Fix resource management bug with replication=database.
Commit
0d8c9c1210c44b36ec2efcb223a1dfbe897a3661 allowed BASE_BACKUP to
acquire a ResourceOwner without a transaction so that the backup
manifest functionality could use a BufFile, but it overlooked the fact
that when a walsender is used with replication=database, it might have
a transaction in progress, because in that mode, SQL and replication
commands can be mixed. Try to fix things up so that the two cleanup
mechanisms don't conflict.
Per buildfarm member serinus, which triggered the problem when
CREATE_REPLICATION_SLOT failed from inside a transaction. It passed
on the subsequent run, so evidently the failure doesn't happen every

Be more careful about time_t vs. pg_time_t in basebackup.c.
lapwing is complaining that about a call to pg_gmtime, saying that
it "expected 'const pg_time_t *' but argument is of type 'time_t *'".
I at first thought that the problem had someting to do with const,
but Thomas Munro suggested that it might be just because time_t
and pg_time_t are different identifers. lapwing is i686 rather than
x86_64, and pg_time_t is always int64, so that seems like a good
guess.
There is other code that just casts time_t to pg_time_t without
any conversion function, so try that approach here.

Generate backup manifests for base backups, and validate them.
A manifest is a JSON document which includes (1) the file name, size,
last modification time, and an optional checksum for each file backed
up, (2) timelines and LSNs for whatever WAL will need to be replayed
to make the backup consistent, and (3) a checksum for the manifest
itself. By default, we use CRC-32C when checksumming data files,
because we are trying to detect corruption and user error, not foil an
adversary. However, pg_basebackup and the server-side BASE_BACKUP
command now have options to select a different algorithm, so users
wanting a cryptographic hash function can select SHA-224, SHA-256,
SHA-384, or SHA-512. Users not wanting file checksums at all can
disable them, or disable generating of the backup manifest altogether.
Using a cryptographic hash function in place of CRC-32C consumes
significantly more CPU cycles, which may slow down backups in some
cases.
A new tool called pg_validatebackup can validate a backup against the
manifest. If no checksums are present, it can still check that the
right files exist and that they have the expected sizes. If checksums
are present, it can also verify that each file has the expected
checksum. Additionally, it calls pg_waldump to verify that the
expected WAL files are present and parseable. Only plain format
backups can be validated directly, but tar format backups can be
validated after extracting them.

Fix bugs in gin_fuzzy_search_limit processing.
entryGetItem()'s three code paths each contained bugs associated
with filtering the entries for gin_fuzzy_search_limit.
The posting-tree path failed to advance "advancePast" after having
decided to filter an item. If we ran out of items on the current
page and needed to advance to the next, what would actually happen
is that entryLoadMoreItems() would re-load the same page. Eventually,
the random dropItem() test would accept one of the same items it'd
previously rejected, and we'd move on --- but it could take awhile
with small gin_fuzzy_search_limit. To add insult to injury, this
case would inevitably cause entryLoadMoreItems() to decide it needed
to re-descend from the root, making things even slower.
The posting-list path failed to implement gin_fuzzy_search_limit
filtering at all, so that all entries in the posting list would
be returned.
The bitmap-result path used a "gotitem" variable that it failed to
update in the one place where it'd actually make a difference, ie
at the one "continue" statement. I think this was unreachable in
practice, because if we'd looped around then it shouldn't be the
case that the entries on the new page are before advancePast.
Still, the "gotitem" variable was contributing nothing to either
clarity or correctness, so get rid of it.
Refactor all three loops so that the termination conditions are
more alike and less unreadable.
The code coverage report showed that we had no coverage at all for
the re-descend-from-root code path in entryLoadMoreItems(), which

Improve stability fix for partition_aggregate test.

