Commit 83aaac41c6 introduced the use of
LDAP_NO_ATTRS to avoid requesting a dummy attribute when doing search+bind
LDAP authentication. It turns out that not all LDAP implementations define
that macro, but its value is fixed by the protocol so we can define it
ourselves if it's missing.

could be used to search an LDAP server. Introduce ldapsearchfilter
so that more general filters can be configured using patterns, like
"(|(uid=$username)(mail=$username))" and "(&(uid=$username)

When copying from an active database tree, it's possible for files to be
deleted after we see them in a readdir() scan but before we can open them.
(Once we've got a file open, we don't expect any further errors from it
getting unlinked, though.) Tweak RecursiveCopy so it can cope with this
case, so as to avoid irreproducible test failures.
Back-patch to 9.6 where this code was added. In v10 and HEAD, also

This is primarily useful for making tests of this utility more
deterministic, to avoid the complexity of starting pg_receivewal as a
deamon in TAP tests.
While this is less useful than the equivalent pg_recvlogical option,
users can as well use it for example to enforce WAL streaming up to a
end-of-backup position, to save only a minimal amount of WAL.
Use this new option to stream WAL data in a deterministic way within a
new set of TAP tests.

AFTER triggers using transition tables crashed if they were fired due
to a foreign key ON CASCADE update. This is because ExecEndModifyTable
flushes the transition tables, on the assumption that any trigger that
could need them was already fired during ExecutorFinish. Normally
that's true, because we don't allow transition-table-using triggers
to be deferred. However, foreign key CASCADE updates force any
triggers on the referencing table to be deferred to the outer query
level, by means of the EXEC_FLAG_SKIP_TRIGGERS flag. I don't recall
all the details of why it's like that and am pretty loath to redesign
it right now. Instead, just teach ExecEndModifyTable to skip destroying
the TransitionCaptureState when that flag is set. This will allow the
transition table data to survive until end of the current subtransaction.
This isn't a terribly satisfactory solution, because (1) we might be
leaking the transition tables for much longer than really necessary,
and (2) as things stand, an AFTER STATEMENT trigger will fire once per
RI updating query, ie once per row updated or deleted in the referenced
table. I suspect that is not per SQL spec. But redesigning this is a
research project that we're certainly not going to get done for v10.
So let's go with this hackish answer for now.
In passing, tweak AfterTriggerSaveEvent to not save the transition_capture
pointer into the event record for a deferrable trigger. This is not
necessary to fix the current bug, but it avoids letting dangling pointers
to long-gone transition tables persist in the trigger event queue. That's
at least a safety feature. It might also allow merging shared trigger
states in more cases than before.
I added a regression test that demonstrates the crash on unpatched code,
and also exposes the behavior of firing the AFTER STATEMENT triggers
once per row update.
Per bug #14808 from Philippe Beaudoin. Back-patch to v10.

This code isn't used, and there's no clear reason why anybody would ever
want to use it. These traversal mechanisms don't yield a visitation order
that is semantically meaningful for any external purpose, nor are they
any faster or simpler than the left-to-right or right-to-left traversals.
(In fact, some rough testing suggests they are slower :-(.) Moreover,
these mechanisms are impossible to test in any arm's-length fashion; doing
so requires knowledge of the red-black tree's internal implementation.
Hence, let's just jettison them.

The previous coding of get_qual_for_list() was careful to copy everything
it was using from the input data structure. The new version missed
making a copy of pass-by-ref datum values that it's inserting into Consts.
This is not optional, however, as revealed by buildfarm failures on
machines running -DRELCACHE_FORCE_RELEASE: we're copying from a relcache
entry that could go away before the required lifespan of our output
expression. I'm pretty sure -DCLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS machines won't like
this either, but none of them have reported in yet.
map_partition_varattnos() failed to set its found_whole_row output
parameter if the given expression list was NIL. This seems to be
a pre-existing bug that chanced to be exposed by commit 6f6b99d13.
It might be unreachable in v10, but I have little faith in that
proposition, so back-patch.

