The previous method for doing that was to write zeroes into a
predetermined set of page locations. However, there's a roughly
1-in-64K chance that the existing checksum will match by chance,
and yesterday several buildfarm animals started to reproducibly
see that, resulting in test failures because no checksum mismatch
was reported.
Since the checksum includes the page LSN, test success depends on
the length of the installation's WAL history, which is affected by
(at least) the initial catalog contents, the set of locales installed
on the system, and the length of the pathname of the test directory.
Sooner or later we were going to hit a chance match, and today is
that day.
Harden these tests by specifically inverting the checksum field and
leaving all else alone, thereby guaranteeing that the checksum is
incorrect.
In passing, fix places that were using seek() to set up for syswrite(),
a combination that the Perl docs very explicitly warn against. We've
probably escaped problems because no regular buffered I/O is done on
these filehandles; but if it ever breaks, we wouldn't deserve or get
much sympathy.
Although we've only seen problems in HEAD, now that we recognize the
environmental dependencies it seems like it might be just a matter
of time until someone manages to hit this in back-branch testing.
Hence, back-patch to v11 where we started doing this kind of test.

This issue is environment-sensitive, where the SSL tests could fail in
various way by feeding on defaults provided by sslcert, sslkey,
sslrootkey, sslrootcert, sslcrl and sslcrldir coming from a local setup,
as of ~/.postgresql/ by default. Horiguchi-san has reported two
failures, but more advanced testing from me (aka inclusion of garbage
SSL configuration in ~/.postgresql/ for all the configuration
parameters) has showed dozens of failures that can be triggered in the
whole test suite.
History has showed that we are not good when it comes to address such
issues, fixing them locally like in dd87799, and such problems keep
appearing. This commit strengthens the entire test suite to put an end
to this set of problems by embedding invalid default values in all the
connection strings used in the tests. The invalid values are prefixed
in each connection string, relying on the follow-up values passed in the
connection string to enforce any invalid value previously set. Note
that two tests related to CRLs are required to fail with certain pre-set
configurations, but we can rely on enforcing an empty value instead
after the invalid set of values.

DROP INDEX needs to lock the index's table before the index itself,
else it will deadlock against ordinary queries that acquire the
relation locks in that order. This is correctly mechanized for
plain indexes by RangeVarCallbackForDropRelation; but in the case of
a partitioned index, we neglected to lock the child tables in advance
of locking the child indexes. We can fix that by traversing the
inheritance tree and acquiring the needed locks in RemoveRelations,
after we have acquired our locks on the parent partitioned table and
index.
While at it, do some refactoring to eliminate confusion between
the actual and expected relkind in RangeVarCallbackForDropRelation.
We can save a couple of syscache lookups too, by having that function
pass back info that RemoveRelations will need.

In commit bf7ca1587, I had the bright idea that we could make the
result of a whole-row Var (that is, foo.*) track any column aliases
that had been applied to the FROM entry the Var refers to. However,
that's not terribly logically consistent, because now the output of
the Var is no longer of the named composite type that the Var claims
to emit. bf7ca1587 tried to handle that by changing the output
tuple values to be labeled with a blessed RECORD type, but that's
really pretty disastrous: we can wind up storing such tuples onto
disk, whereupon they're not readable by other sessions.
The only practical fix I can see is to give up on what bf7ca1587
tried to do, and say that the column names of tuples produced by
a whole-row Var are always those of the underlying named composite
type, query aliases or no. While this introduces some inconsistencies,
it removes others, so it's not that awful in the abstract. What *is*
kind of awful is to make such a behavioral change in a back-patched
bug fix. But corrupt data is worse, so back-patched it will be.
(A workaround available to anyone who's unhappy about this is to
introduce an extra level of sub-SELECT, so that the whole-row Var is
referring to the sub-SELECT's output and not to a named table type.
Then the Var is of type RECORD to begin with and there's no issue.)

When cleaning up temporary objects during process exit the cleanup could fail
with:
FATAL: cannot fetch toast data without an active snapshot
The bug is caused by RemoveTempRelationsCallback() not setting up a
snapshot. If an object with toasted catalog data needs to be cleaned up,
init_toast_snapshot() could fail with the above error.
Most of the time however the the problem is masked due to cached catalog
snapshots being returned by GetOldestSnapshot(). But dropping an object can
cause catalog invalidations to be emitted. If no further catalog accesses are
necessary between the invalidation processing and the next toast datum
deletion, the bug becomes visible.
It's easy to miss this bug because it typically happens after clients
disconnect and the FATAL error just ends up in the log.
Luckily temporary table cleanup at the next use of the same temporary schema
or during DISCARD ALL does not have the same problem.
Fix the bug by pushing a snapshot in RemoveTempRelationsCallback(). Also add
isolation tests for temporary object cleanup, including objects with toasted
catalog data.

