Temporary relations may share the same RelFileNumber with a permanent
relation, or other temporary relations associated with other sessions.
Being able to uniquely identify a temporary relation would require
RelidByRelfilenumber() to know about the proc number of the temporary
relation it wants to identify, something it is not designed for since
its introduction in f01d1ae3a104.
There are currently three callers of RelidByRelfilenumber():
- autoprewarm.
- Logical decoding, reorder buffer.
- pg_filenode_relation(), that attempts to find a relation OID based on
a tablespace OID and a RelFileNumber.
This makes the situation problematic particularly for the first two
cases, leading to the possibility of random ERRORs due to
inconsistencies that temporary relations can create in the cache
maintained by RelidByRelfilenumber(). The third case should be less of
an issue, as I suspect that there are few direct callers of
pg_filenode_relation().
The window where the ERRORs are happen is very narrow, requiring an OID
wraparound to create a lookup conflict in RelidByRelfilenumber() with a
temporary table reusing the same OID as another relation already cached.
The problem is easier to reach in workloads with a high OID consumption
rate, especially with a higher number of temporary relations created.
We could get pg_filenode_relation() and RelidByRelfilenumber() to work
with temporary relations if provided the means to identify them with an
optional proc number given in input, but the years have also shown that
we do not have a use case for it, yet. Note that this could not be
backpatched if pg_filenode_relation() needs changes. It is simpler to
ignore temporary relations.

Commit e2d4ef8de86 (the fix for CVE-2017-7484) added security checks
to the selectivity estimation functions to prevent them from running
user-supplied operators on data obtained from pg_statistic if the user
lacks privileges to select from the underlying table. In cases
involving inheritance/partitioning, those checks were originally
performed against the child RTE (which for plain inheritance might
actually refer to the parent table). Commit 553d2ec2710 then extended
that to also check the parent RTE, allowing access if the user had
permissions on either the parent or the child. It turns out, however,
that doing any checks using the child RTE is incorrect, since
securityQuals is set to NULL when creating an RTE for an inheritance
child (whether it refers to the parent table or the child table), and
therefore such checks do not correctly account for any RLS policies or
security barrier views. Therefore, do the security checks using only
the parent RTE. This is consistent with how RLS policies are applied,
and the executor's ACL checks, both of which use only the parent
table's permissions/policies. Similar checks are performed in the
extended stats code, so update that in the same way, centralizing all
the checks in a new function.
In addition, note that these checks by themselves are insufficient to
ensure that the user has access to the table's data because, in a
query that goes via a view, they only check that the view owner has
permissions on the underlying table, not that the current user has
permissions on the view itself. In the selectivity estimation
functions, there is no easy way to navigate from underlying tables to
views, so add permissions checks for all views mentioned in the query
to the planner startup code. If the user lacks permissions on a view,
a permissions error will now be reported at planner-startup, and the
selectivity estimation functions will not be run.
Checking view permissions at planner-startup in this way is a little
ugly, since the same checks will be repeated at executor-startup.
Longer-term, it might be better to move all the permissions checks
from the executor to the planner so that permissions errors can be
reported sooner, instead of creating a plan that won't ever be run.
However, such a change seems too far-reaching to be back-patched.
Back-patch to all supported versions. In v13, there is the added
complication that UPDATEs and DELETEs on inherited target tables are
planned using inheritance_planner(), which plans each inheritance
child table separately, so that the selectivity estimation functions
do not know that they are dealing with a child table accessed via its
parent. Handle that by checking access permissions on the top parent
table at planner-startup, in the same way as we do for views. Any
securityQuals on the top parent table are moved down to the child
tables by inheritance_planner(), so they continue to be checked by the
selectivity estimation functions.

Currently, ALTER DATABASE/ROLE/SYSTEM RESET [ALL] with an unknown
custom GUC with a prefix reserved by MarkGUCPrefixReserved() errors
(unless a superuser runs a RESET ALL variant). This is problematic
for cases such as an extension library upgrade that removes a GUC.
To fix, simply make sure the relevant code paths explicitly allow
it. Note that we require superuser or privileges on the parameter
to reset it. This is perhaps a bit more restrictive than is
necessary, but it's not clear whether further relaxing the
requirements is safe.
Oversight in commit 88103567cb. The ALTER SYSTEM fix is dependent
on commit 2d870b4aef, which first appeared in v17. Unfortunately,
back-patching that commit would introduce ABI breakage, and while
that breakage seems unlikely to bother anyone, it doesn't seem
worth the risk. Hence, the ALTER SYSTEM part of this commit is
omitted on v15 and v16.

