e09155bd62 Add --no-instructions parameter to initdb
Specifying this parameter removes the informational messages about how
to start the server. This is intended for use by wrappers in different
packaging systems, where those instructions would most likely be wrong
anyway, but the other output from initdb would still be useful (and thus
just redirecting everything to /dev/null would be bad).

This add counters for number of sessions, the different kind of session

idle in a database to pg_stat_database.

Internally this also renames the parameter "force" to disconnect. This
was the only use-case for the parameter before, so repurposing it to
this mroe narrow usecase makes things cleaner than inventing something
new.

Prevent drop of tablespaces used by partitioned relations
When a tablespace is used in a partitioned relation (per commits
ca4103025dfe in pg12 for tables and 33e6c34c3267 in pg11 for indexes),
it is possible to drop the tablespace, potentially causing various
problems.  One such was reported in bug #16577, where a rewriting ALTER
TABLE causes a server crash.

Protect against this by using pg_shdepend to keep track of tablespaces
when used for relations that don't keep physical files; we now abort a
tablespace if we see that the tablespace is referenced from any
partitioned relations.

Backpatch this to 11, where this problem has been latent all along.  We
don't try to create pg_shdepend entries for existing partitioned
indexes/tables, but any ones that are modified going forward will be
protected.

Note slight behavior change: when trying to drop a tablespace that
contains both regular tables as well as partitioned ones, you'd
previously get ERRCODE_OBJECT_NOT_IN_PREREQUISITE_STATE and now you'll
get ERRCODE_DEPENDENT_OBJECTS_STILL_EXIST.  Arguably, the latter is more
correct.

It is possible to add protecting pg_shdepend entries for existing
tables/indexes, by doing
  ALTER TABLE ONLY some_partitioned_table SET TABLESPACE pg_default;
  ALTER TABLE ONLY some_partitioned_table SET TABLESPACE original_tablespace;
for each partitioned table/index that is not in the database default
tablespace.  Because these partitioned objects do not have storage, no
file needs to be actually moved, so it shouldn't take more time than
what's required to acquire locks.

This query can be used to search for such relations:
SELECT ... FROM pg_class WHERE relkind IN ('p', 'I') AND reltablespace <> 0

c21ea4d53e Disallow a digit as the first character of a variable name in pgbench.
The point of this restriction is to avoid trying to substitute variables
into timestamp literal values, which may contain strings like '12:34'.

There is a good deal more that should be done to reduce pgbench's
tendency to substitute where it shouldn't.  But this is sufficient to
solve the case complained of by Jaime Soler, and it's simple enough
to back-patch.

Back-patch to v11; before commit 9d36a3866, pgbench had a slightly
different definition of what a variable name is, and anyway it seems
unwise to change long-stable branches for this.

d168b66682 Enhance nbtree index tuple deletion.
Teach nbtree and heapam to cooperate in order to eagerly remove
duplicate tuples representing dead MVCC versions.  This is "bottom-up
deletion".  Each bottom-up deletion pass is triggered lazily in response
to a flood of versions on an nbtree leaf page.  This usually involves a
"logically unchanged index" hint (these are produced by the executor
mechanism added by commit 9dc718bd).

The immediate goal of bottom-up index deletion is to avoid "unnecessary"
page splits caused entirely by version duplicates.  It naturally has an
even more useful effect, though: it acts as a backstop against
accumulating an excessive number of index tuple versions for any given
_logical row_.  Bottom-up index deletion complements what we might now
call "top-down index deletion": index vacuuming performed by VACUUM.
Bottom-up index deletion responds to the immediate local needs of
queries, while leaving it up to autovacuum to perform infrequent clean
sweeps of the index.  The overall effect is to avoid certain
pathological performance issues related to "version churn" from UPDATEs.

The previous tableam interface used by index AMs to perform tuple
deletion (the table_compute_xid_horizon_for_tuples() function) has been
replaced with a new interface that supports certain new requirements.
Many (perhaps all) of the capabilities added to nbtree by this commit
could also be extended to other index AMs.  That is left as work for a
later commit.

