pg_constraint.conwithoutoverlaps was recently added to support primary
keys and unique constraints with the WITHOUT OVERLAPS clause. An
upcoming patch provides the foreign-key side of this functionality,
but the syntax there is different and uses the keyword PERIOD. It
would make sense to use the same pg_constraint field for both of
these, but then we should pick a more general name that conveys "this
constraint has a temporal/period-related feature". conperiod works
for that and is nicely compact. Changing this now avoids possibly
having to introduce versioning into clients. Note there are still
some "without overlaps" variables left, which deal specifically with
the parsing of the primary key/unique constraint feature.

Auto-generated array types, multirange types, and relation rowtypes
are treated as dependent objects: they can't be dropped separately
from the base object, nor can they have their own ownership or
permissions. We previously felt that, for objects that are in an
extension, only the base object needs to be listed as an extension
member in pg_depend. While that's sufficient to prevent inappropriate
drops, it results in undesirable answers if someone asks whether a
dependent type belongs to the extension. It looks like the dependent
type is just some random separately-created object that happens to
depend on the base object. Notably, this results in postgres_fdw
concluding that expressions involving an array type are not shippable
to the remote server, even when the defining extension has been
whitelisted.
To fix, cause GenerateTypeDependencies to make extension dependencies
for dependent types as well as their base objects, and adjust
ExecAlterExtensionContentsStmt so that object addition and removal
operations recurse to dependent types. The latter change means that
pg_upgrade of a type-defining extension will end with the dependent
type(s) now also listed as extension members, even if they were
not that way in the source database. Normally we want pg_upgrade
to precisely reproduce the source extension's state, but it seems
desirable to make an exception here.
This is arguably a bug fix, but we can't back-patch it since it
causes changes in the expected contents of pg_depend. (Because
it does, I've bumped catversion, even though there's no change
in the immediate post-initdb catalog contents.)

Now that BackendId was just another index into the proc array, it was
redundant with the 0-based proc numbers used in other places. Replace
all usage of backend IDs with proc numbers.
The only place where the term "backend id" remains is in a few pgstat
functions that expose backend IDs at the SQL level. Those IDs are now
in fact 0-based ProcNumbers too, but the documentation still calls
them "backend ids". That term still seems appropriate to describe what

Previously, backend ID was an index into the ProcState array, in the
shared cache invalidation manager (sinvaladt.c). The entry in the
ProcState array was reserved at backend startup by scanning the array
for a free entry, and that was also when the backend got its backend
ID. Things become slightly simpler if we redefine backend ID to be the
index into the PGPROC array, and directly use it also as an index to
the ProcState array. This uses a little more memory, as we reserve a
few extra slots in the ProcState array for aux processes that don't
need them, but the simplicity is worth it.
Aux processes now also have a backend ID. This simplifies the
reservation of BackendStatusArray and ProcSignal slots.
You can now convert a backend ID into an index into the PGPROC array
simply by subtracting 1. We still use 0-based "pgprocnos" in various
places, for indexes into the PGPROC array, but the only difference now
is that backend IDs start at 1 while pgprocnos start at 0. (The next
commmit will get rid of the term "backend ID" altogether and make
everything 0-based.)
There is still a 'backendId' field in PGPROC, now part of 'vxid' which
encapsulates the backend ID and local transaction ID together. It's
needed for prepared xacts. For regular backends, the backendId is
always equal to pgprocno + 1, but for prepared xact PGPROC entries,
it's the ID of the original backend that processed the transaction.

In the past, FileRead() and FileWrite() used types based on the Unix
read() and write() functions from before C and POSIX standardization,
though not exactly (we had int for amount instead of unsigned). In
commit 2d4f1ba6 we changed to the appropriate standard C types, just
like the modern POSIX functions they wrap, but again not exactly: the
return type stayed as int. In theory, a ssize_t value could be returned
by the underlying call that is too large for an int.
That wasn't really a live bug, because we don't expect PostgreSQL code
to perform reads or writes of gigabytes, and OSes probably apply
internal caps smaller than that anyway. This change is done on the
principle that the return might as well follow the standard interfaces
consistently.