When I prepared 71c0921b6 et al yesterday, I was thinking that the
logic involving explicitly freeing the node_list output was still
needed to dodge leakage bugs in libxml2. But I was misremembering:
we introduced that only because with early 2.13.x releases we could
not trust xmlParseBalancedChunkMemory's result code, so we had to
look to see if a node list was returned or not. There's no reason
to believe that xmlParseBalancedChunkMemory will fail to clean up
the node list when required, so simplify. (This essentially
completes reverting all the non-cosmetic changes in 6082b3d5d.)

This mostly reverts commit 6082b3d5d, "Use xmlParseInNodeContext
not xmlParseBalancedChunkMemory". It turns out that
xmlParseInNodeContext will reject text chunks exceeding 10MB, while
(in most libxml2 versions) xmlParseBalancedChunkMemory will not.
The bleeding-edge libxml2 bug that we needed to work around a year
ago is presumably no longer a factor, and the argument that
xmlParseBalancedChunkMemory is semi-deprecated is not enough to
justify a functionality regression. Hence, go back to doing it
the old way.

Because not every path through JsonbIteratorNext() sets val->type,
some compilers complain that compareJsonbContainers() is comparing
possibly-uninitialized values. The paths that don't set it return
WJB_DONE, WJB_END_ARRAY, or WJB_END_OBJECT, so it's clear by
manual inspection that the "(ra == rb)" code path is safe, and
indeed we aren't seeing warnings about that. But the (ra != rb)
case is much less obviously safe. In Assert-enabled builds it
seems that the asserts rejecting WJB_END_ARRAY and WJB_END_OBJECT
persuade gcc 15.x not to warn, which makes little sense because
it's impossible to believe that the compiler can prove of its
own accord that ra/rb aren't WJB_DONE here. (In fact they never
will be, so the code isn't wrong, but why is there no warning?)
Without Asserts, the appearance of warnings is quite unsurprising.
We discussed fixing this by converting those two Asserts into
pg_assume, but that seems not very satisfactory when it's so unclear
why the compiler is or isn't warning: the warning could easily
reappear with some other compiler version. Let's fix it in a less
magical, more future-proof way by changing JsonbIteratorNext()
so that it always does set val->type. The cost of that should be
pretty negligible, and it makes the function's API spec less squishy.

getid() and putid(), which parse and deparse role names within ACL
input/output, applied isalnum() to see if a character within a role
name requires quoting. They did this even for non-ASCII characters,
which is problematic because the results would depend on encoding,
locale, and perhaps even platform. So it's possible that putid()
could elect not to quote some string that, later in some other
environment, getid() will decide is not a valid identifier, causing
dump/reload or similar failures.
To fix this in a way that won't risk interoperability problems
with unpatched versions, make getid() treat any non-ASCII as a
legitimate identifier character (hence not requiring quotes),
while making putid() treat any non-ASCII as requiring quoting.
We could remove the resulting excess quoting once we feel that
no unpatched servers remain in the wild, but that'll be years.
A lesser problem is that getid() did the wrong thing with an input
consisting of just two double quotes (""). That has to represent an
empty string, but getid() read it as a single double quote instead.
The case cannot arise in the normal course of events, since we don't
allow empty-string role names. But let's fix it while we're here.
Although we've not heard field reports of problems with non-ASCII
role names, there's clearly a hazard there, so back-patch to all
supported versions.

The code that translates SIMILAR TO pattern matching expressions to
POSIX-style regular expressions did not consider that square brackets
can be nested. For example, in an expression like [[:alpha:]%_], the
logic replaced the placeholders '_' and '%' but it should not.
This commit fixes the conversion logic by tracking the nesting level of
square brackets marking character class areas, while considering that
in expressions like []] or [^]] the first closing square bracket is a
regular character. Multiple tests are added to show how the conversions
should or should not apply applied while in a character class area, with
specific cases added for all the characters converted outside character
classes like an opening parenthesis '(', dollar sign '$', etc.

