Micro-optimize AllocSetFreeIndex() by reference to pg_bitutils code.
Use __builtin_clz() where available. Where it isn't, we can still win
a little by using the pg_leftmost_one_pos[] lookup table instead of
having a private table.
Also drop the initial right shift by ALLOC_MINBITS in favor of
subtracting ALLOC_MINBITS from the leftmost-one-pos result. This
is a win because the compiler can fold that adjustment into other
constants it'd have to add anyway, making the shift-removal free.
Also, we can explain this coding as an unrolled form of
pg_leftmost_one_pos32(), even though that's a bit ahistorical
since it long predates pg_bitutils.h.

Load relcache entries' partitioning data on-demand, not immediately.
Formerly the rd_partkey and rd_partdesc data structures were always
populated immediately when a relcache entry was built or rebuilt.
This patch changes things so that they are populated only when they
are first requested. (Hence, callers *must* now always use
RelationGetPartitionKey or RelationGetPartitionDesc; just fetching
the pointer directly is no longer acceptable.)
This seems to have some performance benefits, but the main reason to do
it is that it eliminates a recursive-reload failure that occurs if the
partkey or partdesc expressions contain any references to the relation's
rowtype (as discovered by Amit Langote). In retrospect, since loading
these data structures might result in execution of nearly-arbitrary code
via eval_const_expressions, it was a dumb idea to require that to happen
during relcache entry rebuild.
Also, fix things so that old copies of a relcache partition descriptor
will be dropped when the cache entry's refcount goes to zero. In the
previous coding it was possible for such copies to survive for the
lifetime of the session, as I'd complained of in a previous discussion.
(This management technique still isn't perfect, but it's better than
before.) Improve the commentary explaining how that works and why
it's safe to hand out direct pointers to these relcache substructures.
In passing, improve RelationBuildPartitionDesc by using the same
memory-context-parent-swap approach used by RelationBuildPartitionKey,
thereby making it less dependent on strong assumptions about what
partition_bounds_copy does. Avoid doing get_rel_relkind in the
critical section, too.
Patch by Amit Langote and Tom Lane; Robert Haas deserves some credit

Superuser can permit passwordless connections on postgres_fdw
Currently postgres_fdw doesn't permit a non-superuser to connect to a
foreign server without specifying a password, or to use an
authentication mechanism that doesn't use the password. This is to avoid
using the settings and identity of the user running Postgres.
However, this doesn't make sense for all authentication methods. We
therefore allow a superuser to set "password_required 'false'" for user
mappings for the postgres_fdw. The superuser must ensure that the
foreign server won't try to rely solely on the server identity (e.g.
trust, peer, ident) or use an authentication mechanism that relies on the
password settings (e.g. md5, scram-sha-256).
This feature is a prelude to better support for sslcert and sslkey
settings in user mappings.

nbtree needs to add an "items updated" field to xl_btree_vacuum, so we
might as well start being explicit about the number of items now.
(Besides, it doesn't seem like a good idea to leave the xl_btree_vacuum
struct without any fields; the C standard says that that's undefined.)
nbtree VACUUM no longer forces writing a WAL record for the last block

pin scan.

Fix minor problems with non-exclusive backup cleanup.
The previous coding imagined that it could call before_shmem_exit()
when a non-exclusive backup began and then remove the previously-added
handler by calling cancel_before_shmem_exit() when that backup
ended. However, this only works provided that nothing else in the
system has registered a before_shmem_exit() hook in the interim,
because cancel_before_shmem_exit() is documented to remove a callback
only if it is the latest callback registered. It also only works
if nothing can ERROR out between the time that sessionBackupState
is reset and the time that cancel_before_shmem_exit(), which doesn't
seem to be strictly true.
To fix, leave the handler installed for the lifetime of the session,
arrange to install it just once, and teach it to quietly do nothing if
there isn't a non-exclusive backup in process.
This is a bug, but for now I'm not going to back-patch, because the

Refactor attribute mappings used in logical tuple conversion
Tuple conversion support in tupconvert.c is able to convert rowtypes
between two relations, inner and outer, which are logically equivalent
but have a different ordering or even dropped columns (used mainly for
inheritance tree and partitions). This makes use of attribute mappings,
which are simple arrays made of AttrNumber elements with a length
matching the number of attributes of the outer relation. The length of
the attribute mapping has been treated as completely independent of the
mapping itself until now, making it easy to pass down an incorrect
mapping length.
This commit refactors the code related to attribute mappings and moves
it into an independent facility called attmap.c, extracted from
tupconvert.c. This merges the attribute mapping with its length,
avoiding to try to guess what is the length of a mapping to use as this
is computed once, when the map is built.
This will avoid mistakes like what has been fixed in
dc816e58, which has
used an incorrect mapping length by matching it with the number of
attributes of an inner relation (a child partition) instead of an outer
relation (a partitioned table).

