2025-12-21Remove obsolete name_ops index-only scan comments.Peter Geoghegan
nbtree index-only scans of an index that uses btree/name_ops as one of its index column's input opclasses are no longer at any risk of reading past the end of currTuples. We're no longer reliant on such scans being able to at least read from the start of markTuples storage (which uses space from the same allocation as currTuples) to avoid a segfault: StoreIndexTuple (from nodeIndexonlyscan.c) won't actually read past the end of a cstring datum from a name_ops index. In other words, we already have the "special-case treatment for name_ops" that the removed comment supposed we could avoid by relying on markTuples in this way. Oversight in commit a63224be49, which added special case handling of name_ops cstrings to StoreIndexTuple, but missed these comments.
2025-12-21Clean up test_cloexec.c and Makefile.Thomas Munro
An unused variable caused a compiler warning on BF animal fairywren, an snprintf() call was redundant, and some buffer sizes were inconsistent. Per code review from Tom Lane. The Makefile's test ifeq ($(PORTNAME), win32) never succeeded due to a circularity, so only Meson builds were actually compiling the new test code, partially explaining why CI didn't tell us about the warning sooner (the other problem being that CompilerWarnings only makes world-bin, a problem for another commit).

2025-12-19heapam: Move logic to handle HEAP_MOVED into a helper functionAndres Freund
Before we dealt with this in 6 near identical and one very similar copy. The helper function errors out when encountering a HEAP_MOVED_IN/HEAP_MOVED_OUT tuple with xvac considered current or in-progress. It'd be preferrable to do that change separately, but otherwise it'd not be possible to deduplicate the handling in HeapTupleSatisfiesVacuum().

2025-12-19bufmgr: Optimize & harmonize LockBufHdr(), LWLockWaitListLock()Andres Freund
The main optimization is for LockBufHdr() to delay initializing SpinDelayStatus, similar to what LWLockWaitListLock already did. The initialization is sufficiently expensive & buffer header lock acquisitions are sufficiently frequent, to make it worthwhile to instead have a fastpath (via a likely() branch) that does not initialize the SpinDelayStatus. While LWLockWaitListLock() already the aforementioned optimization, it did not use likely(), and inspection of the assembly shows that this indeed leads to worse code generation (also observed in a microbenchmark). Fix that by adding the likely(). While the LockBufHdr() improvement is a small gain on its own, it mainly is aimed at preventing a regression after a future commit, which requires additional locking to set hint bits. While touching both, also make the comments more similar to each other.

2025-12-19Add guard to prevent recursive memory context logging.Fujii Masao
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.

2025-12-18Sort DO_SUBSCRIPTION_REL dump objects independent of OIDs.Noah Misch
Commit 0decd5e89db9f5edb9b27351082f0d74aae7a9b6 missed DO_SUBSCRIPTION_REL, leading to assertion failures. In the unlikely use case of diffing "pg_dump --binary-upgrade" output, spurious diffs were possible. As part of fixing that, align the DumpableObject naming and sort order with DO_PUBLICATION_REL. The overall effect of this commit is to change sort order from (subname, srsubid) to (rel, subname). Since DO_SUBSCRIPTION_REL is only for --binary-upgrade, accept that larger-than-usual dump order change.

While on it, this commit updates the callback to_serialized_data() in the test module test_custom_stats to make the data extracted from the "header" parameter a const since it should never be modified: the stats are written to disk and no modifications are expected in the shared memory entry.

2025-12-17libpq-fe.h: Don't claim SOCKTYPE in the global namespaceJacob Champion
The definition of PGoauthBearerRequest uses a temporary SOCKTYPE macro to hide the difference between Windows and Berkeley socket handles, since we don't surface pgsocket in our public API. This macro doesn't need to escape the header, because implementers will choose the correct socket type based on their platform, so I #undef'd it immediately after use. I didn't namespace that helper, though, so if anyone else needs a SOCKTYPE macro, libpq-fe.h will now unhelpfully get rid of it.

