Previously if a directory had both isolationtester and plain
regression tests, they couldn't be run in parallel, because they'd
access the same files/directories. That, so far, only affected
contrib/test_decoding.
Rather than fix that locally in contrib/test_decoding, improve
pg_regress_isolation_[install]check to use separate resources from
plain regression tests.
That requires a minor change in pg_regress, namely that the
--outputdir is created if not already existing, that seems like good
idea anyway.
Use the improved helpers even where previously not used.

We used to export snapshots unconditionally in CREATE_REPLICATION_SLOT
in the replication protocol, but several upcoming patches want more
control over what happens.
Suppress snapshot export in pg_recvlogical, which neither needs nor can
use the exported snapshot. Since snapshot exporting can fail this
improves reliability.
This also paves the way for allowing the creation of replication slots
on standbys, which cannot export snapshots because they cannot allocate
new XIDs.

Commit 51ee6f3160 accidentally changed
the behavior around inheritance hierarchies; before, we always
considered parallel paths even for very small inheritance children,
because otherwise an inheritance hierarchy with even one small child
wouldn't be eligible for parallelism. That exception was inadverently
removed; put it back.
In passing, also adjust the degree-of-parallelism comptuation for
index-only scans not to consider the number of heap pages fetched.
Otherwise, we'll avoid parallel index-only scans on tables that are
mostly all-visible, which isn't especially logical.

The warning about hash indexes not being write-ahead logged and their
use being discouraged has been removed. "snapshot too old" is now
supported for tables with hash indexes. Most importantly, barring
bugs, hash indexes will now be crash-safe and usable on standbys.
This commit doesn't yet add WAL consistency checking for hash
indexes, as we now have for other index types; a separate patch has
been submitted to cure that lack.

The original messaging design, introduced in commit 068cfadf9, seems too
chatty now that some time has elapsed since the bug fix; most installations
will be in good shape and don't really need a reminder about this on every
postmaster start.
Hence, arrange to suppress the "wraparound protections are now enabled"
message during startup (specifically, during the TrimMultiXact() call).
The message will still appear if protection becomes effective at some
later point.

This could result in corruption of the init fork of an unlogged index
if the ambuildempty routine for that index used shared buffers to
create the init fork, which was true for brin, gin, gist, and hash
indexes.

This logic was adapated from create_merge_append_plan, but the two
cases aren't really analogous, because create_merge_append_plan is not
projection-capable and must therefore have a tlist identical to that
of the underlying paths. Overwriting the tlist of Gather Merge with
whatever the underlying plan happens to produce is no good at all.

Fallout from fcec6caafa2: mark a variable in
set_tablefunc_size_estimates as used for asserts only.
Also, the planner_rte_fetch() call is pointless with assertions
disabled, so enclose it in a USE_ASSERT_CHECKING #ifdef; fix the same
problem in set_subquery_size_estimates().
First problem noted by David Rowley, whose compiler is noisier than mine
in this regard.
The immediate motivation for this is to provide clean infrastructure
for the proposed \if...\endif patch for psql; but it seems like a good
thing to have even if that patch doesn't get in. Previously the callback
functions could only make use of application-global state, which is a
pretty severe handicap.
For the moment, the pointer is only passed through to the get_variable
callback function. I considered also passing it to the write_error
callback, but for now let's not. Neither psql nor pgbench has a use
for that, and in the case of psql we'd have to invent a separate wrapper
function because we would certainly not want to change the signature of
psql_error().

Rather than waiting around for statement_timeout to expire, we can just
try to take the table's lock in nowait mode. This saves some fraction
under 4 seconds when running this test with prepared xacts available,
and it guards against timeout-expired-anyway failures on very slow
machines when prepared xacts are not available, as seen in a recent
failure on axolotl for instance.
This approach could fail if autovacuum were to take an exclusive lock
on the test table concurrently, but there's no reason for it to do so.
Since the main point here is to improve stability in the buildfarm,
back-patch to all supported branches.
The problem was that "begin transaction" was issued automatically
before executing COMMIT/ROLLBACK PREPARED if not in auto commit. This fix by
Masahiko Sawada fixes this.
Replace the mapping tables used to convert between UTF-8 and other
character encodings with new radix tree-based maps. Looking up an entry in
a radix tree is much faster than a binary search in the old maps. As a
bonus, the radix tree representation is also more compact, making the
binaries slightly smaller.
The "combined" maps work the same as before, with binary search. They are
much smaller than the main tables, so it doesn't matter so much. However,
the "combined" maps are now stored in the same .map files as the main
tables. This seems more clear, since they're always used together, and
generated from the same source files.

