2021-04-13Redesign the caching done by get_cached_rowtype().Tom Lane
Previously, get_cached_rowtype() cached a pointer to a reference-counted tuple descriptor from the typcache, relying on the ExprContextCallback mechanism to release the tupdesc refcount when the expression tree using the tupdesc was destroyed. This worked fine when it was designed, but the introduction of within-DO-block COMMITs broke it. The refcount is logged in a transaction-lifespan resource owner, but plpgsql won't destroy simple expressions made within the DO block (before its first commit) until the DO block is exited. That results in a warning about a leaked tupdesc refcount when the COMMIT destroys the original resource owner, and then an error about the active resource owner not holding a matching refcount when the expression is destroyed. To fix, get rid of the need to have a shutdown callback at all, by instead caching a pointer to the relevant typcache entry. Those survive for the life of the backend, so we needn't worry about the pointer becoming stale. (For registered RECORD types, we can still cache a pointer to the tupdesc, knowing that it won't change for the life of the backend.) This mechanism has been in use in plpgsql and expandedrecord.c since commit 4b93f5799, and seems to work well. This change requires modifying the ExprEvalStep structs used by the relevant expression step types, which is slightly worrisome for back-patching. However, there seems no good reason for extensions to be familiar with the details of these particular sub-structs. Per report from Rohit Bhogate. Back-patch to v11 where within-DO-block COMMITs became a thing. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAAV6ZkQRCVBh8qAY+SZiHnz+U+FqAGBBDaDTjF2yiKa2nJSLKg@mail.gmail.com

2021-01-26Rethink recently-added SPI interfaces.Tom Lane
SPI_execute_with_receiver and SPI_cursor_parse_open_with_paramlist are new in v14 (cf. commit 2f48ede08). Before they can get out the door, let's change their APIs to follow the practice recently established by SPI_prepare_extended etc: shove all optional arguments into a struct that callers are supposed to pre-zero. The hope is to allow future addition of more options without either API breakage or a continuing proliferation of new SPI entry points. With that in mind, choose slightly more generic names for them: SPI_execute_extended and SPI_cursor_parse_open respectively.

2021-01-26Suppress compiler warnings from commit ee895a655.Tom Lane
For obscure reasons, some buildfarm members are now generating complaints about plpgsql_call_handler's "retval" variable possibly being used uninitialized. It seems no less safe than it was before that commit, but these complaints are (mostly?) new. I trust that initializing the variable where it's declared will be enough to shut that up. I also notice that some compilers are warning about setjmp clobber of the same variable, which is maybe a bit more defensible. Mark it volatile to silence that. Also, rearrange the logic to give procedure_resowner a single point of initialization, in hopes of silencing some setjmp-clobber warnings about that. (Marking it volatile would serve too, but its sibling variables are depending on single assignment, so let's stick with that method.)

2021-01-25Improve performance of repeated CALLs within plpgsql procedures.Tom Lane
This patch essentially is cleaning up technical debt left behind by the original implementation of plpgsql procedures, particularly commit d92bc83c4. That patch (or more precisely, follow-on patches fixing its worst bugs) forced us to re-plan CALL and DO statements each time through, if we're in a non-atomic context. That wasn't for any fundamental reason, but just because use of a saved plan requires having a ResourceOwner to hold a reference count for the plan, and we had no suitable resowner at hand, nor would the available APIs support using one if we did. While it's not that expensive to create a "plan" for CALL/DO, the cycles do add up in repeated executions. This patch therefore makes the following API changes: * GetCachedPlan/ReleaseCachedPlan are modified to let the caller specify which resowner to use to pin the plan, rather than forcing use of CurrentResourceOwner. * spi.c gains a "SPI_execute_plan_extended" entry point that lets callers say which resowner to use to pin the plan. This borrows the idea of an options struct from the recently added SPI_prepare_extended, hopefully allowing future options to be added without more API breaks. This supersedes SPI_execute_plan_with_paramlist (which I've marked deprecated) as well as SPI_execute_plan_with_receiver (which is new in v14, so I just took it out altogether). * I also took the opportunity to remove the crude hack of letting plpgsql reach into SPI private data structures to mark SPI plans as "no_snapshot". It's better to treat that as an option of SPI_prepare_extended. Now, when running a non-atomic procedure or DO block that contains any CALL or DO commands, plpgsql creates a ResourceOwner that will be used to pin the plans of the CALL/DO commands. (In an atomic context, we just use CurrentResourceOwner, as before.) Having done this, we can just save CALL/DO plans normally, whether or not they are used across transaction boundaries. This seems to be good for something like 2X speedup of a CALL of a trivial procedure with a few simple argument expressions. By restricting the creation of an extra ResourceOwner like this, there's essentially zero penalty in cases that can't benefit.

