Introduce TimestampDifferenceMilliseconds() to simplify callers
that would rather have the difference in milliseconds, instead of
the select()-oriented seconds-and-microseconds format. This gets
rid of at least one integer division per call, and it eliminates
some apparently-easy-to-mess-up arithmetic.
Two of these call sites were in fact wrong:
* pg_prewarm's autoprewarm_main() forgot to multiply the seconds
by 1000, thus ending up with a delay 1000X shorter than intended.
That doesn't quite make it a busy-wait, but close.
* postgres_fdw's pgfdw_get_cleanup_result() thought it needed to compute
microseconds not milliseconds, thus ending up with a delay 1000X longer
than intended. Somebody along the way had noticed this problem but
misdiagnosed the cause, and imposed an ad-hoc 60-second limit rather
than fixing the units. This was relatively harmless in context, because
we don't care that much about exactly how long this delay is; still,
it's wrong.
There are a few more callers of TimestampDifference() that don't
have a direct need for seconds-and-microseconds, but can't use
TimestampDifferenceMilliseconds() either because they do need
microsecond precision or because they might possibly deal with
intervals long enough to overflow 32-bit milliseconds. It might be
worth inventing another API to improve that, but that seems outside
the scope of this patch; so those callers are untouched here.
Given the fact that we are fixing some bugs, and the likelihood
that future patches might want to back-patch code that uses this
new API, back-patch to all supported branches.

Summarily changing the STYPE of regression-test aggregates that

It's entirely possible to see WAL for a relation that doesn't exist in
the target anymore. That happens when the relation was dropped later.
The refactoring in commit eb00f1d4b broke that case, by sanity-checking
the file type in the target before checking the flag forwhether it
exists there at all.
I noticed this during manual testing. Modify the 001_basic.pl test so

LLVM 12, to be released in a few months, made some breaking changes to

This commit is a bit bigger than desirable. That partially is because
the V2 interface is more granular than V1 interface, but also because
I chose to make some minor changes to < LLVM 12 code to keep the code

Remove a CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() call that could never actually handle an
interrupt. We always have a heap page buffer lock at this point.
Having a useless CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() call is harmless but misleading.
It is probably possible to work around the immediate problem by moving
the CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() to before the heap page buffer lock is
acquired. That isn't enough to make the function responsive to
interrupts, though. The index AM caller will still hold an exclusive
buffer lock of its own.
If an interactive psql session used \gset when querying a compromised

This back-patches commit 20d3fe900 into the v12 and v13 branches.
At the time I thought that commit was not fixing any observable
bug, but Bertrand Drouvot showed otherwise: adding a dropped column
to the previously-considered scenario crashes v12 and v13, unless the
dropped column happens to be an integer. That is, of course, because
the tupdesc we derive from the plan output tlist fails to describe
the dropped column accurately, so that we'll do the wrong thing with
a tuple in which that column isn't NULL.
There is no bug in pre-v12 branches because they already did use
the table's real tuple descriptor for any trigger-returned tuple.
It seems that this set of bugs can be blamed on the changes that
removed es_trig_tuple_slot, though I've not attempted to pin that
down precisely.
Although there's no code change needed in HEAD, update the test case
to include a dropped column there too.

The buildfarm thinks this leads to memory stomps, though annoyingly
I can't duplicate that here. The existing code in strings.pgc is
doing something that doesn't seem to be sanctioned at all really
by the documentation, but I'm disinclined to try to make that nicer
right now. Let's just declare some more output variables in hopes
of working around it.
These were broken in multiple ways:
* The xbstart and xhstart lexer actions neglected to set
"state_before_str_start" before transitioning to the xb/xh states,
thus possibly resulting in "internal error: unreachable state" later.
* The test for valid string contents at the end of xb state was flat out
wrong, as it accounted incorrectly for the "b" prefix that the xbstart
action had injected. Meanwhile, the xh state had no such check at all.
* The generated literal value failed to include any quote marks.
* The grammar did the wrong thing anyway, typically ignoring the
literal value and emitting something else, since BCONST and XCONST
tokens were handled randomly differently from SCONST tokens.
The first of these problems is evidently an oversight in commit
7f380c59f, but the others seem to be very ancient. The lack of
complaints shows that ECPG users aren't using these syntaxes much
(although I do vaguely remember one previous complaint).
As written, this patch is dependent on 7f380c59f, so it can't go
back further than v13. Given the shortage of complaints, I'm not
excited about adapting the patch to prior branches.

