In the spirit of 890192e99af and 4464303405f: have get_object_address
understand individual pg_amop and pg_amproc objects. There is no way to
refer to such objects directly in the grammar -- rather, they are almost
always considered an integral part of the opfamily that contains them.
(The only case that deals with them individually is ALTER OPERATOR
FAMILY ADD/DROP, which carries the opfamily address separately and thus
does not need it to be part of each added/dropped element's address.)
In event triggers it becomes possible to become involved with individual
amop/amproc elements, and this commit enables pg_get_object_address to
do so as well.
To make the overall coding simpler, this commit also slightly changes
the get_object_address representation for opclasses and opfamilies:
instead of having the AM name in the objargs array, I moved it as the
first element of the objnames array. This enables the new code to use
objargs for the type names used by pg_amop and pg_amproc.

This patch fixes two inadequacies of the PlanRowMark representation.
First, that the original LockingClauseStrength isn't stored (and cannot be
inferred for foreign tables, which always get ROW_MARK_COPY). Since some
PlanRowMarks are created out of whole cloth and don't actually have an
ancestral RowMarkClause, this requires adding a dummy LCS_NONE value to
enum LockingClauseStrength, which is fairly annoying but the alternatives
seem worse. This fix allows getting rid of the use of get_parse_rowmark()
in FDWs (as per the discussion around commits 462bd95705a0c23b and
8ec8760fc87ecde0), and it simplifies some things elsewhere.
Second, that the representation assumed that all child tables in an
inheritance hierarchy would use the same RowMarkType. That's true today
but will soon not be true. We add an "allMarkTypes" field that identifies
the union of mark types used in all a parent table's children, and use
that where appropriate (currently, only in preprocess_targetlist()).
In passing fix a couple of minor infelicities left over from the SKIP
LOCKED patch, notably that _outPlanRowMark still thought waitPolicy
is a bool.
Catversion bump is required because the numeric values of enum
LockingClauseStrength can appear in on-disk rules.
Extracted from a much larger patch to support foreign table inheritance;
it seemed worth breaking this out, since it's a separable concern.

Since 465883b0a two versions of commit records have existed. A compact
version that was used when no cache invalidations, smgr unlinks and
similar were needed, and a full version that could deal with all
that. Additionally the full version was embedded into twophase commit
records.
That resulted in a measurable reduction in the size of the logged WAL in
some workloads. But more recently additions like logical decoding, which
e.g. needs information about the database something was executed on,
made it applicable in fewer situations. The static split generally made
it hard to expand the commit record, because concerns over the size made
it hard to add anything to the compact version.
Additionally it's not particularly pretty to have twophase.c insert
RM_XACT records.
Rejigger things so that the commit and abort records only have one form
each, including the twophase equivalents. The presence of the various
optional (in the sense of not being in every record) pieces is indicated
by a bits in the 'xinfo' flag. That flag previously was not included in
compact commit records. To prevent an increase in size due to its
presence, it's only included if necessary; signalled by a bit in the
xl_info bits available for xact.c, similar to heapam.c's
XLOG_HEAP_OPMASK/XLOG_HEAP_INIT_PAGE.
Twophase commit/aborts are now the same as their normal
counterparts. The original transaction's xid is included in an optional
data field.
This means that commit records generally are smaller, except in the case
of a transaction with subtransactions, but no other special cases; the
increase there is four bytes, which seems acceptable given that the more
common case of not having subtransactions shrank. The savings are
especially measurable for twophase commits, which previously always used
the full version; but will in practice only infrequently have required
that.
The motivation for this work are not the space savings and and
deduplication though; it's that it makes it easier to extend commit
records with additional information. That's just a few lines of code
now; without impacting the common case where that information is not
needed.

The introduction of min_wal_size & max_wal_size in 88e982302684 makes it
feasible to increase the default upper bound in checkpoint
size. Previously raising the default would lead to a increased disk
footprint, even if more segments weren't beneficial. The low default of
checkpoint size is one of common performance problem users have thus
increasing the default makes sense. Setups where the increase in
maximum disk usage is a problem will very likely have to run with a
modified configuration anyway.

The ROW_MARK_COPY path in EvalPlanQualFetchRowMarks() was just setting
tableoid to InvalidOid, I think on the assumption that the referenced
RTE must be a subquery or other case without a meaningful OID. However,
foreign tables also use this code path, and they do have meaningful
table OIDs; so failure to set the tuple field can lead to user-visible
misbehavior. Fix that by fetching the appropriate OID from the range
table.
There's still an issue about whether CTID can ever have a meaningful
value in this case; at least with postgres_fdw foreign tables, it does.
But that is a different problem that seems to require a significantly
different patch --- it's debatable whether postgres_fdw really wants to
use this code path at all.
Simplified version of a patch by Etsuro Fujita, who also noted the
problem to begin with. The issue can be demonstrated in all versions
having FDWs, so back-patch to 9.1.

