Trigger cloning to partitions was supposed to occur for user-visible
triggers only, but during development the protection that prevented it
from occurring to internal triggers was lost. Reinstate it, as well as
add a test case to ensure internal triggers (in the tested case,
triggers implementing a deferred unique constraint) are not cloned.
Without the code fix, the partitions in the test end up with different
numbers of triggers, which is clearly wrong ...

We were being careless in some places about the order of -L switches in
link command lines, such that -L switches referring to external directories
could come before those referring to directories within the build tree.
This made it possible to accidentally link a system-supplied library, for
example /usr/lib/libpq.so, in place of the one built in the build tree.
Hilarity ensued, the more so the older the system-supplied library is.
To fix, break LDFLAGS into two parts, a sub-variable LDFLAGS_INTERNAL
and the main LDFLAGS variable, both of which are "recursively expanded"
so that they can be incrementally adjusted by different makefiles.
Establish a policy that -L switches for directories in the build tree
must always be added to LDFLAGS_INTERNAL, while -L switches for external
directories must always be added to LDFLAGS. This is sufficient to
ensure a safe search order. For simplicity, we typically also put -l
switches for the respective libraries into those same variables.
(Traditional make usage would have us put -l switches into LIBS, but
cleaning that up is a project for another day, as there's no clear
need for it.)
This turns out to also require separating SHLIB_LINK into two variables,
SHLIB_LINK and SHLIB_LINK_INTERNAL, with a similar rule about which
switches go into which variable. And likewise for PG_LIBS.
Although this change might appear to affect external users of pgxs.mk,
I think it doesn't; they shouldn't have any need to touch the _INTERNAL
variables.
In passing, tweak src/common/Makefile so that the value of CPPFLAGS
recorded in pg_config lacks "-DFRONTEND" and the recorded value of
LDFLAGS lacks "-L../../../src/common". Both of those things are
mistakes, apparently introduced during prior code rearrangements,
as old versions of pg_config don't print them. In general we don't
want anything that's specific to the src/common subdirectory to
appear in those outputs.
This is certainly a bug fix, but in view of the lack of field
complaints, I'm unsure whether it's worth the risk of back-patching.
In any case it seems wise to see what the buildfarm makes of it first.

checksums are enabled. If checksum failures are encountered, log them

Coverity complained about possible buffer overrun in two places added by
commit 1eb6d6527, and AFAICS it's reasonable to worry: even granting that
the WAL originator properly truncated the commit GID to GIDSIZE, we should
not really bet our lives on that having the same value as it does in the

However, this has forgotten to include check_ssl_key_file_permissions()

A Bloom filter is a space-efficient, probabilistic data structure that
can be used to test set membership. Callers will sometimes incur false
positives, but never false negatives. The rate of false positives is a
function of the total number of elements and the amount of memory
available for the Bloom filter.
Two classic applications of Bloom filters are cache filtering, and data
synchronization testing. Any user of Bloom filters must accept the
possibility of false positives as a cost worth paying for the benefit in
space efficiency.
This commit adds a test harness extension module, test_bloomfilter. It
can be used to get a sense of how the Bloom filter implementation
performs under varying conditions.
This is infrastructure for the upcoming "heapallindexed" amcheck patch,
which verifies the consistency of a heap relation against one of its
indexes.

Avoid storing the result of PQsocket() in a pgsocket variable; it's
declared as int, and the no-socket test is properly written as "x < 0"
not "x == PGINVALID_SOCKET". This accidentally had no bad effect
because we never got to init_slot() with a bad connection, but it's
still wrong.
Actually, it seems like we should avoid storing the result for a long
period at all. The function's not so expensive that it's worth avoiding,
and the existing coding technique here would fail if anyone tried to
PQreset the connection during the life of the program. Hence, just
re-call PQsocket every time we construct a select(2) mask.
Speaking of select(), GetIdleSlot imagined that it could compute the
select mask once and continue to use it over multiple calls to
select_loop(), which is pretty bogus since that would stomp on the
mask on return. This could only matter if the function's outer loop
iterated more than once, which is unlikely (it'd take some connection
receiving data, but not enough to complete its command). But if it
did happen, we'd acquire "tunnel vision" and stop watching the other
connections for query termination, with the effect of losing parallelism.
Another way in which GetIdleSlot could lose parallelism is that once
PQisBusy returns false, it would lock in on that connection and do
PQgetResult until that returns NULL; in some cases that could result
in blocking. (Perhaps this can never happen in vacuumdb due to the
limited set of commands that it can issue, but I'm not quite sure
of that, and even if true today it's not a future-proof assumption.)
Refactor the code to do that properly, so that it risks blocking in
PQgetResult only in cases where we need to wait anyway.
Another loss-of-parallelism problem, which *is* easily demonstrable,
is that any setup queries issued during prepare_vacuum_command() were
always issued on the last-to-be-created connection, whether or not
that was idle. Long-running operations on that connection thus
prevented issuance of additional operations on the other ones, except
in the limited cases where no preparatory query was needed. Instead,
wait till we've identified a free connection and use that one.
Also, avoid core dump due to undersized malloc request in the case
that no tables are identified to be vacuumed.
The bogus no-socket test was noted by CharSyam, the other problems
identified in my own code review. Back-patch to 9.5 where parallel
vacuumdb was introduced.

