9a20a9b2 added a new elog(), enabled when WAL_DEBUG is defined. The
other WAL_DEBUG dependant messages check for the wal_debug GUC, but this
one did not. While at it replace 'upto' with 'up to'.
Discussion: 20150610110253.GF3832@alap3.anarazel.de
Backpatch to 9.4, the first release containing 9a20a9b2.
POSIX permits setlocale() calls to invalidate any previous setlocale()
return values, but commit 5f538ad004
neglected to account for setlocale(LC_CTYPE, NULL) doing so. The effect
was to set the LC_CTYPE environment variable to an unintended value.
pg_perm_setlocale() sets this variable to assist PL/Perl; without it,
Perl would undo PostgreSQL's locale settings. The known-affected
configurations are 32-bit, release builds using Visual Studio 2012 or
Visual Studio 2013. Visual Studio 2010 is unaffected, as were all
buildfarm-attested configurations. In principle, this bug could leave
the wrong LC_CTYPE in effect after PL/Perl use, which could in turn
facilitate problems like corrupt tsvector datums. No known platform
experiences that consequence, because PL/Perl on Windows does not use
this environment variable.
The bug has been user-visible, as early postmaster failure, on systems
with Windows ANSI code page set to CP936 for "Chinese (Simplified, PRC)"
and probably on systems using other multibyte code pages.
(SetEnvironmentVariable() rejects values containing character data not
valid under the Windows ANSI code page.) Back-patch to 9.4, where the
faulty commit first appeared.
Reported by Didi Hu and 林鹏程. Reviewed by Tom Lane, though this fix
strategy was not his first choice.
Some of the entries in the inclusion opclasses where missing operators,
and we had an entry for inet_inclusion_ops instead of
network_inclusion_ops. Sort the operators within each opclass by
strategy number, just to make it easier to spot mistakes.
Also sort the rows by data type name, rather than OID.
This adjusts commit 82233ce7ea so that the
postmaster does not exit until all its child processes have exited, even
if the 5-second timeout elapses and we have to send SIGKILL. There is no
great value in having the postmaster process quit sooner, and doing so can
mislead onlookers into thinking that the cluster is fully terminated when
actually some child processes still survive.
This effect might explain recent test failures on buildfarm member hamster,
wherein we failed to restart a cluster just after shutting it down with
"pg_ctl stop -m immediate".
I also did a bit of code review/beautification, including fixing a faulty
use of the Max() macro on a volatile expression.
Back-patch to 9.4. In older branches, the postmaster never waited for
children to exit during immediate shutdowns, and changing that would be
too much of a behavioral change.
This avoids the problem that it might go to sleep for an unreasonable
amount of time in unusual conditions like the server clock moving
backwards an unreasonable amount of time.
(Simply moving the server clock forward again doesn't solve the problem
unless you wake up the autovacuum launcher manually, say by sending it
SIGHUP).

Since find_multixact_start() relies on SimpleLruDoesPhysicalPageExist(),
and that function looks only at the on-disk state, it's possible for it
to fail to find a page that exists in the in-memory SLRU that has not
been written yet. If that happens, SetOffsetVacuumLimit() will
erroneously decide to force emergency autovacuuming immediately.
We should probably fix find_multixact_start() to consider the data
cached in memory as well as on the on-disk state, but that's no excuse
for SetOffsetVacuumLimit() to be stupid about the case where it can
no longer read the value after having previously succeeded in doing so.

POSIX permits setlocale() calls to invalidate any previous setlocale()
return values. Commit 5f538ad004
neglected to account for that. In advance of fixing that bug, switch to
failing hard on affected configurations. This is a planned temporary
commit to assay buildfarm-represented configurations.
jsonb_set() and other clients of the setPathArray() utility function
could get spurious results when an array integer subscript is provided
that is not within the range of int.
To fix, ensure that the value returned by strtol() within setPathArray()
is within the range of int; when it isn't, assume an invalid input in
line with existing, similar cases. The path-orientated operators that
appeared in PostgreSQL 9.3 and 9.4 do not call setPathArray(), and
already independently take this precaution, so no change there.

In commit 9e3ad1aac5 I modified plpgsql
to use exec_stmt_return's simple-variables fast path in more cases.
However, I overlooked that there are really two different return
conventions in use here, depending on whether estate->retistuple is true,
and the existing fast-path code had only bothered to handle one of them.
So trying to return a scalar in a function returning composite, or vice
versa, could lead to unexpected error messages (typically "cache lookup
failed for type 0") or to a null-pointer-dereference crash.
In the DTYPE_VAR case, we can just throw error if retistuple is true,
corresponding to what happens in the general-expression code path that was
being used previously. (Perhaps someday both of these code paths should
attempt a coercion, but today is not that day.)
In the REC and ROW cases, just hand the problem to exec_eval_datum()
when not retistuple. Also clean up the ROW coding slightly so it looks
more like exec_eval_datum().
The previous commit also caused exec_stmt_return_next() to be used in
more cases, but that code seems to be OK as-is.
Per off-list report from Serge Rielau. This bug is new in 9.5 so no need
to back-patch.
We already tried to improve this once, but the "improved" text was rather
off-target if you had provided a USING clause. Also, it seems helpful
to provide the exact text of a suggested USING clause, so users can just
copy-and-paste it when needed. Per complaint from Keith Rarick and a
suggestion from Merlin Moncure.
Back-patch to 9.2 where the current wording was adopted.
After the archiver dies, postmaster tries to start a new one immediately.
But previously this could happen only while server was running normally
even though archiving was enabled always (i.e., archive_mode was set to
always). So the archiver running during recovery could not restart soon
after it died. This is an oversight in commit ffd3774.
This commit changes reaper(), postmaster's signal handler to cleanup
after a child process dies, so that it tries to a new archiver even during
recovery if necessary.
Patch by me. Review by Alvaro Herrera.
System catalogs and views should be listed alphabetically
in catalog.sgml, but only pg_file_settings view not.
This patch also fixes typos in pg_file_settings comments.
RMGRDESCSOURCES is defined and used only in pg_xlogdump Makefile,
but pg_rewind Makefile mentioned it as extra files to remove in "make clean".
This patch removes that useless mention from pg_rewind Makefile.

Following recent discussion on -hackers. The underlying function is
also renamed to jsonb_delete_path. The regression tests now don't need
ugly type casts to avoid the ambiguity, so they are also removed.
Catalog version bumped.
* Remove invalid option character "N" from the third argument (valid option
string) of getopt_long().
* Use pg_free() or pfree() to free the memory allocated by pg_malloc() or
palloc() instead of always using free().
* Assume problem is no disk space if write() fails but doesn't set errno.
* Fix several typos.
