# Applied Patches
Michaël Paquier pushed:
- Improve psql tab completion for views, FDWs, sequences and transforms. The
following improvements are done: - Addition of type completion for ALTER
SEQUENCE AS. - Ignore ALTER for transforms, as the command is not supported. -
Addition of more completion for ALTER FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER. - Addition of
options related to columns in ALTER VIEW. This is a continuation of the work
done in 0cd6d3b. Author: Ken Kato Discussion:

- Centralize timestamp computation of control file on updates. This commit moves
the timestamp computation of the control file within the routine of
src/common/ in charge of updating the backend's control file, which is shared
by multiple frontend tools (pg_rewind, pg_checksums and pg_resetwal) and the
backend itself. This change has as direct effect to update the control file's
timestamp when writing the control file in pg_rewind and pg_checksums,
something that is helpful to keep track of control file updates for those
operations, something also tracked by the backend at startup within its logs.
This part is arguably a bug, as ControlFileData->time should be updated each
time a new version of the control file is written, but this is a behavior
change so no backpatch is done. Author: Amul Sul Reviewed-by: Nathan Bossart,

- Fix compatibility thinko for fstat() on standard streams in win32stat.c.
GetFinalPathNameByHandleA() cannot be used in compilation environments where
_WIN32_WINNT < 0x0600, meaning at least Windows XP used by some buildfarm
members under MinGW that Postgres still needs to support. This was reported as
a compilation warning by the buildfarm, but this is actually worse than the
report as the code would have not worked. Instead, this switches to
GetFileInformationByHandle() that is able to fail for standard streams and
succeed for redirected ones, which is what we are looking for herein the code
emulating fstat(). We also know that it is able to work in all the
environments still supported, thanks to the existing logic of win32stat.c.

- Move into separate file all the SQL queries used in pg_upgrade tests. The
existing pg_upgrade/test.sh and the buildfarm code have been holding the same
set of SQL queries when doing cross-version upgrade tests to adapt the objects
created by the regression tests before the upgrade (mostly, incompatible or
non-existing objects need to be dropped from the origin, perhaps re-created).
This moves all those SQL queries into a new, separate, file with a set of \if
clauses to handle the version checks depending on the old version of the
cluster to-be-upgraded. The long-term plan is to make the buildfarm code
re-use this new SQL file, so as committers are able to fix any compatibility
issues in the tests of pg_upgrade with a refresh of the core code, without
having to poke at the buildfarm client. Note that this is only able to handle
the main regression test suite, and that nothing is done yet for contrib
modules yet (these have more issues like their database names). A backpatch
down to 10 is done, adapting the version checks as this script needs to be
only backward-compatible, so as it becomes possible to clean up a maximum
amount of code within the buildfarm client. Author: Justin Pryzby, Michael

- pg_waldump: Emit stats summary when interrupted by SIGINT. Previously,
pg_waldump would not display its statistics summary if it got interrupted by
SIGINT (or say a simple Ctrl+C). It gains with this commit a signal handler
for SIGINT, trapping the signal to exit at the earliest convenience to allow a
display of the stats summary before exiting. This makes the reports more
interactive, similarly to strace -c. This new behavior makes the combination
of the options --stats and --follow much more useful, so as the user will get
a report for any invocation of pg_waldump in such a case. Information about
the LSN range of the stats computed is added as a header to the report
displayed. This implementation comes from a suggestion by Álvaro Herrera and
myself, following a complaint by the author of this patch about --stats and
--follow not being useful together originally. As documented, this is not
supported on Windows, though its support would be possible by catching the
terminal events associated to Ctrl+C, for example (this may require a more
centralized implementation, as other tools could benefit from a common API).

