The bug fixed in commit 72eab84a would not have occurred if initdb
had a less surprising rule about which columns should be marked
NOT NULL by default.  Let's make that rule be strictly that the
column must be fixed-width and its predecessors must be fixed-width
and NOT NULL, removing the hacky and unsafe exceptions for oidvector
and int2vector.

Since we do still want all existing oidvector and int2vector columns
to be marked NOT NULL, we have to put BKI_FORCE_NOT_NULL labels on
them.  But making this less magic and more documented seems like a
good idea, even if it's a shade more verbose.

I didn't bump catversion since the initial catalog contents are
not actually changed by this patch.  Note however that the
contents of postgres.bki do change, and feeding an old copy of
that to a new backend will produce wrong results.

The executor checks for this error, and so does the bootstrap catalog
loader, but we never checked for it in retail catalog manipulations.
The folly of that has now been exposed, so let's add assertions
checking it.  Checking in CatalogTupleInsert[WithInfo] and
CatalogTupleUpdate[WithInfo] should be enough to cover this.

Back-patch to v10; the aforesaid functions didn't exist before that,
and it didn't seem worth adapting the patch to the oldest branches.
But given the risk of JIT crashes, I think we certainly need this
as far back as v11.

Pre-v13, we have to explicitly exclude pg_subscription.subslotname
and pg_subscription_rel.srsublsn from the checks, since they are
mismarked.  (Even if we change our mind about applying BKI_FORCE_NULL
in the branch tips, it doesn't seem wise to have assertions that
would fire in existing databases.)

Many situations where the offset is infinity were not handled sanely.
We should generally allow the val versus base +/- offset comparison to
proceed according to the normal rules of IEEE arithmetic; however, we
must do something special for the corner cases where base +/- offset
would produce NaN due to subtracting two like-signed infinities.
That corresponds to asking which values infinitely precede +inf or
infinitely follow -inf, which should certainly be true of any finite
value or of the opposite-signed infinity.  After some discussion it
seems that the best decision is to make it true of the same-signed
infinity as well, ie, just return constant TRUE if the calculation
would produce a NaN.

(We could write this with a bit less code by subtracting anyway,
and then checking for a NaN result.  However, I prefer this
formulation because it'll be easier to transpose into numeric.c.)

Although this seems like clearly a bug fix with respect to finite
values, it is less obviously correct for infinite values.  Between
that and the fact that the whole issue only arises for very strange
window specifications (e.g. RANGE BETWEEN 'inf' PRECEDING AND 'inf'
PRECEDING), I'll desist from back-patching.

Strengthen the LockBuffer() assertion that verifies BufferIsValid() by
making it verify BufferIsPinned() instead.  Do the same in nearby
related functions.

There is probably not much chance that anybody will try to lock a buffer
that is not already pinned, but we might as well make sure of that.

The code has always set this column to NULL when it's not valid,
but the catalog header's description failed to reflect that,
as did the SGML docs, as did some of the code.  To prevent future
coding errors of the same ilk, let's hide the field from C code
as though it were variable-length (which, in a sense, it is).

As with commit 72eab84a, we can only fix this cleanly in HEAD

Commit b9c130a1 failed to apply the publisher-to-subscriber column
mapping while checking which columns were updated.  Perhaps less
significantly, it didn't exclude dropped columns either.  This could
result in an incorrect updated-columns bitmap and thus wrong decisions
about whether to fire column-specific triggers on the subscriber while
applying updates.  In HEAD (since commit 9de77b54), it could also
result in accesses off the end of the colstatus array, as detected by
buildfarm member skink.  Fix the logic, and adjust 003_constraints.pl
so that the problem is exposed in unpatched code.

max_slot_wal_keep_size that was added in v13 and wal_keep_segments are
the GUC parameters to specify how much WAL files to retain for
the standby servers. While max_slot_wal_keep_size accepts the number of
bytes of WAL files, wal_keep_segments accepts the number of WAL files.
This difference of setting units between those similar parameters could
be confusing to users.

To alleviate this situation, this commit renames wal_keep_segments to
wal_keep_size, and make users specify the WAL size in it instead of
the number of WAL files.

