This prevents a possible longjmp out of the signal handler if a timeout
or SIGINT occurs while something within the handler has transiently set
ImmediateInterruptOK. For safety we must hold off the timeout or cancel
error until we're back in mainline, or at least till we reach the end of
the signal handler when ImmediateInterruptOK was true at entry. This
syncs these functions with the logic now present in handle_sig_alarm.
AFAICT there is no live bug here in 9.0 and up, because I don't think we
currently can wait for any heavyweight lock inside these functions, and
there is no other code (except read-from-client) that will turn on
ImmediateInterruptOK. However, that was not true pre-9.0: in older
branches ProcessIncomingNotify might block trying to lock pg_listener, and
then a SIGINT could lead to undesirable control flow. It might be all
right anyway given the relatively narrow code ranges in which NOTIFY
interrupts are enabled, but for safety's sake I'm back-patching this.
Serious oversight in commit 16e1b7a1b7:
we should not allow an interrupt to take control away from mainline code
except when ImmediateInterruptOK is set. Just to be safe, let's adopt
the same save-clear-restore dance that's been used for many years in
HandleCatchupInterrupt and HandleNotifyInterrupt, so that nothing bad
happens if a timeout handler invokes code that tests or even manipulates
ImmediateInterruptOK.

WAL records of hint bit updates is useful to tools that want to examine
which pages have been modified. In particular, this is required to make
the pg_rewind tool safe (without checksums).
This can also be used to test how much extra WAL-logging would occur if
you enabled checksums, without actually enabling them (which you can't
currently do without re-initdb'ing).

We had coverage for functions returning setof a named composite type,
but not for anonymous records, which is a somewhat different code path.
In view of recent crash report from Sergey Konoplev, this seems worth
testing, though I doubt there's any deterministic bug here today.
Make the COPY test, which loads most of the large static tables used in
the tests, also explicitly ANALYZE those tables. This allows us to get
rid of various ad-hoc, and rather redundant, ANALYZE commands that had
gotten stuck into various test scripts over time to ensure we got
consistent plan choices. (We could have done a database-wide ANALYZE,
but that would cause stats to get attached to the small static tables
too, which results in plan changes compared to the historical behavior.
I'm not sure that's a good idea, so not going that far for now.)
Back-patch to 9.0, since 9.0 and 9.1 are currently sometimes failing
regression tests for lack of an "ANALYZE tenk1" in the subselect test.

When this reloption is set and wal_level=logical is configured,
we'll record the CIDs stamped by inserts, updates, and deletes to
the table just as we would for an actual catalog table. This will
allow logical decoding to use historical MVCC snapshots to access
such tables just as they access ordinary catalog tables.
Replication solutions built around the logical decoding machinery
will likely need to set this operation for their configuration
tables; it might also be needed by extensions which perform table
access in their output functions.
Andres Freund, reviewed by myself and others.
When wal_level=logical, we'll log columns from the old tuple as
configured by the REPLICA IDENTITY facility added in commit
07cacba983. This makes it possible
a properly-configured logical replication solution to correctly
follow table updates even if they change the chosen key columns,
or, with REPLICA IDENTITY FULL, even if the table has no key at
all. Note that updates which do not modify the replica identity
column won't log anything extra, making the choice of a good key
(i.e. one that will rarely be changed) important to performance
when wal_level=logical is configured.
Each insert, update, or delete to a catalog table will also log
the CMIN and/or CMAX values of stamped by the current transaction.
This is necessary because logical decoding will require access to
historical snapshots of the catalog in order to decode some data
types, and the CMIN/CMAX values that we may need in order to judge
row visibility may have been overwritten by the time we need them.

An expression such as WHERE (... x IN (SELECT ...) ...) IN (SELECT ...)

