When building statistics, we need to decide how many rows to sample and
how accurate the resulting statistics should be. Until now, it was not
possible to explicitly define statistics target for extended statistics
objects, the value was always computed from the per-attribute targets
with a fallback to the system-wide default statistics target.
That's a bit inconvenient, as it ties together the statistics target set
for per-column and extended statistics. In some cases it may be useful
to require larger sample / higher accuracy for extended statics (or the
other way around), but with this approach that's not possible.
So this commit introduces a new command, allowing to specify statistics
target for individual extended statistics objects, overriding the value
derived from per-attribute targets (and the system default).
ALTER STATISTICS stat_name SET STATISTICS target_value;
When determining statistics target for an extended statistics object we
first look at this explicitly set value. When this value is -1, we fall
back to the old formula, looking at the per-attribute targets first and
then the system default. This means the behavior is backwards compatible
with older PostgreSQL releases.

Since the addition of fsync requests in bc34223 to make base backup data
consistent on disk once pg_basebackup finishes, each tablespace tar file
is individually flushed once completed, with an additional flush of the
parent directory when the base backup finishes. While holding a
connection to the server, a fsync request taking a long time may cause a
failure of the base backup, which is annoying for any integration. A
recent example of breakage can involve tcp_user_timeout, but
wal_sender_timeout can cause similar problems.
While reviewing the code, there was a second issue causing too many
fsync requests to be done for the same WAL data. As recursive fsyncs
are done at the end of the backup for both the plain and tar formats
from the base target directory where everything is written, it is fine
to disable fsyncs when fetching or streaming WAL.

After an unexpected connection loss and successful reconnection,
psql neglected to resynchronize its internal state about the server,
such as server version. Ordinarily we'd be reconnecting to the same
server and so this isn't really necessary, but there are scenarios
where we do need to update --- one example is where we have a list
of possible connection targets and they're not all alike.
Define "resynchronize" as including connection_warnings(), so that
this case acts the same as \connect. This seems useful; for example,
if the server version did change, the user might wish to know that.
An attuned user might also notice that the new connection isn't
SSL-encrypted, for example, though this approach isn't especially
in-your-face about such changes. Although this part is a behavioral
change, it only affects interactive sessions, so it should not break
any applications.
Also, in do_connect, make sure that we desynchronize correctly when
abandoning an old connection in non-interactive mode.
These problems evidently are the result of people patching only one
of the two places where psql deals with connection changes, so insert
some cross-referencing comments in hopes of forestalling future bugs
of the same ilk.
Lastly, in Windows builds, issue codepage mismatch warnings only at
startup, not during reconnections. psql's codepage can't change
during a reconnect, so complaining about it again seems like useless
noise.

In this case, the transfer uses a libpq connection, which is subject to
the timeout parameters set at system level, and this can make the rewind
operation suddenly canceled which is not good for automation. One
workaround to such issues would be to use PGOPTIONS to enforce the
wanted timeout parameters, but that's annoying, and for example pg_dump,
which can run potentially long-running queries disables all types of
timeouts.
lock_timeout and statement_timeout are the ones which can cause problems
now. Note that pg_rewind does not use transactions, so disabling
idle_in_transaction_session_timeout is optional, but it feels safer to
do so for the future.
This is back-patched down to 9.5. idle_in_transaction_session_timeout
is only present since 9.6.

FD_SETSIZE is included in sys/select.h per POSIX, and this header
inclusion has been moved to scripts_parallel.c as of 5f38403 without
moving the variable, causing a compilation failure on recent versions of
OpenBSD (6.6 was the version used in the report).
In order to take care of the failure, move FD_SETSIZE directly to
scripts_parallel.c with a wrapper controlling the maximum number of
parallel slots supported, based on a suggestion by Andres Freund.
While on it, reduce the maximum number to be less than FD_SETSIZE,
leaving some room for stdin, stdout and such as they consume some file

Since pg_dump doesn't treat the member operators and functions of operator
classes/families (that is, the pg_amop and pg_amproc entries, not the
underlying operators/functions) as separate dumpable objects, it missed
their dependency information. I think this was safe when the code was
designed, because the default object sorting rule emits operators and
functions before opclasses, and there were no dependency types that could
mess that up. However, the introduction of range types in 9.2 broke it:
now a type can have a dependency on an opclass, allowing dependency rules
to push the opclass before the type and hence before custom operators.
Lacking any information showing that it shouldn't do so, pg_dump emitted
the objects in the wrong order.
Fix by teaching getDependencies() to translate pg_depend entries for
pg_amop/amproc rows to look like dependencies for their parent opfamily.
I added a regression test for this in HEAD/v12, but not further back;
life is too short to fight with 002_pg_dump.pl.