There was also the idea to rename max_slot_wal_keep_size to
max_slot_wal_keep_segments, in the discussion. But we have been moving
away from measuring in segments, for example, checkpoint_segments was
replaced by max_wal_size. So we concluded to rename wal_keep_segments
to wal_keep_size.

The logical decoding infrastructure needs to know which top-level
transaction the subxact belongs to, in order to decode all the
changes. Until now that might be delayed until commit, due to the
caching (GPROC_MAX_CACHED_SUBXIDS), preventing features requiring
incremental decoding.

So we also write the assignment info into WAL immediately, as part

Valgrind builds with assertions enabled sometimes perform a
theoretically unsafe page access inside an assertion in
heapam_tuple_lock().  This happened when the eval-plan-qual isolation
test ran one of the permutations added by commit a2418f9e.

Avoid complaints from Valgrind by moving the assertion ever so slightly.
This is minor cleanup for commit 1e0dfd16, which added Valgrind buffer
access instrumentation.

No backpatch, since this only happens within an assertion, and seems
very unlikely to cause any real problems even with assert-enabled
builds.

Make PinBuffer() mark buffers as defined to Valgrind unconditionally,
including when the buffer header spinlock must be acquired.  Failure to
handle that case could lead to false positive reports from Valgrind.

This theoretically creates a risk that we'll mark buffers defined even
when external callers don't end up with a buffer pin.  That seems
perfectly acceptable, though, since in general we make no guarantees
about buffers that are unsafe to access being reliably marked as unsafe.

Oversight in commit 1e0dfd16, which added valgrind buffer access
instrumentation.

Due to the layout of this catalog, subslotname has to be explicitly
marked BKI_FORCE_NULL, else initdb will default to the assumption
that it's non-nullable.  Since, in fact, CREATE/ALTER SUBSCRIPTION
will store null values there, the existing marking is just wrong,
and has been since this catalog was invented.

We haven't noticed because not much in the system actually depends
on attnotnull being truthful.  However, JIT'ed tuple deconstruction
does depend on that in some cases, allowing crashes or wrong answers
in queries that inspect pg_subscription.  Commit 9de77b54 quite
accidentally exposed this on the buildfarm members that force JIT
activation.

Back-patch to v13.  The problem goes further back, but we cannot
force initdb in released branches, so some klugier solution will
be needed there.  Before working on that, push this simple fix
to try to get the buildfarm back to green.

This patch adds a "binary" option to CREATE/ALTER SUBSCRIPTION.
When that's set, the publisher will send data using the data type's
typsend function if any, rather than typoutput.  This is generally
faster, if slightly less robust.

As committed, we won't try to transfer user-defined array or composite
types in binary, for fear that type OIDs won't match at the subscriber.
This might be changed later, but it seems like fit material for a

add a new hash_mem_multiplier GUC is committed.  Rename a local variable
that happens to have been called hash_mem now to avoid confusion.

Teach Valgrind memcheck to maintain the "defined-ness" of each shared
buffer based on whether the backend holds at least one pin at the point
it is accessed by access method code.  Bugs like the one fixed by commit
b0229f26 can be detected using this new instrumentation.

Note that backends running with Valgrind naturally have their own
independent ideas about whether any given byte in shared memory is safe
or unsafe to access.  There is no risk that concurrent access by
multiple backends to the same shared memory will confuse Valgrind's
instrumentation, because everything already works at the process level
(or at the memory mapping level, if you prefer).

pg_dump produces custom-format archive files that lack data offsets
when it is unable to seek its output.  Up to now that's been a hazard
for pg_restore.  But if pg_restore is able to seek in the archive
file, there is no reason to throw up our hands when asked to restore
data blocks out of order.  Instead, whenever we are searching for a
data block, record the locations of the blocks we passed over (that
is, fill in the missing data-offset fields in our in-memory copy of
the TOC data).  Then, when we hit a case that requires going
backwards, we can just seek back.