Extend deletion of LP_DEAD-marked index tuples in nbtree by adding logic
to consider extra index tuples (that are not LP_DEAD-marked) for
deletion in passing.  This increases the number of index tuples deleted
significantly in many cases.  The LP_DEAD deletion process (which is now
called "simple deletion" to clearly distinguish it from bottom-up
deletion) won't usually need to visit any extra table blocks to check
these extra tuples.  We have to visit the same table blocks anyway to
generate a latestRemovedXid value (at least in the common case where the
index deletion operation's WAL record needs such a value).

Testing has shown that the "extra tuples" simple deletion enhancement
increases the number of index tuples deleted with almost any workload
that has LP_DEAD bits set in leaf pages.  That is, it almost never fails
to delete at least a few extra index tuples.  It helps most of all in
cases that happen to naturally have a lot of delete-safe tuples.  It's
not uncommon for an individual deletion operation to end up deleting an
order of magnitude more index tuples compared to the old naive approach
(e.g., custom instrumentation of the patch shows that this happens
fairly often when the regression tests are run).

Add a further enhancement that augments simple deletion and bottom-up
deletion in indexes that make use of deduplication: Teach nbtree's
_bt_delitems_delete() function to support granular TID deletion in
posting list tuples.  It is now possible to delete individual TIDs from
posting list tuples provided the TIDs have a tableam block number of a
table block that gets visited as part of the deletion process (visiting
the table block can be triggered directly or indirectly).  Setting the
LP_DEAD bit of a posting list tuple is still an all-or-nothing thing,
but that matters much less now that deletion only needs to start out
with the right _general_ idea about which index tuples are deletable.

Bump XLOG_PAGE_MAGIC because xl_btree_delete changed.

No bump in BTREE_VERSION, since there are no changes to the on-disk
representation of nbtree indexes.  Indexes built on PostgreSQL 12 or
PostgreSQL 13 will automatically benefit from bottom-up index deletion
(i.e. no reindexing required) following a pg_upgrade.  The enhancement
to simple deletion is available with all B-Tree indexes following a
pg_upgrade, no matter what PostgreSQL version the user upgrades from.

9dc718bdf2 Pass down "logically unchanged index" hint.
Add an executor aminsert() hint mechanism that informs index AMs that
the incoming index tuple (the tuple that accompanies the hint) is not
being inserted by execution of an SQL statement that logically modifies
any of the index's key columns.

The hint is received by indexes when an UPDATE takes place that does not
apply an optimization like heapam's HOT (though only for indexes where
all key columns are logically unchanged).  Any index tuple that receives
the hint on insert is expected to be a duplicate of at least one
existing older version that is needed for the same logical row.  Related
versions will typically be stored on the same index page, at least
within index AMs that apply the hint.

Recognizing the difference between MVCC version churn duplicates and
true logical row duplicates at the index AM level can help with cleanup
of garbage index tuples.  Cleanup can intelligently target tuples that
are likely to be garbage, without wasting too many cycles on less
promising tuples/pages (index pages with little or no version churn).

This is infrastructure for an upcoming commit that will teach nbtree to
perform bottom-up index deletion.  No index AM actually applies the hint
just yet.

4656e3d668 Replace CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS with run-time GUC
Forced cache invalidation (CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS) has been impractical
to use for testing in PostgreSQL because it's so slow and because it's
toggled on/off only at build time.  It is helpful when hunting bugs in
any code that uses the sycache/relcache because causes cache
invalidations to be injected whenever it would be possible for an
invalidation to occur, whether or not one was really pending.

Address this by providing run-time control over cache clobber
behaviour using the new debug_invalidate_system_caches_always GUC.
Support is not compiled in at all unless assertions are enabled or
CLOBBER_CACHE_ENABLED is explicitly defined at compile time.  It
defaults to 0 if compiled in, so it has negligible effect on assert
build performance by default.

When support is compiled in, test code can now set
debug_invalidate_system_caches_always=1 locally to a backend to test
specific queries, functions, extensions, etc.  Or tests can toggle it
globally for a specific test case while retaining normal performance
during test setup and teardown.

For backwards compatibility with existing test harnesses and scripts,
debug_invalidate_system_caches_always defaults to 1 if
CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS is defined, and to 3 if CLOBBER_CACHE_RECURSIVE
is defined.

