In cases where Xcode is newer than the underlying macOS version,
asking xcodebuild for the SDK path will produce a pointer to the
SDK shipped with Xcode, which may end up building code that does
not work on the underlying macOS version. It appears that in
such cases, xcodebuild's answer also fails to match the default
behavior of Apple's compiler: assuming one has installed Xcode's
"command line tools", there will be an SDK for the OS's own version
in /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools, and the compiler will
default to using that. This is all pretty poorly documented,
but experimentation suggests that "xcrun --show-sdk-path" gives
the sysroot path that the compiler is actually using, at least
in some cases. Hence, try that first, but revert to xcodebuild
if xcrun fails (in very old Xcode, it is missing or lacks the
--show-sdk-path switch).
Also, "xcrun --show-sdk-path" may give a path that is valid but lacks
any OS version identifier. We don't really want that, since most
of the motivation for wiring -isysroot into the build flags at all
is to ensure that all parts of a PG installation are built against
the same SDK, even when considering extensions built later and/or on
a different machine. Insist on finding "N.N" in the directory name
before accepting the result. (Adding "--sdk macosx" to the xcrun
call seems to produce the same answer as xcodebuild, but usually
more quickly because it's cached, so we also try that as a fallback.)
The core reason why we don't want to use Xcode's default SDK in cases
like this is that Apple's technology for introducing new syscalls
does not play nice with Autoconf: for example, configure will think
that preadv/pwritev exist when using a Big Sur SDK, even when building
on an older macOS version where they don't exist. It'd be nice to
have a better solution to that problem, but this patch doesn't attempt
to fix that.

The foreign server OID stored in the connection cache entry is used as
a lookup key to directly get the server name.
Previously since the connection cache entry did not have the server OID,
postgres_fdw had to get the server OID at first from user mapping before
getting the server name. So if the corresponding user mapping was dropped,
postgres_fdw could raise the error "cache lookup failed for user mapping"
while looking up user mapping and fail to get the server name even though
the server had not been dropped yet.

This is the same fix as commit 9eabfe300 applied to INDEX ATTACH
entries, but for table-to-publication attachments. As in that
case, even though the backend doesn't record "ownership" of the
attachment, we still ought to label it in the dump archive with
the role name that should run the ALTER PUBLICATION command.
The existing behavior causes the ALTER to be done by the original
role that started the restore; that will usually work fine, but
there may be corner cases where it fails.
The bulk of the patch is concerned with changing struct
PublicationRelInfo to include a pointer to the associated
PublicationInfo object, so that we can get the owner's name
out of that when the time comes. While at it, I rewrote
getPublicationTables() to do just one query of pg_publication_rel,
not one per table.

When a tablespace is used in a partitioned relation (per commits
ca4103025d in pg12 for tables and 33e6c34c32 in pg11 for indexes),
it is possible to drop the tablespace, potentially causing various
problems. One such was reported in bug #16577, where a rewriting ALTER
TABLE causes a server crash.
Protect against this by using pg_shdepend to keep track of tablespaces
when used for relations that don't keep physical files; we now abort a
tablespace if we see that the tablespace is referenced from any
partitioned relations.
Backpatch this to 11, where this problem has been latent all along. We
don't try to create pg_shdepend entries for existing partitioned
indexes/tables, but any ones that are modified going forward will be
protected.
Note slight behavior change: when trying to drop a tablespace that
contains both regular tables as well as partitioned ones, you'd
previously get ERRCODE_OBJECT_NOT_IN_PREREQUISITE_STATE and now you'll
get ERRCODE_DEPENDENT_OBJECTS_STILL_EXIST. Arguably, the latter is more
correct.
It is possible to add protecting pg_shdepend entries for existing
tables/indexes, by doing
ALTER TABLE ONLY some_partitioned_table SET TABLESPACE pg_default;
ALTER TABLE ONLY some_partitioned_table SET TABLESPACE original_tablespace;
for each partitioned table/index that is not in the database default
tablespace. Because these partitioned objects do not have storage, no
file needs to be actually moved, so it shouldn't take more time than
what's required to acquire locks.
This query can be used to search for such relations:
SELECT ... FROM pg_class WHERE relkind IN ('p', 'I') AND reltablespace <> 0

Commit 709d003fbd refactored WAL-reading code, but accidentally caused
WalSndSegmentOpen() to fail to follow a timeline switch while reading from
a historic timeline. This issue caused a standby to fail to follow a primary
on a newer timeline when WAL archiving is enabled.
If there is a timeline switch within the segment, WalSndSegmentOpen() should
read from the WAL segment belonging to the new timeline. But previously
since it failed to follow a timeline switch, it tried to read the WAL segment
with old timeline. When WAL archiving is enabled, that WAL segment with
old timeline doesn't exist because it's renamed to .partial. This leads
a primary to have tried to read non-existent WAL segment, and which caused
replication to faill with the error "ERROR: requested WAL segment ... has
already been removed".
This commit fixes WalSndSegmentOpen() so that it's able to follow a timeline
switch, to ensure that a standby is able to follow a primary on a newer
timeline even when WAL archiving is enabled.
This commit also adds the regression test to check whether a standby is
able to follow a primary on a newer timeline when WAL archiving is enabled.