Writing correct code using atomic variables is often difficult due
to the memory barrier semantics (or lack thereof) of the underlying
operations. This commit introduces atomic read/write functions
with full barrier semantics to ease this cognitive load. For
example, some spinlocks protect a single value, and these new
functions make it easy to convert the value to an atomic variable
(thus eliminating the need for the spinlock) without modifying the
barrier semantics previously provided by the spinlock. Since these
functions may be less performant than the other atomic reads and
writes, they are not suitable for every use-case. However, using a
single atomic operation with full barrier semantics may be more
performant in cases where a separate explicit barrier would
otherwise be required.
The base implementations for these new functions are atomic
exchanges (for writes) and atomic fetch/adds with 0 (for reads).
These implementations can be overwritten with better architecture-
specific versions as they are discovered.
This commit leaves converting existing code to use these new
functions as a future exercise.

More precisely, what we do here is make the SLRU cache sizes
configurable with new GUCs, so that sites with high concurrency and big
ranges of transactions in flight (resp. multixacts/subtransactions) can
benefit from bigger caches. In order for this to work with good
performance, two additional changes are made:
1. the cache is divided in "banks" (to borrow terminology from CPU
caches), and algorithms such as eviction buffer search only affect
one specific bank. This forestalls the problem that linear searching
for a specific buffer across the whole cache takes too long: we only
have to search the specific bank, whose size is small. This work is
authored by Andrey Borodin.
2. Change the locking regime for the SLRU banks, so that each bank uses
a separate LWLock. This allows for increased scalability. This work
is authored by Dilip Kumar. (A part of this was previously committed as
d172b717c6f4.)
Special care is taken so that the algorithms that can potentially
traverse more than one bank release one bank's lock before acquiring the
next. This should happen rarely, but particularly clog.c's group commit
feature needed code adjustment to cope with this. I (Álvaro) also added
lots of comments to make sure the design is sound.
The new GUCs match the names introduced by bcdfa5f2e2f2 in the
pg_stat_slru view.
The default values for these parameters are similar to the previous
sizes of each SLRU. commit_ts, clog and subtrans accept value 0, which
means to adjust by dividing shared_buffers by 512 (so 2MB for every 1GB
of shared_buffers), with a cap of 8MB. (A new slru.c function
SimpleLruAutotuneBuffers() was added to support this.) The cap was
previously 1MB for clog, so for sites with more than 512MB of shared
memory the total memory used increases, which is likely a good tradeoff.
However, other SLRUs (notably multixact ones) retain smaller sizes and
don't support a configured value of 0. These values based on
shared_buffers may need to be revisited, but that's an easy change.
There was some resistance to adding these new GUCs: it would be better
to adjust to memory pressure automatically somehow, for example by
stealing memory from shared_buffers (where the caches can grow and
shrink naturally). However, doing that seems to be a much larger
project and one which has made virtually no progress in several years,
and because this is such a pain point for so many users, here we take
the pragmatic approach.

Many modern compilers are able to optimize function calls to functions
where the parameters of the called function match a leading subset of
the calling function's parameters. If there are no instructions in the
calling function after the function is called, then the compiler is free
to avoid any stack frame setup and implement the function call as a
"jmp" rather than a "call". This is called sibling call optimization.
Here we adjust the memory allocation functions in mcxt.c to allow this
optimization. This requires moving some responsibility into the memory
context implementations themselves. It's now the responsibility of the
MemoryContext to check for malloc failures. This is good as it both
allows the sibling call optimization, but also because most small and
medium allocations won't call malloc and just allocate memory to an
existing block. That can't fail, so checking for NULLs in that case
isn't required.
Also, traditionally it's been the responsibility of palloc and the other
allocation functions in mcxt.c to check for invalid allocation size
requests. Here we also move the responsibility of checking that into the
MemoryContext. This isn't to allow the sibling call optimization, but
more because most of our allocators handle large allocations separately
and we can just add the size check when doing large allocations. We no
longer check this for non-large allocations at all.
To make checking the allocation request sizes and ERROR handling easier,
add some helper functions to mcxt.c for the allocators to use.

Presently, string keys are not well-supported for dshash tables.
The dshash code always copies key_size bytes into new entries'
keys, and dshash.h only provides compare and hash functions that
forward to memcmp() and tag_hash(), both of which do not stop at

that the data beyond the first NUL does not adversely affect the
results of copying, comparing, and hashing the keys.
To better support string keys in dshash tables, this commit does
a couple things:
* A new copy_function field is added to the dshash_parameters
struct. This function pointer specifies how the key should be
copied into new table entries. For example, we only want to copy
up to the first NUL byte for string keys. A dshash_memcpy()
helper function is provided and used for all existing in-tree
dshash tables without string keys.
* A set of helper functions for string keys are provided. These
helper functions forward to strcmp(), strcpy(), and
string_hash(), all of which ignore data beyond the first NUL.