2025-12-17Make postmaster 003_start_stop.pl test less flakyHeikki Linnakangas
The test is very sensitive to how backends start and exit, because it tests dead-end backends which occur when all the connection slots are in use. The test failed occasionally in the CI, when the backend that was launched for the raw_connect_works() check lingered for a while, and exited only later during the test. When it exited, it released a connection slot, when the test expected all the slots to be in use at that time. The 002_connection_limits.pl test had a similar issue: if the backend launched for safe_psql() in the test initialization lingers around, it uses up a connection slot during the test, messing up the test's connection counting. I haven't seen that in the CI, but when I added a "sleep(1);" to proc_exit(), the test failed. To make the tests more robust, restart the server to ensure that the lingering backends doesn't interfere with the later test steps. In the passing, fix a bogus test name.

2025-12-17Support existing publications in pg_createsubscriber.Amit Kapila
Allow pg_createsubscriber to reuse existing publications instead of failing when they already exist on the publisher. Previously, pg_createsubscriber would fail if any specified publication already existed. Now, existing publications are reused as-is with their current configuration, and non-existing publications are created automatically with FOR ALL TABLES. This change provides flexibility when working with mixed scenarios of existing and new publications. Users should verify that existing publications have the desired configuration before reusing them, and can use --dry-run with verbose mode to see which publications will be reused and which will be created. Only publications created by pg_createsubscriber are cleaned up during error cleanup operations. Pre-existing publications are preserved unless '--clean=publications' is explicitly specified, which drops all publications. This feature would be helpful for pub-sub configurations where users want to subscribe to a subset of tables from the publisher.

2025-12-16downcase_identifier(): use method table from locale provider.Jeff Davis
Previously, libc's tolower() was always used for lowercasing identifiers, regardless of the database locale (though only characters beyond 127 in single-byte encodings were affected). Refactor to allow each provider to supply its own implementation of identifier downcasing. For historical compatibility, when using a single-byte encoding, ICU still relies on tolower(). One minor behavior change is that, before the database default locale is initialized, it uses ASCII semantics to downcase the identifiers. Previously, it would use the postmaster's LC_CTYPE setting from the environment. While that could have some effect during GUC processing, for example, it would have been fragile to rely on the environment setting anyway. (Also, it only matters when the encoding is single-byte.)

2025-12-16Switch memory contexts in ReinitializeParallelDSM.Robert Haas
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.

2025-12-16Test PRI* macros even when we can't test NLS translation.Tom Lane
Further research shows that the reason commit 7db6809ce failed is that recent glibc versions short-circuit translation attempts when LC_MESSAGES is 'C.<encoding>', not only when it's 'C'. There seems no way around that, so we'll have to live with only testing NLS when a suitable real locale is installed. However, something can still be salvaged: it still seems like a good idea to verify that the PRI* macros work as-expected even when we can't check their translations (see f8715ec86 for motivation). Hence, adjust the test to always run the ereport calls, and tweak the parameter values in hopes of detecting any cases where there's confusion about the actual widths of the parameters.

2025-12-16Add TAP test to check recovery when redo LSN is missingMichael Paquier
This commit provides test coverage for dc7c77f825d7, where the redo record and the checkpoint record finish on different WAL segments with the start of recovery able to detect that the redo record is missing. This test uses a wait injection point done in the critical section of a checkpoint, method that requires not one but actually two wait injection points to avoid any memory allocations within the critical section of the checkpoint: - Checkpoint run with a background psql. - One first wait point is run by the checkpointer before the critical section, allocating the shared memory required by the DSM registry for the wait machinery in the library injection_points. - First point is woken up. - Second wait point is loaded before the critical section, allocating the memory to build the path to the library loaded, then run in the critical section once the checkpoint redo record has been logged. - WAL segment is switched while waiting on the second point. - Checkpoint completes. - Stop cluster with immediate mode. - The segment that includes the redo record is removed. - Start, recovery fails as the redo record cannot be found. The error message introduced in dc7c77f825d7 is now reduced to a FATAL, meaning that the information is still provided while being able to use a test for it. Nitin has provided a basic version of the test, that I have enhanced to make it portable with two points. Without dc7c77f825d7, the cluster crashes in this test, not on a PANIC but due to the pointer dereference at the beginning of recovery, failure mentioned in the other commit.

2025-12-16Fail recovery when missing redo checkpoint record without backup_labelMichael Paquier
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.