LockViewRecurese() obtains view relation using heap_open() and passes
it to get_view_query() to get view info. It immediately closes the
relation then uses the returned view info by calling
LockViewRecurse_walker(). Since get_view_query() returns a pointer
within the relcache, the relcache should be kept until
LockViewRecurse_walker() returns. Otherwise the relation could point
to a garbage memory area.
Fix is moving the heap_close() call after LockViewRecurse_walker().

Richard Yen reported that pg_upgrade failed if the target cluster had
force_parallel_mode = on, because binary_upgrade_create_empty_extension()
is marked parallel restricted, allowing it to be executed in parallel
mode, which complains because it tries to acquire an XID.
In general, no function that might try to modify database data should
be considered parallel safe or restricted, since execution of it might
force XID acquisition. We found several other examples of this mistake.
Furthermore, functions that execute user-supplied SQL queries or query
fragments, or pull data from user-supplied cursors, had better be marked
both volatile and parallel unsafe, because we don't know what the supplied
query or cursor might try to do. There were several tsquery and XML
functions that had the wrong proparallel marking for this, and some of
them were even mislabeled as to volatility.
All these bugs are old, dating back to 9.6 for the proparallel mistakes
and much further for the provolatile mistakes. We can't force a
catversion bump in the back branches, but we can at least ensure that
installations initdb'd in future have the right values.

Add the target context's name to the errdetail field of "out of memory"
errors in mcxt.c. Per discussion, this seems likely to be useful to
help narrow down the cause of a reported failure, and it costs little.
Also, now that context names are required to be compile-time constants
in all cases, there's little reason to be concerned about security
issues from exposing these names to users. (Because of such concerns,
we are *not* including the context "ident" field.)
In passing, add unlikely() markers to the allocation-failed tests,

In btree and SP-GiST indexes, move the responsibility for calling
IndexFreeSpaceMapVacuum from the vacuumcleanup phase to the bulkdelete
phase, and do it if and only if we found some pages that could be put into
FSM. As in commit 851a26e26, the idea is to make free pages visible to FSM
searchers sooner when vacuuming very large tables (large enough to need
multiple bulkdelete scans). This adds more redundant work than that commit
did, since we have to scan the entire index FSM each time rather than being
able to localize what needs to be updated; but it still seems worthwhile.
However, we can buy something back by not touching the FSM at all when
there are no pages that can be put in it. That will result in slower
recovery from corrupt upper FSM pages in such a scenario, but it doesn't
seem like that's a case we need to optimize for.
Hash indexes don't use FSM at all. GIN, GiST, and bloom indexes update
FSM during the vacuumcleanup phase not bulkdelete, so that doing something
comparable to this would be a much more invasive change, and it's not clear
it's worth it. BRIN indexes do things sufficiently differently that this
change doesn't apply to them, either.

If the toplevel scan/join target list is parallel-safe, postpone
generating Gather (or Gather Merge) paths until after the toplevel has
been adjusted to return it. This (correctly) makes queries with
expensive functions in the target list more likely to choose a
parallel plan, since the cost of the plan now reflects the fact that
the evaluation will happen in the workers rather than the leader.
The original complaint about this problem was from Jeff Janes.
If the toplevel scan/join relation is partitioned, recursively apply
the changes to all partitions. This sometimes allows us to get rid of
Result nodes, because Append is not projection-capable but its
children may be. It also cleans up what appears to be incorrect SRF
handling from commit e2f1eb0ee30d144628ab523432320f174a2c8966: the old
code had no knowledge of SRFs for child scan/join rels.
Because we now use create_projection_path() in some cases where we
formerly used apply_projection_to_path(), this changes the ordering
of columns in some queries generated by postgres_fdw. Update
regression outputs accordingly.

