Commit 0276ae42dd taught pg_walinspect's pg_get_wal_record_info()
function to output NULLs rather than empty strings for its record
description and block_ref output parameters. However, it inadvertently
moved the function call that sets fpi_length until after it was already
set. As a result, pg_get_wal_record_info() always output spurious
fpi_length values of 0.
Fix by switching the order back (but keep the behavioral change).

MERGE planning could fail with "variable not found in subplan target
list" if the target table is partitioned and all its partitions are
excluded at plan time, or in the case where it has no partitions but
used to have some. This happened because distribute_row_identity_vars
thought it didn't need to make the target table's reltarget list
fully valid; but if we generate a join plan then that is required
because the dummy Result node's tlist will be made from the reltarget.
The same logic appears in distribute_row_identity_vars in v14,
but AFAICS the problem is unreachable in that branch for lack of
MERGE. In other updating statements, the target table is always
inner-joined to any other tables, so if the target is known dummy
then the whole plan reduces to dummy, so no join nodes are created.
So I'll refrain from back-patching this code change to v14 for now.

To support older ICU versions, we rely on
icu_set_collation_attributes() to do error checking that is handled
directly by ucol_open() in newer ICU versions. Commit 3b50275b12
introduced a slight inconsistency, where the error report includes the
fixed-up locale string, rather than the locale string passed to
pg_ucol_open().
Refactor slightly so that pg_ucol_open() handles the errors from both
ucol_open() and icu_set_collation_attributes(), making it easier to
see any differences between the error reports. It also makes
pg_ucol_open() responsible for closing the UCollator on error, which
seems like the right place.

find_composite_type_dependencies() ignored indexes, which is a poor
decision because an expression index could have a stored column of
a composite (or other container) type even when the underlying table
does not. Teach it to detect such cases and error out. We have to
work a bit harder than for other relations because the pg_depend entry
won't identify the specific index column of concern, but it's not much

This does not address bug #17872's original complaint that dropping

Commit bbc1376b39627c6bddd8a0dc0a7dda24c91a97a0 checked that if
a redirected line pointer pointed to a tuple, the tuple should be
marked both HEAP_ONLY_TUPLE and HEAP_UPDATED. But Andres Freund
pointed out that *any* tuple that is marked HEAP_ONLY_TUPLE should
be marked HEAP_UPDATED, not just one that is the target of a
redirected line pointer. Do that instead.
To see why this is better, consider a redirect line pointer A
which points to a heap-only tuple B which points (via CTID)
to another heap-only tuple C. With the old code, we'd complain
if B was not marked HEAP_UPDATED, but with this change, we'll
complain if either B or C is not marked HEAP_UPDATED.
(Note that, with or without this commit, if either B or C were
not marked HEAP_ONLY_TUPLE, we would also complain about that.)

Commit bbc1376b39627c6bddd8a0dc0a7dda24c91a97a0 added a new lp_valid[]
array which records whether or not a line pointer was thought to be
valid, but entries could sometimes get set to true in cases where that
wasn't actually safe. Fix that.
Suppose A is a redirect line pointer and B is the other line pointer
to which it points. The old code could mishandle this situation in a
couple of different ways. First, if B was unused, we'd complain about
corruption but still set lp_valid[A] = true, causing later code
to try to access the B as if it were pointing to a tuple. Second,
if B was dead, we wouldn't complain about corruption at all, which is
an oversight, and would also set lp_valid[A] = true, which would
again confuse later code. Fix all that.
In the case where B is a redirect, the old code was correct, but
refactor things a bit anyway so that all of these cases are handled
more symmetrically. Also add an Assert() and some comments.

Replace the hardcoded value with a GUC such that the iteration
count can be raised in order to increase protection against
brute-force attacks. The hardcoded value for SCRAM iteration
count was defined to be 4096, which is taken from RFC 7677, so
set the default for the GUC to 4096 to match. In RFC 7677 the
recommendation is at least 15000 iterations but 4096 is listed
as a SHOULD requirement given that it's estimated to yield a
0.5s processing time on a mobile handset of the time of RFC
writing (late 2015).
Raising the iteration count of SCRAM will make stored passwords
more resilient to brute-force attacks at a higher computational
cost during connection establishment. Lowering the count will
reduce computational overhead during connections at the tradeoff
of reducing strength against brute-force attacks.
There are however platforms where even a modest iteration count
yields a too high computational overhead, with weaker password
encryption schemes chosen as a result. In these situations,
SCRAM with a very low iteration count still gives benefits over
weaker schemes like md5, so we allow the iteration count to be
set to one at the low end.
The new GUC is intentionally generically named such that it can
be made to support future SCRAM standards should they emerge.
At that point the value can be made into key:value pairs with
an undefined key as a default which will be backwards compatible
with this.