- Improve the description of various GUCs. This commit fixes a couple of
inconsistencies in the descriptions of some GUCs, while making their wording
more general regarding the units they rely on. For most of them, this removes
the use of terms like "N seconds" or "N bytes", which may not apply easily to
all the languages these strings are translated to (from my own experience,
this works in French and English, less in Japanese). Per debate between the
authors listed below. Author: Justin Pryzby, Michael Paquier Discussion:

- Fix corruption of toast indexes with REINDEX CONCURRENTLY. REINDEX
CONCURRENTLY run on a toast index or a toast relation could corrupt the target
indexes rebuilt, as a backend running in parallel that manipulates toast
values would directly release the lock on the toast relation when its local
operation is done, rather than releasing the lock once the transaction that
manipulated the toast values committed. The fix done here is simple: we now
hold a ROW EXCLUSIVE lock on the toast relation when saving or deleting a
toast value until the transaction working on them is committed, so as a
concurrent reindex happening in parallel would be able to wait for any
activity and see any new rows inserted (or deleted). An isolation test is
added to check after the case fixed here, which is a bit fancy by design as it
relies on allow_system_table_mods to rename the toast table and its index to
fixed names. This way, it is possible to reindex them directly without any
dependency on the OID of the underlying relation. Note that this could not
use a DO block either, as REINDEX CONCURRENTLY cannot be run in a transaction
block. The test is backpatched down to 13, where it is possible, thanks to
c4a7a39, to use allow_system_table_mods in a test suite. Reported-by: Alexey

- Improve parsing of options of CREATE/ALTER SUBSCRIPTION. This simplifies the
code so as it is not necessary anymore for the caller of
parse_subscription_options() to zero SubOpts, holding a bitmaps of the
provided options as well as the default/parsed option values. This also
simplifies some checks related to the options supported by a command when
checking for incompatibilities. While on it, the errors generated for
unsupported combinations with "slot_name = NONE" are reordered. This may
generate a different errors compared to the previous major versions, but users
have to go through all those errors to get a correct command in this case when
using incorrect values for options "enabled" and "create\slot", so at the end
the resulting command would remain the same. Author: Peter Smith Reviewed-by:

- Remove assertion for replication origins in PREPARE TRANSACTION. When using
replication origins, pg_replication_origin_xact_setup() is an optional choice
to be able to set a LSN and a timestamp to mark the origin, which would be
additionally added to WAL for transaction commits or aborts (including 2PC
transactions). An assertion in the code path of PREPARE TRANSACTION assumed
that this data should always be set, so it would trigger when using
replication origins without setting up an origin LSN. Some tests are added to
cover more this kind of scenario. Oversight in commit 1eb6d65. Per

- Adjust behavior of some env settings for the TAP tests of MSVC. edc2332 has
introduced in vcregress.pl some control on the environment variables LZ4, TAR
and GZIP_PROGRAM to allow any TAP tests to be able use those commands. This
makes the settings more consistent with src/Makefile.global.in, as the same
default gets used for Make and MSVC builds. Each parameter can be changed in
buildenv.pl, but as a default gets assigned after loading buldenv.pl, it is
not possible to unset any of these, and using an empty value would not work
with "||=" either. As some environments may not have a compatible command in
their PATH (tar coming from MinGW is an issue, for one), this could break
tests without an exit path to bypass any failing test. This commit changes
things so as the default values for LZ4, TAR and GZIP_PROGRAM are assigned
before loading buildenv.pl, not after. This way, we keep the same amount of
compatibility as a GNU build with the same defaults, and it becomes possible
to unset any of those values. While on it, this adds some documentation about
those three variables in the section dedicated to the TAP tests for MSVC. Per

- Add option -N/--no-sync to pg_upgrade. This is an option consistent with what
the other tools of src/bin/ (pg_checksums, pg_dump, pg_rewind and
pg_basebackup) provide which is useful for leveraging the I/O effort when
testing things. This is not to be used in a production environment. All the
regression tests of pg_upgrade are updated to use this new option. This
happens to cut at most a couple of seconds in environments constrained on I/O,
by avoiding a flush of data folder for the new cluster upgraded. Author:

