      Previously we were not careful about this, reasoning that the FSM is
      not critical data anyway.  However, if it's sufficiently out of date,
      that can result in significant performance degradation after a standby
      has been promoted to primary.  The FSM will eventually be healed by
      updates, but we'd like it to be good sooner, so work harder at
      maintaining it during WAL replay.

      Don't record foreign-server user mappings as members of extensions
      (Tom Lane)

     <para>
      If <command>CREATE USER MAPPING</command> is executed in an extension
      script, an extension dependency was created for the user mapping,
      which is unexpected.  Roles can't be extension members, so user
      mappings shouldn't be either.

      Allow btree comparison functions to return <literal>INT_MIN</literal>
      (Tom Lane)
     </para>

     <para>
      Up to now, we've forbidden datatype-specific comparison functions from
      returning <literal>INT_MIN</literal>, which allows callers to invert
      the sort order just by negating the comparison result.  However, this
      was never safe for comparison functions that directly return the
      result of <function>memcmp()</function>, <function>strcmp()</function>,
      etc, as POSIX doesn't place any such restriction on those functions.
      At least some recent versions of <function>memcmp()</function> can
      return <literal>INT_MIN</literal>, causing incorrect sort ordering.
      Hence, we've removed this restriction.  Callers must now use
      the <literal>INVERT_COMPARE_RESULT()</literal> macro if they wish to
      invert the sort order.

      Avoid using potentially-under-aligned page buffers (Tom Lane)
     </para>

     <para>
      Invent new union types <type>PGAlignedBlock</type>
      and <type>PGAlignedXLogBlock</type>, and use these in place of plain
      char arrays, ensuring that the compiler can't place the buffer at a
      misaligned start address.  This fixes potential core dumps on
      alignment-picky platforms, and may improve performance even on
      platforms that allow misalignment.

     <para>
      Fix failure to reset <application>libpq</application>'s state fully
      between connection attempts (Tom Lane)
     </para>

     <para>
      An unprivileged user of <filename>dblink</filename>
      or <filename>postgres_fdw</filename> could bypass the checks intended
      to prevent use of server-side credentials, such as
      a <filename>~/.pgpass</filename> file owned by the operating-system
      user running the server.  Servers allowing peer authentication on
      local connections are particularly vulnerable.  Other attacks such
      as SQL injection into a <filename>postgres_fdw</filename> session
      are also possible.
      Attacking <filename>postgres_fdw</filename> in this way requires the
      ability to create a foreign server object with selected connection
      parameters, but any user with access to <filename>dblink</filename>
      could exploit the problem.
      In general, an attacker with the ability to select the connection
      parameters for a <application>libpq</application>-using application
      could cause mischief, though other plausible attack scenarios are
      harder to think of.
      Our thanks to Andrew Krasichkov for reporting this issue.

      (Dean Rasheed, Amit Langote)

     <para>
      Erroneous expansion of an updatable view could lead to crashes

      Furthermore, this bug could be leveraged to allow updates of columns
      that an attacking user lacks <literal>UPDATE</literal> privilege for,
      if that user has <literal>INSERT</literal> and <literal>UPDATE</literal>
      privileges for some other column(s) of the table.
      Any user could also use it for disclosure of server memory.

      Overoptimistic caching rules could prevent these updates from being

      Add a string freeing function
      to <application>ecpg</application>'s <filename>pgtypes</filename>
      library, so that cross-module memory management problems can be
      avoided on Windows (Takayuki Tsunakawa)
     </para>

     <para>
      On Windows, crashes can ensue if the <function>free</function> call
      for a given chunk of memory is not made from the same DLL
      that <function>malloc</function>'ed the memory.
      The <filename>pgtypes</filename> library sometimes returns strings
      that it expects the caller to free, making it impossible to follow
      this rule.  Add a <function>PGTYPESchar_free()</function> function
      that just wraps <function>free</function>, allowing applications
      to follow this rule.

      <function>pg_logfile_rotate()</function> function (Stephen Frost)
     </para>

     <para>
      <function>pg_logfile_rotate()</function> is a deprecated wrapper
      for the core function <function>pg_rotate_logfile()</function>.
      When that function was changed to rely on SQL privileges for access
      control rather than a hard-coded superuser
      check, <function>pg_logfile_rotate()</function> should have been
      updated as well, but the need for this was missed.  Hence,
      if <filename>adminpack</filename> is installed, any user could
      request a logfile rotation, creating a minor security issue.
     </para>

     <para>
      After installing this update, administrators should
      update <filename>adminpack</filename> by performing
      <literal>ALTER EXTENSION adminpack UPDATE</literal> in each
      database in which <filename>adminpack</filename> is installed.

