Commit 210622c6 accidentally zeroed out pages even if they were found in
the buffer pool. It should always lock the page, but it should only
zero pages that were not already valid. Otherwise, concurrent readers
that hold only a pin could see corrupted page contents changing under
their feet.

Also restore a some useful comments lost by 210622c6's refactoring, and
add some new ones to clarify why we need to use the BM_IO_IN_PROGRESS
infrastructure despite not doing I/O.

Normally this case isn't even reachable by non-superusers, since
permissions checks prevent naming such a table. However, it is
possible to make it happen by altering a parent table whose child
is another session's temp table.
We definitely can't support any such ALTER that requires modifying
the contents of such a table, since we lack access to the other
session's temporary-buffer pool. But there seems no good reason
to allow it even if it'd only require changing catalog contents.
One reason not to allow it is that we'd rather not expose the
implementation-dependent behavior of whether a specific ALTER
requires touching the table contents. Another is that there may
be (in future, even if not today) optimizations that assume that
a session's own temp tables won't be modified by other sessions.
Hence, add a RELATION_IS_OTHER_TEMP() check to all the places
where ALTER TABLE currently does CheckTableNotInUse(). (I looked
through all other callers of CheckTableNotInUse(), and they seem
OK already.)

If the CALL is within an atomic context (e.g. there's an outer
transaction block), _SPI_execute_plan should acquire a fresh snapshot
to execute any such functions with. We failed to do that and instead
passed them the Portal snapshot, which had been acquired at the start
of the current SQL command. This'd lead to seeing stale values of
rows modified since the start of the command.
This is arguably a bug in 84f5c2908: I failed to see that "are we in
non-atomic mode" needs to be defined the same way as it is further
down in _SPI_execute_plan, i.e. check !_SPI_current->atomic not just
options->allow_nonatomic. Alternatively the blame could be laid on
plpgsql, which is unconditionally passing allow_nonatomic = true
for CALL/DO even when it knows it's in an atomic context. However,
fixing it in spi.c seems like a better idea since that will also fix
the problem for any extensions that may have copied plpgsql's coding
pattern.
While here, update an obsolete comment about _SPI_execute_plan's
snapshot management.

Floris Van Nee has reported a bug in the pgstats facility where a stats
entry already dropped would get again dropped. This case should not
happen, still the error generated did not offer any details about the
stats entry getting dropped.
This commit improves the error message generated to inform about the

Previously, when considering LIMIT pushdown, postgres_fdw failed to
check whether the query has this clause, which led to pushing false
LIMIT clauses, causing incorrect results.
This clause has been supported since v13, so we need to do a
remote-version check before deciding that it will be safe to push such a
clause, but we do not currently have a way to do the check (without
accessing the remote server); disable pushing such a clause for now.

Meson uses warning/debug/optimize flags such as "-Wall", "-g", and
"-O2" automatically based on "--warnlevel" and "--buildtype" options.
And we use "--warning_level=1" and "--buildtype=debugoptimized" by
default.
But we need these flags for Makefile.global (for extensions) and
pg_config, so we need to compute them manually based on the
higher-level options.
Without this change, extensions building using pgxs wouldn't get -Wall

Before the v13-era commit 913bbd88d, check_sql_fn_retval fails to
resolve polymorphic output types and then just throws up its hands and
assumes the check will be made at runtime. I think that's true for
ordinary functions returning RECORD, but it doesn't happen in CALL,
potentially resulting in crashes if the actual output of the SQL
procedure's SELECT doesn't match the type inferred from polymorphism.
With a little bit of rearrangement, we can use get_call_result_type
instead of get_func_result_type and thereby infer the correct types.
I'm still unwilling to back-patch all of 913bbd88d, so if the types
don't match you'll get an error rather than perhaps silently inserting
a cast as v13 and later can. That's consistent with prior behavior
though, so it seems fine.
Prior to 70ffb27b2, you'd typically get other errors due to other
shortcomings of CALL's management of polymorphism. Nonetheless,
this is an independent bug.
Although there is no bug in v13 and up, it seems prudent to add
the test case for this to the newer branches too. It's clearly
an under-tested area.

