I noticed that _SPI_execute_plan initially sets spierrcontext.arg = NULL, and only fills it in some time later. If an error were to happen in between, _SPI_error_callback would try to dereference the null pointer. This is unlikely --- there's not much between those points except push-snapshot calls --- but it's clearly not impossible. Tweak the callback to do nothing if the pointer isn't set yet. It's been like this for awhile, so back-patch to all supported branches.

Notably, this permits linking to the 32-bit Perl binaries advertised on perl.org, namely Strawberry Perl and ActivePerl. This has a side effect of permitting linking to binaries built with obsolete MSVC versions. By default, MSVC 2012 and later require a "safe exception handler table" in each binary. MinGW-built, 32-bit DLLs lack the relevant exception handler metadata, so linking to them failed with error LNK2026. Restore the semantics of MSVC 2010, which omits the table from a given binary if some linker input lacks metadata. This has no effect on 64-bit builds or on MSVC 2010 and earlier.

Commits 5a5c2fec and b5178c5d introduced support for modern MSVC-built, 32-bit Perl, but they broke use of MinGW-built, 32-bit Perl distributions like Strawberry Perl and modern ActivePerl. Perl has no robust means to report whether it expects a -D_USE_32BIT_TIME_T ABI, so test this. Back-patch to 9.3 (all supported versions). The chief alternative was a heuristic of adding -D_USE_32BIT_TIME_T when $Config{gccversion} is nonempty. That banks on every gcc-built Perl using the same ABI. gcc could change its default ABI the way MSVC once did, and one could build Perl with gcc and the non-default ABI. The GNU make build system could benefit from a similar test, without which it does not support MSVC-built Perl. For now, just add a comment. Most users taking the special step of building Perl with MSVC probably build PostgreSQL with MSVC. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20171130041441.GA3161526@rfd.leadboat.com

Add support to the SCRAM exchange for clients that support channel binding, such as PostgreSQL version 11 and beyond. If such a client encounters a PostgreSQL 10 server that does not support channel binding, it will send a channel binding flag 'y', meaning the client supports channel binding but thinks the server does not. But PostgreSQL 10 erroneously did not accept that flag. This would cause connections to fail if a version 11 client connects to a version 10 server with SCRAM authentication over SSL.

When a worker is flagged as BGW_NEVER_RESTART and we fail to start it, or if it is not marked BGW_NEVER_RESTART but is terminated before startup succeeds, what BgwHandleStatus should be reported? The previous code really hadn't considered this possibility (as indicated by the comments which ignore it completely) and would typically return BGWH_NOT_YET_STARTED, but that's not a good answer, because then there's no way for code using GetBackgroundWorkerPid() to tell the difference between a worker that has not started but will start later and a worker that has not started and will never be started. So, when this case happens, return BGWH_STOPPED instead. Update the comments to reflect this. The preceding fix by itself is insufficient to fix the problem, because the old code also didn't send a notification to the process identified in bgw_notify_pid when startup failed. That might've been technically correct under the theory that the status of the worker was BGWH_NOT_YET_STARTED, because the status would indeed not change when the worker failed to start, but now that we're more usefully reporting BGWH_STOPPED, a notification is needed. Without these fixes, code which starts background workers and then uses the recommended APIs to wait for those background workers to start would hang indefinitely if the postmaster failed to fork a worker.

