Commit 7c15cef86d changed sql_identifier data type to be based on name
instead of varchar. Unfortunately, this breaks on-disk format for this
data type. Luckily, that should be a very rare problem, as this data
type is used only in information_schema views, so this only affects user
objects (tables, materialized views and indexes). One way to end in
such situation is to do CTAS with a query on those system views.
There are two options to deal with this - we can either abort pg_upgrade
if there are user objects with sql_identifier columns in pg_upgrade, or
we could replace the sql_identifier type with varchar. Considering how
rare the issue is expected to be, and the complexity of replacing the
data type (e.g. in matviews), we've decided to go with the simple check.
The query is somewhat complex - the sql_identifier data type may be used
indirectly - through a domain, a composite type or both, possibly in
multiple levels. Detecting this requires a recursive CTE.
Backpatch to 12, where the sql_identifier definition changed.

POSIX sigaction(2) can be told to block a set of signals while a
signal handler executes. Make use of that instead of manually
blocking and unblocking signals in the postmaster's signal handlers.
This should save a few cycles, and it also prevents recursive
invocation of signal handlers when many signals arrive in close
succession. We have seen buildfarm failures that seem to be due to
postmaster stack overflow caused by such recursion (exacerbated by
a Linux PPC64 kernel bug).
This doesn't change anything about the way that it works on Windows.
Somebody might consider adjusting port/win32/signal.c to let it work
similarly, but I'm not in a position to do that.

When dropping a column on a partitioned table which has one or more
partitioned indexes, the operation was failing as dependencies with
partitioned indexes using the column dropped were not getting removed in
a way consistent with the columns involved across all the relations part
of an inheritance tree.
This commit refactors the code executing column drop so as all the
columns from an inheritance tree to remove are gathered first, and
dropped all at the end. This way, we let the dependency machinery sort
out by itself the deletion of all the columns with the partitioned
indexes across a partition tree.

This reverts commit f7ab80285. Per discussion, we can't remove an
exported symbol without a SONAME bump, which we don't want to do.
In particular that breaks usage of current libpq.so with pre-9.3
versions of psql etc, which need libpq to export pqsignal().
As noted in that commit message, exporting the symbol from libpgport.a
won't work reliably; but actually we don't want to export src/port's
implementation anyway. Any pre-9.3 client is going to be expecting the
definition that pqsignal() had before 9.3, which was that it didn't
set SA_RESTART for SIGALRM. Hence, put back pqsignal() in a separate
source file in src/interfaces/libpq, and give it the old semantics.

The postmaster's code path for spawning a bgworker neglected to check
whether we already have the max number of live child processes. That's
a bit hard to hit, since it would necessarily be a transient condition;
but if we do, AssignPostmasterChildSlot() fails causing a postmaster
crash, as seen in a report from Bhargav Kamineni.
To fix, invoke canAcceptConnections() in the bgworker code path, as we
do in the other code paths that spawn children. Since we don't want
the same pmState tests in this case, add a child-process-type parameter
to canAcceptConnections() so that it can know what to do.
Back-patch to 9.5. In principle the same hazard exists in 9.4, but the

Commit 1cff1b95a included some code that supposed it could repalloc()
a memory chunk to a smaller size without risk of the chunk moving.
That was not a great idea, because it depended on undocumented behavior
of AllocSetRealloc, which commit c477f3e44 changed thereby breaking it.
(Not to mention that this code ought to work with other memory context
types, which might not work the same...) So get rid of the repalloc
calls, and instead just wipe the now-unused ListCell array and/or tell
Valgrind it's NOACCESS, as if we'd freed it.
In cases where the initial list allocation had been quite large, this
could represent an annoying waste of space. In principle we could
ameliorate that by allocating the initial cell array separately when
it exceeds some threshold. But that would complicate new_list() which
is hot code, and the returns would materialize only in narrow cases.
On balance I don't think it'd be worth it.

Backpatch: 9.6-, the earliest these tests work
When ExecBRUpdateTriggers()'s GetTupleForTrigger() follows an EPQ
chain the former needs to run the result tuple through the junkfilter
again, and update the slot containing the new version of the tuple to
contain that new version. The input tuple may already be in the
junkfilter's output slot, which used to be OK - we don't need the
previous version anymore. Unfortunately ff11e7f4b9 started to use
ExecCopySlot() to update newslot, and ExecCopySlot() doesn't support
copying a slot into itself, leading to a slot in a corrupt
state, which then can cause crashes or other symptoms.
Fix this by skipping the ExecCopySlot() when copying into itself.
While we could have easily made ExecCopySlot() handle that case, it
seems better to add an assert forbidding doing so instead. As the goal
of copying might be to make the contents of one slot independent from
another, it seems failure prone to handle doing so silently.
A follow-up commit will add tests for the obviously under-covered
combination of EPQ and triggers. Done as a separate commit as it might
make sense to backpatch them further than this bug.
Also remove confusion with confusing variable names for slots in
ExecBRDeleteTriggers() and ExecBRUpdateTriggers().

Commit 5dd7fc1519 added block-level memory accounting, but used int64 variable to
track the amount of allocated memory. That is incorrect, because we have Size for
exactly these purposes, but it was mostly harmless until c477f3e449 which changed
how we handle with repalloc() when downsizing the chunk. Previously we've ignored
these cases and just kept using the original chunk, but now we need to update the
accounting, and the code was doing this:
context->mem_allocated += blksize - oldblksize;
Both blksize and oldblksize are Size (so unsigned) which means the subtraction
underflows, producing a very high positive value. On 64-bit platforms (where Size
has the same size as mem_alllocated) this happens to work because the result wraps
to the right value, but on (some) 32-bit platforms this fails.
This fixes two things - it changes mem_allocated (and related variables) to Size,
and it splits the update to two separate steps, to prevent any underflows.

Encoding conversion uses the very simplistic rule that the output
can't be more than 4X longer than the input, and palloc's a buffer
of that size. This results in failure to convert any string longer
than 1/4 GB, which is becoming an annoying limitation.
As a band-aid to improve matters, allow the allocated output buffer
size to exceed 1GB. We still insist that the final result fit into
MaxAllocSize (1GB), though. Perhaps it'd be safe to relax that
restriction, but it'd require close analysis of all callers, which
is daunting (not least because external modules might call these
functions). For the moment, this should allow a 2X to 4X improvement
in the longest string we can convert, which is a useful gain in
return for quite a simple patch.
Also, once we have successfully converted a long string, repalloc
the output down to the actual string length, returning the excess
to the malloc pool. This seems worth doing since we can usually
expect to give back several MB if we take this path at all.
This still leaves much to be desired, most notably that the assumption
that MAX_CONVERSION_GROWTH == 4 is very fragile, and yet we have no
guard code verifying that the output buffer isn't overrun. Fixing
that would require significant changes in the encoding conversion
APIs, so it'll have to wait for some other day.
The present patch seems safely back-patchable, so patch all supported
branches.

Up to now, if you resized a large (>8K) palloc chunk down to a smaller
size, aset.c made no attempt to return any space to the malloc pool.
That's unpleasant if a really large allocation is resized to a
significantly smaller size. I think no such cases existed when this
code was designed, and I'm not sure whether they're common even yet,
but an upcoming fix to encoding conversion will certainly create such
cases. Therefore, fix AllocSetRealloc so that it gives realloc()
a chance to do something with the block. This doesn't noticeably
increase complexity, we mostly just have to change the order in which
the cases are considered.