brin_form_tuple failed to consider the values may be toasted, inserting
the toast pointer into the index. This may easily result in index
corruption, as the toast data may be deleted and cleaned up by vacuum.
The cleanup however does not care about indexes, leaving invalid toast
pointers behind, which triggers errors like this:
ERROR: missing chunk number 0 for toast value 16433 in pg_toast_16426
A less severe consequence are inconsistent failures due to the index row
being too large, depending on whether brin_form_tuple operated on plain
or toasted version of the row. For example
CREATE TABLE t (val TEXT);
INSERT INTO t VALUES ('... long value ...')
CREATE INDEX idx ON t USING brin (val);
would likely succeed, as the row would likely include toast pointer.
Switching the order of INSERT and CREATE INDEX would likely fail:
ERROR: index row size 8712 exceeds maximum 8152 for index "idx"
because this happens before the row values are toasted.
The bug exists since PostgreSQL 9.5 where BRIN indexes were introduced.

wal_consistency_checking indicated an inconsistency in certain cases

Logic for counting heap TIDs from posting list tuples (added by commit
0d861bbb) was faulty. It didn't count any TIDs/index tuples in the
event of no callback being set. This meant that we incorrectly counted
no index tuples in clean-up only VACUUMs, which could lead to
pg_class.reltuples being spuriously set to 0 in affected indexes.
To fix, go back to counting items from the page in cases where there is
no callback. This approach isn't very accurate, but it works well
enough in practice while avoiding the expense of accessing every index
tuple during cleanup-only VACUUMs.

This allows use of a "default" expression that doesn't slavishly
match the data column's type. Formerly you got something like
"function lag(numeric, integer, integer) does not exist", which
is not just unhelpful but actively misleading.
The SQL spec suggests that the default should be coerced to the data
column's type, but this implementation instead chooses the common
supertype, which seems at least as reasonable.

pg_proc.dat, so this commit includes some cosmetic changes to
recently-added entries that aren't related to lead/lag.)

The SQL spec calls out nonstandard syntax for certain function calls,
for example substring() with numeric position info is supposed to be
spelled "SUBSTRING(string FROM start FOR count)". We accept many
of these things, but up to now would not print them in the same format,
instead simplifying down to "substring"(string, start, count).
That's long annoyed me because it creates an interoperability
problem: we're gratuitously injecting Postgres-specific syntax into
what might otherwise be a perfectly spec-compliant view definition.
However, the real reason for addressing it right now is to support
a planned change in the semantics of EXTRACT() a/k/a date_part().
When we switch that to returning numeric, we'll have the parser
translate EXTRACT() to some new function name (might as well be
"extract" if you ask me) and then teach ruleutils.c to reverse-list
that per SQL spec. In this way existing calls to date_part() will
continue to have the old semantics.
To implement this, invent a new CoercionForm value COERCE_SQL_SYNTAX,
and make the parser insert that rather than COERCE_EXPLICIT_CALL when
the input has SQL-spec decoration. (But if the input has the form of
a plain function call, continue to mark it COERCE_EXPLICIT_CALL, even
if it's calling one of these functions.) Then ruleutils.c recognizes
COERCE_SQL_SYNTAX as a cue to emit SQL call syntax. It can know
which decoration to emit using hard-wired knowledge about the
functions that could be called this way. (While this solution isn't
extensible without manual additions, neither is the grammar, so this
doesn't seem unmaintainable.) Notice that this solution will
reverse-list a function call with SQL decoration only if it was
entered that way; so dump-and-reload will not by itself produce any
changes in the appearance of views.
This requires adding a CoercionForm field to struct FuncCall.
(I couldn't resist the temptation to rearrange that struct's
field order a tad while I was at it.) FuncCall doesn't appear
in stored rules, so that change isn't a reason for a catversion
bump, but I did one anyway because the new enum value for
CoercionForm fields could confuse old backend code.
Possible future work:
* Perhaps CoercionForm should now be renamed to DisplayForm,
or something like that, to reflect its more general meaning.
This'd require touching a couple hundred places, so it's not
clear it's worth the code churn.
* The SQLValueFunction node type, which was invented partly for
the same goal of improving SQL-compatibility of view output,
could perhaps be replaced with regular function calls marked
with COERCE_SQL_SYNTAX. It's unclear if this would be a net
code savings, however.

Gen_fmgrtab.pl treated aggregate functions the same as other built-in
functions, which is wasteful because there is no real need to have
entries for them in the fmgr_builtins[] table. Suppressing those
entries saves about 3KB in the compiled table on my machine; which
is not a lot but it's not nothing either, considering that that
table is pretty "hot". The only outside code change needed is
that ExecInitWindowAgg() can't be allowed to call fmgr_info_cxt()
on a plain aggregate function. But that saves a few cycles anyway.
Having done that, the aggregate_dummy() function is unreferenced
and might as well be dropped. Using "aggregate_dummy" as the prosrc
value for an aggregate is now just a documentation convention not
something that matters. There was some discussion of using NULL
instead to save a few bytes in pg_proc, but we'd have to remove
prosrc's BKI_FORCE_NOT_NULL marking which doesn't seem a great idea.
Anyway, it's possible there's client-side code that expects to
see "aggregate_dummy" there, so I'm loath to change it without a
strong reason.