This patch fixes a couple of low-probability bugs that could lead to reporting an irrelevant errno value (and hence possibly a wrong SQLSTATE) concerning directory-open or file-open failures. It also fixes places where we took shortcuts in reporting such errors, either by using elog instead of ereport or by using ereport but forgetting to specify an errcode. And it eliminates a lot of just plain redundant error-handling code. In service of all this, export fd.c's formerly-static function ReadDirExtended, so that external callers can make use of the coding pattern dir = AllocateDir(path); while ((de = ReadDirExtended(dir, path, LOG)) != NULL) if they'd like to treat directory-open failures as mere LOG conditions rather than errors. Also fix FreeDir to be a no-op if we reach it with dir == NULL, as such a coding pattern would cause. Then, remove code at many call sites that was throwing an error or log message for AllocateDir failure, as ReadDir or ReadDirExtended can handle that job just fine. Aside from being a net code savings, this gets rid of a lot of not-quite-up-to-snuff reports, as mentioned above. (In some places these changes result in replacing a custom error message such as "could not open tablespace directory" with more generic wording "could not open directory", but it was agreed that the custom wording buys little as long as we report the directory name.) In some other call sites where we can't just remove code, change the error reports to be fully project-style-compliant. Also reorder code in restoreTwoPhaseData that was acquiring a lock between AllocateDir and ReadDir; in the unlikely but surely not impossible case that LWLockAcquire changes errno, AllocateDir failures would be misreported. There is no great value in opening the directory before acquiring TwoPhaseStateLock, so just do it in the other order. Also fix CheckXLogRemoved to guarantee that it preserves errno, as quite a number of call sites are implicitly assuming. (Again, it's unlikely but I think not impossible that errno could change during a SpinLockAcquire. If so, this function was broken for its own purposes as well as breaking callers.) And change a few places that were using not-per-project-style messages, such as "could not read directory" when "could not open directory" is more correct. Back-patch the exporting of ReadDirExtended, in case we have occasion to back-patch some fix that makes use of it; it's not needed right now but surely making it global is pretty harmless. Also back-patch the restoreTwoPhaseData and CheckXLogRemoved fixes. The rest of this is essentially cosmetic and need not get back-patched.

There's no good reason that the multicolumn stats stuff shouldn't work on booleans. But it looked only for "Var = pseudoconstant" clauses, and it will seldom find those for boolean Vars, since earlier phases of planning will fold "boolvar = true" or "boolvar = false" to just "boolvar" or "NOT boolvar" respectively. Improve dependencies_clauselist_selectivity() to recognize such clauses as equivalent to equality restrictions. This fixes a failure of the extended stats mechanism to apply in a case reported by Vitaliy Garnashevich. It's not a complete solution to his problem because the bitmap-scan costing code isn't consulting extended stats where it should, but that's surely an independent issue. In passing, improve some comments, get rid of a NumRelids() test that's redundant with the preceding bms_membership() test, and fix dependencies_clauselist_selectivity() so that estimatedclauses actually is a pure output argument as stated by its API contract.

Commit d4663350 changed things so that shm_toc_lookup would fail with an error rather than silently returning NULL in the hope that such failures would be reported in a useful way rather than via a system crash. However, it overlooked the fact that the lookup of PARALLEL_KEY_ERROR_QUEUE in ReinitializeParallelDSM is expected to fail when no DSM segment was created in the first place; in that case, we end up with a backend-private memory segment that still contains an entry for PARALLEL_KEY_FIXED but no others. Consequently a benign failure to initialize parallelism can escalate into an elog(ERROR); repair. Discussion: http://postgr.es/m/CA+Tgmob8LFw55DzH1QEREpBEA9RJ_W_amhBFCVZ6WMwUhVpOqg@mail.gmail.com

heap_drop_with_catalog and ATExecDetachPartition neglected to check for SearchSysCache failures, as noted in bugs #14927 and #14928 from Pan Bian. Such failures are pretty unlikely, since we should already have some sort of lock on the rel at these points, but it's neither a good idea nor per project style to omit a check for failure. Also, StorePartitionKey contained a syscache lookup that it never did anything with, including never releasing the result. Presumably the reason why we don't see refcount-leak complaints is that the lookup always fails; but in any case it's pretty useless, so remove it. All of these errors were evidently introduced by the relation partitioning feature. Back-patch to v10 where that came in.

rewriteTargetListUD's processing is dependent on the relkind of the query's target table. That was fine at the time it was made to act that way, even for queries on inheritance trees, because all tables in an inheritance tree would necessarily be plain tables. However, the 9.5 feature addition allowing some members of an inheritance tree to be foreign tables broke the assumption that rewriteTargetListUD's output tlist could be applied to all child tables with nothing more than column-number mapping. This led to visible failures if foreign child tables had row-level triggers, and would also break in cases where child tables belonged to FDWs that used methods other than CTID for row identification. To fix, delay running rewriteTargetListUD until after the planner has expanded inheritance, so that it is applied separately to the (already mapped) tlist for each child table. We can conveniently call it from preprocess_targetlist. Refactor associated code slightly to avoid the need to heap_open the target relation multiple times during preprocess_targetlist. (The APIs remain a bit ugly, particularly around the point of which steps scribble on parse->targetList and which don't. But avoiding such scribbling would require a change in FDW callback APIs, which is more pain than it's worth.) Also fix ExecModifyTable to ensure that "tupleid" is reset to NULL when we transition from rows providing a CTID to rows that don't. (That's really an independent bug, but it manifests in much the same cases.) Add a regression test checking one manifestation of this problem, which was that row-level triggers on a foreign child table did not work right. Back-patch to 9.5 where the problem was introduced.

