Standardize on "user_name" for a field name in related examples in
ddl.sgml; before we had variously "user_name", "username", and "user".
The last is flat wrong because it conflicts with a reserved word.
Be consistent about entry capitalization in a table in func.sgml.
Fix a typo in pgtrgm.sgml.
Back-patch to 9.6 and 9.5 as relevant.

Some experimentation with an older version of gcc showed that it is able
to determine whether "if (elevel_ >= ERROR)" is compile-time constant
if elevel_ is declared "const", but otherwise not so much. We had
accounted for that in ereport() but were too miserly with braces to
make it so in elog(). I don't know how many currently-interesting
compilers have the same quirk, but in case it will save some code
space, let's make sure that elog() is on the same footing as ereport()
for this purpose.
Back-patch to 9.3 where we introduced pg_unreachable() calls into
elog/ereport.

Commit dd1a3bccc replaced a test on whether a subroutine returned a
null pointer with a test on whether &pointer->backendStatus was null.
This accidentally failed to fail, at least on common compilers, because
backendStatus is the first field in the struct; but it was surely trouble
waiting to happen. Commit f91feba87 then messed things up further,
changing the logic to
local_beentry = pgstat_fetch_stat_local_beentry(curr_backend);
if (!local_beentry)
continue;
beentry = &local_beentry->backendStatus;
if (!beentry)
{
where the second "if" is now dead code, so that the intended behavior of
printing a row with "<backend information not available>" cannot occur.
I suspect this is all moot because pgstat_fetch_stat_local_beentry
will never actually return null in this function's usage, but it's still
very poor coding. Repair back to 9.4 where the original problem was
introduced.

When heap_lock_tuple decides to follow the update chain, it tried to
also lock any version of the tuple that was created by an update that
was subsequently rolled back. This is pointless, since for all intents
and purposes that tuple exists no more; and moreover it causes
misbehavior, as reported independently by Marko Tiikkaja and Marti
Raudsepp: some SELECT FOR UPDATE/SHARE queries may fail to return
the tuples, and assertion-enabled builds crash.
Fix by having heap_lock_updated_tuple test the xmin and return success
immediately if the tuple was created by an aborted transaction.
The condition where tuples become invisible occurs when an updated tuple
chain is followed by heap_lock_updated_tuple, which reports the problem
as HeapTupleSelfUpdated to its caller heap_lock_tuple, which in turn
propagates that code outwards possibly leading the calling code
(ExecLockRows) to believe that the tuple exists no longer.
Backpatch to 9.3. Only on 9.5 and newer this leads to a visible
failure, because of commit 27846f02c176; before that, heap_lock_tuple
skips the whole dance when the tuple is already locked by the same
transaction, because of the ancient HeapTupleSatisfiesUpdate behavior.
Still, the buggy condition may also exist in more convoluted scenarios
involving concurrent transactions, so it seems safer to fix the bug in
the old branches too.

mdtruncate() forgot to FileClose() a segment's mdfd_vfd, when deleting
it. That lead to a fd.c handle to a truncated file being kept open until
backend exit.
The issue appears to have been introduced way back in 1a5c450f3024ac5,
before that the handle was closed inside FileUnlink().
The impact of this bug is limited - only VACUUM and ON COMMIT TRUNCATE
for temporary tables, truncate files in place (i.e. TRUNCATE itself is
not affected), and the relation has to be bigger than 1GB. The
consequences of a leaked fd.c handle aren't severe either.

If the database has a non-default tablespace, we emitted a TABLESPACE
clause in the CREATE DATABASE command emitted by -C, even if
--no-tablespaces was also specified. This seems wrong, and it's
inconsistent with what pg_dumpall does, so change it. Per bug #14315
from Danylo Hlynskyi.
Back-patch to 9.5. The bug is much older, but it'd be a more invasive
change before 9.5 because dumpDatabase() hasn't got an easy way to get
to the outputNoTablespaces flag. Doesn't seem worth the work given
the lack of previous complaints.