The new facility makes it easier to optimize bulk loading, as the
logic for buffering, WAL-logging, and syncing the relation only needs
to be implemented once. It's also less error-prone: We have had a
number of bugs in how a relation is fsync'd - or not - at the end of a
bulk loading operation. By centralizing that logic to one place, we
only need to write it correctly once.
The new facility is faster for small relations: Instead of of calling
smgrimmedsync(), we register the fsync to happen at next checkpoint,
which avoids the fsync latency. That can make a big difference if you
are e.g. restoring a schema-only dump with lots of relations.
It is also slightly more efficient with large relations, as the WAL
logging is performed multiple pages at a time. That avoids some WAL
header overhead. The sorted GiST index build did that already, this
moves the buffering to the new facility.
The changes to pageinspect GiST test needs an explanation: Before this
patch, the sorted GiST index build set the LSN on every page to the
special GistBuildLSN value, not the LSN of the WAL record, even though
they were WAL-logged. There was no particular need for it, it just
happened naturally when we wrote out the pages before WAL-logging
them. Now we WAL-log the pages first, like in B-tree build, so the
pages are stamped with the record's real LSN. When the build is not
WAL-logged, we still use GistBuildLSN. To make the test output
predictable, use an unlogged index.

By enabling slot synchronization, all the failover logical replication
slots on the primary (assuming configurations are appropriate) are
automatically created on the physical standbys and are synced
periodically. The slot sync worker on the standby server pings the primary
server at regular intervals to get the necessary failover logical slots
information and create/update the slots locally. The slots that no longer
require synchronization are automatically dropped by the worker.
The nap time of the worker is tuned according to the activity on the
primary. The slot sync worker waits for some time before the next
synchronization, with the duration varying based on whether any slots were
updated during the last cycle.
A new parameter sync_replication_slots enables or disables this new

On promotion, the slot sync worker is shut down by the startup process to

Allegedly, only certain fields of the Constraint node are valid based
on contype. But this has historically not been kept up to date in the
read/write functions. The Constraint node is only used for debugging
DDL statements, so there are no strong requirements for its output,
and there is no enforcement for its correctness. (There was no read
support before a6bc3301925.) Commits e7a552f303c and abf46ad9c7b are
examples of where omissions were fixed.
This patch just removes the custom read/write implementations for the

functions anymore. Also, we lose the string representation of the

A child table can specify a compression or storage method different
from its parents. This was previously an error. (But this was
inconsistently enforced because for example the settings could be
changed later using ALTER TABLE.) This now also allows an explicit
override if multiple parents have different compression or storage
settings, which was previously an error that could not be overridden.
The compression and storage properties remains unchanged in a child
inheriting from parent(s) after its creation, i.e., when using ALTER
TABLE ... INHERIT. (This is not changed.)
Before this change, the error detail would mention the first pair of
conflicting parent compression or storage methods. But with this
change it waits till the child specification is considered by which
time we may have encountered many such conflicting pairs. Hence the
error detail after this change does not include the conflicting
compression/storage methods. Those can be obtained from parent
definitions if necessary. The code to maintain list of all
conflicting methods or even the first conflicting pair does not seem
worth the convenience it offers. This change is inline with what we
do with conflicting default values.
Before this commit, the specified storage method could be stored in
ColumnDef::storage (CREATE TABLE ... LIKE) or ColumnDef::storage_name