Don't call generate_gather_paths for the topmost scan/join relation
when it is initially populated with paths. Instead, do the work in

We sometimes insert a ProjectionPath into a plan tree when projection
is not strictly required. The existing code already arranges to avoid
emitting a Result node when the ProjectionPath's subpath can perform
the projection itself, but previously it didn't consider the
possibility that the parent node might not actually require the
projection to be performed at all.
Skipping projection when it's not required can not only avoid Result
nodes that aren't needed, but also avoid losing the "physical tlist"
optimization unneccessarily.

Just noticed that these were quite redundant, since we're holding the
page address in a local variable anyway, and we have pin on the buffer
throughout.
Also improve a comment.
FreeSpaceMapVacuumRange has the same effect, is more efficient if many
pages are involved, and makes fewer assumptions about how it's used.
Notably, Claudio Freire pointed out that UpdateFreeSpaceMap could fail
if the specified freespace value isn't the maximum possible. This isn't
a problem for the single existing user, but the function represents an
attractive nuisance IMO, because it's named as though it were a
general-purpose update function and its limitations are undocumented.
In any case we don't need multiple ways to get the same result.
In passing, do some code review and cleanup in RelationAddExtraBlocks.
In particular, I see no excuse for it to omit the PageIsNew safety check

VACUUM updates leaf-level FSM entries immediately after cleaning the
corresponding heap blocks. fsmpage.c updates the intra-page search trees
on the leaf-level FSM pages when this happens, but it does not touch the
upper-level FSM pages, so that the released space might not actually be
findable by searchers. Previously, updating the upper-level pages happened
only at the conclusion of the VACUUM run, in a single FreeSpaceMapVacuum()
call. This is bad because the VACUUM might get canceled before ever
reaching that point, so that from the point of view of searchers no space
has been freed at all, leading to table bloat.
We can improve matters by updating the upper pages immediately after each
cycle of index-cleaning and heap-cleaning, processing just the FSM pages
corresponding to the range of heap blocks we have now fully cleaned.
This adds a small amount of extra work, since the FSM pages leading down
to each range boundary will be touched twice, but it's pretty negligible
compared to everything else going on in a large VACUUM.
If there are no indexes, VACUUM doesn't work in cycles but just cleans
each heap page on first visit. In that case we just arbitrarily update
upper FSM pages after each 8GB of heap. That maintains the goal of not
letting all this work slide until the very end, and it doesn't seem worth
expending extra complexity on a case that so seldom occurs in practice.
In either case, the FSM is fully up to date before any attempt is made
to truncate the relation, so that the most likely scenario for VACUUM
cancellation no longer results in out-of-date upper FSM pages. When
we do successfully truncate, adjusting the FSM to reflect that is now
fully handled within FreeSpaceMapTruncateRel.

Previously, committing or aborting inside a cursor loop was prohibited
because that would close and remove the cursor. To allow that,
automatically convert such cursors to holdable cursors so they survive
commits or rollbacks. Portals now have a new state "auto-held", which
means they have been converted automatically from pinned. An auto-held
portal is kept on transaction commit or rollback, but is still removed
when returning to the main loop on error.
This supports all languages that have cursor loop constructs: PL/pgSQL,
PL/Python, PL/Perl.

This provides infrastructure to allow JITed code to inline code
implemented in C. This e.g. can be postgres internal functions or
extension code.
This already speeds up long running queries, by allowing the LLVM
optimizer to optimize across function boundaries. The optimization
potential currently doesn't reach its full potential because LLVM
cannot optimize the FunctionCallInfoData argument fully away, because
it's allocated on the heap rather than the stack. Fixing that is
beyond what's realistic for v11.
To be able to do that, use CLANG to convert C code to LLVM bitcode,
and have LLVM build a summary for it. That bitcode can then be used to
to inline functions at runtime. For that the bitcode needs to be
installed. Postgres bitcode goes into $pkglibdir/bitcode/postgres,
extensions go into equivalent directories. PGXS has been modified so
that happens automatically if postgres has been compiled with LLVM
support.
Currently this isn't the fastest inline implementation, modules are
reloaded from disk during inlining. That's to work around an apparent
LLVM bug, triggering an apparently spurious error in LLVM assertion
enabled builds. Once that is resolved we can remove the superfluous
read from disk.
Docs will follow in a later commit containing docs for the whole JIT
feature.

