Previously, membership of role A in role B could be recorded in the
catalog tables only once. This meant that a new grant of role A to
role B would overwrite the previous grant. For other object types, a
new grant of permission on an object - in this case role A - exists
along side the existing grant provided that the grantor is different.
Either grant can be revoked independently of the other, and
permissions remain so long as at least one grant remains. Make role
grants work similarly.
Previously, when granting membership in a role, the superuser could
specify any role whatsoever as the grantor, but for other object types,
the grantor of record must be either the owner of the object, or a
role that currently has privileges to perform a similar GRANT.
Implement the same scheme for role grants, treating the bootstrap
superuser as the role owner since roles do not have owners. This means
that attempting to revoke a grant, or admin option on a grant, can now
fail if there are dependent privileges, and that CASCADE can be used
to revoke these. It also means that you can't grant ADMIN OPTION on
a role back to a user who granted it directly or indirectly to you,
similar to how you can't give WITH GRANT OPTION on a privilege back
to a role which granted it directly or indirectly to you.
Previously, only the superuser could specify GRANTED BY with a user
other than the current user. Relax that rule to allow the grantor
to be any role whose privileges the current user posseses. This
doesn't improve compatibility with what we do for other object types,
where support for GRANTED BY is entirely vestigial, but it makes this
feature more usable and seems to make sense to change at the same time
we're changing related behaviors.
Along the way, fix "ALTER GROUP group_name ADD USER user_name" to
require the same privileges as "GRANT group_name TO user_name".
Previously, CREATEROLE privileges were sufficient for either, but
only the former form was permissible with ADMIN OPTION on the role.
Now, either CREATEROLE or ADMIN OPTION on the role suffices for
either spelling.

Remove four probes for members of sockaddr_storage. Keep only the probe
for sockaddr's sa_len, which is enough for our two remaining places that
know about _len fields:
1. ifaddr.c needs to know if sockaddr has sa_len to understand the
result of ioctl(SIOCGIFCONF). Only AIX is still using the relevant code
today, but it seems like a good idea to keep it compilable on Linux.
2. ip.c was testing for presence of ss_len to decide whether to fill in
sun_len in our getaddrinfo_unix() function. It's just as good to test
for sa_len. If you have one, you have them all.
(The code in #2 isn't actually needed at all on several OSes I checked
since modern versions ignore sa_len on input to system calls. Proving
that's the case for all relevant OSes is left for another day, but
wouldn't get rid of that last probe anyway if we still want it for #1.)

Compiling with -Wshadow=compatible-local yields quite a few warnings about
local variables being shadowed by compatible local variables in an inner
scope. Of course, this is perfectly valid in C, but we have had bugs in
the past as a result of developers failing to notice this. af7d270dd is a
recent example.
Here we do a cleanup of warnings we receive from -Wshadow=compatible-local
for code which is new to PostgreSQL 15. We've yet to have the discussion
about if we actually ever want to run that as a standard compilation flag.
We'll need to at least get the number of warnings down to something easier
to manage before we can realistically consider if we want this or not.
This commit is the first step towards reducing the warnings.
The changes being made here are all fairly trivial. Because of that, and
the fact that v15 is still in beta, this is being back-patched into 15.
It seems more risky not to do this as the risk of future bugs is increased
by the additional conflicts that this commit could cause for any future

Consistently avoid trusting a sample of only one page at the point that
VACUUM determines a new reltuples for the target table (though only when
the table is larger than a single page). This is follow-up work to
commit 74388a1a, which added a heuristic to prevent reltuples from
becoming distorted by successive VACUUM operations that each scan only a
single heap page (which was itself more or less a bugfix for an issue in
commit 44fa8488, which simplified VACUUM's handling of scanned pages).
The original bugfix commit did not account for certain remaining cases
that where not affected by its "2% of total relpages" heuristic. This
happened with relations that are small enough that just one of its pages
exceeded the 2% threshold, yet still big enough for VACUUM to deem
skipping most of its pages via the visibility map worthwhile. reltuples
could still become distorted over time with such a table, at least in
scenarios where the VACUUM command is run repeatedly and without the
table itself ever changing.

