fda18e46a6 Handle policies during DROP OWNED BY
DROP OWNED BY handled GRANT-based ACLs but was not removing roles from
policies.  Fix that by having DROP OWNED BY remove the role specified
from the list of roles the policy (or policies) apply to, or the entire
policy (or policies) if it only applied to the role specified.

As with ACLs, the DROP OWNED BY caller must have permission to modify
the policy or a WARNING is thrown and no change is made to the policy.

dc4518814e Get rid of the planner's LateralJoinInfo data structure.
I originally modeled this data structure on SpecialJoinInfo, but after
commit acfcd45cac that looks like a pretty poor decision.
All we really need is relid sets identifying laterally-referenced rels;
and most of the time, what we want to know about includes indirect lateral
references, a case the LateralJoinInfo data was unsuited to compute with
any efficiency.  The previous commit redefined RelOptInfo.lateral_relids
as the transitive closure of lateral references, so that it easily supports
checking indirect references.  For the places where we really do want just
direct references, add a new RelOptInfo field direct_lateral_relids, which
is easily set up as a copy of lateral_relids before we perform the
transitive closure calculation.  Then we can just drop lateral_info_list
and LateralJoinInfo and the supporting code.  This makes the planner's
handling of lateral references noticeably more efficient, and shorter too.

Such a change can't be back-patched into stable branches for fear of
breaking extensions that might be looking at the planner's data structures;
but it seems not too late to push it into 9.5, so I've done so.

12a54c888c Handle dependencies properly in ALTER POLICY
ALTER POLICY hadn't fully considered partial policy alternation
(eg: change just the roles on the policy, or just change one of
the expressions) when rebuilding the dependencies.  Instead, it
would happily remove all dependencies which existed for the
policy and then only recreate the dependencies for the objects
referred to in the specific ALTER POLICY command.

Correct that by extracting and building the dependencies for all
objects referenced by the policy, regardless of if they were
provided as part of the ALTER POLICY command or were already in
place as part of the pre-existing policy.

564c19e86e Still more fixes for planner's handling of LATERAL references.
More fuzz testing by Andreas Seltenreich exposed that the planner did not
cope well with chains of lateral references.  If relation X references Y
laterally, and Y references Z laterally, then we will have to scan X on the
inside of a nestloop with Z, so for all intents and purposes X is laterally
dependent on Z too.  The planner did not understand this and would generate
intermediate joins that could not be used.  While that was usually harmless
except for wasting some planning cycles, under the right circumstances it
would lead to "failed to build any N-way joins" or "could not devise a
query plan" planner failures.

To fix that, convert the existing per-relation lateral_relids and
lateral_referencers relid sets into their transitive closures; that is,
they now show all relations on which a rel is directly or indirectly
laterally dependent.  This not only fixes the chained-reference problem
but allows some of the relevant tests to be made substantially simpler
and faster, since they can be reduced to simple bitmap manipulations
instead of searches of the LateralJoinInfo list.

Also, when a PlaceHolderVar that is due to be evaluated at a join contains
lateral references, we should treat those references as indirect lateral
dependencies of each of the join's base relations.  This prevents us from
trying to join any individual base relations to the lateral reference
source before the join is formed, which again cannot work.

Andreas' testing also exposed another oversight in the "dangerous
PlaceHolderVar" test added in commit 85e5e222b1.  Simply rejecting
unsafe join paths in joinpath.c is insufficient, because in some cases
we will end up rejecting *all* possible paths for a particular join, again
leading to "could not devise a query plan" failures.  The restriction has
to be known also to join_is_legal and its cohort functions, so that they
will not select a join for which that will happen.  I chose to move the
supporting logic into joinrels.c where the latter functions are.

Back-patch to 9.3 where LATERAL support was introduced.

0f2c089d34 Fix commit timestamp initialization
This module needs explicit initialization in order to replay WAL records
in recovery, but we had broken this recently following changes to make
other (stranger) scenarios work correctly.  To fix, rework the
initialization sequence so that it always takes place before WAL replay
commences for both master and standby.

I could have gone for a more localized fix that just added a "startup"
call for the master server, but it seemed better to restructure the
existing callers as well so that the whole thing made more sense.  As a
drawback, there is more control logic in xlog.c now than previously, but
doing otherwise meant passing down the ControlFile flag, which seemed
uglier as a whole.

This also meant adding a check to not re-execute ActivateCommitTs if it
had already been called.