Tom Lane pushed:
- Replace random(), pg_erand48(), etc with a better PRNG API and algorithm.
Standardize on xoroshiro128** as our basic PRNG algorithm, eliminating a bunch
of platform dependencies as well as fundamentally-obsolete PRNG code. In
addition, this API replacement will ease replacing the algorithm again in
future, should that become necessary. xoroshiro128** is a few percent slower
than the drand48 family, but it can produce full-width 64-bit random values
not only 48-bit, and it should be much more trustworthy. It's likely to be
noticeably faster than the platform's random(), depending on which platform
you are thinking about; and we can have non-global state vectors easily,
unlike with random(). It is not cryptographically strong, but neither are the
functions it replaces. Fabien Coelho, reviewed by Dean Rasheed, Aleksander

- Simplify declaring variables exported from libpgcommon and libpgport. This
reverts commits c2d1eea9e and 11b500072, as well as similar hacks elsewhere,
in favor of setting up the PGDLLIMPORT macro so that it can just be used
unconditionally. That can work because in frontend code, we need no marking
in either the defining or consuming files for a variable exported from these
libraries; and frontend code has no need to access variables exported from the
core backend, either. While at it, write some actual documentation about the

- Cope with cross-compiling when checking for a random-number source. Commit
16f96c74d neglected to consider the possibility of cross-compiling, causing
cross-compiles to fail at the configure stage unless you'd selected
--with-openssl. Since we're now more or less assuming that /dev/urandom is
available everywhere, it seems reasonable to assume that the cross-compile
target has it too, rather than failing. Per complaint from Vincas Dargis.

- psql: include intra-query "--" comments in what's sent to the server. psql's
lexer has historically deleted dash-dash (single-line) comments from what's
collected and sent to the server. This is inconsistent with what it does for
slash-star comments, and people have complained before that they wish such
comments would be captured in the server log. Undoing the decision completely
seems like too big a behavioral change, however. In particular, comments on
lines preceding the start of a query are generally not thought of as being
part of that query. What we can do to improve the situation is to capture
comments that are clearly *within* a query, that is after the first
non-whitespace, non-comment token but before the query's ending semicolon or
backslash command. This is a nearly trivial code change, and it affects only
a few regression test results. (It is tempting to try to apply the same rule
to slash-star comments. But it's hard to see how to do that without getting
strange history behavior for comments that cross lines, especially if the user
then starts a new query on the same line as the star-slash. In view of the
lack of complaints, let's leave that case alone.) Discussion:

- psql: treat "--" comments between queries as separate history entries. If
we've not yet collected any non-whitespace, non-comment token for a new query,
flush the current input line to history before reading another line. This
aligns psql's history behavior with the observation that lines containing only
comments are generally not thought of as being part of the next query. psql's
prompting behavior is consistent with that view, too, since it won't change
the prompt until you enter something that's neither whitespace nor a "--"
comment. Greg Nancarrow, simplified a bit by me Discussion:

- psql: initialize comment-begin setting to a useful value by default.
Readline's meta-# command is supposed to insert a comment marker at the start
of the current line. However, the default marker is "#" which is entirely
unhelpful for SQL. Set it to "-- " instead. (This setting can still be
overridden in one's ~/.inputrc file, so this change won't affect people who
have already taken steps to make the command useful.) Discussion:

- Avoid leaking memory during large-scale REASSIGN OWNED BY operations. The
various ALTER OWNER routines tend to leak memory in CurrentMemoryContext.
That's not a problem when they're only called once per command; but in this
usage where we might be touching many objects, it can amount to a serious
memory leak. Fix that by running each call in a short-lived context. (DROP
OWNED BY likely has a similar issue, except that you'll probably run out of
lock table space before noticing. REASSIGN is worth fixing since for most
non-table object types, it won't take any lock.) Back-patch to all supported
branches. Unfortunately, in the back branches this helps to only a limited
extent, since the sinval message queue bloats quite a lot in this usage before
commit 3aafc030a, consuming memory more or less comparable to what's actually
leaked. Still, it's clearly a leak with a simple fix, so we might as well fix
it. Justin Pryzby, per report from Guillaume Lelarge Discussion:

- Refactor pg_dump's tracking of object components to be dumped. Split the
DumpableObject.dump bitmask field into separate bitmasks tracking which
components are requested to be dumped (in the existing "dump" field) and which
components exist for the particular object (in the new "components" field).
This gets rid of some klugy and easily-broken logic that involved setting bits
and later clearing them. More importantly, it restores the originally
intended behavior that pg_dump's secondary data-gathering queries should not
be executed for objects we have no interest in dumping. That optimization got
broken when the dump flag was turned into a bitmask, because irrelevant bits
tended to remain set in many cases. Since the "components" field starts from
a minimal set of bits and is added onto as needed, ANDing it with "dump"
provides a reliable indicator of what we actually have to dump, without having
to complicate the logic that manages the request bits. This makes a
significant difference in the number of queries needed when, for example,
there are many functions in extensions. Discussion:

- Rethink pg_dump's handling of object ACLs. Throw away most of the existing
logic for this, as it was very inefficient thanks to expensive sub-selects
executed to collect ACL data that we very possibly would have no interest in
dumping. Reduce the ACL handling in the initial per-object-type queries to be
just collection of the catalog ACL fields, as it was originally. Fetch
pg_init_privs data separately in a single scan of that catalog, and do the
merging calculations on the client side. Remove the separate code path used
for pre-9.6 source servers; there is no good reason to treat them differently
from newer servers that happen to have empty pg_init_privs. Discussion:

- Postpone calls of unsafe server-side functions in pg_dump. Avoid calling
pg_get_partkeydef(), pg_get_expr(relpartbound), and regtypeout until we have
lock on the relevant tables. The existing coding is at serious risk of failure
if there are any concurrent DROP TABLE commands going on --- including drops
of other sessions' temp tables. Arguably this is a bug fix that should be
back-patched, but it's moderately invasive and we've not had all that many
complaints about such failures. Let's just put it in HEAD for now.

- Avoid per-object queries in performance-critical paths in pg_dump. Instead of
issuing a secondary data-collection query against each table to be dumped,
issue just one query, with a WHERE clause restricting it to be applied to only
the tables we intend to dump. Likewise for indexes, constraints, and triggers.
This greatly reduces the number of queries needed to dump a database
containing many tables. It might seem that WHERE clauses listing many target
OIDs could be inefficient, but at least on recent server versions this
provides a very substantial speedup. (In principle the same thing could be
done with other object types such as functions; but that would require
significant refactoring of pg_dump, so those will be tackled in a different
way in a following patch.) The new WHERE clauses depend on the unnest()
function, which is only present in 8.4 and above. We could implement them
differently for older servers, but there is an ongoing discussion that will
probably result in dropping pg_dump support for servers before 9.2, so that
seems like it'd be wasted work. For now, just bump the server version check
to require >= 8.4, without stopping to remove any of the code that's thereby
rendered dead. We'll mop that situation up soon. Patch by me, based on an
idea from Andres Freund. Discussion:

- Use PREPARE/EXECUTE for repetitive per-object queries in pg_dump. For objects
such as functions, pg_dump issues the same secondary data-collection query
against each object to be dumped. This can't readily be refactored to avoid
the repetitive queries, but we can PREPARE these queries to reduce planning
costs. This patch applies the idea to functions, aggregates, operators, and
data types. While it could be carried further, the remaining sorts of objects
aren't likely to appear in typical databases enough times to be worth worrying
over. Moreover, doing the PREPARE is likely to be a net loss if there aren't
at least some dozens of objects to apply the prepared query to. Discussion:

- Account for TOAST data while scheduling parallel dumps. In parallel mode,
pg_dump tries to order the table-data-dumping jobs with the largest tables
first. However, it was only consulting the pg_class.relpages value to
determine table size. This ignores TOAST data, and so we could make poor
scheduling decisions in cases where some large tables are mostly TOASTed data
while others have very little. To fix, add in the relpages value for the
TOAST table as well. This patch also fixes a potential integer-overflow issue
that could result in poor scheduling on machines where off_t is only 32 bits
wide. Such platforms are probably extinct in the wild, but we do still
nominally support them, so repair. Per complaint from Hans Buschmann.