We can't handle this in the general case due to limitations of the
planner's data representations; but we can allow it in many useful cases,
by being careful to flatten only when we are pulling a single-row subquery
up into a FROM (or, equivalently, inner JOIN) node that will still have at
least one remaining relation child. Per discussion of an example from
Kyotaro Horiguchi.

While poking at David Kubečka's issue I noticed an ancient logic error
in get_loop_count(): it used 1.0 as a "no data yet" indicator, but since
that is actually a valid rowcount estimate, this doesn't work. If we
have one input relation with 1.0 as rowcount and then another one with
a larger rowcount, we should use 1.0 as the result, but we picked the
larger rowcount instead. (I think when I coded this, I recognized the
conflict, but mistakenly thought that the logic would pick the desired
count anyway.)
Fixing this changed the plan for one existing regression test case.
Since the point of that test is to exercise creation of a particular
shape of nestloop plan, I tweaked the query a little bit so it still
results in the same plan choice.
This is definitely a bug, but I'm hesitant to back-patch since it might
change plan choices unexpectedly, and anyway failure to implement a
heuristic precisely as intended is a pretty low-grade bug.

If we have a semijoin, say
SELECT * FROM x WHERE x1 IN (SELECT y1 FROM y)
and we're estimating the cost of a parameterized indexscan on x, the number
of repetitions of the indexscan should not be taken as the size of y; it'll
really only be the number of distinct values of y1, because the only valid
plan with y on the outside of a nestloop would require y to be unique-ified
before joining it to x. Most of the time this doesn't make that much
difference, but sometimes it can lead to drastically underestimating the
cost of the indexscan and hence choosing a bad plan, as pointed out by
David Kubečka.
Fixing this is a bit difficult because parameterized indexscans are costed
out quite early in the planning process, before we have the information
that would be needed to call estimate_num_groups() and thereby estimate the
number of distinct values of the join column(s). However we can move the
code that extracts a semijoin RHS's unique-ification columns, so that it's
done in initsplan.c rather than on-the-fly in create_unique_path(). That
shouldn't make any difference speed-wise and it's really a bit cleaner too.
The other bit of information we need is the size of the semijoin RHS,
which is easy if it's a single relation (we make those estimates before
considering indexscan costs) but problematic if it's a join relation.
The solution adopted here is just to use the product of the sizes of the
join component rels. That will generally be an overestimate, but since
estimate_num_groups() only uses this input as a clamp, an overestimate
shouldn't hurt us too badly. In any case we don't allow this new logic
to produce a value larger than we would have chosen before, so that at
worst an overestimate leaves us no wiser than we were before.

Since commit 72dd233d3ef we were trying to obtain object addressing
information in sql_drop event triggers, but that caused failures when
the drops involved user mappings. This addition enables that to work
again. Naturally, pg_get_object_address can work with these objects
now, too.
I toyed with the idea of removing DropUserMappingStmt as a node and
using DropStmt instead in the DropUserMappingStmt grammar production,
but that didn't go very well: for one thing the messages thrown by the
specific code are specialized (you get "server not found" if you specify
the wrong server, instead of a generic "user mapping for ... not found"
which you'd get it we were to merge this with RemoveObjects --- unless
we added even more special cases). For another thing, it would require
to pass RoleSpec nodes through the objname/objargs representation used
by RemoveObjects, which works in isolation, but gets messy when
pg_get_object_address is involved. So I dropped this part for now.

While the SQL standard is pretty vague on the overall topic of operator
precedence (because it never presents a unified BNF for all expressions),
it does seem reasonable to conclude from the spec for <boolean value
expression> that OR has the lowest precedence, then AND, then NOT, then IS
tests, then the six standard comparison operators, then everything else
(since any non-boolean operator in a WHERE clause would need to be an
argument of one of these).
We were only sort of on board with that: most notably, while "<" ">" and
"=" had properly low precedence, "<=" ">=" and "<>" were treated as generic
operators and so had significantly higher precedence. And "IS" tests were
even higher precedence than those, which is very clearly wrong per spec.
Another problem was that "foo NOT SOMETHING bar" constructs, such as
"x NOT LIKE y", were treated inconsistently because of a bison
implementation artifact: they had the documented precedence with respect
to operators to their right, but behaved like NOT (i.e., very low priority)
with respect to operators to their left.
Fixing the precedence issues is just a small matter of rearranging the
precedence declarations in gram.y, except for the NOT problem, which
requires adding an additional lookahead case in base_yylex() so that we
can attach a different token precedence to NOT LIKE and allied two-word
operators.
The bulk of this patch is not the bug fix per se, but adding logic to
parse_expr.c to allow giving warnings if an expression has changed meaning
because of these precedence changes. These warnings are off by default
and are enabled by the new GUC operator_precedence_warning. It's believed
that very few applications will be affected by these changes, but it was
agreed that a warning mechanism is essential to help debug any that are.

Error messages informing the user that no such column exists can
sometimes provoke a perplexed response. This often happens due to
a subtle typo in the column name or, perhaps less likely, in the
alias name. To speed discovery of what the real issue is in such
cases, we'll now search the range table for approximate matches.
If there are one or two such matches that are good enough to think
that they might be what the user intended to type, and better than
all other approximate matches, we'll issue a hint suggesting that
the user might have intended to reference those columns.

Until now __attribute__() was defined to be empty for all compilers but
gcc. That's problematic because it prevents using it in other compilers;
which is necessary e.g. for atomics portability. It's also just
generally dubious to do so in a header as widely included as c.h.
Instead add pg_attribute_format_arg, pg_attribute_printf,
pg_attribute_noreturn macros which are implemented in the compilers that
understand them. Also add pg_attribute_noreturn and pg_attribute_packed,
but don't provide fallbacks, since they can affect functionality.
This means that external code that, possibly unwittingly, relied on
__attribute__ defined to be empty on !gcc compilers may now run into
warnings or errors on those compilers. But there shouldn't be many
occurances of that and it's hard to work around...

When newly-added GUC parameter, wal_compression, is on, the PostgreSQL server
compresses a full page image written to WAL when full_page_writes is on or
during a base backup. A compressed page image will be decompressed during WAL
replay. Turning this parameter on can reduce the WAL volume without increasing
the risk of unrecoverable data corruption, but at the cost of some extra CPU
spent on the compression during WAL logging and on the decompression during
WAL replay.
This commit changes the WAL format (so bumping WAL version number) so that
the one-byte flag indicating whether a full page image is compressed or not is
included in its header information. This means that the commit increases the
WAL volume one-byte per a full page image even if WAL compression is not used
at all. We can save that one-byte by borrowing one-bit from the existing field
like hole_offset in the header and using it as the flag, for example. But which
would reduce the code readability and the extensibility of the feature.
Per discussion, it's not worth paying those prices to save only one-byte, so we
decided to add the one-byte flag to the header.
This commit doesn't introduce any new compression algorithm like lz4.
Currently a full page image is compressed using the existing PGLZ algorithm.
Per discussion, we decided to use it at least in the first version of the
feature because there were no performance reports showing that its compression
ratio is unacceptably lower than that of other algorithm. Of course,
in the future, it's worth considering the support of other compression
algorithm for the better compression.

SQL has standardized on => as the use of to specify named parameters,
and we've wanted for many years to support the same syntax ourselves,

named => was defined, and in PostgreSQL 9.2, we stopped shipping a
=>(text, text) operator as part of hstore. By the time the next major

relying on it. We continue to support := for compatibility with

genericcostestimate() and friends used the cost of the entire indexqual
expressions as the charge for initial evaluation of indexscan arguments.
But of course the index column is not evaluated, only the other side
of the qual expression, so this was a bad overestimate if the index
column was an expensive expression.
To fix, refactor the logic in this area so that there's a single routine
charged with deconstructing index quals and figuring out what is the index
column and what is the comparison expression. This is more or less free in
the case of btree indexes, since btcostestimate() was doing equivalent
deconstruction already. It probably adds a bit of new overhead in the cases
of other index types, but not a lot. (In the case of GIN I think I saved
something by getting rid of code that wasn't aware that the index column
associations were already available "for free".)

This code relied on pointer equality to identify which restriction clauses
also appear in the indexquals (and, therefore, don't need to be applied as
simple filter conditions). That was okay once upon a time, years ago,
before we introduced the equivalence-class machinery. Now there's about a
50-50 chance that an equality clause appearing in the indexquals will be
the mirror image (commutator) of its mate in the restriction list. When
that happens, we'd erroneously think that the clause would be re-evaluated
at each visited row, and therefore inflate the cost estimate for the
indexscan by the clause's cost.
Add some logic to catch this case. It seems to me that it continues not to
be worthwhile to expend the extra predicate-proof work that createplan.c
will do on the finally-selected plan, but this case is common enough and
cheap enough to handle that we should do so.
This will make a small difference (about one cpu_operator_cost per row)
in simple cases; but in situations where there's an expensive function in
the indexquals, it can make a very large difference, as seen in recent
example from Jeff Janes.
This is a long-standing bug, but I'm hesitant to back-patch because of the
possibility of destabilizing plan choices that people may be happy with.