This commit addresses some issues with c3826f83 that moved the hex
decoding routine to src/common/:
- The decoding function lacked overflow checks, so when used for
security-related features it was an open door to out-of-bound writes if
not carefully used that could remain undetected. Like the base64
routines already in src/common/ used by SCRAM, this routine is reworked
to check for overflows by having the size of the destination buffer
passed as argument, with overflows checked before doing any writes.
- The encoding routine was missing. This is moved to src/common/ and
it gains the same overflow checks as the decoding part.
On failure, the hex routines of src/common/ issue an error as per the
discussion done to make them usable by frontend tools, but not by shared
libraries. Note that this is why ECPG is left out of this commit, and
it still includes a duplicated logic doing hex encoding and decoding.
While on it, this commit uses better variable names for the source and
destination buffers in the existing escape and base64 routines in
encode.c and it makes them more robust to overflow detection. The
previous core code issued a FATAL after doing out-of-bound writes if
going through the SQL functions, which would be enough to detect
problems when working on changes that impacted this area of the
code. Instead, an error is issued before doing an out-of-bound write.
The hex routines were being directly called for bytea conversions and
backup manifests without such sanity checks. The current calls happen
to not have any problems, but careless uses of such APIs could easily
lead to CVE-class bugs.

Teach nbtree and heapam to cooperate in order to eagerly remove
duplicate tuples representing dead MVCC versions. This is "bottom-up
deletion". Each bottom-up deletion pass is triggered lazily in response
to a flood of versions on an nbtree leaf page. This usually involves a
"logically unchanged index" hint (these are produced by the executor
mechanism added by commit 9dc718bd).
The immediate goal of bottom-up index deletion is to avoid "unnecessary"
page splits caused entirely by version duplicates. It naturally has an
even more useful effect, though: it acts as a backstop against
accumulating an excessive number of index tuple versions for any given
_logical row_. Bottom-up index deletion complements what we might now
call "top-down index deletion": index vacuuming performed by VACUUM.
Bottom-up index deletion responds to the immediate local needs of
queries, while leaving it up to autovacuum to perform infrequent clean
sweeps of the index. The overall effect is to avoid certain
pathological performance issues related to "version churn" from UPDATEs.
The previous tableam interface used by index AMs to perform tuple
deletion (the table_compute_xid_horizon_for_tuples() function) has been
replaced with a new interface that supports certain new requirements.
Many (perhaps all) of the capabilities added to nbtree by this commit
could also be extended to other index AMs. That is left as work for a
later commit.
Extend deletion of LP_DEAD-marked index tuples in nbtree by adding logic
to consider extra index tuples (that are not LP_DEAD-marked) for
deletion in passing. This increases the number of index tuples deleted
significantly in many cases. The LP_DEAD deletion process (which is now
called "simple deletion" to clearly distinguish it from bottom-up
deletion) won't usually need to visit any extra table blocks to check
these extra tuples. We have to visit the same table blocks anyway to
generate a latestRemovedXid value (at least in the common case where the
index deletion operation's WAL record needs such a value).
Testing has shown that the "extra tuples" simple deletion enhancement
increases the number of index tuples deleted with almost any workload
that has LP_DEAD bits set in leaf pages. That is, it almost never fails
to delete at least a few extra index tuples. It helps most of all in
cases that happen to naturally have a lot of delete-safe tuples. It's
not uncommon for an individual deletion operation to end up deleting an
order of magnitude more index tuples compared to the old naive approach
(e.g., custom instrumentation of the patch shows that this happens
fairly often when the regression tests are run).
Add a further enhancement that augments simple deletion and bottom-up
deletion in indexes that make use of deduplication: Teach nbtree's
_bt_delitems_delete() function to support granular TID deletion in
posting list tuples. It is now possible to delete individual TIDs from
posting list tuples provided the TIDs have a tableam block number of a
table block that gets visited as part of the deletion process (visiting
the table block can be triggered directly or indirectly). Setting the
LP_DEAD bit of a posting list tuple is still an all-or-nothing thing,
but that matters much less now that deletion only needs to start out
with the right _general_ idea about which index tuples are deletable.
Bump XLOG_PAGE_MAGIC because xl_btree_delete changed.
No bump in BTREE_VERSION, since there are no changes to the on-disk
representation of nbtree indexes. Indexes built on PostgreSQL 12 or
PostgreSQL 13 will automatically benefit from bottom-up index deletion
(i.e. no reindexing required) following a pg_upgrade. The enhancement
to simple deletion is available with all B-Tree indexes following a
pg_upgrade, no matter what PostgreSQL version the user upgrades from.