Commit b2cbced9e instituted a policy of referring to the timezone database
as the "IANA timezone database" in our user-facing documentation.
Propagate that wording into a couple of places that were still using "zic"
to refer to the database, which is definitely not right (zic is the
compilation tool, not the data).
Back-patch, not because this is very important in itself, but because
we routinely cherry-pick updates to the tznames files and I don't want
to risk future merge failures.

computeLeafRecompressWALData() tried to produce a uint16 WAL log field by
memcpy'ing the first two bytes of an int-sized variable. That accidentally
works on little-endian hardware, but not at all on big-endian. Replay then
thinks it's looking at an ADDITEMS action with zero entries, and reads the
first two bytes of the first TID therein as the next segno/action,
typically leading to "unexpected GIN leaf action" errors during replay.
Even if replay failed to crash, the resulting GIN index page would surely
be incorrect. To fix, just declare the variable as uint16 instead.
Per bug #14295 from Spencer Thomason (much thanks to Spencer for turning
his problem into a self-contained test case). This likely also explains
a previous report of the same symptom from Bernd Helmle.
Back-patch to 9.4 where the problem was introduced (by commit 14d02f0bb).

Previously, we threw an error if a dynamic timezone abbreviation did not
match any abbreviation recorded in the referenced IANA time zone entry.
That seemed like a good consistency check at the time, but it turns out
that a number of the abbreviations in the IANA database are things that
Olson and crew made up out of whole cloth. Their current policy is to
remove such names in favor of using simple numeric offsets. Perhaps
unsurprisingly, a lot of these made-up abbreviations have varied in meaning
over time, which meant that our commit b2cbced9e and later changes made
them into dynamic abbreviations. So with newer IANA database versions
that don't mention these abbreviations at all, we fail, as reported in bug
#14307 from Neil Anderson. It's worse than just a few unused-in-the-wild
abbreviations not working, because the pg_timezone_abbrevs view stops
working altogether (since its underlying function tries to compute the
whole view result in one call).
We considered deleting these abbreviations from our abbreviations list, but
the problem with that is that we can't stay ahead of possible future IANA
changes. Instead, let's leave the abbreviations list alone, and treat any
"orphaned" dynamic abbreviation as just meaning the referenced time zone.
It will behave a bit differently than it used to, in that you can't any
longer override the zone's standard vs. daylight rule by using the "wrong"
abbreviation of a pair, but that's better than failing entirely. (Also,
this solution can be interpreted as adding a small new feature, which is
that any abbreviation a user wants can be defined as referencing a time
zone name.)
Back-patch to all supported branches, since this problem affects all
of them when using tzdata 2016f or newer.

This can't really work because standby_mode expects there to be more
WAL arriving, which there will not ever be because there's no WAL
receiver process to fetch it. Moreover, if standby_mode is on then
hot standby might also be turned on, causing even more strangeness
because that expects read-only sessions to be executing in parallel.
Bernd Helmle reported a case where btree_xlog_delete_get_latestRemovedXid
got confused, but rather than band-aiding individual problems it seems
best to prevent getting anywhere near this state in the first place.

In passing, also fix some omissions of errcodes in other ereport's in

Previously pg_xlogdump failed to dump the contents of the WAL file
if the file starts with the continuation WAL record which spans
more than one pages. Since pg_xlogdump assumed that the continuation
record always fits on a page, it could not find the valid WAL record to
start reading from in that case.
This patch changes pg_xlogdump so that it can handle a continuation
WAL record which crosses a page boundary and find the valid record
to start reading from.
Back-patch to 9.3 where pg_xlogdump was introduced.

HandleParallelMessages leaked memory into the caller's context. Since it's
called from ProcessInterrupts, there is basically zero certainty as to what
CurrentMemoryContext is, which means we could be leaking into long-lived
contexts. Over the processing of many worker messages that would grow to
be a problem. Things could be even worse than just a leak, if we happened
to service the interrupt while ErrorContext is current: elog.c thinks it
can reset that on its own whim, possibly yanking storage out from under
HandleParallelMessages.
Give HandleParallelMessages its own dedicated context instead, which we can
reset during each call to ensure there's no accumulation of wasted memory.

Copy the palloc'd strings into the correct context, ie ErrorContext
not wherever the source ErrorData is. This would be a large bug,
except that it appears that all catchers of thrown errors do either
EmitErrorReport or CopyErrorData before doing anything that would
cause transient memory contexts to be cleaned up. Still, it's wrong
and it will bite somebody someday.
Fix failure to copy cursorpos and internalpos.
Utter the appropriate incantations involving recursion_depth, so that
we'll behave sanely if we get an error inside pstrdup. (In general,
the body of this function ought to act like, eg, errdetail().)

Commit f0c7b789a added a test case in case.sql that creates and then drops
both an '=' operator and the type it's for. Given the right timing, that
can cause a "cache lookup failed for type" failure in concurrent sessions,
which see the '=' operator as a potential match for '=' in a query, but
then the type is gone by the time they inquire into its properties.
It might be nice to make that behavior more robust someday, but as a
back-patchable solution, adjust the new test case so that the operator
is never visible to other sessions. Like the previous commit, back-patch
to all supported branches.