- Create a new type category for "internal use" types. Historically we've put
type "char" into the S (String) typcategory, although calling it a string is a
stretch considering it can only store one byte. (In our actual usage, it's
more like an enum.) This choice now seems wrong in view of the special
heuristics that parse_func.c and parse_coerce.c have for TYPCATEGORY_STRING:
it's not a great idea for "char" to have those preferential casting behaviors.
Worse than that, recent patches inventing special-purpose types like
pg_node_tree have assigned typcategory S to those types, meaning they also get
preferential casting treatment that's designed on the assumption that they can
hold arbitrary text. To fix, invent a new category TYPCATEGORY_INTERNAL for
internal-use types, and assign that to all these types. I used code 'Z' for
lack of a better idea ('I' was already taken). This change breaks one query
in psql/describe.c, which now needs to explicitly cast a catalog "char" column
to text before concatenating it with an undecorated literal. Also, a test
case in contrib/citext now needs an explicit cast to convert citext to "char".
Since the point of this change is to not have "char" be a
surprisingly-available cast target, these breakages seem OK. Per report from

every other geometric type supports a distance-to-another-object-
of-the-same-type function. We can easily add this capability by cribbing from
poly_overlap() and path_distance(). It's possible that the (existing) test
case for this will show some numeric instability, but hopefully the buildfarm
will expose it if so. In passing, improve the documentation to try to explain

that's long been used in tuplesort.c: instead of physically swapping the data
in two heap entries, keep the value that's being sifted up or down in a local

shorter as well as faster. It's not clear that any current callers are really
time-critical enough to notice, but we might as well code heap maintenance the
same way everywhere. Ma Liangzhu and Tom Lane Discussion:

- Always use ReleaseTupleDesc after lookup_rowtype_tupdesc et al. The API spec
for lookup_rowtype_tupdesc previously said you could use either
ReleaseTupleDesc or DecrTupleDescRefCount. However, the latter choice means
the caller must be certain that the returned tupdesc is refcounted. I don't
recall right now whether that was always true when this spec was written, but
it's certainly not always true since we introduced shared record typcaches for
parallel workers. That means that callers using DecrTupleDescRefCount are
dependent on typcache behavior details that they probably shouldn't be.
Hence, change the API spec to say that you must call ReleaseTupleDesc, and fix
the half-dozen callers that weren't. AFAICT this is just future-proofing,
there's no live bug here. So no back-patch. Per gripe from Chapman Flack.

commit 5c056b0c2 so that we always generate RelabelType, not something else,
for a cast to unspecified typmod. Otherwise planner optimizations might not
happen. It appears we missed this point because the previous experiments were
done on type numeric: the parser undesirably generates a call on the numeric()

RelabelType, so that everything seems fine. It misbehaves for types that have
a non-optimized length coercion function, such as bpchar. Per report from

- Fix the public schema's permissions in a separate test script. In the wake of
commit b073c3ccd, it's necessary to grant create permissions on the public
schema to PUBLIC to get many of the core regression test scripts to pass.
That commit did so via the quick-n-dirty expedient of adding the GRANT to the
tablespace test, which runs first. This is problematic for single-machine
replication testing, though. The least painful way to run the regression
tests on such a setup is to skip the tablespace test, and that no longer
works. To fix, let's invent a separate "test_setup" script to run first, and
put the GRANT there. Revert b073c3ccd's changes to the tablespace.source
files. In the future it might be good to try to reduce coupling between the
various test scripts by having test_setup create widely-used objects, with the
goal that most of the scripts could run after having run only test_setup.
That's going to take some effort, so this commit just addresses my immediate
pain point. Discussion:

- vacuumlazy.c: Rename dead_tuples to dead_items. Commit 8523492d simplified
what it meant for an item to be considered "dead" to VACUUM: TIDs collected in
memory (in preparation for index vacuuming) must always come from LP_DEAD stub
line pointers in heap pages, found following pruning. This formalized the
idea that index vacuuming (and heap vacuuming) are optional processes. Unlike
pruning, they can be delayed indefinitely, without any risk of that violating
fundamental invariants. For example, leaving LP_DEAD items behind clearly
won't add to the risk of transaction ID wraparound. You can't have
transaction ID wraparound without transaction IDs. Renaming anything that
references DEAD tuples (tuples with storage) reinforces all this. Code
outside vacuumlazy.c continues to fudge the distinction between dead/deleted
tuples, and LP_DEAD items. This is necessary because autovacuum scheduling is
still mostly driven by "dead items/tuples" statistics. In the future we may
find it useful to replace this model with something more sophisticated, as a
step towards teaching autovacuum to perform more frequent vacuuming that
targeting individual indexes that happen to be more prone to becoming bloated
through version churn. In passing, simplify some function signatures that
deal with VACUUM's dead_items array. Author: Peter Geoghegan <pg(at)bowt(dot)ie>

