2021-05-12Rename the logical replication global "wrconn"Alvaro Herrera
The worker.c global wrconn is only meant to be used by logical apply/ tablesync workers, but there are other variables with the same name. To reduce future confusion rename the global from "wrconn" to "LogRepWorkerWalRcvConn". While this is just cosmetic, it seems better to backpatch it all the way back to 10 where this code appeared, to avoid future backpatching issues.

2021-05-11Reduce runtime of privileges.sql test under CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS.Tom Lane
Several queries in the privileges regression test cause the planner to apply the plpgsql function "leak()" to every element of the histogram for atest12.b. Since commit 0c882e52a increased the size of that histogram to 10000 entries, the test invokes that function over 100000 times, which takes an absolutely unreasonable amount of time in clobber-cache-always mode. However, there's no real reason why that has to be a plpgsql function: for the purposes of this test, all that matters is that it not be marked leakproof. So we can replace the plpgsql implementation with a direct call of int4lt, which has the same behavior and is orders of magnitude faster. This is expected to cut several hours off the buildfarm cycle time for CCA animals. It has some positive impact in normal builds too, though that's probably lost in the noise. Back-patch to v13 where 0c882e52a came in. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/575884.1620626638@sss.pgh.pa.us
2021-05-10Fix mishandling of resjunk columns in ON CONFLICT ... UPDATE tlists.Tom Lane
It's unusual to have any resjunk columns in an ON CONFLICT ... UPDATE list, but it can happen when MULTIEXPR_SUBLINK SubPlans are present. If it happens, the ON CONFLICT UPDATE code path would end up storing tuples that include the values of the extra resjunk columns. That's fairly harmless in the short run, but if new columns are added to the table then the values would become accessible, possibly leading to malfunctions if they don't match the datatypes of the new columns. This had escaped notice through a confluence of missing sanity checks, including * There's no cross-check that a tuple presented to heap_insert or heap_update matches the table rowtype. While it's difficult to check that fully at reasonable cost, we can easily add assertions that there aren't too many columns. * The output-column-assignment cases in execExprInterp.c lacked any sanity checks on the output column numbers, which seems like an oversight considering there are plenty of assertion checks on input column numbers. Add assertions there too. * We failed to apply nodeModifyTable's ExecCheckPlanOutput() to the ON CONFLICT UPDATE tlist. That wouldn't have caught this specific error, since that function is chartered to ignore resjunk columns; but it sure seems like a bad omission now that we've seen this bug. In HEAD, the right way to fix this is to make the processing of ON CONFLICT UPDATE tlists work the same as regular UPDATE tlists now do, that is don't add "SET x = x" entries, and use ExecBuildUpdateProjection to evaluate the tlist and combine it with old values of the not-set columns. This adds a little complication to ExecBuildUpdateProjection, but allows removal of a comparable amount of now-dead code from the planner. In the back branches, the most expedient solution seems to be to (a) use an output slot for the ON CONFLICT UPDATE projection that actually matches the target table, and then (b) invent a variant of ExecBuildProjectionInfo that can be told to not store values resulting from resjunk columns, so it doesn't try to store into nonexistent columns of the output slot. (We can't simply ignore the resjunk columns altogether; they have to be evaluated for MULTIEXPR_SUBLINK to work.) This works back to v10. In 9.6, projections work much differently and we can't cheaply give them such an option. The 9.6 version of this patch works by inserting a JunkFilter when it's necessary to get rid of resjunk columns. In addition, v11 and up have the reverse problem when trying to perform ON CONFLICT UPDATE on a partitioned table. Through a further oversight, adjust_partition_tlist() discarded resjunk columns when re-ordering the ON CONFLICT UPDATE tlist to match a partition. This accidentally prevented the storing-bogus-tuples problem, but at the cost that MULTIEXPR_SUBLINK cases didn't work, typically crashing if more than one row has to be updated. Fix by preserving resjunk columns in that routine. (I failed to resist the temptation to add more assertions there too, and to do some minor code beautification.) Per report from Andres Freund. Back-patch to all supported branches. Security: CVE-2021-32028
2021-05-10Prevent integer overflows in array subscripting calculations.Tom Lane
While we were (mostly) careful about ensuring that the dimensions of arrays aren't large enough to cause integer overflow, the lower bound values were generally not checked. This allows situations where lower_bound + dimension overflows an integer. It seems that that's harmless so far as array reading is concerned, except that array elements with subscripts notionally exceeding INT_MAX are inaccessible. However, it confuses various array-assignment logic, resulting in a potential for memory stomps. Fix by adding checks that array lower bounds aren't large enough to cause lower_bound + dimension to overflow. (Note: this results in disallowing cases where the last subscript position would be exactly INT_MAX. In principle we could probably allow that, but there's a lot of code that computes lower_bound + dimension and would need adjustment. It seems doubtful that it's worth the trouble/risk to allow it.) Somewhat independently of that, array_set_element() was careless about possible overflow when checking the subscript of a fixed-length array, creating a different route to memory stomps. Fix that too. Security: CVE-2021-32027