The changed routines are mostly those that can be directly called by
ProcessUtilitySlow; the intention is to make the affected object
information more precise, in support for future event trigger changes.
Originally it was envisioned that the OID of the affected object would
be enough, and in most cases that is correct, but upon actually
implementing the event trigger changes it turned out that ObjectAddress
is more widely useful.
Additionally, some command execution routines grew an output argument
that's an object address which provides further info about the executed
command. To wit:
* for ALTER DOMAIN / ADD CONSTRAINT, it corresponds to the address of
the new constraint
* for ALTER OBJECT / SET SCHEMA, it corresponds to the address of the
schema that originally contained the object.
* for ALTER EXTENSION {ADD, DROP} OBJECT, it corresponds to the address

Previously, we cached domain constraints for the life of a query, or
really for the life of the FmgrInfo struct that was used to invoke
domain_in() or domain_check(). But plpgsql (and probably other places)
are set up to cache such FmgrInfos for the whole lifespan of a session,
which meant they could be enforcing really stale sets of constraints.
On the other hand, searching pg_constraint once per query gets kind of
expensive too: testing says that as much as half the runtime of a
trivial query such as "SELECT 0::domaintype" went into that.
To fix this, delegate the responsibility for tracking a domain's
constraints to the typcache, which has the infrastructure needed to
detect syscache invalidation events that signal possible changes.
This not only removes unnecessary repeat reads of pg_constraint,
but ensures that we never apply stale constraint data: whatever we
use is the current data according to syscache rules.
Unfortunately, the current configuration of the system catalogs means
we have to flush cached domain-constraint data whenever either pg_type
or pg_constraint changes, which happens rather a lot (eg, creation or
deletion of a temp table will do it). It might be worth rearranging
things to split pg_constraint into two catalogs, of which the domain
constraint one would probably be very low-traffic. That's a job for
another patch though, and in any case this patch should improve matters
materially even with that handicap.
This patch makes use of the recently-added memory context reset callback
feature to manage the lifespan of domain constraint caches, so that we
don't risk deleting a cache that might be in the midst of evaluation.
Although this is a bug fix as well as a performance improvement, no
back-patch. There haven't been many if any field complaints about
stale domain constraint checks, so it doesn't seem worth taking the
risk of modifying data structures as basic as MemoryContexts in back
branches.

That is, MemoryContextReset() now means what was formerly meant by

alias for the former. If you really want the functionality that was
formerly provided by MemoryContextReset(), what you have to do is
MemoryContextResetChildren() plus MemoryContextResetOnly() (which is a

The reason for this change is that near fifteen years of experience has
proven that there is noplace where old-style MemoryContextReset() is
actually what you want. Making that the default behavior has led to lots
of context-leakage bugs, while we've not found anyplace where it's actually
necessary to keep the child contexts; at least the standard regression
tests do not reveal anyplace where this change breaks anything. And there
are upcoming patches that will introduce additional reasons why child
contexts need to be removed.
We could change existing calls of MemoryContextResetAndDeleteChildren to be
just MemoryContextReset, but for the moment I'll leave them alone; they're
not costing anything.

The way that columns are added to a view is by calling
AlterTableInternal with special subtype AT_AddColumnToView; but that
subtype is changed to AT_AddColumnRecurse by ATPrepAddColumn. This has
no visible effect in the current code, since views cannot have
inheritance children (thus the recursion step is a no-op) and adding a
column to a view is executed identically to doing it to a table; but it
does make a difference for future event trigger code keeping track of
commands, because the current situation leads to confusing the case with
a normal ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN.
Fix the problem by passing a flag to ATPrepAddColumn to prevent it from
changing the command subtype. The event trigger code can then properly
ignore the subcommand. (We could remove the call to ATPrepAddColumn,
since views are never typed, and there is never a need for recursion,
which are the two conditions that are checked by ATPrepAddColumn; but it
seems more future-proof to keep the call in place.)

This allows cleanup actions to be registered to be called just before a
particular memory context's contents are flushed (either by deletion or
MemoryContextReset). The patch in itself has no use-cases for this, but
several likely reasons for wanting this exist.
In passing, per discussion, rearrange some boolean fields in struct
MemoryContextData so as to avoid wasted padding space. For safety,
this requires making allowInCritSection's existence unconditional;
but I think that's a better approach than what was there anyway.

Typo "aggreagate" appeared three times, and the return value of function
JsonbIteratorNext() was being assigned to an int variable in a bunch of
places.
