Handle better implicit transaction state of pipeline mode
When using a pipeline, a transaction starts from the first command and
is committed with a Sync message or when the pipeline ends.
Functions like IsInTransactionBlock() or PreventInTransactionBlock()
were already able to understand a pipeline as being in a transaction
block, but it was not the case of CheckTransactionBlock(). This
function is called for example to generate a WARNING for SET LOCAL,
complaining that it is used outside of a transaction block.
The current state of the code caused multiple problems, like:
- SET LOCAL executed at any stage of a pipeline issued a WARNING, even
if the command was at least second in line where the pipeline is in a
transaction state.
- LOCK TABLE failed when invoked at any step of a pipeline, even if it
should be able to work within a transaction block.
The pipeline protocol assumes that the first command of a pipeline is
not part of a transaction block, and that any follow-up commands is
considered as within a transaction block.
This commit changes the backend so as an implicit transaction block is
started each time the first Execute message of a pipeline has finished
processing, with this implicit transaction block ended once a sync is
processed. The checks based on XACT_FLAGS_PIPELINING in the routines
checking if we are in a transaction block are not necessary: it is
enough to rely on the existing ones.
Some tests are added to pgbench, that can be backpatched down to v17
when \syncpipeline is involved and down to v14 where \startpipeline and
\endpipeline are available. This is unfortunately limited regarding the
error patterns that can be checked, but it provides coverage for various
pipeline combinations to check if these succeed or fail. These tests
are able to capture the case of SET LOCAL's WARNING. The author has
proposed a different feature to improve the coverage by adding similar
meta-commands to psql where error messages could be checked, something
more useful for the cases where commands cannot be used in transaction
blocks, like REINDEX CONCURRENTLY or VACUUM. This is considered as
future work for v18~.

Fix NULLIF()'s handling of read-write expanded objects.
If passed a read-write expanded object pointer, the EEOP_NULLIF

receives a read-write expanded object pointer is fully entitled

NULLIF output. (This problem is likely unobservable with the
equality functions provided in core Postgres, but it's easy to

Update configure probes for CFLAGS needed for ARM CRC instructions.
On ARM platforms where the baseline CPU target lacks CRC instructions,
we need to supply a -march flag to persuade the compiler to compile
such instructions. It turns out that our existing choice of
"-march=armv8-a+crc" has not worked for some time, because recent gcc
will interpret that as selecting software floating point, and then
will spit up if the platform requires hard-float ABI, as most do
nowadays. The end result was to silently fall back to software CRC,
which isn't very desirable since in practice almost all currently
produced ARM chips do have hardware CRC.
We can fix this by using "-march=armv8-a+crc+simd" to enable the
correct ABI choice. (This has no impact on the code actually
generated, since neither of the files we compile with this flag
does any floating-point stuff, let alone SIMD.) Keep the test for
"-march=armv8-a+crc" since that's required for soft-float ABI,
but try that second since most platforms we're likely to build on

Previously we checked "for <stdbool.h> that conforms to C99" using
autoconf's AC_HEADER_STDBOOL macro. We've required C99 since PostgreSQL
12, so the test was redundant, and under C23 it was broken: autoconf
2.69's implementation doesn't understand C23's new empty header (the
macros it's looking for went away, replaced by language keywords).
Later autoconf versions fixed that, but let's just remove the
anachronistic test.
HAVE_STDBOOL_H and HAVE__BOOL will no longer be defined, but they
weren't directly tested in core or likely extensions (except in 11, see
below). PG_USE_STDBOOL (or USE_STDBOOL in 11 and 12) is still defined

Otherwise we define our own bool type and values of size 1, which would
fail to compile under C23 as revealed by the broken test. (We'll
probably clean that dead code up in master, but here we want a minimal