In 247c76a989, I added some code to do fine-grained checking of
MultiXact status of locking/updating transactions when traversing an
update chain. There was a thinko in that patch which would have the
traversing abort, that is return HeapTupleUpdated, when the other
transaction is a committed lock-only. In this case we should ignore it
and return success instead. Of course, in the case where there is a
committed update, HeapTupleUpdated is the correct return value.
A user-visible symptom of this bug is that in REPEATABLE READ and
SERIALIZABLE transaction isolation modes spurious serializability errors
can occur:
ERROR: could not serialize access due to concurrent update
In order for this to happen, there needs to be a tuple that's key-share-
locked and also updated, and the update must abort; a subsequent
transaction trying to acquire a new lock on that tuple would abort with
the above error. The reason is that the initial FOR KEY SHARE is seen
as committed by the new locking transaction, which triggers this bug.
(If the UPDATE commits, then the serialization error is correctly
reported.)
When running a query in READ COMMITTED mode, what happens is that the
locking is aborted by the HeapTupleUpdated return value, then
EvalPlanQual fetches the newest version of the tuple, which is then the
only version that gets locked. (The second time the tuple is checked
there is no misbehavior on the committed lock-only, because it's not
checked by the code that traverses update chains; so no bug.) Only the
newest version of the tuple is locked, not older ones, but this is
harmless.
The isolation test added by this commit illustrates the desired
behavior, including the proper serialization errors that get thrown.
Backpatch to 9.3.
Current OpenSSL code includes a BIO_clear_retry_flags() step in the
sock_write() function. Either we failed to copy the code correctly, or
they added this since we copied it. In any case, lack of the clear step
appears to be the cause of the server lockup after connection loss reported
in bug #8647 from Valentine Gogichashvili. Assume that this is correct
coding for all OpenSSL versions, and hence back-patch to all supported
branches.
Diagnosis and patch by Alexander Kukushkin.
HeapTupleSatisfiesUpdate can very easily "forget" tuple locks while
checking the contents of a multixact and finding it contains an aborted
update, by setting the HEAP_XMAX_INVALID bit. This would lead to
concurrent transactions not noticing any previous locks held by
transactions that might still be running, and thus being able to acquire
subsequent locks they wouldn't be normally able to acquire.
This bug was introduced in commit 1ce150b7bb; backpatch this fix to 9.3,

This change reverts the change to the delete-abort-savept isolation test

Insertion to a non-leaf GIN page didn't make a full-page image of the page,
which is wrong. The code used to do it correctly, but was changed (commit

track incomplete splits correctly when the page was restored from a full
page image. Of course, that was not right way to fix it, the redo routine
should've been fixed instead. The redo-routine was surreptitiously fixed
in 2010 (commit 4016bdef8a), so all we need
to do now is revert the code that creates the record to its original form.

Both heap_freeze_tuple() and heap_tuple_needs_freeze() neglected to look
into a multixact to check the members against cutoff_xid. This means
that a very old Xid could survive hidden within a multi, possibly
outliving its CLOG storage. In the distant future, this would cause
clog lookup failures:
ERROR: could not access status of transaction 3883960912
DETAIL: Could not open file "pg_clog/0E78": No such file or directory.
This mostly was problematic when the updating transaction aborted, since
in that case the row wouldn't get pruned away earlier in vacuum and the
multixact could possibly survive for a long time. In many cases, data
that is inaccessible for this reason way can be brought back
heuristically.
As a second bug, heap_freeze_tuple() didn't properly handle multixacts
that need to be frozen according to cutoff_multi, but whose updater xid
is still alive. Instead of preserving the update Xid, it just set Xmax
invalid, which leads to both old and new tuple versions becoming
visible. This is pretty rare in practice, but a real threat
nonetheless. Existing corrupted rows, unfortunately, cannot be repaired
in an automated fashion.
Existing physical replicas might have already incorrectly frozen tuples
because of different behavior than in master, which might only become
apparent in the future once pg_multixact/ is truncated; it is
recommended that all clones be rebuilt after upgrading.