2021-05-07AlterSubscription_refresh: avoid stomping on global variableAlvaro Herrera
This patch replaces use of the global "wrconn" variable in AlterSubscription_refresh with a local variable of the same name, making it consistent with other functions in subscriptioncmds.c (e.g. DropSubscription). The global wrconn is only meant to be used for logical apply/tablesync worker. Abusing it this way is known to cause trouble if an apply worker manages to do a subscription refresh, such as reported by Jeremy Finzel and diagnosed by Andres Freund back in November 2020, at https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/20201111215820.qihhrz7fayu6myfi@alap3.anarazel.de Backpatch to 10. In branch master, also move the connection establishment to occur outside the PG_TRY block; this way we can remove a test for NULL in PG_FINALLY, and it also makes the code more consistent with similar code in the same file.

2021-05-05Have ALTER CONSTRAINT recurse on partitioned tablesAlvaro Herrera
When ALTER TABLE .. ALTER CONSTRAINT changes deferrability properties changed in a partitioned table, we failed to propagate those changes correctly to partitions and to triggers. Repair by adding a recursion mechanism to affect all derived constraints and all derived triggers. (In particular, recurse to partitions even if their respective parents are already in the desired state: it is possible for the partitions to have been altered individually.) Because foreign keys involve tables in two sides, we cannot use the standard ALTER TABLE recursion mechanism, so we invent our own by following pg_constraint.conparentid down. When ALTER TABLE .. ALTER CONSTRAINT is invoked on the derived pg_constraint object that's automaticaly created in a partition as a result of a constraint added to its parent, raise an error instead of pretending to work and then failing to modify all the affected triggers. Before this commit such a command would be allowed but failed to affect all triggers, so it would silently misbehave. (Restoring dumps of existing databases is not affected, because pg_dump does not produce anything for such a derived constraint anyway.) Add some tests for the case. Backpatch to 11, where foreign key support was added to partitioned tables by commit 3de241dba86f. (A related change is commit f56f8f8da6af in pg12 which added support for FKs *referencing* partitioned tables; this is what forces us to use an ad-hoc recursion mechanism for this.)

2021-04-30Disallow calling anything but plain functions via the fastpath API.Tom Lane
Reject aggregates, window functions, and procedures. Aggregates failed anyway, though with a somewhat obscure error message. Window functions would hit an Assert or null-pointer dereference. Procedures seemed to work as long as you didn't try to do transaction control, but (a) transaction control is sort of the point of a procedure, and (b) it's not entirely clear that no bugs lurk in that path. Given the lack of testing of this area, it seems safest to be conservative in what we support. Also reject proretset functions, as the fastpath protocol can't support returning a set. Also remove an easily-triggered assertion that the given OID isn't 0; the subsequent lookups can handle that case themselves. Per report from Theodor-Arsenij Larionov-Trichkin.