When compiling with clang glibc's definition of isinf() ends up
leading to and external libc function call. That's because there was a
bug in the builtin in an old gcc version, and clang claims
compatibility with an older version. That causes clang to be
measurably slower for floating point heavy workloads than gcc.
To fix simply redirect isinf when using clang and clang confirms it
has __builtin_isinf().
The target cluster that was rewound needs to perform recovery from
the checkpoint created at failover, which leads it to remove or recreate
some files and directories that may have been copied from the source
cluster. So pg_rewind can skip synchronizing such files and directories,
and which reduces the amount of data transferred during a rewind
without changing the usefulness of the operation.

After processing the filemap to build the list of chunks that will be
fetched from the source to rewing the target server, it is possible that
a file which was previously processed is removed from the source. A
simple example of such an occurence is a WAL segment which gets recycled
on the target in-between. When the filemap is processed, files not
categorized as relation files are first truncated to prepare for its
full copy of which is going to be taken from the source, divided into a
set of junks. However, for a recycled WAL segment, this would result in
a segment which has a zero-byte size. With such an empty file,
post-rewind recovery thinks that records are saved but they are actually
not because of the truncation which happened when processing the
filemap, resulting in data loss.
In order to fix the problem, make sure that files which are found as
removed on the source when receiving chunks of them are as well deleted
on the target server for consistency.

tuplesort_gettupleslot() passed back tuples allocated in the tuplesort's
own memory context, even when the caller was responsible to free them.
This created a double-free hazard, because some callers might destroy
the tuplesort object (via tuplesort_end) before trying to clean up the
last returned tuple. To avoid this, change the API to specify that the
tuple is allocated in the caller's memory context. v10 and HEAD already
did things that way, but in 9.5 and 9.6 this is a live bug that can
demonstrably cause crashes with some grouping-set usages.
In 9.5 and 9.6, this requires doing an extra tuple copy in some cases,
which is unfortunate. But the amount of refactoring needed to avoid it
seems excessive for a back-patched change, especially since the cases
where an extra copy happens are less performance-critical.
Likewise change tuplesort_getdatum() to return pass-by-reference Datums
in the caller's context not the tuplesort's context. There seem to be
no live bugs among its callers, but clearly the same sort of situation
could happen in future.
For other tuplesort fetch routines, continue to allocate the memory in
the tuplesort's context. This is a little inconsistent with what we now
do for tuplesort_gettupleslot() and tuplesort_getdatum(), but that's
preferable to adding new copy overhead in the back branches where it's
clearly unnecessary. These other fetch routines provide the weakest
possible guarantees about tuple memory lifespan from v10 on, anyway,
so this actually seems more consistent overall.
Adjust relevant comments to reflect these API redefinitions.
Arguably, we should change the pre-9.5 branches as well, but since
there are no known failure cases there, it seems not worth the risk.

Currently adding a column to a table with a non-NULL default results in
a rewrite of the table. For large tables this can be both expensive and
disruptive. This patch removes the need for the rewrite as long as the
default value is not volatile. The default expression is evaluated at
the time of the ALTER TABLE and the result stored in a new column
(attmissingval) in pg_attribute, and a new column (atthasmissing) is set
to true. Any existing row when fetched will be supplied with the
attmissingval. New rows will have the supplied value or the default and
so will never need the attmissingval.
Any time the table is rewritten all the atthasmissing and attmissingval
settings for the attributes are cleared, as they are no longer needed.
The most visible code change from this is in heap_attisnull, which
acquires a third TupleDesc argument, allowing it to detect a missing
value if there is one. In many cases where it is known that there will
not be any (e.g. catalog relations) NULL can be passed for this
argument.