It is dangerous to do so, because some code expects to be able to see what's

Commit 9dc842f08 of 8.2 era prevented MultiXact truncation during crash
recovery, because there was no guarantee that enough state had been
setup, and because it wasn't deemed to be a good idea to remove data
during crash recovery anyway. Since then, due to Hot-Standby, streaming
replication and PITR, the amount of time a cluster can spend doing crash
recovery has increased significantly, to the point that a cluster may
even never come out of it. This has made not truncating the content of
pg_multixact/ not defensible anymore.
To fix, take care to setup enough state for multixact truncation before
crash recovery starts (easy since checkpoints contain the required
information), and move the current end-of-recovery actions to a new
TrimMultiXact() function, analogous to TrimCLOG().
At some later point, this should probably done similarly to the way
clog.c is doing it, which is to just WAL log truncations, but we can't
do that for the back branches.
Back-patch to 9.0. 8.4 also has the problem, but since there's no hot
standby there, it's much less pressing. In 9.2 and earlier, this patch
is simpler than in newer branches, because multixact access during
recovery isn't required. Add appropriate checks to make sure that's not
happening.

While autovacuum dutifully launched anti-multixact-wraparound vacuums
when the multixact "age" was reached, the vacuum code was not aware that
it needed to make them be full table vacuums. As the resulting
partial-table vacuums aren't capable of actually increasing relminmxid,
autovacuum continued to launch anti-wraparound vacuums that didn't have
the intended effect, until age of relfrozenxid caused the vacuum to
finally be a full table one via vacuum_freeze_table_age.
To fix, introduce logic for multixacts similar to that for plain
TransactionIds, using the same GUCs.
Backpatch to 9.3, where permanent MultiXactIds were introduced.
Andres Freund, some cleanup by Álvaro
Parts of the code used autovacuum_freeze_max_age to determine whether
anti-multixact-wraparound vacuums are necessary, while others used a
hardcoded 200000000 value. This leads to problems when
autovacuum_freeze_max_age is set to a non-default value. Use the latter
everywhere.

The various places that transferred fast-path locks to the main lock table
neglected to release the PGPROC's backendLock if SetupLockInTable failed
due to being out of shared memory. In most cases this is no big deal since
ensuing error cleanup would release all held LWLocks anyway. But there are
some hot-standby functions that don't consider failure of
FastPathTransferRelationLocks to be a hard error, and in those cases this
oversight could lead to system lockup. For consistency, make all of these
places look the same as FastPathTransferRelationLocks.
Noted while looking for the cause of Dan Wood's bugs --- this wasn't it,
but it's a bug anyway.
Prevent handle_sig_alarm from losing control partway through due to a query
cancel (either an asynchronous SIGINT, or a cancel triggered by one of the
timeout handler functions). That would at least result in failure to
schedule any required future interrupt, and might result in actual
corruption of timeout.c's data structures, if the interrupt happened while
we were updating those.
We could still lose control if an asynchronous SIGINT arrives just as the
function is entered. This wouldn't break any data structures, but it would
have the same effect as if the SIGALRM interrupt had been silently lost:
we'd not fire any currently-due handlers, nor schedule any new interrupt.
To forestall that scenario, forcibly reschedule any pending timer interrupt
during AbortTransaction and AbortSubTransaction. We can avoid any extra
kernel call in most cases by not doing that until we've allowed
LockErrorCleanup to kill the DEADLOCK_TIMEOUT and LOCK_TIMEOUT events.
Another hazard is that some platforms (at least Linux and *BSD) block a
signal before calling its handler and then unblock it on return. When we
longjmp out of the handler, the unblock doesn't happen, and the signal is
left blocked indefinitely. Again, we can fix that by forcibly unblocking
signals during AbortTransaction and AbortSubTransaction.
These latter two problems do not manifest when the longjmp reaches
postgres.c, because the error recovery code there kills all pending timeout
events anyway, and it uses sigsetjmp(..., 1) so that the appropriate signal
mask is restored. So errors thrown outside any transaction should be OK
already, and cleaning up in AbortTransaction and AbortSubTransaction should
be enough to fix these issues. (We're assuming that any code that catches
a query cancel error and doesn't re-throw it will do at least a
subtransaction abort to clean up; but that was pretty much required already
by other subsystems.)
Lastly, ProcSleep should not clear the LOCK_TIMEOUT indicator flag when
disabling that event: if a lock timeout interrupt happened after the lock
was granted, the ensuing query cancel is still going to happen at the next
CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS, and we want to report it as a lock timeout not a user
cancel.
Per reports from Dan Wood.
Back-patch to 9.3 where the new timeout handling infrastructure was
introduced. We may at some point decide to back-patch the signal
unblocking changes further, but I'll desist from that until we hear
actual field complaints about it.
Although user-defined relations can't be directly created in
pg_catalog, it's possible for them to end up there, because you can
create them in some other schema and then use ALTER TABLE .. SET SCHEMA
to move them there. Previously, such relations couldn't afterwards
be manipulated, because IsSystemRelation()/IsSystemClass() rejected
all attempts to modify objects in the pg_catalog schema, regardless
of their origin. With this patch, they now reject only those
objects in pg_catalog which were created at initdb-time, allowing
most operations on user-created tables in pg_catalog to proceed
normally.
This patch also adds new functions IsCatalogRelation() and
IsCatalogClass(), which is similar to IsSystemRelation() and
IsSystemClass() but with a slightly narrower definition: only TOAST
tables of system catalogs are included, rather than *all* TOAST tables.
This is currently used only for making decisions about when
invalidation messages need to be sent, but upcoming logical decoding