2021-04-29Fix some more omissions in pg_upgrade's tests for non-upgradable types.Tom Lane
Commits 29aeda6e4 et al closed up some oversights involving not checking for non-upgradable types within container types, such as arrays and ranges. However, I only looked at version.c, failing to notice that there were substantially-equivalent tests in check.c. (The division of responsibility between those files is less than clear...) In addition, because genbki.pl does not guarantee that auto-generated rowtype OIDs will hold still across versions, we need to consider that the composite type associated with a system catalog or view is non-upgradable. It seems unlikely that someone would have a user column declared that way, but if they did, trying to read it in another PG version would likely draw "no such pg_type OID" failures, thanks to the type OID embedded in composite Datums. To support the composite and reg*-type cases, extend the recursive query that does the search to allow any base query that returns a column of pg_type OIDs, rather than limiting it to exactly one starting type. As before, back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/2798740.1619622555@sss.pgh.pa.us

2021-04-22Fix bugs in RETURNING in cross-partition UPDATE cases.Tom Lane
If the source and destination partitions don't have identical rowtypes (for example, one has dropped columns the other lacks), then the planSlot contents will be different because of that. If the query has a RETURNING list that tries to return resjunk columns out of the planSlot, that is columns from tables that were joined to the target table, we'd get errors or wrong answers. That's because we used the RETURNING list generated for the destination partition, which expects a planSlot matching that partition's subplan. The most practical fix seems to be to convert the updated destination tuple back to the source partition's rowtype, and then apply the RETURNING list generated for the source partition. This avoids making fragile assumptions about whether the per-subpartition subplans generated all the resjunk columns in the same order. This has been broken since v11 introduced cross-partition UPDATE. The lack of field complaints shows that non-identical partitions aren't a common case; therefore, don't stress too hard about making the conversion efficient. There's no such bug in HEAD, because commit 86dc90056 got rid of per-target-relation variance in the contents of the planSlot. Hence, patch v11-v13 only.

2021-04-20Fix planner failure in some cases of sorting by an aggregate.Tom Lane
An oversight introduced by the incremental-sort patches caused "could not find pathkey item to sort" errors in some situations where a sort key involves an aggregate or window function. The basic problem here is that find_em_expr_usable_for_sorting_rel isn't properly modeling what prepare_sort_from_pathkeys will do later. Rather than hoping we can keep those functions in sync, let's refactor so that they actually share the code for identifying a suitable sort expression. With this refactoring, tlist.c's tlist_member_ignore_relabel is unused. I removed it in HEAD but left it in place in v13, in case any extensions are using it. Per report from Luc Vlaming.

2021-04-16Allow TestLib::slurp_file to skip contents, and use as neededAndrew Dunstan
In order to avoid getting old logfile contents certain functions in PostgresNode were doing one of two things. On Windows it rotated the logfile and restarted the server, while elsewhere it truncated the log file. Both of these are unnecessary. We borrow from the buildfarm which does this instead: note the size of the logfile before we start, and then when fetching the logfile skip to that position before accumulating contents. This is spelled differently on Windows but the effect is the same. This is largely centralized in TestLib's slurp_file function, which has a new optional parameter, the offset to skip to before starting to reading the file. Code in the client becomes much neater.

2021-04-13Fix some inappropriately-disallowed uses of ALTER ROLE/DATABASE SET.Tom Lane
Most GUC check hooks that inspect database state have special checks that prevent them from throwing hard errors for state-dependent issues when source == PGC_S_TEST. This allows, for example, "ALTER DATABASE d SET default_text_search_config = foo" when the "foo" configuration hasn't been created yet. Without this, we have problems during dump/reload or pg_upgrade, because pg_dump has no idea about possible dependencies of GUC values and can't ensure a safe restore ordering. However, check_role() and check_session_authorization() hadn't gotten the memo about that, and would throw hard errors anyway. It's not entirely clear what is the use-case for "ALTER ROLE x SET role = y", but we've now heard two independent complaints about that bollixing an upgrade, so apparently some people are doing it. Hence, fix these two functions to act more like other check hooks with similar needs. (But I did not change their insistence on being inside a transaction, as it's still not apparent that setting either GUC from the configuration file would be wise.) Also fix check_temp_buffers, which had a different form of the disease of making state-dependent checks without any exception for PGC_S_TEST. A cursory survey of other GUC check hooks did not find any more issues of this ilk. (There are a lot of interdependencies among PGC_POSTMASTER and PGC_SIGHUP GUCs, which may be a bad idea, but they're not relevant to the immediate concern because they can't be set via ALTER ROLE/DATABASE.)

