A number of places were using appendStringInfo() when they could have been
using appendStringInfoString() instead.  While there's no functionality
change there, it's just more efficient to use appendStringInfoString()
when no formatting is required.  Likewise for some
appendStringInfoString() calls which were just appending a single char.
We can just use appendStringInfoChar() for that.

Additionally, many places were using appendPQExpBuffer() when they could
have used appendPQExpBufferStr(). Change those too.

While registering for postmaster exit events, we have to handle a couple
of edge cases where the postmaster is already gone.  Commit 815c2f09
missed one: EACCES must surely imply that PostmasterPid no longer

during logical decoding.

Prior to commit c55040cc we have no way of knowing the invalidations
before commit. So, while decoding we use to execute all the invalidations
at each command end as we had no way of knowing which invalidations
happened before that command. Due to this, transactions involving large
amounts of DDLs use to take more time and also lead to high CPU usage. But
now we know specific invalidations at each command end so we execute only
required invalidations.

It has been observed that decoding of a transaction containing truncation
of a table with 1000 partitions would be finished in 1s whereas before
this patch it used to take 4-5 minutes.

Maintaining 'es_result_relation_info' correctly at all times has become
cumbersome, especially with partitioning where each partition gets its
own result relation info. Having to set and reset it across arbitrary
operations has caused bugs in the past.

This changes all the places that used 'es_result_relation_info', to
receive the currently active ResultRelInfo via function parameters
instead.

FDWs that can perform an UPDATE/DELETE remotely using the "direct modify"
set of APIs need to access the ResultRelInfo of the target table. That's
currently available in EState.es_result_relation_info, but the next
commit will remove that field.

This commit adds a new resultRelation field in ForeignScan, to store the
target relation's RT index, and the corresponding ResultRelInfo in
ForeignScanState. The FDW's PlanDirectModify callback is expected to set
'resultRelation' along with 'operation'. The core code doesn't need them
for anything, they are for the convenience of FDW's Begin- and
IterateDirectModify callbacks.

Mostly already done, but there were some stragglers.

Apparently copy-and-pasted from nearby.

Our infinite_recurse() test to verify sane stack-overrun behavior
is affected by a bug of the Linux kernel on PPC64: it will get SIGSEGV
if it receives a signal when the stack depth is (a) over 1MB and
(b) within a few kB of filling the current physical stack allocation.
See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=205183.

Since this test is a bit time-consuming and we run it in parallel with
test scripts that do a lot of DDL, it can be expected to get an sinval
catchup interrupt at some point, leading to failure if the timing is
wrong.  This has caused more than 100 buildfarm failures over the
past year or so.

While a fix exists for the kernel bug, it might be years before that
propagates into all production kernels, particularly in some of the
older distros we have in the buildfarm.  For now, let's just back off
and not run this test on Linux PPC64; that loses nothing in test
coverage so far as our own code is concerned.

To do that, split this test into a new script infinite_recurse.sql
and skip the test when the platform name is powerpc64...-linux-gnu.

Back-patch to v12.  Branches before that have not been seen to get
this failure.  No doubt that's because the "errors" test was not
run in parallel with other tests before commit 798070ec, greatly
reducing the odds of an sinval catchup being necessary.

I also back-patched 3c855354 into v12, just so the new regression
script would look the same in all branches having it.

Instead of allocating all the ResultRelInfos upfront in one big array,
allocate them in ExecInitModifyTable(). es_result_relations is now an
array of ResultRelInfo pointers, rather than an array of structs, and it
is indexed by the RT index.

This simplifies things: we get rid of the separate concept of a "result
rel index", and don't need to set it in setrefs.c anymore. This also
allows follow-up optimizations (not included in this commit yet) to skip
initializing ResultRelInfos for target relations that were not needed at
runtime, and removal of the es_result_relation_info pointer.

The EState arrays of regular result rels and root result rels are merged
into one array. Similarly, the resultRelations and rootResultRelations
lists in PlannedStmt are merged into one. It's not actually clear to me
why they were kept separate in the first place, but now that the
es_result_relations array is indexed by RT index, it certainly seems
pointless.

The PlannedStmt->resultRelations list is now only needed for
ExecRelationIsTargetRelation(). One visible effect of this change is that
ExecRelationIsTargetRelation() will now return 'true' also for the
partition root, if a partitioned table is updated. That seems like a good
thing, although the function isn't used in core code, and I don't see any
reason for an FDW to call it on a partition root.

Commit 16fa9b2b broke the ability to reliably test GiST buffered builds,
because it caused sorted builds to be done instead if sortsupport is
available, regardless of any attempt to override that.  While a would-be
test case could try to work around that by choosing an opclass that has
no sortsupport function, coverage would be silently lost the moment
someone decides it'd be a good idea to add a sortsupport function.

Hence, rearrange the logic in gistbuild() so that if "buffering = on"
is specified in CREATE INDEX, we will use that method, sortsupport or no.

Also document the interaction between sorting and the buffering
parameter, as 16fa9b2b failed to do.

(Note that in fact we still lack any test coverage of buffered builds,
but this is a prerequisite to adding a non-fragile test.)

The prohibitValueChange code paths in set_config_option(), which
are executed whenever we re-read a PGC_POSTMASTER variable from
postgresql.conf, neglected to free anything before exiting.  Thus
we'd leak the proposed new value of a PGC_STRING variable, as noted
by BoChen in bug #16666.  For all variable types, if the check hook
creates an "extra" chunk, we'd also leak that.

These are malloc not palloc chunks, so there is no mechanism for
recovering the leaks before process exit.  Fortunately, the values
are typically not very large, meaning you'd have to go through an
awful lot of SIGHUP configuration-reload cycles to make the leakage
amount to anything.  Still, for a long-lived postmaster process it
could potentially be a problem.

Up to now, only ECONNRESET (and EPIPE, in most but not quite all places)
received special treatment in our error handling logic.  This patch
changes things so that related error codes such as ECONNABORTED are
also recognized as indicating that the connection's dead and unlikely
to come back.

We continue to think, however, that only ECONNRESET and EPIPE should be
reported as probable server crashes; the other cases indicate network
connectivity problems but prove little about the server's state.  Thus,
there's no change in the error message texts that are output for such
cases.  The key practical effect is that errcode_for_socket_access()
will report ERRCODE_CONNECTION_FAILURE rather than
ERRCODE_INTERNAL_ERROR for a network failure.  It's expected that this
will fix buildfarm member lorikeet's failures since commit 32a9c0bd,
as that seems to be due to not treating ECONNABORTED equivalently to
ECONNRESET.

The set of errnos treated this way now includes ECONNABORTED, EHOSTDOWN,
EHOSTUNREACH, ENETDOWN, ENETRESET, and ENETUNREACH.  Several of these
were second-class citizens in terms of their handling in places like
get_errno_symbol(), so upgrade the infrastructure where necessary.

As committed, this patch assumes that all these symbols are defined
everywhere.  POSIX specifies all of them except EHOSTDOWN, but that
seems to exist on all platforms of interest; we'll see what the
buildfarm says about that.

Probably this should be back-patched, but let's see what the buildfarm
thinks of it first.