In the GIN incomplete-splits patch, I used BlockIdDatas to store the block

as BlockNumbers.
We have for a long time checked the head pointer of each of the backend's
proclock lists and skipped acquiring the corresponding locktable partition
lock if the head pointer was NULL. This was safe enough in the days when
proclock lists were changed only by the owning backend, but it is pretty
questionable now that the fast-path patch added cases where backends add
entries to other backends' proclock lists. However, we don't really wish
to revert to locking each partition lock every time, because in simple
transactions that would add a lot of useless lock/unlock cycles on
already-heavily-contended LWLocks. Fortunately, the only way that another
backend could be modifying our proclock list at this point would be if it
was promoting a formerly fast-path lock of ours; and any such lock must be
one that we'd decided not to delete in the previous loop over the locallock
table. So it's okay if we miss seeing it in this loop; we'd just decide
not to delete it again. However, once we've detected a non-empty list,
we'd better re-fetch the list head pointer after acquiring the partition
lock. This guards against possibly fetching a corrupt-but-non-null pointer
if pointer fetch/store isn't atomic. It's not clear if any practical
architectures are like that, but we've never assumed that before and don't
wish to start here. In any case, the situation certainly deserves a code
comment.
While at it, refactor the partition traversal loop to use a for() construct
instead of a while() loop with goto's.
Back-patch, just in case the risk is real and not hypothetical.
Instead of simply checking the KEYS_UPDATED bit, we need to check
whether each lock held on the future version of the tuple conflicts with
the lock we're trying to acquire.
Per bug report #8434 by Tomonari Katsumata
Not doing so causes us to traverse an update chain that has been broken

subtrans or multixact lookups.

If a transaction updates/deletes a tuple just before aborting, and a
concurrent transaction tries to prune the page concurrently, the pruner
may see HeapTupleSatisfiesVacuum return HEAPTUPLE_DELETE_IN_PROGRESS,