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
2021-04-13Avoid improbable PANIC during heap_update.Tom Lane
heap_update needs to clear any existing "all visible" flag on the old tuple's page (and on the new page too, if different). Per coding rules, to do this it must acquire pin on the appropriate visibility-map page while not holding exclusive buffer lock; which creates a race condition since someone else could set the flag whenever we're not holding the buffer lock. The code is supposed to handle that by re-checking the flag after acquiring buffer lock and retrying if it became set. However, one code path through heap_update itself, as well as one in its subroutine RelationGetBufferForTuple, failed to do this. The end result, in the unlikely event that a concurrent VACUUM did set the flag while we're transiently not holding lock, is a non-recurring "PANIC: wrong buffer passed to visibilitymap_clear" failure. This has been seen a few times in the buildfarm since recent VACUUM changes that added code paths that could set the all-visible flag while holding only exclusive buffer lock. Previously, the flag was (usually?) set only after doing LockBufferForCleanup, which would insist on buffer pin count zero, thus preventing the flag from becoming set partway through heap_update. However, it's clear that it's heap_update not VACUUM that's at fault here. What's less clear is whether there is any hazard from these bugs in released branches. heap_update is certainly violating API expectations, but if there is no code path that can set all-visible without a cleanup lock then it's only a latent bug. That's not 100% certain though, besides which we should worry about extensions or future back-patch fixes that could introduce such code paths. I chose to back-patch to v12. Fixing RelationGetBufferForTuple before that would require also back-patching portions of older fixes (notably 0d1fe9f74), which is more code churn than seems prudent to fix a hypothetical issue.

2021-04-12Fix old bug with coercing the result of a COLLATE expression.Tom Lane
There are hacks in parse_coerce.c to push down a requested coercion to below any CollateExpr that may appear. However, we did that even if the requested data type is non-collatable, leading to an invalid expression tree in which CollateExpr is applied to a non-collatable type. The fix is just to drop the CollateExpr altogether, reasoning that it's useless. This bug is ten years old, dating to the original addition of COLLATE support. The lack of field complaints suggests that there aren't a lot of user-visible consequences. We noticed the problem because it would trigger an assertion in DefineVirtualRelation if the invalid structure appears as an output column of a view; however, in a non-assert build, you don't see a crash just a (subtly incorrect) complaint about applying collation to a non-collatable type. I found that by putting the incorrect structure further down in a view, I could make a view definition that would fail dump/reload, per the added regression test case. But CollateExpr doesn't do anything at run-time, so this likely doesn't lead to any really exciting consequences. Per report from Yulin Pei. Back-patch to all supported branches.

Currently, parallel vacuum workers don't use any buffer access strategy.

Using Roman numbers (via "RM" or "rm") for a conversion to calculate a number of months has never considered the case of negative numbers, where a conversion could easily cause out-of-bound memory accesses. The conversions in themselves were not completely consistent either, as specifying 12 would result in NULL, but it should mean XII. This commit reworks the conversion calculation to have a more consistent behavior: - If the number of months and years is 0, return NULL. - If the number of months is positive, return the exact month number. - If the number of months is negative, do a backward calculation, with -1 meaning December, -2 November, etc. Reported-by: Theodor Arsenij Larionov-Trichkin Author: Julien Rouhaud Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/16953-f255a18f8c51f1d5@postgresql.org backpatch-through: 9.6