In the grammar, <expr> is a c_expr, which accepts only a limited set
of integer literals and simple expressions without parens. The
deparsing logic didn't quite match the grammar rule, and failed to use
parens e.g. for "5::bigint".
To fix, always surround the expression with parens. Would be nice to
omit the parens in simple cases, but unfortunately it's non-trivial to
detect such simple cases. Even if the expression is a simple literal
123 in the original query, after parse analysis it becomes a FuncExpr
with COERCE_IMPLICIT_CAST rather than a simple Const.

With GB18030 as source encoding, applications could crash the server via
SQL functions convert() or convert_from(). Applications themselves
could crash after passing unterminated GB18030 input to libpq functions
PQescapeLiteral(), PQescapeIdentifier(), PQescapeStringConn(), or
PQescapeString(). Extension code could crash by passing unterminated
GB18030 input to jsonapi.h functions. All those functions have been
intended to handle untrusted, unterminated input safely.
A crash required allocating the input such that the last byte of the
allocation was the last byte of a virtual memory page. Some malloc()
implementations take measures against that, making the SIGSEGV hard to
reach. Back-patch to v13 (all supported versions).

This assertion, based on pending_since (timestamp used to prevent stats
reports to be too frequent or should a partial flush happen), is reached
when it is found that no data can be flushed but a previous call of
pgstat_report_stat() determined that some stats data has been found as
in need of a flush. So pending_since is set when some stats data is
pending (in non-force mode) or if report attempts are too frequent, and
reset to 0 once all stats have been flushed.
Since 5cbbe70a9cc6, WAL senders have begun to report their stats on a
periodic basis for IO stats in v16~ and backend stats on HEAD, creating
some friction with the concurrent pgstat_report_stat() calls that can
happen in the context of a WAL sender (shutdown callback doing a final
report or backend-related code paths). This problem is the cause of
spurious failures in the TAP tests.
In theory, this assertion can be also reached in v15, even if that's
very unlikely. For example, a process, say a background worker, could
do periodic and direct stats flushes with concurrent calls of
pgstat_report_stat() that could cause conflicting values of
pending_since. This can be done with WAL or SLRU stats flushes using
pgstat_flush_wal() or pgstat_slru_flush(). HEAD makes this situation
easier to happen with custom cumulative stats.
This commit removes the assertion altogether, per discussion, as it is
more useful to keep the state of things as they are for the WAL sender.
The assertion could use a special state based on for example
am_walsender, but I doubt that this would be meaningful in the long run
based on the other arguments raised while discussing this issue.

compareentry() is declared to work on WordEntryIN structs, but
tsvectorrecv() is using it in two places to work on WordEntry
structs. This is almost okay, since WordEntry is the first
field of WordEntryIN. But on machines with 8-byte pointers,
WordEntryIN will have a larger alignment spec than WordEntry,
and it's at least theoretically possible that the compiler
could generate code that depends on the larger alignment.
Given the lack of field reports, this may be just a hypothetical bug
that upsets nothing except sanitizer tools. Or it may be real on
certain hardware but nobody's tried to use tsvectorrecv() on such
hardware. In any case we should fix it, and the fix is trivial:
just change compareentry() so that it works on WordEntry without any
mention of WordEntryIN. We can also get rid of the quite-useless
intermediate function WordEntryCMP.

If the given input_type yields valid results from both
get_element_type and get_array_type, initArrayResultAny believed the
former and treated the input as an array type. However this is
inconsistent with what get_promoted_array_type does, leading to
situations where the output of an ARRAY() subquery is labeled with
the wrong type: it's labeled as oidvector[] but is really a 2-D
array of OID. That at least results in strange output, and can
result in crashes if further processing such as unnest() is applied.
AFAIK this is only possible with the int2vector and oidvector
types, which are special-cased to be treated mostly as true arrays
even though they aren't quite.
Fix by switching the logic to match get_promoted_array_type by
testing get_array_type not get_element_type, and remove an Assert
thereby made pointless. (We need not introduce a symmetrical
check for get_element_type in the other if-branch, because
initArrayResultArr will check it.) This restores the behavior
that existed before bac27394a introduced initArrayResultAny:
the output really is int2vector[] or oidvector[].
Comparable confusion exists when an input of an ARRAY[] construct
is int2vector or oidvector: transformArrayExpr decides it's dealing
with a multidimensional array constructor, and we end up with
something that's a multidimensional OID array but is alleged to be
of type oidvector. I have not found a crashing case here, but it's
easy to demonstrate totally-wrong results. Adjust that code so
that what you get is an oidvector[] instead, for consistency with
ARRAY() subqueries. (This change also makes these types work like
domains-over-arrays in this context, which seems correct.)