jit: Use -mno-outline-atomics for bitcode on ARM.
If the executable's .o files were produced by a compiler (probably gcc)
not using -moutline-atomics, and the corresponding .bc files were
produced by clang using -moutline-atomics (probably by default), then
the generated bitcode functions would have the target attribute
"+outline-atomics", and could fail at runtime when inlined. If the
target ISA at bitcode generation time was armv8-a (the most conservative
aarch64 target, no LSE), then LLVM IR atomic instructions would generate
calls to functions in libgcc.a or libclang_rt.*.a that switch between
LL/SC and faster LSE instructions depending on a runtime AT_HWCAP check.
Since the corresponding .o files didn't need those functions, they
wouldn't have been included in the executable, and resolution would
fail.
At least Debian and Ubuntu are known to ship gcc and clang compilers
that target armv8-a but differ on the use of outline atomics by default.
Fix, by suppressing the outline atomics attribute in bitcode explicitly.
Inline LL/SC instructions will be generated for atomic operations in
bitcode built for armv8-a. Only configure scripts are adjusted for now,
because the meson build system doesn't generate bitcode yet.
This doesn't seem to be a new phenomenon, so real cases of functions
using atomics that are inlined by JIT must be rare in the wild given how
long it took for a bug report to arrive. The reported case could be
reduced to:

Fix recently-exposed portability issue in regex optimization.
fixempties() counts the number of in-arcs in the regex NFA and then
allocates an array of that many arc pointers. If the NFA contains no
arcs, this amounts to malloc(0) for which some platforms return NULL.
The code mistakenly treats that as indicating out-of-memory. Thus,
we can get a bogus "out of memory" failure for some unsatisfiable
regexes.
This happens only in v15 and earlier, since
bea3d7e38 switched to
using palloc() rather than bare malloc(). And at least of the
platforms in the buildfarm, only AIX seems to return NULL. So the
impact is pretty narrow. But I don't especially want to ship code
that is failing its own regression tests, so let's fix this for
this week's releases.
A quick code survey says that there is only the one place in
src/backend/regex/ that is at risk of doing malloc(0), so we'll just
band-aid that place. A more future-proof fix could be to install a
malloc() wrapper similar to pg_malloc(). But this code seems unlikely
to change much more in the affected branches, so that's probably
overkill.
The only known test case for this involves a complemented character
class in a bracket expression, for example [^\s\S], and we didn't
support that in v13. So it may be that the problem is unreachable
in v13. But I'm not 100% sure of that, so patch v13 too.

Fix a possibility of logical replication slot's restart_lsn going backwards.
Previously LogicalIncreaseRestartDecodingForSlot() accidentally
accepted any LSN as the candidate_lsn and candidate_valid after the
restart_lsn of the replication slot was updated, so it potentially
caused the restart_lsn to move backwards.
A scenario where this could happen in logical replication is: after a
logical replication restart, based on previous candidate_lsn and
candidate_valid values in memory, the restart_lsn advances upon
receiving a subscriber acknowledgment. Then, logical decoding restarts
from an older point, setting candidate_lsn and candidate_valid based
on an old RUNNING_XACTS record. Subsequent subscriber acknowledgments
then update the restart_lsn to an LSN older than the current value.
In the reported case, after WAL files were removed by a checkpoint,
the retreated restart_lsn prevented logical replication from
restarting due to missing WAL segments.
This change essentially modifies the 'if' condition to 'else if'
condition within the function. The previous code had an asymmetry in
this regard compared to LogicalIncreaseXminForSlot(), which does
almost the same thing for different fields.
The WAL removal issue was reported by Hubert Depesz Lubaczewski.

Fix improper interactions between session_authorization and role.
The SQL spec mandates that SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION implies
SET ROLE NONE. We tried to implement that within the lowest-level
functions that manipulate these settings, but that was a bad idea.
In particular, guc.c assumes that it doesn't matter in what order
it applies GUC variable updates, but that was not the case for these
two variables. This problem, compounded by some hackish attempts to
work around it, led to some security-grade issues:
* Rolling back a transaction that had done SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION
would revert to SET ROLE NONE, even if that had not been the previous
state, so that the effective user ID might now be different from what
it had been.
* The same for SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION in a function SET clause.
* If a parallel worker inspected current_setting('role'), it saw
"none" even when it should see something else.
Also, although the parallel worker startup code intended to cope
with the current role's pg_authid row having disappeared, its
implementation of that was incomplete so it would still fail.
Fix by fully separating the miscinit.c functions that assign
session_authorization from those that assign role. To implement the
spec's requirement, teach set_config_option itself to perform "SET
ROLE NONE" when it sets session_authorization. (This is undoubtedly
ugly, but the alternatives seem worse. In particular, there's no way
to do it within assign_session_authorization without incompatible
changes in the API for GUC assign hooks.) Also, improve
ParallelWorkerMain to directly set all the relevant user-ID variables
instead of relying on some of them to get set indirectly. That
allows us to survive not finding the pg_authid row during worker
startup.