Moreover, this also lets these tests show that the planner does

For backwards compatibility with prior releases,

Attempt to stabilize partitionwise_aggregate test
In
b07642dbc, we added code to trigger autovacuums based on the number of
INSERTs into a table. This seems to have cause some destabilization of
the regression tests. Likely this is due to an autovacuum triggering
mid-test and (per theory from Tom Lane) one of the test's queries causes
autovacuum to skip some number of pages, resulting in the reltuples
estimate changing.
The failure that this is attempting to fix is around the order of subnodes
in an Append. Since the planner orders these according to the subnode
cost, then it's possible that a small change in the reltuples value changes
the subnode's cost enough that it swaps position with one of its fellow
subnodes.
The failure here only seems to occur on slower buildfarm machines. In this
case, lousyjack, which seems have taken over 8 minutes to run just
the partitionwise_aggregate test. Such a slow run would increase the
chances that the autovacuum launcher would trigger a vacuum mid-test.
Faster machines run this test in sub second time, so have a much smaller

Add support for binary I/O of ltree, lquery, and ltxtquery types.
Not much to say here --- does what it says on the tin. The "binary"
representation in each case is really just the same as the text format,
though we prefix a version-number byte in case anyone ever feels
motivated to change that. Thus, there's not any expectation of improved
speed or reduced space; the point here is just to allow clients to use
binary format for all columns of a query result or COPY data.
This makes use of the recently added ALTER TYPE support to add binary
I/O functions to an existing data type. As in commit
a80818605,
we can piggy-back on there already being a new-for-v13 version of the
ltree extension, so we don't need a new update script file.

Check equality semantics for unique indexes on partitioned tables.
We require the partition key to be a subset of the set of columns
being made unique, so that physically-separate indexes on the different
partitions are sufficient to enforce the uniqueness constraint.
The existing code checked that the listed columns appear, but did not
inquire into the index semantics, which is a serious oversight given
that different index opclasses might enforce completely different
notions of uniqueness.
Ideally, perhaps, we'd just match the partition key opfamily to the
index opfamily. But hash partitioning uses hash opfamilies which we
can't directly match to btree opfamilies. Hence, look up the equality
operator in each family, and accept if it's the same operator. This
should be okay in a fairly general sense, since the equality operator
ought to precisely represent the opfamily's notion of uniqueness.
A remaining weak spot is that we don't have a cross-index-AM notion of
which opfamily member is "equality". But we know which one to use for
hash and btree AMs, and those are the only two that are relevant here
at present. (Any non-core AMs that know how to enforce equality are
out of luck, for now.)

Improve selectivity estimation for assorted match-style operators.
Quite a few matching operators such as JSONB's @> used "contsel" and
"contjoinsel" as their selectivity estimators. That was a bad idea,
because (a) contsel is only a stub, yielding a fixed default estimate,
and (b) that default is 0.001, meaning we estimate these operators as
five times more selective than equality, which is surely pretty silly.
There's a good model for improving this in ltree's ltreeparentsel():
for any "var OP constant" query, we can try applying the operator
to all of the column's MCV and histogram values, taking the latter
as being a random sample of the non-MCV values. That code is
actually 100% generic, except for the question of exactly what
default selectivity ought to be plugged in when we don't have stats.
Hence, migrate the guts of ltreeparentsel() into the core code, provide
wrappers "matchingsel" and "matchingjoinsel" with a more-appropriate
default estimate, and use those for the non-geometric operators that
formerly used contsel (mostly JSONB containment operators and tsquery
matching).
Also apply this code to some match-like operators in hstore, ltree, and
pg_trgm, including the former users of ltreeparentsel as well as ones
that improperly used contsel. Since commit
911e70207 just created new
versions of those extensions that we haven't released yet, we can sneak
this change into those new versions instead of having to create an
additional generation of update scripts.

Add -c/--restore-target-wal to pg_rewind
pg_rewind needs to copy from the source cluster to the target cluster a
set of relation blocks changed from the previous checkpoint where WAL
forked up to the end of WAL on the target. Building this list of
relation blocks requires a range of WAL segments that may not be present
anymore on the target's pg_wal, causing pg_rewind to fail. It is
possible to work around this issue by copying manually the WAL segments
needed but this may lead to some extra and actually useless work.
This commit introduces a new option allowing pg_rewind to use a
restore_command while doing the rewind by grabbing the parameter value
of restore_command from the target cluster configuration. This allows
the rewind operation to be more reliable, so as only the WAL segments
needed by the rewind are restored from the archives.
In order to be able to do that, a new routine is added to src/common/ to
allow frontend tools to restore files from archives using an
already-built restore command. This version is more simple than the
backend equivalent as there is no need to handle the non-recovery case.

