Optimise numeric multiplication for short inputs.
When either input has a small number of digits, and the exact product
is requested, the speed of numeric multiplication can be increased
significantly by using a faster direct multiplication algorithm. This
works by fully computing each result digit in turn, starting with the
least significant, and propagating the carry up. This save cycles by
not requiring a temporary buffer to store digit products, not making
multiple passes over the digits of the longer input, and not requiring
separate carry-propagation passes.
For now, this is used when the shorter input has 1-4 NBASE digits (up
to 13-16 decimal digits), and the longer input is of any size, which
covers a lot of common real-world cases. Also, the relative benefit
increases as the size of the longer input increases.
Possible future work would be to try extending the technique to larger
numbers of digits in the shorter input.

Use xmlParseInNodeContext not xmlParseBalancedChunkMemory.
xmlParseInNodeContext has basically the same functionality with
a different API: we have to supply an xmlNode that's attached to a

The benefits are two:
* Early 2.13.x releases of libxml2 contain a bug that causes
xmlParseBalancedChunkMemory to return the wrong status value in some
cases. This breaks our regression tests. While that bug is now fixed
upstream and will probably never be seen in any production-oriented
distro, it is currently a problem on some more-bleeding-edge-friendly
platforms.
* xmlParseBalancedChunkMemory is considered to depend on libxml2's
semi-deprecated SAX1 APIs, and will go away when and if they do.
There may already be libxml2 builds out there that lack this function.
So there are both short- and long-term reasons to make this change.
While here, avoid allocating an xmlParserCtxt in DOCUMENT parse mode,
since that code path is not going to use it.

Remove check hooks for GUCs that contribute to MaxBackends.
Each of max_connections, max_worker_processes,
autovacuum_max_workers, and max_wal_senders has a GUC check hook
that verifies the sum of those GUCs does not exceed a hard-coded
limit (see the comment for MAX_BACKENDS in postmaster.h). In
general, the hooks effectively guard against egregious
misconfigurations.
However, this approach has some problems. Since these check hooks
are called as each GUC is assigned its user-specified value, only
one of the hooks will be called with all the relevant GUCs set. If
one or more of the user-specified values are less than the initial
values of the GUCs' underlying variables, false positives can
occur.
Furthermore, the error message emitted when one of the check hooks
fails is not tremendously helpful. For example, the command
$ pg_ctl -D . start -o "-c max_connections=262100 -c max_wal_senders=10000"
fails with the following error:
FATAL: invalid value for parameter "max_wal_senders": 10000
Fortunately, there is an extra copy of this check in
InitializeMaxBackends() that we can rely on, so this commit removes
the aforementioned GUC check hooks in favor of that one. It also
enhances the error message to clearly show the values of the
relevant GUCs and the hard-coded limit their sum may not exceed.
The downside of this change is that server startup progresses
further before failing due to such misconfigurations (thus taking
longer), but these failures are expected to be rare, so we don't
anticipate any real harm in practice.

Sadly, the pltcl_trigger.sql test script still has to suppress the
context reports, because they'd include trigger arguments which
contain relation OIDs per PL/Tcl's longstanding API for triggers.
I had to modify one existing test case to throw a different error
than before, because I found that Tcl 8.5 and Tcl 8.6 spell the
context message for the original error slightly differently.
We might have to make more adjustments in that vein once this

Support loading of injection points
This can be used to load an injection point and prewarm the
backend-level cache before running it, to avoid issues if the point
cannot be loaded due to restrictions in the code path where it would be
run, like a critical section where no memory allocation can happen
(load_external_function() can do allocations when expanding a library
name).
Tests can use a macro called INJECTION_POINT_LOAD() to load an injection
point. The test module injection_points gains some tests, and a SQL
function able to load an injection point.

multixacts requiring this facility.

Improve memory management and performance of tuplestore.c
Here we make tuplestore.c use a generation.c memory context rather than
allocating tuples into the CurrentMemoryContext, which primarily is the
ExecutorState or PortalHoldContext memory context. Not having a
dedicated context can cause the CurrentMemoryContext context to become
bloated when pfree'd chunks are not reused by future tuples. Using
generation speeds up users of tuplestore.c, such as the Materialize,
WindowAgg and CTE Scan executor nodes. The main reason for the speedup is
due to generation.c being more memory efficient than aset.c memory
contexts. Specifically, generation does not round sizes up to the next
power of 2 value. This both saves memory, allowing more tuples to fit in
work_mem, but also makes the memory usage more compact and fit on fewer
cachelines. One benchmark showed up to a 22% performance increase in a
query containing a Materialize node. Much higher gains are possible if
the memory reduction prevents tuplestore.c from spilling to disk. This is
especially true for WindowAgg nodes where improvements of several thousand
times are possible if the memory reductions made here prevent tuplestore
from spilling to disk.
Additionally, a generation.c memory context is much better suited for this
job as it works well with FIFO palloc/pfree patterns, which is exactly how
tuplestore.c uses it. Because of the way generation.c allocates memory,
tuples consecutively stored in tuplestores are much more likely to be
stored consecutively in memory. This allows the CPU's hardware prefetcher
to work more efficiently as it provides a more predictable pattern to
allow cachelines for the next tuple to be loaded from RAM in advance of
them being needed by the executor.
Using a dedicated memory context for storing tuples also allows us to more
efficiently clean up the memory used by the tuplestore as we can reset or
delete the context rather than looping over all stored tuples and
pfree'ing them one by one.
Also, remove a badly placed USEMEM call in readtup_heap(). The tuple
wasn't being allocated in the Tuplestorestate's context, so no need to
adjust the memory consumed by the tuplestore there.