2021-01-08Fix plpgsql tests for debug_invalidate_system_caches_always.Tom Lane
Commit c9d529848 resulted in having a couple more places where the error context stack for a failure varies depending on debug_invalidate_system_caches_always (nee CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS). This is not very surprising, since we have to re-parse cached plans if the plan cache is clobbered. Stabilize the expected test output by hiding the context stack in these places, as we've done elsewhere in this test script. (Another idea worth considering, now that we have debug_invalidate_system_caches_always, is to force it to zero for these test cases. That seems like it'd risk reducing the coverage of cache-clobber testing, which might or might not be worth being able to verify that we get the expected error output in normal cases. For the moment I just stuck with the existing technique.) In passing, update comments that referred to CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS. Per buildfarm member hyrax.
2021-01-04Rethink the "read/write parameter" mechanism in pl/pgsql.Tom Lane
Performance issues with the preceding patch to re-implement array element assignment within pl/pgsql led me to realize that the read/write parameter mechanism is misdesigned. Instead of requiring the assignment source expression to be such that *all* its references to the target variable could be passed as R/W, we really want to identify *one* reference to the target variable to be passed as R/W, allowing any other ones to be passed read/only as they would be by default. As long as the R/W reference is a direct argument to the top-level (hence last to be executed) function in the expression, there is no harm in R/O references being passed to other lower parts of the expression. Nor is there any use-case for more than one argument of the top-level function being R/W. Hence, rewrite that logic to identify one single Param that references the target variable, and make only that Param pass a read/write reference, not any other Params referencing the target variable.

2021-01-04Remove PLPGSQL_DTYPE_ARRAYELEM datum type within pl/pgsql.Tom Lane
In the wake of the previous commit, we don't really need this anymore, since array assignment is primarily handled by the core code. The only way that that code could still be reached is that a GET DIAGNOSTICS target variable could be an array element. But that doesn't seem like a particularly essential feature. I'd added it in commit 55caaaeba, but just because it was easy not because anyone had actually asked for it. Hence, revert that patch and then remove the now-unreachable stuff. (If we really had to, we could probably reimplement GET DIAGNOSTICS using the new assignment machinery; but the cost/benefit ratio looks very poor, and it'd likely be a bit slower.) Note that PLPGSQL_DTYPE_RECFIELD remains. It's possible that we could get rid of that too, but maintaining the existing behaviors for RECORD-type variables seems like it might be difficult. Since there's not any functional limitation in those code paths as there was in the ARRAYELEM code, I've not pursued the idea. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/4165684.1607707277@sss.pgh.pa.us
2021-01-04Re-implement pl/pgsql's expression and assignment parsing.Tom Lane
Invent new RawParseModes that allow the core grammar to handle pl/pgsql expressions and assignments directly, and thereby get rid of a lot of hackery in pl/pgsql's parser. This moves a good deal of knowledge about pl/pgsql into the core code: notably, we have to invent a CoercionContext that matches pl/pgsql's (rather dubious) historical behavior for assignment coercions. That's getting away from the original idea of pl/pgsql as an arm's-length extension of the core, but really we crossed that bridge a long time ago. The main advantage of doing this is that we can now use the core parser to generate FieldStore and/or SubscriptingRef nodes to handle assignments to pl/pgsql variables that are records or arrays. That fixes a number of cases that had never been implemented in pl/pgsql assignment, such as nested records and array slicing, and it allows pl/pgsql assignment to support the datatype-specific subscripting behaviors introduced in commit c7aba7c14. There are cosmetic benefits too: when a syntax error occurs in a pl/pgsql expression, the error report no longer includes the confusing "SELECT" keyword that used to get prefixed to the expression text. Also, there seem to be some small speed gains. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/4165684.1607707277@sss.pgh.pa.us
2021-01-04Add the ability for the core grammar to have more than one parse target.Tom Lane
This patch essentially allows gram.y to implement a family of related syntax trees, rather than necessarily always parsing a list of SQL statements. raw_parser() gains a new argument, enum RawParseMode, to say what to do. As proof of concept, add a mode that just parses a TypeName without any other decoration, and use that to greatly simplify typeStringToTypeName(). In addition, invent a new SPI entry point SPI_prepare_extended() to allow SPI users (particularly plpgsql) to get at this new functionality. In hopes of making this the last variant of SPI_prepare(), set up its additional arguments as a struct rather than direct arguments, and promise that future additions to the struct can default to zero. SPI_prepare_cursor() and SPI_prepare_params() can perhaps go away at some point. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/4165684.1607707277@sss.pgh.pa.us