The nested-arrays code path in ExecEvalArrayExpr() used palloc to
allocate the result array, whereas every other array-creating function
has used palloc0 since 18c0b4ecc. This mostly works, but unused bits
past the end of the nulls bitmap may end up undefined. That causes
valgrind complaints with -DWRITE_READ_PARSE_PLAN_TREES, and could
cause planner misbehavior as cited in 18c0b4ecc. There seems no very
good reason why we should strive to avoid palloc0 in just this one case,
so fix it the easy way with s/palloc/palloc0/.
While looking at that I noted that we also failed to check for overflow
of "nbytes" and "nitems" while summing the sizes of the sub-arrays,
potentially allowing a crash due to undersized output allocation.
For "nbytes", follow the policy used by other array-munging code of
checking for overflow after each addition. (As elsewhere, the last
addition of the array's overhead space doesn't need an extra check,
since palloc itself will catch a value between 1Gb and 2Gb.)
For "nitems", there's no very good reason to sum the inputs at all,
since we can perfectly well use ArrayGetNItems' result instead of
ignoring it.
Per discussion of this bug, also remove redundant zeroing of the
nulls bitmap in array_set_element and array_set_slice.

The "partitions_total" and "partitions_done" fields were updated
as though the current level of partitioning was the only one.
In multi-level cases, not only could partitions_total change
over the course of the command, but partitions_done could go
backwards or exceed the currently-reported partitions_total.
Fix by setting partitions_total to the total number of direct
and indirect children once at command start, and then just
incrementing partitions_done at appropriate points. Invent
a new progress monitoring function "pgstat_progress_incr_param"
to simplify doing the latter. We can avoid adding cost for the
former when doing CREATE INDEX, because ProcessUtility already
enumerates the children and it's pretty easy to pass the count
down to DefineIndex. In principle the same could be done in
ALTER TABLE, but that's structurally difficult; for now, just
eat the cost of an extra find_all_inheritors scan in that case.

The fields of NLSVERSIONINFOEX are of type DWORD, which is unsigned
long, so the results of the computations being printed are also of
type unsigned long.
The sslcertmode option controls whether the server is allowed and/or
required to request a certificate from the client. There are three
modes:
- "allow" is the default and follows the current behavior, where a
configured client certificate is sent if the server requests one
(via one of its default locations or sslcert). With the current
implementation, will happen whenever TLS is negotiated.
- "disable" causes the client to refuse to send a client certificate
even if sslcert is configured or if a client certificate is available in
one of its default locations.
- "require" causes the client to fail if a client certificate is never
sent and the server opens a connection anyway. This doesn't add any
additional security, since there is no guarantee that the server is
validating the certificate correctly, but it may helpful to troubleshoot
more complicated TLS setups.
sslcertmode=require requires SSL_CTX_set_cert_cb(), available since
OpenSSL 1.0.2. Note that LibreSSL does not include it.
Using a connection parameter different than require_auth has come up as
the simplest design because certificate authentication does not rely
directly on any of the AUTH_REQ_* codes, and one may want to require a
certificate to be sent in combination of a given authentication method,
like SCRAM-SHA-256.
TAP tests are added in src/test/ssl/, some of them relying on sslinfo to
check if a certificate has been set. These are compatible across all
the versions of OpenSSL supported on HEAD (currently down to 1.0.1).

The "und" locale is an alternative spelling of the root locale, but it
was not recognized until ICU 55. To maintain common behavior across
all supported ICU versions, check for "und" and replace with "root"
before opening.
Previously, the lack of support for "und" was dangerous, because
versions 54 and older fall back to the environment when a locale is
not found. If the user specified "und" for the language (which is
expected and documented), it could not only resolve to the wrong
collator, but it could unexpectedly change (which could lead to
corrupt indexes).
This effectively reverts commit d72900bded, which worked around the

This is evidently not required by most compilers, but buildfarm
member fairywren is unhappy without it. It looks like the meson
infrastructure has this right already.
Prior to the introduction of the compression API in e9960732a9, pg_dump
would use the ZLIB_IN_SIZE/ZLIB_OUT_SIZE to size input/output buffers.
Commit 0da243fed0 introduced similar constants for LZ4, but while gzip
defined both buffers to be 4kB, LZ4 used 4kB and 16kB without any clear
reasoning why that's desirable.
Furthermore, parts of the code unaware of which compression is used
(e.g. pg_backup_directory.c) continued to use ZLIB_OUT_SIZE directly.
Simplify by replacing the various constants with DEFAULT_IO_BUFFER_SIZE,
set to 4kB. The compression implementations still have an option to use
a custom value, but considering 4kB was fine for 20+ years, I find that
unlikely (and we'd probably just increase the default buffer size).