34263e8e4a Fix ON CONFLICT UPDATE bug breaking AFTER UPDATE triggers.
ExecOnConflictUpdate() passed t_ctid of the to-be-updated tuple to
ExecUpdate(). That's problematic primarily because of two reason: First
and foremost t_ctid could point to a different tuple. Secondly, and
that's what triggered the complaint by Stanislav, t_ctid is changed by
heap_update() to point to the new tuple version.  The behavior of AFTER
UPDATE triggers was therefore broken, with NEW.* and OLD.* tuples
spuriously identical within AFTER UPDATE triggers.

To fix both issues, pass a pointer to t_self of a on-stack HeapTuple
instead.

Fixing this bug lead to one change in regression tests, which previously
failed due to the first issue mentioned above. There's a reasonable
expectation that test fails, as it updates one row repeatedly within one
INSERT ... ON CONFLICT statement. That is only possible if the second
update is triggered via ON CONFLICT ... SET, ON CONFLICT ... WHERE, or
by a WITH CHECK expression, as those are executed after
ExecOnConflictUpdate() does a visibility check. That could easily be
prohibited, but given it's allowed for plain UPDATEs and a rare corner
case, it doesn't seem worthwhile.

5b51805fe4 Fix bug leading to restoring unlogged relations from empty files.
At the end of crash recovery, unlogged relations are reset to the empty
state, using their init fork as the template. The init fork is copied to
the main fork without going through shared buffers. Unfortunately WAL
replay so far has not necessarily flushed writes from shared buffers to
disk at that point. In normal crash recovery, and before the
introduction of 'fast promotions' in fd4ced523 / 9.3, the
END_OF_RECOVERY checkpoint flushes the buffers out in time. But with
fast promotions that's not the case anymore.

To fix, force WAL writes targeting the init fork to be flushed
immediately (using the new FlushOneBuffer() function). In 9.5+ that
flush can centrally be triggered from the code dealing with restoring
full page writes (XLogReadBufferForRedoExtended), in earlier releases
that responsibility is in the hands of XLOG_HEAP_NEWPAGE's replay
function.

Backpatch to 9.1, even if this currently is only known to trigger in
9.3+. Flushing earlier is more robust, and it is advantageous to keep
the branches similar.

Typical symptoms of this bug are errors like
'ERROR:  index "..." contains unexpected zero page at block 0'
shortly after promoting a node.

c3c5c02881 Simplify LATERAL-related calculations within add_paths_to_joinrel().
While convincing myself that commit 7e19db0c09 would solve both of
the problems recently reported by Andreas Seltenreich, I realized that
add_paths_to_joinrel's handling of LATERAL restrictions could be made
noticeably simpler and faster if we were to retain the minimum possible
parameterization for each joinrel (that is, the set of relids supplying
unsatisfied lateral references in it).  We already retain that for
baserels, in RelOptInfo.lateral_relids, so we can use that field for
joinrels too.

This is a back-port of commit edca44b152.
I originally intended not to back-patch that, but additional hacking
in this area turns out to be needed, making it necessary not optional
to compute lateral_relids for joinrels.  In preparation for those fixes,
sync the relevant code with HEAD as much as practical.  (I did not risk
rearranging fields of RelOptInfo in released branches, however.)

325b357bc2 Allow foreign and custom joins to handle EvalPlanQual rechecks.
Commit e7cb7ee145 provided basic
infrastructure for allowing a foreign data wrapper or custom scan
provider to replace a join of one or more tables with a scan.
However, this infrastructure failed to take into account the need
for possible EvalPlanQual rechecks, and ExecScanFetch would fail
an assertion (or just overwrite memory) if such a check was attempted
for a plan containing a pushed-down join.  To fix, adjust the EPQ
machinery to skip some processing steps when scanrelid == 0, making
those the responsibility of scan's recheck method, which also has
the responsibility in this case of correctly populating the relevant
slot.

To allow foreign scans to gain control in the right place to make
use of this new facility, add a new, optional RecheckForeignScan
method.  Also, allow a foreign scan to have a child plan, which can
be used to correctly populate the slot (or perhaps for something
else, but this is the only use currently envisioned).

