amcheck: Fix snapshot usage in bt_index_parent_check
We were using SnapshotAny to do some index checks, but that's wrong and
causes spurious errors when used on indexes created by CREATE INDEX
CONCURRENTLY.  Fix it to use an MVCC snapshot, and add a test for it.

Backpatch of 6bd469d26a to branches 14-16.  I previously misidentified
the bug's origin: it came in with commit 7f563c09f8 (pg11-era, not
5ae2087202 as claimed previously), so all live branches are affected.

Also take the opportunity to fix some comments that we failed to update
in the original commits and apply pgperltidy.  In branch 14, remove the
unnecessary test plan specification (which would have need to have been
changed anyway; c.f. commit 549ec201d613.)

ad569b54a1 Don't set the truncation block length greater than RELSEG_SIZE.
When faced with a relation containing more than 1 physical segment
(i.e. >1GB, with normal settings), the previous code could compute a
truncation block length greater than RELSEG_SIZE, which could lead to
restore failures of this form:

file "%s" has truncation block length %u in excess of segment size %u

The fix is simply to clamp the maximum computed truncation_block_length
to RELSEG_SiZE. I have also added some comments to clarify the logic.

The test case was written by Oleg Tkachenko, but I have rewritten its
comments.

05ef2371a3 Fix error message related to end TLI in backup manifest
The code adding the WAL information included in a backup manifest is
cross-checked with the contents of the timeline history file of the end
timeline.  A check based on the end timeline, when it fails, reported
the value of the start timeline in the error message.  This error is
fixed to show the correct timeline number in the report.

This error report would be confusing for users if seen, because it would
provide an incorrect information, so backpatch all the way down.

4071fe900e Fix segfault from releasing locks in detached DSM segments
If a FATAL error occurs while holding a lock in a DSM segment (such
as a dshash lock) and the process is not in a transaction, a
segmentation fault can occur during process exit.

The problem sequence is:

 1. Process acquires a lock in a DSM segment (e.g., via dshash)
 2. FATAL error occurs outside transaction context
 3. proc_exit() begins, calling before_shmem_exit callbacks
 4. dsm_backend_shutdown() detaches all DSM segments
 5. Later, on_shmem_exit callbacks run
 6. ProcKill() calls LWLockReleaseAll()
 7. Segfault: the lock being released is in unmapped memory

This only manifests outside transaction contexts because
AbortTransaction() calls LWLockReleaseAll() during transaction
abort, releasing locks before DSM cleanup. Background workers and
other non-transactional code paths are vulnerable.

Fix by calling LWLockReleaseAll() unconditionally at the start of
shmem_exit(), before any callbacks run. Releasing locks before
callbacks prevents the segfault - locks must be released before
dsm_backend_shutdown() detaches their memory. This is safe because
after an error, held locks are protecting potentially inconsistent
data anyway, and callbacks can acquire fresh locks if needed.

Also add a comment noting that LWLockReleaseAll() must be safe to
call before LWLock initialization (which it is, since
num_held_lwlocks will be 0), plus an Assert for the post-condition.

This fix aligns with the original design intent from commit
001a573a2, which noted that backends must clean up shared memory
state (including releasing lwlocks) before unmapping dynamic shared
memory segments.

c3770181c8 Fix 'unexpected data beyond EOF' on replica restart
On restart, a replica can fail with an error like 'unexpected data
beyond EOF in block 200 of relation T/D/R'. These are the steps to
reproduce it:

- A relation has a size of 400 blocks.
  - Blocks 201 to 400 are empty.
  - Block 200 has two rows.
  - Blocks 100 to 199 are empty.
- A restartpoint is done
- Vacuum truncates the relation to 200 blocks
- A FPW deletes a row in block 200
- A checkpoint is done
- A FPW deletes the last row in block 200
- Vacuum truncates the relation to 100 blocks
- The replica restarts

When the replica restarts:

- The relation on disk starts at 100 blocks, because all the
  truncations were applied before restart.
- The first truncate to 200 blocks is replayed. It silently fails, but
  it will still (incorrectly!) update the cache size to 200 blocks
- The first FPW on block 200 is applied. XLogReadBufferForRead relies
  on the cached size and incorrectly assumes that the page already
  exists in the file, and thus won't extend the relation.
- The online checkpoint record is replayed, calling smgrdestroyall
  which causes the cached size to be discarded
- The second FPW on block 200 is applied. This time, the detected size
  is 100 blocks, an extend is attempted. However, the block 200 is
  already present in the buffer cache due to the first FPW. This
  triggers the 'unexpected data beyond EOF'.