2021-04-07Don't add non-existent pages to bitmap from BRINTomas Vondra
The code in bringetbitmap() simply added the whole matching page range to the TID bitmap, as determined by pages_per_range, even if some of the pages were beyond the end of the heap. The query then might fail with an error like this: ERROR: could not open file "base/20176/20228.2" (target block 262144): previous segment is only 131021 blocks In this case, the relation has 262093 pages (131072 and 131021 pages), but we're trying to acess block 262144, i.e. first block of the 3rd segment. At that point _mdfd_getseg() notices the preceding segment is incomplete, and fails. Hitting this in practice is rather unlikely, because: * Most indexes use power-of-two ranges, so segments and page ranges align perfectly (segment end is also a page range end). * The table size has to be just right, with the last segment being almost full - less than one page range from full segment, so that the last page range actually crosses the segment boundary. * Prefetch has to be enabled. The regular page access checks that pages are not beyond heap end, but prefetch does not. On older releases (before 12) the execution stops after hitting the first non-existent page, so the prefetch distance has to be sufficient to reach the first page in the next segment to trigger the issue. Since 12 it's enough to just have prefetch enabled, the prefetch distance does not matter. Fixed by not adding non-existent pages to the TID bitmap. Backpatch all the way back to 9.6 (BRIN indexes were introduced in 9.5, but that release is EOL). Backpatch-through: 9.6
2021-04-07Fix potential rare failure in the kerberos TAP testsMichael Paquier
Instead of writing a query to psql's stdin, which can cause a failure where psql exits before writing, reporting a write failure with a broken pipe, this changes the logic to use -c. This was not seen in the buildfarm as no animals with a sensitive environment are running the kerberos tests, but let's be safe. HEAD is able to handle the situation as of 6d41dd0 for all the test suites doing connection checks. f44b9b6 has fixed the same problem for the LDAP tests.

2021-04-06Shut down transaction tracking at startup process exit.Fujii Masao
Maxim Orlov reported that the shutdown of standby server could result in the following assertion failure. The cause of this issue was that, when the shutdown caused the startup process to exit, recovery-time transaction tracking was not shut down even if it's already initialized, and some locks the tracked transactions were holding could not be released. At this situation, if other process was invoked and the PGPROC entry that the startup process used was assigned to it, it found such unreleased locks and caused the assertion failure, during the initialization of it. TRAP: FailedAssertion("SHMQueueEmpty(&(MyProc->myProcLocks[i]))" This commit fixes this issue by making the startup process shut down transaction tracking and release all locks, at the exit of it.

2021-04-04Fix more confusion in SP-GiST.Tom Lane
spg_box_quad_leaf_consistent unconditionally returned the leaf datum as leafValue, even though in its usage for poly_ops that value is of completely the wrong type. In versions before 12, that was harmless because the core code did nothing with leafValue in non-index-only scans ... but since commit 2a6368343, if we were doing a KNN-style scan, spgNewHeapItem would unconditionally try to copy the value using the wrong datatype parameters. Said copying is a waste of time and space if we're not going to return the data, but it accidentally failed to fail until I fixed the datatype confusion in ac9099fc1. Hence, change spgNewHeapItem to not copy the datum unless we're actually going to return it later. This saves cycles and dodges the question of whether lossy opclasses are returning the right type. Also change spg_box_quad_leaf_consistent to not return data that might be of the wrong type, as insurance against somebody introducing a similar bug into the core code in future. It seems like a good idea to back-patch these two changes into v12 and v13, although I'm afraid to change spgNewHeapItem's mistaken idea of which datatype to use in those branches.

2021-04-03pg_checksums: Fix progress reporting.Fujii Masao
pg_checksums uses two counters, total size and current size, to calculate the progress. Previously the progress that pg_checksums reported could not reach 100% at the end. The cause of this issue was that the sizes of only pages excluding new ones in each file were counted as the current size while the size of each file is counted as the total size. That is, the total size of all new pages could be reported as the difference between the total size and current size. This commit fixes this issue by making pg_checksums count the sizes of all pages including new ones in each file as the current size. Back-patch to v12 where progress reporting was added to pg_checksums.

2021-04-02Improve stability of test with vacuum_truncate in reloptions.sqlMichael Paquier
This test has been using a simple VACUUM with pg_relation_size() to check if a relation gets physically truncated or not, but forgot the fact that some concurrent activity, like checkpoint buffer writes, could cause some pages to be skipped. The second test enabling vacuum_truncate could fail, seeing a non-empty relation. The first test would not have failed, but could finish by testing a behavior different than the one aimed for. Both tests gain a FREEZE option, to make the vacuums more aggressive and prevent page skips. This is similar to the issues fixed in c2dc1a7.