2020-12-28Fix thinko in plpgsql memory leak fix.Tom Lane
Commit a6b1f5365 intended to place the transient "target" list of a CALL statement in the function's statement-lifespan context, but I fat-fingered that and used get_eval_mcontext() instead of get_stmt_mcontext(). The eval_mcontext belongs to the "simple expression" infrastructure, which is destroyed at transaction end.

2020-12-20Multirange datatypesAlexander Korotkov
Multiranges are basically sorted arrays of non-overlapping ranges with set-theoretic operations defined over them. Since v14, each range type automatically gets a corresponding multirange datatype. There are both manual and automatic mechanisms for naming multirange types. Once can specify multirange type name using multirange_type_name attribute in CREATE TYPE.  Otherwise, a multirange type name is generated automatically. If the range type name contains "range" then we change that to "multirange". Otherwise, we add "_multirange" to the end. Implementation of multiranges comes with a space-efficient internal representation format, which evades extra paddings and duplicated storage of oids.  Altogether this format allows fetching a particular range by its index in O(n). Statistic gathering and selectivity estimation are implemented for multiranges. For this purpose, stored multirange is approximated as union range without gaps. This field will likely need improvements in the future. Catversion is bumped.

2020-12-15Improve hash_create()'s API for some added robustness.Tom Lane
Invent a new flag bit HASH_STRINGS to specify C-string hashing, which was formerly the default; and add assertions insisting that exactly one of the bits HASH_STRINGS, HASH_BLOBS, and HASH_FUNCTION be set. This is in hopes of preventing recurrences of the type of oversight fixed in commit a1b8aa1e4 (i.e., mistakenly omitting HASH_BLOBS). Also, when HASH_STRINGS is specified, insist that the keysize be more than 8 bytes. This is a heuristic, but it should catch accidental use of HASH_STRINGS for integer or pointer keys. (Nearly all existing use-cases set the keysize to NAMEDATALEN or more, so there's little reason to think this restriction should be problematic.) Tweak hash_create() to insist that the HASH_ELEM flag be set, and remove the defaults it had for keysize and entrysize. Since those defaults were undocumented and basically useless, no callers omitted HASH_ELEM anyway. Also, remove memset's zeroing the HASHCTL parameter struct from those callers that had one. This has never been really necessary, and while it wasn't a bad coding convention it was confusing that some callers did it and some did not. We might as well save a few cycles by standardizing on "not". Also improve the documentation for hash_create(). In passing, improve reinit.c's usage of a hash table by storing the key as a binary Oid rather than a string; and, since that's a temporary hash table, allocate it in CurrentMemoryContext for neatness.

2020-12-09Support subscripting of arbitrary types, not only arrays.Tom Lane
This patch generalizes the subscripting infrastructure so that any data type can be subscripted, if it provides a handler function to define what that means. Traditional variable-length (varlena) arrays all use array_subscript_handler(), while the existing fixed-length types that support subscripting use raw_array_subscript_handler(). It's expected that other types that want to use subscripting notation will define their own handlers. (This patch provides no such new features, though; it only lays the foundation for them.) To do this, move the parser's semantic processing of subscripts (including coercion to whatever data type is required) into a method callback supplied by the handler. On the execution side, replace the ExecEvalSubscriptingRef* layer of functions with direct calls to callback-supplied execution routines. (Thus, essentially no new run-time overhead should be caused by this patch. Indeed, there is room to remove some overhead by supplying specialized execution routines. This patch does a little bit in that line, but more could be done.) Additional work is required here and there to remove formerly hard-wired assumptions about the result type, collation, etc of a SubscriptingRef expression node; and to remove assumptions that the subscript values must be integers. One useful side-effect of this is that we now have a less squishy mechanism for identifying whether a data type is a "true" array: instead of wiring in weird rules about typlen, we can look to see if pg_type.typsubscript == F_ARRAY_SUBSCRIPT_HANDLER. For this to be bulletproof, we have to forbid user-defined types from using that handler directly; but there seems no good reason for them to do so. This patch also removes assumptions that the number of subscripts is limited to MAXDIM (6), or indeed has any hard-wired limit. That limit still applies to types handled by array_subscript_handler or raw_array_subscript_handler, but to discourage other dependencies on this constant, I've moved it from c.h to utils/array.h.