To fix, update the cached size in SmgrRelation with the current size
rather than the requested new size, when the requested new size is
greater.

d3ad4cef6e Add check for invalid offset at multixid truncation
If a multixid with zero offset is left behind after a crash, and that
multixid later becomes the oldest multixid, truncation might try to
look up its offset and read the zero value. In the worst case, we
might incorrectly use the zero offset to truncate valid SLRU segments
that are still needed. I'm not sure if that can happen in practice, or
if there are some other lower-level safeguards or incidental reasons
that prevent the caller from passing an unwritten multixid as the
oldest multi. But better safe than sorry, so let's add an explicit
check for it.

In stable branches, we should perhaps do the same check for
'oldestOffset', i.e. the offset of the old oldest multixid (in master,
'oldestOffset' is gone). But if the old oldest multixid has an invalid
offset, the damage has been done already, and we would never advance
past that point. It's not clear what we should do in that case. The
check that this commit adds will prevent such an multixid with invalid
offset from becoming the oldest multixid in the first place, which
seems enough for now.

84b787ae66 Fix possible incorrect column reference in ERROR message
When creating a partition for a RANGE partitioned table, the reporting
of errors relating to converting the specified range values into
constant values for the partition key's type could display the name of a
previous partition key column when an earlier range was specified as
MINVALUE or MAXVALUE.

This was caused by the code not correctly incrementing the index that
tracks which partition key the foreach loop was working on after
processing MINVALUE/MAXVALUE ranges.

Fix by using foreach_current_index() to ensure the index variable is
always set to the List element being worked on.

3510ebeb0d Prevent invalidation of newly created replication slots.
A race condition could cause a newly created replication slot to become
invalidated between WAL reservation and a checkpoint.

Previously, if the required WAL was removed, we retried the reservation
process. However, the slot could still be invalidated before the retry if
the WAL was not yet removed but the checkpoint advanced the redo pointer
beyond the slot's intended restart LSN and computed the minimum LSN that
needs to be preserved for the slots.

The fix is to acquire an exclusive lock on ReplicationSlotAllocationLock
during WAL reservation, and a shared lock during the minimum LSN
calculation at checkpoints to serialize the process. This ensures that, if
WAL reservation occurs first, the checkpoint waits until restart_lsn is
updated before calculating the minimum LSN. If the checkpoint runs first,
subsequent WAL reservations pick a position at or after the latest
checkpoint's redo pointer.

We used a similar fix in HEAD (via commit 006dd4b2e5) and 18. The
difference is that in 17 and prior branches we need to additionally handle
the race condition with slot's minimum LSN computation during checkpoints.

bb08ac7ac3 Fix issue with EVENT TRIGGERS and ALTER PUBLICATION
When processing the "publish" options of an ALTER PUBLICATION command,
we call SplitIdentifierString() to split the options into a List of
strings.  Since SplitIdentifierString() modifies the delimiter
character and puts NULs in their place, this would overwrite the memory
of the AlterPublicationStmt.  Later in AlterPublicationOptions(), the
modified AlterPublicationStmt is copied for event triggers, which would
result in the event trigger only seeing the first "publish" option
rather than all options that were specified in the command.

To fix this, make a copy of the string before passing to
SplitIdentifierString().

Here we also adjust a similar case in the pgoutput plugin.  There's no
known issues caused by SplitIdentifierString() here, so this is being
done out of paranoia.

Thanks to Henson Choi for putting together an example case showing the
ALTER PUBLICATION issue.

7a990e801a Honor GUC settings specified in CREATE SUBSCRIPTION CONNECTION.
Prior to v15, GUC settings supplied in the CONNECTION clause of
CREATE SUBSCRIPTION were correctly passed through to
the publisher's walsender. For example:

        CREATE SUBSCRIPTION mysub
            CONNECTION 'options=''-c wal_sender_timeout=1000'''
            PUBLICATION ...

would cause wal_sender_timeout to take effect on the publisher's walsender.

