Test composite-type arguments and the argisnull and spi_lastoid Tcl
commmands. This stuff was not covered before, but needs to be exercised
since the upcoming Tcl object-conversion patch changes these code paths
(and broke at least one of them).
These tests verify that 1) WAL replay preserves the stored value,
2) a streaming standby server replays the value obtained from the
master, and 3) the behavior is sensible in the face of repeated
configuration changes.
One annoyance is that tmp_check/ subdir from the TAP tests is clobbered
when the pg_regress test runs in the same subdirectory. This is
bothersome but not too terrible a problem, since the pg_regress test is
not run anyway if the TAP tests fail (unless "make -k" is used).
I had these tests around since commit 69e7235c93e2; add them now that we
have the recovery test framework in place.

I noticed that the async-notify test results in log messages like these:
LOG: could not send data to client: Broken pipe
FATAL: connection to client lost
This is because it unceremoniously disconnects a client session that is
about to have some NOTIFY messages delivered to it. Such log messages
during a regression test might well cause people to go looking for a
problem that doesn't really exist (it did cause me to waste some time that
way). We can shut it up by adding an UNLISTEN command to session teardown.
Patch HEAD only; this doesn't seem significant enough to back-patch.
This error message was written with only ON SELECT rules in mind, but since
then we also made RETURNING-clause targetlists go through the same logic.
This means that you got a rather off-topic error message if you tried to
add a rule with RETURNING to a table having dropped columns. Ideally we'd
just support that, but some preliminary investigation says that it might be
a significant amount of work. Seeing that Nicklas Avén's complaint is the
first one we've gotten about this in the ten years or so that the code's
been like that, I'm unwilling to put much time into it. Instead, improve
the error report by issuing a different message for RETURNING cases, and
revise the associated comment based on this investigation.

The original coding of the test was relying too much on the ordering in
which backends are awakened once an advisory lock which they wait for is
released. Change the code so that each backend uses its own advisory
lock instead, so that the output becomes stable. Also add a few seconds
of sleep between lock releases, so that the test isn't broken in
overloaded buildfarm animals, as suggested by Tom Lane.

In commit 19a541143a I replaced RelOptInfo.width with

When converting an RTE with securityQuals into a security barrier
subquery RTE, ensure that the Vars in the new subquery's targetlist
all have varlevelsup = 0 so that they correctly refer to the
underlying base relation being wrapped.
The original code was creating new Vars by copying them from existing
Vars referencing the base relation found elsewhere in the query, but
failed to account for the fact that such Vars could come from sublink
subqueries, and hence have varlevelsup > 0. In practice it looks like
this could only happen with nested security barrier views, where the
outer view has a WHERE clause containing a correlated subquery, due to
the order in which the Vars are processed.

Backpatch-to: 9.4, where updatable SB views were introduced
A failure partway through PGLC_localeconv() led to a situation where
the next call would call free_struct_lconv() a second time, leading
to free() on already-freed strings, typically leading to a core dump.
Add a flag to remember whether we need to do that.
Per report from Thom Brown. His example case only provokes the failure
as far back as 9.4, but nonetheless this code is obviously broken, so
back-patch to all supported branches.
In 0e5680f473, I fixed a bug in heapam that caused spurious deadlocks
when multiple updates concurrently attempted to modify the old version
of an updated tuple whose new version was key-share locked. I proposed
an isolationtester spec file that reproduced the bug, but back then
isolationtester wasn't mature enough to be able to run it. Now that
38f8bdcac4 is in the tree, we can have this spec file too.

I applied the previous-to-last revision of Michaël's submitted patch
instead of the last; these two tweaks pointed out by Craig were left out
of the previous commit by accident.
Some code in the RewindTest test suite is more generally useful than
just for that suite, so put it where other test suites can reach it.
Some postgresql.conf parameters change their default values when a
cluster is initialized with 'allows_streaming' than the previous
behavior; most notably, autovacuum is no longer turned off.
(Also, we no longer call pg_ctl promote with -w, but that flag doesn't
actually do anything in promote so there's no behavior change.)