Fix lquery's NOT handling, and add ability to quantify non-'*' items.
The existing implementation of the ltree ~ lquery match operator is
sufficiently complex and undocumented that it's hard to tell exactly
what it does. But one thing it clearly gets wrong is the combination
of NOT symbols (!) and '*' symbols. A pattern such as '*.!foo.*'
should, by any ordinary understanding of regular expression behavior,
match any ltree that has at least one label that's not "foo". As best
we can tell by experimentation, what it's actually matching is any
ltree in which *no* label is "foo". That's surprising, and not at all
what the documentation says.
Now, that's arguably a useful behavior, so if we rewrite to fix the
bug we should provide some other way to get it. To do so, add the
ability to attach lquery quantifiers to non-'*' items as well as '*'s.
Then the pattern '!foo{,}' expresses "any ltree in which no label is
foo". For backwards compatibility, the default quantifier for non-'*'
items has to be "{1}", although the default for '*' items is '{,}'.
I wouldn't have done it like that in a green field, but it's not
totally horrible.
Armed with that, rewrite checkCond() from scratch. Treating '*' and
non-'*' items alike makes it simpler, not more complicated, so that
the function actually gets a lot shorter than it was.

This reverts commit
2aa6e33, that added a fast path to skip
anti-wraparound and non-aggressive autovacuum jobs (these have no sense
as anti-wraparound implies aggressive). With a cluster using a high
amount of relations with a portion of them being heavily updated, this
could cause autovacuum to lock down, with autovacuum workers attempting
repeatedly those jobs on the same relations for the same database, that
just kept being skipped. This lock down can be solved with a manual
VACUUM FREEZE.
Justin King has reported one environment where the issue happened, and
Julien Rouhaud and I have been able to reproduce it in a second
environment. With a very aggressive autovacuum_freeze_max_age,
triggering those jobs with pgbench is a matter of minutes, and hitting
the lock down is a lot harder (my local tests failed to do that).
Note that anti-wraparound and non-aggressive jobs can only be triggered
on a subset of shared catalogs:
- pg_auth_members
- pg_authid
- pg_database
- pg_replication_origin
- pg_shseclabel
- pg_subscription
- pg_tablespace

Consistently truncate non-key suffix columns.
INCLUDE indexes failed to have their non-key attributes physically
truncated away in certain rare cases. This led to physically larger
pivot tuples that contained useless non-key attribute values. The
impact on users should be negligible, but this is still clearly a
regression (Postgres 11 supports INCLUDE indexes, and yet was not
affected).
The bug appeared in commit
dd299df8, which introduced "true" suffix
truncation of key attributes.

Implement operator class parameters
PostgreSQL provides set of template index access methods, where opclasses have
much freedom in the semantics of indexing. These index AMs are GiST, GIN,
SP-GiST and BRIN. There opclasses define representation of keys, operations on
them and supported search strategies. So, it's natural that opclasses may be
faced some tradeoffs, which require user-side decision. This commit implements
opclass parameters allowing users to set some values, which tell opclass how to
index the particular dataset.
This commit doesn't introduce new storage in system catalog. Instead it uses
pg_attribute.attoptions, which is used for table column storage options but
unused for index attributes.
In order to evade changing signature of each opclass support function, we
implement unified way to pass options to opclass support functions. Options
are set to fn_expr as the constant bytea expression. It's possible due to the
fact that opclass support functions are executed outside of expressions, so
fn_expr is unused for them.
This commit comes with some examples of opclass options usage. We parametrize
signature length in GiST. That applies to multiple opclasses: tsvector_ops,
gist__intbig_ops, gist_ltree_ops, gist__ltree_ops, gist_trgm_ops and
gist_hstore_ops. Also we parametrize maximum number of integer ranges for
gist__int_ops. However, the main future usage of this feature is expected
to be json, where users would be able to specify which way to index particular
json parts.
Catversion is bumped.

