Tom Lane 0b81c7c417 Remove obsolete claim that gzip is needed while installing PG's documentation. 
It isn't, now that we ship the docs as loose files rather than a sub-tarball.

Also adjust the wording in a couple of places to make the lists of required
software read more consistently.

Tom Lane 303696c3b4 Install a data-type-based solution for protecting pg_get_expr(). 
Since the code underlying pg_get_expr() is not secure against malformed
input, and can't practically be made so, we need to prevent miscreants
from feeding arbitrary data to it.  We can do this securely by declaring
pg_get_expr() to take a new datatype "pg_node_tree" and declaring the
system catalog columns that hold nodeToString output to be of that type.
There is no way at SQL level to create a non-null value of type pg_node_tree.
Since the backend-internal operations that fill those catalog columns
operate below the SQL level, they are oblivious to the datatype relabeling
and don't need any changes.

Tom Lane 73b3bd5574 Document the existence of the socket lock file under unix_socket_directory, 
which is perhaps not a terribly good spot for it but there doesn't seem to be
a better place.  Also add a source-code comment pointing out a couple reasons
for having a separate lock file.  Per suggestion from Greg Smith.

Per Thom Brown.

Tom Lane 79dc97a401 Bring some sanity to the trace_recovery_messages code and docs. 
Per gripe from Fujii Masao, though this is not exactly his proposed patch.
Categorize as DEVELOPER_OPTIONS and set context PGC_SIGHUP, as per Fujii,
but set the default to LOG because higher values aren't really sensible
(see the code for trace_recovery()).  Fix the documentation to agree with
the code and to try to explain what the variable actually does.  Get rid
of no-op calls trace_recovery(LOG), which accomplish nothing except to
demonstrate that this option confuses even its author.
