Move Perl test modules to a better namespace
The five modules in our TAP test framework all had names in the top
level namespace. This is unwise because, even though we're not
exporting them to CPAN, the names can leak, for example if they are
exported by the RPM build process. We therefore move the modules to the
PostgreSQL::Test namespace. In the process PostgresNode is renamed to
Cluster, and TestLib is renamed to Utils. PostgresVersion becomes simply
PostgreSQL::Version, to avoid possible confusion about what it's the
version of.

58cd8dca3d Avoid redundantly prefixing PQerrorMessage for a connection failure.
libpq's error messages for connection failures pretty well stand on
their own, especially since commits 52a10224e/27a48e5a1.  Prefixing
them with 'could not connect to database "foo"' or the like is just
redundant, and perhaps even misleading if the specific database name
isn't relevant to the failure.  (When it is, we trust that the
backend's error message will include the DB name.)  Indeed, psql
hasn't used any such prefix in a long time.  So, make all our other
programs and documentation examples agree with psql's practice.

67a472d71c Remove arbitrary restrictions on password length.
This patch started out with the goal of harmonizing various arbitrary
limits on password length, but after awhile a better idea emerged:
let's just get rid of those fixed limits.

recv_password_packet() has an arbitrary limit on the packet size,
which we don't really need, so just drop it.  (Note that this doesn't
really affect anything for MD5 or SCRAM password verification, since
those will hash the user's password to something shorter anyway.
It does matter for auth methods that require a cleartext password.)

Likewise remove the arbitrary error condition in pg_saslprep().

The remaining limits are mostly in client-side code that prompts
for passwords.  To improve those, refactor simple_prompt() so that
it allocates its own result buffer that can be made as big as
necessary.  Actually, it proves best to make a separate routine
pg_get_line() that has essentially the semantics of fgets(), except
that it allocates a suitable result buffer and hence will never
return a truncated line.  (pg_get_line has a lot of potential
applications to replace randomly-sized fgets buffers elsewhere,
but I'll leave that for another patch.)

I built pg_get_line() atop stringinfo.c, which requires moving
that code to src/common/; but that seems fine since it was a poor
fit for src/port/ anyway.

This patch is mostly mine, but it owes a good deal to Nathan Bossart
who pressed for a solution to the password length problem and
created a predecessor patch.  Also thanks to Peter Eisentraut and
Stephen Frost for ideas and discussion.

c9d2977519 Clean up newlines following left parentheses
We used to strategically place newlines after some function call left
parentheses to make pgindent move the argument list a few chars to the
left, so that the whole line would fit under 80 chars.  However,
pgindent no longer does that, so the newlines just made the code
vertically longer for no reason.  Remove those newlines, and reflow some
of those lines for some extra naturality.

01368e5d9d Split all OBJS style lines in makefiles into one-line-per-entry style.
When maintaining or merging patches, one of the most common sources
for conflicts are the list of objects in makefiles. Especially when
the split across lines has been changed on both sides, which is
somewhat common due to attempting to stay below 80 columns, those
conflicts are unnecessarily laborious to resolve.

By splitting, and alphabetically sorting, OBJS style lines into one
object per line, conflicts should be less frequent, and easier to
resolve when they still occur.

7e735035f2 Make the order of the header file includes consistent in contrib modules.
The basic rule we follow here is to always first include 'postgres.h' or
'postgres_fe.h' whichever is applicable, then system header includes and
then Postgres header includes.  In this, we also follow that all the
Postgres header includes are in order based on their ASCII value.  We
generally follow these rules, but the code has deviated in many places.
This commit makes it consistent just for contrib modules.  The later
commits will enforce similar rules in other parts of code.

dddfc4cb2e Prevent accidental linking of system-supplied copies of libpq.so etc.
We were being careless in some places about the order of -L switches in
link command lines, such that -L switches referring to external directories
could come before those referring to directories within the build tree.
This made it possible to accidentally link a system-supplied library, for
example /usr/lib/libpq.so, in place of the one built in the build tree.
Hilarity ensued, the more so the older the system-supplied library is.

To fix, break LDFLAGS into two parts, a sub-variable LDFLAGS_INTERNAL
and the main LDFLAGS variable, both of which are "recursively expanded"
so that they can be incrementally adjusted by different makefiles.
Establish a policy that -L switches for directories in the build tree
must always be added to LDFLAGS_INTERNAL, while -L switches for external
directories must always be added to LDFLAGS.  This is sufficient to
ensure a safe search order.  For simplicity, we typically also put -l
switches for the respective libraries into those same variables.
(Traditional make usage would have us put -l switches into LIBS, but
cleaning that up is a project for another day, as there's no clear
need for it.)

