Previously, if async notify processing encountered an error, we would
report the error to the client and advance our read position past the
offending entry to prevent trying to process it over and over
again. Trying to continue after an error has a few problems however:

- We have no way of telling the client that a notification was
  lost. They get an ERROR, but that doesn't tell you much. As such,
  it's not clear if keeping the connection alive after losing a
  notification is a good thing. Depending on the application logic,
  missing a notification could cause the application to get stuck
  waiting, for example.

- If the connection is idle, PqCommReadingMsg is set and any ERROR is
  turned into FATAL anyway.

- We bailed out of the notification processing loop on first error
  without processing any subsequent notifications. The subsequent
  notifications would not be processed until another notify interrupt
  arrives. For example, if there were two notifications pending, and
  processing the first one caused an ERROR, the second notification
  would not be processed until someone sent a new NOTIFY.

This commit changes the behavior so that any ERROR while processing
async notifications is turned into FATAL, causing the client
connection to be terminated. That makes the behavior more consistent
as that's what happened in idle state already, and terminating the
connection is a clear signal to the application that it might've
missed some notifications.

The reason to do this now is that the next commits will change the
notification processing code in a way that would make it harder to
skip over just the offending notification entry on error.

(cherry picked from commit 7cb05dd2d1989289b64ef3098f08bdc72b5fba1e)
The async notification queue contains the XID of the sender, and when
processing notifications we call TransactionIdDidCommit() on the
XID. But we had no safeguards to prevent the CLOG segments containing
those XIDs from being truncated away. As a result, if a backend didn't
for some reason process its notifications for a long time, or when a
new backend issued LISTEN, you could get an error like:

test=# listen c21;
ERROR:  58P01: could not access status of transaction 14279685
DETAIL:  Could not open file "pg_xact/000D": No such file or directory.
LOCATION:  SlruReportIOError, slru.c:1087

To fix, make VACUUM "freeze" the XIDs in the async notification queue
before truncating the CLOG. Old XIDs are replaced with
FrozenTransactionId or InvalidTransactionId.

Note: This commit is not a full fix. A race condition remains, where a
backend is executing asyncQueueReadAllNotifications() and has just
made a local copy of an async SLRU page which contains old XIDs, while
vacuum concurrently truncates the CLOG covering those XIDs. When the
backend then calls TransactionIdDidCommit() on those XIDs from the
local copy, you still get the error. The next commit will fix that
remaining race condition.

This was first reported by Sergey Zhuravlev in 2021, with many other
people hitting the same issue later. Thanks to:
- Alexandra Wang, Daniil Davydov, Andrei Varashen and Jacques Combrink
  for investigating and providing reproducable test cases,
- Matheus Alcantara and Arseniy Mukhin for review and earlier proposed
  patches to fix this,
- Álvaro Herrera and Masahiko Sawada for reviews,
- Yura Sokolov aka funny-falcon for the idea of marking transactions
  as committed in the notification queue, and
- Joel Jacobson for the final patch version. I hope I didn't forget
  anyone.

Backpatch to all supported versions. I believe the bug goes back all
the way to commit d1e0272, which introduced the SLRU-based async
notification queue.

Previous commit fixed a bug where VACUUM would truncate the CLOG
that's still needed to check the commit status of XIDs in the async
notify queue, but as mentioned in the commit message, it wasn't a full
fix. If a backend is executing asyncQueueReadAllNotifications() and
has just made a local copy of an async SLRU page which contains old
XIDs, vacuum can concurrently truncate the CLOG covering those XIDs,
and the backend still gets an error when it calls
TransactionIdDidCommit() on those XIDs in the local copy. This commit
fixes that race condition.

To fix, hold the SLRU bank lock across the TransactionIdDidCommit()
calls in NOTIFY processing.

Per Tom Lane's idea. Backpatch to all supported versions.

Before we started to freeze async notify entries (commit 8eeb4a0f7c),
no one looked at the 'xid' on an entry with invalid 'dboid'. But now
we might actually need to freeze it later. Initialize them with
InvalidTransactionId to begin with, to avoid that work later.

