If a query against an inheritance tree runs concurrently with an ALTER
TABLE that's disinheriting one of the tree members, it's possible to get
a "could not find inherited attribute" error because after obtaining lock
on the removed member, make_inh_translation_list sees that its columns
have attinhcount=0 and decides they aren't the columns it's looking for.
An ideal fix, perhaps, would avoid including such a just-removed member
table in the query at all; but there seems no way to accomplish that
without adding expensive catalog rechecks or creating a likelihood of
deadlocks. Instead, let's just drop the check on attinhcount. In this
way, a query that's included a just-disinherited child will still
succeed, which is not a completely unreasonable behavior.
This problem has existed for a long time, so back-patch to all supported
branches. Also add an isolation test verifying related behaviors.
Patch by me; the new isolation test is based on Kyotaro Horiguchi's work.

If we flatten a subquery whose target list contains constants or
expressions, when those output columns are used in GROUPING SET columns,
the planner was capable of doing the wrong thing by merging a pulled-up
expression into the surrounding expression during const-simplification.
Then the late processing that attempts to match subexpressions to grouping
sets would fail to match those subexpressions to grouping sets, with the
effect that they'd not go to null when expected.
To fix, wrap such subquery outputs in PlaceHolderVars, ensuring that
they preserve their separate identity throughout the planner's expression
processing. This is a bit of a band-aid, because the wrapper defeats
const-simplification even in places where it would be safe to allow.
But a nicer fix would likely be too invasive to back-patch, and the
consequences of the missed optimizations probably aren't large in most
cases.
Back-patch to 9.5 where grouping sets were introduced.

Commit ab7271677 introduced code that attempts to order the child
scans of a Parallel Append node in a way that will minimize execution
time, based on total cost and startup cost. However, it failed to
think hard about what to do when estimated costs are exactly equal;
a case that's particularly likely to occur when comparing on startup
cost. In such a case the ordering of the child paths would be left
to the whims of qsort, an algorithm that isn't even stable.
We can improve matters by applying the rule used elsewhere in the
planner: if total costs are equal, sort on startup cost, and
vice versa. When both cost estimates are exactly equal, rather
than letting qsort do something unpredictable, sort based on the
child paths' relids, which should typically result in sorting in
inheritance order. (The latter provision requires inventing a
qsort-style comparator for bitmapsets, but maybe we'll have use
for that for other reasons in future.)
This results in a few plan changes in the select_parallel test,
but those all look more reasonable than before, when the actual
underlying cost numbers are taken into account.

I noticed that our code coverage report showed considerable deficiency
in test coverage for PL/pgSQL control statements. Notably, both
exec_stmt_block and most of the loop control statements had very poor
coverage of handling of return/exit/continue result codes from their
child statements; and exec_stmt_fori was seriously lacking in feature
coverage, having no test that exercised its BY or REVERSE features,
nor verification that its overflow defenses work.
Now that we have some infrastructure for plpgsql-specific test scripts,
the natural thing to do is make a new script rather than further extend
plpgsql.sql. So I created a new script plpgsql_control.sql with the
charter to test plpgsql control structures, and moved a few existing
tests there because they fell entirely under that charter. I then
added new test cases that exercise the bits of code complained of above.
Of the five kinds of loop statements, only exec_stmt_while's result code
handling is fully exercised by these tests. That would be a deficiency
as things stand, but a follow-on commit will merge the loop statements'
result code handling into one implementation. So testing each usage of
that implementation separately seems redundant.
In passing, also add a couple test cases to plpgsql.sql to more fully
exercise plpgsql's code related to expanded arrays --- I had thought
that area was sufficiently covered already, but the coverage report
showed a couple of un-executed code paths.

Turns out it's trivial to fix in v10 and later; we just need to be careful

Various Perl scripts we use to generate files were in the habit of
printing things like "generated by $0" into their output files.
That looks like a fine idea at first glance, but it results in
non-reproducible output, because in VPATH builds $0 won't be just
the name of the script file, but a full path for it. We'd prefer
that you get identical results whether using VPATH or not, so this
is a bad thing.
Some of these places also printed their input file name(s), causing
an additional hazard of the same type.
Hence, establish a policy that thou shalt not print $0, nor input file
pathnames, into output files (they're still allowed in error messages,
though). Instead just write the script name verbatim. While we are at
it, we can make these annotations more useful by giving the script's
full relative path name within the PG source tree, eg instead of
Gen_fmgrtab.pl let's print src/backend/utils/Gen_fmgrtab.pl.
Not all of the changes made here actually affect any files shipped
in finished tarballs today, but it seems best to apply the policy
everyplace so that nobody copies unsafe code into places where it
could matter.

