This introduces a new generic SASL authentication method, similar to the
GSS and SSPI methods. The server first tells the client which SASL
authentication mechanism to use, and then the mechanism-specific SASL
messages are exchanged in AuthenticationSASLcontinue and PasswordMessage
messages. Only SCRAM-SHA-256 is supported at the moment, but this allows
adding more SASL mechanisms in the future, without changing the overall
protocol.
Support for channel binding, aka SCRAM-SHA-256-PLUS is left for later.
The SASLPrep algorithm, for pre-processing the password, is not yet
implemented. That could cause trouble, if you use a password with
non-ASCII characters, and a client library that does implement SASLprep.
That will hopefully be added later.
Authorization identities, as specified in the SCRAM-SHA-256 specification,
are ignored. SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION provides more or less the same
functionality, anyway.
If a user doesn't exist, perform a "mock" authentication, by constructing
an authentic-looking challenge on the fly. The challenge is derived from
a new system-wide random value, "mock authentication nonce", which is
created at initdb, and stored in the control file. We go through these
motions, in order to not give away the information on whether the user
exists, to unauthenticated users.
Bumps PG_CONTROL_VERSION, because of the new field in control file.

pg_dump has always handled the public schema in a special way when it
comes to the "--clean" option. To wit, we do not drop or recreate the
public schema in "normal" mode, but when we are run in "--clean" mode
then we do drop and recreate the public schema.
When running in "--clean" mode, the public schema is dropped and then
recreated and it is recreated with the normal schema-default privileges
of "nothing". This is unlike how the public schema starts life, which
is to have CREATE and USAGE GRANT'd to the PUBLIC role, and that is what
is recorded in pg_init_privs.
Due to this, in "--clean" mode, pg_dump would mistakenly only dump out
the set of privileges required to go from the initdb-time privileges on
the public schema to whatever the current-state privileges are. If the
privileges were not changed from initdb time, then no privileges would
be dumped out for the public schema, but with the schema being dropped
and recreated, the result was that the public schema would have no ACLs
on it instead of what it should have, which is the initdb-time
privileges.
Practically speaking, this meant that pg_dump with --clean mode dumping
a database where the ACLs on the public schema were not changed from the
default would, upon restore, result in a public schema with *no*
privileges GRANT'd, not matching the state of the existing database
(where the initdb-time privileges would have been CREATE and USAGE to
the PUBLIC role for the public schema).
To fix, adjust the query in getNamespaces() to ignore the pg_init_privs
entry for the public schema when running in "--clean" mode, meaning that
the privileges for the public schema would be dumped, correctly, as if
it was going from a newly-created schema to the current state (which is,
indeed, what will happen during the restore thanks to the DROP/CREATE).
Only the public schema is handled in this special way by pg_dump, no
other initdb-time objects are dropped/recreated in --clean mode.
Back-patch to 9.6 where the bug was introduced.

We attached no schema label to comments for procedural languages, casts,
transforms, operator classes, operator families, or text search objects.
The first three categories of objects don't really have schemas, but
pg_dump treats them as if they do, and it seems like the TocEntry fields
for their comments had better match the TocEntry fields for the parent
objects. (As an example of a possible hazard, the type names in a CAST
will be formatted with the assumption of a particular search_path, so
failing to ensure that this same path is active for the COMMENT ON command
could lead to an error or to attaching the comment to the wrong cast.)
In the last six cases, this was a flat-out error --- possibly mine to
begin with, but it was a long time ago.
The security label for a procedural language was likewise not correctly
labeled as to schema, and both the comment and security label for a
procedural language were not correctly labeled as to owner.
In simple cases the restore would accidentally work correctly anyway, since
these comments and security labels would normally get emitted right after
the owning object, and so the search path and active user would be correct
anyhow. But it could fail in corner cases; for example a schema-selective
restore would omit comments it should include.
Giuseppe Broccolo noted the oversight, and proposed the correct fix, for
text search dictionary objects; I found the rest by cross-checking other
dumpComment() calls. These oversights are ancient, so back-patch all
the way.

Increase the size when either the distance between actual and optimal
slot grows too large, or when too many subsequent entries would have
to be moved.
This addresses reports that the simplehash performed, sometimes
considerably, worse than dynahash.
The reason turned out to be that insertions into the hashtable where,
due to the use of parallel query, in effect done from another
hashtable, in hash-value order. If the target hashtable, due to
mis-estimation, was sized a lot smaller than the source table(s) that
lead to very imbalanced tables; a lot of entries in many close-by
buckets from the source tables were inserted into a single, wider,
bucket on the target table. As the growth factor was solely computed
based on the fillfactor, the performance of the table decreased
further and further.
b81b5a96f4 was an attempt to address this problem for hash
aggregates (but not for bitmap scans), but it turns out that the
current method of mixing hash values often actually leaves neighboring
hash-values close to each other, just in different value range. It
might be worth revisiting that independently of the performance issues
addressed in this patch..
To address that problem resize tables in two additional cases: Firstly
when the optimal position for an entry would be far from the actual
position, secondly when many entries would have to be moved to make
space for the new entry (while satisfying the robin hood property).
Due to the additional resizing threshold it seems possible, and
testing confirms that so far, that a higher fillfactor doesn't hurt
performance and saves a bit of memory. It seems better to increase it
now, before a release containing any of this code, rather than wonder
in some later release.
The various boundaries aren't determined in a particularly scientific
manner, they might need some fine-tuning.
In all my tests the new code now, even with parallelism, performs at
least as good as the old code, in several scenarios significantly
better.