On the CREATE POLICY page, the "Policies Applied by Command Type"
table was missing MERGE ... THEN DELETE and some of the policies
applied during INSERT ... ON CONFLICT and MERGE. Fix that, and try to
improve readability by listing the various MERGE cases separately,
rather than together with INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE. Mention COPY ... TO
along with SELECT, since it behaves in the same way. In addition,
document which policy violations cause errors to be thrown, and which
just cause rows to be silently ignored.

Also, a paragraph above the table states that INSERT ... ON CONFLICT
DO UPDATE only checks the WITH CHECK expressions of INSERT policies
for rows appended to the relation by the INSERT path, which is
incorrect -- all rows proposed for insertion are checked, regardless
of whether they end up being inserted. Fix that, and also mention that
the same applies to INSERT ... ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING.

In addition, in various other places on that page, clarify how the
different types of policy are applied to different commands, and
whether or not errors are thrown when policy checks do not pass.

Backpatch to all supported versions. Prior to v17, MERGE did not
support RETURNING, and so MERGE ... THEN INSERT would never check new
rows against SELECT policies. Prior to v15, MERGE was not supported at
all.

(cherry picked from commit 29a3e22f3568478ce0d887c63dc03c2bda9dfa53)
The fix for bug #19055 (commit b0cc0a71e) allowed CTE references in
sub-selects within aggregate functions to affect the semantic levels
assigned to such aggregates.  It turns out this broke some related
cases, leading to assertion failures or strange planner errors such
as "unexpected outer reference in CTE query".  After experimenting
with some alternative rules for assigning the semantic level in
such cases, we've come to the conclusion that changing the level
is more likely to break things than be helpful.

Therefore, this patch undoes what b0cc0a71e changed, and instead
installs logic to throw an error if there is any reference to a
CTE that's below the semantic level that standard SQL rules would
assign to the aggregate based on its contained Var and Aggref nodes.
(The SQL standard disallows sub-selects within aggregate functions,
so it can't reach the troublesome case and hence has no rule for
what to do.)

Perhaps someone will come along with a legitimate query that this
logic rejects, and if so probably the example will help us craft
a level-adjustment rule that works better than what b0cc0a71e did.
I'm not holding my breath for that though, because the previous
logic had been there for a very long time before bug #19055 without
complaints, and that bug report sure looks to have originated from
fuzzing not from real usage.

Like b0cc0a71e, back-patch to all supported branches, though
sadly that no longer includes v13.

Accidentally the code in LWLockWakeup() checked the list of to-be-woken up
processes to see if LW_FLAG_HAS_WAITERS should be unset. That means that
HAS_WAITERS would not get unset immediately, but only during the next,
unnecessary, call to LWLockWakeup().

Luckily, as the code stands, this is just a small efficiency issue.

However, if there were (as in a patch of mine) a case in which LWLockWakeup()
would not find any backend to wake, despite the wait list not being empty,
we'd wrongly unset LW_FLAG_HAS_WAITERS, leading to potentially hanging.

While the consequences in the backbranches are limited, the code as-is
confusing, and it is possible that there are workloads where the additional
wait list lock acquisitions hurt, therefore backpatch.

Normally, if a WHERE clause is implied by the predicate of a partial
index, we drop that clause from the set of quals used with the index,
since it's redundant to test it if we're scanning that index.
However, if it's a hash index (or any !amoptionalkey index), this
could result in dropping all available quals for the index's first
key, preventing us from generating an indexscan.

It's fair to question the practical usefulness of this case.  Since
hash only supports equality quals, the situation could only arise
if the index's predicate is "WHERE indexkey = constant", implying
that the index contains only one hash value, which would make hash
a really poor choice of index type.  However, perhaps there are
other !amoptionalkey index AMs out there with which such cases are
more plausible.

To fix, just don't filter the candidate indexquals this way if
the index is !amoptionalkey.  That's a bit hokey because it may
result in testing quals we didn't need to test, but to do it
more accurately we'd have to redundantly identify which candidate
quals are actually usable with the index, something we don't know
at this early stage of planning.  Doesn't seem worth the effort.