- Standardize cleanup lock terminology. The term "super-exclusive lock" is a
synonym for "buffer cleanup lock" that first appeared in nbtree many years
ago. Standardize things by consistently using the term cleanup lock. This
finishes work started by commit 276db875. There is no good reason to have two
terms. But there is a good reason to only have one: to avoid confusion around
why VACUUM acquires a full cleanup lock (not just an ordinary exclusive lock)
in index AMs, during ambulkdelete calls. This has nothing to do with
protecting the physical index data structure itself. It is needed to
implement a locking protocol that ensures that TIDs pointing to the heap/table
structure cannot get marked for recycling by VACUUM before it is safe (which
is somewhat similar to how VACUUM uses cleanup locks during its first heap
pass). Note that it isn't strictly necessary for index AMs to implement this
locking protocol -- several index AMs use an MVCC snapshot as their sole
interlock to prevent unsafe TID recycling. In passing, update the nbtree
README. Cleanly separate discussion of the aforementioned index vacuuming
locking protocol from discussion of the "drop leaf page pin" optimization
added by commit 2ed5b87f. We now structure discussion of the latter by
describing how individual index scans may safely opt out of applying the
standard locking protocol (and so can avoid blocking progress by VACUUM).
Also document why the optimization is not safe to apply during nbtree
index-only scans. Author: Peter Geoghegan <pg(at)bowt(dot)ie> Discussion:

- Use test-specific temp path for keys during SSL test. The SSL and SCRAM TAP
test suites both use temporary copies of the supplied test keys in order to
ensure correct permissions. These were however copied inside the tree using
temporary filenames rather than a true temporary folder. Fix by using
tmp_check supplied by PostgreSQL::Test::Utils. Spotted by Tom Lane during

- Warning on SET of nonexisting setting with a prefix reserved by an extension.
An extension can already de facto reserve a GUC prefix using
EmitWarningsOnPlaceholders(). But this was only checked against settings that
exist at the time the extension is loaded (or the extension chooses to call
this). No diagnostic is given when a SET command later uses a nonexisting
setting with a custom prefix. With this change, EmitWarningsOnPlaceholders()
saves the prefixes it reserves in a list, and SET checks when it finds a
"placeholder" setting whether it belongs to a reserved prefix and issues a
warning in that case. Add a regression test that checks the patch using the
"plpgsql" registered prefix. Author: Florin Irion

- Simplify the general-purpose 64-bit integer parsing APIs. pg_strtouint64() is
a wrapper around strtoull/strtoul/_strtoui64, but it seems no longer necessary
to have this indirection. msvc/Solution.pm claims HAVE_STRTOULL, so the "MSVC
only" part seems unnecessary. Also, we have code in c.h to substitute
alternatives for strtoull() if not found, and that would appear to cover all
currently supported platforms, so having a further fallback in
pg_strtouint64() seems unnecessary. Therefore, we could remove
pg_strtouint64(), and use strtoull() directly in all call sites. However, it
seems useful to keep a separate notation for parsing exactly 64-bit integers,
matching the type definition int64/uint64. For that, add new macros
strtoi64() and strtou64() in c.h as thin wrappers around strtol()/strtoul() or
strtoll()/stroull(). This makes these functions available everywhere instead
of just in the server code, and it makes the function naming notably different
from the pg_strtointNN() functions in numutils.c, which have a different API.