25517ee14c Fix another oversight in checking if a join with LATERAL refs is legal.
It was possible for the planner to decide to join a LATERAL subquery to
the outer side of an outer join before the outer join itself is completed.
Normally that's fine because of the associativity rules, but it doesn't
work if the subquery contains a lateral reference to the inner side of the
outer join.  In such a situation the outer join *must* be done first.
join_is_legal() missed this consideration and would allow the join to be
attempted, but the actual path-building code correctly decided that no
valid join path could be made, sometimes leading to planner errors such as
"failed to build any N-way joins".

Per report from Andreas Seltenreich.  Back-patch to 9.3 where LATERAL
support was added.

16e8e62d27 Further tweak commit_timestamp behavior
As pointed out by Fujii Masao, we weren't quite there on a standby
behaving sanely: first because we were failing to acquire the correct
state in the case where no XLOG_PARAMETER_CHANGE message was sent
(because a checkpoint had already happened after the setting was changed
in the master, and then the standby was restarted); and second because
promoting the standby with the feature enabled failed to activate it if
the master had the feature disabled.

This patch fixes both those misbehaviors hopefully without
re-introducing any old problems.

Also change the hint emitted in a standby together with the error
message about the feature being disabled, to make it point out that the
place to chance the setting is the master.  Otherwise, if the setting is
already enabled in the standby, it is very confusing to have it say that
the setting must be enabled ...

07338cb742 Clean up some psql issues around handling of the query output file.
Formerly, if "psql -o foo" failed to open the output file "foo", it would
print an error message but then carry on as though -o had not been
specified at all.  This seems contrary to expectation: a program that
cannot open its output file normally fails altogether.  Make psql do
exit(1) after reporting the error.

If "\o foo" failed to open "foo", it would print an error message but then
reset the output file to stdout, as if the argument had been omitted.
This is likewise pretty surprising behavior.  Make it keep the previous
output state, instead.

psql keeps SIGPIPE interrupts disabled when it is writing to a pipe, either
a pipe specified by -o/\o or a transient pipe opened for purposes such as
using a pager on query output.  The logic for this was too simple and could
sometimes re-enable SIGPIPE when a -o pipe was still active, thus possibly
leading to an unexpected psql crash later.

Fixing the last point required getting rid of the kluge in PrintQueryTuples
and ExecQueryUsingCursor whereby they'd transiently change the global
queryFout state, but that seems like good cleanup anyway.

Back-patch to 9.5 but not further; these are minor-enough issues that
changing the behavior in stable branches doesn't seem appropriate.

375a3b3397 Fix behavior of printTable() and friends with externally-invoked pager.
The formatting modes that depend on knowledge of the terminal window width
did not work right when printing a query result that's been fetched in
sections (as a result of FETCH_SIZE).  ExecQueryUsingCursor() would force
use of the pager as soon as there's more than one result section, and then
print.c would see an output file pointer that's not stdout and incorrectly
conclude that the terminal window width isn't relevant.

This has been broken all along for non-expanded "wrapped" output format,
and as of 9.5 the issue affects expanded mode as well.  The problem also
caused "\pset expanded auto" mode to invariably *not* switch to expanded
output in a segmented result, which seems to me to be exactly backwards.

To fix, we need to pass down an "is_pager" flag to inform the print.c
subroutines that some calling level has already replaced stdout with a
pager pipe, so they should (a) not do that again and (b) nonetheless honor
the window size.  (Notably, this makes the first is_pager test in
print_aligned_text() not be dead code anymore.)

This patch is a bit invasive because there are so many existing calls of
printQuery()/printTable(), but fortunately all but a couple can just pass
"false" for the added parameter.

Back-patch to 9.5 but no further.  Given the lack of field complaints,
it's not clear that we should change the behavior in stable branches.
Also, the API change for printQuery()/printTable() might possibly break
third-party code, again something we don't like to do in stable branches.
However, it's not quite too late to do this in 9.5, and with the larger
scope of the problem there, it seems worth doing.

e9986a811c Make gincostestimate() cope with hypothetical GIN indexes.
We tried to fetch statistics data from the index metapage, which does not
work if the index isn't actually present.  If the index is hypothetical,
instead extrapolate some plausible internal statistics based on the index
page count provided by the index-advisor plugin.

There was already some code in gincostestimate() to invent internal stats
in this way, but since it was only meant as a stopgap for pre-9.1 GIN
indexes that hadn't been vacuumed since upgrading, it was pretty crude.
If we want it to support index advisors, we should try a little harder.
A small amount of testing says that it's better to estimate the entry pages
as 90% of the index, not 100%.  Also, estimating the number of entries
(keys) as equal to the heap tuple count could be wildly wrong in either
direction.  Instead, let's estimate 100 entries per entry page.

