e89a71fb44 Pass InitPlan values to workers via Gather (Merge).
If a PARAM_EXEC parameter is used below a Gather (Merge) but the InitPlan
that computes it is attached to or above the Gather (Merge), force the
value to be computed before starting parallelism and pass it down to all
workers.  This allows us to use parallelism in cases where it previously
would have had to be rejected as unsafe.  We do - in this case - lose the
optimization that the value is only computed if it's actually used.  An
alternative strategy would be to have the first worker that needs the value
compute it, but one downside of that approach is that we'd then need to
select a parallel-safe path to compute the parameter value; it couldn't for
example contain a Gather (Merge) node.  At some point in the future, we
might want to consider both approaches.

Independent of that consideration, there is a great deal more work that
could be done to make more kinds of PARAM_EXEC parameters parallel-safe.
This infrastructure could be used to allow a Gather (Merge) on the inner
side of a nested loop (although that's not a very appealing plan) and
cases where the InitPlan is attached below the Gather (Merge) could be
addressed as well using various techniques.  But this is a good start.

7518049980 Prevent int128 from requiring more than MAXALIGN alignment.
Our initial work with int128 neglected alignment considerations, an
oversight that came back to bite us in bug #14897 from Vincent Lachenal.
It is unsurprising that int128 might have a 16-byte alignment requirement;
what's slightly more surprising is that even notoriously lax Intel chips
sometimes enforce that.

Raising MAXALIGN seems out of the question: the costs in wasted disk and
memory space would be significant, and there would also be an on-disk
compatibility break.  Nor does it seem very practical to try to allow some
data structures to have more-than-MAXALIGN alignment requirement, as we'd
have to push knowledge of that throughout various code that copies data
structures around.

The only way out of the box is to make type int128 conform to the system's
alignment assumptions.  Fortunately, gcc supports that via its
__attribute__(aligned()) pragma; and since we don't currently support
int128 on non-gcc-workalike compilers, we shouldn't be losing any platform
support this way.

Although we could have just done pg_attribute_aligned(MAXIMUM_ALIGNOF) and
called it a day, I did a little bit of extra work to make the code more
portable than that: it will also support int128 on compilers without
__attribute__(aligned()), if the native alignment of their 128-bit-int
type is no more than that of int64.

Add a regression test case that exercises the one known instance of the
problem, in parallel aggregation over a bigint column.

This will need to be back-patched, along with the preparatory commit
91aec93e6.  But let's see what the buildfarm makes of it first.

1aba8e651a Add hash partitioning.
Hash partitioning is useful when you want to partition a growing data
set evenly.  This can be useful to keep table sizes reasonable, which
makes maintenance operations such as VACUUM faster, or to enable
partition-wise join.

At present, we still depend on constraint exclusion for partitioning
pruning, and the shape of the partition constraints for hash
partitioning is such that that doesn't work.  Work is underway to fix
that, which should both improve performance and make partitioning
pruning work with hash partitioning.

5ecc0d738e Restrict lo_import()/lo_export() via SQL permissions not hard-wired checks.
While it's generally unwise to give permissions on these functions to
anyone but a superuser, we've been moving away from hard-wired permission
checks inside functions in favor of using the SQL permission system to
control access.  Bring lo_import() and lo_export() into compliance with
that approach.

In particular, this removes the manual configuration option
ALLOW_DANGEROUS_LO_FUNCTIONS.  That dates back to 1999 (commit 4cd4a54c8);
it's unlikely anyone has used it in many years.  Moreover, if you really

7c70996ebf Allow bitmap scans to operate as index-only scans when possible.
If we don't have to return any columns from heap tuples, and there's
no need to recheck qual conditions, and the heap page is all-visible,
then we can skip fetching the heap page altogether.

Skip prefetching pages too, when possible, on the assumption that the
recheck flag will remain the same from one page to the next.  While that
assumption is hardly bulletproof, it seems like a good bet most of the
time, and better than prefetching pages we don't need.

This commit installs the executor infrastructure, but doesn't change
any planner cost estimates, thus possibly causing bitmap scans to
not be chosen in cases where this change renders them the best choice.
I (tgl) am not entirely convinced that we need to account for this
behavior in the planner, because I think typically the bitmap scan would
get chosen anyway if it's the best bet.  In any case the submitted patch
took way too many shortcuts, resulting in too many clearly-bad choices,
to be committable.

d5b760ecb5 Fix crash when columns have been added to the end of a view.
expandRTE() supposed that an RTE_SUBQUERY subquery must have exactly
as many non-junk tlist items as the RTE has column aliases for it.
This was true at the time the code was written, and is still true so
far as parse analysis is concerned --- but when the function is used
during planning, the subquery might have appeared through insertion
of a view that now has more columns than it did when the outer query
was parsed.  This results in a core dump if, for instance, we have
to expand a whole-row Var that references the subquery.