Add an executor aminsert() hint mechanism that informs index AMs that
the incoming index tuple (the tuple that accompanies the hint) is not
being inserted by execution of an SQL statement that logically modifies
any of the index's key columns.
The hint is received by indexes when an UPDATE takes place that does not
apply an optimization like heapam's HOT (though only for indexes where
all key columns are logically unchanged). Any index tuple that receives
the hint on insert is expected to be a duplicate of at least one
existing older version that is needed for the same logical row. Related
versions will typically be stored on the same index page, at least
within index AMs that apply the hint.
Recognizing the difference between MVCC version churn duplicates and
true logical row duplicates at the index AM level can help with cleanup
of garbage index tuples. Cleanup can intelligently target tuples that
are likely to be garbage, without wasting too many cycles on less
promising tuples/pages (index pages with little or no version churn).
This is infrastructure for an upcoming commit that will teach nbtree to
perform bottom-up index deletion. No index AM actually applies the hint
just yet.

The recovery path of DropRelFileNodeBuffers() is optimized so that
scanning of the whole buffer pool can be avoided when the number of
blocks to be truncated in a relation is below a certain threshold. For
such cases, we find the buffers by doing lookups in BufMapping table.
This improves the performance by more than 100 times in many cases
when several small tables (tested with 1000 relations) are truncated
and where the server is configured with a large value of shared
buffers (greater than equal to 100GB).
This optimization helps cases (a) when vacuum or autovacuum truncated off
any of the empty pages at the end of a relation, or (b) when the relation is
truncated in the same transaction in which it was created.
This commit introduces a new API smgrnblocks_cached which returns a cached
value for the number of blocks in a relation fork. This helps us to determine
the exact size of relation which is required to apply this optimization. The
exact size is required to ensure that we don't leave any buffer for the
relation being dropped as otherwise the background writer or checkpointer
can lead to a PANIC error while flushing buffers corresponding to files that
don't exist.

Previously, we emitted the ATTACH PARTITION command as part of

complicates restoring the partition as a standalone table; you have
to ignore the error from the ATTACH, which isn't even an option when
restoring direct-to-database with pg_restore. (pg_restore will issue

Wedging a new object type into this table has historically required

We can let the compiler do the counting by inventing an enum type that

This patch is not purely cosmetic, because I split apart the priorities

Prefix "could not connect to host-or-socket-path:" to all connection
failure cases that occur after the socket() call, and remove the
ad-hoc server identity data that was appended to a few of these
messages. This should produce much more intelligible error reports
in multiple-target-host situations, especially for error cases that
are off the beaten track to any degree (because none of those provided
any server identity info).
As an example of the change, formerly a connection attempt with a bad
port number such as "psql -p 12345 -h localhost,/tmp" might produce
psql: error: could not connect to server: Connection refused
Is the server running on host "localhost" (::1) and accepting
TCP/IP connections on port 12345?
could not connect to server: Connection refused
Is the server running on host "localhost" (127.0.0.1) and accepting
TCP/IP connections on port 12345?
could not connect to server: No such file or directory
Is the server running locally and accepting
connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.12345"?
Now it looks like
psql: error: could not connect to host "localhost" (::1), port 12345: Connection refused
Is the server running on that host and accepting TCP/IP connections?
could not connect to host "localhost" (127.0.0.1), port 12345: Connection refused
Is the server running on that host and accepting TCP/IP connections?
could not connect to socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.12345": No such file or directory
Is the server running locally and accepting connections on that socket?
This requires adjusting a couple of regression tests to allow for
variation in the contents of a connection failure message.

would wipe out the record of what had happened during previous attempts.
(The reporting is still inadequate, in that it can be hard to tell which
host got the failure, but that seems like a matter for a separate commit.)
Currently, lo_import and lo_export contain exceptions to the "never
use printfPQExpBuffer" rule. If we changed them, we'd risk reporting
an incidental lo_close failure before the actual read or write
failure, which would be confusing, not least because lo_close happened
after the main failure. We could improve this by inventing an
internal version of lo_close that doesn't reset the errorMessage; but
we'd also need a version of PQfn() that does that, and it didn't quite
seem worth the trouble for now.

Instead of making many block-sized write() calls to fill a new WAL file
with zeroes, make a smaller number of pwritev() calls (or various
emulations). The actual number depends on the OS's IOV_MAX, which
PG_IOV_MAX currently caps at 32. That means we'll write 256kB per call
on typical systems. We may want to tune the number later with more
experience.

Provide synchronous vectored file I/O routines. These map to preadv()
and pwritev(), with fallback implementations for systems that don't have
them. Also provide a wrapper pg_pwritev_with_retry() that automatically
retries on short writes.

Commit 5a3574d7b3 added the test for decoding of two-phase transactions
during the build of a consistent snapshot. The test forgot to skip empty
xacts which can lead to decoding of extra empty transactions due to
background activity by autovacuum.
Per report by buildfarm.