Previously, unless we had to add a NOT NULL constraint to the column,
this command resulted in updating only the index's relcache entry.
That's problematic when replication behavior is being driven off the
existence of a primary key: other sessions (and ours too for that
matter) failed to recalculate their opinion of whether the table can
be replicated. Add a relcache invalidation to fix it.

Commits 6c4a8903b et al. had a couple of deficiencies:
* The logic I added to Cluster::start to see if a PID file is present
could be fooled by a stale PID file left over from a previous
postmaster. To fix, if we're not sure whether we expect to find a
running postmaster or not, validate the PID using "kill 0".
* 017_shm.pl has a loop in which it just issues repeated Cluster::start
calls; this will fail if some invocation fails but leaves self->_pid
set. Per buildfarm results, the above fix is not enough to make this
safe: we might have "validated" a PID for a postmaster that exits
immediately after we look. Hence, match each failed start call with
a stop call that will get us back to the self->_pid == undef state.
Add a fail_ok option to Cluster::stop to make this work.

Commit 859b3003de disabled building of extended stats for inheritance
trees, to prevent updating the same catalog row twice. While that
resolved the issue, it also means there are no extended stats for
declaratively partitioned tables, because there are no data in the
non-leaf relations.
That also means declaratively partitioned tables were not affected by
the issue 859b3003de addressed, which means this is a regression
affecting queries that calculate estimates for the whole inheritance
tree as a whole (which includes e.g. GROUP BY queries).
But because partitioned tables are empty, we can invert the condition
and build statistics only for the case with inheritance, without losing
anything. And we can consider them when calculating estimates.
It may be necessary to run ANALYZE on partitioned tables, to collect
proper statistics. For declarative partitioning there should no prior
statistics, and it might take time before autoanalyze is triggered. For
tables partitioned by inheritance the statistics may include data from
child relations (if built 859b3003de), contradicting the current code.

Since commit 859b3003de we only build extended statistics for individual
relations, ignoring the child relations. This resolved the issue with
updating catalog tuple twice, but we still tried to use the statistics
when calculating estimates for the whole inheritance tree. When the
relations contain very distinct data, it may produce bogus estimates.
This is roughly the same issue 427c6b5b9 addressed ~15 years ago, and we
fix it the same way - by ignoring extended statistics when calculating
estimates for the inheritance tree as a whole. We still consider
extended statistics when calculating estimates for individual child
relations, of course.
This may result in plan changes due to different estimates, but if the
old statistics were not describing the inheritance tree particularly
well it's quite likely the new plans is actually better.

Commit 4ace45677 failed to fix the problem fully, because the
same issue of attempting to fetch a non-returnable index column
can occur when rechecking the indexqual after using a lossy index
operator. Moreover, it broke EXPLAIN for such indexquals (which
indicates a gap in our test cases :-().
Revert the code changes of 4ace45677 in favor of adding a new field
to struct IndexOnlyScan, containing a version of the indexqual that
can be executed against the index-returned tuple without using any
non-returnable columns. (The restrictions imposed by check_index_only
guarantee this is possible, although we may have to recompute indexed
expressions.) Support construction of that during setrefs.c
processing by marking IndexOnlyScan.indextlist entries as resjunk
if they can't be returned, rather than removing them entirely.
(We could alternatively require setrefs.c to look up the IndexOptInfo
again, but abusing resjunk this way seems like a reasonably safe way
to avoid needing to do that.)
This solution isn't great from an API-stability standpoint: if there
are any extensions out there that build IndexOnlyScan structs directly,
they'll be broken in the next minor releases. However, only a very
invasive extension would be likely to do such a thing. There's no
change in the Path representation, so typical planner extensions
shouldn't have a problem.

If an index has both returnable and non-returnable columns, and one of
the non-returnable columns is an expression using a Var that is in a
returnable column, then a query returning that expression could result
in an index-only scan plan that attempts to read the non-returnable
column, instead of recomputing the expression from the returnable
column as intended.
To fix, redefine the "indextlist" list of an IndexOnlyScan plan node
as containing null Consts in place of any non-returnable columns.
This solves the problem by preventing setrefs.c from falsely matching
to such entries. The executor is happy since it only cares about the
exposed types of the entries, and ruleutils.c doesn't care because a
correct plan won't reference those entries. I considered some other
ways to prevent setrefs.c from doing the wrong thing, but this way
seems good since (a) it allows a very localized fix, (b) it makes
the indextlist structure more compact in many cases, and (c) the
indextlist is now a more faithful representation of what the index AM
will actually produce, viz. nulls for any non-returnable columns.
This is easier to hit since we introduced included columns, but it's
possible to construct failing examples without that, as per the
added regression test. Hence, back-patch to all supported branches.