MergeInheritedAttribute() to ignore a storage method specified in the
child definition since it looked only at ColumnDef::storage. This

which is used to synchronize the logical replication slots from the
primary server to the physical standby so that logical replication can be
resumed after a failover or planned switchover.
A new 'synced' flag is introduced in pg_replication_slots view, indicating
whether the slot has been synchronized from the primary server. On a
standby, synced slots cannot be dropped or consumed, and any attempt to
perform logical decoding on them will result in an error.
The logical replication slots on the primary can be synchronized to the
hot standby by using the 'failover' parameter of
pg-create-logical-replication-slot(), or by using the 'failover' option of
CREATE SUBSCRIPTION during slot creation, and then calling
pg_sync_replication_slots() on standby. For the synchronization to work,
it is mandatory to have a physical replication slot between the primary
and the standby aka 'primary_slot_name' should be configured on the
standby, and 'hot_standby_feedback' must be enabled on the standby. It is
also necessary to specify a valid 'dbname' in the 'primary_conninfo'.
If a logical slot is invalidated on the primary, then that slot on the
standby is also invalidated.
If a logical slot on the primary is valid but is invalidated on the
standby, then that slot is dropped but will be recreated on the standby in
the next pg_sync_replication_slots() call provided the slot still exists
on the primary server. It is okay to recreate such slots as long as these
are not consumable on standby (which is the case currently). This
situation may occur due to the following reasons:
- The 'max_slot_wal_keep_size' on the standby is insufficient to retain
WAL records from the restart_lsn of the slot.
- 'primary_slot_name' is temporarily reset to null and the physical slot
is removed.
The slot synchronization status on the standby can be monitored using the
'synced' column of pg_replication_slots view.
A functionality to automatically synchronize slots by a background worker
and allow logical walsenders to wait for the physical will be done in
subsequent commits.

This reverts commit 95fb5b49024, for reasons similar to what led to
1aa8324b81fa. In this case, the callback was called once per row, which
is less worse than the previous callback introduced for COPY TO called
once per argument for each row, still the patch set discussed to plug in
custom routines to the COPY paths would be able to know which subroutine
to use depending on its CopyFromState, so this led to a suboptimal
approach at the end.
For now, this part is reverted to consider better which approach to use.

If available, read directly from WAL buffers, avoiding the need to go
through the filesystem. Only for physical replication for now, but can
be expanded to other callers.
In preparation for replicating unflushed WAL data.

Commit 5579388d removed code that supplied a fallback implementation of
getaddrinfo(), which was dead code on modern systems. One tiny piece of
the removed code was still doing something useful on Windows, though:
that OS's own gai_strerror()/gai_strerrorA() function returns a pointer
to a static buffer that it overwrites each time, so it's not
thread-safe. In rare circumstances, a multi-threaded client program
could get an incorrect or corrupted error message.
Restore the replacement gai_strerror() function, though now that it's
only for Windows we can put it into a win32-specific file and cut it
down to the errors that Windows documents. The error messages here are
taken from FreeBSD, because Windows' own messages seemed too verbose.
Back-patch to 16.

Commit 5b2f4afffe6 refactored find_other_exec() and in the process
created pipe_read_line() into a static routine for reading a single
line of output, aimed at reading version numbers. Commit a7e8ece41
later exposed it externally in order to read a postgresql.conf GUC
using "postgres -C ..". Further, f06b1c598 also made use of it for
reading a version string much like find_other_exec(). The internal
variable remained "pgver", even when used for other purposes.
Since the function requires passing a buffer and its size, and at
most size - 1 bytes will be read via fgets(), there is a truncation
risk when using this for reading GUCs (like how pg_rewind does,
though the risk in this case is marginal).
To keep this as generic functionality for reading a line from a pipe,
this refactors pipe_read_line() into returning an allocated buffer
containing all of the line to remove the risk of silent truncation.

Various int variables were compared to macros that are of type size_t,
which caused -Wsign-compare warnings in cpluspluscheck. Change those
to size_t, which also better describes their purpose.

The standalone functions fasthash{32,64} use length for two purposes:
how many bytes to hash, and how to perturb the internal seed.
Developers using the incremental interface may not know the length
ahead of time (e.g. for C strings). In this case, it's advised to
pass length to the finalizer, but initialization still needed some
length up front, in the form of a placeholder macro.
Separate the concerns by having the standalone functions perturb the
internal seed themselves from their own length parameter, allowing
to remove "len" from fasthash_init(), as well as the placeholder macro.

This patch provides support for regular (non-replication) connections in
libpqrcv_connect(). This can be used to execute SQL statements on the
primary server without starting a walsender.
A new API libpqrcv_get_dbname_from_conninfo() is also added to extract the
database name from the given connection-info.
Note that this patch doesn't change any existing functionality but later
patches implementing the slot synchronization will use this functionality
to connect to the primary server to fetch required slot information.
