If there are no objects of a certain type, there is no need to do an
allocation for a set of DumpableObject items.  The previous coding did
an allocation of 1 byte instead as per the fallback of pg_malloc() in
the event of an allocation size of zero.  This assigns NULL instead for
a set of dumpable objects.

A similar rule already applied to findObjectByOid(), so this makes the
code more defensive as we would just fail with a pointer dereference
instead of attempting to use some incorrect data if a non-existing,
positive, OID is given by a caller of this function.

transformCreateStmt() adjusts the transformed statement's RangeVar
to specify the target schema explicitly, for the express reason
of making sure that auxiliary statements derived by parse
transformation operate on the right table.  But the refactoring
I did in commit 50289819 got this wrong and passed the untransformed

Backpatch-through: 13

The bgwriter, checkpointer, walwriter, and walreceiver processes
claimed to allow SIGQUIT "at all times".  In reality SIGQUIT
would get re-blocked during error recovery, because we didn't
update the actual signal mask immediately, so sigsetjmp() would
save and reinstate a mask that includes SIGQUIT.

This appears to be simply a coding oversight.  There's never a
good reason to hold off SIGQUIT in these processes, because it's
going to just call _exit(2) which should be safe enough, especially
since the postmaster is going to tear down shared memory afterwards.
Hence, stick in PG_SETMASK() calls to install the modified BlockSig
mask immediately.

Also try to improve the comments around sigsetjmp blocks.  Most of
them were just referencing postgres.c, which is misleading because
actually postgres.c manages the signals differently.

No back-patch, since there's no evidence that this is causing any
problems in the field.

Although 58c6fecc fixed the case for SIGQUIT, we were still calling
proc_exit() from signal handlers for SIGTERM and timeout failures in
ProcessStartupPacket.  Fortunately, at the point where that code runs,
we haven't yet connected to shared memory in any meaningful way, so
there is nothing we need to undo in shared memory.  This means it
should be safe to use _exit(1) here, ie, not run any atexit handlers
but also inform the postmaster that it's not a crash exit.

To make sure nobody breaks the "nothing to undo" expectation, add
a cross-check that no on-shmem-exit or before-shmem-exit handlers
have been registered yet when we finish using these signal handlers.

This change is simple enough that maybe it could be back-patched,
but I won't risk that right now.

we can pick to stream a transaction that has change messages for

Bring the signal handling for startup-packet collection into line
with the policy established in commits bedadc73 and 8e19a826,
namely don't risk running atexit callbacks when handling SIGQUIT.

Ideally, we'd not do so for SIGTERM or timeout interrupts either,
but that change seems a bit too risky for the back branches.
For now, just improve the comments in this area to describe the risk.

Also relocate where BackendInitialize re-disables these interrupts,
to minimize the code span where they're active.  This doesn't buy
a whole lot of safety, but it can't hurt.

In passing, rename startup_die() to remove confusion about whether
it is for the startup process.

Sometimes it happens that the visibility information for a tuple
becomes corrupted, either due to bugs in the database software or
external factors. Provide a function heap_force_kill() that can
be used to truncate such dead tuples to dead line pointers, and
a function heap_force_freeze() that can be used to overwrite the
visibility information in such a way that the tuple becomes
all-visible.

These functions are unsafe, in that you can easily use them to
corrupt a database that was not previously corrupted, and you can
use them to further corrupt an already-corrupted database or to
destroy data. The documentation accordingly cautions against
casual use. However, in some cases they permit recovery of data
that would otherwise be very difficult to recover, or to allow a
system to continue to function when it would otherwise be difficult
to do so.

Because we may want to add other functions for performing other
kinds of surgery in the future, the new contrib module is called
pg_surgery rather than something specific to these functions. I
proposed back-patching this so that it could be more easily used
by people running existing releases who are facing these kinds of
problems, but that proposal did not attract enough support, so
no back-patch for now.

Commit 8e19a826 changed the SIGQUIT handlers of almost all server

Partitioning tuple route code assumes that the partition chosen while
descending the partition hierarchy is always the correct one.  This is
true except when the partition is the default partition and another
partition has been added concurrently: the partition constraint changes
and we don't recheck it.  This can lead to tuples mistakenly being added
to the default partition that should have been rejected.

Fix by rechecking the default partition constraint while descending the
hierarchy.

Historically, cancel_before_shmem_exit() just silently did nothing
if the specified callback wasn't the top-of-stack.  The folly of
ignoring this case was exposed by the bugs fixed in 30364019 and
bab15004, so let's make it throw elog(ERROR) instead.

There is a decent argument to be made that PG_ENSURE_ERROR_CLEANUP
should use some separate infrastructure, so it wouldn't break if
something inside the guarded code decides to register a new
before_shmem_exit callback.  However, a survey of the surviving
uses of before_shmem_exit() and PG_ENSURE_ERROR_CLEANUP doesn't
show any plausible conflicts of that sort today, so for now we'll
forgo the extra complexity.  (It will almost certainly become
necessary if anyone ever wants to wrap PG_ENSURE_ERROR_CLEANUP
around arbitrary user-defined actions, though.)

This essentially reverts a micro-optimization I made years ago,
as part of the much larger commit d72f6c75.  It's doubtful
that there was any hard evidence for it being helpful even then,
and the case is even more dubious now that modern compilers
are so much smarter about inlining memset().

The proximate reason for undoing it is to get rid of the type punning
inherent in MemSet, for fear that that may cause problems now that
we're applying additional optimization switches to numeric.c.
At the very least this'll silence some warnings from a few old
buildfarm animals.

(It's probably past time for another look at whether MemSet is still
worth anything at all, but I do not propose to tackle that question
right now.)

The isolation test added by a6642b3a is proving to be unstable, as once
the first transaction holding a lock on the top-most partitioned table
or on a partition commits, the commit order of the follow-up DROP TABLE
and REINDEX could become reversed depending on the timing.

The only part of the test that could be entirely reliable is the one
using a SHARE lock, allowing REINDEX to commit first, but it is the
least interesting of the set.

Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/E1kFSBj-00062c-Mu@gemulon.postgresql.org

Until now, REINDEX was not able to work with partitioned tables and
indexes, forcing users to reindex partitions one by one.  This extends
REINDEX INDEX and REINDEX TABLE so as they can accept a partitioned
index and table in input, respectively, to reindex all the partitions
assigned to them with physical storage (foreign tables, partitioned
tables and indexes are then discarded).

This shares some logic with schema and database REINDEX as each
partition gets processed in its own transaction after building a list of
relations to work on.  This choice has the advantage to minimize the
number of invalid indexes to one partition with REINDEX CONCURRENTLY in
the event a cancellation or failure in-flight, as the only indexes
handled at once in a single REINDEX CONCURRENTLY loop are the ones from
the partition being working on.

Isolation tests are added to emulate some cases I bumped into while
developing this feature, particularly with the concurrent drop of a
leaf partition reindexed.  However, this is rather limited as LOCK would
cause REINDEX to block in the first transaction building the list of
partitions.

Per its multi-transaction nature, this new flavor cannot run in a
transaction block, similarly to REINDEX SCHEMA, SYSTEM and DATABASE.