Originally, we treated memory context names as potentially variable in
all cases, and therefore always copied them into the context header.
Commit 9fa6f00b1 rethought this a little bit and invented a distinction
between fixed and variable names, skipping the copy step for the former.
But we can make things both simpler and more useful by instead allowing
there to be two parts to a context's identification, a fixed "name" and
an optional, variable "ident". The name supplied in the context create
call is now required to be a compile-time-constant string in all cases,
as it is never copied but just pointed to. The "ident" string, if
wanted, is supplied later. This is needed because typically we want
the ident to be stored inside the context so that it's cleaned up
automatically on context deletion; that means it has to be copied into
the context before we can set the pointer.
The cost of this approach is basically just an additional pointer field
in struct MemoryContextData, which isn't much overhead, and is bought
back entirely in the AllocSet case by not needing a headerSize field
anymore, since we no longer have to cope with variable header length.
In addition, we can simplify the internal interfaces for memory context
creation still further, saving a few cycles there. And it's no longer
true that a custom identifier disqualifies a context from participating
in aset.c's freelist scheme, so possibly there's some win on that end.
All the places that were using non-compile-time-constant context names
are adjusted to put the variable info into the "ident" instead. This
allows more effective identification of those contexts in many cases;
for example, subsidary contexts of relcache entries are now identified
by both type (e.g. "index info") and relname, where before you got only
one or the other. Contexts associated with PL function cache entries
are now identified more fully and uniformly, too.
I also arranged for plancache contexts to use the query source string
as their identifier. This is basically free for CachedPlanSources, as
they contained a copy of that string already. We pay an extra pstrdup
to do it for CachedPlans. That could perhaps be avoided, but it would
make things more fragile (since the CachedPlanSource is sometimes
destroyed first). I suspect future improvements in error reporting will
require CachedPlans to have a copy of that string anyway, so it's not
clear that it's worth moving mountains to avoid it now.
This also changes the APIs for context statistics routines so that the
context-specific routines no longer assume that output goes straight
to stderr, nor do they know all details of the output format. This
is useful immediately to reduce code duplication, and it also allows
for external code to do something with stats output that's different
from printing to stderr.
The reason for pushing this now rather than waiting for v12 is that
it rethinks some of the API changes made by commit 9fa6f00b1. Seems
better for extension authors to endure just one round of API changes
not two.

Performing JIT compilation for deforming gains performance benefits
over unJITed deforming from compile-time knowledge of the tuple
descriptor. Fixed column widths, NOT NULLness, etc can be taken

Right now the JITed deforming is only used when deforming tuples as
part of expression evaluation (and obviously only if the descriptor is
known). It's likely to be beneficial in other cases, too.
By default tuple deforming is JITed whenever an expression is JIT

In the case that PostgreSQL uses stdbool.h but Perl doesn't, we need to
prevent Perl from defining bool, to prevent compiler warnings about
redefinition.
For years, our makefiles have correctly observed that "there is no correct
way to write a rule that generates two files". However, what we did is to
provide empty rules that "generate" the secondary output files from the
primary one, and that's not right either. Depending on the details of
the creating process, the primary file might end up timestamped later than
one or more secondary files, causing subsequent make runs to consider the
secondary file(s) out of date. That's harmless in a plain build, since
make will just re-execute the empty rule and nothing happens. But it's
fatal in a VPATH build, since make will expect the secondary file to be
rebuilt in the build directory. This would manifest as "file not found"
failures during VPATH builds from tarballs, if we were ever unlucky enough
to ship a tarball with apparently out-of-date secondary files. (It's not
clear whether that has ever actually happened, but it definitely could.)
To ensure that secondary output files have timestamps >= their primary's,
change our makefile convention to be that we provide a "touch $@" action
not an empty rule. Also, make sure that this rule actually gets invoked
during a distprep run, else the hazard remains.
It's been like this a long time, so back-patch to all supported branches.
In HEAD, I skipped the changes in src/backend/catalog/Makefile, because
those rules are due to get replaced soon in the bootstrap data format

to apply that coding pattern elsewhere if necessary.

Author: Andres Freund
Using the standard bool type provided by C allows some recent compilers
and debuggers to give better diagnostics. Also, some extension code and
third-party headers are increasingly pulling in stdbool.h, so it's
probably saner if everyone uses the same definition.
But PostgreSQL code is not prepared to handle bool of a size other than
1, so we keep our own old definition if we encounter a stdbool.h with a
bool of a different size. (Among current build farm members, this only
applies to old macOS versions on PowerPC.)
To check that the used bool is of the right size, add a static
assertions about size of GinTernaryValue vs bool. This is currently the
only place that assumes that bool and char are of the same size.