Cause parallel workers to not check datallowconn, rolcanlogin, and
ACL_CONNECT privileges. The leader already checked these things
(except for rolcanlogin which might have been checked for a different
role). Re-checking can accomplish little except to induce unexpected
failures in applications that might not even be aware that their query
has been parallelized. We already had the principle that parallel
workers rely on their leader to pass a valid set of authorization
information, so this change just extends that a bit further.
Also, modify the ReservedConnections, datconnlimit and rolconnlimit
logic so that these limits are only enforced against regular backends,
and only regular backends are counted while checking if the limits
were already reached. Previously, background processes that had an
assigned database or role were subject to these limits (with rather
random exclusions for autovac workers and walsenders), and the set of
existing processes that counted against each limit was quite haphazard
as well. The point of these limits, AFAICS, is to ensure the
availability of PGPROC slots for regular backends. Since all other
types of processes have their own separate pools of PGPROC slots, it
makes no sense either to enforce these limits against them or to count
them while enforcing the limit.
While edge-case failures of these sorts have been possible for a
long time, the problem got a good deal worse with commit 5a2fed911
(CVE-2024-10978), which caused parallel workers to make some of these
checks using the leader's current role where before we had used its
AuthenticatedUserId, thus allowing parallel queries to fail after
SET ROLE. The previous behavior was fairly accidental and I have
no desire to return to it.
This patch includes reverting 73c9f91a1, which was an emergency hack
to suppress these same checks in some cases. It wasn't complete,
as shown by a recent bug report from Laurenz Albe. We can also revert
fd4d93d26 and 492217301, which hacked around the same problems in one
regression test.
In passing, remove the special case for autovac workers in
CheckMyDatabase; it seems cleaner to have AutoVacWorkerMain pass
the INIT_PG_OVERRIDE_ALLOW_CONNS flag, now that that does what's
needed.
Like 5a2fed911, back-patch to supported branches (which sadly no
longer includes v12).

818119afccd3 has introduced the "generation" concept in pgstats entries,
incremented a counter when a pgstats entry is reinitialized, but it did
not count on the fact that backends still holding local references to
such entries need to be refreshed if the cache age is outdated. The
previous logic only updated local references when an entry was dropped,
but it needs also to consider entries that are reinitialized.
This matters for replication slot stats (as well as custom pgstats kinds
in 18~), where concurrent drops and creates of a slot could cause
incorrect stats to be locally referenced. This would lead to an
assertion failure at shutdown when writing out the stats file, as the
backend holding an outdated local reference would not be able to drop
during its shutdown sequence the stats entry that should be dropped, as
the last process holding a reference to the stats entry. The
checkpointer was then complaining about such an entry late in the
shutdown sequence, after the shutdown checkpoint is finished with the
control file updated, causing the stats file to not be generated. In
non-assert builds, the entry would just be skipped with the stats file
written.
Note that only logical replication slots use statistics.
A test case based on TAP is added to test_decoding, where a persistent
connection peeking at a slot's data is kept with concurrent drops and
creates of the same slot. This is based on the isolation test case that
Anton has sent. As it requires a node shutdown with a check to make
sure that the stats file is written with this specific sequence of
events, TAP is used instead.

These format codes produce or consume strings of digits, so they
should be labeled with is_digit = true, but they were not.
This has effect in only one place, where is_next_separator()
is checked to see if the preceding format code should slurp up
all the available digits. Thus, with a format such as '...SSFF3'
with remaining input '12345', the 'SS' code would consume all
five digits (and then complain about seconds being out of range)
when it should eat only two digits.
Per report from Nick Davies. This bug goes back to d589f9446
where the FFn codes were introduced, so back-patch to v13.

Commit 352f6f2d used %d instead of %lu to format DWORD (unsigned long)
with psprintf(). The _WIN32_WINNT value recently changed for MinGW in
REL_15_STABLE (commit d700e8d7), so the code was suddenly being
compiled, with warnings from gcc.
The warnings were already fixed in 16+ by commits 495ed0ef and a9bc04b2
after the _WIN32_WINNT value was increase there. 14 and 13 didn't warn
because they still use a lower value for MinGW, and supported versions
of Visual Studio should compile the code in all live branches but don't
check our format string.
The change doesn't affect the result: sizeof(int) == sizeof(long) on
this platform, and the values are computed with expressions that cannot
exceed INT_MAX so were never interpreted as negative.
Back-patch the formatting change from those commits into 13-15. This
should turn CI's 15 branch green again and stop fairywren from warning
about that on 15.