CLOBBER_CACHE_ENABLED is now visible in pg_config_manual.h, as is the
related RECOVER_RELATION_BUILD_MEMORY setting for the relcache.

c9d5298485 Re-implement pl/pgsql's expression and assignment parsing.
Invent new RawParseModes that allow the core grammar to handle
pl/pgsql expressions and assignments directly, and thereby get rid
of a lot of hackery in pl/pgsql's parser.  This moves a good deal
of knowledge about pl/pgsql into the core code: notably, we have to
invent a CoercionContext that matches pl/pgsql's (rather dubious)
historical behavior for assignment coercions.  That's getting away
from the original idea of pl/pgsql as an arm's-length extension of
the core, but really we crossed that bridge a long time ago.

The main advantage of doing this is that we can now use the core
parser to generate FieldStore and/or SubscriptingRef nodes to handle
assignments to pl/pgsql variables that are records or arrays.  That
fixes a number of cases that had never been implemented in pl/pgsql
assignment, such as nested records and array slicing, and it allows
pl/pgsql assignment to support the datatype-specific subscripting
behaviors introduced in commit c7aba7c14.

There are cosmetic benefits too: when a syntax error occurs in a
pl/pgsql expression, the error report no longer includes the confusing
"SELECT" keyword that used to get prefixed to the expression text.
Also, there seem to be some small speed gains.

844fe9f159 Add the ability for the core grammar to have more than one parse target.
This patch essentially allows gram.y to implement a family of related
syntax trees, rather than necessarily always parsing a list of SQL
statements.  raw_parser() gains a new argument, enum RawParseMode,
to say what to do.  As proof of concept, add a mode that just parses
a TypeName without any other decoration, and use that to greatly
simplify typeStringToTypeName().

In addition, invent a new SPI entry point SPI_prepare_extended() to
allow SPI users (particularly plpgsql) to get at this new functionality.
In hopes of making this the last variant of SPI_prepare(), set up its
additional arguments as a struct rather than direct arguments, and
promise that future additions to the struct can default to zero.
SPI_prepare_cursor() and SPI_prepare_params() can perhaps go away at
some point.

Now that we decode the changes before the commit, the concurrent aborts
may cause failures when the output plugin consults catalogs (both system

We detect such failures with a special sqlerrcode
ERRCODE_TRANSACTION_ROLLBACK introduced by commit 7259736a6e and stop
decoding the remaining changes. Then we rollback the changes when rollback
prepared is encountered.

860fe27ee1 Fix up usage of krb_server_keyfile GUC parameter.
secure_open_gssapi() installed the krb_server_keyfile setting as
KRB5_KTNAME unconditionally, so long as it's not empty.  However,
pg_GSS_recvauth() only installed it if KRB5_KTNAME wasn't set already,
leading to a troubling inconsistency: in theory, clients could see
different sets of server principal names depending on whether they
use GSSAPI encryption.  Always using krb_server_keyfile seems like
the right thing, so make both places do that.  Also fix up
secure_open_gssapi()'s lack of a check for setenv() failure ---
it's unlikely, surely, but security-critical actions are no place
to be sloppy.

Also improve the associated documentation.

This patch does nothing about secure_open_gssapi()'s use of setenv(),
and indeed causes pg_GSS_recvauth() to use it too.  That's nominally
against project portability rules, but since this code is only built
with --with-gssapi, I do not feel a need to do something about this
in the back branches.  A fix will be forthcoming for HEAD though.

Back-patch to v12 where GSSAPI encryption was introduced.  The
dubious behavior in pg_GSS_recvauth() goes back further, but it
didn't have anything to be inconsistent with, so let it be.

0aa8a01d04 Extend the output plugin API to allow decoding of prepared xacts.
This adds six methods to the output plugin API, adding support for
streaming changes of two-phase transactions at prepare time.

* begin_prepare
* filter_prepare
* prepare
* commit_prepared
* rollback_prepared
* stream_prepare

Most of this is a simple extension of the existing methods, with the
semantic difference that the transaction is not yet committed and maybe
aborted later.

Until now two-phase transactions were translated into regular transactions
on the subscriber, and the GID was not forwarded to it. None of the
two-phase commands were communicated to the subscriber.

