This can be used to load an injection point and prewarm the
backend-level cache before running it, to avoid issues if the point
cannot be loaded due to restrictions in the code path where it would be
run, like a critical section where no memory allocation can happen
(load_external_function() can do allocations when expanding a library
name).
Tests can use a macro called INJECTION_POINT_LOAD() to load an injection
point. The test module injection_points gains some tests, and a SQL
function able to load an injection point.
Based on a request from Andrey Borodin, who has implemented a test for
multixacts requiring this facility.

Here we make tuplestore.c use a generation.c memory context rather than
allocating tuples into the CurrentMemoryContext, which primarily is the
ExecutorState or PortalHoldContext memory context. Not having a
dedicated context can cause the CurrentMemoryContext context to become
bloated when pfree'd chunks are not reused by future tuples. Using
generation speeds up users of tuplestore.c, such as the Materialize,
WindowAgg and CTE Scan executor nodes. The main reason for the speedup is
due to generation.c being more memory efficient than aset.c memory
contexts. Specifically, generation does not round sizes up to the next
power of 2 value. This both saves memory, allowing more tuples to fit in
work_mem, but also makes the memory usage more compact and fit on fewer
cachelines. One benchmark showed up to a 22% performance increase in a
query containing a Materialize node. Much higher gains are possible if
the memory reduction prevents tuplestore.c from spilling to disk. This is
especially true for WindowAgg nodes where improvements of several thousand
times are possible if the memory reductions made here prevent tuplestore
from spilling to disk.
Additionally, a generation.c memory context is much better suited for this
job as it works well with FIFO palloc/pfree patterns, which is exactly how
tuplestore.c uses it. Because of the way generation.c allocates memory,
tuples consecutively stored in tuplestores are much more likely to be
stored consecutively in memory. This allows the CPU's hardware prefetcher
to work more efficiently as it provides a more predictable pattern to
allow cachelines for the next tuple to be loaded from RAM in advance of
them being needed by the executor.
Using a dedicated memory context for storing tuples also allows us to more
efficiently clean up the memory used by the tuplestore as we can reset or
delete the context rather than looping over all stored tuples and
pfree'ing them one by one.
Also, remove a badly placed USEMEM call in readtup_heap(). The tuple
wasn't being allocated in the Tuplestorestate's context, so no need to
adjust the memory consumed by the tuplestore there.

Previously we searched for code points where the Unicode data file
listed an equivalent combining character sequence that added accents.
Some codepoints redirect to a single other codepoint, instead of doing
any combining. We can follow those references recursively to get the
answer.
Per bug report #18362, which reported missing Ancient Greek characters.
Specifically, precomposed characters with oxia (from the polytonic
accent system used for old Greek) just point to precomposed characters
with tonos (from the monotonic accent system for modern Greek), and we
have to follow the extra hop to find out that they are composed with
an acute accent.
Besides those, the new rule also:
* pulls in a lot of 'Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols', which are
copies of the Latin and Greek alphabets and numbers rendered
in different typefaces, and
* corrects a single mathematical letter that previously came from the
CLDR transliteration file, but the new rule extracts from the main
Unicode database file, where clearly the latter is right and the
former is a wrong (reported to CLDR).

Here we add some new functions to tuplestore.c to query this information

There are a few other executor node types that use tuplestores, so we

Hash joins can support semijoin with the LHS input on the right, using
the existing logic for inner join, combined with the assurance that only
the first match for each inner tuple is considered, which can be
achieved by leveraging the HEAP_TUPLE_HAS_MATCH flag. This can be very
useful in some cases since we may now have the option to hash the
smaller table instead of the larger.
Merge join could likely support "Right Semi Join" too. However, the
benefit of swapping inputs tends to be small here, so we do not address
that in this patch.
Note that this patch also modifies a test query in join.sql to ensure it
continues testing as intended. With this patch the original query would
result in a right-semi-join rather than semi-join, compromising its
original purpose of testing the fix for neqjoinsel's behavior for

This function generates the commands that preserve the OIDs and
relfilenodes of relations during pg_upgrade. It is called once per
relevant relation, and each such call executes a relatively

This can cause pg_dump to take significantly longer when
--binary-upgrade is specified, especially when there are many
tables.
This commit improves the performance of this function by gathering
all the required pg_class information with a single query at the
beginning of pg_dump. This information is stored in a sorted array
that binary_upgrade_set_pg_class_oids() can bsearch() for what it
needs. This follows a similar approach as commit d5e8930f50, which

Up to now, committing a transaction has caused CurrentMemoryContext to
get set to TopMemoryContext. Most callers did not pay any particular
heed to this, which is problematic because TopMemoryContext is a
long-lived context that never gets reset. If the caller assumes it
can leak memory because it's running in a limited-lifespan context,
that behavior translates into a session-lifespan memory leak.
The first-reported instance of this involved ProcessIncomingNotify,
which is called from the main processing loop that normally runs in
MessageContext. That outer-loop code assumes that whatever it
allocates will be cleaned up when we're done processing the current
client message --- but if we service a notify interrupt, then whatever
gets allocated before the next switch to MessageContext will be
permanently leaked in TopMemoryContext. sinval catchup interrupts
have a similar problem, and I strongly suspect that some places in
logical replication do too.
To fix this in a generic way, let's redefine the behavior as
"CommitTransactionCommand restores the memory context that was current
at entry to StartTransactionCommand". This clearly fixes the issue
for the notify and sinval cases, and it seems to match the mental
model that's in use in the logical replication code, to the extent
that anybody thought about it there at all.
For consistency, likewise make subtransaction exit restore the context
that was current at subtransaction start (rather than always selecting
the CurTransactionContext of the parent transaction level). This case
has less risk of resulting in a permanent leak than the outer-level
behavior has, but it would not meet the principle of least surprise
for some CommitTransactionCommand calls to restore the previous
context while others don't.
While we're here, also change xact.c so that we reset
TopTransactionContext at transaction exit and then re-use it in later
transactions, rather than dropping and recreating it in each cycle.
This probably doesn't save a lot given the context recycling mechanism
in aset.c, but it should save a little bit. Per suggestion from David
Rowley. (Parenthetically, the text in src/backend/utils/mmgr/README
implies that this is how I'd planned to implement it as far back as
commit 1aebc3618 --- but the code actually added in that commit just
drops and recreates it each time.)
This commit also cleans up a few places outside xact.c that were
needlessly making TopMemoryContext current, and thus risking more
leaks of the same kind. I don't think any of them represent
significant leak risks today, but let's deal with them while the
issue is top-of-mind.
Per bug #18512 from wizardbrony. Commit to HEAD only, as this change
seems to have some risk of breaking things for some callers. We'll
apply a narrower fix for the known-broken cases in the back branches.