Usage of ReadNextXLogRecord()'s first_record parameter for error
reporting isn't always correct. For instance, in GetWALRecordsInfo()

Previously, "GRANT foo TO bar" or "GRANT foo TO bar GRANTED BY baz"
would record the OID of the grantor in pg_auth_members.grantor, but
that role could later be dropped without modifying or removing the
pg_auth_members record. That's not great, because we typically try
to avoid dangling references in catalog data.
Now, a role grant depends on the grantor, and the grantor can't be
dropped without removing the grant or changing the grantor. "DROP
OWNED BY" will remove the grant, just as it does for other kinds of
privileges. "REASSIGN OWNED BY" will not, again just like what we do
in other cases involving privileges.
pg_auth_members now has an OID column, because that is needed in order
for dependencies to work. It also now has an index on the grantor
column, because otherwise dropping a role would require a sequential
scan of the entire table to see whether the role's OID is in use as
a grantor. That probably wouldn't be too large a problem in practice,
but it seems better to have an index just in case.
A follow-on patch is planned with the goal of more thoroughly
rationalizing the behavior of role grants. This patch is just trying
to do enough to make sure that the data we store in the catalogs is at
some basic level valid.

The present implementations of adjust_appendrel_attrs_multilevel and
its sibling adjust_child_relids_multilevel are very messy, because
they work by reconstructing the relids of the child's immediate
parent and then seeing if that's bms_equal to the relids of the
target parent. Aside from being quite inefficient, this will not
work with planned future changes to make joinrels' relid sets
contain outer-join relids in addition to baserels.
The whole thing can be solved at a stroke by adding explicit parent
and top_parent links to child RelOptInfos, and making these functions
work with RelOptInfo pointers instead of relids. Doing that is
simpler for most callers, too.
In my original version of this patch, I got rid of
RelOptInfo.top_parent_relids on the grounds that it was now redundant.
However, that adds a lot of code churn in places that otherwise would
not need changing, and arguably the extra indirection needed to fetch
top_parent->relids in those places costs something. So this version
leaves that field in place.

As written, if you use XLogBeginRead() to position an xlogreader at
the beginning of a WAL page and then try to read WAL, this assertion
will fail. However, the header comment for XLogBeginRead() claims
that positioning an xlogreader at the beginning of a page is valid,
and the code here is perfectly able to cope with it. It's only the
assertion that causes trouble. So relax it.
This is formally a bug in all supported branches, but as it doesn't
seem to have any consequences for current uses of the xlogreader
facility, no back-patch, at least for now.

When creating a partitioned index, DefineIndex tries to identify
any existing indexes on the partitions that match the partitioned
index, so that it can absorb those as child indexes instead of
building new ones. Part of the matching is to compare IndexInfo
structs --- but that wasn't done quite right. We're comparing
the IndexInfo built within DefineIndex itself to one made from
existing catalog contents by BuildIndexInfo. Notably, while
BuildIndexInfo will run index expressions and predicates through
expression preprocessing, that has not happened to DefineIndex's
struct. The result is failure to match and subsequent creation
of duplicate indexes.
The easiest and most bulletproof fix is to build a new IndexInfo
using BuildIndexInfo, thereby guaranteeing that the processing done
is identical.
While here, let's also extract the opfamily and collation data
from the new partitioned index, removing ad-hoc logic that
duplicated knowledge about how those are constructed.
Per report from Christophe Pettus. Back-patch to v11 where

On BSD-family systems, header <sys/sockio.h> defines socket ioctl
numbers like SIOCGIFCONF. Only AIX is using those now, but it defines
them in <net/if.h> anyway.
Supposing some PostgreSQL hacker wants to test that AIX-only code path
on a more common development system by pretending not to have
getifaddrs(). It's enough to include <sys/ioctl.h>, at least on macOS,
FreeBSD and Linux, and we're already doing that.
We carried a special implementation of pg_foreach_ifaddr() using
Solaris's ioctl(SIOCGLIFCONF), but Solaris 11 and illumos adopted
getifaddrs() more than a decade ago, and we prefer to use that. Solaris
10 is EOL'd. Remove the dead code.
Adjust comment about which OSes have getifaddrs(), which also
incorrectly listed AIX. AIX is in fact the only Unix in the build farm
that *doesn't* have it today, so the implementation based on
ioctl(SIOCGIFCONF) (note, no 'L') is still live. All the others have
had it for at least one but mostly two decades.
The last-stop fallback at the bottom of the file is dead code in
practice, but it's hard to justify removing it because the better
options are all non-standard.