When there is an identifiable REPLICA IDENTITY index on the target table,
heap_update leaks the id_attrs bitmapset. That's not many bytes, but it
adds up over enough rows, since the code typically runs in a query-lifespan

ExecReScanAgg's check for whether it could re-use a previously calculated
hashtable neglected the possibility that the Agg node might reference
PARAM_EXEC Params that are not referenced by its input plan node. That's
okay if the Params are in upper tlist or qual expressions; but if one
appears in aggregate input expressions, then the hashtable contents need
to be recomputed when the Param's value changes.
To avoid unnecessary performance degradation in the case of a Param that
isn't within an aggregate input, add logic to the planner to determine
which Params are within aggregate inputs. This requires a new field in
struct Agg, but fortunately we never write plans to disk, so this isn't
an initdb-forcing change.

Due to an error in the abbreviated key abort logic, the most recently
processed SortTuple could be incorrectly marked NULL, resulting in an
incorrect final sort order.
In the worst case, this could result in a corrupt btree index, which
would need to be rebuild using REINDEX. However, abbrevation doesn't
abort very often, not all data types use it, and only one tuple would
end up in the wrong place, so the practical impact of this mistake may
be somewhat limited.

INSERT .. ON CONFLICT runs a pre-check of the possible conflicting
constraints before performing the actual speculative insertion. In case
the inserted tuple included TOASTed columns the ON CONFLICT condition
would be handled correctly in case the conflict was caught by the
pre-check, but if two transactions entered the speculative insertion
phase at the same time, one would have to re-try, and the code for
aborting a speculative insertion did not handle deleting the
speculatively inserted TOAST datums correctly.
TOAST deletion would fail with "ERROR: attempted to delete invisible
tuple" as we attempted to remove the TOAST tuples using
simple_heap_delete which reasoned that the given tuples should not be
visible to the command that wrote them.
This commit updates the heap_abort_speculative() function which aborts
the conflicting tuple to use itself, via toast_delete, for deleting
associated TOAST datums. Like before, the inserted toast rows are not
marked as being speculative.
This commit also adds a isolationtester spec test, exercising the
relevant code path. Unfortunately 9.5 cannot handle two waiting
sessions, and thus cannot execute this test.

This is somewhat cosmetic, since as long as you know what you are looking
at, "10.0" is a serviceable substitute for "10". But there is a potential
for confusion between version numbers with minor numbers and those without
--- we don't want people asking "why is psql saying 10.0 when my server is
10.2". Therefore, back-patch as far as practical, which turns out to be
9.3. I could have redone the patch to use fprintf(stderr) in place of
psql_error(), but it seems more work than is warranted for branches that
will be EOL or nearly so by the time v10 comes out.
Although only psql seems to contain any code that needs this, I chose
to put the support function into fe_utils, since it seems likely we'll
need it in other client programs in future. (In 9.3-9.5, use dumputils.c,
the predecessor of fe_utils/string_utils.c.)
In HEAD, also fix the backend code that whines about loadable-library
version mismatch. I don't see much need to back-patch that.

NUMERIC_MAX_PRECISION is a purely arbitrary constraint on the precision
and scale you can write in a numeric typmod. It might once have had
something to do with the allowed range of a typmod-less numeric value,
but at least since 9.1 we've allowed, and documented that we allowed,
any value that would physically fit in the numeric storage format;
which is something over 100000 decimal digits, not 1000.
Hence, get rid of numeric_in()'s use of NUMERIC_MAX_PRECISION as a limit
on the allowed range of the exponent in scientific-format input. That was
especially silly in view of the fact that you can enter larger numbers as
long as you don't use 'e' to do it. Just constrain the value enough to
avoid localized overflow, and let make_result be the final arbiter of what
is too large. Likewise adjust ecpg's equivalent of this code.
Also get rid of numeric_recv()'s use of NUMERIC_MAX_PRECISION to limit the
number of base-NBASE digits it would accept. That created a dump/restore
hazard for binary COPY without doing anything useful; the wire-format
limit on number of digits (65535) is about as tight as we would want.
In HEAD, also get rid of pg_size_bytes()'s unnecessary intimacy with what
the numeric range limit is. That code doesn't exist in the back branches.
Per gripe from Aravind Kumar. Back-patch to all supported branches,
since they all contain the documentation claim about allowed range of
NUMERIC (cf commit cabf5d84b).