When building a list of relations for a parallel processing of a schema
or a database (or just a single-entry list for the non-parallel case
with the database name), the list is allocated and built on-the-fly for
each database processed, leaking after one database-level reindex is
done. This accumulates leaks when processing all databases, and could
become a visible issue with thousands of relations.
This is fixed by introducing a new routine in simple_list.c to free all
the elements in a simple list made of strings or OIDs. The header of
the list may be using a variable declaration or an allocated pointer,
so we don't have a routine to free this part to keep the interface
simple.
Per report from coverity for an issue introduced by 5ab892c, and
valgrind complains about the leak as well. The idea to introduce a new
routine in simple_list.c is from Tom Lane.

This new option is not compatible with --system as reindexing system

Make the directory where the pg_upgrade binary resides the default for
new bindir, as running the pg_upgrade binary from where the new
cluster is installed is a very common scenario. Setting this as the
defauly bindir for the new cluster will remove the need to provide it
explicitly via -B in many cases.
To support directories being missing from option parsing, extend the
directory check with a missingOk mode where the path must be filled at
a later point before being used. Also move the exec_path check to
earlier in setup to make sure we know the new cluster bindir when we
scan for required executables.
This removes the exec_path from the OSInfo struct as it is not used

Some platforms create a file named "localtime" in the system
timezone directory, making it a copy or link to the active time
zone file. If Postgres is built with --with-system-tzdata, initdb
will see that file as an exact match to localtime(3)'s behavior,
and it may decide that "localtime" is the most preferred spelling of
the active zone. That's a very bad choice though, because it's
neither informative, nor portable, nor stable if someone changes
the system timezone setting. Extend the preference logic added by
commit e3846a00c so that we will prefer any other zone file that
matches localtime's behavior over "localtime".
On the same logic, also discriminate against "posixrules", which
is another not-really-a-zone file that is often present in the
timezone directory. (Since we install "posixrules" but not
"localtime", this change can affect the behavior of Postgres
with or without --with-system-tzdata.)
Note that this change doesn't prevent anyone from choosing these
pseudo-zones if they really want to (i.e., by setting TZ for initdb,
or modifying the timezone GUC later on). It just prevents initdb
from preferring these zone names when there are multiple matches to
localtime's behavior.
Since we generally prefer to keep timezone-related behavior the
same in all branches, and since this is arguably a bug fix,

libpq failed to ignore Windows-style newlines in connection service files.
This normally wasn't a problem on Windows itself, because fgets() would
convert \r\n to just \n. But if libpq were running inside a program that
changes the default fopen mode to binary, it would see the \r's and think
they were data. In any case, it's project policy to ignore \r in text
files unconditionally, because people sometimes try to use files with
DOS-style newlines on Unix machines, where the C library won't hide that
from us.
Hence, adjust parseServiceFile() to ignore \r as well as \n at the end of
the line. In HEAD, go a little further and make it ignore all trailing
whitespace, to match what it's always done with leading whitespace.
In HEAD, also run around and fix up everyplace where we have
newline-chomping code to make all those places look consistent and
uniformly drop \r. It is not clear whether any of those changes are
fixing live bugs. Most of the non-cosmetic changes are in places that
are reading popen output, and the jury is still out as to whether popen
on Windows can return \r\n. (The Windows-specific code in pipe_read_line
seems to think so, but our lack of support for this elsewhere suggests
maybe it's not a problem in practice.) Hence, I desisted from applying
those changes to back branches, except in run_ssl_passphrase_command()

heard about any problems there.

describeOneTableDetails issued a partition-constraint-fetching query
for every table, even ones it knows perfectly well are not partitions.
To add insult to injury, it then proceeded to leak the empty PGresult
if the table wasn't a partition. Doing that a lot of times might
amount to a meaningful leak, so this seems like a back-patchable bug.
Fix that, and also fix a related PGresult leak in the partition-parent
case (though that leak would occur only if we got no row, which is
unexpected).
Minor code beautification too, to make this code look more like the
pre-existing code around it.
Back-patch the whole change into v12. However, the fact that we already
know whether the table is a partition dates only to commit 1af25ca0c;
back-patching the relevant changes from that is probably more churn
than is justified in released branches. Hence, in v11 and v10, just
do the minimum to fix the PGresult leaks.