Also track the furthest point that we've searched to, and seek back
to there when beginning a search for a new data block.  This avoids
possible O(N^2) time consumption, by ensuring that each data block
is examined at most twice.  (On Unix systems, that's at most twice
per parallel-restore job; but since Windows uses threads here, the
threads can share block location knowledge, reducing the amount of
duplicated work.)

We can also improve the code a bit by using fseeko() to skip over
data blocks during the search.

This is all of some use even in simple restores, but it's really
significant for parallel pg_restore.  In that case, we require
seekability of the input already, and we will very probably need
to do out-of-order restores.

Back-patch to v12, as this fixes a regression introduced by commit
548e5097.  Before that, parallel restore avoided requesting
out-of-order restores, so it would work on a data-offset-less
archive.  Now it will again.

Ideally this patch would include some test coverage, but there are
other open bugs that need to be fixed before we can extend our
coverage of parallel restore very much.  Plan to revisit that later.

We do not really need to track the file position by hand.  We were
already relying on ftello() whenever the archive file is seekable,
while if it's not seekable we don't need the file position info
anyway because we're not going to be able to re-write the TOC.

Moreover, that tracking was buggy since it failed to account for
the effects of fseeko().  Somewhat remarkably, that seems not to
have made for any live bugs up to now.  We could fix the oversights,
but it seems better to just get rid of the whole error-prone mess.

In itself this is merely code cleanup.  However, it's necessary
infrastructure for an upcoming bug-fix patch (because that code
*does* need valid file position after fseeko).  The bug fix
needs to go back as far as v12; hence, back-patch that far.

There is no advantage to attempting deduplication for a unique index
during CREATE INDEX, since there cannot possibly be any duplicates.
Doing so wastes cycles due to unnecessary copying.  Make sure that we
avoid it consistently.

We already avoided unique index deduplication in the case where there
were some spool2 tuples to merge.  That didn't account for the fact that
spool2 is removed early/unset in the common case where it has no tuples
that need to be merged (i.e. it failed to account for the "spool2 turns
out to be unnecessary" optimization in _bt_spools_heapscan()).

the Default file and the supposedly-matching entries in the *.txt

Windows has junction points which function as symbolic links for

which creates a junction point on Windows and a standard Unix type
symbolic link elsewhere.

The function TestLib::perl2host is also modified, first to use cygpath
where it's available (e.g. msys2) and second to allow it to succeed if
the gandparent directory exists but the parent does not.

Given these changes the only symlink tests that need to be skipped on

pg_test_fsync has always opened files using the text mode on Windows, as
this is the default mode used if not enforced by _setmode().

This fixes a failure when running pg_test_fsync down to 12 because
O_DSYNC and the text mode are not able to work together nicely.  We
fixed the handling of O_DSYNC in 12~ for the tool by switching to the
concurrent-safe version of fopen() in src/port/ with 0ba06e0b.  And
40cfe860, by enforcing the text mode for compatibility reasons if O_TEXT
or O_BINARY are not specified by the caller, broke pg_test_fsync.  For
all versions, this avoids any translation overhead, and pg_test_fsync
should test binary writes, so it is a gain in all cases.

Note that O_DSYNC is still not handled correctly in ~11, leading to
pg_test_fsync to show insanely high numbers for open_datasync() (using
this property it is easy to notice that the binary mode is much
faster).  This would require a backpatch of 0ba06e0b and 40cfe860, which
could potentially break existing applications, so this is left out.

There are no TAP tests for this tool yet, so I have checked all builds
manually using MSVC.  We could invent a new option to run a single
transaction instead of using a duration of 1s to make the tests a
maximum short, but this is left as future work.

When working with an online source cluster, pg_rewind gets a list of all
the files in the source data directory using a WITH RECURSIVE query,
returning a NULL result for a file's metadata if it gets removed between
the moment it is listed in a directory and the moment its metadata is
obtained with pg_stat_file() (say a recycled WAL segment).  The query
result was processed in such a way that for each tuple we checked only
that the first file's metadata was NULL.  This could have two
consequences, both resulting in a failure of the rewind:
- If the first tuple referred to a removed file, all files from the
source would be ignored.
- Any file actually missing would not be considered as such.

While on it, rework slightly the code so as no values are saved if we
know that a file is going to be skipped.
