The planner largely failed to consider the possibility that a
PlaceHolderVar's expression might contain a lateral reference to a Var
coming from somewhere outside the PHV's syntactic scope. We had a previous
report of a problem in this area, which I tried to fix in a quick-hack way
in commit 4da6439bd8553059766011e2a42c6e39df08717f, but Antonin Houska
pointed out that there were still some problems, and investigation turned
up other issues. This patch largely reverts that commit in favor of a more
thoroughly thought-through solution. The new theory is that a PHV's
ph_eval_at level cannot be higher than its original syntactic level. If it
contains lateral references, those don't change the ph_eval_at level, but
rather they create a lateral-reference requirement for the ph_eval_at join
relation. The code in joinpath.c needs to handle that.
Another issue is that createplan.c wasn't handling nested PlaceHolderVars
properly.
In passing, push knowledge of lateral-reference checks for join clauses
into join_clause_is_movable_to. This is mainly so that FDWs don't need
to deal with it.
This patch doesn't fix the original join-qual-placement problem reported by
Jeremy Evans (and indeed, one of the new regression test cases shows the
wrong answer because of that). But the PlaceHolderVar problems need to be
fixed before that issue can be addressed, so committing this separately
seems reasonable.

Timeline IDs are unsigned ints everywhere, except the replication parser
treated them as signed ints.

Avoid using the term "updatable" in confusing ways. Suggest a trigger

The planner logic that attempted to make a preliminary estimate of the
ph_needed levels for PlaceHolderVars seems to be completely broken by
lateral references. Fortunately, the potential join order optimization
that this code supported seems to be of relatively little value in
practice; so let's just get rid of it rather than trying to fix it.
Getting rid of this allows fairly substantial simplifications in
placeholder.c, too, so planning in such cases should be a bit faster.
Issue noted while pursuing bugs reported by Jeremy Evans and Antonin
Houska, though this doesn't in itself fix either of their reported cases.
What this does do is prevent an Assert crash in the kind of query
illustrated by the added regression test. (I'm not sure that the plan for
that query is stable enough across platforms to be usable as a regression
test output ... but we'll soon find out from the buildfarm.)
Back-patch to 9.3. The problem case can't arise without LATERAL, so
no need to touch older branches.

We've seen multiple cases of people looking at the postmaster's original
stderr output to try to diagnose problems, not realizing/remembering that
their logging configuration is set up to send log messages somewhere else.
This seems particularly likely to happen in prepackaged distributions,
since many packagers patch the code to change the factory-standard logging
configuration to something more in line with their platform conventions.
In hopes of reducing confusion, emit a LOG message about this at the point
in startup where we are about to switch log output away from the original
stderr, providing a pointer to where to look instead. This message will
appear as the last thing in the original stderr output. (We might later
also try to emit such link messages when logging parameters are changed
on-the-fly; but that case seems to be both noticeably harder to do nicely,
and much less frequently a problem in practice.)
Per discussion, back-patch to 9.3 but not further.

We already use search_path to specify the schema, so there is no need
for pg_dump to schema-qualify the name. Also remove dead code.

Similar to 2cfb1c6f77734db81b6e74bcae630f93b94f69be, the order in which
dictionary elements are printed is not reliable. This reappeared in the
tests of the string representation of result objects. Reduce the test
case to one result set column so that there is no question of order.

In PM_WAIT_DEAD_END state, checkpointer process must be dead already.
But an immediate shutdown could make postmaster's state machine
transition to PM_WAIT_DEAD_END state even if checkpointer process is
still running, and which caused assertion failure. This bug was introduced
in commit 457d6cf049c57cabe9b46ea13f26138040a214ec.
This patch ensures that postmaster's state machine doesn't transition to
PM_WAIT_DEAD_END state in an immediate shutdown while checkpointer
process is running.

Formerly, query_planner returned one or possibly two Paths for the topmost
join relation, so that grouping_planner didn't see the join RelOptInfo
(at least not directly; it didn't have any hesitation about examining
cheapest_path->parent, though). However, correct selection of the Paths
involved a significant amount of coupling between query_planner and
grouping_planner, a problem which has gotten worse over time. It seems
best to give up on this API choice and instead return the topmost
RelOptInfo explicitly. Then grouping_planner can pull out the Paths it
wants from the rel's path list. In this way we can remove all knowledge
of grouping behaviors from query_planner.
The only real benefit of the old way is that in the case of an empty
FROM clause, we never made any RelOptInfos at all, just a Path. Now
we have to gin up a dummy RelOptInfo to represent the empty FROM clause.
That's not a very big deal though.
While at it, simplify query_planner's API a bit more by having the caller
set up root->tuple_fraction and root->limit_tuples, rather than passing
those values as separate parameters. Since query_planner no longer does
anything with either value, requiring it to fill the PlannerInfo fields
seemed pretty arbitrary.
This patch just rearranges code; it doesn't (intentionally) change any
behaviors. Followup patches will do more interesting things.

