- Generate pg_basebackup temporary slot name using backend pid.  Using the
  client pid can easily be non-unique when used on different hosts. Using the
  backend pid should be guaranteed unique, since the temporary slot gets removed
  when the client disconnects so it will be gone even if the pid is renewed.

Tom Lane pushed:

- More code review for get_qual_for_list().  Avoid trashing the input
  PartitionBoundSpec; while that might be safe for current callers, it's
  certainly trouble waiting to happen.  In the same vein, make sure that all of
  the result data structure is freshly palloc'd, rather than some of it being
  pointers into the input data structures (which we don't know the lifespans
  of).  Simplify the logic for tacking on IS NULL or IS NOT NULL conditions some
  more; commit 85c2b9a15 left a lot on the table there.  And rearrange the
  construction of the nodes into (what seems to me) a more logical order.  In
  passing, make sure that get_qual_for_range() also returns a freshly palloc'd
  structure, since there's no value in having that guarantee for only one kind
  of partitioning.  And improve some comments there.  Jeevan Ladhe, with further
  tweaking by me Discussion:

- Allow NumericOnly to be "+ FCONST".  The NumericOnly grammar production
  accepted ICONST, + ICONST, - ICONST, FCONST, and - FCONST, but for some reason
  not + FCONST.  This led to strange inconsistencies like regression=# set
  random_page_cost = +4; SET regression=# set random_page_cost = 4000000000; SET
  regression=# set random_page_cost = +4000000000; ERROR:  syntax error at or
  near "4000000000" (because 4000000000 is too large to be an ICONST).  While
  there's no actual functional reason to need to write a "+", if we allow it for
  integers it seems like we should allow it for numerics too.  It's been like
  that forever, so back-patch to all supported branches.  Discussion:

- Prevent running pg_resetwal/pg_resetxlog against wrong-version data dirs.
  pg_resetwal (formerly pg_resetxlog) doesn't insist on finding a matching
  version number in pg_control, and that seems like an important thing to
  preserve since recovering from corrupt pg_control is a prime reason to need to
  run it.  However, that means you can try to run it against a data directory of
  a different major version, which is at best useless and at worst disastrous.
  So as to provide some protection against that type of pilot error, inspect
  PG_VERSION at startup and refuse to do anything if it doesn't match.
  PG_VERSION is read-only after initdb, so it's unlikely to get corrupted, and
  even if it were corrupted it would be easy to fix by hand.  This hazard has
  been there all along, so back-patch to all supported branches.  Michael
  Paquier, with some kibitzing by me Discussion:

- Make edge-case behavior of jsonb_populate_record match json_populate_record.
  json_populate_record throws an error if asked to convert a JSON scalar or
  array into a composite type.  jsonb_populate_record was returning a record
  full of NULL fields instead.  It seems better to make it throw an error for
  this case as well.  Nikita Glukhov Discussion:

- Fix thinko in JsObjectSize() macro.  The macro gave the wrong answers for a
  JsObject with is_json == 0: it would return 1 if jsonb_cont == NULL, or if
  that wasn't NULL, it would return 1 for any non-zero size.  We could fix that,
  but the only use of this macro at present is in the JsObjectIsEmpty() macro,
  so it seems simpler and clearer to get rid of JsObjectSize() and put corrected
  logic into JsObjectIsEmpty().  Thinko in commit cf35346e8, so no need for
  back-patch.  Nikita Glukhov Discussion:

- Fix improper quoting of format_type_be() output.  Per our message style
  guidelines, error messages incorporating the results of format_type_be() and
  its siblings should not add quotes around those results, because those
  functions already add quotes at need.  Fix a few places that hadn't gotten
  that memo.
  https://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/d5cb3bab564e0927ffac7c8729eacf181a12dd40