Formerly, when updating an auto-updatable view, or a relation with
rules, if the original query had any data-modifying CTEs, the rewriter
would rewrite those CTEs multiple times as RewriteQuery() recursed
into the product queries. In most cases that was harmless, because
RewriteQuery() is mostly idempotent. However, if the CTE involved
updating an always-generated column, it would trigger an error because
any subsequent rewrite would appear to be attempting to assign a
non-default value to the always-generated column.

This could perhaps be fixed by attempting to make RewriteQuery() fully
idempotent, but that looks quite tricky to achieve, and would probably
be quite fragile, given that more generated-column-type features might
be added in the future.

Instead, fix by arranging for RewriteQuery() to rewrite each CTE
exactly once (by tracking the number of CTEs already rewritten as it
recurses). This has the advantage of being simpler and more efficient,
but it does make RewriteQuery() dependent on the order in which
rewriteRuleAction() joins the CTE lists from the original query and
the rule action, so care must be taken if that is ever changed.

With this commit, the next multixid's offset will always be set on the
offsets page, by the time that a backend might try to read it, so we
no longer need the waiting mechanism with the condition variable. In
other words, this eliminates "corner case 2" mentioned in the
comments.

The waiting mechanism was broken in a few scenarios:

- When nextMulti was advanced without WAL-logging the next
  multixid. For example, if a later multixid was already assigned and
  WAL-logged before the previous one was WAL-logged, and then the
  server crashed. In that case the next offset would never be set in
  the offsets SLRU, and a query trying to read it would get stuck
  waiting for it. Same thing could happen if pg_resetwal was used to
  forcibly advance nextMulti.

- In hot standby mode, a deadlock could happen where one backend waits
  for the next multixid assignment record, but WAL replay is not
  advancing because of a recovery conflict with the waiting backend.

The old TAP test used carefully placed injection points to exercise
the old waiting code, but now that the waiting code is gone, much of
the old test is no longer relevant. Rewrite the test to reproduce the
IPC/MultixactCreation hang after crash recovery instead, and to verify
that previously recorded multixids stay readable.

Backpatch to all supported versions. In back-branches, we still need
to be able to read WAL that was generated before this fix, so in the
back-branches this includes a hack to initialize the next offsets page
when replaying XLOG_MULTIXACT_CREATE_ID for the last multixid on a
page. On 'master', bump XLOG_PAGE_MAGIC instead to indicate that the
WAL is not compatible.

(cherry picked from commit 170361d7b869befdece6c4dfc5ad984d536d520f)
This commit adds an extra check at the beginning of recovery to ensure
that the redo record of a checkpoint exists before attempting WAL
replay, logging a PANIC if the redo record referenced by the checkpoint
record could not be found.  This is the same level of failure as when a
checkpoint record is missing.  This check is added when a cluster is
started without a backup_label, after retrieving its checkpoint record.
The redo LSN used for the check is retrieved from the checkpoint record
successfully read.

In the case where a backup_label exists, the startup process already
fails if the redo record cannot be found after reading a checkpoint
record at the beginning of recovery.

Previously, the presence of the redo record was not checked.  If the
redo and checkpoint records were located on different WAL segments, it
would be possible to miss a entire range of WAL records that should have
been replayed but were just ignored.  The consequences of missing the
redo record depend on the version dealt with, these becoming worse the
older the version used:
- On HEAD, v18 and v17, recovery fails with a pointer dereference at the
beginning of the redo loop, as the redo record is expected but cannot be
found.  These versions are good students, because we detect a failure
before doing anything, even if the failure is misleading in the shape of
a segmentation fault, giving no information that the redo record is
missing.
- In v16 and v15, problems show at the end of recovery within
FinishWalRecovery(), the startup process using a buggy LSN to decide
from where to start writing WAL.  The cluster gets corrupted, still it
is noisy about it.
- v14 and older versions are worse: a cluster gets corrupted but it is
entirely silent about the matter.  The redo record missing causes the
startup process to skip entirely recovery, because a missing record is
the same as not redo being required at all.  This leads to data loss, as
everything is missed between the redo record and the checkpoint record.

Note that I have tested that down to 9.4, reproducing the issue with a
version of the author's reproducer slightly modified.  The code is wrong
since at least 9.2, but I did not look at the exact point of origin.