2020-10-29Don't use custom OID symbols in pg_type.dat, either.Tom Lane
On the same reasoning as in commit 36b931214, forbid using custom oid_symbol macros in pg_type as well as pg_proc, so that we always rely on the predictable macro names generated by genbki.pl. We do continue to grant grandfather status to the names CASHOID and LSNOID, although those are now considered deprecated aliases for the preferred names MONEYOID and PG_LSNOID. This is because there's likely to be client-side code using the old names, and this bout of neatnik-ism doesn't quite seem worth breaking client code. There might be a case for grandfathering EVTTRIGGEROID, too, since externally-maintained PLs may reference that symbol. But renaming such references to EVENT_TRIGGEROID doesn't seem like a particularly heavy lift --- we make far more significant backend API changes in every major release. For now I didn't add that, but we could reconsider if there's pushback. The other names changed here seem pretty unlikely to have any outside uses. Again, we could add alias macros if there are complaints, but for now I didn't. As before, no need for a catversion bump.

A number of places were using appendStringInfo() when they could have been using appendStringInfoString() instead. While there's no functionality change there, it's just more efficient to use appendStringInfoString() when no formatting is required. Likewise for some appendStringInfoString() calls which were just appending a single char. We can just use appendStringInfoChar() for that.

2020-09-29Fix memory leak in plpgsql's CALL processing.Tom Lane
When executing a CALL or DO in a non-atomic context (i.e., not inside a function or query), plpgsql creates a new plan each time through, as a rather hacky solution to some resource management issues. But it failed to free this plan until exit of the current procedure or DO block, resulting in serious memory bloat in procedures that called other procedures many times. Fix by remembering to free the plan, and by being more honest about restoring the previous state (otherwise, recursive procedure calls have a problem). There was also a smaller leak associated with recalculation of the "target" list of output variables. Fix that by using the statement- lifespan context to hold non-permanent values.

2020-07-14Fix -Wcast-function-type warningsPeter Eisentraut
Three groups of issues needed to be addressed: load_external_function() and related functions returned PGFunction, even though not necessarily all callers are looking for a function of type PGFunction. Since these functions are really just wrappers around dlsym(), change to return void * just like dlsym(). In dynahash.c, we are using strlcpy() where a function with a signature like memcpy() is expected. This should be safe, as the new comment there explains, but the cast needs to be augmented to avoid the warning. In PL/Python, methods all need to be cast to PyCFunction, per Python API, but this now runs afoul of these warnings. (This issue also exists in core CPython.) To fix the second and third case, we add a new type pg_funcptr_t that is defined specifically so that gcc accepts it as a special function pointer that can be cast to any other function pointer without the warning. Also add -Wcast-function-type to the standard warning flags, subject to configure check.

2020-07-07Don't create pg_type entries for sequences or toast tables.Tom Lane
Commit f7f70d5e2 left one inconsistency behind: we're still creating pg_type entries for the composite types of sequences and toast tables, but not arrays over those composites. But there seems precious little reason to have named composite types for toast tables, and not much more to have them for sequences (especially given the thought that sequences may someday not be standalone relations at all). So, let's close that inconsistency by removing these composite types, rather than adding arrays for them. This buys back a little bit of the initial pg_type bloat added by the previous patch, and could be a significant savings in a large database with many toast tables. Aside from a small logic rearrangement in heap_create_with_catalog, this patch mostly needs to clean up some places that were assuming that pg_class.reltype always has a valid value. Those are really pre-existing bugs, given that it's documented otherwise; notably, the plpgsql changes fix code that gives "cache lookup failed for type 0" on indexes today. But none of these seem interesting enough to back-patch. Also, remove the pg_dump/pg_upgrade infrastructure for propagating a toast table's pg_type OID into the new database, since we no longer need that.