      Fix incorrect volatility markings on a few built-in functions
      (Thomas Munro, Tom Lane)
     </para>

     <para>
      The functions
      <function>query_to_xml</function>,
      <function>cursor_to_xml</function>,
      <function>cursor_to_xmlschema</function>,
      <function>query_to_xmlschema</function>, and
      <function>query_to_xml_and_xmlschema</function>
      should be marked volatile because they execute user-supplied queries
      that might contain volatile operations.  They were not, leading to a
      risk of incorrect query optimization.  This has been repaired for new
      installations by correcting the initial catalog data, but existing
      installations will continue to contain the incorrect markings.
      Practical use of these functions seems to pose little hazard, but in
      case of trouble, it can be fixed by manually updating these
      functions' <structname>pg_proc</structname> entries, for example
      <literal>ALTER FUNCTION pg_catalog.query_to_xml(text, boolean,
      boolean, text) VOLATILE</literal>.  (Note that that will need to be
      done in each database of the installation.)  Another option is
      to <application>pg_upgrade</application> the database to a version
      containing the corrected initial data.

      Fix incorrect parallel-safety markings on a few built-in functions
      (Thomas Munro, Tom Lane)
     </para>

     <para>
      The functions
      <function>brin_summarize_new_values</function>,

      <function>binary_upgrade_create_empty_extension</function>, and
      <function>pg_import_system_collations</function>
      should be marked parallel-unsafe; some because they perform database
      modifications directly, and others because they execute user-supplied
      queries that might do so.  They were marked parallel-restricted
      instead, leading to a risk of unexpected query errors.  This has been
      repaired for new installations by correcting the initial catalog
      data, but existing installations will continue to contain the
      incorrect markings.  Practical use of these functions seems to pose
      little hazard unless <varname>force_parallel_mode</varname> is turned

      Avoid re-using TOAST value OIDs that match dead-but-not-yet-vacuumed
      TOAST entries (Pavan Deolasee)
     </para>

     <para>
      Once the OID counter has wrapped around, it's possible to assign a
      TOAST value whose OID matches a previously deleted entry in the same
      TOAST table.  If that entry were not yet vacuumed away, this resulted
      in <quote>unexpected chunk number 0 (expected 1) for toast
      value <replaceable>nnnnn</replaceable></quote> errors, which would
      persist until the dead entry was removed
      by <command>VACUUM</command>.  Fix by not selecting such OIDs when
      creating a new TOAST entry.

      Change <command>ANALYZE</command>'s algorithm for updating
      <structname>pg_class</structname>.<structfield>reltuples</structfield>
      (David Gould)
     </para>

     <para>
      Previously, pages not actually scanned by <command>ANALYZE</command>
      were assumed to retain their old tuple density.  In a large table
      where <command>ANALYZE</command> samples only a small fraction of the
      pages, this meant that the overall tuple density estimate could not
      change very much, so that <structfield>reltuples</structfield> would
      change nearly proportionally to changes in the table's physical size
      (<structfield>relpages</structfield>) regardless of what was actually
      happening in the table.  This has been observed to result
      in <structfield>reltuples</structfield> becoming so much larger than
      reality as to effectively shut off autovacuuming.  To fix, assume
      that <command>ANALYZE</command>'s sample is a statistically unbiased
      sample of the table (as it should be), and just extrapolate the
      density observed within those pages to the whole table.

     <para>
      This could happen if some tuples were locked (but not deleted).  While
      queries would still function correctly, vacuum would normally ignore
      such pages, with the long-term effect that the tuples were never
      frozen.  In recent releases this would eventually result in errors
      such as <quote>found multixact <replaceable>nnnnn</replaceable> from
      before relminmxid <replaceable>nnnnn</replaceable></quote>.

      Document how to configure installations and applications to guard
      against search-path-dependent trojan-horse attacks from other users
      (Noah Misch)
     </para>

     <para>
      Using a <varname>search_path</varname> setting that includes any
      schemas writable by a hostile user enables that user to capture
      control of queries and then run arbitrary SQL code with the
      permissions of the attacked user.  While it is possible to write
      queries that are proof against such hijacking, it is notationally
      tedious, and it's very easy to overlook holes.  Therefore, we now
      recommend configurations in which no untrusted schemas appear in
      one's search path.  Relevant documentation appears in
      <xref linkend="ddl-schemas-patterns"/> (for database administrators and users),
      <xref linkend="libpq-connect"/> (for application authors),
      <xref linkend="extend-extensions-style"/>  (for extension authors), and
      <xref linkend="sql-createfunction"/> (for authors
      of <literal>SECURITY DEFINER</literal> functions).

      themselves vulnerable to the type of hijacking described in the previous
      changelog entry; since these applications are commonly run by
      superusers, they present particularly attractive targets.  To make them
      secure whether or not the installation as a whole has been secured,
      modify them to include only the <structname>pg_catalog</structname>
      schema in their <varname>search_path</varname> settings.
      Autovacuum worker processes now do the same, as well.
     </para>

     <para>
      In cases where user-provided functions are indirectly executed by
      these programs &mdash; for example, user-provided functions in index
      expressions &mdash; the tighter <varname>search_path</varname> may
      result in errors, which will need to be corrected by adjusting those
      user-provided functions to not assume anything about what search path
      they are invoked under.  That has always been good practice, but now
      it will be necessary for correct behavior.

