Refactor fallback to stderr for csvlog to handle better WIN32 service case
send_message_to_server_log() would force a redirection of a log entry to
stderr in some cases for csvlog, like the syslogger not being available
yet. If this happens, csvlog would fall back to stderr to log
some information rather than nothing. The code was organized so as
stderr is done before csvlog, with csvlog checking that stderr did not
happen yet with a reversed condition. With this code organization, it
could be possible to lose some messages if running Postgres as a service
on WIN32, as there is no usable stderr, and the handling of the
StringInfoData holding the message for stderr was rather confusing
because of that.
This commit moves the csvlog handling to be before stderr, as as we are
able to track down if it is necessary to log something to stderr. The
reduces the handling of stderr to be in a single code path, adding a
fallback to event logs for a WIN32 service. This also simplifies the
way we handle the StringInfoData for stderr, making easier the
integration of new file-based log destinations. I got to play with
services and event logs on Windows while checking this change.

Refactor per-destination file rotation in logging collector
stderr and csvlog have been using duplicated code when it came to the
rotation of their file by size, age or if forced by a user request
(pg_ctl logrotate or the SQL function pg_rotate_logfile). The main
difference between both is that stderr requires its file to always be
opened, so as it is possible to have a redirection route if the logging
collector is not ready yet to do its work if alternate destinations are
enabled.
Also, if csvlog gets disabled, we need to close properly its meta-data
stored in the logging collector (last file name for current_logfiles and
fd currently open for business). Except for those points, the code is
the same in terms of error handling and if a file should be created or
just continued.
This change makes the code simpler overall, and it will help in the
introduction of more file-based log destinations. This refactoring is
similar to the work done in
5b0b699. Most of the duplication originates
from
fd801f4.
Some of the TAP tests of pg_ctl check the case of a forced log rotation,
but this is somewhat limited as there is no coverage for
log_rotation_age or log_rotation_size (these may not be worth the extra
resources to run either), and no coverage for reload of log_destination
with different combinations of stderr and csvlog. I have tested all
those cases separately for this refactoring.

Fix corner-case loss of precision in numeric_power().
This fixes a loss of precision that occurs when the first input is
very close to 1, so that its logarithm is very small.
Formerly, during the initial low-precision calculation to estimate the
result weight, the logarithm was computed to a local rscale that was
capped to NUMERIC_MAX_DISPLAY_SCALE (1000). However, the base may be
as close as 1e-16383 to 1, hence its logarithm may be as small as
1e-16383, and so the local rscale needs to be allowed to exceed 16383,
otherwise all precision is lost, leading to a poor choice of rscale
for the full-precision calculation.
Fix this by removing the cap on the local rscale during the initial
low-precision calculation, as we already do in the full-precision
calculation. This doesn't change the fact that the initial calculation
is a low-precision approximation, computing the logarithm to around 8
significant digits, which is very fast, especially when the base is
very close to 1.

Fix snapshot builds during promotion of hot standby node with 2PC
Some specific logic is done at the end of recovery when involving 2PC
transactions:
1) Call RecoverPreparedTransactions(), to recover the state of 2PC
transactions into memory (re-acquire locks, etc.).
2) ShutdownRecoveryTransactionEnvironment(), to move back to normal
operations, mainly cleaning up recovery locks and KnownAssignedXids
(including any 2PC transaction tracked previously).
3) Switch XLogCtl->SharedRecoveryState to RECOVERY_STATE_DONE, which is
the tipping point for any process calling RecoveryInProgress() to check
if the cluster is still in recovery or not.
Any snapshot taken between steps 2) and 3) would be empty, causing any
transaction relying on a snapshot at this point to potentially corrupt
data as there could still be some 2PC transactions to track, with
RecentXmin moving backwards on successive calls to GetSnapshotData() in
the same transaction.
As SharedRecoveryState is the point to take into account to know if it
is safe to discard KnownAssignedXids, this commit moves step 2) after

