The previous coding based on select() had commentary about historical
portability concerns. Use POSIX nanosleep() instead.
This has independently been suggested a couple of times before, but
never managed to stick. Since recent and proposed work removes other
uses of select(), and associated code and comments relating to its
non-portable interaction with signals, it seems like a good time to tidy
up this case, too.
Also modernize the explanation of why WaitLatch() is a better way to
wait.

The current implementation of _pgfstat64() is ineffective in detecting a
terminal handle or an anonymous named pipe. This commit improves our
port of fstat() to detect more efficiently such cases by relying on
GetFileType(), and returning more correct data when the type found is
either a FILE_TYPE_PIPE (_S_IFIFO) or a FILE_TYPE_CHAR (_S_IFCHR).
This is part of a more global fix to address failures when feeding the
output generated by pg_dump to pg_restore through a pipe, for example,
but not all of it. We are also going to need to do something about
fseek() and ftello() which are not reliable on WIN32 for the same cases
where fstat() was incorrect. Fixing fstat() is independent of the rest,
though, which is why both fixes are handled separately, and this is the
first part of it.

Using REPLICA IDENTITY FULL on the publisher can lead to a full table scan
per tuple change on the subscription when REPLICA IDENTITY or PK index is
not available. This makes REPLICA IDENTITY FULL impractical to use apart
from some small number of use cases.
This patch allows using indexes other than PRIMARY KEY or REPLICA
IDENTITY on the subscriber during apply of update/delete. The index that
can be used must be a btree index, not a partial index, and it must have
at least one column reference (i.e. cannot consist of only expressions).
We can uplift these restrictions in the future. There is no smart
mechanism to pick the index. If there is more than one index that
satisfies these requirements, we just pick the first one. We discussed
using some of the optimizer's low-level APIs for this but ruled it out
as that can be a maintenance burden in the long run.
This patch improves the performance in the vast majority of cases and the
improvement is proportional to the amount of data in the table. However,
there could be some regression in a small number of cases where the indexes
have a lot of duplicate and dead rows. It was discussed that those are
mostly impractical cases but we can provide a table or subscription level
option to disable this feature if required.

Commit 4753ef37 changed vacuum_delay_point() to use the WaitLatch() API,
to fix the problem that vacuum could keep running for a very long time
after the postmaster died.
Unfortunately, that broke commit caf626b2's support for fractional
vacuum_cost_delay, which shipped in PostgreSQL 12. WaitLatch() works in
whole milliseconds.
For now, revert the change from commit 4753ef37, but add an explicit
check for postmaster death. That's an extra system call on systems
other than Linux and FreeBSD, but that overhead doesn't matter much

Our waitpid() emulation didn't prevent a PID from being recycled by the
OS before the call to waitpid(). The postmaster could finish up
tracking more than one child process with the same PID, and confuse
them.
Fix, by moving the guts of pgwin32_deadchild_callback() into waitpid(),
so that resources are released synchronously. The process and PID
continue to exist until we close the process handle, which only happens
once we're ready to adjust our book-keeping of running children.
This seems to explain a couple of failures on CI. It had never been
reported before, despite the code being as old as the Windows port.
Perhaps Windows started recycling PIDs more rapidly, or perhaps timing
changes due to commit 7389aad6 made it more likely to break.

This commit reworks a bit the set-returning functions of pg_walinspect,
making them more flexible regarding their end LSN:
- pg_get_wal_records_info()
- pg_get_wal_stats()
- pg_get_wal_block_info()
The end LSNs given to these functions is now handled so as a value
higher than the current LSN of the cluster (insert LSN for a primary, or
replay LSN for a standby) does not raise an error, giving more
flexibility to monitoring queries. Instead, the functions return
results up to the current LSN, as found at the beginning of each
function call.
As an effect of that, pg_get_wal_records_info_till_end_of_wal() and
pg_get_wal_stats_till_end_of_wal() are now removed from 1.1, as the
existing, equivalent functions are able to offer the same

Expose the standard error functions as SQL-callable functions. These
are expected to be useful to people working with normal distributions,
and we use them here to test the distribution from random_normal().
Since these functions are defined in the POSIX and C99 standards, they
should in theory be available on all supported platforms. If that
turns out not to be the case, more work will be needed.
On all platforms tested so far, using extra_float_digits = -1 in the
regression tests is sufficient to allow for variations between
implementations. However, past experience has shown that there are
almost certainly going to be additional unexpected portability issues,
so these tests may well need further adjustments, based on the