     </para>

     <para>
      An extended statistics object's schema was mislabeled in the dump's
      table of contents, possibly leading to the wrong results in a
      schema-selective restore.  Its ownership was not correctly restored,
      either.  Also, change the logic so that statistics objects are
      dumped/restored, or not, as independent objects rather than tying
      them to the dump/restore decision for the table they are on.  The
      original definition could not scale to the planned future extension to
      cross-table statistics.

      Ensure that all temporary files made

      directory's permissions would be tight enough to prevent problems;
      but there may be people using <application>pg_upgrade</application>

      passwords to unfriendly eyes.

      In databases using UTF8 encoding, ignore any XML declaration that

     <para>
      We always store XML strings in the database encoding, so allowing
      libxml to act on a declaration of another encoding gave wrong results.
      In encodings other than UTF8, we don't promise to support non-ASCII
      XML data anyway, so retain the previous behavior for bug compatibility.
      This change affects only <function>xpath()</function> and related
      functions; other XML code paths already acted this way.

      without failing, sending back a message showing that the server only
      understands 3.0.  This makes no difference at the moment, but
      back-patching this change should allow speedier introduction of future

      Avoid unsafe alignment assumptions when working

     <para>
      Typically, compilers assume that <type>__int128</type> variables are
      aligned on 16-byte boundaries, but our memory allocation
      infrastructure isn't prepared to guarantee that, and increasing the
      setting of MAXALIGN seems infeasible for multiple reasons.  Adjust the
      code to allow use of <type>__int128</type> only when we can tell the
      compiler to assume lesser alignment.  The only known symptom of this
      problem so far is crashes in some parallel aggregation queries.

      Fix sample <function>INSTR()</function> functions in the PL/pgSQL
      documentation (Yugo Nagata, Tom Lane)
     </para>

     <para>
      These functions are stated to
      be <trademark class="registered">Oracle</trademark> compatible, but
      they weren't exactly.  In particular, there was a discrepancy in the
      interpretation of a negative third parameter: Oracle thinks that a
      negative value indicates the last place where the target substring can
      begin, whereas our functions took it as the last place where the
      target can end.  Also, Oracle throws an error for a zero or negative
      fourth parameter, whereas our functions returned zero.
     </para>

     <para>
      The sample code has been adjusted to match Oracle's behavior more
      precisely.  Users who have copied this code into their applications
      may wish to update their copies.

      Fix <application>pg_dump</application> to make ACL (permissions),
      comment, and security label entries reliably identifiable in archive
      output formats (Tom Lane)
     </para>

     <para>
      The <quote>tag</quote> portion of an ACL archive entry was usually
      just the name of the associated object.  Make it start with the object
      type instead, bringing ACLs into line with the convention already used
      for comment and security label archive entries.  Also, fix the
      comment and security label entries for the whole database, if present,
      to make their tags start with <literal>DATABASE</literal> so that they
      also follow this convention.  This prevents false matches in code that
      tries to identify large-object-related entries by seeing if the tag
      starts with <literal>LARGE OBJECT</literal>.  That could have resulted
      in misclassifying entries as data rather than schema, with undesirable
      results in a schema-only or data-only dump.
     </para>

      operator to make it compatible with KNN search (Alexander Korotkov)
     </para>

     <para>
      The meaning of the second argument (the dimension selector) has been
      changed to make it predictable which value is selected even when
      dealing with cubes of varying dimensionalities.
     </para>

     <para>
      This is an incompatible change, but since the point of the operator
      was to be used in KNN searches, it seems rather useless as-is.
      After installing this update, any expression indexes or materialized
      views using this operator will need to be reindexed/refreshed.

      Ensure that <literal>INSERT ... ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE</literal> checks
      table permissions and RLS policies in all cases (Dean Rasheed)
     </para>

     <para>
      The update path of <literal>INSERT ... ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE</literal>
      requires <literal>SELECT</literal> permission on the columns of the
      arbiter index, but it failed to check for that in the case of an
      arbiter specified by constraint name.
      In addition, for a table with row level security enabled, it failed to
      check updated rows against the table's <literal>SELECT</literal>
      policies (regardless of how the arbiter index was specified).