This WARNING appeared because SearchSysCacheLocked1() read
cc_relisshared before catcache initialization, when the field is false
unconditionally. On the basis of reading false there, it constructed a
locktag as though pg_tablespace weren't relisshared. Only shared
catalogs could be affected, and only GRANT TABLESPACE was affected in
practice. SearchSysCacheLocked1() callers use one other shared-relation
syscache, DATABASEOID. DATABASEOID is initialized by the end of
CheckMyDatabase(), making the problem unreachable for pg_database.
Back-patch to v13 (all supported versions). This has no known impact
before v16, where ExecGrant_common() first appeared. Earlier branches
avoid trouble by having a separate ExecGrant_Tablespace() that doesn't
use LOCKTAG_TUPLE. However, leaving this unfixed in v15 could ensnare a
future back-patch of a SearchSysCacheLocked1() call.

Ordinarily transformSetOperationTree will collect all UNION/
INTERSECT/EXCEPT steps into the setOperations tree of the topmost
Query, so that leaf queries do not contain any setOperations.
However, it cannot thus flatten a subquery that also contains
WITH, ORDER BY, FOR UPDATE, or LIMIT. I (tgl) forgot that in
commit 07b4c48b6 and wrote an assertion in rule deparsing that
a leaf's setOperations would always be empty.
If it were nonempty then we would want to parenthesize the subquery
to ensure that the output represents the setop nesting correctly
(e.g. UNION below INTERSECT had better get parenthesized). So
rather than just removing the faulty Assert, let's change it into
an additional case to check to decide whether to add parens. We
don't expect that the additional case will ever fire, but it's
cheap insurance.

This fixes a set of race conditions with cumulative statistics where a
shared stats entry could be dropped while it should still be valid in
the event when it is reused: an entry may refer to a different object
but requires the same hash key. This can happen with various stats
kinds, like:
- Replication slots that compute internally an index number, for
different slot names.
- Stats kinds that use an OID in the object key, where a wraparound
causes the same key to be used if an OID is used for the same object.
- As of PostgreSQL 18, custom pgstats kinds could also be an issue,
depending on their implementation.
This issue is fixed by introducing a counter called "generation" in the
shared entries via PgStatShared_HashEntry, initialized at 0 when an
entry is created and incremented when the same entry is reused, to avoid
concurrent issues on drop because of other backends still holding a
reference to it. This "generation" is copied to the local copy that a
backend holds when looking at an object, then cross-checked with the
shared entry to make sure that the entry is not dropped even if its
"refcount" justifies that if it has been reused.
This problem could show up when a backend shuts down and needs to
discard any entries it still holds, causing statistics to be removed
when they should not, or even an assertion failure. Another report
involved a failure in a standby after an OID wraparound, where the
startup process would FATAL on a "can only drop stats once", stopping
recovery abruptly. The buildfarm has been sporadically complaining
about the problem, as well, but the window is hard to reach with the
in-core tests.
Note that the issue can be reproduced easily by adding a sleep before
dshash_find() in pgstat_release_entry_ref() to enlarge the problematic
window while repeating test_decoding's isolation test oldest_xmin a
couple of times, for example, as pointed out by Alexander Lakhin.

Commit 5a2fed911 had an unexpected side-effect: the parallel worker
launched for the new test case would fail if it couldn't use a
superuser-reserved connection slot. The reason that test failed
while all our pre-existing ones worked is that the connection
privilege tests in InitPostgres had been based on the superuserness
of the leader's AuthenticatedUserId, but after the rearrangements
of 5a2fed911 we were testing the superuserness of CurrentUserId,
which the new test case deliberately made to be a non-superuser.
This all seems very accidental and probably not the behavior we really
want, but a security patch is no time to be redesigning things.
Pending some discussion about desirable semantics, hack it so that
InitPostgres continues to pay attention to the superuserness of
AuthenticatedUserId when starting a parallel worker.

