The "auth-methods" <sect1> used to include descriptions of all our
authentication methods.  Commit 56811e57 promoted its child <sect2>'s
to <sect1>'s, which has advantages but also created some issues:
* The auth-methods page itself is essentially empty/useless.
* Links that pointed to "auth-methods" as a placeholder for all
auth methods were rendered a bit nonsensical.
* DocBook no longer provides a subsection table-of-contents here,
which formerly was a useful if terse summary of available auth methods.

To improve matters, add a handwritten list of all the auth methods.

Commit d986d4e8 renamed a variable
but neglected to update the corresponding comment.

Amit Langote

The previous coding imagined that it could call before_shmem_exit()
when a non-exclusive backup began and then remove the previously-added
handler by calling cancel_before_shmem_exit() when that backup
ended. However, this only works provided that nothing else in the
system has registered a before_shmem_exit() hook in the interim,
because cancel_before_shmem_exit() is documented to remove a callback
only if it is the latest callback registered. It also only works
if nothing can ERROR out between the time that sessionBackupState
is reset and the time that cancel_before_shmem_exit(), which doesn't
seem to be strictly true.

To fix, leave the handler installed for the lifetime of the session,
arrange to install it just once, and teach it to quietly do nothing if
there isn't a non-exclusive backup in process.

This is a bug, but for now I'm not going to back-patch, because the
consequences are minor. It's possible to cause a spurious warning
to be generated, but that doesn't really matter. It's also possible
to trigger an assertion failure, but production builds shouldn't
have assertions enabled.

Commit 7dbfea3c thought it could get
away with removing this, but Thomas Munro reports, on behalf of the
buildfarm, that it's still needed at least on Windows to avoid
compiler warnings.

The new function, heap_fetch_toast_slice, is shared between
toast_fetch_datum_slice and toast_fetch_datum, and does all the
work of scanning the TOAST table, fetching chunks, and storing
them into the space allocated for the result varlena.

As an incidental side effect, this allows toast_fetch_datum_slice
to perform the scan with only a single scankey if all chunks are
being fetched, which might have some tiny performance benefit.

Tuple conversion support in tupconvert.c is able to convert rowtypes
between two relations, inner and outer, which are logically equivalent
but have a different ordering or even dropped columns (used mainly for
inheritance tree and partitions).  This makes use of attribute mappings,
which are simple arrays made of AttrNumber elements with a length
matching the number of attributes of the outer relation.  The length of
the attribute mapping has been treated as completely independent of the
mapping itself until now, making it easy to pass down an incorrect
mapping length.

This commit refactors the code related to attribute mappings and moves
it into an independent facility called attmap.c, extracted from
tupconvert.c.  This merges the attribute mapping with its length,
avoiding to try to guess what is the length of a mapping to use as this
is computed once, when the map is built.

This will avoid mistakes like what has been fixed in dc816e58, which has
used an incorrect mapping length by matching it with the number of
attributes of an inner relation (a child partition) instead of an outer
relation (a partitioned table).

If CheckAttributeType() threw an error about the datatype of an
index expression column, it would report an empty column name,
which is pretty unhelpful and certainly not the intended behavior.
I (tgl) evidently broke this in commit cfc5008a, by not noticing
that the column's attname was used above where I'd placed the
assignment of it.

In HEAD and v12, this is trivially fixable by moving up the
assignment of attname.  Before v12 the code is a bit more messy;
to avoid doing substantial refactoring, I took the lazy way out
and just put in two copies of the assignment code.

Commit d5406dea used a slightly
novel, and wrong, approach to compute the length of the last
toast chunk. It worked fine unless the last chunk happened to
have the largest possible size.

Rework some of the checks for bad TOAST chunks to be a bit simpler
and easier to understand. These checks verify that (1) we get all
and only the chunk numbers we expect to see and (2) each chunk has
the expected size. However, the existing code was a bit hard to
understand, at least for me; try to make it clearer.

As part of that, have toast_fetch_datum_slice check the relationship
between endchunk and totalchunks only with an Assert() rather than
checking every chunk number against both values. There's no need to
check that relationship in production builds because it's not a
function of whether on-disk corruption is present; it's just a
question of whether the code does the right math.

Also, have toast_fetch_datum_slice() use ereport(ERROR) rather than
elog(ERROR). Commit fd6ec93b made
the two functions inconsistent with each other.

Rename assorted variables for better clarity and consistency, and
move assorted variables from function scope to the function's main
loop. Remove a few variables that are used only once entirely.