This commit adds to the main regression test suite a table with all
the in-core data types (some exceptions apply). This table is not
dropped, so as pg_upgrade would be able to check the binary
compatibility of the types tracked in the table. If a new type is added
in core, this part of the tests would need a refresh but the tests are
designed to fail if that were to happen.
As this is useful for upgrades and that these rely on the objects
created in the regression test suite of the old version upgraded from,
a backpatch down to 12 is done, which is the last point where a binary
incompatible change has been done (7c15cef). This will hopefully be
enough to find out if something gets broken during the development of a

An area that is not covered yet is related to external modules, which
may create their own types. The testing infrastructure of pg_upgrade is
not integrated yet with the external modules stored in core
(src/test/modules/ or contrib/, all use the same database name for their

Commits fdd965d07 and 3cd9c3b92 tested CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY by
launching two separate pgbench runs concurrently. This was needed so
that only a single client thread would run CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY,
avoiding deadlock between two CICs. However, there's a better way,
which is to use an advisory lock to prevent concurrent CICs. That's
better in part because the test code is shorter and more readable, but
mostly because it automatically scales things to launch an appropriate
number of CICs relative to the number of INSERT transactions.
As committed, typically half to three-quarters of the CIC transactions
were pointless because the INSERT transactions had already stopped.

ldapsearch's deprecated -h/-p arguments were removed, need to use -H now -
which has been around for over 20 years.
As perltidy insists on reflowing the parameters anyway, change order and
"phrasing" to yield a less confusing layout (per suggestion from Tom Lane).

Backpatch: 11-, where the tests were added.
An update such as "UPDATE ... SET fld[n].subfld = whatever"
failed if the array elements were domains rather than plain
composites. That's because isAssignmentIndirectionExpr()
failed to cope with the CoerceToDomain node that would appear
in the expression tree in this case. The result would typically
be a crash, and even if we accidentally didn't crash, we'd not
correctly preserve other fields of the same array element.
Per report from Onder Kalaci. Back-patch to v11 where arrays of
domains came in.

Failing to do that, any direct inserts/updates of those partitions
would fail to enforce the correct constraint, that is, one that
considers the new partition constraint of their parent table.
Backpatch to 10.

The test code added with ff9f111bce fails under valgrind, and probably
other slow cases too, because if (say) autovacuum runs in between and
produces WAL of its own, the large INSERT fails to account for that in
the LSN calculations. Rewrite to use a DO loop.
Per complaint from Andres Freund
Backpatch to all branches.

Incrementing the level of the call stack reported is useful for
debugging purposes as it allows to control which part of the test is
exactly failing, especially if a test is structured with subroutines
that call routines from Test::More.
This adds more incrementations of $Test::Builder::Level where debugging
gets improved (for example it does not make sense for some paths like
pg_rewind where long subroutines are used).
A note is added to src/test/perl/README about that, based on a
suggestion from Andrew Dunstan and a wording coming from both of us.
Usage of Test::Builder::Level has spread in 12, so a backpatch down to
this version is done.

Backpatch-through: 12
This fixes a loss of precision that occurs when the first input is
very close to 1, so that its logarithm is very small.
Formerly, during the initial low-precision calculation to estimate the
result weight, the logarithm was computed to a local rscale that was
capped to NUMERIC_MAX_DISPLAY_SCALE (1000). However, the base may be
as close as 1e-16383 to 1, hence its logarithm may be as small as
1e-16383, and so the local rscale needs to be allowed to exceed 16383,
otherwise all precision is lost, leading to a poor choice of rscale
for the full-precision calculation.
Fix this by removing the cap on the local rscale during the initial
low-precision calculation, as we already do in the full-precision
calculation. This doesn't change the fact that the initial calculation
is a low-precision approximation, computing the logarithm to around 8
significant digits, which is very fast, especially when the base is
very close to 1.
Patch by me, reviewed by Alvaro Herrera.

3c5b0685b9 used setFilePointer() to set the position of the filehandle, but
passed the wrong filehandle, always leaving the position at 0. Instead of just
fixing that, remove use of setFilePointer(), we have a perl fd at this point,
so we can just use perl's seek().
Additionally, the perl filehandle wasn't closed, just the windows filehandle.
