2069e6faa0 Clean up assorted messiness around AllocateDir() usage.
This patch fixes a couple of low-probability bugs that could lead to
reporting an irrelevant errno value (and hence possibly a wrong SQLSTATE)
concerning directory-open or file-open failures.  It also fixes places
where we took shortcuts in reporting such errors, either by using elog
instead of ereport or by using ereport but forgetting to specify an
errcode.  And it eliminates a lot of just plain redundant error-handling
code.

In service of all this, export fd.c's formerly-static function
ReadDirExtended, so that external callers can make use of the coding
pattern

	dir = AllocateDir(path);
	while ((de = ReadDirExtended(dir, path, LOG)) != NULL)

if they'd like to treat directory-open failures as mere LOG conditions
rather than errors.  Also fix FreeDir to be a no-op if we reach it
with dir == NULL, as such a coding pattern would cause.

Then, remove code at many call sites that was throwing an error or log
message for AllocateDir failure, as ReadDir or ReadDirExtended can handle
that job just fine.  Aside from being a net code savings, this gets rid of
a lot of not-quite-up-to-snuff reports, as mentioned above.  (In some
places these changes result in replacing a custom error message such as
"could not open tablespace directory" with more generic wording "could not
open directory", but it was agreed that the custom wording buys little as
long as we report the directory name.)  In some other call sites where we
can't just remove code, change the error reports to be fully
project-style-compliant.

Also reorder code in restoreTwoPhaseData that was acquiring a lock
between AllocateDir and ReadDir; in the unlikely but surely not
impossible case that LWLockAcquire changes errno, AllocateDir failures
would be misreported.  There is no great value in opening the directory
before acquiring TwoPhaseStateLock, so just do it in the other order.

Also fix CheckXLogRemoved to guarantee that it preserves errno,
as quite a number of call sites are implicitly assuming.  (Again,
it's unlikely but I think not impossible that errno could change
during a SpinLockAcquire.  If so, this function was broken for its
own purposes as well as breaking callers.)

And change a few places that were using not-per-project-style messages,
such as "could not read directory" when "could not open directory" is
more correct.

Back-patch the exporting of ReadDirExtended, in case we have occasion
to back-patch some fix that makes use of it; it's not needed right now
but surely making it global is pretty harmless.  Also back-patch the
restoreTwoPhaseData and CheckXLogRemoved fixes.  The rest of this is
essentially cosmetic and need not get back-patched.

SharedFileSet allows temporary files to be created by one backend and
then exported for read-only access by other backends, with clean-up

e4128ee767 SQL procedures
This adds a new object type "procedure" that is similar to a function
but does not have a return type and is invoked by the new CALL statement
instead of SELECT or similar.  This implementation is aligned with the
SQL standard and compatible with or similar to other SQL implementations.

This commit adds new commands CALL, CREATE/ALTER/DROP PROCEDURE, as well
as ALTER/DROP ROUTINE that can refer to either a function or a
procedure (or an aggregate function, as an extension to SQL).  There is
also support for procedures in various utility commands such as COMMENT
and GRANT, as well as support in pg_dump and psql.  Support for defining
procedures is available in all the languages supplied by the core
distribution.

While this commit is mainly syntax sugar around existing functionality,
future features will rely on having procedures as a separate object
type.

9a785ad573 Fix creation of resjunk tlist entries for inherited mixed UPDATE/DELETE.
rewriteTargetListUD's processing is dependent on the relkind of the query's
target table.  That was fine at the time it was made to act that way, even
for queries on inheritance trees, because all tables in an inheritance tree
would necessarily be plain tables.  However, the 9.5 feature addition
allowing some members of an inheritance tree to be foreign tables broke the
assumption that rewriteTargetListUD's output tlist could be applied to all
child tables with nothing more than column-number mapping.  This led to
visible failures if foreign child tables had row-level triggers, and would
also break in cases where child tables belonged to FDWs that used methods
other than CTID for row identification.

To fix, delay running rewriteTargetListUD until after the planner has
expanded inheritance, so that it is applied separately to the (already
mapped) tlist for each child table.  We can conveniently call it from
preprocess_targetlist.  Refactor associated code slightly to avoid the
need to heap_open the target relation multiple times during
preprocess_targetlist.  (The APIs remain a bit ugly, particularly around
the point of which steps scribble on parse->targetList and which don't.
But avoiding such scribbling would require a change in FDW callback APIs,
which is more pain than it's worth.)

Also fix ExecModifyTable to ensure that "tupleid" is reset to NULL when
we transition from rows providing a CTID to rows that don't.  (That's
really an independent bug, but it manifests in much the same cases.)

Add a regression test checking one manifestation of this problem, which
was that row-level triggers on a foreign child table did not work right.

Back-patch to 9.5 where the problem was introduced.

8735978e7a Pad XLogReaderState's main_data buffer more aggressively.
Originally, we palloc'd this buffer just barely big enough to hold the
largest xlog record seen so far.  It turns out that that can result in
valgrind complaints, because some compilers will emit code that assumes
it can safely fetch padding bytes at the end of a struct, and those
padding bytes were unallocated so far as aset.c was concerned.  We can
fix that by MAXALIGN'ing the palloc request size, ensuring that it is big
enough to include any possible padding that might've been omitted from
the on-disk record.

An additional objection to the original coding is that it could result in
many repeated palloc cycles, in the worst case where we see a series of
gradually larger xlog records.  We can ameliorate that cheaply by
imposing a minimum buffer size that's large enough for most xlog records.
BLCKSZ/2 was chosen after a bit of discussion.