ReorderBufferImmediateInvalidation() executes invalidation messages in
an aborted transaction. However, RelationFlushRelation sometimes
required a valid resource owner, to temporarily increment the refcount
of the relache entry. Commit b8bff07daa worked around that in the main
subtransaction abort function, AbortSubTransaction(), but missed this
similar case in ReorderBufferImmediateInvalidation().
To fix, introduce a separate function to invalidate a relcache
entry. It does the same thing as RelationClearRelation(rebuild==true)
does when outside a transaction, but can be called without
incrementing the refcount.
Add regression test. Before this fix, it failed with:

0452b461bc made optimizer explore alternative orderings of group-by pathkeys.
It eliminated preprocess_groupclause(), which was intended to match items
between GROUP BY and ORDER BY. Instead, get_useful_group_keys_orderings()
function generates orderings of GROUP BY elements at the time of grouping
paths generation. The get_useful_group_keys_orderings() function takes into
account 3 orderings of GROUP BY pathkeys and clauses: original order as written
in GROUP BY, matching ORDER BY clauses as much as possible, and matching the
input path as much as possible. Given that even before 0452b461b,
preprocess_groupclause() could change the original order of GROUP BY clauses
we don't need to consider it apart from ordering matching ORDER BY clauses.
This commit restores preprocess_groupclause() to provide an ordering of
GROUP BY elements matching ORDER BY before generation of paths. The new
version of preprocess_groupclause() takes into account an incremental sort.
The get_useful_group_keys_orderings() function now takes into 2 orderings of
GROUP BY elements: the order generated preprocess_groupclause() and the order
matching the input path as much as possible.

Concurrent activity around replication slot creation and drop could
cause a replication slot to use a stats entry it should not have used
when created, triggering an assertion failure when retrieving an
inconsistent entry from the dshash table used by the stats facility.
The issue is that pgstat_drop_replslot() calls pgstat_drop_entry()
without checking the result. If pgstat_drop_entry() cannot free the
entry related to the object dropped, pgstat_request_entry_refs_gc()
should be called. AtEOXact_PgStat_DroppedStats() and surrounding
routines dropping stats entries already do that.
This is documented in pgstat_internal.h, but let's add a comment at the
top of pgstat_drop_entry() as that can be easy to miss.

In a procedure or function returning tuple, we use that function to
parse the Tcl script's result, which is supposed to be a Tcl list.
If it isn't, you get an error. Commit 26abb50c4 incautiously
supposed that we could use throw_tcl_error() to report such an error.
That doesn't actually work, because low-level functions like
Tcl_ListObjGetElements() don't fill Tcl's errorInfo variable.
The result is either a null-pointer-dereference crash or emission
of misleading context information describing the previous Tcl error.
Back off to just reporting the interpreter's result string, and
improve throw_tcl_error()'s comment to explain when to use it.
Also, although the similar code in pltcl_trigger_handler() avoided
this mistake, it was using a fairly confusing wording of the
error message. Improve that while we're here.

The function invokes SearchSysCacheAttNum() and SearchSysCacheAttName().
They may respectively return 0 for the attribute number or NULL for

dereferences currently, but let's stick to the practice of making sure

Coverity complains that ECPGdebug is accessing debugstream without
holding debug_mutex, which is a fair complaint: we should take
debug_mutex while changing the settings ecpg_log looks at.
In some branches it also complains about unlocked use of simple_debug.
I think it's intentional and safe to have a quick unlocked check of
simple_debug at the start of ecpg_log, since that early exit will
always be taken in non-debug cases. But we should recheck
simple_debug after acquiring the mutex. In the worst case, calling
ECPGdebug concurrently with ecpg_log in another thread could result
in a null-pointer dereference due to debugstream transiently being
NULL while simple_debug isn't 0.
This is largely hypothetical, since it's unlikely anybody uses
ECPGdebug() at all in the field, and our own regression tests
don't seem to be hitting the theoretical race conditions either.
Still, if we're going to the trouble of having mutexes here, we ought
to be using them in a way that's actually safe not just almost safe.
Hence, back-patch to all supported branches.