This problem has been found by debugging a cluster where the WAL segment
including the redo segment was missing due to an operator error, leading
to a crash, based on an investigation in v15.

Requesting archive recovery with the creation of a recovery.signal or
a standby.signal even without a backup_label would mitigate the issue:
if the record cannot be found in pg_wal/, the missing segment can be
retrieved with a restore_command when checking that the redo record
exists.  This was already the case without this commit, where recovery
would re-fetch the WAL segment that includes the redo record.  The check
introduced by this commit makes the segment to be retrieved earlier to
make sure that the redo record can be found.

On HEAD, the code will be slightly changed in a follow-up commit to not
rely on a PANIC, to include a test able to emulate the original problem.
This is a minimal backpatchable fix, kept separated for clarity.

We already do this in CreateParallelContext, InitializeParallelDSM, and
LaunchParallelWorkers. I suspect the reason why the matching logic was
omitted from ReinitializeParallelDSM is that I failed to realize that
any memory allocation was happening here -- but shm_mq_attach does
allocate, which could result in a shm_mq_handle being allocated in a
shorter-lived context than the ParallelContext which points to it.

That could result in a crash if the shorter-lived context is freed
before the parallel context is destroyed. As far as I am currently
aware, there is no way to reach a crash using only code that is
present in core PostgreSQL, but extensions could potentially trip
over this. Fixing this in the back-branches appears low-risk, so
back-patch to all supported versions.

When converting multibyte to pg_wchar, the UTF-8 implementation would
silently ignore an incomplete final character, while the other

was surely garbage output.

Make all encodings behave like the UTF-8 implementation.  A later change

A corrupted string could cause code that iterates with pg_mblen() to
overrun its buffer.  Fix, by converting all callers to one of the
following:

1. Callers with a null-terminated string now use pg_mblen_cstr(), which
raises an "illegal byte sequence" error if it finds a terminator in the
middle of the sequence.

2. Callers with a length or end pointer now use either
pg_mblen_with_len() or pg_mblen_range(), for the same effect, depending
on which of the two seems more convenient at each site.

3. A small number of cases pre-validate a string, and can use
pg_mblen_unbounded().

The traditional pg_mblen() function and COPYCHAR macro still exist for
backward compatibility, but are no longer used by core code and are
hereby deprecated.  The same applies to the t_isXXX() functions.

An upcoming patch requires this cache so that it can track updates
in the pg_extension catalog.  So far though, the EXTENSIONOID cache
only exists in v18 and up (see 490f869d9).  We can add it in older
branches without an ABI break, if we are careful not to disturb the
numbering of existing syscache IDs.

In v16 and before, that just requires adding the new ID at the end
of the hand-assigned enum list, ignoring our convention about
alphabetizing the IDs.  But in v17, genbki.pl enforces alphabetical
order of the IDs listed in MAKE_SYSCACHE macros.  We can fake it
out by calling the new cache ZEXTENSIONOID.

Note that adding a syscache does change the required contents of the
relcache init file (pg_internal.init).  But that isn't problematic
since we blow those away at postmaster start for other reasons.

(cherry picked from commit 9fa38c572a980c751690821877d94d171bd1a545)
Selectivity estimators come in two flavors: those that make specific
assumptions about the data types they are working with, and those
that don't.  Most of the built-in estimators are of the latter kind
and are meant to be safely attachable to any operator.  If the
operator does not behave as the estimator expects, you might get a
poor estimate, but it won't crash.

However, estimators that do make datatype assumptions can malfunction
if they are attached to the wrong operator, since then the data they
get from pg_statistic may not be of the type they expect.  This can
rise to the level of a security problem, even permitting arbitrary
code execution by a user who has the ability to create SQL objects.

To close this hole, establish a rule that built-in estimators are
required to protect themselves against being called on the wrong type
of data.  It does not seem practical however to expect estimators in
extensions to reach a similar level of security, at least not in the
near term.  Therefore, also establish a rule that superuser privilege
is required to attach a non-built-in estimator to an operator.
We expect that this restriction will have little negative impact on
extensions, since estimators generally have to be written in C and
thus superuser privilege is required to create them in the first
place.