However, commit f3d4019da5 changed the way logical replication
connections are established, forcing the publisher's relevant
GUC settings (datestyle, intervalstyle, extra_float_digits) to
override those provided in the CONNECTION string. As a result,
from v15 through v18, GUC settings in the CONNECTION string were
always ignored.

This regression prevented per-connection tuning of logical replication.
For example, using a shorter timeout for walsender connecting
to a nearby subscriber and a longer one for walsender connecting
to a remote subscriber.

This commit restores the intended behavior by ensuring that
GUC settings in the CONNECTION string are again passed through
and applied by the walsender, allowing per-connection configuration.

Backpatch to v15, where the regression was introduced.

a5f2dc421f Fix selectivity estimation integer overflow in contrib/intarray
This fixes a poorly written integer comparison function which was
performing subtraction in an attempt to return a negative value when
a < b and a positive value when a > b, and 0 when the values were equal.
Unfortunately that didn't always work correctly due to two's complement
having the INT_MIN 1 further from zero than INT_MAX.  This could result
in an overflow and cause the comparison function to return an incorrect
result, which would result in the binary search failing to find the
value being searched for.

This could cause poor selectivity estimates when the statistics stored
the value of INT_MAX (2147483647) and the value being searched for was
large enough to result in the binary search doing a comparison with that
INT_MAX value.

123b851abd Fix a race condition in updating procArray->replication_slot_xmin.
Previously, ReplicationSlotsComputeRequiredXmin() computed the oldest
xmin across all slots without holding ProcArrayLock (when
already_locked is false), acquiring the lock just before updating the
replication slot xmin.

This could lead to a race condition: if a backend created a new slot
and updates the global replication slot xmin, another backend
concurrently running ReplicationSlotsComputeRequiredXmin() could
overwrite that update with an invalid or stale value. This happens
because the concurrent backend might have computed the aggregate xmin
before the new slot was accounted for, but applied the update after
the new slot had already updated the global value.

In the reported failure, a walsender for an apply worker computed
InvalidTransactionId as the oldest xmin and overwrote a valid
replication slot xmin value computed by a walsender for a tablesync
worker. Consequently, the tablesync worker computed a transaction ID
via GetOldestSafeDecodingTransactionId() effectively without
considering the replication slot xmin. This led to the error "cannot
build an initial slot snapshot as oldest safe xid %u follows
snapshot's xmin %u", which was an assertion failure prior to commit
240e0dbacd.

To fix this, we acquire ReplicationSlotControlLock in exclusive mode
during slot creation to perform the initial update of the slot
xmin. In ReplicationSlotsComputeRequiredXmin(), we hold
ReplicationSlotControlLock in shared mode until the global slot xmin
is updated in ProcArraySetReplicationSlotXmin(). This prevents
concurrent computations and updates of the global xmin by other
backends during the initial slot xmin update process, while still
permitting concurrent calls to ReplicationSlotsComputeRequiredXmin().

Backpatch to all supported versions.

0ed8f1afb1 Don't advance origin during apply failure.
The logical replication parallel apply worker could incorrectly advance
the origin progress during an error or failed apply. This behavior risks
transaction loss because such transactions will not be resent by the
server.

Commit 3f28b2fcac addressed a similar issue for both the apply worker and
the table sync worker by registering a before_shmem_exit callback to reset
origin information. This prevents the worker from advancing the origin
during transaction abortion on shutdown. This patch applies the same fix
to the parallel apply worker, ensuring consistent behavior across all
worker types.