would cause an assertion failure in development builds, but would be
otherwise Mostly Harmless.
Fix by checking whether the updater Xid is valid before trying to apply
it as page prune point.
Reported by Andres in 20131124000203.GA4403@alap2.anarazel.de
The reason for the fetch failure is that the tuple was removed because
it was dead; so the failure is innocuous and can be ignored. Moreover,
there's no need for further work and we can return success to the caller
immediately. EvalPlanQualFetch is doing something very similar to this
already.
Report and test case from Andres Freund in
20131124000203.GA4403@alap2.anarazel.de
When acquiring a lock in fast-path mode, we must reset the locallock
object's lock and proclock fields to NULL. They are not necessarily that
way to start with, because the locallock could be left over from a failed
lock acquisition attempt earlier in the transaction. Failure to do this
led to all sorts of interesting misbehaviors when LockRelease tried to
clean up no-longer-related lock and proclock objects in shared memory.
Per report from Dan Wood.
In passing, modify LockRelease to elog not just Assert if it doesn't find
lock and proclock objects for a formerly fast-path lock, matching the code
in FastPathGetRelationLockEntry and LockRefindAndRelease. This isn't a
bug but it will help in diagnosing any future bugs in this area.
Also, modify FastPathTransferRelationLocks and FastPathGetRelationLockEntry
to break out of their loops over the fastpath array once they've found the
sole matching entry. This was inconsistently done in some search loops
and not others.
Improve assorted related comments, too.
Back-patch to 9.2 where the fast-path mechanism was introduced.
Correct an obsolete statement that no backend touches another backend's
PROCLOCK lists. This was probably wrong even when written (the deadlock
checker looks at everybody's lists), and it's certainly quite wrong now
that fast-path locking can require creation of lock and proclock objects
on behalf of another backend. Also improve some statements in the hot
standby explanation, and do one or two other trivial bits of wordsmithing/
reformatting.
Replace it with an approach similar to what GiST uses: when a page is split,
the left sibling is marked with a flag indicating that the parent hasn't been
updated yet. When the parent is updated, the flag is cleared. If an insertion
steps on a page with the flag set, it will finish split before proceeding
with the insertion.
The post-recovery cleanup mechanism was never totally reliable, as insertion
to the parent could fail e.g because of running out of memory or disk space,
leaving the tree in an inconsistent state.
This also divides the responsibility of WAL-logging more clearly between
the generic ginbtree.c code, and the parts specific to entry and posting
trees. There is now a common WAL record format for insertions and deletions,
which is written by ginbtree.c, followed by tree-specific payload, which is
returned by the placetopage- and split- callbacks.
Separate the insertion payload from the more static portions of GinBtree.
GinBtree now only contains information related to searching the tree, and
the information of what to insert is passed separately.
Add root block number to GinBtree, instead of passing it around all the
functions as argument.
Split off ginFinishSplit() from ginInsertValue(). ginFinishSplit is
responsible for finding the parent and inserting the downlink to it.
I neglected this in the previous commit that updated the plpython2 output,
which I forgot to "git add" earlier.
As pointed out by Rodolfo Campero and Marko Kreen.
Vacuum recognizes that it can update relfrozenxid by checking whether it has
processed all pages of a relation. Unfortunately it performed that check
after truncating the dead pages at the end of the relation, and used the new
number of pages to decide whether all pages have been scanned. If the new
number of pages happened to be smaller or equal to the number of pages
scanned, it incorrectly decided that all pages were scanned.
This can lead to relfrozenxid being updated, even though some pages were
skipped that still contain old XIDs. That can lead to data loss due to xid
wraparounds with some rows suddenly missing. This likely has escaped notice
so far because it takes a large number (~2^31) of xids being used to see the
effect, while a full-table vacuum before that would fix the issue.
The incorrect logic was introduced by commit
b4b6923e03. Backpatch this fix down to 8.4,

backend preloaded a library. That was acceptable (though unnecessary)
for shared_preload_libraries; but it was excessive for
local_preload_libraries and session_preload_libraries. Reduce to
DEBUG1.
Also, there was logic in the EXEC_BACKEND case to avoid repeated
messages for shared_preload_libraries by demoting them to
DEBUG2. DEBUG1 seems more appropriate there, as well, so eliminate
that special case.