This commit changes the privilege checks in CREATE/ALTER OPERATOR
to enforce the rule about superuser privilege, and fixes a couple
of built-in estimators that were making datatype assumptions without
sufficiently checking that they're valid.

While the preceding commit prevented such attachments from occurring
in future, this one aims to prevent further abuse of any already-
created operator that exposes _int_matchsel to the wrong data types.
(No other contrib module has a vulnerable selectivity estimator.)

We need only check that the Const we've found in the query is indeed
of the type we expect (query_int), but there's a difficulty: as an
extension type, query_int doesn't have a fixed OID that we could
hard-code into the estimator.

Therefore, the bulk of this patch consists of infrastructure to let
an extension function securely look up the OID of a datatype
belonging to the same extension.  (Extension authors have requested
such functionality before, so we anticipate that this code will
have additional non-security uses, and may soon be extended to allow
looking up other kinds of SQL objects.)

This is done by first finding the extension that owns the calling
function (there can be only one), and then thumbing through the
objects owned by that extension to find a type that has the desired
name.  This is relatively expensive, especially for large extensions,
so a simple cache is put in front of these lookups.

Commit 1e7fe06c10c0a8da9dd6261a6be8d405dc17c728 changed
pg_mbstrlen_with_len() to ereport(ERROR) if the input ends in an
incomplete character.  Most callers want that.  text_substring() does
not.  It detoasts the most bytes it could possibly need to get the
requested number of characters.  For example, to extract up to 2 chars
from UTF8, it needs to detoast 8 bytes.  In a string of 3-byte UTF8
chars, 8 bytes spans 2 complete chars and 1 partial char.

Fix this by replacing this pg_mbstrlen_with_len() call with a string
traversal that differs by stopping upon finding as many chars as the
substring could need.  This also makes SUBSTRING() stop raising an
encoding error if the incomplete char is past the end of the substring.
This is consistent with the general philosophy of the above commit,
which was to raise errors on a just-in-time basis.  Before the above
commit, SUBSTRING() never raised an encoding error.

SUBSTRING() has long been detoasting enough for one more char than
needed, because it did not distinguish exclusive and inclusive end
position.  For avoidance of doubt, stop detoasting extra.

SUBSTRING() on non-ASCII column values, consider applying this to your

before commit 789d65364c (18.2, 17.8, 16.12, 15.16, 14.21). The
failure occurs after a truncation record has been replayed and looks
like this:

    FATAL:  could not access status of transaction 858112
    DETAIL:  Could not read from file "pg_multixact/offsets/000D" at offset 24576: read too few bytes.
    CONTEXT:  WAL redo at 3/2A3AB408 for MultiXact/CREATE_ID: 858111 offset 6695072 nmembers 5: 1048228 (sh) 1048271 (keysh) 1048316 (sh) 1048344 (keysh) 1048370 (sh)

The receive function of hstore was not able to handle correctly
duplicate key values when a new duplicate links to a NULL value, where a
pfree() could be attempted on a NULL pointer, crashing due to a pointer
dereference.

This problem would happen for a COPY BINARY, when stacking values like
that:
aa => 5
aa => null

The second key/value pair is discarded and pfree() calls are attempted
on its key and its value, leading to a pointer dereference for the value
part as the value is NULL.  The first key/value pair takes priority when
a duplicate is found.

Per offline report.

Various buildfarm members, having compilers like gcc 8.5 and 6.3, fail
to deduce that text_substring() variable "E" is initialized if
slice_size!=-1.  This suppression approach quiets gcc 8.5; I did not
reproduce the warning elsewhere.  Back-patch to v14, like commit
9f4fd119b2cbb9a41ec0c19a8d6ec9b59b92c125.

Commit c67bef3f325 introduced this test helper function for use by
src/test/regress/sql/encoding.sql, but its logic was incorrect.  It
confused an encoding ID for a boolean so it gave the wrong results for
some inputs, and also forgot the usual return macro.  The mistake didn't
affect values actually used in the test, so there is no change in
behavior.

Also drop it and another missed function at the end of the test, for
consistency.
