System calls mixed up in error code paths are causing two issues which
several code paths have not correctly handled:
1) For write() calls, sometimes the system may return less bytes than
what has been written without errno being set. Some paths were careful
enough to consider that case, and assumed that errno should be set to
ENOSPC, other calls missed that.
2) errno generated by a system call is overwritten by other system calls
which may succeed once an error code path is taken, causing what is
reported to the user to be incorrect.
This patch uses the brute-force approach of correcting all those code
paths. Some refactoring could happen in the future, but this is let as
future work, which is not targeted for back-branches anyway.

Two out of three code paths were mapping column numbers correctly if a
partition had different column numbers than parent table, but the most
commonly used one (recursing in CREATE INDEX to a new index on a
partition) failed to map attribute numbers in expressions. Oddly
enough, attnums in WHERE clauses are already handled correctly
everywhere.

Commit 16828d5c02 neglected to do this, so upgraded databases would
silently get null instead of the specified default in rows without the
attribute defined.
A new binary upgrade function is provided to perform this and pg_dump is
adjusted to output a call to the function if required in binary upgrade
mode.
Also included is code to drop missing attribute values for dropped
columns. That way if the type is later dropped the missing value won't
have a dangling reference to the type.
Finally the regression tests are adjusted to ensure that there is a row
with a missing value so that this code is exercised in upgrade testing.
Catalog version unfortunately bumped.

According to the SQL standard, the context of XMLTABLE's XPath
row_expression is the document node of the XML input document, not the
root node. This becomes visible when a relative path rather than
absolute is used as row expression. Absolute paths is what was used in
original tests and docs (and the most common form used in examples
throughout the interwebs), which explains why this wasn't noticed
before.
Other functions such as xpath() and xpath_exists() also have this
problem. While not specified by the SQL standard, it would be pretty
odd to leave those functions to behave differently than XMLTABLE, so
change them too. However, this is a backwards-incompatible change.
No backpatch, out of fear of breaking code depending on the original
broken behavior.

split_pathtarget_at_srfs() neglected to worry about sortgroupref labels
in the intermediate PathTargets it constructs. I think we'd supposed
that their labeling didn't matter, but it does at least for the case that
GroupAggregate/GatherMerge nodes appear immediately under the ProjectSet
step(s). This results in "ERROR: ORDER/GROUP BY expression not found in

To fix, make this logic track the sortgroupref labeling of expressions,
not just their contents. This also restores the pre-v10 behavior that
separate GROUP BY expressions will be kept distinct even if they are
textually equal().

Since their introduction, partition trees have been a bit lossy
regarding temporary relations. Inheritance trees respect the following
patterns:
1) a child relation can be temporary if the parent is permanent.
2) a child relation can be temporary if the parent is temporary.
3) a child relation cannot be permanent if the parent is temporary.
4) The use of temporary relations also imply that when both parent and
child need to be from the same sessions.
Partitions share many similar patterns with inheritance, however the
handling of the partition bounds make the situation a bit tricky for
case 1) as the partition code bases a lot of its lookup code upon
PartitionDesc which does not really look after relpersistence. This
causes for example a temporary partition created by session A to be
visible by another session B, preventing this session B to create an
extra partition which overlaps with the temporary one created by A with
a non-intuitive error message. There could be use-cases where mixing
permanent partitioned tables with temporary partitions make sense, but
that would be a new feature. Partitions respect 2), 3) and 4) already.
It is a bit depressing to see those error checks happening in
MergeAttributes() whose purpose is different, but that's left as future
refactoring work.
Back-patch down to 10, which is where partitioning has been introduced,
except that default partitions do not apply there. Documentation also
includes limitations related to the use of temporary tables with
partition trees.

The following set of flags mainly matter when building Postgres code
with MSVC and those have been forgotten with latest developments:
- HAVE_LDAP_INITIALIZE, added by 35c0754f, and marked as disabled.
ldap_initialize() is a non-standard extension that provides a way to use
"ldaps" with OpenLDAP, but it is not supported on Windows, and instead
the non-standard ldap_sslinit() is used if WIN32 is defined. Per input
from Thomas Munro.
- HAVE_X509_GET_SIGNATURE_NID, added by 054e8c6c, which is used by
SCRAM's channel binding tls-server-end-point. Having this flag disabled
would cause this channel binding type to be unsupported for Windows
builds.
- HAVE_SSL_CLEAR_OPTIONS, added recently as of a364dfa4 to disable SSL
compression.
- HAVE_ASN1_STRING_GET0_DATA, added by 5c6df67, which is used to track
a new compatibility with OpenSSL 1.1.0. This was missing from
pg_config.win32.h and is not enabled by default. HAVE_BIO_GET_DATA,
HAVE_OPENSSL_INIT_SSL and HAVE_BIO_METH_NEW gain the same treatment.
The second and third flags are enabled with this commit, which raises
the bar of OpenSSL support to 1.0.2 on Windows as a minimum. As this
is the LTS (long-time support) version of OpenSSL community and knowing
that all recent installers referred by OpenSSL upstream don't have
anymore 1.0.1 or older, we could live with that requirement. In order
to allow the code to compile with OpenSSL 1.1.0, all the flags mentioned
above need to be enabled in pg_config.h.win32.