This saves one level of C function call per plpgsql statement executed, and permits a tiny additional optimization of not saving and restoring estate->err_stmt for each statement in a block. The net effect seems nearly un-measurable on x86_64, but there's a clear win on aarch64, amounting to two or three percent in a loop over a few simple plpgsql statements. To do this, we have to get rid of the other existing call sites for exec_stmt(). Replace them with exec_toplevel_block(), which is just defined to do what exec_stmts() does, but for a single PLpgSQL_stmt_block statement.

2020-06-12Avoid using a cursor in plpgsql's RETURN QUERY statement.Tom Lane
plpgsql has always executed the query given in a RETURN QUERY command by opening it as a cursor and then fetching a few rows at a time, which it turns around and dumps into the function's result tuplestore. The point of this was to keep from blowing out memory with an oversized SPITupleTable result (note that while a tuplestore can spill tuples to disk, SPITupleTable cannot). However, it's rather inefficient, both because of extra data copying and because of executor entry/exit overhead. In recent versions, a new performance problem has emerged: use of a cursor prevents use of a parallel plan for the executed query. We can improve matters by skipping use of a cursor and having the executor push result tuples directly into the function's result tuplestore. However, a moderate amount of new infrastructure is needed to make that idea work: * We can use the existing tstoreReceiver.c DestReceiver code to funnel executor output to the tuplestore, but it has to be extended to support plpgsql's requirement for possibly applying a tuple conversion map. * SPI needs to be extended to allow use of a caller-supplied DestReceiver instead of its usual receiver that puts tuples into a SPITupleTable. Two new API calls are needed to handle both the RETURN QUERY and RETURN QUERY EXECUTE cases. I also felt that I didn't want these new API calls to use the legacy method of specifying query parameter values with "char" null flags (the old ' '/'n' convention); rather they should accept ParamListInfo objects containing the parameter type and value info. This required a bit of additional new infrastructure since we didn't yet have any parse analysis callback that would interpret $N parameter symbols according to type data supplied in a ParamListInfo. There seems to be no harm in letting makeParamList install that callback by default, rather than leaving a new ParamListInfo's parserSetup hook as NULL. (Indeed, as of HEAD, I couldn't find anyplace that was using the parserSetup field at all; plpgsql was using parserSetupArg for its own purposes, but parserSetup seemed to be write-only.) We can actually get plpgsql out of the business of using legacy null flags altogether, and using ParamListInfo instead of its ad-hoc PreparedParamsData structure; but this requires inventing one more SPI API call that can replace SPI_cursor_open_with_args. That seems worth doing, though. SPI_execute_with_args and SPI_cursor_open_with_args are now unused anywhere in the core PG distribution. Perhaps someday we could deprecate/remove them. But cleaning up the crufty bits of the SPI API is a task for a different patch. Per bug #16040 from Jeremy Smith. This is unfortunately too invasive to consider back-patching. Patch by me; thanks to Hamid Akhtar for review. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/16040-eaacad11fecfb198@postgresql.org

2020-05-16Run pgindent with new pg_bsd_indent version 2.1.1.Tom Lane
Thomas Munro fixed a longstanding annoyance in pg_bsd_indent, that it would misformat lines containing IsA() macros on the assumption that the IsA() call should be treated like a cast. This improves some other cases involving field/variable names that match typedefs, too. The only places that get worse are a couple of uses of the OpenSSL macro STACK_OF(); we'll gladly take that trade-off. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20200114221814.GA19630@alvherre.pgsql
2020-05-14Initial pgindent and pgperltidy run for v13.Tom Lane
Includes some manual cleanup of places that pgindent messed up, most of which weren't per project style anyway. Notably, it seems some people didn't absorb the style rules of commit c9d297751, because there were a bunch of new occurrences of function calls with a newline just after the left paren, all with faulty expectations about how the rest of the call would get indented.

2020-04-13Use perl warnings pragma consistentlyAndrew Dunstan
We've had a mixture of the warnings pragma, the -w switch on the shebang line, and no warnings at all. This patch removes the -w swicth and add the warnings pragma to all perl sources missing it. It raises the severity of the TestingAndDebugging::RequireUseWarnings perlcritic policy to level 5, so that we catch any future violations.