In passing, remove an obsolete comment in struct xl_heap_new_cid that the
combocid field is free due to alignment considerations.  Perhaps that was
true at some point, but it's not now.

the possibility of resurrecting BufFileCreate().  But it left that
function in place, as well as a bunch of comments describing how things

that seems not to be the consensus position, so leave it as-is.

In passing, fix commit f0828b2fc's failure to update BufFileSeek's

09a777447a Clean up warnings in MinGW builds.
Experimentation with modern MinGW (specifically the 5.0.2 version packaged
for Fedora 26) shows that its version of sys/stat.h *does* provide S_IRGRP
and friends, contrary to the expectation of win32_port.h.  This results in
an astonishing number of compiler warnings, and perhaps in incorrect code
--- I'm not sure if the nonzero values supplied by MinGW's header actually
do anything.  Hence, adjust win32_port.h to only define these macros if
<sys/stat.h> doesn't.

This might be worth back-patching, but given the lack of complaints so
far, I'm not too excited about it.

687f096ea9 Make PL/Python handle domain-type conversions correctly.
Fix PL/Python so that it can handle domains over composite, and so that
it enforces domain constraints correctly in other cases that were not
always done properly before.  Notably, it didn't do arrays of domains
right (oversight in commit c12d570fa), and it failed to enforce domain
constraints when returning a composite type containing a domain field,
and if a transform function is being used for a domain's base type then
it failed to enforce domain constraints on the result.  Also, in many
places it missed checking domain constraints on null values, because
the plpy_typeio code simply wasn't called for Py_None.

Rather than try to band-aid these problems, I made a significant
refactoring of the plpy_typeio logic.  The existing design of recursing
for array and composite members is extended to also treat domains as
containers requiring recursion, and the APIs for the module are cleaned
up and simplified.

The patch also modifies plpy_typeio to rely on the typcache more than
it did before (which was pretty much not at all).  This reduces the
need for repetitive lookups, and lets us get rid of an ad-hoc scheme
for detecting changes in composite types.  I added a couple of small
features to typcache to help with that.

Although some of this is fixing bugs that long predate v11, I don't
think we should risk a back-patch: it's a significant amount of code
churn, and there've been no complaints from the field about the bugs.

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.

compiler (not libraries), such as attributes, and collect stuff there
that had been dropped into various other parts of c.h.  Also, push
all the gettext macros into section 8, so that section 0 is really
just inclusions rather than inclusions and random other stuff.

The primary goal here is to get pg_attribute_aligned() defined before
section 3, so that we can use it with int128.  But this seems like good
cleanup anyway.

This patch just moves macro definitions around, and shouldn't result
in any changes in generated code.  But I'll push it out separately

e64861c79b Track in the plan the types associated with PARAM_EXEC parameters.
Up until now, we only tracked the number of parameters, which was
sufficient to allocate an array of Datums of the appropriate size,
but not sufficient to, for example, know how to serialize a Datum
stored in one of those slots.  An upcoming patch wants to do that,
so add this tracking to make it possible.

Patch by me, reviewed by Tom Lane and Amit Kapila.

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.

ae20b23a9e Refactor permissions checks for large objects.
Up to now, ACL checks for large objects happened at the level of
the SQL-callable functions, which led to CVE-2017-7548 because of a
missing check.  Push them down to be enforced in inv_api.c as much
as possible, in hopes of preventing future bugs.  This does have the
effect of moving read and write permission errors to happen at lo_open
time not loread or lowrite time, but that seems acceptable.

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
want such behavior, now you can get it with GRANT ... TO PUBLIC instead.

2eb4a831e5 Change TRUE/FALSE to true/false
The lower case spellings are C and C++ standard and are used in most
parts of the PostgreSQL sources.  The upper case spellings are only used
in some files/modules.  So standardize on the standard spellings.

The APIs for ICU, Perl, and Windows define their own TRUE and FALSE, so
those are left as is when using those APIs.

In code comments, we use the lower-case spelling for the C concepts and
keep the upper-case spelling for the SQL concepts.

87b2ebd352 Always require SELECT permission for ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE.
The update path of an INSERT ... ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE requires SELECT
permission on the columns of the arbiter index, but it failed to check
for that in the case of an arbiter specified by constraint name.

In addition, for a table with row level security enabled, it failed to
check updated rows against the table's SELECT policies when the update
path was taken (regardless of how the arbiter index was specified).

Backpatch to 9.5 where ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE and RLS were introduced.

7b6c075471 Teach planner to account for HAVING quals in aggregation plan nodes.
For some reason, we have never accounted for either the evaluation cost
or the selectivity of filter conditions attached to Agg and Group nodes
(which, in practice, are always conditions from a HAVING clause).

Applying our regular selectivity logic to post-grouping conditions is a
bit bogus, but it's surely better than taking the selectivity as 1.0.
Perhaps someday the extended-statistics mechanism can be taught to provide
statistics that would help us in getting non-default estimates here.

Per a gripe from Benjamin Coutu.  This is surely a bug fix, but I'm
hesitant to back-patch because of the prospect of destabilizing existing
plan choices.  Given that it took us this long to notice the bug, it's
probably not hurting too many people in the field.

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.

af20e2d728 Fix ALTER TABLE code to update domain constraints when needed.
It's possible for dropping a column, or altering its type, to require
changes in domain CHECK constraint expressions; but the code was
previously only expecting to find dependent table CHECK constraints.
Make the necessary adjustments.

This is a fairly old oversight, but it's a lot easier to encounter
the problem in the context of domains over composite types than it
was before.  Given the lack of field complaints, I'm not going to
bother with a back-patch, though I'd be willing to reconsider that
decision if someone does complain.