Add simple codepoint redirections to unaccent.rules.

Some codepoints redirect to a single other codepoint, instead of doing

Per bug report #18362, which reported missing Ancient Greek characters.
Specifically, precomposed characters with oxia (from the polytonic

have to follow the extra hop to find out that they are composed with
an acute accent.
Besides those, the new rule also:

This old CPU architecture hasn't been produced in decades, and
whatever instances might still survive are surely too underpowered
for anyone to consider running Postgres on in production. We'd
nonetheless continued to carry code support for it (largely at my

like a good edge case for our spinlock infrastructure. However,
our last buildfarm animal of this type was retired last year, and
it seems quite unlikely that another will emerge. Without the ability
to run tests, the argument that this is useful test code fails to

Preserve CurrentMemoryContext across Start/CommitTransactionCommand.
Up to now, committing a transaction has caused CurrentMemoryContext to
get set to TopMemoryContext. Most callers did not pay any particular
heed to this, which is problematic because TopMemoryContext is a
long-lived context that never gets reset. If the caller assumes it
can leak memory because it's running in a limited-lifespan context,
that behavior translates into a session-lifespan memory leak.
The first-reported instance of this involved ProcessIncomingNotify,
which is called from the main processing loop that normally runs in
MessageContext. That outer-loop code assumes that whatever it
allocates will be cleaned up when we're done processing the current
client message --- but if we service a notify interrupt, then whatever
gets allocated before the next switch to MessageContext will be
permanently leaked in TopMemoryContext. sinval catchup interrupts
have a similar problem, and I strongly suspect that some places in
logical replication do too.
To fix this in a generic way, let's redefine the behavior as
"CommitTransactionCommand restores the memory context that was current
at entry to StartTransactionCommand". This clearly fixes the issue
for the notify and sinval cases, and it seems to match the mental
model that's in use in the logical replication code, to the extent
that anybody thought about it there at all.
For consistency, likewise make subtransaction exit restore the context
that was current at subtransaction start (rather than always selecting
the CurTransactionContext of the parent transaction level). This case
has less risk of resulting in a permanent leak than the outer-level
behavior has, but it would not meet the principle of least surprise
for some CommitTransactionCommand calls to restore the previous
context while others don't.
While we're here, also change xact.c so that we reset
TopTransactionContext at transaction exit and then re-use it in later
transactions, rather than dropping and recreating it in each cycle.
This probably doesn't save a lot given the context recycling mechanism
in aset.c, but it should save a little bit. Per suggestion from David
Rowley. (Parenthetically, the text in src/backend/utils/mmgr/README
implies that this is how I'd planned to implement it as far back as
commit
1aebc3618 --- but the code actually added in that commit just
drops and recreates it each time.)
This commit also cleans up a few places outside xact.c that were
needlessly making TopMemoryContext current, and thus risking more
leaks of the same kind. I don't think any of them represent
significant leak risks today, but let's deal with them while the
issue is top-of-mind.
Per bug #18512 from wizardbrony. Commit to HEAD only, as this change
seems to have some risk of breaking things for some callers. We'll
apply a narrower fix for the known-broken cases in the back branches.

SQL/JSON: Always coerce JsonExpr result at runtime
Instead of looking up casts at parse time for converting the result
of JsonPath* query functions to the specified or the default
RETURNING type, always perform the conversion at runtime using either
the target type's input function or the function
json_populate_type().
There are two motivations for this change:
1. json_populate_type() coerces to types with typmod such that any
string values that exceed length limit cause an error instead of
silent truncation, which is necessary to be standard-conforming.
2. It was possible to end up with a cast expression that doesn't
support soft handling of errors causing bugs in the of handling
ON ERROR clause.
JsonExpr.coercion_expr which would store the cast expression is no
longer necessary, so remove.
Bump catversion because stored rules change because of the above
removal.