This makes almost all core code follow the policy introduced in the
previous commit. Specific decisions:
- Text search support functions with char* and length arguments, such as
prsstart and lexize, may receive unaligned strings. I doubt
maintainers of non-core text search code will notice.
- Use plain VARDATA() on values detoasted or synthesized earlier in the
same function. Use VARDATA_ANY() on varlenas sourced outside the
function, even if they happen to always have four-byte headers. As an
exception, retain the universal practice of using VARDATA() on return
values of SendFunctionCall().
- Retain PG_GETARG_BYTEA_P() in pageinspect. (Page images are too large
for a one-byte header, so this misses no optimization.) Sites that do
not call get_page_from_raw() typically need the four-byte alignment.
- For now, do not change btree_gist. Its use of four-byte headers in
memory is partly entangled with storage of 4-byte headers inside
GBT_VARKEY, on disk.
- For now, do not change gtrgm_consistent() or gtrgm_distance(). They
incorporate the varlena header into a cache, and there are multiple
credible implementation strategies to consider.
When commit 3e23b68dac introduced
single-byte varlena headers, its fmgr.h changes presented
PG_GETARG_TEXT_PP() and PG_GETARG_TEXT_P() as equals. Its postgres.h
changes presented PG_DETOAST_DATUM_PACKED() and VARDATA_ANY() as the
exceptional case. Now, instead, firmly recommend PG_GETARG_TEXT_PP()
over PG_GETARG_TEXT_P(); likewise for other ...PP() macros. This shaves
cycles and invites consistency of style.
In functions that issue a deconstruct_array() call, consistently use
plain VARSIZE()/VARDATA() on the array elements. Prior practice was
divided between those and VARSIZE_ANY_EXHDR()/VARDATA_ANY().
This could only matter if the guessed_type variable had a value that wasn't
a member of the PasswordType enum; but just in case, let's be sure that
control falls out to reach the elog(ERROR) at the end of the function.
Per gripe from Coverity.
Coverity noted that the last line of gather_merge_getnext() was
unreachable, since each arm of the preceding "if" ends in a "return".
Drop it as an oversight. In passing, improve some nearby comments.
Upcoming patches are revamping expression evaluation significantly. It
therefore seems prudent to try to ensure that the coverage of the
existing evaluation code is high.
This commit adds coverage for the cases that can reasonably be
tested. There's still a bunch of unreachable error messages and such,
but otherwise this achieves nearly full regression test coverage (with
the exception of the unused GetAttributeByNum/GetAttributeByName).

When one of the kernel calls in the socket()/bind()/listen() sequence
fails, include the specific address we're trying to bind to in the log
message. This greatly eases debugging of network misconfigurations.
Also, after successfully setting up a listen socket, report its address
in the log, to ease verification that the expected addresses were bound.
There was some debate about whether to print this message at LOG level or
only DEBUG1, but the majority of votes were for the former.

There's no really good reason why the autovacuum launcher and logical
replication launcher should announce themselves at startup and shutdown
by default. Users don't care that those processes exist, and it's
inconsistent that those background processes announce themselves while
others don't. So, reduce those messages from LOG to DEBUG1 level.
I was sorely tempted to reduce the "starting logical replication worker
for subscription ..." message to DEBUG1 as well, but forebore for now.
Those processes might possibly be of direct interest to users, at least
until logical replication is a lot better shaken out than it is today.

This reverts commit ccce90b398. This
optimization is unsafe, at least, of rollbacks and rollbacks to
savepoints, but I'm concerned there may be other problematic cases as
well. Therefore, I've decided to revert this pending further
investigation.
Commits 89e0bac86 et al replaced newlines with spaces in object names
printed in SQL comments, but we neglected to consider that the same
names are also printed by "pg_restore -l", and a newline would render
the output unparseable by "pg_restore -L". Apply the same replacement
in "-l" output. Since "pg_restore -L" doesn't actually examine any
object names, only the dump ID field that starts each line, this is
enough to fix things for its purposes.
The previous fix was treated as a security issue, and we might have
done that here as well, except that the issue was reported publicly
to start with. Anyway it's hard to see how this could be exploited
for SQL injection; "pg_restore -L" doesn't do much with the file
except parse it for leading integers.

Seven of the eight other relkind codes are lower-case, so it wasn't
consistent for this one to be upper-case. Fix it while we still can.
Historical notes: the reason for the lone exception, i.e. sequences being
'S', is that 's' was once used for "special" relations. Also, at one time
the partitioned-tables patch used both 'P' and 'p', but that got changed,
leaving only a surprising choice behind.
This also fixes a couple little bits of technical debt, such as
type_sanity.sql not knowing that 'm' is a legal value for relkind.

Although it's reasonable to expect that most of these constants will
never change, that does not make it good programming style to hard-code

This is the beginning of a collection of SQL-callable functions to
verify the integrity of data files. For now it only contains code to
verify B-Tree indexes.
This adds two SQL-callable functions, validating B-Tree consistency to
a varying degree. Check the, extensive, docs for details.
The goal is to later extend the coverage of the module to further
access methods, possibly including the heap. Once checks for
additional access methods exist, we'll likely add some "dispatch"
functions that cover multiple access methods.

Although it's reasonable to expect that most of these constants will
never change, that does not make it good programming style to hard-code
the value rather than using the RELKIND_FOO macros. There were only
a few such violations, and all relatively new AFAICT.
Existing style is mostly to inject relkind values into constructed
query strings using %c. I did not bother to touch places that did it
like that, but really a better technique is to stringify the RELKIND
macro, at least in places where you'd want single quotes around the
code character. That avoids any runtime effort and keeps the RELKIND
symbol close to where it's used.