If no, switch to plperlu or another approach.
If yes, the application should change the code to stop attempting

one might add it to the start of the affected function or even to

libpq: Bail out during SSL/GSS negotiation errors
This commit changes libpq so that errors reported by the backend during
the protocol negotiation for SSL and GSS are discarded by the client, as
these may include bytes that could be consumed by the client and write
arbitrary bytes to a client's terminal.
A failure with the SSL negotiation now leads to an error immediately
reported, without a retry on any other methods allowed, like a fallback
to a plaintext connection.
A failure with GSS discards the error message received, and we allow a
fallback as it may be possible that the error is caused by a connection
attempt with a pre-11 server, GSS encryption having been introduced in
v12. This was a problem only with v17 and newer versions; older
versions discard the error message already in this case, assuming a
failure caused by a lack of support for GSS encryption.

Improve fix for not entering parallel mode when holding interrupts.
Commit
ac04aa84a put the shutoff for this into the planner, which is
not ideal because it doesn't prevent us from re-using a previously
made parallel plan. Revert the planner change and instead put the
shutoff into InitializeParallelDSM, modeling it on the existing code
there for recovering from failure to allocate a DSM segment.
However, that code path is mostly untested, and testing a bit harder
showed there's at least one bug: ExecHashJoinReInitializeDSM is not
prepared for us to have skipped doing parallel DSM setup. I also
thought the Assert in ReinitializeParallelWorkers is pretty
ill-advised, and replaced it with a silent Min() operation.
The existing test case added by
ac04aa84a serves fine to test this

Check for STATUS_DELETE_PENDING on Windows.
1. Update our open() wrapper to check for NT's STATUS_DELETE_PENDING
and translate it to Unix-like errors. This is done with
RtlGetLastNtStatus(), which is dynamically loaded from ntdll. A new
file win32ntdll.c centralizes lookup of NT functions, in case we decide
to add more in the future.
2. Remove non-working code that was trying to do something similar for
stat(), and just reuse the open() wrapper code. As a side effect,
stat() also gains resilience against "sharing violation" errors.
3. Since stat() is used very early in process startup, remove the
requirement that the Win32 signal event has been created before
pgwin32_open_handle() is reached. Instead, teach pg_usleep() to fall
back to a non-interruptible sleep if reached before the signal event is
available.
This could be back-patched, but for now it's in master only. The
problem has apparently been with us for a long time and generated only a
few complaints. Proposed patches trigger it more often, which led to
this investigation and fix.

load_external_function() and related functions returned PGFunction,
even though not necessarily all callers are looking for a function of
type PGFunction. Since these functions are really just wrappers
around dlsym(), change to return void * just like dlsym().
In dynahash.c, we are using strlcpy() where a function with a
signature like memcpy() is expected. This should be safe, as the new
comment there explains, but the cast needs to be augmented to avoid
the warning.
In PL/Python, methods all need to be cast to PyCFunction, per Python
API, but this now runs afoul of these warnings. (This issue also
exists in core CPython.)
To fix the second and third case, we add a new type pg_funcptr_t that
is defined specifically so that gcc accepts it as a special function
pointer that can be cast to any other function pointer without the
warning.
Also add -Wcast-function-type to the standard warning flags, subject

Fix issues with Windows' stat() for files pending on deletion
The code introduced by
bed9075 to enhance the stat() implementation on
Windows for file sizes larger than 4GB fails to properly detect files
pending for deletion with its method based on NtQueryInformationFile()
or GetFileInformationByHandleEx(), as proved by Alexander Lakhin in a
custom TAP test of his own.
The method used in the implementation of open() to sleep and loop when
when failing on ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED (EACCES) is showing much more
stability, so switch to this method. This could still lead to issues if
the permission problem stays around for much longer than the timeout of
1 second used, but that should (hopefully) never happen in
performance-critical paths. Still, there could be a point in increasing
the timeouts for the sake of machines that handle heavy loads.
Note that WIN32's open() now uses microsoft_native_stat() as it should
be similar to stat() when working around issues with concurrent file
deletions.
I have spent some time testing this patch with pgbench in combination
of the SQL functions from genfile.c, as well as running the TAP test
provided on the thread with MSVC builds, and this looks much more
stable than the previous method.