This patch provides the infrastructure for logical decoding plugins to be
informed of two-phase commands Like PREPARE TRANSACTION, COMMIT PREPARED
and ROLLBACK PREPARED commands with the corresponding GID.

This also extends the 'test_decoding' plugin, implementing these new
methods.

This commit simply adds these new APIs and the upcoming patch to "allow
the decoding at prepare time in ReorderBuffer" will use these APIs.

f20dc2c8dd Doc: fix up PDF build warnings from over-width table columns.
Addition of multirange info to tables 8.27 and 65.1 made them start
throwing "exceed the available area" warnings in PDF docs builds.

For 8.27, twiddling the existing column width hints was enough to
fix this.  For 65.1, I twiddled the widths a little, but to really
fix it I had to insert a space after each comma in the table, to
allow a line break to occur there.  (This seemed easier to read
and maintain than the alternative of inserting &zwsp; entities.)

Per buildfarm.

db6335b5b1 Add support of multirange matching to the existing range GiST indexes
6df7a9698b has introduced a set of operators between ranges and multiranges.
Existing GiST indexes for ranges could easily support majority of them.
This commit adds support for new operators to the existing range GiST indexes.
New operators resides the same strategy numbers as existing ones.  Appropriate
check function is determined using the subtype.

Catversion is bumped.

We have operators for checking if the multirange contains a range but don't
have the opposite.  This commit improves completeness of the operator set by
adding two new operators: @> (anyrange,anymultirange) and
<@(anymultirange,anyrange).

622ae4621e Fix assorted issues in backend's GSSAPI encryption support.
Unrecoverable errors detected by GSSAPI encryption can't just be
reported with elog(ERROR) or elog(FATAL), because attempting to
send the error report to the client is likely to lead to infinite
recursion or loss of protocol sync.  Instead make this code do what
the SSL encryption code has long done, which is to just report any
such failure to the server log (with elevel COMMERROR), then pretend
we've lost the connection by returning errno = ECONNRESET.

Along the way, fix confusion about whether message translation is done
by pg_GSS_error() or its callers (the latter should do it), and make
the backend version of that function work more like the frontend
version.

Avoid allocating the port->gss struct until it's needed; we surely
don't need to allocate it in the postmaster.

Improve logging of "connection authorized" messages with GSS enabled.
(As part of this, I back-patched the code changes from dc11f31a1.)

Make BackendStatusShmemSize() account for the GSS-related space that
will be allocated by CreateSharedBackendStatus().  This omission
could possibly cause out-of-shared-memory problems with very high
max_connections settings.

Remove arbitrary, pointless restriction that only GSS authentication
can be used on a GSS-encrypted connection.

Improve documentation; notably, document the fact that libpq now
prefers GSS encryption over SSL encryption if both are possible.

Per report from Mikael Gustavsson.  Back-patch to v12 where
this code was introduced.

978f869b99 Add key management system
This adds a key management system that stores (currently) two data
encryption keys of length 128, 192, or 256 bits.  The data keys are
AES256 encrypted using a key encryption key, and validated via GCM
cipher mode.  A command to obtain the key encryption key must be
specified at initdb time, and will be run at every database server
start.  New parameters allow a file descriptor open to the terminal to
be passed.  pg_upgrade support has also been added.

ff5d5611c0 Remove "invalid concatenation of jsonb objects" error case.
The jsonb || jsonb operator arbitrarily rejected certain combinations
of scalar and non-scalar inputs, while being willing to concatenate
other combinations.  This was of course quite undocumented.  Rather
than trying to document it, let's just remove the restriction,
creating a uniform rule that unless we are handling an object-to-object
concatenation, non-array inputs are converted to one-element arrays,
resulting in an array-to-array concatenation.  (This does not change
the behavior for any case that didn't throw an error before.)

Per complaint from Joel Jacobson.  Back-patch to all supported branches.

The separate "cd" command before invoking psql made sense (or at least
I thought so) when it was added in commit ed1939332.  But 4e3a61635
removed the supporting text that explained when to use it, making it
just confusing.  So drop it.

Also switch from four-dot to three-dot filler for the unsupplied
part of the path, since at least one person has read the four-dot
filler as a typo for "../..".  And fix these/those inconsistency.
