This makes it easier to do a web search for details of the policy that's been violated, as well as displaying the name that might be needed for a policy override. Various perlcritic settings changes are being discussed, but this one should be uncontroversial.
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.

An nbtree split point can be thought of as a point between two adjoining tuples from an imaginary version of the page being split that includes the incoming/new item (in addition to the items that really are on the page). These adjoining tuples are called the lastleft and firstright tuples. The variables that represent split points contained a field called firstright, which is an offset number of the first data item from the original page that goes on the new right page. The corresponding tuple from origpage was usually the same thing as the actual firstright tuple, but not always: the firstright tuple is sometimes the new/incoming item instead. This situation seems unnecessarily confusing. Make things clearer by renaming the origpage offset returned by _bt_findsplitloc() to "firstrightoff". We now have a firstright tuple and a firstrightoff offset number which are comparable to the newitem/lastleft tuples and the newitemoff/lastleftoff offset numbers respectively. Also make sure that we are consistent about how we describe nbtree page split point state. Push the responsibility for dealing with pg_upgrade'd !heapkeyspace indexes down to lower level code, relieving _bt_split() from dealing with it directly. This means that we always have a palloc'd left page high key on the leaf level, no matter what. This enables simplifying some of the code (and code comments) within _bt_split(). Finally, restructure the page split code to make it clearer why suffix truncation (which only takes place during leaf page splits) is completely different to the first data item truncation that takes place during internal page splits. Tuples are marked as having fewer attributes stored in both cases, and the firstright tuple is truncated in both cases, so it's easy to imagine somebody missing the distinction.
Now that warnings are enabled across the board, this code that tries to print an undef variable emits one. Silently printing the empty string achieves the previous behavior.

It seems like a good idea for nbtree's retail insert code to be absolutely consistent with nbtree's page split code for anything that naturally requires equivalent handling. Anything that concerns inserting newitem (which is handled as part of the page split atomic action when a page split is required) should work in exactly the same way. With that in mind, make _bt_insertonpg() handle 'cbuf' in a way that matches _bt_split().

Clearly it's not okay for nbtree to split a page that is the only page on its level, and then find that it has to split the parent one level up in turn. There is simply no code to handle the split_only_page case in the _bt_insertonpg() "newitem won't fit" branch (only the "newitem fits" branch handles split_only_page). Add a defensive assertion that will fail if a split_only_page call to _bt_insertonpg() somehow ends up splitting the target/parent page. I (pgeoghegan) believe that we don't need split_only_page handling for the "newitem won't fit" branch because anybody calling _bt_insertonpg() like this would have to hold a lock on the same one and only child page.

A comment from the Berkeley days incorrectly claimed that the page management code cares about the contents of the hole in the center of the page (at least in the case of the left half of an nbtree page split).

Spotted during post-commit review of the nbtree deduplication commit (commit 0d861bb).
…ebackup Since 0d8c9c1, pg_basebackup would generate an error if connected to a backend version older than 12 where backup manifests are not supported. Avoiding this error is possible by using the --no-manifest option. This error handling could be confusing for some users, where patching a backup script that interacts with multiple backend versions would cause the addition of --no-manifest to potentially not generate a backup manifest even for Postgres 13 and newer versions. As we want to encourage the use of backup manifests as much as possible, this commit silently disables manifests where not supported, instead of generating an error. While on it, rework a bit the code to make it more consistent with the surroundings when generating the BASE_BACKUP command.

It was previously thought that remove_useless_groupby_columns() needed to keep track of which constraints the generated plan depended upon, however, this is unnecessary. The confusion likely arose regarding this because of check_functional_grouping(), which does need to track the dependency to ensure VIEWs with columns which are functionally dependant on the GROUP BY remain so. For remove_useless_groupby_columns(), cached plans will just become invalidated when the primary key's underlying index is removed through the normal relcache invalidation code. Here we just remove the unneeded code which records the dependency and updates the comments. The previous comments claimed that we could not use UNIQUE constraints for the same optimization due to lack of a pg_constraint record for NOT NULL constraints (which are required because NULLs can be duplicated in a unique index). Since we don't actually need a pg_constraint record to handle the invalidation, it looks like we could add code to do this in the future. But not today. We're not really fixing any bug in the code here, this fix is just to set the record straight on UNIQUE constraints. This code was added back in 9.6, but due to lack of any bug, we'll not be backpatching this.

In a similar effort to f736e18 and 110d817, fixup various usages of string functions where a more appropriate function is available and more fit for purpose. These changes include: 1. Use cstring_to_text_with_len() instead of cstring_to_text() when working with a StringInfoData and the length can easily be obtained. 2. Use appendStringInfoString() instead of appendStringInfo() when no formatting is required. 3. Use pstrdup(...) instead of psprintf("%s", ...) 4. Use pstrdup(...) instead of psprintf(...) (with no formatting) 5. Use appendPQExpBufferChar() instead of appendPQExpBufferStr() when the length of the string being appended is 1. 6. appendStringInfoChar() instead of appendStringInfo() when no formatting is required and string is 1 char long. 7. Use appendPQExpBufferStr(b, .) instead of appendPQExpBuffer(b, "%s", .) 8. Don't use pstrdup when it's fine to just point to the string constant.

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.

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.

1. TruncateMultiXact() performs the SLRU truncations in a critical
section. Deleting the SLRU segments calls ForwardSyncRequest(), which
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:
