Here we reduce the block size fields in AllocSetContext, GenerationContext
and SlabContext from Size down to uint32. Ever since c6e0fe1f2, blocks
for non-dedicated palloc chunks can no longer be larger than 1GB, so
there's no need to store the various block size fields as 64-bit values.
32 bits are enough to store 2^30.
Here we also further reduce the memory context struct sizes by getting rid
of the 'keeper' field which stores a pointer to the context's keeper
block. All the context types which have this field always allocate the
keeper block in the same allocation as the memory context itself, so the
keeper block always comes right at the end of the context struct. Add
some macros to calculate that address rather than storing it in the
context.
Overall, in AllocSetContext and GenerationContext, this saves 20 bytes on
64-bit builds which for ALLOCSET_SMALL_SIZES can sometimes mean the
difference between having to allocate a 2nd block and storing all the
required allocations on the keeper block alone. Such contexts are used
in relcache to store cache entries for indexes, of which there can be
a large number in a single backend.

If the plan itself is parallel-safe, and the initPlans are too,
there's no reason anymore to prevent the plan from being marked
parallel-safe. That restriction (dating to commit ab77a5a45) was
really a special case of the fact that we couldn't transmit subplans
to parallel workers at all. We fixed that in commit 5e6d8d2bb and
follow-ons, but this case never got addressed.
We still forbid attaching initPlans to a Gather node that's
inserted pursuant to debug_parallel_query = regress. That's because,
when we hide the Gather from EXPLAIN output, we'd hide the initPlans
too, causing cosmetic regression diffs. It seems inadvisable to
kluge EXPLAIN to the extent required to make the output look the
same, so just don't do it in that case.
Along the way, this also takes care of some sloppiness about updating
path costs to match when we move initplans from one place to another
during createplan.c and setrefs.c. Since all the planning decisions
are already made by that point, this is just cosmetic; but it seems
good to keep EXPLAIN output consistent with where the initplans are.
The diff in query_planner() might be worth remarking on. I found that
one because after fixing things to allow parallel-safe initplans, one
partition_prune test case changed plans (as shown in the patch) ---
but only when debug_parallel_query was active. The reason proved to
be that we only bothered to mark Result nodes as potentially
parallel-safe when debug_parallel_query is on. This neglects the fact
that parallel-safety may be of interest for a sub-query even though
the Result itself doesn't parallelize.

We are capable of optimizing MIN() and MAX() aggregates on indexed
columns into subqueries that exploit the index, rather than the normal
thing of scanning the whole table. When we do this, we replace the
Aggref node(s) with Params referencing subquery outputs. Such Params
really ought to be included in the per-plan-node extParam/allParam
sets computed by SS_finalize_plan. However, we've never done so
up to now because of an ancient implementation choice to perform
that substitution during set_plan_references, which runs after
SS_finalize_plan, so that SS_finalize_plan never sees these Params.
This seems like clearly a bug, yet there have been no field reports
of problems that could trace to it. This may be because the types
of Plan nodes that could contain Aggrefs do not have any of the
rescan optimizations that are controlled by extParam/allParam.
Nonetheless it seems certain to bite us someday, so let's fix it
in a self-contained patch that can be back-patched if we find a
case in which there's a live bug pre-v17.
The cleanest fix would be to perform a separate tree walk to do
these substitutions before SS_finalize_plan runs. That seems
unattractive, first because a whole-tree mutation pass is expensive,
and second because we lack infrastructure for visiting expression
subtrees in a Plan tree, so that we'd need a new function knowing
as much as SS_finalize_plan knows about that. I also considered
swapping the order of SS_finalize_plan and set_plan_references,
but that fell foul of various assumptions that seem tricky to fix.
So the approach adopted here is to teach SS_finalize_plan itself
to check for such Aggrefs. I refactored things a bit in setrefs.c
to avoid having three copies of the code that does that.
Given the lack of any currently-known bug, no test case here.

This commit modifies this privilege check to verify the original

RelationReloadIndexInfo() is a fast-path used for index reloads in the
relation cache, and it has always forgotten about updating
indisreplident, which is something that would happen after an index is

information provided when executing a command in a transaction context
that updates indisreplident.
None of the code paths currently on HEAD that need to check upon
pg_index.indisreplident fetch its value from the relation cache, always
relying on a fresh copy on the syscache. Unfortunately, this may not be

indisvalid is switched to true for partitioned indexes when all its
partitions have valid indexes when attaching a new partition, up to the
top-most parent if all its leaves are themselves valid when dealing with
multiple layers of partitions.
The copy of the tuple from pg_index used to switch indisvalid to true
came from the relation cache, which is incorrect. Particularly, in the
case reported by Shruthi Gowda, executing a series of commands in a
single transaction would cause the validation of partitioned indexes to
use an incorrect version of a pg_index tuple, as indexes are reloaded
after an invalidation request with RelationReloadIndexInfo(), a much
faster version than a full index cache rebuild. In this case, the
limited information updated in the cache leads to an incorrect version
of the tuple used. One of the symptoms reported was the following
error, with a replica identity update, for instance:
"ERROR: attempted to update invisible tuple"
This is incorrect since 8b08f7d, so backpatch all the way down.