Originally, we palloc'd this buffer just barely big enough to hold the largest xlog record seen so far. It turns out that that can result in valgrind complaints, because some compilers will emit code that assumes it can safely fetch padding bytes at the end of a struct, and those padding bytes were unallocated so far as aset.c was concerned. We can fix that by MAXALIGN'ing the palloc request size, ensuring that it is big enough to include any possible padding that might've been omitted from the on-disk record. An additional objection to the original coding is that it could result in many repeated palloc cycles, in the worst case where we see a series of gradually larger xlog records. We can ameliorate that cheaply by imposing a minimum buffer size that's large enough for most xlog records. BLCKSZ/2 was chosen after a bit of discussion. In passing, remove an obsolete comment in struct xl_heap_new_cid that the combocid field is free due to alignment considerations. Perhaps that was true at some point, but it's not now.

Traditionally IANA has distributed their timezone data in pure source form, replete with extensive historical comments. As of release 2017c, they've added a compact single-file format that omits comments and abbreviates command keywords. This form is way shorter than the pure source, even before considering its allegedly better compressibility. Hence, let's distribute the data in that form rather than pure source.

When nodeValuesscan.c was written, it was impossible to have a SubPlan in VALUES --- any sub-SELECT there would have to be uncorrelated and thereby would produce an InitPlan instead. We therefore took a shortcut in the logic that throws away a ValuesScan's per-row expression evaluation data structures. This was broken by the introduction of LATERAL however; a sub-SELECT containing a lateral reference produces a correlated SubPlan. The cleanest fix for this would be to give up the optimization of discarding the expression eval state. But that still seems pretty unappetizing for long VALUES lists. It seems to work to just prevent the subexpressions from hooking into the ValuesScan node's subPlan list, so let's do that and see how well it works. (If this breaks, due to additional connections between the subexpressions and the outer query structures, we might consider compromises like throwing away data only for VALUES rows not containing SubPlans.) Per bug #14924 from Christian Duta. Back-patch to 9.3 where LATERAL was introduced. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20171124120836.1463.5310@wrigleys.postgresql.org

Improve query_is_distinct_for() to accept SRFs in the targetlist when we can prove distinctness from a DISTINCT clause. In that case the de-duplication will surely happen after SRF expansion, so the proof still works. Continue to punt in the case where we'd try to prove distinctness from GROUP BY (or, in the future, source relations). To do that, we'd have to determine whether the SRFs were in the grouping columns or elsewhere in the tlist, and it still doesn't seem worth the trouble. But this trivial change allows us to recognize that "SELECT DISTINCT unnest(foo) FROM ..." produces unique-ified output, which seems worth having. Also, fix estimate_num_groups() to consider the possibility of SRFs in the grouping columns. Its failure to do so was masked before v10 because grouping_planner() scaled up plan rowcount estimates by the estimated SRF multiplier after performing grouping. That doesn't happen anymore, which is more correct, but it means we need an adjustment in the estimate for the number of groups. Failure to do this leads to an underestimate for the number of output rows of subqueries like "SELECT DISTINCT unnest(foo)" compared to what 9.6 and earlier estimated, thus breaking plan choices in some cases. Per report from Dmitry Shalashov. Back-patch to v10 to avoid degraded plan choices compared to previous releases.

When strict aggregate combine functions, used in multi-stage/parallel aggregation, returned NULL, we didn't check for that, invoking the combine function with NULL the next round, despite it being strict. The equivalent code invoking normal transition functions has a check for that situation, which did not get copied in a7de3dc5. Fix the bug by adding the equivalent check. Based on a quick look I could not find any strict combine functions in core actually returning NULL, and it doesn't seem very likely external users have done so.