Fix checking of query type in plpgsql's RETURN QUERY command.
Prior to v14, we insisted that the query in RETURN QUERY be of a type
that returns tuples. (For instance, INSERT RETURNING was allowed,
but not plain INSERT.) That happened indirectly because we opened a
cursor for the query, so spi.c checked SPI_is_cursor_plan(). As a
consequence, the error message wasn't terribly on-point, but at least
it was there.
Commit
2f48ede08 lost this detail. Instead, plain RETURN QUERY
insisted that the query be a SELECT (by checking for SPI_OK_SELECT)
while RETURN QUERY EXECUTE failed to check the query type at all.
Neither of these changes was intended.
The only convenient place to check this in the EXECUTE case is inside
_SPI_execute_plan, because we haven't done parse analysis until then.
So we need to pass down a flag saying whether to enforce that the
query returns tuples. Fortunately, we can squeeze another boolean
into struct SPIExecuteOptions without an ABI break, since there's
padding space there. (It's unlikely that any extensions would
already be using this new struct, but preserving ABI in v14 seems
like a smart idea anyway.)

Update our mapping of Windows time zone names using CLDR info.
This corrects a bunch of entries in win32_tzmap[], and adds a few
new ones, based on the CLDR project's windowsZones.xml file.
Non-cosmetic changes fall into four main categories:
* Flat-out errors:
US/Aleutan doesn't exist
America/Salvador doesn't exist
Asia/Baku is wrong for Yerevan
Asia/Dhaka (Bangladesh) is wrong for Astana (Kazakhstan)
Europe/Bucharest is wrong for Chisinau
America/Mexico_City is wrong for Chetumal
America/Buenos_Aires is wrong for Cayenne
America/Caracas has its own zone, so poor fit for La Paz
US/Eastern is wrong for Haiti
US/Eastern is wrong for Indiana (East)
Asia/Karachi is wrong for Tashkent
Etc/UTC+12 doesn't exist
Signs of Etc/GMT zones were backwards
* Judgment calls:
(These changes follow CLDR's choices, except for the first one)
Use Europe/London for "Greenwich Standard Time", since that seems much
more likely than Africa/Casablanca to be what people will think that
zone name means. CLDR has Atlantic/Reykjavik here, but that's no better.
Asia/Shanghai seems a better fit than Hong Kong for "China Standard
Time".
Europe/Sarajevo is now a link to Belgrade, ie "Central Europe Standard
Time"; so use Warsaw for "Central European Standard Time".
America/Sao_Paulo seems more representative than Araguaina for
"E. South America Standard Time".
Africa/Johannesburg seems more representative than Harare for
"South Africa Standard Time".
* New Windows zone names:
"Israel Standard Time"
"Kaliningrad Standard Time"
"Russia Time Zone N" for various N
"Singapore Standard Time"
"South Sudan Standard Time"
"W. Central Africa Standard Time"
"West Bank Standard Time"
"Yukon Standard Time"
Some of these replace older spellings, but I kept the older spellings
too in case our code runs on a machine with the older data.
* Replace aliases (tzdb Links) with underlying city-named zones:
(This tracks tzdb's longstanding practice, and reduces inconsistency
with the rest of the entries, as well as with CLDR.)

Commit

snapshot would be popped at the end of the subtransaction, leaving

To fix, make sure the ActiveSnapshot stack entry is marked with
the same subtransaction nesting level as the associated Portal.
It's certainly safe to do so since we won't be here at all unless
the stack is empty; hence we can't create an out-of-order stack.
Let's also apply this logic in the case where PortalRunUtility
sets portalSnapshot, just to be sure that path can't cause similar

Fix WAL replay in presence of an incomplete record
Physical replication always ships WAL segment files to replicas once
they are complete. This is a problem if one WAL record is split across
a segment boundary and the primary server crashes before writing down
the segment with the next portion of the WAL record: WAL writing after
crash recovery would happily resume at the point where the broken record
started, overwriting that record ... but any standby or backup may have
already received a copy of that segment, and they are not rewinding.
This causes standbys to stop following the primary after the latter
crashes:
LOG: invalid contrecord length 7262 at A8/
D9FFFBC8
because the standby is still trying to read the continuation record
(contrecord) for the original long WAL record, but it is not there and
it will never be. A workaround is to stop the replica, delete the WAL
file, and restart it -- at which point a fresh copy is brought over from
the primary. But that's pretty labor intensive, and I bet many users
would just give up and re-clone the standby instead.
A fix for this problem was already attempted in commit
515e3d84a0b5, but
it only addressed the case for the scenario of WAL archiving, so
streaming replication would still be a problem (as well as other things
such as taking a filesystem-level backup while the server is down after
having crashed), and it had performance scalability problems too; so it
had to be reverted.
This commit fixes the problem using an approach suggested by Andres
Freund, whereby the initial portion(s) of the split-up WAL record are
kept, and a special type of WAL record is written where the contrecord
was lost, so that WAL replay in the replica knows to skip the broken
parts. With this approach, we can continue to stream/archive segment
files as soon as they are complete, and replay of the broken records
will proceed across the crash point without a hitch.
Because a new type of WAL record is added, users should be careful to
upgrade standbys first, primaries later. Otherwise they risk the standby
being unable to start if the primary happens to write such a record.
A new TAP test that exercises this is added, but the portability of it
is yet to be seen.
This has been wrong since the introduction of physical replication, so
backpatch all the way back. In stable branches, keep the new
XLogReaderState members at the end of the struct, to avoid an ABI
break.