VACUUM thought that reltuples represents the total number of tuples in
the relation, while ANALYZE counted only live tuples. This can cause
"flapping" in the value when background vacuums and analyzes happen
separately. The planner's use of reltuples essentially assumes that
it's the count of live (visible) tuples, so let's standardize on having
it mean live tuples.
Another issue is that the definition of "live tuple" isn't totally clear;
what should be done with INSERT_IN_PROGRESS or DELETE_IN_PROGRESS tuples?
ANALYZE's choices in this regard are made on the assumption that if the
originating transaction commits at all, it will happen after ANALYZE
finishes, so we should ignore the effects of the in-progress transaction
--- unless it is our own transaction, and then we should count it.
Let's propagate this definition into VACUUM, too.

Count the number of tuples in the index honestly, instead of assuming
that it's the same as the number of tuples in the heap. (It might be
different if the index is partial.)
Back-patch to all supported versions.

If the partition keys of input relation are part of the GROUP BY
clause, all the rows belonging to a given group come from a single
partition. This allows aggregation/grouping over a partitioned
relation to be broken down * into aggregation/grouping on each
partition. This should be no worse, and often better, than the normal
approach.
If the GROUP BY clause does not contain all the partition keys, we can
still perform partial aggregation for each partition and then finalize
aggregation after appending the partial results. This is less certain
to be a win, but it's still useful.

Previously, a value was included in the MCV list if its frequency was
25% larger than the estimated average frequency of all nonnull values
in the table. For uniform distributions, that can lead to values
being included in the MCV list and significantly overestimated on the
basis of relatively few (sometimes just 2) instances being seen in the
sample. For non-uniform distributions, it can lead to too few values
being included in the MCV list, since the overall average frequency
may be dominated by a small number of very common values, while the
remaining values may still have a large spread of frequencies, causing
both substantial overestimation and underestimation of the remaining
values. Furthermore, increasing the statistics target may have little
effect because the overall average frequency will remain relatively
unchanged.
Instead, populate the MCV list with the largest set of common values
that are statistically significantly more common than the average
frequency of the remaining values. This takes into account the
variance of the sample counts, which depends on the counts themselves
and on the proportion of the table that was sampled. As a result, it
constrains the relative standard error of estimates based on the
frequencies of values in the list, reducing the chances of too many
values being included. At the same time, it allows more values to be
included, since the MCVs need only be more common than the remaining
non-MCVs, rather than the overall average. Thus it tends to produce
fewer MCVs than the previous code for uniform distributions, and more
for non-uniform distributions, reducing estimation errors in both
cases. In addition, the algorithm responds better to increasing the
statistics target, allowing more values to be included in the MCV list
when more of the table is sampled.

This commit introduces:
1) JIT provider abstraction, which allows JIT functionality to be
implemented in separate shared libraries. That's desirable because
it allows to install JIT support as a separate package, and because
it allows experimentation with different forms of JITing.
2) JITContexts which can be, using functions introduced in follow up
commits, used to emit JITed functions, and have them be cleaned up
on error.
3) The outline of a LLVM JIT provider, which will be fleshed out in
subsequent commits.
Documentation for GUCs added, and for JIT in general, will be added in
later commits.

Pending some solution for the problems noted in commit 742869946,
disallow dynamic creation of GUC_LIST_QUOTE variables.
If there are any extensions out there using this feature, they'd not
be happy for us to start enforcing this rule in minor releases, so
this is a HEAD-only change. The previous commit didn't make things
any worse than they already were for such cases.
Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20180111064900.GA51030@paquier.xyz
Code that prints out the contents of setconfig or proconfig arrays in
SQL format needs to handle GUC_LIST_QUOTE variables differently from
other ones, because for those variables, flatten_set_variable_args()
already applied a layer of quoting. The value can therefore safely
be printed as-is, and indeed must be, or flatten_set_variable_args()
will muck it up completely on reload. For all other GUC variables,
it's necessary and sufficient to quote the value as a SQL literal.
We'd recognized the need for this long ago, but mis-analyzed the
need slightly, thinking that all GUC_LIST_INPUT variables needed
the special treatment. That's actually wrong, since a valid value
of a LIST variable might include characters that need quoting,
although no existing variables accept such values.
More to the point, we hadn't made any particular effort to keep the
various places that deal with this up-to-date with the set of variables
that actually need special treatment, meaning that we'd do the wrong
thing with, for example, temp_tablespaces values. This affects dumping
of SET clauses attached to functions, as well as ALTER DATABASE/ROLE SET
commands.
In ruleutils.c we can fix it reasonably honestly by exporting a guc.c
function that allows discovering the flags for a given GUC variable.
But pg_dump doesn't have easy access to that, so continue the old method
of having a hard-wired list of affected variable names. At least we can
fix it to have just one list not two, and update the list to match
current reality.
A remaining problem with this is that it only works for built-in
GUC variables. pg_dump's list obvious knows nothing of third-party
extensions, and even the "ask guc.c" method isn't bulletproof since
the relevant extension might not be loaded. There's no obvious
solution to that, so for now, we'll just have to discourage extension
authors from inventing custom GUCs that need GUC_LIST_QUOTE.
This has been busted for a long time, so back-patch to all supported
branches.