- Code review focused on new node types added by partitioning support.  Fix
  failure to check that we got a plain Const from const-simplification of a
  coercion request.  This is the cause of bug #14666 from Tian Bing: there is an
  int4 to money cast, but it's only stable not immutable (because of dependence
  on lc_monetary), resulting in a FuncExpr that the code was miserably
  unequipped to deal with, or indeed even to notice that it was failing to deal
  with.  Add test cases around this coercion behavior.  In view of the above,
  sprinkle the code liberally with castNode() macros, in hope of catching the
  next such bug a bit sooner.  Also, change some functions that were randomly
  declared to take Node* to take more specific pointer types.  And change some
  struct fields that were declared Node* but could be given more specific types,
  allowing removal of assorted explicit casts.  Place PARTITION_MAX_KEYS check a
  bit closer to the code it's protecting.  Likewise check
  only-one-key-for-list-partitioning restriction in a less random place.  Avoid
  not-per-project-style usages like !strcmp(...).  Fix assorted failures to
  avoid scribbling on the input of parse transformation.  I'm not sure how
  necessary this is, but it's entirely silly for these functions to be expending
  cycles to avoid that and not getting it right.  Add guards against
  partitioning on system columns.  Put backend/nodes/ support code into an order
  that matches handling of these node types elsewhere.  Annotate the fact that
  somebody added location fields to PartitionBoundSpec and PartitionRangeDatum
  but forgot to handle them in outfuncs.c/readfuncs.c.  This is fairly harmless
  for production purposes (since readfuncs.c would just substitute -1 anyway)
  but it's still bogus.  It's not worth forcing a post-beta1 initdb just to fix
  this, but if we have another reason to force initdb before 10.0, we should go
  back and clean this up.  Contrariwise, somebody added location fields to
  PartitionElem and PartitionSpec but forgot to teach exprLocation() about them.
  Consolidate duplicative code in transformPartitionBound().  Improve a couple
  of error messages.  Improve assorted commentary.  Re-pgindent the files
  touched by this patch; this affects a few comment blocks that must have been
  added quite recently.  Report:

- Fix omission of locations in outfuncs/readfuncs partitioning node support.  We
  could have limped along without this for v10, which was my intention when I
  annotated the bug in commit 76a3df6e5.  But consensus is that it's better to
  fix it now and take the cost of a post-beta1 initdb (which is needed because
  these node types are stored in pg_class.relpartbound).  Since we're forcing
  initdb anyway, take the opportunity to make the node type identification
  strings match the node struct names, instead of being randomly different from
  them.  Discussion:

  convention about this if we don't enforce it.  Mark Dilger Discussion:

- Avoid -Wconversion warnings from direct use of GET_n_BYTES macros.  The
  GET/SET_n_BYTES macros are meant to be infrastructure for the
  DatumGetFoo/FooGetDatum macros, which include a cast to the intended target
  type.  Using them directly without a cast, as DatumGetFloat4 and friends
  previously did, can yield warnings when -Wconversion is on.  This is of little
  significance when building Postgres proper, because there are such a huge
  number of such warnings in the server that nobody would think -Wconversion is
  of any use.  But some extensions build with -Wconversion due to outside
  constraints.  Commit 14cca1bf8 did a disservice to those extensions by moving
  DatumGetFloat4 et al into postgres.h, where they can now cause warnings in
  extension builds.  To fix, use DatumGetInt32 and friends in place of the
  low-level macros.  This is arguably a bit cleaner anyway.  Chapman Flack

- Always use -fPIC, not -fpic, when building shared libraries with gcc.  On some
  platforms, -fpic fails for sufficiently large shared libraries.  We've mostly
  not hit that boundary yet, but there are some extensions such as Citus and
  pglogical where it's becoming a problem.  A bit of research suggests that the
  penalty for -fPIC is small, in the single-digit-percentage range --- and
  there's none at all on popular platforms such as x86_64.  So let's just
  default to -fPIC everywhere and provide one less thing for extension
  developers to worry about.  Per complaint from Christoph Berg.  Back-patch to
  all supported branches.  (I did not bother to touch the recently-removed
  Makefiles for sco and unixware in the back branches, though.  We'd have no way
  to test that it doesn't break anything on those platforms.) Discussion:

- Fix old corner-case logic error in final_cost_nestloop().  When costing a
  nestloop with stop-at-first-inner-match semantics, and a non-indexscan inner
  path, final_cost_nestloop() wants to charge the full scan cost of the inner
  rel at least once, with additional scans charged at inner_rescan_run_cost
  which might be less.  However the logic for doing this effectively assumed
  that outer_matched_rows is at least 1.  If it's zero, which is not unlikely
  for a small outer rel, we ended up charging inner_run_cost plus N times
  inner_rescan_run_cost, as much as double the correct charge for an outer rel
  with only one row that we're betting won't be matched.  (Unless the inner rel
  is materialized, in which case it has very small inner_rescan_run_cost and the
  cost is not so far off what it should have been.) The upshot of this was that
  the planner had a tendency to select plans that failed to make effective use
  of the stop-at-first-inner-match semantics, and that might have Materialize
  nodes in them even when the predicted number of executions of the Materialize
  subplan was only 1.  This was not so obvious before commit 9c7f5229a, because
  the case only arose in connection with semi/anti joins where there's not
  freedom to reverse the join order.  But with the addition of unique-inner
  joins, it could result in some fairly bad planning choices, as reported by
  Teodor Sigaev.  Indeed, some of the test cases added by that commit have plans
  that look dubious on closer inspection, and are changed by this patch.  Fix
  the logic to ensure that we don't charge for too many inner scans.  I chose to
  adjust it so that the full-freight scan cost is associated with an unmatched
  outer row if possible, not a matched one, since that seems like a better model
  of what would happen at runtime.  This is a longstanding bug, but given the
  lesser impact in back branches, and the lack of field complaints, I won't risk
  a back-patch.  Discussion:

  https://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/23886581b58c7e5d005d6346c0024a45801cc5a9