When performing a pg_upgrade, we copy the files behind pg_largeobject
and pg_largeobject_metadata, allowing us to avoid having to dump out and
reload the actual data for large objects and their ACLs.
Unfortunately, that isn't all of the information which can be associated
with large objects. Currently, we also support COMMENTs and SECURITY
LABELs with large objects and these were being silently dropped during a
pg_upgrade as pg_dump would skip everything having to do with a large
object and pg_upgrade only copied the tables mentioned to the new
cluster.
As the file copies happen after the catalog dump and reload, we can't
simply include the COMMENTs and SECURITY LABELs in pg_dump's binary-mode
output but we also have to include the actual large object definition as
well. With the definition, comments, and security labels in the pg_dump
output and the file copies performed by pg_upgrade, all of the data and
metadata associated with large objects is able to be successfully pulled
forward across a pg_upgrade.
In 9.6 and master, we can simply adjust the dump bitmask to indicate
which components we don't want. In 9.5 and earlier, we have to put
explciit checks in in dumpBlob() and dumpBlobs() to not include the ACL
or the data when in binary-upgrade mode.
Adjustments made to the privileges regression test to allow another test
(large_object.sql) to be added which explicitly leaves a large object
with a comment in place to provide coverage of that case with
pg_upgrade.
Back-patch to all supported branches.

With RLS active, "COPY tab TO ..." failed under -DRELCACHE_FORCE_RELEASE,
and would sometimes fail without that, because it used the relation name
directly from the relcache as part of the parsetree it's building. That
becomes a potentially-dangling pointer as soon as the relcache entry is
closed, a bit further down. Typical symptom if the relcache entry chanced
to get cleared would be "relation does not exist" error with a garbage
relation name, or possibly a core dump; but if you were really truly
unlucky, the COPY might copy from the wrong table.
Per report from Andrew Dunstan that regression tests fail with
-DRELCACHE_FORCE_RELEASE. The core tests now pass for me (but have
not tried "make check-world" yet).

The generic drop support already supported dropping multiple objects of
the same kind at once. But the previous representation
of function signatures across two grammar symbols and structure members
made this cumbersome to do for functions, so it was not supported. Now
that function signatures are represented by a single structure, it's
trivial to add this support. Same for aggregates and operators.

In simpler times, it might have worked to refer to all kinds of objects
by a list of name components and an optional argument list. But this
doesn't work for all objects, which has resulted in a collection of
hacks to place various other nodes types into these fields, which have
to be unpacked at the other end. This makes it also weird to represent
lists of such things in the grammar, because they would have to be lists
of singleton lists, to make the unpacking work consistently. The other
problem is that keeping separate name and args fields makes it awkward
to deal with lists of functions.
Change that by dropping the objargs field and have objname, renamed to
object, be a generic Node, which can then be flexibly assigned and
managed using the normal Node mechanisms. In many cases it will still
be a List of names, in some cases it will be a string Value, for types
it will be the existing Typename, for functions it will now use the
existing ObjectWithArgs node type. Some of the more obscure object
types still use somewhat arbitrary nested lists.

Patch by me.
They depend on backend-private state that will not be synchronized by
the parallel machinery, so they should not be marked parallel-safe.
This issue also exists in 9.6, but we obviously can't do anything
about 9.6 clusters that already exist. Possibly this could be
back-patched so that future 9.6 clusters would come out OK, or
possibly we should back-patch some other fix, but that would need more

This reliably fails with -DRELCACHE_FORCE_RELEASE, as reported by
Andrew Dunstan, and could sometimes fail in normal operation, resulting
in a wrong persistence value being used for the transient table.
It's not immediately clear to me what effects that might have beyond
the risk of a crash while accessing OldHeap->rd_rel->relpersistence,
but it's probably not good.
Bug introduced by commit f41872d0c, and made substantially worse by
commit 85b506bbf, which added a second such access significantly
later than the heap_close. I doubt the first reference could fail

Tom Lane observed buildfarm failures caused by the select_parallel
regression test trying to launch new parallel queries before the
worker slots used by the previous ones were freed. Try to fix this by
having the postmaster free the worker slots before it sends the
SIGUSR1 notifications to the registering process. This doesn't
completely eliminate the possibility that the user backend might
(correctly) observe the worker as dead before the slot is free, but I
believe it should make the window significantly narrower.