In commit fccebe421, we hacked get_actual_variable_range() to scan the
index with SnapshotDirty, so that if there are many uncommitted tuples
at the end of the index range, it wouldn't laboriously scan through all
of them looking for a live value to return. However, that didn't fix it
for the case of many recently-dead tuples at the end of the index;
SnapshotDirty recognizes those as committed dead and so we're back to
the same problem.
To improve the situation, invent a "SnapshotNonVacuumable" snapshot type
and use that instead. The reason this helps is that, if the snapshot
rejects a given index entry, we know that the indexscan will mark that
index entry as killed. This means the next get_actual_variable_range()
scan will proceed past that entry without visiting the heap, making the
scan a lot faster. We may end up accepting a recently-dead tuple as
being the estimated extremal value, but that doesn't seem much worse than
the compromise we made before to accept not-yet-committed extremal values.
The cost of the scan is still proportional to the number of dead index
entries at the end of the range, so in the interval after a mass delete
but before VACUUM's cleaned up the mess, it's still possible for
get_actual_variable_range() to take a noticeable amount of time, if you've
got enough such dead entries. But the constant factor is much much better
than before, since all we need to do with each index entry is test its
"killed" bit.
We chose to back-patch commit fccebe421 at the time, but I'm hesitant to
do so here, because this form of the problem seems to affect many fewer
people. Also, even when it happens, it's less bad than the case fixed
by commit fccebe421 because we don't get the contention effects from
expensive TransactionIdIsInProgress tests.

It is equivalent in ANSI C to write (*funcptr) () and funcptr(). These
two styles have been applied inconsistently. After discussion, we'll
use the more verbose style for plain function pointer variables, to make
it clear that it's a variable, and the shorter style when the function
pointer is in a struct (s.func() or s->func()), because then it's clear
that it's not a plain function name, and otherwise the excessive
punctuation makes some of those invocations hard to read.

Issuing a savepoint-related command in a Query message that contains
multiple SQL statements led to a FATAL exit with a complaint about
"unexpected state STARTED". This is a shortcoming of commit 4f896dac1,
which attempted to prevent such misbehaviors in multi-statement strings;
its quick hack of marking the individual statements as "not top-level"
does the wrong thing in this case, and isn't a very accurate description
of the situation anyway.
To fix, let's introduce into xact.c an explicit model of what happens for
multi-statement Query strings. This is an "implicit transaction block
in progress" state, which for many purposes works like the normal
TBLOCK_INPROGRESS state --- in particular, IsTransactionBlock returns true,
causing the desired result that PreventTransactionChain will throw error.
But in case of error abort it works like TBLOCK_STARTED, allowing the
transaction to be cancelled without need for an explicit ROLLBACK command.
Commit 4f896dac1 is reverted in toto, so that we go back to treating the
individual statements as "top level". We could have left it as-is, but
this allows sharpening the error message for PreventTransactionChain
calls inside functions.
Except for getting a normal error instead of a FATAL exit for savepoint
commands, this patch should result in no user-visible behavioral change
(other than that one error message rewording). There are some things
we might want to do in the line of changing the appearance or wording of
error and warning messages around this behavior, which would be much
simpler to do now that it's an explicitly modeled state. But I haven't
done them here.
Although this fixes a long-standing bug, no backpatch. The consequences
of the bug don't seem severe enough to justify the risk that this commit
itself creates some new issue.
Patch by me, but it owes something to previous investigation by
Takayuki Tsunakawa, who also reported the bug in the first place.
Also thanks to Michael Paquier for reviewing.

In the generic atomic ops that rely on a loop around a CAS primitive,
there's no need to force the initial read of the "old" value to be atomic.
In the typically-rare case that we get a torn value, that simply means
that the first CAS attempt will fail; but it will update "old" to the
atomically-read value, so the next attempt has a chance of succeeding.
It was already being done that way in pg_atomic_exchange_u64_impl(),
but let's duplicate the approach in the rest.
(Given the current coding of the pg_atomic_read functions, this change
is a no-op anyway on popular platforms; it only makes a difference where
pg_atomic_read_u64_impl() is implemented as a CAS.)
In passing, also remove unnecessary take-a-pointer-and-dereference-it
coding in the pg_atomic_read functions. That seems to have been based
on a misunderstanding of what the C standard requires. What actually
matters is that the pointer be declared as pointing to volatile, which
it is.
I don't believe this will change the assembly code at all on x86
platforms (even ignoring the likelihood that these implementations
get overridden by others); but it may help on less-mainstream CPUs.

In addition to __sync_fetch_and_add, gcc offers __sync_fetch_and_sub,
__sync_fetch_and_and, and __sync_fetch_and_or, which correspond directly
to primitive atomic ops that we want. Testing shows that in some cases
they generate better code than our generic implementations, so use them.
We've assumed that configure's test for __sync_val_compare_and_swap is
sufficient to allow assuming that __sync_fetch_and_add is available, so
make the same assumption for these functions. Should that prove to be
wrong, we can add more configure tests.

The pg_atomic_compare_exchange_xxx functions are defined to update
*expected to whatever they read from the target variable. Therefore,
there's no need to do additional explicit reads after we've initialized
the "old" variable. The actual benefit of this is somewhat debatable,
but it seems fairly unlikely to hurt anything, especially since we
will override the generic implementations in most performance-sensitive
cases.