To avoid crashing, we can either stop expanding the RTE when we run
out of aliases, or invent new aliases for the added columns.  While
the latter might be more useful, the former is consistent with what
expandRTE() does for composite-returning functions in the RTE_FUNCTION
case, so it seems like we'd better do it that way.

Per bug #14876 from Samuel Horwitz.  This has been busted since commit
ff1ea2173 allowed views to acquire more columns, so back-patch to all

fact that it was only working for custom plans, where the parameter
value has been substituted for the parameter itself early enough
that everything worked.  In a generic plan, the Param node survives
and must be treated as parallel-safe.  SerializeParamList provides
for the transmission of parameter values to workers.

6784d7a1dc Rethink the dependencies recorded for FieldSelect/FieldStore nodes.
On closer investigation, commits f3ea3e3e8 et al were a few bricks
shy of a load.  What we need is not so much to lock down the result
type of a FieldSelect, as to lock down the existence of the column
it's trying to extract.  Otherwise, we can break it by dropping that
column.  The dependency on the result type is then held indirectly
through the column, and doesn't need to be recorded explicitly.

Out of paranoia, I left in the code to record a dependency on the
result type, but it's used only if we can't identify the pg_class OID
for the column.  That shouldn't ever happen right now, AFAICS, but
it seems possible that in future the input node could be marked as
being of type RECORD rather than some specific composite type.

Likewise for FieldStore.

37a795a60b Support domains over composite types.
This is the last major omission in our domains feature: you can now
make a domain over anything that's not a pseudotype.

The major complication from an implementation standpoint is that places
that might be creating tuples of a domain type now need to be prepared
to apply domain_check().  It seems better that unprepared code fail
with an error like "<type> is not composite" than that it silently fail
to apply domain constraints.  Therefore, relevant infrastructure like
get_func_result_type() and lookup_rowtype_tupdesc() has been adjusted
to treat domain-over-composite as a distinct case that unprepared code
won't recognize, rather than just transparently treating it the same
as plain composite.  This isn't a 100% solution to the possibility of
overlooked domain checks, but it catches most places.

In passing, improve typcache.c's support for domains (it can now cache
the identity of a domain's base type), and rewrite the argument handling
logic in jsonfuncs.c's populate_record[set]_worker to reduce duplicative
per-call lookups.

I believe this is code-complete so far as the core and contrib code go.
The PLs need varying amounts of work, which will be tackled in followup
patches.

08f1e1f0a4 Make setrefs.c match by ressortgroupref even for plain Vars.
Previously, we skipped using search_indexed_tlist_for_sortgroupref()
if the tlist expression being sought in the child plan node was merely
a Var.  This is purely an optimization, based on the theory that
search_indexed_tlist_for_var() is faster, and one copy of a Var should
be as good as another.  However, the GROUPING SETS patch broke the
latter assumption: grouping columns containing the "same" Var can
sometimes have different outputs, as shown in the test case added here.
So do it the hard way whenever a ressortgroupref marking exists.

(If this seems like a bottleneck, we could imagine building a tlist index
data structure for ressortgroupref values, as we do for Vars.  But I'll
let that idea go until there's some evidence it's worthwhile.)

Back-patch to 9.6.  The problem also exists in 9.5 where GROUPING SETS
came in, but this patch is insufficient to resolve the problem in 9.5:
there is some obscure dependency on the upper-planner-pathification
work that happened in 9.6.  Given that this is such a weird corner case,
and no end users have complained about it, it doesn't seem worth the work
to develop a fix for 9.5.

896eb5efbd In the planner, delete joinaliasvars lists after we're done with them.
Although joinaliasvars lists coming out of the parser are quite simple,
those lists can contain arbitrarily complex expressions after subquery
pullup.  We do not perform expression preprocessing on them, meaning that
expressions in those lists will not meet the expectations of later phases
of the planner (for example, that they do not contain SubLinks).  This had
been thought pretty harmless, since we don't intentionally touch those
lists in later phases --- but Andreas Seltenreich found a case in which
adjust_appendrel_attrs() could recurse into a joinaliasvars list and then
die on its assertion that it never sees a SubLink.  We considered a couple
of localized fixes to prevent that specific case from looking at the
joinaliasvars lists, but really this seems like a generic hazard for all
expression processing in the planner.  Therefore, probably the best answer
is to delete the joinaliasvars lists from the parsetree at the end of
expression preprocessing, so that there are no reachable expressions that
haven't been through preprocessing.

