The formatting of the sidebar element didn't carry over to the new tool
chain. Instead of inventing a whole new way of dealing with it, just
convert the one use to a "note".
As long as PQntuples, PQgetvalue, etc, use "int" for row numbers, we're
pretty much stuck with this limitation. The documentation formerly stated
that the result of PQntuples "might overflow on 32-bit operating systems",
which is just nonsense: that's not where the overflow would happen, and
if you did reach an overflow it would not be on a 32-bit machine, because
you'd have OOM'd long since.

Adding more than 1 billion rows to a PGresult would overflow its ntups and
tupArrSize fields, leading to client crashes. It'd be desirable to use
wider fields on 64-bit machines, but because all of libpq's external APIs
use plain "int" for row counters, that's going to be hard to accomplish
without an ABI break. Given the lack of complaints so far, and the general
pain that would be involved in using such huge PGresults, let's settle for
just preventing the overflow and reporting a useful error message if it
does happen. Also, for a couple more lines of code we can increase the
threshold of trouble from INT_MAX/2 to INT_MAX rows.
To do that, refactor pqAddTuple() to allow returning an error message that
replaces the default assumption that it failed because of out-of-memory.
Along the way, fix PQsetvalue() so that it reports all failures via
pqInternalNotice(). It already did so in the case of bad field number,
but neglected to report anything for other error causes.
Because of the potential for crashes, this seems like a back-patchable
bug fix, despite the lack of field reports.

Up until now, when parallel query was used, no details about the
sort method or space used by the workers were available; details
were shown only for any sorting done by the leader. Fix that.
Commit 1177ab1dab forced the test case
added by commit 1f6d515a67 to run
without parallelism; now that we have this infrastructure, allow
that again, with a little tweaking to make it pass with and without
force_parallel_mode.

If we only need, say, 10 tuples in total, then we certainly don't need
more than 10 tuples from any single process. Pushing down the limit
lets workers exit early when possible. For Gather Merge, there is
an additional benefit: a Sort immediately below the Gather Merge can
be done as a bounded sort if there is an applicable limit.

Fix thinko in commit 8be8510cf: it's okay to have dbid == 0 in normal
(non-pin) entries in pg_shdepend, because global objects such as
databases are entered that way. The test would pass so long as it
was run in a cluster containing no databases/tablespaces owned by,
or granted to, roles other than the bootstrap superuser. That's the
expected situation for "make check", but for "make installcheck", not
so much.

Minor improvements for commit 1f6d515a6. We do not need the (rather
expensive) test for SRFs in the targetlist, because since v10 any
such SRFs would appear in separate ProjectSet nodes. Also, make the
code look more like the existing cases by turning it into a simple
recursion --- the argument that there might be some performance
benefit to contorting the code seems unfounded to me, especially since
any good compiler should turn the tail-recursion into iteration anyway.

Commit 8c0d7bafad introduced dshash with hash
and compare functions like DynaHash's, and also variants that take a user
data pointer instead of size. Simplify the interface by merging them into
a single pair of function pointer types that take both size and a user data
pointer.
Since it is anticipated that memcmp and tag_hash behavior will be a common
requirement, provide wrapper functions dshash_memcmp and dshash_memhash that
conform to the new function types.

Backpatch: 10, where dsa was introduced.
Remove code meant for upgrading to a particular version of PostgreSQL
9.0. Since pg_upgrade only supports upgrading to the current major
version, this code is no longer useful.
The test case added by commit 1f6d515a6 fails on buildfarm members that
have force_parallel_mode turned on, because we currently don't report sort
performance details from worker processes back to the master. To fix that,
just make the test table be temp rather than regular; that's a good idea
anyway to forestall any possible interference from auto-analyze.
(The restriction that workers can't access temp tables might go away
someday, but almost certainly not before the other thing gets fixed.)
Also, improve the test so that we retain as much as possible of the
EXPLAIN ANALYZE output. This aids debugging failures, and might also
expose problems that the preceding version masked.

Add general purpose chaining hash tables for DSA memory. Unlike
DynaHash in shared memory mode, these hash tables can grow as
required, and cope with being mapped into different addresses in
different backends.
There is a wide range of potential users for such a hash table, though
it's very likely the interface will need to evolve as we come to
understand the needs of different kinds of users. E.g support for
iterators and incremental resizing is planned for later commits and
the details of the callback signatures are likely to change.

Previously, tuple descriptors were stored in chains keyed by a fixed size
array of OIDs. That meant there were effectively two levels of collision
chain -- one inside and one outside the hash table. Instead, let dynahash.c
look after conflicts for us by supplying a proper hash and equal function
pair.
This is a nice cleanup on its own, but also simplifies followup
changes allowing blessed TupleDescs to be shared between backends
participating in parallel query.

TupleDesc's attributes were already stored in contiguous memory after the
struct. Go one step further and get rid of the array of pointers to
attributes so that they can be stored in shared memory mapped at different
addresses in each backend. This won't work for TupleDescs with contraints
and defaults, since those point to other objects, but for many purposes
only attributes are needed.

Commit 3eb9a5e7c unintentionally introduced an ordering dependency
into restore_toc_entries_prefork(). The existing coding of
reduce_dependencies() contains a check to skip moving a TOC entry
to the ready_list if it wasn't initially in the pending_list.
This used to suffice to prevent reduce_dependencies() from trying to
move anything into the ready_list during restore_toc_entries_prefork(),
because the pending_list stayed empty throughout that phase; but it no
longer does. The problem doesn't manifest unless the TOC has been
reordered by SortTocFromFile, which is how I missed it in testing.
To fix, just add a test for ready_list == NULL, converting the call
with NULL from a poor man's sanity check into an explicit command
not to touch TOC items' list membership. Clarify some of the comments
around this; in particular, note the primary purpose of the check for
pending_list membership, which is to ensure that we can't try to restore
the same item twice, in case a TOC list forces it to be restored before
its dependency count goes to zero.