These functions must be careful that they return the intended value of
errno to their callers. There were several scenarios where this might
not happen:
1. The recent SSL renegotiation patch added a hunk of code that would
execute after setting errno. In the first place, it's doubtful that we
should consider renegotiation to be successfully completed after a failure,
and in the second, there's no real guarantee that the called OpenSSL
routines wouldn't clobber errno. Fix by not executing that hunk except
during success exit.
2. errno was left in an unknown state in case of an unrecognized return
code from SSL_get_error(). While this is a "can't happen" case, it seems
like a good idea to be sure we know what would happen, so reset errno to
ECONNRESET in such cases. (The corresponding code in libpq's fe-secure.c
already did this.)
3. There was an (undocumented) assumption that client_read_ended() wouldn't
change errno. While true in the current state of the code, this seems less
than future-proof. Add explicit saving/restoring of errno to make sure
that changes in the called functions won't break things.
I see no need to back-patch, since #1 is new code and the other two issues
are mostly hypothetical.
Per discussion with Amit Kapila.
The previous coding labeled expressions such as pg_index.indkey[1:3] as
being of int2vector type; which is not right because the subscript bounds
of such a result don't, in general, satisfy the restrictions of int2vector.
To fix, implicitly promote the result of slicing int2vector to int2[],
or oidvector to oid[]. This is similar to what we've done with domains
over arrays, which is a good analogy because these types are very much
like restricted domains of the corresponding regular-array types.
A side-effect is that we now also forbid array-element updates on such
columns, eg while "update pg_index set indkey[4] = 42" would have worked
before if you were superuser (and corrupted your catalogs irretrievably,
no doubt) it's now disallowed. This seems like a good thing since, again,
some choices of subscripting would've led to results not satisfying the
restrictions of int2vector. The case of an array-slice update was
rejected before, though with a different error message than you get now.
We could make these cases work in future if we added a cast from int2[]
to int2vector (with a cast function checking the subscript restrictions)
but it seems unlikely that there's any value in that.
Per report from Ronan Dunklau. Back-patch to all supported branches
because of the crash risks involved.
If logging is enabled, either ereport() or fprintf() might stomp on errno
internally, causing this function to return the wrong result. That might
only end in a misleading error report, but in any code that's examining
errno to decide what to do next, the consequences could be far graver.
This has been broken since the very first version of this file in 2006
... it's a bit astonishing that we didn't identify this long ago.
Reported by Amit Kapila, though this isn't his proposed fix.
Two call sites were apparently thinking that the last argument of
SPI_execute_plan() is the number of query parameters, but it is actually
the row limit. Change the calls to 0, since we don't care about the
limit there. The previous code didn't break anything, but it was still
wrong.
A pointer to a C string was treated as a pointer to a "name" datum and
passed to SPI_execute_plan(). This pointer would then end up being
passed through datumCopy(), which would try to copy the entire 64 bytes
of name data, thus running past the end of the C string. Fix by
converting the string to a proper name structure.