Perhaps someday somebody will want the index advisor to be able to provide
these numbers more directly, but for the moment this should serve.

Problem report and initial patch by Julien Rouhaud; modified by me to
invent less-bogus internal statistics.  Back-patch to all supported
branches, since we've supported index advisors since 9.0.

181346cf98 Further tweaking of print_aligned_vertical().
Don't force the data width to extend all the way to the right margin if it
doesn't need to.  This reverts the behavior in non-wrapping cases to be
what it was in 9.4.  Also, make the logic that ensures the data line width
is at least equal to the record-header line width a little less obscure.

In passing, avoid possible calculation of log10(0).  Probably that's
harmless, given the lack of field complaints, but it seems risky:
conversion of NaN to an integer isn't well defined.

6fe8ca0a2f Further adjustment to psql's print_aligned_vertical() function.
We should ignore output_columns unless it's greater than zero.
A zero means we couldn't get any information from ioctl(TIOCGWINSZ);
in that case the expected behavior is to print the data at native width,
not to wrap it at the smallest possible value.  print_aligned_text()
gets this consideration right, but print_aligned_vertical() lost track
of this detail somewhere along the line.

4122ebcb10 Rework wrap-width calculation in psql's print_aligned_vertical() function.
This area was rather heavily whacked around in 6513633b9 and follow-on
commits, and it was showing it, because the logic to calculate the
allowable data width in wrapped expanded mode had only the vaguest
relationship to the logic that was actually printing the data.  It was
not very close to being right about the conditions requiring overhead
columns to be added.  Aside from being wrong, it was pretty unreadable
and under-commented.  Rewrite it so it corresponds to what the printing
code actually does.

In passing, remove a couple of dead tests in the printing logic, too.

Per a complaint from Jeff Janes, though this doesn't look much like his
patch because it fixes a number of other corner-case bogosities too.
One such fix that's visible in the regression test results is that
although the code was attempting to enforce a minimum data width of
3 columns, it sometimes left less space than that available.

e69d3a82e4 Avoid caching expression state trees for domain constraints across queries.
In commit 8abb3cda0d I attempted to cache
the expression state trees constructed for domain CHECK constraints for
the life of the backend (assuming the domain's constraints don't get
redefined).  However, this turns out not to work very well, because
execQual.c will run those state trees with ecxt_per_query_memory pointing
to a query-lifespan context, and in some situations we'll end up with
pointers into that context getting stored into the state trees.  This
happens in particular with SQL-language functions, as reported by
Emre Hasegeli, but there are many other cases.

To fix, keep only the expression plan trees for domain CHECK constraints
in the typcache's data structure, and revert to performing ExecInitExpr
(at least) once per query to set up expression state trees in the query's
context.

Eventually it'd be nice to undo this, but that will require some careful
thought about memory management for expression state trees, and it seems
far too late for any such redesign in 9.5.  This way is still much more
efficient than what happened before 8abb3cda0.

55a2cc8442 Be more paranoid about null return values from libpq status functions.
PQhost() can return NULL in non-error situations, namely when a Unix-socket
connection has been selected by default.  That behavior is a tad debatable
perhaps, but for the moment we should make sure that psql copes with it.
Unfortunately, do_connect() failed to: it could pass a NULL pointer to
strcmp(), resulting in crashes on most platforms.  This was reported as a
security issue by ChenQin of Topsec Security Team, but the consensus of
the security list is that it's just a garden-variety bug with no security
implications.

For paranoia's sake, I made the keep_password test not trust PQuser or
PQport either, even though I believe those will never return NULL given
a valid PGconn.

5f5e68b087 Adopt the GNU convention for handling tar-archive members exceeding 8GB.
The POSIX standard for tar headers requires archive member sizes to be
printed in octal with at most 11 digits, limiting the representable file
size to 8GB.  However, GNU tar and apparently most other modern tars
support a convention in which oversized values can be stored in base-256,
allowing any practical file to be a tar member.  Adopt this convention
to remove two limitations:
* pg_dump with -Ft output format failed if the contents of any one table
exceeded 8GB.
* pg_basebackup failed if the data directory contained any file exceeding
8GB.  (This would be a fatal problem for installations configured with a
table segment size of 8GB or more, and it has also been seen to fail when
large core dump files exist in the data directory.)