Be more careful about extracting encoding from locale strings on Windows.
GetLocaleInfoEx() can fail on strings that setlocale() was perfectly
happy with. A common way for that to happen is if the locale string
is actually a Unix-style string, say "et_EE.UTF-8". In that case,
what's after the dot is an encoding name, not a Windows codepage number;
blindly treating it as a codepage number led to failure, with a fairly
silly error message. Hence, check to see if what's after the dot is
all digits, and if not, treat it as a literal encoding name rather than
a codepage number. This will do the right thing with many Unix-style
locale strings, and produce a more sensible error message otherwise.
Somewhat independently of that, treat a zero (CP_ACP) result from
GetLocaleInfoEx() as meaning that we must use UTF-8 encoding.

Improve handling of parameter differences in physical replication
When certain parameters are changed on a physical replication primary,
this is communicated to standbys using the XLOG_PARAMETER_CHANGE WAL
record. The standby then checks whether its own settings are at least
as big as the ones on the primary. If not, the standby shuts down
with a fatal error.
The correspondence of settings between primary and standby is required
because those settings influence certain shared memory sizings that
are required for processing WAL records that the primary might send.
For example, if the primary sends a prepared transaction, the standby
must have had max_prepared_transaction set appropriately or it won't
be able to process those WAL records.
However, fatally shutting down the standby immediately upon receipt of
the parameter change record might be a bit of an overreaction. The
resources related to those settings are not required immediately at
that point, and might never be required if the activity on the primary
does not exhaust all those resources. If we just let the standby roll
on with recovery, it will eventually produce an appropriate error when
those resources are used.
So this patch relaxes this a bit. Upon receipt of
XLOG_PARAMETER_CHANGE, we still check the settings but only issue a
warning and set a global flag if there is a problem. Then when we
actually hit the resource issue and the flag was set, we issue another
warning message with relevant information. At that point we pause
recovery, so a hot standby remains usable. We also repeat the last
warning message once a minute so it is harder to miss or ignore.

Introduce vacuum errcontext to display additional information.
The additional information displayed will be block number for error

while processing the index.
This will help us in diagnosing the problems that occur during a vacuum.
For ex. due to corruption (either caused by bad hardware or by some bug)
if we get some error while vacuuming, it can help us identify the block
in heap and or additional index information.
It sets up an error context callback to display additional information
with the error. During different phases of vacuum (heap scan, heap
vacuum, index vacuum, index clean up, heap truncate), we update the error
context callback to display appropriate information. We can extend it to
a bit more granular level like adding the phases for FSM operations or for
prefetching the blocks while truncating. However, I felt that it requires
adding many more error callback function calls and can make the code a bit

Attempt to fix unstable regression tests

ending up being set to a slightly different value as a result.
Attempt to resolve this by running a VACUUM ANALYZE on the affected table

ANALYZE chooses but we should no longer get the proceeding autovacuum

Improve the performance and accuracy of numeric sqrt() and ln().
Instead of using Newton's method to compute numeric square roots, use
the Karatsuba square root algorithm, which performs better for numbers
of all sizes. In practice, this is 3-5 times faster for inputs with
just a few digits and up to around 10 times faster for larger inputs.
Also, the new algorithm guarantees that the final digit of the result
is correctly rounded, since it computes an integer square root with
truncation, containing at least 1 extra decimal digit before rounding.
The former algorithm would occasionally round the wrong way because
it rounded both the intermediate and final results.
In addition, arrange for sqrt_var() to explicitly support negative
rscale values (rounding before the decimal point). This allows the
argument reduction phase of ln_var() to be optimised for large inputs,
since it only needs to compute square roots with a few more digits
than the final ln() result, rather than computing all the digits
before the decimal point. For very large inputs, this can be many
thousands of times faster.
In passing, optimise div_var_fast() in a couple of places where it was
doing unnecessary work.