Fix query cancellation handling in psql

with the logic in psql by mixing CancelRequested and cancel_pressed,
breaking for example \watch. The former would be switched to true if a
cancellation request has been attempted and that it actually succeeded,
and the latter tracks if a cancellation attempt has been done.
This commit brings back the code of psql to a state consistent to what
it was before
a4fd3aa, without giving up on the refactoring pieces
introduced. It should be actually possible to merge more both flags as
their concepts are close enough, however note that psql's --single-step
mode relies on cancel_pressed to be always set, so this requires more
careful analysis left for later.
While on it, fix the declarations of CancelRequested (in cancel.c) and
cancel_pressed (in psql) to be volatile sig_atomic_t. Previously,
both were declared as booleans, which should be fine on modern
platforms, but the C standard recommends the use of sig_atomic_t for

Fix "force_parallel_mode = regress" to work with ANALYZE + VERBOSE.
force_parallel_mode = regress is supposed to force use of a Gather
node without having any impact on EXPLAIN output. But it failed to
accomplish that if both ANALYZE and VERBOSE are given, because that
enables per-worker output data that you wouldn't see if the Gather
hadn't been inserted. Improve the logic so that we suppress the
per-worker data too.
This allows putting the new test case added by commit

We can also get rid of a kluge in subselect.sql, which previously

Prevent overly-aggressive collapsing of joins to RTE_RESULT relations.
The RTE_RESULT simplification logic added by commit
4be058fe9 had a
flaw: it would collapse out a RTE_RESULT that is due to compute a
PlaceHolderVar, and reassign the PHV to the parent join level, even if
another input relation of the join contained a lateral reference to
the PHV. That can't work because the PHV would be computed too late.
In practice it led to failures of internal sanity checks later in
planning (either assertion failures or errors such as "failed to
construct the join relation").
To fix, add code to check for the presence of such PHVs in relevant
portions of the query tree. Notably, this required refactoring
range_table_walker so that a caller could ask to walk individual RTEs
not the whole list. (It might be a good idea to refactor
range_table_mutator in the same way, if only to keep those functions
looking similar; but I didn't do so here as it wasn't necessary for
the bug fix.)
This exercise also taught me that find_dependent_phvs(), as it stood,
could only safely be used on the entire Query, not on subtrees.
Adjust its API to reflect that; which in passing allows it to have
a fast path for the common case of no PHVs anywhere.

Further adjust EXPLAIN's choices of table alias names.
This patch causes EXPLAIN to always assign a separate table alias to the
parent RTE of an append relation (inheritance set); before, such RTEs
were ignored if not actually scanned by the plan. Since the child RTEs
now always have that same alias to start with (cf. commit
55a1954da),
the net effect is that the parent RTE usually gets the alias used or
implied by the query text, and the children all get that alias with "_N"
appended. (The exception to "usually" is if there are duplicate aliases
in different subtrees of the original query; then some of those original
RTEs will also have "_N" appended.)
This results in more uniform output for partitioned-table plans than
we had before: the partitioned table itself gets the original alias,
and all child tables have aliases with "_N", rather than the previous
behavior where one of the children would get an alias without "_N".
The reason for giving the parent RTE an alias, even if it isn't scanned
by the plan, is that we now use the parent's alias to qualify Vars that
refer to an appendrel output column and appear above the Append or
MergeAppend that computes the appendrel. But below the append, Vars
refer to some one of the child relations, and are displayed that way.
This seems clearer than the old behavior where a Var that could carry
values from any child relation was displayed as if it referred to only
one of them.
While at it, change ruleutils.c so that the code paths used by EXPLAIN
deal in Plan trees not PlanState trees. This effectively reverts a
decision made in commit
1cc29fe7c, which seemed like a good idea at
the time to make ruleutils.c consistent with explain.c. However,
it's problematic because we'd really like to allow executor startup
pruning to remove all the children of an append node when possible,
leaving no child PlanState to resolve Vars against. (That's not done
here, but will be in the next patch.) This requires different handling
of subplans and initplans than before, but is otherwise a pretty
straightforward change.

Use only one thread to handle incoming signals on Windows.
Since its inception, our Windows signal emulation code has worked by
running a main signal thread that just watches for incoming signal
requests, and then spawns a new thread to handle each such request.
That design is meant for servers in which requests can take substantial
effort to process, and it's worth parallelizing the handling of
requests. But those assumptions are just bogus for our signal code.
It's not much more than pg_queue_signal(), which is cheap and can't
parallelize at all, plus we don't really expect lots of signals to
arrive at the same backend at once. More importantly, this approach
creates failure modes that we could do without: either inability to
spawn a new thread or inability to create a new pipe handle will risk
loss of signals. Hence, dispense with the separate per-signal threads
and just service each request in-line in the main signal thread. This
should be a bit faster (for the normal case of one signal at a time)
