Commit 3eb9a5e7c unintentionally introduced an ordering dependency
into restore_toc_entries_prefork(). The existing coding of
reduce_dependencies() contains a check to skip moving a TOC entry
to the ready_list if it wasn't initially in the pending_list.
This used to suffice to prevent reduce_dependencies() from trying to
move anything into the ready_list during restore_toc_entries_prefork(),
because the pending_list stayed empty throughout that phase; but it no
longer does. The problem doesn't manifest unless the TOC has been
reordered by SortTocFromFile, which is how I missed it in testing.
To fix, just add a test for ready_list == NULL, converting the call
with NULL from a poor man's sanity check into an explicit command
not to touch TOC items' list membership. Clarify some of the comments
around this; in particular, note the primary purpose of the check for
pending_list membership, which is to ensure that we can't try to restore
the same item twice, in case a TOC list forces it to be restored before
its dependency count goes to zero.

That code patch was good as far as it went, but the associated test case
has exposed fundamental brain damage in the parallel scan mechanism,
which is going to take nontrivial work to correct. In the interests of
getting the buildfarm back to green so that unrelated work can proceed,
let's temporarily remove the test case.
Instead, lock them in the caller using find_all_inheritors so that
they get locked in the standard order, minimizing deadlock risks.
Also in RelationGetPartitionDispatchInfo, avoid opening tables which
are not partitioned; there's no need.

It now emerges that we can only rely on Perl to tell us we must use
-D_USE_32BIT_TIME_T if it's Perl 5.13.4 or later. For older versions,
revert to our previous practice of assuming we need that symbol in
all 32-bit Windows builds. This is not ideal, but inquiring into
which compiler version Perl was built with seems far too fragile.
In any case, we had not previously had complaints about these old
Perl versions, so let's assume this is Good Enough. (It's still
better than the situation ante commit 5a5c2feca, in that at least
the effects are confined to PL/Perl rather than the whole PG build.)
Back-patch to all supported versions, like 5a5c2feca and predecessors.

Previously, if we had to estimate the number of distinct values in a
VALUES column, we fell back on the default behavior used whenever we lack
statistics, which effectively is that there are Min(# of entries, 200)
distinct values. This can be very badly off with a large VALUES list,
as noted by Jeff Janes.
We could consider actually running an ANALYZE-like scan on the VALUES,
but that seems unduly expensive, and anyway it could not deliver reliable
info if the entries are not all constants. What seems like a better choice
is to assume that the values are all distinct. This will sometimes be just
as wrong as the old code, but it seems more likely to be more nearly right
in many common cases. Also, it is more consistent with what happens in
some related cases, for example WHERE x = ANY(ARRAY[1,2,3,...,n]) and
WHERE x = ANY(VALUES (1),(2),(3),...,(n)) now are estimated similarly.
This was discussed some time ago, but consensus was it'd be better
to slip it in at the start of a development cycle not near the end.
(It should've gone into v10, really, but I forgot about it.)

Previously, if you passed a non-aligned size to shm_toc_create(), the
memory returned by shm_toc_allocate() would be similarly non-aligned.
This was exposed by commit 3cda10f41b, which allocated structs containing
a pg_atomic_uint64 field with shm_toc_allocate(). On systems with
MAXIMUM_ALIGNOF = 4, such structs still need to be 8-bytes aligned, but
the memory returned by shm_toc_allocate() was only 4-bytes aligned.
It's quite bogus that we abuse BUFFERALIGN to align the structs for
pg_atomic_uint64. It doesn't really have anything to do with buffers. But
that's a separate issue.
This ought to fix the buildfarm failures on 32-bit x86 systems.

Since commit 40dae7ec53, which changed the way b-tree page splitting
works, there has been no difference in the handling of root, and non-root
split WAL records. We don't need to distinguish them anymore
If you're worried about the loss of debugging information, note that
usually a root split record will normally be followed by a WAL record to
create the new root page. The root page will also have the BTP_ROOT flag
set on the page itself, and there is a pointer to it from the metapage.

The initial implementation of autovacuum work-items used a dynamic
shared memory area (DSA). However, it's argued that dynamic shared
memory is not portable enough, so we cannot rely on it being supported
everywhere; at the same time, autovacuum work-items are now a critical
part of the server, so it's not acceptable that they don't work in the
cases where dynamic shared memory is disabled. Therefore, let's fall
back to a simpler implementation of work-items that just uses
autovacuum's main shared memory segment for storage.

The executor is capable of splitting buckets during a hash join if
too much memory is being used by a small number of buckets. However,
this only helps if a bucket's population is actually divisible; if
all the hash keys are alike, the tuples still end up in the same
new bucket. This can result in an OOM failure if there are enough
inner keys with identical hash values. The planner's cost estimates
will bias it against choosing a hash join in such situations, but not
by so much that it will never do so. To mitigate the OOM hazard,
explicitly estimate the hash bucket space needed by just the inner
side's most common value, and if that would exceed work_mem then
add disable_cost to the hash cost estimate.
This approach doesn't account for the possibility that two or more
common values would share the same hash value. On the other hand,
work_mem is normally a fairly conservative bound, so that eating
two or more times that much space is probably not going to kill us.
If we have no stats about the inner side, ignore this consideration.
There was some discussion of making a conservative assumption, but that
would effectively result in disabling hash join whenever we lack stats,
which seems like an overreaction given how seldom the problem manifests
in the field.
Per a complaint from David Hinkle. Although this could be viewed
as a bug fix, the lack of similar complaints weighs against back-
patching; indeed we waited for v11 because it seemed already rather
late in the v10 cycle to be making plan choice changes like this one.

function.

