We have two existing conventions for long options: either alphabetical
among short options, or all long options after all the short options.
But the convention apparently used here, next to a functionally
related option, is not one of them.
Here we remove the notes which mention which version the given vacuumdb
option is available from. There are now 11 of these notes and they're
both quite untidy and take up far more space than they seem to be worth.
On running a print preview of the compiled HTML, removing these notes
saves about 1 A4 page (~20% less space).
If people need to see which options are available on older versions, then
consulting the documents for that version seems like a good idea. In any
case, when using newer vacuumdb versions on older servers, the user will
receive an error if they try to use an unsupported option.
Additionally, 3 of the notes are warning about the option only being
available from PostgreSQL 9.6 and later. That version's support ended 2.5
years ago. So, it's quite clear that the value of these notes diminishes
over time.

The finalfunc might return a read-write expanded object. If we
de-duplicate multiple call sites for the aggregate, any function(s)
receiving the aggregate result earlier could alter or destroy the
value that reaches the ones called later. This is a brown-paper-bag
bug in commit 42b746d4c, because we actually considered the need
for read-only-ness but failed to realize that it applied to the case
with a finalfunc as well as the case without.

The comment for iso8859_1_to_ascii_upper[] is not essential,

Other vacuumdb options seem to have notes about which version they're
available from, so let's follow this trend for the newly added
--buffer-usage-limit option.
This addresses various deficiencies in the documentation for VACUUM and
ANALYZE's BUFFER_USEAGE_LIMIT docs.
Here we declare "size" in the syntax synopsis for VACUUM and ANALYZE's
BUFFER_USAGE_LIMIT option and then define exactly what values can be
specified for it in the section for that below.
Also, fix the incorrect ordering of vacuumdb options both in the documents
and in vacuumdb's --help output. These should be in alphabetical order.
In passing also add the minimum/maximum range for the BUFFER_USAGE_LIMIT
option. These will also serve as example values that can be modified and
used.

Buildfarm member hamerkop is unhappy that daitch_mokotoff.c "contains
a character that cannot be represented in the current code page
(932). Save the file in Unicode format to prevent data loss". There
are a lot of non-ASCII characters in comments, but I do not see any
outside a comment, so this is just cosmetic. Nonetheless the warning
is fairly scary and people might waste time trying to understand the
cause, so we ought to silence it.
We have only one other occurrence of a non-ASCII character in .c or .h
files in the tree: predicate.c mentions "Uwe Röhm". It's far from
clear why hamerkop isn't complaining about that too; but it isn't,
so maybe there is some special provision for accented Roman letters.
We can remove the non-letter symbols from the comment for
iso8859_1_to_ascii_upper without any real loss of usefulness,
so let's try that first to see if it silences the warning.

For some reason I had not implemented RBM_ZERO_AND_CLEANUP_LOCK support in

reachable, e.g. when replaying a WAL record for a page in a relation that
subsequently is truncated (likely only reachable when doing crash recovery or
PITR, not during ongoing streaming replication).
As now all of the RBM_* modes are supported, remove assertions checking mode.
As we had no test coverage for this scenario, add a new TAP test. There's

The partition pruning logic assumed that "b IS NOT true" was exactly the
same as "b IS FALSE". This is not the case when considering NULL values.
Fix this so we correctly include any partition which could hold NULL
values for the NOT case.
Additionally, this fixes a bug in the partition pruning code which handles
partitioned tables partitioned like ((NOT boolcol)). This is a seemingly
unlikely schema design, and it was untested and also broken.
Here we add tests for the ((NOT boolcol)) case and insert some actual data
into those tables and verify we do get the correct rows back when running
queries. I've also adjusted the existing boolpart tests to include some
data and verify we get the correct results too.
Both the bugs being fixed here could lead to incorrect query results with
fewer rows being returned than expected. No additional rows could have
been returned accidentally.
In passing, remove needless ternary expression. It's more simple just to
pass !is_not_clause to makeBoolConst(). It makes sense to do this so the
code is consistent with the bug fix in the "else if" condition just below.