Open and lock each index before checking definition in RMVC. The
ExclusiveLock on the related table is not viewed as sufficient to
ensure that no changes are made to the index definition, and
invalidation messages from other backends might have been missed.
Additionally, use RelationGetIndexExpressions() and check for NIL
rather than doing our own loop.
Protect against redefinition of tid and rowvar operators in RMVC.
While working on this, noticed that the fixes for bugs found during
the CF made the UPDATE statement useless, since no rows could
qualify for that treatment any more. Ripping out code to support
the UPDATE statement simplified the operator cleanups.
Change slightly confusing local field name.
Use meaningful alias names on queries in refresh_by_match_merge().
Per concerns of raised by Andres Freund and comments and

The C99 and POSIX standards require strtod() to accept all these spellings
(case-insensitively): "inf", "+inf", "-inf", "infinity", "+infinity",
"-infinity". However, pre-C99 systems might accept only some or none of
these, and apparently Windows still doesn't accept "inf". To avoid
surprising cross-platform behavioral differences, manually check for each
of these spellings if strtod() fails. We were previously handling just
"infinity" and "-infinity" that way, but since C99 is most of the world
now, it seems likely that applications are expecting all these spellings
to work.
Per bug #8355 from Basil Peace. It turns out this fix won't actually
resolve his problem, because Python isn't being this careful; but that
doesn't mean we shouldn't be.

If a tuple is locked but not updated by a concurrent transaction,
HeapTupleSatisfiesDirty would return that transaction's Xid in xmax,
causing callers to wait on it, when it is not necessary (in fact, if the
other transaction had used a multixact instead of a plain Xid to mark
the tuple, HeapTupleSatisfiesDirty would have behave differently and
*not* returned the Xmax).
This bug was introduced in commit 3f7fbf85dc5b42, dated December 1998,
so it's almost 15 years old now. However, it's hard to see this
misbehave, because before we had NOWAIT the only consequence of this is
that transactions would wait for slightly more time than necessary; so
it's not surprising that this hasn't been reported yet.

My tweak of these error messages in commit c359a1b082 contained the
thinko that a query would always have rowMarks set for a query
containing a locking clause. Not so: when declaring a cursor, for
instance, rowMarks isn't set at the point we're checking, so we'd be
dereferencing a NULL pointer.
The fix is to pass the lock strength to the function raising the error,
instead of trying to reverse-engineer it. The result not only is more
robust, but it also seems cleaner overall.
Per report from Robert Haas.

We should really be reporting a useful error along with returning

We now use MVCC catalog scans, and, per discussion, have eliminated
all other remaining uses of SnapshotNow, so that we can now get rid of
it. This will break third-party code which is still using it, which
is intentional, as we want such code to be updated to do things the
new way.

I've been working with Nick Phillips on an issue he ran into when
trying to use threads with SSL client certificates. As it turns out,
the call in initialize_SSL() to SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
will modify our SSL_context without any protection from other threads
also calling that function or being at some other point and trying to
read from SSL_context.
To protect against this, I've written up the attached (based on an
initial patch from Nick and much subsequent discussion) which puts
locks around SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file() and all of the other
users of SSL_context which weren't already protected.

Back-patch to 9.0 where we started loading the cert directly instead of
using a callback.

As pointed out by Tom Lane, we can allow other users of the error
handler callbacks to provide their own memory context by adding
the context to use to ErrorData and using that instead of explicitly
using ErrorContext.
This then allows GetErrorContextStack() to be called from inside
exception handlers, so modify plpgsql to take advantage of that and
add an associated regression test for it.

We'd find the same match twice if it was of zero length and not immediately
adjacent to the previous match. replace_text_regexp() got similar cases
right, so adjust this search logic to match that. Note that even though
the regexp_split_to_xxx() functions share this code, they did not display
equivalent misbehavior, because the second match would be considered
degenerate and ignored.