Adjust allow_star_schema_join and calc_nestloop_required_outer

partition-wise join will want to call it with the top-parent
relids to determine whether a child join is allowable.

plpgsql wants to recognize expressions that it can execute directly
via ExecEvalExpr() instead of going through the full SPI machinery.
Originally the test for this consisted of recursively groveling through
the post-planning expression tree to see if it contained only nodes that
plpgsql recognized as safe. That was a major maintenance headache, since
it required updating plpgsql every time we added any kind of expression
node. It was also kind of expensive, so over time we added various
pre-planning checks to try to short-circuit having to do that.
Robert Haas pointed out that as of the SRF-processing changes in v10,
particularly the addition of Query.hasTargetSRFs, there really isn't
any reason to make the recursive scan at all: the initial checks cover
everything we really care about. We do have to make sure that those
checks agree with what inline_function() considers, so that inlining
of a function that formerly wasn't inlined can't cause an expression
considered simple to become non-simple.
Hence, delete the recursive function exec_simple_check_node(), and tweak
those other tests to more exactly agree with inline_function(). Adjust
some comments and function naming to match.

The API for WaitLatch and friends followed the Unix convention in which
waiting for a socket connection to complete is identical to waiting for
the socket to accept a write. While Windows provides a select(2)
emulation that agrees with that, the native WaitForMultipleObjects API
treats them as quite different --- and for some bizarre reason, it will
report a not-yet-connected socket as write-ready. libpq itself has so
far escaped dealing with this because it waits with select(), but in
libpqwalreceiver.c we want to wait using WaitLatchOrSocket. The semantics
mismatch resulted in replication connection failures on Windows, but only
for remote connections (apparently, localhost connections complete
immediately, or at least too fast for anyone to have noticed the problem
in single-machine testing).
To fix, introduce an additional WL_SOCKET_CONNECTED wait flag for
WaitLatchOrSocket, which is identical to WL_SOCKET_WRITEABLE on
non-Windows, but results in waiting for FD_CONNECT events on Windows.
Ideally, we would also distinguish the two conditions in the API for
PQconnectPoll(), but changing that API at this point seems infeasible.
Instead, cheat by checking for PQstatus() == CONNECTION_STARTED to
determine that we're still waiting for the connection to complete.
(This is a cheat mainly because CONNECTION_STARTED is documented as an
internal state rather than something callers should rely on. Perhaps
we ought to change the documentation ... but this patch doesn't.)

Currently, child relations are always base relations, so when we
translate parent relids to child relids, we only need to translate
a singler relid. However, the proposed partition-wise join feature
will create child joins, which will mean we need to translate a set
of parent relids to the corresponding child relids. This is
preliminary refactoring to make that possible.

Stress testing by Andreas Seltenreich disclosed longstanding problems that
occur if a FATAL exit (e.g. due to receipt of SIGTERM) occurs while we are
trying to execute a ROLLBACK of an already-failed transaction. In such a
case, xact.c is in TBLOCK_ABORT state, so that AbortOutOfAnyTransaction
would skip AbortTransaction and go straight to CleanupTransaction. This
led to an assert failure in an assert-enabled build (due to the ROLLBACK's
portal still having a cleanup hook) or without assertions, to a FATAL exit
complaining about "cannot drop active portal". The latter's not
disastrous, perhaps, but it's messy enough to want to improve it.
We don't really want to run all of AbortTransaction in this code path.
The minimum required to clean up the open portal safely is to do
AtAbort_Memory and AtAbort_Portals. It seems like a good idea to
do AtAbort_Memory unconditionally, to be entirely sure that we are
starting with a safe CurrentMemoryContext. That means that if the
main loop in AbortOutOfAnyTransaction does nothing, we need an extra
step at the bottom to restore CurrentMemoryContext = TopMemoryContext,
which I chose to do by invoking AtCleanup_Memory. This'll result in
calling AtCleanup_Memory twice in many of the paths through this function,
but that seems harmless and reasonably inexpensive.
The original motivation for the assertion in AtCleanup_Portals was that
we wanted to be sure that any user-defined code executed as a consequence
of the cleanup hook runs during AbortTransaction not CleanupTransaction.
That still seems like a valid concern, and now that we've seen one case
of the assertion firing --- which means that exactly that would have
happened in a production build --- let's replace the Assert with a runtime
check. If we see the cleanup hook still set, we'll emit a WARNING and
just drop the hook unexecuted.
This has been like this a long time, so back-patch to all supported
branches.