This turns out to also require separating SHLIB_LINK into two variables,
SHLIB_LINK and SHLIB_LINK_INTERNAL, with a similar rule about which
switches go into which variable.  And likewise for PG_LIBS.

Although this change might appear to affect external users of pgxs.mk,
I think it doesn't; they shouldn't have any need to touch the _INTERNAL
variables.

In passing, tweak src/common/Makefile so that the value of CPPFLAGS
recorded in pg_config lacks "-DFRONTEND" and the recorded value of
LDFLAGS lacks "-L../../../src/common".  Both of those things are
mistakes, apparently introduced during prior code rearrangements,
as old versions of pg_config don't print them.  In general we don't
want anything that's specific to the src/common subdirectory to
appear in those outputs.

This is certainly a bug fix, but in view of the lack of field
complaints, I'm unsure whether it's worth the risk of back-patching.
In any case it seems wise to see what the buildfarm makes of it first.

582edc369c Empty search_path in Autovacuum and non-psql/pgbench clients.
This makes the client programs behave as documented regardless of the
connect-time search_path and regardless of user-created objects.  Today,
a malicious user with CREATE permission on a search_path schema can take
control of certain of these clients' queries and invoke arbitrary SQL
functions under the client identity, often a superuser.  This is
exploitable in the default configuration, where all users have CREATE
privilege on schema "public".

This changes behavior of user-defined code stored in the database, like
pg_index.indexprs and pg_extension_config_dump().  If they reach code
bearing unqualified names, "does not exist" or "no schema has been
selected to create in" errors might appear.  Users may fix such errors
by schema-qualifying affected names.  After upgrading, consider watching
server logs for these errors.

The --table arguments of src/bin/scripts clients have been lax; for
example, "vacuumdb -Zt pg_am\;CHECKPOINT" performed a checkpoint.  That
now fails, but for now, "vacuumdb -Zt 'pg_am(amname);CHECKPOINT'" still
performs a checkpoint.

Back-patch to 9.3 (all supported versions).

382ceffdf7 Phase 3 of pgindent updates.
Don't move parenthesized lines to the left, even if that means they
flow past the right margin.

By default, BSD indent lines up statement continuation lines that are
within parentheses so that they start just to the right of the preceding
left parenthesis.  However, traditionally, if that resulted in the
continuation line extending to the right of the desired right margin,
then indent would push it left just far enough to not overrun the margin,
if it could do so without making the continuation line start to the left of
the current statement indent.  That makes for a weird mix of indentations
unless one has been completely rigid about never violating the 80-column
limit.

This behavior has been pretty universally panned by Postgres developers.
Hence, disable it with indent's new -lpl switch, so that parenthesized
lines are always lined up with the preceding left paren.

This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent
changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.

e3860ffa4d Initial pgindent run with pg_bsd_indent version 2.0.
The new indent version includes numerous fixes thanks to Piotr Stefaniak.
The main changes visible in this commit are:

* Nicer formatting of function-pointer declarations.
* No longer unexpectedly removes spaces in expressions using casts,
  sizeof, or offsetof.
* No longer wants to add a space in "struct structname *varname", as
  well as some similar cases for const- or volatile-qualified pointers.
* Declarations using PG_USED_FOR_ASSERTS_ONLY are formatted more nicely.
* Fixes bug where comments following declarations were sometimes placed
  with no space separating them from the code.
* Fixes some odd decisions for comments following case labels.
* Fixes some cases where comments following code were indented to less
  than the expected column 33.

On the less good side, it now tends to put more whitespace around typedef
names that are not listed in typedefs.list.  This might encourage us to
put more effort into typedef name collection; it's not really a bug in
indent itself.

There are more changes coming after this round, having to do with comment
indentation and alignment of lines appearing within parentheses.  I wanted
to limit the size of the diffs to something that could be reviewed without
one's eyes completely glazing over, so it seemed better to split up the
changes as much as practical.

9daec77e16 Simplify correct use of simple_prompt().
The previous API for this function had it returning a malloc'd string.
That meant that callers had to check for NULL return, which few of them
were doing, and it also meant that callers had to remember to free()
the string later, which required extra logic in most cases.

Instead, make simple_prompt() write into a buffer supplied by the caller.
Anywhere that the maximum required input length is reasonably small,
which is almost all of the callers, we can just use a local or static
array as the buffer instead of dealing with malloc/free.

A fair number of callers used "pointer == NULL" as a proxy for "haven't
requested the password yet".  Maintaining the same behavior requires
adding a separate boolean flag for that, which adds back some of the
complexity we save by removing free()s.  Nonetheless, this nets out
at a small reduction in overall code size, and considerably less code
than we would have had if we'd added the missing NULL-return checks
everywhere they were needed.