The new connection parameter require_auth allows a libpq client to
define a list of comma-separated acceptable authentication types for use
with the server. There is no negotiation: if the server does not
present one of the allowed authentication requests, the connection
attempt done by the client fails.
The following keywords can be defined in the list:
- password, for AUTH_REQ_PASSWORD.
- md5, for AUTH_REQ_MD5.
- gss, for AUTH_REQ_GSS[_CONT].
- sspi, for AUTH_REQ_SSPI and AUTH_REQ_GSS_CONT.
- scram-sha-256, for AUTH_REQ_SASL[_CONT|_FIN].
- creds, for AUTH_REQ_SCM_CREDS (perhaps this should be removed entirely
now).
- none, to control unauthenticated connections.
All the methods that can be defined in the list can be negated, like
"!password", in which case the server must NOT use the listed
authentication type. The special method "none" allows/disallows the use
of unauthenticated connections (but it does not govern transport-level
authentication via TLS or GSSAPI).
Internally, the patch logic is tied to check_expected_areq(), that was
used for channel_binding, ensuring that an incoming request is
compatible with conn->require_auth. It also introduces a new flag,
conn->client_finished_auth, which is set by various authentication
routines when the client side of the handshake is finished. This
signals to check_expected_areq() that an AUTH_REQ_OK from the server is
expected, and allows the client to complain if the server bypasses
authentication entirely, with for example the reception of a too-early
AUTH_REQ_OK message.
Regression tests are added in authentication TAP tests for all the
keywords supported (except "creds", because it is around only for
compatibility reasons). A new TAP script has been added for SSPI, as
there was no script dedicated to it yet. It relies on SSPI being the
default authentication method on Windows, as set by pg_regress.

The majority of error exit cases in json_lex_string() failed to

reporting code: it would see token_terminator less than token_start

error context lines that are far less useful than intended,
because they'd stop at the end of the prior token instead of
continuing to where the actually-bad input is.

This ensures that the row count in the command tag for a MERGE is

If MERGE attempts an UPDATE or DELETE on a table with BEFORE ROW
triggers, or a cross-partition UPDATE (with or without triggers), and
a concurrent UPDATE or DELETE happens, the merge code would fail.
In some cases this would lead to a crash, while in others it would
cause the wrong merge action to be executed, or no action at all. The
immediate cause of the crash was the trigger code calling
ExecGetUpdateNewTuple() as part of the EPQ mechanism, which fails
because during a merge ri_projectNew is NULL, since merge has its own
per-action projection information, which ExecGetUpdateNewTuple() knows
nothing about.
Fix by arranging for the trigger code to exit early, returning the
TM_Result and TM_FailureData information, if a concurrent modification
is detected, allowing the merge code to do the necessary EPQ handling
in its own way. Similarly, prevent the cross-partition update code
from doing any EPQ processing for a merge, allowing the merge code to
work out what it needs to do.
This leads to a number of simplifications in nodeModifyTable.c. Most
notably, the ModifyTableContext->GetUpdateNewTuple() callback is no
longer needed, and mergeGetUpdateNewTuple() can be deleted, since
there is no longer any requirement for get-update-new-tuple during a
merge. Similarly, ModifyTableContext->cpUpdateRetrySlot is no longer
needed. Thus ExecGetUpdateNewTuple() and the retry_slot handling of
ExecCrossPartitionUpdate() can be restored to how they were in v14,
before the merge code was added, and ExecMergeMatched() no longer
needs any special-case handling for cross-partition updates.
While at it, tidy up ExecUpdateEpilogue() a bit, making it handle
recheckIndexes locally, rather than passing it in as a parameter,
ensuring that it is freed properly. This dates back to when it was
split off from ExecUpdate() to support merge.

The recently added standard collation UNICODE (0d21d4b9bc) doesn't
give consistent results on some build farm members with old ICU
versions. Apparently, the ICU locale specification 'und' (language
tag style) misbehaves on some older ICU versions. Replacing it with
'' (ICU locale ID style) fixes it at least on some OS versions. Let's
see what the build farm says.
The error cases for TLS and GSS encryption were inconsistent. After TLS
fails, the connection is marked as dead and follow-up calls of
PQconnectPoll() would return immediately, but GSS encryption was not
doing that, so the connection would still have been allowed to enter the
GSS handling code. This was handled incorrectly when gssencmode was set
to "require". "prefer" was working correctly, and this could not happen
under "disable" as GSS encryption would not be attempted.
This commit makes the error handling of GSS encryption on par with TLS
portion, fixing the case of gssencmode=require.

adjust_appendrel_attrs can't transfer nullingrel labeling to a non-Var
translation expression (mainly because it's too late to wrap such an
expression in a PlaceHolderVar). I'd supposed in commit 2489d76c4
that that restriction was unreachable because we'd not attempt to push
problematic clauses down to an appendrel child relation. I forgot that
set_append_rel_size blindly converts all the parent rel's joininfo
clauses to child clauses, and that list could well contain clauses
from above a nulling outer join.
We might eventually have to devise a direct fix for this implementation
restriction, but for now it seems enough to filter out troublesome
clauses while constructing the child's joininfo list. Such clauses
are certainly not useful while constructing paths for the child rel;
they'll have to be applied later when we join the completed appendrel
to something else. So we don't need them here, and omitting them from
the list should save a few cycles while processing the child rel.

- Addition of the full-page image length, as counted without a hole or

- Addition of the full-page image flags, tracking if a page is stored

Datetime input formerly accepted combinations such as