Monkey-patch LLVM code to fix ARM relocation bug.
Supply a new memory manager for RuntimeDyld, to avoid crashes in
generated code caused by memory placement that can overflow a 32 bit
data type. This is a drop-in replacement for the
llvm::SectionMemoryManager class in the LLVM library, with Michael
Smith's proposed fix from
https://www.github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/71968.
We hereby slurp it into our own source tree, after moving into a new
namespace llvm::backport and making some minor adjustments so that it
can be compiled with older LLVM versions as far back as 12. It's harder
to make it work on even older LLVM versions, but it doesn't seem likely
that people are really using them so that is not investigated for now.
The problem could also be addressed by switching to JITLink instead of
RuntimeDyld, and that is the LLVM project's recommended solution as
the latter is about to be deprecated. We'll have to do that soon enough
anyway, and then when the LLVM version support window advances far
enough in a few years we'll be able to delete this code. Unfortunately
that wouldn't be enough for PostgreSQL today: in most relevant versions
of LLVM, JITLink is missing or incomplete.
Several other projects have already back-ported this fix into their fork
of LLVM, which is a vote of confidence despite the lack of commit into
LLVM as of today. We don't have our own copy of LLVM so we can't do
exactly what they've done; instead we have a copy of the whole patched
class so we can pass an instance of it to RuntimeDyld.
The LLVM project hasn't chosen to commit the fix yet, and even if it
did, it wouldn't be back-ported into the releases of LLVM that most of
our users care about, so there is not much point in waiting any longer
for that. If they make further changes and commit it to LLVM 19 or 20,
we'll still need this for older versions, but we may want to
resynchronize our copy and update some comments.
The changes that we've had to make to our copy can be seen by diffing
our SectionMemoryManager.{h,cpp} files against the ones in the tree of
the pull request. Per the LLVM project's license requirements, a copy
is in SectionMemoryManager.LICENSE.
This should fix the spate of crash reports we've been receiving lately
from users on large memory ARM systems.

Restructure foreign key handling code for ATTACH/DETACH
... to fix bugs when the referenced table is partitioned.
The catalog representation we chose for foreign keys connecting
partitioned tables (in commit
f56f8f8da6af) is inconvenient, in the
sense that a standalone table has a different way to represent the
constraint when referencing a partitioned table, than when the same
table becomes a partition (and vice versa). Because of this, we need to
create additional catalog rows on detach (pg_constraint and pg_trigger),
and remove them on attach. We were doing some of those things, but not
all of them, leading to missing catalog rows in certain cases.
The worst problem seems to be that we are missing action triggers after
detaching a partition, which means that you could update/delete rows
from the referenced partitioned table that still had referencing rows on
that table, the server failing to throw the required errors.
!!!
Note that this means existing databases with FKs that reference
partitioned tables might have rows that break relational integrity, on
tables that were once partitions on the referencing side of the FK.
Another possible problem is that trying to reattach a table
that had been detached would fail indicating that internal triggers
cannot be found, which from the user's point of view is nonsensical.
In branches 15 and above, we fix this by creating a new helper function
addFkConstraint() which is in charge of creating a standalone
pg_constraint row, and repurposing addFkRecurseReferencing() and
addFkRecurseReferenced() so that they're only the recursive routine for
each side of the FK, and they call addFkConstraint() to create
pg_constraint at each partitioning level and add the necessary triggers.
These new routines can be used during partition creation, partition
attach and detach, and foreign key creation. This reduces redundant
code and simplifies the flow.
In branches 14 and 13, we have a much simpler fix that consists on
simply removing the constraint on detach. The reason is that those
branches are missing commit
f4566345cf40, which reworked the way this
works in a way that we didn't consider back-patchable at the time.
We opted to leave branch 12 alone, because it's different from branch 13
enough that the fix doesn't apply; and because it is going in EOL mode
very soon, patching it now might be worse since there's no way to undo
the damage if it goes wrong.
Existing databases might need to be repaired.
In the future we might want to rethink the catalog representation to
avoid this problem, but for now the code seems to do what's required to
make the constraints operate correctly.

