Adjust the header comment in get_agg_clause_costs so that it matches what
the function currently does. No recursive searching has been done ever
since 0a2bc5d61. It also does not determine the aggtranstype like the
comment claimed. That's all done in preprocess_aggref().
preprocess_aggref also now determines the numOrderedAggs, so remove the
mention that get_agg_clause_costs also calculates "counts".
Normally, since this is just an adjustment of a comment it might not be
worth back-patching, but since this code is new to PG14 and that version
is still in beta, then it seems worth having the comments match.

The point of introducing the hash_mem_multiplier GUC was to let users
reproduce the old behavior of hash aggregation, i.e. that it could use
more than work_mem at need. However, the implementation failed to get
the job done on Win64, where work_mem is clamped to 2GB to protect
various places that calculate memory sizes using "long int". As
written, the same clamp was applied to hash_mem. This resulted in
severe performance regressions for queries requiring a bit more than
2GB for hash aggregation, as they now spill to disk and there's no
way to stop that.
Getting rid of the work_mem restriction seems like a good idea, but
it's a big job and could not conceivably be back-patched. However,
there's only a fairly small number of places that are concerned with
the hash_mem value, and it turns out to be possible to remove the
restriction there without too much code churn or any ABI breaks.
So, let's do that for now to fix the regression, and leave the
larger task for another day.
This patch does introduce a bit more infrastructure that should help
with the larger task, namely pg_bitutils.h support for working with
size_t values.

We have an implementation restriction that PREPARE TRANSACTION can't
handle cases where both session-lifespan and transaction-lifespan locks
are held on the same lockable object. (That's because we'd otherwise
need to acquire a new PROCLOCK entry during post-prepare cleanup, which
is an operation that might fail. The situation can only arise with odd
usages of advisory locks, so removing the restriction is probably not
worth the amount of effort it would take.) AtPrepare_Locks attempted
to enforce this, but its logic was many bricks shy of a load, because
it only detected cases where the session and transaction locks had the
same lockmode. Locks of different modes on the same object would lead
to the rather unhelpful message "PANIC: we seem to have dropped a bit
somewhere".
To fix, build a transient hashtable with one entry per locktag,
not one per locktag + mode, and use that to detect conflicts.

We previously took a hard-line attitude that callers should never print
a null string pointer, and doing so is worthy of an assertion failure
or crash. However, we've long since flushed out any easy-to-find bugs
of that nature. What remains is a lot of code that perhaps could fail
that way in hard-to-reach corner cases. For example, in something as
simple as
ereport(ERROR,
(errcode(ERRCODE_UNDEFINED_OBJECT),
errmsg("constraint \"%s\" for table \"%s\" does not exist",
conname, get_rel_name(relid))));
one must wonder whether it's completely guaranteed that get_rel_name
cannot return NULL in this context. If such a situation did occur,
the existing policy converts what might be a pretty minor bug into
a server crash condition. This is not good for robustness.
Hence, let's follow the lead of glibc and print "(null)" instead
of failing. We should, of course, still consider it a bug if that
behavior is reachable in ordinary use; but crashing seems less
desirable than not crashing.
This fix works across-the-board in v12 and up, where we always use
src/port/snprintf.c. Before that, on most platforms we're at the mercy
of the local libc, but it appears that Solaris 10 is the only supported
platform where we'd still get a crash. Most other platforms such as
*BSD, macOS, and Solaris 11 have adopted glibc's behavior at some
point. (AIX and HPUX just print "" not "(null)", but that's close
enough.) I've not checked what Windows' native printf would do, but
it doesn't matter because we've long used snprintf.c on that platform.
In v12 and up, also const-ify related code so that we're not casting
away const on the constant string. This is just neatnik-ism, since
next to no compilers will warn about that.

This testing was useful when it was written, nigh twenty years ago,

dozen or more years. (Compare also the comments at 8a2121185.)
Also we now have reports that the test program itself fails under
ThreadSanitizer. Rather than invest effort in fixing it, let's
just drop it, and assume that the few people who still care
already know they need to use --disable-thread-safety.

This fixes two compilation failures caused by 6f164e6. Interesting to

Per various buildfarm members.
Most of the integer options for command-line binaries now make use of a
single routine able to do the job, fixing issues with the detection of
sloppy values caused for example by the use of atoi(), that fails on
strings beginning with numerical characters with junk trailing
characters.
This commit cuts down the number of strings requiring translation by 26
per my count, switching the code to have two error types for invalid and
out-of-range values instead.
Much more could be done here, with float or even int64 options, but
int32 was the most appealing case as it is possible to rely on strtol()
to do the job reliably. Note that there are some exceptions for now,
like pg_ctl or pg_upgrade that use their own logging logic. A couple of
negative TAP tests required some adjustments for the new errors
generated.
pg_dump and pg_restore tracked the maximum number of parallel jobs
within the option parsing. The code is refactored a bit to track that
in the code dedicated to parallelism instead.

Renaming triggers on partitioned tables had two problems: first,
it did not recurse to renaming the triggers on the partitions; and

If an error was raised during our initial attempt to check whether
a successfully-compiled expression is "simple", subsequent calls of
exec_stmt_execsql would suppose that stmt->mod_stmt was already computed
when it had not been. This could lead to assertion failures in debug
builds; in production builds the effect would typically be to act as
if INTO STRICT had been specified even when it had not been. Of course
that only matters if the subsequent attempt to execute the expression
succeeds, so that the problem can only be reached by fixing a failure
in some referenced, inline-able SQL function and then retrying the
calling plpgsql function in the same session.
(There might be even-more-obscure ways to change the expression's
behavior without changing the plpgsql function, but that one seems
like the only one people would be likely to hit in practice.)
The most foolproof way to fix this would be to arrange for
exec_prepare_plan to not set expr->plan until we've finished the
subsidiary simple-expression check. But it seems hard to do that
without creating reference-count leak issues. So settle for documenting
the hazard in a comment and fixing exec_stmt_execsql to test separately
for whether it's computed stmt->mod_stmt. (That adds a test-and-branch
per execution, but hopefully that's negligible in context.) In v11 and
up, also fix exec_stmt_call which had a variant of the same issue.

This is a revert of 6cea447, that disabled those tests temporarily on
Windows due to failures with bowerbird where gzflush() would fail when
executed on a freshly-opened compressed and partial segment. This
problem should be taken care of now thanks to 7fbe0c8, so let's see what
the buildfarm has to say on Windows for those tests.
Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/YPDLz2x3o1aX2wRh@paquier.xyz
The logic handling the opening of new WAL segments was fuzzy when using
--compress if a partial, non-compressed, segment with the same base name
existed in the repository storing those files. In this case, using
--compress would cause the code to first check for the existence and the
size of a non-compressed segment, followed by the opening of a new
compressed, partial, segment. The code was accidentally working
correctly on most platforms as the buildfarm has proved, except
bowerbird where gzflush() could fail in this code path. It is wrong
anyway to take the code path used pre-padding when creating a new
partial, non-compressed, segment, so let's fix it.
Note that this issue exists when users mix successive runs of
pg_receivewal with or without compression, as discovered with the tests
introduced by ffc9dda.
While on it, this refactors the code so as code paths that need to know
about the ".gz" suffix are down from four to one in walmethods.c, easing
a bit the introduction of new compression methods. This addresses a
second issue where log messages generated for an unexpected failure
would not show the compressed segment name involved, which was
confusing, printing instead the name of the non-compressed equivalent.