      Fix crash due to rowtype mismatch

      (Michael Paquier, Tom Lane)
     </para>

     <para>
      These functions used the result rowtype specified in the <literal>FROM
      ... AS</literal> clause without checking that it matched the actual
      rowtype of the supplied tuple value.  If it didn't, that would usually
      result in a crash, though disclosure of server memory contents seems
      possible as well.

      Fix sample server-start scripts to become <literal>$PGUSER</literal>
      before opening <literal>$PGLOG</literal> (Noah Misch)
     </para>

     <para>
      Previously, the postmaster log file was opened while still running as
      root.  The database owner could therefore mount an attack against
      another system user by making <literal>$PGLOG</literal> be a symbolic
      link to some other file, which would then become corrupted by appending
      log messages.
     </para>

     <para>
      By default, these scripts are not installed anywhere.  Users who have
      made use of them will need to manually recopy them, or apply the same
      changes to their modified versions.  If the
      existing <literal>$PGLOG</literal> file is root-owned, it will need to
      be removed or renamed out of the way before restarting the server with
      the corrected script.

      Correctly detect hashability of range data types (Tom Lane)
     </para>

     <para>
      The planner mistakenly assumed that any range type could be hashed
      for use in hash joins or hash aggregation, but actually it must check
      whether the range's subtype has hash support.  This does not affect any
      of the built-in range types, since they're all hashable anyway.

      This causes a crash with the built-in ordered-set aggregates, and
      probably with user-written ones as well.  v11 and later will include

     <para>
      Change the implementation of set-returning functions appearing in
      a query's <literal>SELECT</literal> list (Andres Freund)
     </para>

     <para>
      Set-returning functions are now evaluated before evaluation of scalar
      expressions in the <literal>SELECT</literal> list, much as though they had
      been placed in a <literal>LATERAL FROM</literal>-clause item.  This allows
      saner semantics for cases where multiple set-returning functions are
      present.  If they return different numbers of rows, the shorter results
      are extended to match the longest result by adding nulls.  Previously
      the results were cycled until they all terminated at the same time,
      producing a number of rows equal to the least common multiple of the
      functions' periods.  In addition, set-returning functions are now
      disallowed within <literal>CASE</literal> and <literal>COALESCE</literal> constructs.

     <para>
      A sequence relation now stores only the fields that can be modified

      is <structfield>last_value</structfield>, <structfield>log_cnt</structfield>,
      and <structfield>is_called</structfield>.  Other sequence properties, such as
      the starting value and increment, are kept in a corresponding row of
      the <structname>pg_sequence</structname> catalog.
      <command>ALTER SEQUENCE</command> updates are now fully transactional,
      implying that the sequence is locked until commit.
      The <function>nextval()</function> and <function>setval()</function> functions
      remain nontransactional.
     </para>

     <para>
      The main incompatibility introduced by this change is that selecting
      from a sequence relation now returns only the three fields named
      above.  To obtain the sequence's other properties, applications must
      look into <structname>pg_sequence</structname>.  The new system
      view <link linkend="view-pg-sequences"><structname>pg_sequences</structname></link>
      can also be used for this purpose; it provides column names that are
      more compatible with existing code.

     <para>
      Also, sequences created for <literal>SERIAL</literal> columns now generate

      The size of the compiled-in DH parameters has been increased from
      1024 to 2048 bits, making DH key exchange more resistant to
      brute-force attacks.  However, some old SSL implementations, notably
      some revisions of Java Runtime Environment version 6, will not accept
      DH parameters longer than 1024 bits, and hence will not be able to
      connect over SSL.  If it's necessary to support such old clients, you
      can use custom 1024-bit DH parameters instead of the compiled-in
      defaults.  See <xref linkend="guc-ssl-dh-params-file"/>.

       <para>
        Previously, setting one of <application>psql</application>'s special variables
        to an invalid value silently resulted in the default behavior.
        <command>\set</command> on a special variable now fails if the proposed
        new value is invalid.  As a special exception, <command>\set</command>
        with an empty or omitted new value, on a boolean-valued special
        variable, still has the effect of setting the variable
        to <literal>on</literal>; but now it actually acquires that value rather
        than an empty string.  <command>\unset</command> on a special variable now
        explicitly sets the variable to its default value, which is also
        the value it acquires at startup.  In sum, a control variable now
        always has a displayable value that reflects
        what <application>psql</application> is actually doing.

        now examines that file to detect whether startup is complete.

       multi-line function call) are now uniformly indented to match the
       opening paren, even if that would result in code extending past the