The SQL spec mandates that SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION implies
SET ROLE NONE. We tried to implement that within the lowest-level
functions that manipulate these settings, but that was a bad idea.
In particular, guc.c assumes that it doesn't matter in what order
it applies GUC variable updates, but that was not the case for these
two variables. This problem, compounded by some hackish attempts to
work around it, led to some security-grade issues:
* Rolling back a transaction that had done SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION
would revert to SET ROLE NONE, even if that had not been the previous
state, so that the effective user ID might now be different from what
it had been.
* The same for SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION in a function SET clause.
* If a parallel worker inspected current_setting('role'), it saw
"none" even when it should see something else.
Also, although the parallel worker startup code intended to cope
with the current role's pg_authid row having disappeared, its
implementation of that was incomplete so it would still fail.
Fix by fully separating the miscinit.c functions that assign
session_authorization from those that assign role. To implement the
spec's requirement, teach set_config_option itself to perform "SET
ROLE NONE" when it sets session_authorization. (This is undoubtedly
ugly, but the alternatives seem worse. In particular, there's no way
to do it within assign_session_authorization without incompatible
changes in the API for GUC assign hooks.) Also, improve
ParallelWorkerMain to directly set all the relevant user-ID variables
instead of relying on some of them to get set indirectly. That
allows us to survive not finding the pg_authid row during worker
startup.
In v16 and earlier, this includes back-patching 9987a7bf3 which
fixed a violation of GUC coding rules: SetSessionAuthorization
is not an appropriate place to be throwing errors from.

Now that lstat() reports junction points with S_IFLNK/S_ISLINK(), and
unlink() can unlink them, there is no need for conditional code for
Windows in a few places. That was expressed by testing for WIN32 or
S_ISLNK, which we can now constant-fold.
The coding around pgwin32_is_junction() was a bit suspect anyway, as we
never checked for errors, and we also know that errors can be spuriously
reported because of transient sharing violations on this OS. The
lstat()-based code has handling for that.
This also reverts 4fc6b6ee on master only. That was done because
lstat() didn't previously work for symlinks (junction points), but now
it does.

PgStat_HashKey is currently initialized in a way that could result in
random data if the structure has any padding bytes. The structure
has no padding bytes currently, fortunately, but it could become a
problem should the structure change at some point in the future.
The code is changed to use some memset(0) so as any padding would be
handled properly, as it would be surprising to see random failures in
the pgstats entry lookups. PgStat_HashKey is a structure internal to
pgstats, and an ABI change could be possible in the scope of a bug fix,
so backpatch down to 15 where this has been introduced.

The inplace update survives ROLLBACK. The inval didn't, so another
backend's DDL could then update the row without incorporating the
inplace update. In the test this fixes, a mix of CREATE INDEX and ALTER
TABLE resulted in a table with an index, yet relhasindex=f. That is a
source of index corruption. Back-patch to v12 (all supported versions).
The back branch versions don't change WAL, because those branches just
added end-of-recovery SIResetAll(). All branches change the ABI of
extern function PrepareToInvalidateCacheTuple(). No PGXN extension
calls that, and there's no apparent use case in extensions.

Several places treat MyStartTime as a "long", which is only 32 bits
wide on some platforms. In reality, MyStartTime is a pg_time_t,
i.e., a signed 64-bit integer. This will lead to interesting bugs
on the aforementioned systems in 2038 when signed 32-bit integers
are no longer sufficient to store Unix time (e.g., "pg_ctl start"
hanging). To fix, ensure that MyStartTime is handled as a 64-bit
value everywhere. (Of course, users will need to ensure that
time_t is 64 bits wide on their system, too.)

pg_cursor() supposed that any Portal it finds in the hash table must
have sourceText set up, but there's an edge case where that is not so.
A newly-created Portal has sourceText = NULL, and that doesn't change
until PortalDefineQuery is called. In SPI_cursor_open_internal,
we perform GetCachedPlan between CreatePortal and PortalDefineQuery,
and it's possible for user-defined code to execute during that
planning and cause a fetch from the pg_cursors view, resulting in a
null-pointer-dereference crash. (It looks like the same could happen
in exec_bind_message, but I've not tried to provoke a failure there.)
I considered trying to fix this by setting sourceText sooner, but
there may be instances of this same calling pattern in extensions,
and we couldn't be sure they'd get the memo promptly. It seems
better to redefine pg_cursor as not showing Portals that have
not yet had PortalDefineQuery called on them, which we can do by
just skipping them if sourceText is still NULL.
(Before a1c692358, pg_cursor would instead return a row with NULL
in the statement column. We could revert to that behavior but it
doesn't really seem like a better definition, especially since our
documentation doesn't suggest that the column could be NULL.)