Fix extreme skew detection in Parallel Hash Join.
After repartitioning the inner side of a hash join that would have
exceeded the allowed size, we check if all the tuples from a parent
partition moved to one child partition. That is evidence that it
contains duplicate keys and later attempts to repartition will also
fail, so we should give up trying to limit memory (for lack of a better
fallback strategy).
A thinko prevented the check from working correctly in partition 0 (the
one that is partially loaded into memory already). After
repartitioning, we should check for extreme skew if the *parent*
partition's space_exhausted flag was set, not the child partition's.
The consequence was repeated futile repartitioning until per-partition
data exceeded various limits including "ERROR: invalid DSA memory alloc
request size
1811939328", OS allocation failure, or temporary disk space
errors. (We could also do something about some of those symptoms, but
that's material for separate patches.)
This problem only became likely when PostgreSQL 16 introduced support
for Parallel Hash Right/Full Join, allowing NULL keys into the hash
table. Repartitioning always leaves NULL in partition 0, no matter how
many times you do it, because the hash value is all zero bits. That's
unlikely for other hashed values, but they might still have caused
wasted extra effort before giving up.

Further refine _SPI_execute_plan's rule for atomic execution.
Commit
2dc1deaea turns out to have been still a brick shy of a load,
because CALL statements executing within a plpgsql exception block
could still pass the wrong snapshot to stable functions within the
CALL's argument list. That happened because standard_ProcessUtility
forces isAtomicContext to true if IsTransactionBlock is true, which
it always will be inside a subtransaction. Then ExecuteCallStmt
would think it does not need to push a new snapshot --- but
_SPI_execute_plan didn't do so either, since it thought it was in
nonatomic mode.
The best fix for this seems to be for _SPI_execute_plan to operate
in atomic execution mode if IsSubTransaction() is true, even when the
SPI context as a whole is non-atomic. This makes _SPI_execute_plan
have the same rules about when non-atomic execution is allowed as
_SPI_commit/_SPI_rollback have about when COMMIT/ROLLBACK are allowed,
which seems appropriately symmetric. (If anyone ever tries to allow
COMMIT/ROLLBACK inside a subtransaction, this would all need to be
rethought ... but I'm unconvinced that such a thing could be logically
consistent at all.)
For further consistency, also check IsSubTransaction() in
SPI_inside_nonatomic_context. That does not matter for its
one present-day caller StartTransaction, which can't be reached
inside a subtransaction. But if any other callers ever arise,
they'd presumably want this definition.

Reduce memory block size for decoded tuple storage to 8kB.
Commit
a4ccc1cef introduced the Generation Context and modified the
logical decoding process to use a Generation Context with a fixed
block size of 8MB for storing tuple data decoded during logical
decoding (i.e., rb->tup_context). Several reports have indicated that
the logical decoding process can be terminated due to
out-of-memory (OOM) situations caused by excessive memory usage in
rb->tup_context.
This issue can occur when decoding a workload involving several
concurrent transactions, including a long-running transaction that
modifies tuples. By design, the Generation Context does not free a
memory block until all chunks within that block are
released. Consequently, if tuples modified by the long-running
transaction are stored across multiple memory blocks, these blocks
remain allocated until the long-running transaction completes, leading
to substantial memory fragmentation. The memory usage during logical
decoding, tracked by rb->size, does not account for memory
fragmentation, resulting in potentially much higher memory consumption
than the value of the logical_decoding_work_mem parameter.
Various improvement strategies were discussed in the relevant
thread. This change reduces the block size of the Generation Context
used in rb->tup_context from 8MB to 8kB. This modification
significantly decreases the likelihood of substantial memory
fragmentation occurring and is relatively straightforward to
backport. Performance testing across multiple platforms has confirmed
that this change will not introduce any performance degradation that
would impact actual operation.