The case Andreas found seems to be harmless in non-Assert builds, and so
far there are no field reports suggesting that there are user-visible
effects in other cases.  I considered back-patching this anyway, but
it turns out that Andreas' test doesn't fail at all in 9.4-9.6, because
in those versions adjust_appendrel_attrs contains code (added in commit
842faa714 and removed again in commit 215b43cdc) to process SubLinks
rather than complain about them.  Barring discovery of another path by
which unprocessed joinaliasvars lists can cause trouble, the most
prudent compromise seems to be to patch this into v10 but not further.

Patch by me, with thanks to Amit Langote for initial investigation
and review.

36ea99c84d Fix typcache's failure to treat ranges as container types.
Like the similar logic for arrays and records, it's necessary to examine
the range's subtype to decide whether the range type can support hashing.
We can omit checking the subtype for btree-defined operations, though,
since range subtypes are required to have those operations.  (Possibly
that simplification for btree cases led us to overlook that it does
not apply for hash cases.)

This is only an issue if the subtype lacks hash support, which is not
true of any built-in range type, but it's easy to demonstrate a problem
with a range type over, eg, money: you can get a "could not identify
a hash function" failure when the planner is misled into thinking that
hash join or aggregation would work.

This was born broken, so back-patch to all supported branches.

7421f4b89a Fix incorrect handling of CTEs and ENRs as DML target relations.
setTargetTable threw an error if the proposed target RangeVar's relname
matched any visible CTE or ENR.  This breaks backwards compatibility in
the CTE case, since pre-v10 we never looked for a CTE here at all, so that
CTE names did not mask regular tables.  It does seem like a good idea to
throw an error for the ENR case, though, thus causing ENRs to mask tables
for this purpose; ENRs are new in v10 so we're not breaking existing code,
and we may someday want to allow them to be the targets of DML.

To fix that, replace use of getRTEForSpecialRelationTypes, which was
overkill anyway, with use of scanNameSpaceForENR.

A second problem was that the check neglected to verify null schemaname,
so that a CTE or ENR could incorrectly be thought to match a qualified
RangeVar.  That happened because getRTEForSpecialRelationTypes relied
on its caller to have checked for null schemaname.  Even though the one
remaining caller got it right, this is obviously bug-prone, so move
the check inside getRTEForSpecialRelationTypes.

Also, revert commit 18ce3a4ab's extremely poorly thought out decision to
add a NULL return case to parserOpenTable --- without either documenting
that or adjusting any of the callers to check for it.  The current bug
seems to have arisen in part due to working around that bad idea.

In passing, remove the one-line shim functions transformCTEReference and
transformENRReference --- they don't seem to be adding any clarity or
functionality.

.l files where the generated code appears by lcov exclusion markers.
That way, lcov will typically only reported on coverage for the .l file,
which is under our control, but not for the .c file.

be0ebb65f5 Allow the built-in ordered-set aggregates to share transition state.
The built-in OSAs all share the same transition function, so they can
share transition state as long as the final functions cooperate to not
do the sort step more than once.  To avoid running the tuplesort object
in randomAccess mode unnecessarily, add a bit of infrastructure to
nodeAgg.c to let the aggregate functions find out whether the transition
state is actually being shared or not.

This doesn't work for the hypothetical aggregates, since those inject
a hypothetical row that isn't traceable to the shared input state.
So they remain marked aggfinalmodify = 'w'.

c3dfe0fec0 Repair breakage of aggregate FILTER option.
An aggregate's input expression(s) are not supposed to be evaluated
at all for a row where its FILTER test fails ... but commit 8ed3f11bb
overlooked that requirement.  Reshuffle so that aggregates having a
filter clause evaluate their arguments separately from those without.
This still gets the benefit of doing only one ExecProject in the
common case of multiple Aggrefs, none of which have filters.

While at it, arrange for filter clauses to be included in the common
ExecProject evaluation, thus perhaps buying a little bit even when
there are filters.

Back-patch to v10 where the bug was introduced.