Until now, when DROP DATABASE got interrupted in the wrong moment, the removal
of the pg_database row would also roll back, even though some irreversible
steps have already been taken. E.g. DropDatabaseBuffers() might have thrown
out dirty buffers, or files could have been unlinked. But we continued to
allow connections to such a corrupted database.
To fix this, mark databases invalid with an in-place update, just before
starting to perform irreversible steps. As we can't add a new column in the
back branches, we use pg_database.datconnlimit = -2 for this purpose.
An invalid database cannot be connected to anymore, but can still be
dropped.
Unfortunately we can't easily add output to psql's \l to indicate that some
database is invalid, it doesn't fit in any of the existing columns.

WrapLimitsVacuumLock, the session / autovacuum worker hangs in an

reason, the lock was released.
The bug was introduced as a side effect of 566372b3d6.

GiST compress functions (like all GiST opclass functions) are
supposed to be called in short-lived memory contexts, so that
minor memory leaks in them are not of concern, and indeed
explicit pfree's are likely slightly counterproductive.
But this one in g_intbig_compress() is more than
slightly counterproductive, because it's guarded by
"if (in != DatumGetArrayTypeP(entry->key))" which means
that if this test succeeds, we've detoasted the datum twice.
(And to add insult to injury, the extra detoast result is
leaked.) Let's just drop the whole stanza, relying on the
GiST temporary context mechanism to clean up in good time.
The analogous bit in g_int_compress() is
if (r != (ArrayType *) DatumGetPointer(entry->key))
pfree(r);
which doesn't have the gratuitous-detoast problem so
I left it alone. Perhaps there is a case for removing
unnecessary pfree's more widely, but I'm not sure if it's
worth the code churn.
The potential extra decompress seems expensive enough to
justify calling this a (minor) performance bug and

Unlike the other implementations of getopt_long() I could find, the
in-tree implementation does not reorder non-options to the end of
argv. Instead, it returns -1 as soon as the first non-option is
found, even if there are other options listed afterwards. By
moving non-options to the end of argv, getopt_long() can parse all
specified options and return -1 when only non-options remain.
This quirk is periodically missed by hackers (e.g., 869aa40a27,
ffd398021c, and d9ddc50baf). This commit introduces the

Windows has similar functions with leading underscores. Previously, we
provided the rename via a macro in win32_port.h. In fact its functions
are not always good replacements for the Unix functions, since they
can't deal with UTF-8. They are only currently used by pg_locale.c,
which is careful to redirect to other Windows routines for UTF-8. Given
that portability hazard, it seem unlikely to be a good idea to encourage
any other code to think of these functions as being available outside
pg_locale.c. Any code that thinks it wants these functions probably
wants our wchar2char() or char2wchar() routines instead, or it won't
actually work on Windows in UTF-8 databases.
Furthermore, some major libc implementations including glibc don't have
them (they only have the standard variants without _l), so external code
is very unlikely to require them to exist.

Since PostgresMain calls sigsetjmp, any local variables that are not
marked "volatile" have a risk of unspecified behavior. In practice
this means that when control returns via longjmp, such variables might
get reset to their values as of the time of sigsetjmp, depending on
whether the compiler chose to put them in registers or on the stack.
We were careful about this for "send_ready_for_query", but not the
other local variables.
In the case of the timeout_enabled flags, resetting them to
their initial "false" states is actually good, since we do
"disable_all_timeouts()" in the longjmp cleanup code path. If that
does not happen, we risk uselessly calling "disable_timeout()" later,
which is harmless but a little bit expensive. Let's explicitly reset
these flags so that the behavior is correct and platform-independent.
(This change means that we really don't need the new "volatile"
markings after all, but let's install them anyway since any change
in this logic could re-introduce a problem.)
There is no issue for "firstchar" and "input_message" because those
are explicitly reinitialized each time through the query processing
loop. To make that clearer, move them to be declared inside the loop.
That leaves us with all the function-lifespan locals except the
sigjmp_buf itself marked as volatile, which seems like a good policy
to have going forward.
Because of the possibility of extra disable_timeout() calls, this
seems worth back-patching.

switch *from* for the extension's pg_depend entry. Hence, if the first
object scanned has a namespace different than the one stored in the
extension, we would finish by:
- Not checking that the extension objects map with the extension's
schema.
- Not switching the extension -> namespace dependency entry to the new