File sizes under 8GB are still printed in octal, so that no compatibility
issues are created except in cases that would have failed entirely before.

In addition, this patch fixes several bugs in the same area:

* In 9.3 and later, we'd defined tarCreateHeader's file-size argument as
size_t, which meant that on 32-bit machines it would write a corrupt tar
header for file sizes between 4GB and 8GB, even though no error was raised.
This broke both "pg_dump -Ft" and pg_basebackup for such cases.

* pg_restore from a tar archive would fail on tables of size between 4GB
and 8GB, on machines where either "size_t" or "unsigned long" is 32 bits.
This happened even with an archive file not affected by the previous bug.

* pg_basebackup would fail if there were files of size between 4GB and 8GB,
even on 64-bit machines.

* In 9.3 and later, "pg_basebackup -Ft" failed entirely, for any file size,
on 64-bit big-endian machines.

In view of these potential data-loss bugs, back-patch to all supported
branches, even though removal of the documented 8GB limit might otherwise
be considered a new feature rather than a bug fix.

a35c5b7c1f Fix handling of inherited check constraints in ALTER COLUMN TYPE (again).
The previous way of reconstructing check constraints was to do a separate
"ALTER TABLE ONLY tab ADD CONSTRAINT" for each table in an inheritance
hierarchy.  However, that way has no hope of reconstructing the check
constraints' own inheritance properties correctly, as pointed out in
bug #13779 from Jan Dirk Zijlstra.  What we should do instead is to do
a regular "ALTER TABLE", allowing recursion, at the topmost table that
has a particular constraint, and then suppress the work queue entries
for inherited instances of the constraint.

Annoyingly, we'd tried to fix this behavior before, in commit 5ed6546cf,
but we failed to notice that it wasn't reconstructing the pg_constraint
field values correctly.

As long as I'm touching pg_get_constraintdef_worker anyway, tweak it to
always schema-qualify the target table name; this seems like useful backup
to the protections installed by commit 5f173040.

In HEAD/9.5, get rid of get_constraint_relation_oids, which is now unused.
(I could alternatively have modified it to also return conislocal, but that
seemed like a pretty single-purpose API, so let's not pretend it has some
other use.)  It's unused in the back branches as well, but I left it in
place just in case some third-party code has decided to use it.

In HEAD/9.5, also rename pg_get_constraintdef_string to
pg_get_constraintdef_command, as the previous name did nothing to explain
what that entry point did differently from others (and its comment was
equally useless).  Again, that change doesn't seem like material for
back-patching.

I did a bit of re-pgindenting in tablecmds.c in HEAD/9.5, as well.

Otherwise, back-patch to all supported branches.

8ee1a776a0 Dodge a macro-name conflict with Perl.
Some versions of Perl export a macro named HS_KEY.  This creates a
conflict in contrib/hstore_plperl against hstore's macro of the same
name.  The most future-proof solution seems to be to rename our macro;
I chose HSTORE_KEY.  For consistency, rename HS_VAL and related macros
similarly.

Back-patch to 9.5.  contrib/hstore_plperl doesn't exist before that
so there is no need to worry about the conflict in older releases.

Per reports from Marco Atzeri and Mike Blackwell.

bb8b179603 Fix thinko: errmsg -> ereport.
Silly mistake in my commit 09cecdf285, reported by Erik Rijkers.

The fact that the buildfarm didn't find this implies that we are not
testing Perl builds that lack MULTIPLICITY, which is a bit disturbing
from a coverage standpoint.  Until today I'd have said nobody cared
about such configurations anymore; but maybe not.

fed03032e5 Improve vcregress.pl's handling of tap tests for client programs
The target is now named 'bincheck' rather than 'tapcheck' so that it
reflects what is checked instead of the test mechanism. Some of the
logic is improved, making it easier to add further sets of TAP based
tests in future. Also, the environment setting logic is imrpoved.

As discussed on -hackers a couple of months ago.

6f8519d130 Remove function names from some elog() calls in heapam.c.
At least one of the names was, due to a function renaming late in the
development of ON CONFLICT, wrong. Since including function names in
error messages is against the message style guide anyway, remove them
from the messages.

659d472920 Accept flex > 2.5.x in configure.
Per buildfarm member anchovy, 2.6.0 exists in the wild now.
Hopefully it works with Postgres; if not, we'll have to do something
about that, but in any case claiming it's "too old" is pretty silly.