Backpatch to v15
1349d2790 changed things to make the planner request that the
query_pathkeys contain pathkeys for any ORDER BY / DISTINCT aggregates.
Some code added prior to that commit in db0d67db2 made it so the order
that the pathkeys appear in the group_pathkeys could be changed so that
the GROUP BY could be executed in a more optimal order which minimized
sort comparisons. 1349d2790 had to make sure that the pathkeys for any
ORDER BY / DISTINCT aggregates remained at the end of the groupby_pathkeys
and wasn't reordered, so some code was added to
add_paths_to_grouping_rel() to first strip off any pathkeys belonging to
ORDER BY / DISTINCT aggregates before passing to the function to optimize
the order of the group_pathkeys.
It seems I dropped the ball in 1349d2790 and mistakenly used the untouched
PlannerInfo.group_pathkeys to pass to get_useful_group_keys_orderings()
instead of the version that had the aggregate pathkeys removed. It was
only the code path that was handling creating paths for
partially_grouped_rel which made this mistake. In practice, we'll never
have any extra pathkeys to strip off when processing
partially_grouped_rel as that's only used when considering partial
paths, which we never do when there are ORDER BY / DISTINCT aggregates.
So this is just a hypothetical bug, not a live bug. We already have the
correct pathkeys determined, so it's of no extra cost to pass the
correct variable.

Make build_joinrel_tlist() responsible for adding PHVs that were
already computed in one or the other input relation, and therefore
change add_placeholders_to_joinrel() to only add PHVs that will be
newly computed in this joinrel's output. This makes the handling
of PHVs in build_joinrel_tlist() more like its handling of plain
Vars, which seems like a good thing on intelligibility grounds
and will simplify planned future changes. There is a purely
cosmetic side-effect that the order of entries in the joinrel's
tlist may change; but since it becomes more like the order of
entries in the input tlists, that's not bad.
The reason it wasn't done like this originally was the potential
cost of looking up PlaceHolderInfo entries to consult ph_needed.
Now that that's O(1) it shouldn't hurt.

Up to now, callers of find_placeholder_info() were required to pass
a flag indicating if it's OK to make a new PlaceHolderInfo. That'd
be fine if the callers had free choice, but they do not. Once we
begin deconstruct_jointree() it's no longer OK to make more PHIs;
while callers before that always want to create a PHI if it's not
there already. So there's no freedom of action, only the opportunity
to cause bugs by creating PHIs too late. Let's get rid of that in
favor of adding a state flag PlannerInfo.placeholdersFrozen, which
we can set at the point where it's no longer OK to make more PHIs.
This patch also simplifies a couple of call sites that were using
complicated logic to avoid calling find_placeholder_info() as much
as possible. Now that that lookup is O(1) thanks to the previous
commit, the extra bitmap manipulations are probably a net negative.

Up to now we've just searched the placeholder_list when we want to
find the PlaceHolderInfo with a given ID. While there's no evidence
of that being a problem in the field, an upcoming patch will add
find_placeholder_info() calls in build_joinrel_tlist(), which seems
likely to make it more of an issue: a joinrel emitting lots of
PlaceHolderVars would incur O(N^2) cost, and we might be building
a lot of joinrels in complex queries. Hence, add an array that
can be indexed directly by phid to make the lookups constant-time.

The standard way to check for list emptiness is to compare the
List pointer to NIL; our list code goes out of its way to ensure
that that is the only representation of an empty list. (An
acceptable alternative is a plain boolean test for non-null
pointer, but explicit mention of NIL is usually preferable.)
Various places didn't get that memo and expressed the condition
with list_length(), which might not be so bad except that there
were such a variety of ways to check it exactly: equal to zero,
less than or equal to zero, less than one, yadda yadda. In the
name of code readability, let's standardize all those spellings
as "list == NIL" or "list != NIL". (There's probably some
microscopic efficiency gain too, though few of these look to be
at all performance-critical.)
A very small number of cases were left as-is because they seemed
more consistent with other adjacent list_length tests that way.