the logs to help figure out what might have happened around that time. This
change attracted an above-average amount of dissent, because it means that a
server with default settings will produce some amount of log output even if
nothing has gone wrong. However, by my count, the mailing list discussion had
about twice as many people in favor of the change as opposed. The reasons for
believing that the extra log output is not an issue in practice are: (1) the
rate at which messages can be generated by this setting is bounded to one
every few minutes on a properly-configured system and (2) production systems
tend to have a lot more junk in the log from that due to failed connection
attempts, ERROR messages generated by application activity, and the like.

merits of the change rather than review of the patch. Discussion:

- Remove InitXLOGAccess(). It's not great that RecoveryInProgress() calls
InitXLOGAccess(), because a status inquiry function typically shouldn't have
the side effect of performing initializations. We could fix that by calling
InitXLOGAccess() from some other place, but instead, let's remove it
altogether. One thing InitXLogAccess() did is initialize wal_segment_size,
but it doesn't need to do that. In the postmaster, PostmasterMain() calls
LocalProcessControlFile(), and all child processes will inherit that value --
except in EXEC_BACKEND bulds, but then each backend runs SubPostmasterMain()
which also calls LocalProcessControlFile(). The other thing InitXLOGAccess()
did is update RedoRecPtr and doPageWrites, but that's not critical, because
all code that uses them will just retry if it turns out that they've changed.
The only difference is that most code will now see an initial value that is
definitely invalid instead of one that might have just been way out of date,
but that will only happen once per backend lifetime, so it shouldn't be a big
deal. Patch by me, reviewed by Nathan Bossart, Michael Paquier, Andres
Freund, Heikki Linnakangas, and Álvaro Herrera. Discussion:

- postgres_fdw: Fix unexpected reporting of empty message. pgfdw_report_error()
in postgres_fdw gets a message from PGresult or PGconn to report an error
received from a remote server. Previously if it could get a message from
neither of them, it reported empty message unexpectedly. The cause of this
issue was that pgfdw_report_error() didn't handle properly the case where no
message could be obtained and its local variable message_primary was set to
'\0'. This commit improves pgfdw_report_error() so that it reports the
message "could not obtain ..." when it gets no message and message_primary is
set to '\0'. This is the same behavior as when message_primary is NULL.
dblink_res_error() in dblink has the same issue, so this commit also improves
it in the same way. Back-patch to all supported branches. Author: Fujii

- postgres_fdw: Report warning when timeout expires while getting query result.
When aborting remote transaction or sending cancel request to a remote server,
postgres_fdw calls pgfdw_get_cleanup_result() to wait for the result of
transaction abort query or cancel request to arrive. It fails to get the
result if the timeout expires or a connection trouble happens. Previously
postgres_fdw reported no warning message even when the timeout expired or a
connection trouble happened in pgfdw_get_cleanup_result(). This could make the
troubleshooting harder when such an event occurred. This commit makes
pgfdw_get_cleanup_result() tell its caller what trouble (timeout or connection
error) occurred, on failure, and also makes its caller report the proper
warning message based on that information. Author: Fujii Masao Reviewed-by:

postgres_fdw.application_name can be any string of any length and contain even
non-ASCII characters. However when it's passed to and used as
application_name in a foreign server, it's truncated to less than NAMEDATALEN
characters and any characters other than printable ASCII ones in it will be
replaced with question marks. This commit adds these notes into the docs.

Thomas Munro pushed:
- Check for STATUS_DELETE_PENDING on Windows. 1. Update our open() wrapper to
check for NT's STATUS_DELETE_PENDING and translate it to Unix-like errors.
This is done with RtlGetLastNtStatus(), which is dynamically loaded from
ntdll. A new file win32ntdll.c centralizes lookup of NT functions, in case we
decide to add more in the future. 2. Remove non-working code that was trying
to do something similar for stat(), and just reuse the open() wrapper code.
As a side effect, stat() also gains resilience against "sharing violation"
errors. 3. Since stat() is used very early in process startup, remove the
requirement that the Win32 signal event has been created before
pgwin32_open_handle() is reached. Instead, teach pg_usleep() to fall back to
a non-interruptible sleep if reached before the signal event is available.
This could be back-patched, but for now it's in master only. The problem has
apparently been with us for a long time and generated only a few complaints.
