Fix corner-case failures

Return NULL rather than throwing an error when an invalid object OID
is provided. Some of these functions got that right already, but not
all. <function>has_column_privilege()</function> was additionally
capable of crashing on some platforms.

Update the free space map during WAL replay of page all-visible/frozen

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 However, if it's sufficiently out of date,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.

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.

Update the free space map during WAL replay of page all-visible/frozen

Fix incorrect expansion of tuples lacking recently-added columns

</para>
<para>
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 However, if it's sufficiently out of date,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.
This is known to lead to crashes in triggers on tables with
recently-added columns, and could have other symptoms as well.

Don't record foreign-server user mappings as members of extensions

Fix character-class checks to not fail on Windows for Unicode

</para>
<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.
This bug affected full-text-search operations, as well
as <filename>contrib/ltree</filename>
and <filename>contrib/pg_trgm</filename>.

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.

</para>
<para>
Adjust <application>configure</application> to add
an <option>-isysroot</option> switch to <varname>CPPFLAGS</varname>;
without this, PL/Perl and PL/Tcl fail to configure or build on macOS

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.

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.

Fix corner-case failures
in <function>has_<replaceable>foo</replaceable>_privilege()</function>
family of functions (Tom Lane)
</para>
<para>
Return NULL rather than throwing an error when an invalid object OID
is provided. Some of these functions got that right already, but not
all. <function>has_column_privilege()</function> was additionally
capable of crashing on some platforms.

Fix failure of <command>UPDATE/DELETE ... WHERE CURRENT OF ...</command>
after rewinding the referenced cursor (Tom Lane)
</para>
<para>
A cursor that scans multiple relations (particularly an inheritance
tree) could produce wrong behavior if rewound to an earlier relation.

<para>
Fix <function>EvalPlanQual</function> to handle conditionally-executed
InitPlans properly (Andrew Gierth, Tom Lane)
</para>
<para>
This resulted in hard-to-reproduce crashes or wrong answers in
concurrent updates, if they contained code such as an uncorrelated
sub-<literal>SELECT</literal> inside a <literal>CASE</literal>
construct.

Fix character-class checks to not fail on Windows for Unicode
characters above U+FFFF (Tom Lane, Kenji Uno)

Disallow pushing sub-<literal>SELECT</literal>s containing window
functions, <literal>LIMIT</literal>, or <literal>OFFSET</literal> to
parallel workers (Amit Kapila)
</para>
<para>
Such cases could result in inconsistent behavior due to different
workers getting different answers, as a result of indeterminacy
due to row-ordering variations.

Fix handling of commit-timestamp tracking during recovery
(Masahiko Sawasa, Michael Paquier)
</para>
<para>
If commit timestamp tracking has been turned on or off, recovery might

Randomize the <function>random()</function> seed in bootstrap and
standalone backends, and in <application>initdb</application>
(Noah Misch)
</para>
<para>
The main practical effect of this change is that it avoids a scenario
where <application>initdb</application> might mistakenly conclude that
POSIX shared memory is not available, due to name collisions caused by
always using the same random seed.

Avoid failure in a parallel worker when loading an extension that

<para>
Update the free space map during WAL replay of page all-visible/frozen
flag changes (Álvaro Herrera)
</para>
<para>
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.

<para>
Avoid premature release of parallel-query resources when query end or
tuple count limit is reached (Amit Kapila)
</para>
<para>
It's only okay to shut down the executor at this point if the caller
cannot demand backwards scan afterwards.

Don't run atexit callbacks when servicing <literal>SIGQUIT</literal>
(Heikki Linnakangas)
</para>

<para>
Don't record foreign-server user mappings as members of extensions
(Tom Lane)
</para>
<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.

Fix <application>psql</application>, as well as documentation
examples, to call <function>PQconsumeInput()</function> before
each <function>PQnotifies()</function> call (Tom Lane)

This avoids failures due to the new policy of running restores with
restrictive search path.

Enforce type <type>cube</type>'s dimension limit in
all <filename>contrib/cube</filename> functions (Andrey Borodin)
</para>
<para>
Previously, some cube-related functions could construct values that
would be rejected by <function>cube_in()</function>, leading to
dump/reload failures.

In <filename>contrib/postgres_fdw</filename>, don't try to ship a

Fix <filename>contrib/unaccent</filename>'s
<function>unaccent()</function> function to use
the <literal>unaccent</literal> text search dictionary that is in the
same schema as the function (Tom Lane)
</para>
<para>
Previously it tried to look up the dictionary using the search path,
which could fail if the search path has a restrictive value.

<para>
Fix build problems on macOS 10.14 (Mojave) (Tom Lane)
</para>
<para>
Adjust <application>configure</application> to add
an <option>-isysroot</option> switch to <varname>CPPFLAGS</varname>;
without this, PL/Perl and PL/Tcl fail to configure or build on macOS
10.14. The specific sysroot used can be overridden at configure time
or build time by setting the <varname>PG_SYSROOT</varname> variable in
the arguments of <application>configure</application>
or <application>make</application>.
</para>
<para>
It is now recommended that Perl-related extensions
write <literal>$(perl_includespec)</literal> rather
than <literal>-I$(perl_archlibexp)/CORE</literal> in their compiler
flags. The latter continues to work on most platforms, but not recent
macOS.
</para>
<para>
Also, it should no longer be necessary to
specify <option>--with-tclconfig</option> manually to get PL/Tcl to
build on recent macOS releases.
</para>

Fix MSVC build and regression-test scripts to work on recent Perl
versions (Andrew Dunstan)
</para>
<para>
Perl no longer includes the current directory in its search path
by default; work around that.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
On Windows, allow the regression tests to be run by an Administrator
account (Andrew Dunstan)
</para>
<para>
To do this safely, <application>pg_regress</application> now gives up
any such privileges at startup.

<para>
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.
</para>

<para>
Fix recursion hazard in shared-invalidation message processing
(Tom Lane)
</para>
<para>
This error could, for example, result in failure to access a system
catalog or index that had just been processed by <command>VACUUM
FULL</command>.
</para>
<para>
This change adds a new result code
for <function>LockAcquire</function>, which might possibly affect
external callers of that function, though only very unusual usage
patterns would have an issue with it. The API
of <function>LockAcquireExtended</function> is also changed.

Save and restore SPI's global variables
during <function>SPI_connect()</function>

</para>
<para>
This prevents possible interference when one SPI-using function calls
another.
</para>

<para>
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>

<para>
Make <filename>src/port/snprintf.c</filename> follow the C99
standard's definition of <function>snprintf()</function>'s result
value (Tom Lane)
</para>
<para>
On platforms where this code is used (mostly Windows), its pre-C99
behavior could lead to failure to detect buffer overrun, if the
calling code assumed C99 semantics.