4de2d4fba3 Explicitly track whether aggregate final functions modify transition state.
Up to now, there's been hard-wired assumptions that normal aggregates'
final functions never modify their transition states, while ordered-set
aggregates' final functions always do.  This has always been a bit
limiting, and in particular it's getting in the way of improving the
built-in ordered-set aggregates to allow merging of transition states.
Therefore, let's introduce catalog and CREATE AGGREGATE infrastructure
that lets the finalfn's behavior be declared explicitly.

There are now three possibilities for the finalfn behavior: it's purely
read-only, it trashes the transition state irrecoverably, or it changes
the state in such a way that no more transfn calls are possible but the
state can still be passed to other, compatible finalfns.  There are no
examples of this third case today, but we'll shortly make the built-in
OSAs act like that.

This change allows user-defined aggregates to explicitly disclaim support
for use as window functions, and/or to prevent transition state merging,
if their implementations cannot handle that.  While it was previously
possible to handle the window case with a run-time error check, there was
not any way to prevent transition state merging, which in retrospect is
something commit 804163bc2 should have provided for.  But better late
than never.

In passing, split out pg_aggregate.c's extern function declarations into
a new header file pg_aggregate_fn.h, similarly to what we've done for
some other catalog headers, so that pg_aggregate.h itself can be safe
for frontend files to include.  This lets pg_dump use the symbolic
names for relevant constants.

b81eba6a65 Add missing options to pg_regress help() output
A few command line options accepted by pg_regress were not being output
by help(), including --help itself. Add that one, as well as --version
and --bindir, and the corresponding short options for the first two.

We could consider this for backpatching, but it did not seem worthwhile
and no one else advocated for it, so apply only to master for now.

52328727be Prevent sharing transition states between ordered-set aggregates.
This ought to work, but the built-in OSAs are not capable of coping,
because their final-functions destructively modify their transition
state (specifically, the contained tuplesort object).  That was fine
when those functions were written, but commit 804163bc2 moved the
goalposts without telling orderedsetaggs.c.

We should fix the built-in OSAs to support this, but it will take
a little work, especially if we don't want to sacrifice performance
in the normal non-shared-state case.  Given that it took a year after
9.6 release for anyone to notice this bug, we should not prioritize
sharable-state over nonsharable-state performance.  And a proper fix
is likely to be more complicated than we'd want to back-patch, too.

Therefore, let's just put in this stop-gap patch to prevent nodeAgg.c
from choosing to use shared state for OSAs.  We can revert it in HEAD
when we get a better fix.

Back-patch to 9.6 where the problem was introduced.

8ec5429e2f Reduce "X = X" to "X IS NOT NULL", if it's easy to do so.
If the operator is a strict btree equality operator, and X isn't volatile,
then the clause must yield true for any non-null value of X, or null if X
is null.  At top level of a WHERE clause, we can ignore the distinction
between false and null results, so it's valid to simplify the clause to
"X IS NOT NULL".  This is a useful improvement mainly because we'll get
a far better selectivity estimate in most cases.

Because such cases seldom arise in well-written queries, it is unappetizing
to expend a lot of planner cycles looking for them ... but it turns out
that there's a place we can shoehorn this in practically for free, because
equivclass.c already has to detect and reject candidate equivalences of the
form X = X.  That doesn't catch every place that it would be valid to
simplify to X IS NOT NULL, but it catches the typical case.  Working harder
doesn't seem justified.

b11f0d36b2 Improve pg_regress's error reporting for schedule-file problems.
The previous coding here trashed the line buffer as it scanned it,
making it impossible to print the source line in subsequent error
messages.  With a few save/restore/strdup pushups we can improve
that situation.

In passing, move the free'ing of the various strings that are collected
while processing one set of tests down to the bottom of the loop.
That's simpler, less surprising, and should make valgrind less unhappy
about the strings that were previously leaked by the last iteration.

We have a very old rule that parallel_schedule should have no more
than twenty tests in any one parallel group, so as to provide a
bound on the number of concurrently running processes needed to
pass the tests.  But people keep forgetting the rule, so let's add
a few lines of code to check it.

1fdab4d5aa Clean up sloppy maintenance of regression test schedule files.
The partition_join test was added to a parallel group that was already
at the maximum of 20 concurrent tests.  The hash_func test wasn't
added to serial_schedule at all.  The identity and partition_join tests
were added to serial_schedule with the aid of a dartboard, rather than
maintaining consistency with parallel_schedule.

There are proposals afoot to make these sorts of errors harder to make,
but in the meantime let's fix the ones already in place.
