It seems that pgindent was not run after the error handling refactor in
commit a9e9a9f. This fixes that and
also addresses a few other things pgindent wanted to change in libpq.It seems that pgindent was not run after the error handling refactor in

checkExtensionMembership() set the DUMP_COMPONENT_SECLABEL and
DUMP_COMPONENT_POLICY flags for extension member objects, even though
we lack any infrastructure for tracking extensions' initial settings
of these properties.  This is not OK.  The result was that a dump
would always include commands to set these properties for extension
objects that have them, with at least three negative consequences:

1. The restoring user might not have privilege to set these properties
on these objects.

2. The properties might be incorrect/irrelevant for the version of the
extension that's installed in the destination database.

3. The dump itself might fail, in the case of RLS properties attached
to extension tables that the dumping user lacks privilege to LOCK.
(That's because we must get at least AccessShareLock to ensure that
we don't fail while trying to decompile the RLS expressions.)

When and if somebody cares to invent initial-state infrastructure for
extensions' RLS policies and security labels, we could think about
finding another way around problem #3.  But in the absence of such
infrastructure, this whole thing is just wrong and we shouldn't do it.

(Note: this applies only to ordinary dumps; binary-upgrade dumps
still dump and restore extension member objects separately, with
all properties.)

In combination with to_regtype, this allows converting a string to
the "canonicalized" form emitted by format_type.  That usage requires
parsing the string twice, which is slightly annoying but not really
too expensive.  We considered alternatives such as returning a record
type, but that way was notationally uglier than this, and possibly
less flexible.

Like to_regtype(), we'd rather that this return NULL for any bad
input, but the underlying type-parsing logic isn't yet capable of
not throwing syntax errors.  Adjust the documentation for both
functions to point that out.

In passing, fix up a couple of nearby entries in the System Catalog
Information Functions table that had not gotten the word about our
since-v13 convention for displaying function usage examples.

This essentially reverts commit 69eb643, which added a fast path
in Catalog::ParseData, but neglected to preserve the behavior of
adding a line_number field in each hash.  That makes it impossible
for genbki.pl to provide any localization of error reports, which is
bad enough; but actually the affected error reports failed entirely,
producing useless bleats like "use of undefined value in sprintf".

69eb643 claimed to get a 15% speedup, but I'm not sure I believe
that: the time to rebuild the bki files changes by less than 1% for
me.  In any case, making debugging of mistakes in .dat files more
difficult would not be justified by even an order of magnitude
speedup here; it's just not that big a chunk of the total build time.

Per report from David Wheeler.  Although it's also broken in v16,
I don't think this is worth a back-patch, since we're very unlikely
to touch the v16 catalog data again.

TIDStore is a data structure designed to efficiently store large sets
of TIDs. For TID storage, it employs a radix tree, where the key is
a block number, and the value is a bitmap representing offset
numbers. The TIDStore can be created on a DSA area and used by
multiple backend processes simultaneously.

There are potential future users such as tidbitmap.c, though it's very
likely the interface will need to evolve as we come to understand the
needs of different kinds of users. For example, we can support
updating the offset bitmap of existing values.

Currently, the TIDStore is not used for anything yet, aside from the
test code. But an upcoming patch will use it.

This includes a unit test module, in src/test/modules/test_tidstore.

This introduces the following SQL/JSON functions for querying JSON
data using jsonpath expressions:

JSON_EXISTS(), which can be used to apply a jsonpath expression to a
JSON value to check if it yields any values.

JSON_QUERY(), which can be used to to apply a jsonpath expression to
a JSON value to get a JSON object, an array, or a string.  There are
various options to control whether multi-value result uses array
wrappers and whether the singleton scalar strings are quoted or not.

JSON_VALUE(), which can be used to apply a jsonpath expression to a
JSON value to return a single scalar value, producing an error if it
multiple values are matched.

Both JSON_VALUE() and JSON_QUERY() functions have options for
handling EMPTY and ERROR conditions, which can be used to specify
the behavior when no values are matched and when an error occurs
during jsonpath evaluation, respectively.

The buildfarm animal parula has been sporadically failing in the
partition_prune test for the past week or so.  It appears like an
auto-vacuum or auto-analyze has run on one of the partitions of the "ab"
table, causing the plan to change.  This is unexpected as the table is
empty.

Here we install some telemetry to find out if this is the case.  This
also joins in pg_index to see if something has gone wrong with the index
which could result in the planner being unable to use that index.

We can revert this once we've figured out the cause of the plan
instability.

The SASL exchange callback returned state in to output variables:
done and success.  This refactors that logic by introducing a new
return variable of type SASLStatus which makes the code easier to
read and understand, and prepares for future SASL exchanges which
operate asynchronously.

This was extracted from a larger patchset to introduce OAuthBearer
authentication and authorization.

This refactors the SASL init flow to set password_needed on the two
SCRAM exchanges currently supported. The code already required this
but was set up in such a way that all SASL exchanges required using

example at hand being the proposed OAuthbearer exchange).

The old text claims that HOT completely removes old row versions.
It was unclear whether it just meant the tuples themselves, or the
tuples together with their line pointers. If it meant the former,
it was wrong because we can remove dead row versions even when no
HOT updates have occurred, so it's not describing a benefit of HOT.
If it meant the latter, it was wrong because HOT doesn't allow
reclaiming the root tuple's line pointer.

This section does seems like it's intended to be more of an
informal introduction to HOT than a precise technical description
of every detail of how it works, but we still don't want it to
say things that are just not true, so update the text enough
to avoid that.

This patch removes _jumbleRangeTblEntry() and instead adds per-field

custom code.  The pg_stat_statements test suite has some coverage of
this.  It gets rid of the switch on rtekind; this should be

Commit 61461a3 introduced new functions to libpq for cancelling
queries.  This replaces the usage of the old ones in postgres_fdw.

This is done by introducing a new libpqsrv_cancel helper function. This
function takes a timeout and can itself be interupted while it is
sending a cancel request instead of being blocked. This new function is
now also used by dblink.

Finally, it also adds some test coverage for the cancel support in
postgres_fdw.

1. TruncateMultiXact() performs the SLRU truncations in a critical

will try to compact the request queue if it's full
(CompactCheckpointerRequestQueue()). That in turn allocates memory,
which is not allowed in a critical section. Backtrace:

To fix, bail out in CompactCheckpointerRequestQueue() without doing
anything, if it's called in a critical section. That covers the above
call path, as well as any other similar cases where
RegisterSyncRequest might be called in a critical section.

2. After fixing that, another problem became apparent: Autovacuum
process doing that truncation can deadlock with the checkpointer
process. TruncateMultiXact() sets "MyProc->delayChkptFlags |=
DELAY_CHKPT_START". If the sync request queue is full and cannot be
compacted, the process will repeatedly sleep and retry, until there is
room in the queue. However, if the checkpointer is trying to start a
checkpoint at the same time, and is waiting for the DELAY_CHKPT_START
processes to finish, the queue will never shrink.

More concretely, the autovacuum process is stuck here:

and the checkpointer is stuck here:

    #1  0x00007fc9348fe353 in nanosleep () from /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6

To fix, add AbsorbSyncRequests() to the loops where the checkpointer
waits for DELAY_CHKPT_START or DELAY_CHKPT_COMPLETE operations to
finish.

Backpatch to v14. Before that, SLRU deletion didn't call
RegisterSyncRequest, which avoided this failure. I'm not sure if there
are other similar scenarios on older versions, but we haven't had
any such reports.