There seems little reason for the policy of throwing error if we
find a ref to something other than a hash or array. Recursively
look through the ref, instead. This makes the behavior in non-transform
cases comparable to what was already instantiated for jsonb_plperl.
Note that because we invoke any available transform function before
considering the ref case, it's up to each transform function whether
it wants to play along with this behavior or do something different.
Because the previous behavior was just to throw a useless error,
this seems unlikely to create any compatibility issues. Still, given
the lack of field complaints so far, seems best not to back-patch.

Per buildfarm, the output from Data::Dumper for an IEEE infinity
is platform-dependent (e.g. "inf" vs "Inf"). Just skip that one
test case in the plperlu test; testing it on the plperl side is
coverage enough. Fixes issue in commit 1731e3741.
We want, say, 2 to be transformed as 2, not \\2 which is what the
original coding produced. Perl's standard seems to be to add an RV
wrapper only for hash and array SVs, so do it like that.
This was missed originally because the test cases only checked what came
out of a round trip back to SQL, and the strip-all-dereferences loop at
the top of SV_to_JsonbValue hides the extra refs from view. As a better
test, print the Perl value with Data::Dumper, like the hstore_plperlu
tests do. While we can't do that in the plperl test, only plperlu,
that should be good enough because this code is the same for both PLs.
But also add a simplistic test for extra REFs, which we can do in both.
That strip-all-dereferences behavior is now a bit dubious; it's unlike
what happens for other Perl-to-SQL conversions. However, the best
thing to do seems to be to leave it alone and make the other conversions
act similarly. That will be done separately.

ProcedureCreate formerly threw an error if the function to be created
has one argument of composite type and the function name matches some
column of the composite type. This was a (very non-bulletproof) defense
against creating situations where f(x) and x.f are ambiguous. But we
don't really need such a defense in the wake of commit b97a3465d, which
allows us to deal with such situations fairly cleanly. This behavior
also created a dump-and-reload hazard, since a function might be
rejected if a conflicting column name had been added to the input
composite type later. Hence, let's just drop the check.
Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAOW5sYa3Wp7KozCuzjOdw6PiOYPi6D=VvRybtH2S=2C0SVmRmA@mail.gmail.com
Postgres has traditionally considered the syntactic forms f(x) and x.f
to be equivalent, allowing tricks such as writing a function and then
using it as though it were a computed-on-demand column. However, our
behavior when both interpretations are feasible left something to be
desired: we always chose the column interpretation. This could lead
to very surprising results, as in a recent bug report from Neil Conway.
It also created a dump-and-reload hazard, since what was a function
call in a dumped view could get interpreted as a column reference
at reload, if a matching column name had been added to the underlying
table since the view was created.
What seems better, in ambiguous situations, is to prefer the choice
matching the syntactic form of the reference. This seems much less
astonishing in general, and it fixes the dump/reload hazard.
Although this could be called a bug fix, there have been few complaints
and there's some small risk of breaking applications that depend on the
old behavior, so no back-patch. It does seem reasonable to slip it
into v11, though.

When a standby's WAL receiver stops reading WAL from a WAL stream, it
writes data to the current WAL segment without having priorily zero'ed
the page currently written to, which can cause the WAL reader to read
junk data from a past recycled segment and then it would try to get a
record from it. While sanity checks in place provide most of the
protection needed, in some rare circumstances, with chances increasing
when a record header crosses a page boundary, then the startup process
could fail violently on an allocation failure, as follows:
FATAL: invalid memory alloc request size XXX
This is confusing for the user and also unhelpful as this requires in
the worst case a manual restart of the instance, impacting potentially
the availability of the cluster, and this also makes WAL data look like
it is in a corrupted state.
The chances of seeing failures are higher if the connection between the
standby and its root node is unstable, causing WAL pages to be written
in the middle. A couple of approaches have been discussed, like
zero-ing new WAL pages within the WAL receiver itself but this has the
disadvantage of impacting performance of any existing instances as this
breaks the sequential writes done by the WAL receiver. This commit
deals with the problem with a more simple approach, which has no
performance impact without reducing the detection of the problem: if a
record is found with a length higher than 1GB for backends, then do not
try any allocation and report a soft failure which will force the
standby to retry reading WAL. It could be possible that the allocation
call passes and that an unnecessary amount of memory is allocated,
however follow-up checks on records would just fail, making this
allocation short-lived anyway.
This patch owes a great deal to Tsunakawa Takayuki for reporting the
failure first, and then discussing a couple of potential approaches to
the problem.

Clean up four places that result in compiler warnings when using recent
gcc with this warning class enabled (as seen on buildfarm members
calliphoridae, skink, and others). In all these places, this is purely
cosmetic, because the shift distance could not be large enough to risk

shifted value to unsigned, so let's do that.
Patch HEAD only, this isn't worth a back-patch.
gcc 8 has started emitting some warnings that are largely useless for
our purposes, particularly since they complain about code following
the project-standard coding convention that path names are assumed