In passing, clean up the API comment for simple_prompt() and get rid
of a very-unnecessary malloc/free in its Windows code path.

This is nominally a bug fix, but it does not seem worth back-patching,
because the actual risk of an OOM failure in any of these places seems
pretty tiny, and all of them are client-side not server-side anyway.

This patch is by me, but it owes a great deal to Michael Paquier
who identified the problem and drafted a patch for fixing it the
other way.

This is a minimal implementation, but should still be useful in
many cases.  Currently data is only populated "on demand" by the
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW and REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW statements.
It is expected that future releases will add incremental updates
with various timings, and that a more refined concept of defining
what is "fresh" data will be developed.  At some point it may even
be possible to have queries use a materialized in place of
references to underlying tables, but that requires the other

8396447cdb Create libpgcommon, and move pg_malloc et al to it
libpgcommon is a new static library to allow sharing code among the
various frontend programs and backend; this lets us eliminate duplicate
implementations of common routines.  We avoid libpgport, because that's
intended as a place for porting issues; per discussion, it seems better
to keep them separate.

The first use case, and the only implemented by this patch, is pg_malloc
and friends, which many frontend programs were already using.

At the same time, we can use this to provide palloc emulation functions
for the frontend; this way, some palloc-using files in the backend can
also be used by the frontend cleanly.  To do this, we change palloc() in
the backend to be a function instead of a macro on top of
MemoryContextAlloc().  This was previously believed to cause loss of
performance, but this implementation has been tweaked by Tom and Andres
so that on modern compilers it provides a slight improvement over the
previous one.

This lets us clean up some places that were already with
localized hacks.

Most of the pg_malloc/palloc changes in this patch were authored by
Andres Freund. Zoltán Böszörményi also independently provided a form of
that.  libpgcommon infrastructure was authored by Álvaro.

09ac603c36 Work around unportable behavior of malloc(0) and realloc(NULL, 0).
On some platforms these functions return NULL, rather than the more common
practice of returning a pointer to a zero-sized block of memory.  Hack our
various wrapper functions to hide the difference by substituting a size
request of 1.  This is probably not so important for the callers, who
should never touch the block anyway if they asked for size 0 --- but it's
important for the wrapper functions themselves, which mistakenly treated
the NULL result as an out-of-memory failure.  This broke at least pg_dump
for the case of no user-defined aggregates, as per report from
Matthew Carrington.

Back-patch to 9.2 to fix the pg_dump issue.  Given the lack of previous
complaints, it seems likely that there is no live bug in previous releases,
even though some of these functions were in place before that.

a563d94180 Standardize naming of malloc/realloc/strdup wrapper functions.
We had a number of variants on the theme of "malloc or die", with the
majority named like "pg_malloc", but by no means all.  Standardize on the
names pg_malloc, pg_malloc0, pg_realloc, pg_strdup.  Get rid of pg_calloc
entirely in favor of using pg_malloc0.

This is an essentially cosmetic change, so no back-patch.  (I did find
a couple of places where psql and pg_dump were using plain malloc or
strdup instead of the pg_ versions, but they don't look significant
enough to bother back-patching.)

bb7520cc26 Make documentation of --help and --version options more consistent
Before, some places didn't document the short options (-? and -V),
some documented both, some documented nothing, and they were listed in
various orders.  Now this is hopefully more consistent and complete.

b9b8831ad6 Create a "relation mapping" infrastructure to support changing the relfilenodes
of shared or nailed system catalogs.  This has two key benefits:

* The new CLUSTER-based VACUUM FULL can be applied safely to all catalogs.

* We no longer have to use an unsafe reindex-in-place approach for reindexing
  shared catalogs.

CLUSTER on nailed catalogs now works too, although I left it disabled on
shared catalogs because the resulting pg_index.indisclustered update would
only be visible in one database.

Since reindexing shared system catalogs is now fully transactional and
crash-safe, the former special cases in REINDEX behavior have been removed;
shared catalogs are treated the same as non-shared.

This commit does not do anything about the recently-discussed problem of
deadlocks between VACUUM FULL/CLUSTER on a system catalog and other
concurrent queries; will address that in a separate patch.  As a stopgap,
parallel_schedule has been tweaked to run vacuum.sql by itself, to avoid
such failures during the regression tests.

4192f2d85a Remove the -P options of oid2name and pgbench, as they are security
hazards.  Instead teach these programs to prompt for a password when
necessary, just like all our other programs.
I did not bother to invent -W switches for them, since the return on
investment seems so low.