pullup_replace_vars()'s decisions about whether a pulled-up replacement
expression needs to be wrapped in a PlaceHolderVar depend on the assumption
that what looks like a Var behaves like a Var. However, if the Var is a
join alias reference, later flattening of join aliases might replace the
Var with something that's not a Var at all, and should have been wrapped.
To fix, do a forcible pass of flatten_join_alias_vars() on the subquery
targetlist before we start to copy items out of it. We'll re-run that
processing on the pulled-up expressions later, but that's harmless.
Per report from Ken Tanzer; the added regression test case is based on his
example. This bug has been there since the PlaceHolderVar mechanism was
invented, but has escaped detection because the circumstances that trigger
it are fairly narrow. You need a flattenable query underneath an outer
join, which contains another flattenable query inside a join of its own,
with a dangerous expression (a constant or something else non-strict)
in that one's targetlist.
Having seen this, I'm wondering if it wouldn't be prudent to do all
alias-variable flattening earlier, perhaps even in the rewriter.
But that would probably not be a back-patchable change.
These bugs can cause data loss on standbys started with hot_standby=on at
the moment they start to accept read only queries, by marking committed
transactions as uncommited. The likelihood of such corruptions is small
unless the primary has a high transaction rate.
5a031a5556 fixed bugs in HS's startup logic
by maintaining less state until at least STANDBY_SNAPSHOT_PENDING state
was reached, missing the fact that both clog and subtrans are written to
before that. This only failed to fail in common cases because the usage
of ExtendCLOG in procarray.c was superflous since clog extensions are
actually WAL logged.
f44eedc3f0f347a856eea8590730769125964597/I then tried to fix the missing
extensions of pg_subtrans due to the former commit's changes - which are
not WAL logged - by performing the extensions when switching to a state
> STANDBY_INITIALIZED and not performing xid assignments before that -
again missing the fact that ExtendCLOG is unneccessary - but screwed up
twice: Once because latestObservedXid wasn't updated anymore in that
state due to the earlier commit and once by having an off-by-one error in
the loop performing extensions. This means that whenever a
CLOG_XACTS_PER_PAGE (32768 with default settings) boundary was crossed
between the start of the checkpoint recovery started from and the first
xl_running_xact record old transactions commit bits in pg_clog could be
overwritten if they started and committed in that window.
Fix this mess by not performing ExtendCLOG() in HS at all anymore since
it's unneeded and evidently dangerous and by performing subtrans
extensions even before reaching STANDBY_SNAPSHOT_PENDING.
Analysis and patch by Andres Freund. Reported by Christophe Pettus.
Backpatch down to 9.0, like the previous commit that caused this.
RecoveryIsInProgress() can be called very frequently. During normal
operation, it just checks a backend-local variable and returns quickly,
but during hot standby, it checks a spinlock-protected shared variable.
Those spinlock acquisitions can become a point of contention on a busy
hot standby system.
Replace the spinlock acquisition with a memory barrier.
Per discussion with Andres Freund, Ants Aasma and Merlin Moncure.
This patch adds the ability to write TABLE( function1(), function2(), ...)
as a single FROM-clause entry. The result is the concatenation of the
first row from each function, followed by the second row from each
function, etc; with NULLs inserted if any function produces fewer rows than
others. This is believed to be a much more useful behavior than what
Postgres currently does with multiple SRFs in a SELECT list.
This syntax also provides a reasonable way to combine use of column
definition lists with WITH ORDINALITY: put the column definition list
inside TABLE(), where it's clear that it doesn't control the ordinality
column as well.
Also implement SQL-compliant multiple-argument UNNEST(), by turning
UNNEST(a,b,c) into TABLE(unnest(a), unnest(b), unnest(c)).
The SQL standard specifies TABLE() with only a single function, not
multiple functions, and it seems to require an implicit UNNEST() which is
not what this patch does. There may be something wrong with that reading
of the spec, though, because if it's right then the spec's TABLE() is just
a pointless alternative spelling of UNNEST(). After further review of
that, we might choose to adopt a different syntax for what this patch does,
but in any case this functionality seems clearly worthwhile.

Previously, -d option for pg_isready was broken. When the name of the
database was specified by -d option, pg_isready failed with an error.
When the conninfo specified by -d option contained the setting of the
host name but not Numeric IP address (i.e., hostaddr), pg_isready
displayed wrong connection message. -d option could not handle a valid
URI prefix at all. This commit fixes these bugs of pg_isready.
Backpatch to 9.3, where pg_isready was introduced.
Per report from Josh Berkus and Robert Haas.
Original patch by Fabrízio de Royes Mello, heavily modified by me.
Split off the portion of ginInsertValue that inserts the tuple to current
level into a separate function, ginPlaceToPage. ginInsertValue's charter
is now to recurse up the tree to insert the downlink, when a page split is
required.
This is in preparation for a patch to change the way incomplete splits are
handled, which will need to do these operations separately. And IMHO makes
the code more readable anyway.
This creates a new gin-btree callback function for creating a downlink for
a page. Previously, ginxlog.c duplicated the logic used during normal
operation.