Hash join tuples reuse the HOT status bit to indicate match status
during hash join execution. Correct reuse requires clearing the bit in
all tuples. Serial hash join and parallel multi-batch hash join do so
upon inserting the tuple into the hashtable. Single batch parallel hash
join and batch 0 of unexpected multi-batch hash joins forgot to do this.
It hadn't come up before because hashtable tuple match bits are only
used for right and full outer joins and parallel ROJ and FOJ were
unsupported. 11c2d6fdf5 introduced support for parallel ROJ/FOJ but

bea3d7e has redesigned the regexp engine so as all the allocations go
through palloc() with a dedicated memory context. hba.c had to cope
with the past memory management logic by going through all the HBA and
ident lines generated, then directly free all the regexps found in
AuthTokens to ensure that no leaks would happen. Such leaks could
happen for example in the postmaster after a SIGHUP, in the event of
an HBA and/or ident reload failure where all the new content parsed must
be discarded, including all the regexps that may have been compiled.
Now that regexps are palloc()'d in their own memory context,
MemoryContextDelete() is enough to ensure that all the compiled regexps
are properly gone. Simplifying this logic in hba.c has the effect to
only remove code. Most of it is new in v16, except the part for regexps
compiled in ident entries for the system username, so doing this cleanup
now rather than when v17 opens for business will reduce future diffs
with the upcoming REL_16_STABLE.
Some comments were incorrect since bea3d7e, now fixed to reflect the
reality.

corresponding names from function definitions in a few places. These
inconsistencies were all introduced relatively recently, after the code

This reverts commit 3d03b24c3 (Revert Add support for Kerberos
credential delegation) which was committed on the grounds of concern
about portability, but on further review and discussion, it's clear that
we are better off explicitly requiring MIT Kerberos as that appears to
be the only GSSAPI library currently that's under proper maintenance
and ongoing development. The API used for storing credentials was added
to MIT Kerberos over a decade ago while for the other libraries which
appear to be mainly based on Heimdal, which exists explicitly to be a
re-implementation of MIT Kerberos, the API never made it to a released
version (even though it was added to the Heimdal git repo over 5 years
ago..).

Our policy since commit ab77a5a45 has been that a plan node having
any initplans is automatically not parallel-safe. (This could be
relaxed, but not today.) clean_up_removed_plan_level neglected
this, and could attach initplans to a parallel-safe child plan
node without clearing the plan's parallel-safe flag. That could
lead to "subplan was not initialized" errors at runtime, in case
an initplan referenced another one and only the referencing one
got transmitted to parallel workers.
The fix in clean_up_removed_plan_level is trivial enough.
materialize_finished_plan also moves initplans from one node
to another, but it's okay because it already copies the source
node's parallel_safe flag. The other place that does this kind
of thing is standard_planner's hack to inject a top-level Gather
when debug_parallel_query is active. But that's actually dead
code given that we're correctly enforcing the "initplans aren't
parallel safe" rule, so just replace it with an Assert that
there are no initplans.
Also improve some related comments.
Normally we'd add a regression test case for this sort of bug.
The mistake itself is already reached by existing tests, but there
is accidentally no visible problem. The only known test case that
creates an actual failure seems too indirect and fragile to justify
keeping it as a regression test (not least because it fails to fail
in v11, though the bug is clearly present there too).

Calling fseek() or ftello() on a handle to a non-seeking device such as
a pipe or a communications device is not supported. Unfortunately,
MSVC's flavor of these routines, _fseeki64() and _ftelli64(), do not
return an error when given a pipe as handle. Some of the logic of
pg_dump and restore relies on these routines to check if a handle is
seekable, causing failures when passing the contents of pg_dump to
pg_restore through a pipe, for example.
This commit introduces wrappers for fseeko() and ftello() on MSVC so as
any callers are able to properly detect the cases of non-seekable
handles. This relies mainly on GetFileType(), sharing a bit of code
with the MSVC port for fstat(). The code in charge of getting a file
type is refactored into a new file called win32common.c, shared by
win32stat.c and the new win32fseek.c. It includes the MSVC ports for
fseeko() and ftello().
Like 765f5df, this is backpatched down to 14, where the fstat()
implementation for MSVC is able to understand about files larger than
4GB in size. Using a TAP test for that is proving to be tricky as
IPC::Run handles the pipes by itself, still I have been able to check
the fix manually.