Refactoring as part of commit 8ceb24568054232696dddc1166a8563bc78c900a
had the unintended effect of making REINDEX TABLE and REINDEX DATABASE
no longer validate constraints enforced by the indexes in question;
REINDEX INDEX still did so. Indexes marked invalid remained so, and
constraint violations arising from data corruption went undetected.
Back-patch to 9.0, like the causative commit.

plpgsql often just remembers SPI-result tuple tables in local variables,
and has no mechanism for freeing them if an ereport(ERROR) causes an escape
out of the execution function whose local variable it is. In the original
coding, that wasn't a problem because the tuple table would be cleaned up
when the function's SPI context went away during transaction abort.
However, once plpgsql grew the ability to trap exceptions, repeated
trapping of errors within a function could result in significant
intra-function-call memory leakage, as illustrated in bug #8279 from
Chad Wagner.
We could fix this locally in plpgsql with a bunch of PG_TRY/PG_CATCH
coding, but that would be tedious, probably slow, and prone to bugs of
omission; moreover it would do nothing for similar risks elsewhere.
What seems like a better plan is to make SPI itself responsible for
freeing tuple tables at subtransaction abort. This patch attacks the
problem that way, keeping a list of live tuple tables within each SPI
function context. Currently, such freeing is automatic for tuple tables
made within the failed subtransaction. We might later add a SPI call to
mark a tuple table as not to be freed this way, allowing callers to opt
out; but until someone exhibits a clear use-case for such behavior, it
doesn't seem worth bothering.
A very useful side-effect of this change is that SPI_freetuptable() can
now defend itself against bad calls, such as duplicate free requests;
this should make things more robust in many places. (In particular,
this reduces the risks involved if a third-party extension contains
now-redundant SPI_freetuptable() calls in error cleanup code.)
Even though the leakage problem is of long standing, it seems imprudent
to back-patch this into stable branches, since it does represent an API
semantics change for SPI users. We'll patch this in 9.3, but live with
the leakage in older branches.

This has a slight performance cost, but the only known consumers
of these functions, known at the SQL level as currtid and currtid2,
is pgsql-odbc; whose usage, we hope, is not sufficiently intensive
to make this a problem.
Per discussion.

Instead, use the active snapshot. Per Tom Lane, this function is
most interested in knowing the range of tuples our scan will actually
see.
This is another step towards full removal of SnapshotNow.

As GetErrorContextStack() borrowed setup and tear-down code from other
places, it was less than clear that it must only be called as a
top-level entry point into the error system and can't be called by an
exception handler (unlike the rest of the error system, which is set up
to be reentrant-safe).
Being called from an exception handler is outside the charter of
GetErrorContextStack(), so add a bit more protection against it,
improve the comments addressing why we have to set up an errordata
stack for this function at all, and add a few more regression tests.
Lack of clarity pointed out by Tom Lane; all bugs are mine.

This adds the ability to get the call stack as a string from within a
PL/PgSQL function, which can be handy for logging to a table, or to
include in a useful message to an end-user.

Previously one had to use slist_delete(), implying an additional scan of
the list, making this infrastructure considerably less efficient than
traditional Lists when deletion of element(s) in a long list is needed.
Modify the slist_foreach_modify() macro to support deleting the current
element in O(1) time, by keeping a "prev" pointer in addition to "cur"
and "next". Although this makes iteration with this macro a bit slower,
no real harm is done, since in any scenario where you're not going to
delete the current list element you might as well just use slist_foreach
instead. Improve the comments about when to use each macro.
Back-patch to 9.3 so that we'll have consistent semantics in all branches
that provide ilist.h. Note this is an ABI break for callers of
slist_foreach_modify().

In a boolean column that contains mostly nulls, ANALYZE might not find
enough non-null values to populate the most-common-values stats,
but it would still create a pg_statistic entry with stanullfrac set.
The logic in booltestsel() for this situation did the wrong thing for
"col IS NOT TRUE" and "col IS NOT FALSE" tests, forgetting that null
values would satisfy these tests (so that the true selectivity would
be close to one, not close to zero). Per bug #8274.
Fix by Andrew Gierth, some comment-smithing by me.

Use of this function has spread into the parser and rewriter, so it seems
like time to pull it out of the optimizer and put it into the more central
nodeFuncs module. This eliminates the need to #include optimizer/clauses.h
in most of the calling files, demonstrating that this function was indeed a
bit outside the normal code reference patterns.

After further thought about implicit coercions appearing in a joinaliasvars
list, I realized that they represent an additional reason why we might need
to reference the join output column directly instead of referencing an
underlying column. Consider SELECT x FROM t1 LEFT JOIN t2 USING (x) where
t1.x is of type date while t2.x is of type timestamptz. The merged output
variable is of type timestamptz, but it won't go to null when t2 does,
therefore neither t1.x nor t2.x is a valid substitute reference.
The code in get_variable() actually gets this case right, since it knows
it shouldn't look through a coercion, but we failed to ensure that the
unqualified output column name would be globally unique. To fix, modify
the code that trawls for a dangerous situation so that it actually scans
through an unnamed join's joinaliasvars list to see if there are any
non-simple-Var entries.