As with 3f28b2fcac, we are backpatching through version 16, since parallel
apply mode was introduced there and the issue only occurs when changes are
applied before the transaction end record (COMMIT or ABORT) is received.

bb87d7fef1 Fix bug in following update chain when locking a heap tuple
After waiting for a concurrent updater to finish, heap_lock_tuple()
followed the update chain to lock all tuple versions. However, when
stepping from the initial tuple to the next one, it failed to check
that the next tuple's XMIN matches the initial tuple's XMAX. That's an
important check whenever following an update chain, and the recursive
part that follows the chain did it, but the initial step missed it.
Without the check, if the updating transaction aborts, the updated
tuple is vacuumed away and replaced by an unrelated tuple, the
unrelated tuple might get incorrectly locked.

e063ccc722 Fix orphaned origin in shared memory after DROP SUBSCRIPTION
Since ce0fdbfe97, a replication slot and an origin are created by each
tablesync worker, whose information is stored in both a catalog and
shared memory (once the origin is set up in the latter case).  The
transaction where the origin is created is the same as the one that runs
the initial COPY, with the catalog state of the origin becoming visible
for other sessions only once the COPY transaction has committed.  The
catalog state is coupled with a state in shared memory, initialized at
the same time as the origin created in the catalogs.  Note that the
transaction doing the initial data sync can take a long time, time that
depends on the amount of data to transfer from a publication node to its
subscriber node.

Now, when a DROP SUBSCRIPTION is executed, all its workers are stopped
with the origins removed.  The removal of each origin relies on a
catalog lookup.  A worker still running the initial COPY would fail its
transaction, with the catalog state of the origin rolled back while the
shared memory state remains around.  The session running the DROP
SUBSCRIPTION should be in charge of cleaning up the catalog and the
shared memory state, but as there is no data in the catalogs the shared
memory state is not removed.  This issue would leave orphaned origin
data in shared memory, leading to a confusing state as it would still
show up in pg_replication_origin_status.  Note that this shared memory
data is sticky, being flushed on disk in replorigin_checkpoint at
checkpoint.  This prevents other origins from reusing a slot position
in the shared memory data.

To address this problem, the commit moves the creation of the origin at
the end of the transaction that precedes the one executing the initial
COPY, making the origin immediately visible in the catalogs for other
sessions, giving DROP SUBSCRIPTION a way to know about it.  A different
solution would have been to clean up the shared memory state using an
abort callback within the tablesync worker.  The solution of this commit
is more consistent with the apply worker that creates an origin in a
short transaction.

A test is added in the subscription test 004_sync.pl, which was able to
display the problem.  The test fails when this commit is reverted.

d4549176ea Fix printf format string warning on MinGW.
This is a back-patch of 1319997d to branches 14-17 to fix an old warning
about a printf type mismatch on MinGW, in anticipation of a potential
expansion of the scope of CI's CompilerWarnings checks.  Though CI began
in 15, BF animal fairwren also shows the warning in 14, so we might as
well fix that too.

Original commit message (except for new "Backpatch-through" tag):

Commit 517bf2d91 changed a printf format string to placate MinGW, which
at the time warned about "%lld".  Current MinGW is now warning about the
replacement "%I64d".  Reverting the change clears the warning on the
MinGW CI task, and hopefully it will clear it on build farm animal
fairywren too.

699293d274 Add guard to prevent recursive memory context logging.
Previously, if memory context logging was triggered repeatedly and
rapidly while a previous request was still being processed, it could
result in recursive calls to ProcessLogMemoryContextInterrupt().
This could lead to infinite recursion and potentially crash the process.

This commit adds a guard to prevent such recursion.
If ProcessLogMemoryContextInterrupt() is already in progress and
logging memory contexts, subsequent calls will exit immediately,
avoiding unintended recursive calls.

While this scenario is unlikely in practice, it's not impossible.
This change adds a safety check to prevent such failures.

Back-patch to v14, where memory context logging was introduced.

those changes removed harmless code that was last necessary in v13.  See

remove such code.

Like the original back-patch, this doesn't change WAL, because these

of extern function PrepareToInvalidateCacheTuple().  No PGXN extension
calls that, and there's no apparent use case in extensions.  Expect

We already do this in CreateParallelContext, InitializeParallelDSM, and
LaunchParallelWorkers. I suspect the reason why the matching logic was
omitted from ReinitializeParallelDSM is that I failed to realize that
any memory allocation was happening here -- but shm_mq_attach does
allocate, which could result in a shm_mq_handle being allocated in a
shorter-lived context than the ParallelContext which points to it.