pg_cursor() supposed that any Portal it finds in the hash table must

Because of that, there was a small window where a second backend doing a

Fix incorrect memory access in VACUUM FULL with invalid toast indexes
An invalid toast index is skipped in reindex_relation(). These would be
remnants of a failed REINDEX CONCURRENTLY and they should never been
rebuilt as there can only be one valid toast index at a time.
REINDEX_REL_SUPPRESS_INDEX_USE, used by CLUSTER and VACUUM FULL, needs
to maintain a list of the indexes being processed. The list of indexes
is retrieved from the relation cache, and includes invalid indexes. The
code has missed that invalid toast indexes are ignored in
reindex_relation() as this leads to a hard failure in reindex_index(),
and they were left in the reindex pending list, making the list
inconsistent when rechecked. The incorrect memory access was happening
when scanning pg_class for the refresh of pg_database.datfrozenxid, when
doing a scan of pg_class.
This issue exists since REINDEX CONCURRENTLY exists, where invalid toast
indexes can exist, so backpatch all the way down.

vacuumdb: Skip temporary tables in query to build list of relations
Running vacuumdb with a non-superuser while another user has created a
temporary table would lead to a mid-flight permission failure,
interrupting the operation. vacuum_rel() skips temporary relations of
other backends, and it makes no sense for vacuumdb to know about these
relations, so let's switch it to ignore temporary relations entirely.
Adding a qual in the query based on relpersistence simplifies the
generation of its WHERE clause in vacuum_one_database(), per se the
removal of "has_where".

For inplace update durability, make heap_update() callers wait.
The previous commit fixed some ways of losing an inplace update. It
remained possible to lose one when a backend working toward a
heap_update() copied a tuple into memory just before inplace update of
that tuple. In catalogs eligible for inplace update, use LOCKTAG_TUPLE
to govern admission to the steps of copying an old tuple, modifying it,
and issuing heap_update(). This includes MERGE commands. To avoid
changing most of the pg_class DDL, don't require LOCKTAG_TUPLE when
holding a relation lock sufficient to exclude inplace updaters.
Back-patch to v12 (all supported versions). In v13 and v12, "UPDATE
pg_class" or "UPDATE pg_database" can still lose an inplace update. The
v14+ UPDATE fix needs commit
86dc90056dfdbd9d1b891718d2e5614e3e432f35,
and it wasn't worth reimplementing that fix without such infrastructure.

Fix data loss at inplace update after heap_update().
As previously-added tests demonstrated, heap_inplace_update() could
instead update an unrelated tuple of the same catalog. It could lose
the update. Losing relhasindex=t was a source of index corruption.
Inplace-updating commands like VACUUM will now wait for heap_update()
commands like GRANT TABLE and GRANT DATABASE. That isn't ideal, but a
long-running GRANT already hurts VACUUM progress more just by keeping an
XID running. The VACUUM will behave like a DELETE or UPDATE waiting for
the uncommitted change.
For implementation details, start at the systable_inplace_update_begin()
header comment and README.tuplock. Back-patch to v12 (all supported
versions). In back branches, retain a deprecated heap_inplace_update(),
for extensions.

Replace usages of xmlXPathCompile() with xmlXPathCtxtCompile().
In existing releases of libxml2, xmlXPathCompile can be driven
to stack overflow because it fails to protect itself against
too-deeply-nested input. While there is an upstream fix as of
yesterday, it will take years for that to propagate into all
shipping versions. In the meantime, we can protect our own
usages basically for free by calling xmlXPathCtxtCompile instead.
(The actual bug is that libxml2 keeps its nesting counter in the
xmlXPathContext, and its parsing code was willing to just skip
counting nesting levels if it didn't have a context. So if we supply
a context, all is well. It seems odd actually that it works at all
to not supply a context, because this means that XPath parsing does
not have access to XML namespace info. Apparently libxml2 never
checks namespaces until runtime? Anyway, this seems like good
future-proofing even if its only immediate effect is to dodge a bug.)
Sadly, this hack only offers protection with libxml2 2.9.11 and newer.
Before that there are multiple similar problems, so if you are
processing untrusted XML it behooves you to get a newer version.
But we have some pretty old libxml2 in the buildfarm, so it seems
impractical to add a regression test to verify this fix.
Per bug #18617 from Jingzhou Fu. Back-patch to all supported
versions.