The previous commit fixed some ways of losing an inplace update. It
remained possible to lose one when a backend working toward a
heap_update() copied a tuple into memory just before inplace update of
that tuple. In catalogs eligible for inplace update, use LOCKTAG_TUPLE
to govern admission to the steps of copying an old tuple, modifying it,
and issuing heap_update(). This includes MERGE commands. To avoid
changing most of the pg_class DDL, don't require LOCKTAG_TUPLE when
holding a relation lock sufficient to exclude inplace updaters.
Back-patch to v12 (all supported versions). In v13 and v12, "UPDATE
pg_class" or "UPDATE pg_database" can still lose an inplace update. The
v14+ UPDATE fix needs commit 86dc90056dfdbd9d1b891718d2e5614e3e432f35,
and it wasn't worth reimplementing that fix without such infrastructure.

In existing releases of libxml2, xmlXPathCompile can be driven
to stack overflow because it fails to protect itself against
too-deeply-nested input. While there is an upstream fix as of
yesterday, it will take years for that to propagate into all
shipping versions. In the meantime, we can protect our own
usages basically for free by calling xmlXPathCtxtCompile instead.
(The actual bug is that libxml2 keeps its nesting counter in the
xmlXPathContext, and its parsing code was willing to just skip
counting nesting levels if it didn't have a context. So if we supply
a context, all is well. It seems odd actually that it works at all
to not supply a context, because this means that XPath parsing does
not have access to XML namespace info. Apparently libxml2 never
checks namespaces until runtime? Anyway, this seems like good
future-proofing even if its only immediate effect is to dodge a bug.)
Sadly, this hack only offers protection with libxml2 2.9.11 and newer.
Before that there are multiple similar problems, so if you are
processing untrusted XML it behooves you to get a newer version.
But we have some pretty old libxml2 in the buildfarm, so it seems
impractical to add a regression test to verify this fix.

The code intends to allow GUCs to be set within parallel workers
via function SET clauses, but not otherwise. However, doing so fails
for "session_authorization" and "role", because the assign hooks for
those attempt to set the subsidiary "is_superuser" GUC, and that call
falls foul of the "not otherwise" prohibition. We can't switch to
using GUC_ACTION_SAVE for this, so instead add a new GUC variable
flag GUC_ALLOW_IN_PARALLEL to mark is_superuser as being safe to set
anyway. (This is okay because is_superuser has context PGC_INTERNAL
and thus only hard-wired calls can change it. We'd need more thought
before applying the flag to other GUCs; but maybe there are other
use-cases.) This isn't the prettiest fix perhaps, but other
alternatives we thought of would be much more invasive.
While here, correct a thinko in commit 059de3ca4: when rejecting
a GUC setting within a parallel worker, we should return 0 not -1
if the ereport doesn't longjmp. (This seems to have no consequences
right now because no caller cares, but it's inconsistent.) Improve
the comments to try to forestall future confusion of the same kind.
Despite the lack of field complaints, this seems worth back-patching.
Thanks to Nathan Bossart for the idea to invent a new flag,
and for review.

To deparse a reference to a field of a RECORD-type output of a
subquery, EXPLAIN normally digs down into the subquery's plan to try
to discover exactly which anonymous RECORD type is meant. However,
this can fail if the subquery has been optimized out of the plan
altogether on the grounds that no rows could pass the WHERE quals,
which has been possible at least since 3fc6e2d7f. There isn't
anything remaining in the plan tree that would help us, so fall back
to printing the field name as "fN" for the N'th column of the record.
(This will actually be the right thing some of the time, since it
matches the column names we assign to RowExprs.)

When pg_dump retrieves the list of database objects and performs the
data dump, there was possibility that objects are replaced with others
of the same name, such as views, and access them. This vulnerability
could result in code execution with superuser privileges during the
pg_dump process.
This issue can arise when dumping data of sequences, foreign
tables (only 13 or later), or tables registered with a WHERE clause in
the extension configuration table.
To address this, pg_dump now utilizes the newly introduced
restrict_nonsystem_relation_kind GUC parameter to restrict the
accesses to non-system views and foreign tables during the dump
process. This new GUC parameter is added to back branches too, but
these changes do not require cluster recreation.