That could result in a crash if the shorter-lived context is freed
before the parallel context is destroyed. As far as I am currently
aware, there is no way to reach a crash using only code that is
present in core PostgreSQL, but extensions could potentially trip
over this. Fixing this in the back-branches appears low-risk, so
back-patch to all supported versions.

f5927da4ff Fail recovery when missing redo checkpoint record without backup_label
This commit adds an extra check at the beginning of recovery to ensure
that the redo record of a checkpoint exists before attempting WAL
replay, logging a PANIC if the redo record referenced by the checkpoint
record could not be found.  This is the same level of failure as when a
checkpoint record is missing.  This check is added when a cluster is
started without a backup_label, after retrieving its checkpoint record.
The redo LSN used for the check is retrieved from the checkpoint record
successfully read.

In the case where a backup_label exists, the startup process already
fails if the redo record cannot be found after reading a checkpoint
record at the beginning of recovery.

Previously, the presence of the redo record was not checked.  If the
redo and checkpoint records were located on different WAL segments, it
would be possible to miss a entire range of WAL records that should have
been replayed but were just ignored.  The consequences of missing the
redo record depend on the version dealt with, these becoming worse the
older the version used:
- On HEAD, v18 and v17, recovery fails with a pointer dereference at the
beginning of the redo loop, as the redo record is expected but cannot be
found.  These versions are good students, because we detect a failure
before doing anything, even if the failure is misleading in the shape of
a segmentation fault, giving no information that the redo record is
missing.
- In v16 and v15, problems show at the end of recovery within
FinishWalRecovery(), the startup process using a buggy LSN to decide
from where to start writing WAL.  The cluster gets corrupted, still it
is noisy about it.
- v14 and older versions are worse: a cluster gets corrupted but it is
entirely silent about the matter.  The redo record missing causes the
startup process to skip entirely recovery, because a missing record is
the same as not redo being required at all.  This leads to data loss, as
everything is missed between the redo record and the checkpoint record.

Note that I have tested that down to 9.4, reproducing the issue with a
version of the author's reproducer slightly modified.  The code is wrong
since at least 9.2, but I did not look at the exact point of origin.

This problem has been found by debugging a cluster where the WAL segment
including the redo segment was missing due to an operator error, leading
to a crash, based on an investigation in v15.

Requesting archive recovery with the creation of a recovery.signal or
a standby.signal even without a backup_label would mitigate the issue:
if the record cannot be found in pg_wal/, the missing segment can be
retrieved with a restore_command when checking that the redo record
exists.  This was already the case without this commit, where recovery
would re-fetch the WAL segment that includes the redo record.  The check
introduced by this commit makes the segment to be retrieved earlier to
make sure that the redo record can be found.

On HEAD, the code will be slightly changed in a follow-up commit to not
rely on a PANIC, to include a test able to emulate the original problem.
This is a minimal backpatchable fix, kept separated for clarity.

finish, leaving its traces in the dumps used for the upgrades:
- gin, down to v17
- typcache, down to v18
- nbtree, HEAD-only
Test modules have no upgrade requirements, as they are used only for..
Tests, so there is no point in keeping them around.

An alternative solution would be to drop the databases created by these
modules in AdjustUpgrade.pm, but the solution of this commit to drop the
extension is simpler.  Note that there would be a catch if using a
solution based on AdjustUpgrade.pm as the database name used for the
test runs differs between configure and meson:
- configure relies on USE_MODULE_DB for the database name unicity, that
would build a database name based on the *first* entry of REGRESS, that
lists all the SQL tests.
- meson relies on a "name" field.

For example, for the test module "gin", the regression database is named
"regression_gin" under meson, while it is more complex for configure, as
of "contrib_regression_gin_incomplete_splits".  So a AdjustUpgrade.pm
would need a set of DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS to solve this issue, to cope
with each build system.

The failure has been caused by d52c24b0f8, and the problem can happen
with upgrade dumps from v17 and v18 to HEAD.  This problem is not
currently reachable in the back-branches, but it could be possible that
a future change in injection_points in stable branches invalidates this
theory, so this commit is applied down to v17 in the test modules that
matter.

Per discussion with Tom Lane and Heikki Linnakangas.