2021-04-01Fix pg_restore's misdesigned code for detecting archive file format.Tom Lane
Despite the clear comments pointing out that the duplicative code segments in ReadHead() and _discoverArchiveFormat() needed to be in sync, they were not: the latter did not bother to apply any of the sanity checks in the former. We'd missed noticing this partly because none of those checks would fail in scenarios we customarily test, and partly because the oversight would be masked if both segments execute, which they would in cases other than needing to autodetect the format of a non-seekable stdin source. However, in a case meeting all these requirements --- for example, trying to read a newer-than-supported archive format from non-seekable stdin --- pg_restore missed applying the version check and would likely dump core or otherwise misbehave. The whole thing is silly anyway, because there seems little reason to duplicate the logic beyond the one-line verification that the file starts with "PGDMP". There seems to have been an undocumented assumption that multiple major formats (major enough to require separate reader modules) would nonetheless share the first half-dozen fields of the custom-format header. This seems unlikely, so let's fix it by just nuking the duplicate logic in _discoverArchiveFormat(). Also get rid of the pointless attempt to seek back to the start of the file after successful autodetection. That wastes cycles and it means we have four behaviors to verify not two. Per bug #16951 from Sergey Koposov. This has been broken for decades, so back-patch to all supported versions. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/16951-a4dd68cf0de23048@postgresql.org

2021-03-26Fix ndistinct estimates with system attributesTomas Vondra
When estimating the number of groups using extended statistics, the code was discarding information about system attributes. This led to strange situation that SELECT 1 FROM t GROUP BY ctid; could have produced higher estimate (equal to pg_class.reltuples) than SELECT 1 FROM t GROUP BY a, b, ctid; with extended statistics on (a,b).

2021-03-23Fix psql's \connect command some more.Tom Lane
Jasen Betts reported yet another unintended side effect of commit 85c54287a: reconnecting with "\c service=whatever" did not have the expected results. The reason is that starting from the output of PQconndefaults() effectively allows environment variables (such as PGPORT) to override entries in the service file, whereas the normal priority is the other way around. Not using PQconndefaults at all would require yet a third main code path in do_connect's parameter setup, so I don't really want to fix it that way. But we can have the logic effectively ignore all the default values for just a couple more lines of code. This patch doesn't change the behavior for "\c -reuse-previous=on service=whatever". That remains significantly different from before 85c54287a, because many more parameters will be re-used, and thus not be possible for service entries to replace. But I think this is (mostly?) intentional. In any case, since libpq does not report where it got parameter values from, it's hard to do differently. Per bug #16936 from Jasen Betts. As with the previous patches, back-patch to all supported branches. (9.5 is unfortunately now out of support, so this won't get fixed there.)

2021-03-23Avoid possible crash while finishing up a heap rewrite.Tom Lane
end_heap_rewrite was not careful to ensure that the target relation is open at the smgr level before performing its final smgrimmedsync. In ordinary cases this is no problem, because it would have been opened earlier during the rewrite. However a crash can be reproduced by re-clustering an empty table with CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS enabled. Although that exact scenario does not crash in v13, I think that's a chance result of unrelated planner changes, and the problem is likely still reachable with other test cases. The true proximate cause of this failure is commit c6b92041d, which replaced a call to heap_sync (which was careful about opening smgr) with a direct call to smgrimmedsync. Hence, back-patch to v13.

2021-03-23pg_waldump: Fix bug in per-record statistics.Fujii Masao
pg_waldump --stats=record identifies a record by a combination of the RmgrId and the four bits of the xl_info field of the record. But XACT records use the first bit of those four bits for an optional flag variable, and the following three bits for the opcode to identify a record. So previously the same type of XACT record could have different four bits (three bits are the same but the first one bit is different), and which could cause pg_waldump --stats=record to show two lines of per-record statistics for the same XACT record. This is a bug. This commit changes pg_waldump --stats=record so that it processes only XACT record differently, i.e., filters the opcode out of xl_info and uses a combination of the RmgrId and those three bits as the identifier of a record, only for XACT record. For other records, the four bits of the xl_info field are still used. Back-patch to all supported branches.