Some auxiliary processes, as well as the autovacuum launcher,

Try to abstract things a little better by moving it into

interrupts are handled, but hopefully it at least makes it

This Assert thought that an overflowed transaction can never get registered
for the group update.  But that is not true, because even when the number
of children for a transaction got reduced, the overflow flag is not
changed.  And, for group update, we only care about the current number of
children for a transaction that is being committed.

Based on comments by Andres Freund, remove a redundant Assert in
TransactionIdSetPageStatus as we already had a static Assert for the same
condition a few lines earlier.

Rename two function-style macros, removing the word "inner".  This makes
things more consistent.

The refactoring done in a4fd3aa7 for query cancellation has messed up
with the logic in psql by mixing CancelRequested and cancel_pressed,
breaking for example \watch.  The former would be switched to true if a
cancellation request has been attempted and that it actually succeeded,
and the latter tracks if a cancellation attempt has been done.

This commit brings back the code of psql to a state consistent to what
it was before a4fd3aa7, without giving up on the refactoring pieces
introduced.  It should be actually possible to merge more both flags as
their concepts are close enough, however note that psql's --single-step
mode relies on cancel_pressed to be always set, so this requires more
careful analysis left for later.

While on it, fix the declarations of CancelRequested (in cancel.c) and
cancel_pressed (in psql) to be volatile sig_atomic_t.  Previously,
both were declared as booleans, which should be fine on modern
platforms, but the C standard recommends the use of sig_atomic_t for
variables used in signal handlers.  Note that since its introduction in
a1792320, CancelRequested declaration was not volatile.

force_parallel_mode = regress is supposed to force use of a Gather
node without having any impact on EXPLAIN output.  But it failed to
accomplish that if both ANALYZE and VERBOSE are given, because that
enables per-worker output data that you wouldn't see if the Gather
hadn't been inserted.  Improve the logic so that we suppress the
per-worker data too.

This allows putting the new test case added by commit 5935917c
back into the originally intended form (cf. 776a2c88, 22864f6e).
We can also get rid of a kluge in subselect.sql, which previously
had to clean up after force_parallel_mode's failure to do what it
said on the tin.

Attempting to open a file fails with ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED if the file
is flagged for deletion but not yet actually gone (another in a long
list of reasons why Windows is broken, if you ask me).  This seems
likely to explain a lot of irreproducible failures we see in the
buildfarm.  This state generally persists for only a millisecond or so,
so just wait a bit and retry.  If it's a real permissions problem,
we'll eventually give up and report it as such.  If it's the pending
deletion case, we'll see file-not-found and report that after the
deletion completes, and the caller will treat that in an appropriate
way.

In passing, rejigger the existing retry logic for some other error
cases so that we don't uselessly wait an extra time when we're
not going to retry anymore.

Commit f14413b6 broke the build of
Perl-using modules on Windows.

Perl might have its own definitions of uid_t and gid_t, so we hide
ours, but then we can't use ours in our header files such as port.h
which don't see the Perl definition.

Hide our definition of getpeereid() on Windows in Perl-using modules,
using PLPERL_HAVE_UID_GID define.  That means we can't portably use
getpeeruid() is such modules right now, but there is no need anyway.

The getpeereid() uses have so far been protected by HAVE_UNIX_SOCKETS,
so they didn't ever care about Windows support.  But in anticipation
of Unix-domain socket support on Windows, that needs to be handled
differently.

Windows doesn't support getpeereid() at this time, so we use the
existing not-supported code path.  We let configure do its usual thing
of picking up the replacement from libpgport, instead of the custom
overrides that it was doing before.

But then Windows doesn't have struct passwd, so this patch sprinkles
some additional #ifdef WIN32 around to make it work.  This is similar
to existing code that deals with this issue.

The RTE_RESULT simplification logic added by commit 4be058fe had a
flaw: it would collapse out a RTE_RESULT that is due to compute a
PlaceHolderVar, and reassign the PHV to the parent join level, even if
another input relation of the join contained a lateral reference to
the PHV.  That can't work because the PHV would be computed too late.
In practice it led to failures of internal sanity checks later in
planning (either assertion failures or errors such as "failed to
construct the join relation").

To fix, add code to check for the presence of such PHVs in relevant
portions of the query tree.  Notably, this required refactoring
range_table_walker so that a caller could ask to walk individual RTEs
not the whole list.  (It might be a good idea to refactor
range_table_mutator in the same way, if only to keep those functions
looking similar; but I didn't do so here as it wasn't necessary for
the bug fix.)

This exercise also taught me that find_dependent_phvs(), as it stood,
could only safely be used on the entire Query, not on subtrees.
Adjust its API to reflect that; which in passing allows it to have
a fast path for the common case of no PHVs anywhere.