EXPLAIN (ANALYZE, TIMING OFF) would print an elapsed time of zero for
a trigger function, because no measurement has been taken but it printed
the field anyway. This isn't what EXPLAIN does elsewhere, so suppress it.
In the same vein, EXPLAIN (ANALYZE, BUFFERS) with non-text output format
would print buffer I/O timing numbers even when no measurement has been
taken because track_io_timing is off. That seems not per policy, either,
so change it.

Previous contents of adminpack.sgml were rather far short of project norms.
Not to mention being outright wrong about the signature of pg_file_read().

Several places in NUM_numpart_from_char(), which is called from the SQL
function to_number(text, text), could accidentally read one byte past
the end of the input buffer (which comes from the input text datum and
is not null-terminated).
1. One leading space character would be skipped, but there was no check
that the input was at least one byte long. This does not happen in
practice, but for defensiveness, add a check anyway.
2. Commit 4a3a1e2cf apparently accidentally doubled that code that skips
one space character (so that two spaces might be skipped), but there
was no overflow check before skipping the second byte. Fix by
removing that duplicate code.
3. A logic error would allow a one-byte over-read when looking for a
trailing sign (S) placeholder.
In each case, the extra byte cannot be read out directly, but looking at
it might cause a crash.
The third item was discovered by Piotr Stefaniak, the first two were
found and analyzed by Tom Lane and Peter Eisentraut.

ExecEvalCase() tried to save a cycle or two by passing
&econtext->caseValue_isNull as the isNull argument to its sub-evaluation of
the CASE value expression. If that subexpression itself contained a CASE,
then *isNull was an alias for econtext->caseValue_isNull within the
recursive call of ExecEvalCase(), leading to confusion about whether the
inner call's caseValue was null or not. In the worst case this could lead
to a core dump due to dereferencing a null pointer. Fix by not assigning
to the global variable until control comes back from the subexpression.
Also, avoid using the passed-in isNull pointer transiently for evaluation
of WHEN expressions. (Either one of these changes would have been
sufficient to fix the known misbehavior, but it's clear now that each of
these choices was in itself dangerous coding practice and best avoided.
There do not seem to be any similar hazards elsewhere in execQual.c.)
Also, it was possible for inlining of a SQL function that implements the
equality operator used for a CASE comparison to result in one CASE
expression's CaseTestExpr node being inserted inside another CASE
expression. This would certainly result in wrong answers since the
improperly nested CaseTestExpr would be caused to return the inner CASE's
comparison value not the outer's. If the CASE values were of different
data types, a crash might result; moreover such situations could be abused
to allow disclosure of portions of server memory. To fix, teach
inline_function to check for "bare" CaseTestExpr nodes in the arguments of
a function to be inlined, and avoid inlining if there are any.

Due to simplistic quoting and confusion of database names with conninfo
strings, roles with the CREATEDB or CREATEROLE option could escalate to
superuser privileges when a superuser next ran certain maintenance
commands. The new coding rule for PQconnectdbParams() calls, documented
at conninfo_array_parse(), is to pass expand_dbname=true and wrap
literal database names in a trivial connection string. Escape
zero-length values in appendConnStrVal(). Back-patch to 9.1 (all
supported versions).

Rename these newly-extern functions with terms more typical of their new
neighbors. No functional changes; a subsequent commit will use them in
more places. Back-patch to 9.1 (all supported versions). Back branches
lack src/fe_utils, so instead rename the functions in place; the
subsequent commit will copy them into the other programs using them.

The incorrect quoting may have permitted arbitrary command execution.
At a minimum, it gave broader control over the command line to actors
supposed to have control over a single argument. Back-patch to 9.1 (all
supported versions).

These characters prematurely terminate Windows shell command processing,
causing the shell to execute a prefix of the intended command. The
chief alternative to rejecting these characters was to bypass the
Windows shell with CreateProcess(), but the ability to use such names
has little value. Back-patch to 9.1 (all supported versions).
This change formally revokes support for these characters in database
names and roles names. Don't document this; the error message is
self-explanatory, and too few users would benefit. A future major
release may forbid creation of databases and roles so named. For now,
check only at known weak points in pg_dumpall. Future commits will,
without notice, reject affected names from other frontend programs.
Also extend the restriction to pg_dumpall --dbname=CONNSTR arguments and
--file arguments. Unlike the effects on role name arguments and
database names, this does not reflect a broad policy change. A
migration to CreateProcess() could lift these two restrictions.