- Fix <> and pattern-NOT-match estimators to handle nulls correctly.  These
  estimators returned 1 minus the corresponding equality/match estimate, which
  is incorrect: we need to subtract off the fraction of nulls in the column,
  since those are neither equal nor not equal to the comparison value.  The
  error only becomes obvious if the nullfrac is large, but it could be very bad
  in a mostly-nulls column, as reported in bug #14676 from Marko Tiikkaja.  To
  fix the <> case, refactor eqsel() and neqsel() to call a common support
  routine, which can be made to account for nullfrac correctly.  The
  pattern-match cases were already factored that way, and it was simply an
  oversight that patternsel() wasn't subtracting off nullfrac.  neqjoinsel() has
  a similar problem, but since we're elsewhere discussing changing its behavior
  entirely, I left it alone for now.  This is a very longstanding bug, but I'm
  hesitant to back-patch a fix for it.  Given the lack of prior complaints, such
  cases must not come up often, so it's probably not worth the risk of
  destabilizing plans in stable branches.  Discussion:

- Add some missing backslash commands to psql's tab-completion knowledge.  \if
  and related commands were overlooked here, as were \dRp and \dRs from the
  logical-replication patch, as was \?.  While here, reformat the list to put
  each new first command letter on a separate line; perhaps that will limit the
  need to reflow the whole list when we add more commands in future.  Masahiko

- Remove dead variables.  Commit 512c7356b left a couple of variables unused
  except for being set.  My compiler didn't whine about this, but some buildfarm
  members did.
  https://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/5936d25f8101f2433e8242794d2275c7a05273bf

- Disallow CREATE INDEX if table is already in use in current session.  If we
  allow this, whatever outer command has the table open will not know about the
  new index and may fail to update it as needed, as shown in a report from
  Laurenz Albe.  We already had such a prohibition in place for ALTER TABLE, but
  the CREATE INDEX syntax missed the check.  Fixing it requires an API change
  for DefineIndex(), which conceivably would break third-party extensions if we
  were to back-patch it.  Given how long this problem has existed without being
  noticed, fixing it in the back branches doesn't seem worth that risk.

- #ifdef out assorted unused GEQO code.  I'd always assumed that
  backend/optimizer/geqo/'s remarkably poor showing on code coverage metrics was
  because we weren't exercising it much in the regression tests.  But it turns
  out that a good chunk of the problem is that there's a bunch of code that is
  physically unreachable (because the calls to it are #ifdef'd out in
  geqo_main.c) but is being built anyway.  Making the called code have #if
  guards similar to the calling code saves a couple of kilobytes of executable
  size and should make the coverage numbers more reflective of reality.  It's
  arguable that we should just delete all the unused recombination mechanisms
  altogether, but I didn't feel a need to go that far today.

Andres Freund pushed:

- Make ALTER SEQUENCE, including RESTART, fully transactional.  Previously the
  changes to the "data" part of the sequence, i.e. the one containing the
  current value, were not transactional, whereas the definition, including
  minimum and maximum value were.  That leads to odd behaviour if a schema
  change is rolled back, with the potential that out-of-bound sequence values
  can be returned.  To avoid the issue create a new relfilenode fork whenever
  ALTER SEQUENCE is executed, similar to how TRUNCATE ... RESTART IDENTITY
  already is already handled.  This commit also makes ALTER SEQUENCE RESTART
  transactional, as it seems to be too confusing to have some forms of ALTER
  SEQUENCE behave transactionally, some forms not.  This way setval() and
  nextval() are not transactional, but DDL is, which seems to make sense.  This
  commit also rolls back parts of the changes made in 3d092fe540 and f8dc1985f
  as they're now not needed anymore.  Author: Andres Freund Discussion:

  definition into pg_sequence.  Author: Andres Freund Discussion:

- Allow parallelism in COPY (query) TO ...;  Previously this was not allowed, as
  copy.c didn't set the CURSOR_OPT_PARALLEL_OK flag when planning the query.
  Set it.  While the lack of parallel query for COPY isn't strictly speaking a
  bug, it does prevent parallelism from being used in a facility commonly used
  to run long running queries. Thus backpatch to 9.6.  Author: Andres Freund