2020-04-02Improve user control over truncation of logged bind-parameter values.Tom Lane
This patch replaces the boolean GUC log_parameters_on_error introduced by commit ba79cb5dc with an integer log_parameter_max_length_on_error, adding the ability to specify how many bytes to trim each logged parameter value to. (The previous coding hard-wired that choice at 64 bytes.) In addition, add a new parameter log_parameter_max_length that provides similar control over truncation of query parameters that are logged in response to statement-logging options, as opposed to errors. Previous releases always logged such parameters in full, possibly causing log bloat. For backwards compatibility with prior releases, log_parameter_max_length defaults to -1 (log in full), while log_parameter_max_length_on_error defaults to 0 (no logging). Per discussion, log_parameter_max_length is SUSET since the DBA should control routine logging behavior, but log_parameter_max_length_on_error is USERSET because it also affects errcontext data sent back to the client.

2020-03-27Rearrange validity checks for plpgsql "simple" expressions.Tom Lane
Buildfarm experience shows what probably should've occurred to me before: if a cache flush occurs partway through building a generic plan, then the plansource may have is_valid = false even though the plan is valid. We need to accept this case, use the generated plan, and then try to replan the next time. We can't try to replan immediately, because that would produce an infinite loop in CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS builds; moreover it's really overkill. (We can assume that the plan is valid, it's just possibly a bit stale. Note that the pre-existing code behaved this way, and the non-simple-expression code paths do too.) Conversely, not using the generated plan would drop us into the not-a-simple-expression code path, which is bad for performance and would also cause regression-test failures due to visibly different error-reporting behavior. Hence, refactor the validity-check functions so that the initial check and recheck cases can react differently to plansource->is_valid. This makes their usage a bit simpler, too.

2020-03-26Improve performance of "simple expressions" in PL/pgSQL.Tom Lane
For relatively simple expressions (say, "x + 1" or "x > 0"), plpgsql's management overhead exceeds the cost of evaluating the expression. This patch substantially improves that situation, providing roughly 2X speedup for such trivial expressions. First, add infrastructure in the plancache to allow fast re-validation of cached plans that contain no table access, and hence need no locks. Teach plpgsql to use this infrastructure for expressions that it's already deemed "simple" (which in particular will never contain table references). The fast path still requires checking that search_path hasn't changed, so provide a fast path for OverrideSearchPathMatchesCurrent by counting changes that have occurred to the active search path in the current session. This is simplistic but seems enough for now, seeing that PushOverrideSearchPath is not used in any performance-critical cases. Second, manage the refcounts on simple expressions' cached plans using a transaction-lifespan resource owner, so that we only need to take and release an expression's refcount once per transaction not once per expression evaluation. The management of this resource owner exactly parallels the existing management of plpgsql's simple-expression EState. Add some regression tests covering this area, in particular verifying that expression caching doesn't break semantics for search_path changes. Patch by me, but it owes something to previous work by Amit Langote, who recognized that getting rid of plancache-related overhead would be a useful thing to do here. Also thanks to Andres Freund for review. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAFj8pRDRVfLdAxsWeVLzCAbkLFZhW549K+67tpOc-faC8uH8zw@mail.gmail.com
2020-03-26Ensure that plpgsql cleans up cleanly during parallel-worker exit.Tom Lane
plpgsql_xact_cb ought to treat events XACT_EVENT_PARALLEL_COMMIT and XACT_EVENT_PARALLEL_ABORT like XACT_EVENT_COMMIT and XACT_EVENT_ABORT respectively, since its goal is to do process-local cleanup. This oversight caused plpgsql's end-of-transaction cleanup to not get done in parallel workers. Since a parallel worker will exit just after the transaction cleanup, the effects of this are limited. I couldn't find any case in the core code with user-visible effects, but perhaps there are some in extensions. In any case it's wrong, so let's fix it before it bites us not after. In passing, add some comments around the handling of expression evaluation resources in DO blocks. There's no live bug there, but it's quite unobvious what's happening; at least I thought so. This isn't related to the other issue, except that I found both things while poking at expression-evaluation performance. Back-patch the plpgsql_xact_cb fix to 9.5 where those event types were introduced, and the DO-block commentary to v11 where DO blocks gained the ability to issue COMMIT/ROLLBACK.