2025-12-15libpq: Align oauth_json_set_error() with other NLS patternsJacob Champion
Now that the prior commits have fixed missing OAuth translations, pull the bespoke usage of libpq_gettext() for OAUTHBEARER parsing into oauth_json_set_error() itself, and make that a gettext trigger as well, to better match what the other sites are doing. Add an _internal() variant to handle the existing untranslated case.

2025-12-15libpq-oauth: Don't translate internal errorsJacob Champion
Some error messages are generated when OAuth multiplexer operations fail unexpectedly in the client. Álvaro pointed out that these are both difficult to translate idiomatically (as they use internal terminology heavily) and of dubious translation value to end users (since they're going to need to get developer help anyway). The response parsing engine has a similar issue. Remove these from the translation files by introducing internal variants of actx_error() and oauth_parse_set_error().

2025-12-15libpq: Add missing OAuth translationsJacob Champion
Several strings that should have been translated as they passed through libpq_gettext were not actually being pulled into the translation files, because I hadn't directly wrapped them in one of the GETTEXT_TRIGGERS. Move the responsibility for calling libpq_gettext() to the code that sets actx->errctx. Doing the same in report_type_mismatch() would result in double-translation, so mark those strings with gettext_noop() instead. And wrap two ternary operands with gettext_noop(), even though they're already in one of the triggers, since xgettext sees only the first. Finally, fe-auth-oauth.c was missing from nls.mk, so none of that file was being translated at all. Add it now.

2025-12-15Avoid requiring Spanish locale to test NLS infrastructure.Tom Lane
I had supposed that the majority of machines with gettext installed would have most language locales installed, but at least in the buildfarm it turns out less than half have es_ES installed. So depending on that to run the test now seems like a bad idea. But it turns out that gettext can be persuaded to "translate" even in the C locale, as long as you fake out its short-circuit logic by spelling the locale name like "C.UTF-8" or similar. (Many thanks to Bryan Green for correcting my misconceptions about that.) Quick testing suggests that that spelling is accepted by most platforms, though again the buildfarm may show that "most" isn't "all". Hence, remove the es_ES dependency and instead create a "C" message catalog. I've made the test unconditionally set lc_messages to 'C.UTF-8'. That approach might need adjustment depending on what the buildfarm shows, but let's keep it simple until proven wrong. While at it, tweak the test so that we run the various ereport's even when !ENABLE_NLS. This is useful to verify that the macros provided by <inttypes.h> are compatible with snprintf.c, as we now know is worth questioning. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/1991599.1765818338@sss.pgh.pa.us

2025-12-15Add offnum range checks to suppress compile warnings with UBSAN.Tom Lane
Late-model gcc with -fsanitize=undefined enabled issues warnings about uses of PageGetItemId() when it can't prove that the offsetNumber is > 0. The call sites where this happens are checking that the offnum is <= PageGetMaxOffsetNumber(page), so it seems reasonable to add an explicit check that offnum >= 1 too. While at it, rearrange the code to be less contorted and avoid duplicate checks on PageGetMaxOffsetNumber. Maybe the compiler would optimize away the duplicate logic or maybe not, but the existing coding has little to recommend it anyway. There are multiple instances of this identical coding pattern in heapam.c and heapam_xlog.c. Current gcc only complains about two of them, but I fixed them all in the name of consistency. Potentially this could be back-patched in the name of silencing warnings; but I think enabling UBSAN is mainly something people would do on HEAD, so for now it seems not worth the trouble.

2025-12-15Increase timeout in multixid_conversion upgrade testHeikki Linnakangas
The workload to generate multixids before upgrade is very slow on buildfarm members running with JIT enabled. The workload runs a lot of small queries, so it's unsurprising that JIT makes it slower. On my laptop it nevertheless runs in under 10 s even with JIT enabled, while some buildfarm members have been hitting the 180 s timeout. That seems extreme, but I suppose it's still expected on very slow and busy buildfarm animals. The timeout applies to the BackgroundPsql sessions as whole rather than the individual queries. Bump up the timeout to avoid the test failures. Add periodic progress reports to the test output so that we get a better picture of just how slow the test is. In the passing, also fix comments about how many multixids and members the workload generates. The comments were written based on 10 parallel connections, but it actually uses 20.
