Ordinarily, pg_upgrade shouldn't have any difficulty in matching up all
the relations it sees in the old and new databases. If it does, however,
it just goes belly-up with a pretty unhelpful error message. That seemed
fine as long as we expected the case never to occur in the wild, but
Alvaro reported that it had been seen in a database whose pg_largeobject
table had somehow acquired a TOAST table. That doesn't quite seem like
a case that pg_upgrade actually needs to handle, but it would be good if
the report were more diagnosable. Hence, extend the logic to print out
as much information as we can about the mismatch(es) before we quit.
In passing, improve the readability of get_rel_infos()'s data collection
query, which had suffered seriously from lets-not-bother-to-update-comments
syndrome, and generally was unnecessarily disrespectful to readers.
It could be argued that this is a bug fix, but given that we have so few
reports, I don't feel a need to back-patch; at least not before this has
baked awhile in HEAD.
This will prevent users from creating roles which begin with "pg_" and
will check for those roles before allowing an upgrade using pg_upgrade.
This will allow for default roles to be provided at initdb time.

Commit a892234f83 added a second bit per
page to the visibility map, but pg_upgrade has been unaware of it up
until now. Therefore, a pg_upgrade from an earlier major release of
PostgreSQL to any commit preceding this one and following the one
mentioned above would result in invalid visibility map contents on the
new cluster, very possibly leading to data corruption. This plugs
that hole.

We've not found a use for this so far, and the current need, which
is to convert the visibility map to a new format, does not suit the
existing design anyway. So just rip it out.

Suppress creation of the pg_upgrade delete script when the new data
directory is inside the old data directory.

NextXID has been rendered in the form of a pg_lsn even though it
really is not. This can cause confusion, so change the format from
%u/%u to %u:%u, per discussion on hackers.

As of commit d5563d7df, psql -c no longer implies -X, but not all of
our regression testing scripts had gotten that memo.
To ensure consistency of results across different developers, make
sure that *all* invocations of psql in all scripts in our tree
use -X, even where this is not what previously happened.

Also fix getErrorText() to return the right error string on failure.
This behavior now matches that of other operating systems.

pg_upgrade: reorder controldata checks to match program output

This setting contains extra configuration for the temp instance, as used
in pg_regress' --temp-config flag.
Backpatch to 9.2 where test.sh was introduced.
Modify pg_dump to restore postgres/template1 databases to non-default
tablespaces by switching out of the database to be moved, then switching
back.
Also, to fix potentially cases where the old/new tablespaces might not
match, fix pg_upgrade to process new/old tablespaces separately in all
cases.

POSIX does not specify the -q option, and many implementations do not
offer it. Don't bother changing the MSVC build system, because having
non-GNU diff on Windows is vanishingly unlikely. Back-patch to 9.2,
where this invocation was introduced.
SUSv2-era shells don't set the PWD variable, though anything more modern
does. In the buildfarm environment this could lead to test.sh executing
with PWD pointing to $HOME or another high-level directory, so that there
were conflicts between concurrent executions of the test in different
branch subdirectories. This appears to be the explanation for recent
intermittent failures on buildfarm members binturong and dingo (and might
well have something to do with the buildfarm script's failure to capture
log files from pg_upgrade tests, too).
To fix, just use `pwd` in place of $PWD. AFAICS test.sh is the only place
in our source tree that depended on $PWD. Back-patch to all versions
containing this script.
Per buildfarm. Thanks to Oskari Saarenmaa for diagnosing the problem.
There's no point in trying to free every small allocation in these
programs that are used in a one-shot fashion, but these ones seems like
an improvement on readability grounds.

Spotted by Coverity and reported by Michael Paquier. Per discussion,
we don't necessarily care about making Coverity happy in all such
instances, but we can go ahead and change them where it otherwise
seems to improve the code.
Previously, this prevented promoted standby servers from being upgraded
because of a missing WAL history file. (Timeline 1 doesn't need a
history file, and we don't copy WAL files anyway.)
Report by Christian Echerer(?), Alexey Klyukin
Backpatch through 9.0
This patch causes pg_upgrade to error out during its check phase if:
(1) template0 is marked connectable
or
(2) any other database is marked non-connectable
This is done because, in the first case, pg_upgrade would fail because
the pg_dumpall --globals restore would fail, and in the second case, the
database would not be restored, leading to data loss.

The majority practice is to add -DFRONTEND in directories building files
that are, at other times, built for the backend. Some directories
lacking that property added a noise -DFRONTEND in one build system.
Remove the excess flags, for consistency.
Before, make check-world would create a new temporary installation for
each test suite, which is slow and wasteful. Instead, we now create one
test installation that is used by all test suites that are part of a
make run.
The management of the temporary installation is removed from pg_regress
and handled in the makefiles. This allows for better control, and
unifies the code with that of test suites not run through pg_regress.