Refactor output file handling when forking syslogger under EXEC_BACKEND
A forked logging collector in EXEC_BACKEND builds passes down file
descriptors (or HANDLEs in WIN32) through a command for files to be

this commit refactors the code with some wrapper routines for file
reopening after forking and fd grabbing when building the command for
the fork.
While on it, this simplifies a use of "long" in the code, introduced by
ab0ba6e to take care of a warning related to MinGW-W64 when mapping a
intptr_t to a printed value. "long" is 32-bit long on Windows, and
interoperability of Win32 and Win64 ensures that handles are always
32-bit significant, so we can just use "int" for the same result. This
also makes the new routines more symmetric.
This change makes easier the introduction of new log destinations in the
logging collector, and this is not the only piece of refactoring
planned. I have tested this change with EXEC_BACKEND on linux, macos,

Fixed by adding a memory context which gets reset after building each

Fix "single value strategy" index deletion issue.
It is not appropriate for deduplication to apply single value strategy
when triggered by a bottom-up index deletion pass. This wastes cycles
because later bottom-up deletion passes will overinterpret older
duplicate tuples that deduplication actually just skipped over "by
design". It also makes bottom-up deletion much less effective for low
cardinality indexes that happen to cross a meaningless "index has single
key value per leaf page" threshold.
To fix, slightly narrow the conditions under which deduplication's
single value strategy is considered. We already avoided the strategy
for a unique index, since our high level goal must just be to buy time
for VACUUM to run (not to buy space). We'll now also avoid it when we
just had a bottom-up pass that reported failure. The two cases share
the same high level goal, and already overlapped significantly, so this
approach is quite natural.

Fix misevaluation of STABLE parameters in CALL within plpgsql.
Before commit
84f5c2908, a STABLE function in a plpgsql CALL
statement's argument list would see an up-to-date snapshot,
because exec_stmt_call would push a new snapshot. I got rid of
that because the possibility of the snapshot disappearing within
COMMIT made it too hard to manage a snapshot across the CALL
statement. That's fine so far as the procedure itself goes,
but I forgot to think about the possibility of STABLE functions
within the CALL argument list. As things now stand, those'll
be executed with the Portal's snapshot as ActiveSnapshot,
keeping them from seeing updates more recent than Portal startup.
(VOLATILE functions don't have a problem because they take their
own snapshots; which indeed is also why the procedure itself
doesn't have a problem. There are no STABLE procedures.)
We can fix this by pushing a new snapshot transiently within
ExecuteCallStmt itself. Popping the snapshot before we get
into the procedure proper eliminates the management problem.

but it's no worse than what happened before

Introduce GUC shared_memory_size_in_huge_pages
This runtime-computed GUC shows the number of huge pages required
for the server's main shared memory area, taking advantage of the

0bd305e. This is useful for users to estimate
the amount of huge pages required for a server as it becomes possible to
do an estimation without having to start the server and potentially
allocate a large chunk of shared memory.
The number of huge pages is calculated based on the existing GUC
huge_page_size if set, or by using the system's default by looking at
/proc/meminfo on Linux. There is nothing new here as this commit reuses
the existing calculation methods, and just exposes this information
directly to the user. The routine calculating the huge page size is
refactored to limit the number of files with platform-specific flags.
This new GUC's name was the most popular choice based on the discussion
done. This is only supported on Linux.
I have taken the time to test the change on Linux, Windows and MacOS,
