm_isdst is reported; in particular, since commit b2cbced9e we do not
rely on it to decide how to interpret ambiguous timestamps during DST
transitions. So I don't think this change will affect any Postgres
behavior other than the timezone-view outputs.

The regexes used in 102_vacuumdb_stages.pl to check the postmaster log
for expected output contained several places with ".*.*", which is
underdetermined and can cause exponential runtime growth in Perl's regex
matcher (since it's not bright enough not to waste time seeing whether
different splits of the same substring would allow a match). We were
fortunate that the amount of text in the postmaster log was generally not
enough to make the runtime go to the moon; although commit 6271fceb8 had
been on the hairy edge of an obvious problem, thanks to its increasing the
default log verbosity to DEBUG1. Experimentation shows that anyone who
tried to run this test case with an even higher log verbosity would have
been in for serious pain. But even at default logging level, fixing this
saves several hundred ms on my workstation, more on slower buildfarm
members.

The set of functions that need parallel-safety adjustments isn't the
same in 9.6 as 10, so I shouldn't have blindly back-patched that list.
Adjust as needed. Also, provide examples of the commands to issue.
In 9.6, we moved a number of functions over to using the GRANT system to
control access instead of having hard-coded superuser checks.
As it turns out, adminpack was creating another function in the catalog
for one of those backend functions where the superuser check was
removed, specifically pg_rotate_logfile(), but it didn't get the memo
about having to REVOKE EXECUTE on the alternative-name function
(pg_logfile_rotate()), meaning that in any installations with adminpack
on 9.6 and higher, any user is able to run the pg_logfile_rotate()
function, which then calls pg_rotate_logfile() and rotates the logfile.
Fix by adding a new version of adminpack (1.1) which handles the REVOKE.
As this function should have only been available to the superuser, this
is a security issue, albeit a minor one.

Python 3.7 removes the trailing comma in the repr() of
BaseException (see <https://bugs.python.org/issue30399>), leading to
test output differences. Work around that by composing the equivalent
test output in a more manual way.
If a continuation record is split so that its first half has already been
removed from the master, and is only present in pg_wal, and there is a
recycled WAL segment in the standby server that looks like it would
contain the second half, recovery would get stuck. The code in
XLogPageRead() incorrectly started streaming at the beginning of the
WAL record, even if we had already read the first page.
Backpatch to 9.4. In principle, older versions have the same problem, but
without replication slots, there was no straightforward mechanism to
prevent the master from recycling old WAL that was still needed by standby.
Without such a mechanism, I think it's reasonable to assume that there's
enough slack in how many old segments are kept around to not run into this,
or you have a WAL archive.

Dan Wood diagnosed a long-standing problem that pages containing tuples
that are locked by multixacts containing live lockers may spuriously end
up as candidates for getting their all-visible flag set. This has the
long-term effect that multixacts remain unfrozen; this may previously
pass undetected, but since commit XYZ it would be reported as
"ERROR: found multixact 134100944 from before relminmxid 192042633"
because when a later vacuum tries to freeze the page it detects that a
multixact that should have gotten frozen, wasn't.
Dan proposed a (correct) patch that simply sets a variable to its
correct value, after a bogus initialization. But, per discussion, it
seems better coding to avoid the bogus initializations altogether, since
they could give rise to more bugs later. Therefore this fix rewrites
the logic a little bit to avoid depending on the bogus initializations.
This bug was part of a family introduced in 9.6 by commit a892234f830e;
later, commit 38e9f90a22 fixed most of them, but this one was
unnoticed.

statext_dependencies_load and statext_ndistinct_load were not up to snuff,
in addition to being randomly different from each other. In detail:
* Deserialize the fetched bytea value before releasing the syscache
entry, not after. This mistake causes visible regression test failures
when running with -DCATCACHE_FORCE_RELEASE. Since it's not exposed by
-DCLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS, I think there may be no production hazard here
at present, but it's at least a latent bug.
* Use DatumGetByteaPP not DatumGetByteaP to save a detoasting cycle
for short stats values; the deserialize function has to be, and is,
prepared for short-header values since its other caller uses PP.
* Use a test-and-elog for null stats values in both functions, rather
than a test-and-elog in one case and an Assert in the other. Perhaps
Asserts would be sufficient in both cases, but I don't see a good
argument for them being different.

While looking at a recent buildfarm failure in the ecpg tests, I wondered
why the pg_regress output claimed the stderr part of the test failed, when
the regression diffs were clearly for the stdout part. Looking into it,
the reason is that pg_regress.c's logic for iterating over three parallel
lists is wrong, and has been wrong since it was written: it advances the
"tag" pointer at a different place in the loop than the other two pointers.
Fix that.
Buildfarm results show that the modern POSIX rule that 1 ^ NaN = 1 is not
honored on *BSD until relatively recently, and really old platforms don't
believe that NaN ^ 0 = 1 either. (This is unsurprising, perhaps, since
SUSv2 doesn't require either behavior.) In hopes of getting to platform
independent behavior, let's deal with all the NaN-input cases explicitly
in dpow().
Note that numeric_power() doesn't know either of these special cases.
But since that behavior is platform-independent, I think it should be
addressed separately, and probably not back-patched.

Previously, you could partition by a boolean column as long as you
spelled the bound values as string literals, for instance FOR VALUES
IN ('t'). The trouble with this is that ruleutils.c printed that as
FOR VALUES IN (TRUE), which is reasonable syntax but wasn't accepted by
the grammar. That results in dump-and-reload failures for such cases.
Apply a minimal fix that just causes TRUE and FALSE to be converted to
strings 'true' and 'false'. This is pretty grotty, but it's too late for

On further reflection, commit e5d83995e didn't go far enough: pretty much
everywhere in the planner that examines a clause's is_pushed_down flag
ought to be changed to use the more complicated behavior where we also
check the clause's required_relids. Otherwise we could make incorrect
decisions about whether, say, a clause is safe to use as a hash clause.
Some (many?) of these places are safe as-is, either because they are
never reached while considering a parameterized path, or because there
are additional checks that would reject a pushed-down clause anyway.
However, it seems smarter to just code them all the same way rather
than rely on easily-broken reasoning of that sort.
In support of that, invent a new macro RINFO_IS_PUSHED_DOWN that should
be used in place of direct tests on the is_pushed_down flag.

In some cases a clause attached to an outer join can be pushed down into
the outer join's RHS even though the clause is not degenerate --- this
can happen if we choose to make a parameterized path for the RHS. If
the clause ends up attached to a lower outer join, we'd misclassify it
as being a "join filter" not a plain "filter" condition at that node,
leading to wrong query results.
To fix, teach extract_actual_join_clauses to examine each join clause's
required_relids, not just its is_pushed_down flag. (The latter now
seems vestigial, or at least in need of rethinking, but we won't do
anything so invasive as redefining it in a bug-fix patch.)
This has been wrong since we introduced parameterized paths in 9.2,
though it's evidently hard to hit given the lack of previous reports.
The test case used here involves a lateral function call, and I think
that a lateral reference may be required to get the planner to select
a broken plan; though I wouldn't swear to that. In any case, even if
LATERAL is needed to trigger the bug, it still affects all supported
branches, so back-patch to all.
