Tom Lane 91d82317d2 Fix bogus provolatile/proparallel markings on a few built-in functions.
Richard Yen reported that pg_upgrade failed if the target cluster had
force_parallel_mode = on, because binary_upgrade_create_empty_extension()
is marked parallel restricted, allowing it to be executed in parallel
mode, which complains because it tries to acquire an XID.

In general, no function that might try to modify database data should
be considered parallel safe or restricted, since execution of it might
force XID acquisition.  We found several other examples of this mistake.

Furthermore, functions that execute user-supplied SQL queries or query
fragments, or pull data from user-supplied cursors, had better be marked
both volatile and parallel unsafe, because we don't know what the supplied
query or cursor might try to do.  There were several tsquery and XML
functions that had the wrong proparallel marking for this, and some of
them were even mislabeled as to volatility.

All these bugs are old, dating back to 9.6 for the proparallel mistakes
and much further for the provolatile mistakes.  We can't force a
catversion bump in the back branches, but we can at least ensure that
installations initdb'd in future have the right values.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