Introduce parallel-aware hash joins that appear in EXPLAIN plans as Parallel
Hash Join with Parallel Hash. While hash joins could already appear in
parallel queries, they were previously always parallel-oblivious and had a
partial subplan only on the outer side, meaning that the work of the inner
subplan was duplicated in every worker.
After this commit, the planner will consider using a partial subplan on the
inner side too, using the Parallel Hash node to divide the work over the
available CPU cores and combine its results in shared memory. If the join
needs to be split into multiple batches in order to respect work_mem, then
workers process different batches as much as possible and then work together
on the remaining batches.
The advantages of a parallel-aware hash join over a parallel-oblivious hash
join used in a parallel query are that it:
* avoids wasting memory on duplicated hash tables
* avoids wasting disk space on duplicated batch files
* divides the work of building the hash table over the CPUs
One disadvantage is that there is some communication between the participating
CPUs which might outweigh the benefits of parallelism in the case of small
hash tables. This is avoided by the planner's existing reluctance to supply
partial plans for small scans, but it may be necessary to estimate
synchronization costs in future if that situation changes. Another is that
outer batch 0 must be written to disk if multiple batches are required.
A potential future advantage of parallel-aware hash joins is that right and
full outer joins could be supported, since there is a single set of matched
bits for each hashtable, but that is not yet implemented.
A new GUC enable_parallel_hash is defined to control the feature, defaulting
to on.

This parameter can be used to enforce the channel binding type used
during a SCRAM authentication. This can be useful to check code paths
where an invalid channel binding type is used by a client and will be
even more useful to allow testing other channel binding types when they

The default value is tls-unique, which is what RFC 5802 specifies.
Clients can optionally specify an empty value, which has as effect to
not use channel binding and use SCRAM-SHA-256 as chosen SASL mechanism.

Previously it was possible that a tuple was not pruned during vacuum,
even though its update xmax (i.e. the updating xid in a multixact with
both key share lockers and an updater) was below the cutoff horizon.
As the freezing code assumed, rightly so, that that's not supposed to
happen, xmax would be preserved (as a member of a new multixact or
xmax directly). That causes two problems: For one the tuple is below
the xmin horizon, which can cause problems if the clog is truncated or
once there's an xid wraparound. The bigger problem is that that will
break HOT chains, which in turn can lead two to breakages: First,
failing index lookups, which in turn can e.g lead to constraints being
violated. Second, future hot prunes / vacuums can end up making
invisible tuples visible again. There's other harmful scenarios.
Fix the problem by recognizing that tuples can be DEAD instead of
RECENTLY_DEAD, even if the multixactid has alive members, if the
update_xid is below the xmin horizon. That's safe because newer
versions of the tuple will contain the locking xids.
A followup commit will harden the code somewhat against future similar
bugs and already corrupted data.

If one exits and re-enters a DECLARE ... BEGIN ... END block within a
single execution of a plpgsql function, perhaps due to a surrounding loop,
the declared variables are supposed to get re-initialized to null (or
whatever their initializer is). But this failed to happen for variables
of type "record", because while exec_stmt_block() expected such variables
to be included in the block's initvarnos list, plpgsql_add_initdatums()
only adds DTYPE_VAR variables to that list. This bug appears to have
been there since the aboriginal addition of plpgsql to our tree.
Fix by teaching plpgsql_add_initdatums() to include DTYPE_REC variables
as well. (We don't need to consider other DTYPEs because they don't
represent separately-stored values.) I failed to resist the temptation

Bug: #14952
I suppose it is a copy-and-paste error that this test doesn't actually
test the "Parallel Append with both partial and non-partial subplans"
case (EXPLAIN alone surely doesn't qualify as a test of executor
behavior). Fix that.
Also, add cosmetic aliases to make it possible to tell apart these
otherwise-identical test cases in log_statement output.
When we create an Append node, we can spread out the workers over the
subplans instead of piling on to each subplan one at a time, which
should typically be a bit more efficient, both because the startup
cost of any plan executed entirely by one worker is paid only once and
also because of reduced contention. We can also construct Append
plans using a mix of partial and non-partial subplans, which may allow
for parallelism in places that otherwise couldn't support it.
Unfortunately, this patch doesn't handle the important case of
parallelizing UNION ALL by running each branch in a separate worker;
the executor infrastructure is added here, but more planner work is
needed.

Previously, this function estimated the selectivity as 1 minus eqjoinsel()
for the negator equality operator, regardless of join type (I think there
was an expectation that eqjoinsel would handle the join type). But
actually this is completely wrong for semijoin cases: the fraction of the
LHS that has a non-matching row is not one minus the fraction of the LHS
that has a matching row. In reality a semijoin with <> will nearly always
succeed: it can only fail when the RHS is empty, or it contains a single
distinct value that is equal to the particular LHS value, or the LHS value
is null. The only one of those things we should have much confidence in
estimating is the fraction of LHS values that are null, so let's just take
the selectivity as 1 minus outer nullfrac.
Per coding convention, antijoin should be estimated the same as semijoin.