CREATE TABLE .. AS EXECUTE can turn an apparently read-only query into
a write operation, which parallel query can't handle. It's a bit of a
shame that requires us to avoid parallel query for queries prepared via
PREPARE in all cases, but for right now it does.
This is basically a bug fix; the old code assumes that a ForeignScan
is always parallel-safe, but for postgres_fdw, for example, this is
definitely false. It should be true for file_fdw, though, since a
worker can read a file from the filesystem just as well as any other
backend process.
Original patch by Thomas Munro. Documentation, and changes to the
comments, by me.
Also, the dump_info method got split into another method that returns
the stuff as a string instead of just printing it to stdout.

Parallel query can't handle running a query only partially rather than
to completion. However, there seems to be no way to run a statement
prepared via SQL PREPARE other than to completion, so we can enable it
there without a problem.
The situation is more complicated for the extend query protocol.
libpq seems to provide no way to send an Execute message with a
non-zero rowcount, but some other client might. If that happens, and
a parallel plan was chosen, we'll execute the parallel plan without
using any workers, which may be somewhat inefficient but should still
work. Hopefully this won't be a problem; users can always set
max_parallel_degree=0 to avoid choosing parallel plans in the first
place.

This patch introduces "pg_blocking_pids(int) returns int[]", which returns
the PIDs of any sessions that are blocking the session with the given PID.
Historically people have obtained such information using a self-join on
the pg_locks view, but it's unreasonably tedious to do it that way with any
modicum of correctness, and the addition of parallel queries has pretty
much broken that approach altogether. (Given some more columns in the view
than there are today, you could imagine handling parallel-query cases with
a 4-way join; but ugh.)
The new function has the following behaviors that are painful or impossible
to get right via pg_locks:
1. Correctly understands which lock modes block which other ones.
2. In soft-block situations (two processes both waiting for conflicting lock
modes), only the one that's in front in the wait queue is reported to
block the other.
3. In parallel-query cases, reports all sessions blocking any member of
the given PID's lock group, and reports a session by naming its leader
process's PID, which will be the pg_backend_pid() value visible to
clients.
The motivation for doing this right now is mostly to fix the isolation
tests. Commit 38f8bdcac4 lobotomized
isolationtester's is-it-waiting query by removing its ability to recognize
nonconflicting lock modes, as a crude workaround for the inability to
handle soft-block situations properly. But even without the lock mode
tests, the old query was excessively slow, particularly in
CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS builds; some of our buildfarm animals fail the new
deadlock-hard test because the deadlock timeout elapses before they can
probe the waiting status of all eight sessions. Replacing the pg_locks
self-join with use of pg_blocking_pids() is not only much more correct, but
a lot faster: I measure it at about 9X faster in a typical dev build with
Asserts, and 3X faster in CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS builds. That should provide
enough headroom for the slower CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS animals to pass the
test, without having to lengthen deadlock_timeout yet more and thus slow
down the test for everyone else.
We don't really need this field, because it's either zero or redundant with
PGPROC.pid. The use of zero to mark "not a group leader" is not necessary
since we can just as well test whether lockGroupLeader is NULL. This does
not save very much, either as to code or data, but the simplification seems
worthwhile anyway.
In 4b4b680c3 I accidentally used sizeof(PrivateRefCountArray) instead of
sizeof(PrivateRefCountEntry) when creating the refcount overflow
hashtable. As the former is bigger than the latter, this luckily only
resulted in a slightly increased memory usage when many buffers are
pinned in a backend.

Backpatch: 9.5, where thew new ref count infrastructure was introduced
The "Session Information Functions" table seems to be sorted mostly
alphabetically (although it's not perfect), which would be all right
if it didn't lead to some related functions being described in a
pretty nonintuitive order. Also, the prose discussions after the table
were in an order that hardly matched the table at all. Rearrange to
make things a bit easier to follow.
Coverity griped about use of unchecked strcpy() into a local variable.
There's unlikely to be any actual bug there, since no caller would be
passing a path longer than MAXPGPATH, but nonetheless use of strlcpy()
seems preferable.
While at it, get rid of unmaintainable separation between list of
field names and list of field values in favor of initializing them
in parallel. And we might as well declare get_configdata()'s path
argument as const char *, even though no current caller needs that.
Some over-eager copy-and-pasting on my part resulted in a nonsense
result being returned in this case. I have adopted the same pattern for
handling this case as is used in the one argument form of the function,
i.e. we just skip over the code that adds values to the object.

This will parse strings in the format produced by pg_size_pretty() and