Currently, if operator_predicate_proof() is given an operator clause like
"something op NULL", it just throws up its hands and reports it can't prove
anything. But we can often do better than that, if the operator is strict,
because then we know that the clause returns NULL overall. Depending on
whether we're trying to prove or refute something, and whether we need
weak or strong semantics for NULL, this may be enough to prove the
implication, especially when we rely on the standard rule that "false
implies anything". In particular, this lets us do something useful with
questions like "does X IN (1,3,5,NULL) imply X <= 5?" The null entry
in the IN list can effectively be ignored for this purpose, but the
proof rules were not previously smart enough to deduce that.
This patch is by me, but it owes something to previous work by
Amit Langote to try to solve problems of the form mentioned.
Thanks also to Emre Hasegeli and Ashutosh Bapat for review.

I noticed while fooling with John Naylor's bootstrap-data patch that we had
one high-numbered manually assigned OID, 8888, which evidently came from a
submission that the committer didn't bother to bring into line with usual
OID allocation practices before committing. That's a bad idea, because it
creates a hazard for other patches that may be temporarily using high OID
numbers. Change it to something more in line with what we usually do.
This evidently dates to commit abb173392. It's too late to change it
in released branches, but we can fix it in HEAD.
If the control file is corrupted and specifies the WAL segment size
to be 0 bytes, calculating the latest checkpoint's REDO WAL file
will fail with a division-by-zero error. Show it as "???" instead.
Also reword the warning message a bit and send it to stdout, like the
other pre-existing warning messages.
Add some tests for dealing with a corrupted pg_control file.

My commit 4dba331cb3 that moved around CommandCounterIncrement calls
in partitioning DDL code unearthed a problem with the relcache handling
for the 'default' partition: the construction of a correct relcache
entry for the partitioned table was at the mercy of lack of CCI calls in
non-trivial amounts of code. This was prone to creating problems later
on, as the code develops. This was visible as a test failure in a
compile with RELCACHE_FORCE_RELASE (buildfarm member prion).
The problem is that after the mentioned commit it was possible to create
a relcache entry that had incomplete information regarding the default
partition because I introduced a CCI between adding the catalog entries
for the default partition (StorePartitionBound) and the update of
pg_partitioned_table entry for its parent partitioned table
(update_default_partition_oid). It seems the best fix is to move the
latter so that it occurs inside the former; the purposeful lack of
intervening CCI should be more obvious, and harder to break.
I also remove a check in RelationBuildPartitionDesc that returns NULL if
the key is not set. I couldn't find any place that needs this hack
anymore; probably it was required because of bugs that have since been
fixed.
Fix a few typos I noticed while reviewing the code involved.

Logical decoding should not publish anything about tables created as
part of a heap rewrite during DDL. Those tables don't exist externally,
so consumers of logical decoding cannot do anything sensible with that
information. In ab28feae2b, we worked
around this for built-in logical replication, but that was hack.
This is a more proper fix: We mark such transient heaps using the new
field pg_class.relwrite, linking to the original relation OID. By
default, we ignore them in logical decoding before they get to the
output plugin. Optionally, a plugin can register their interest in
getting such changes, if they handle DDL specially, in which case the
new field will help them get information about the actual table.

LLVM will be used for *optional* Just-in-time compilation

This is an optional dependency. It'll be used for the upcoming LLVM
based just in time compilation support, which needs to wrap a few LLVM
C++ APIs so they're accessible from C..
For now test for C++ compilers unconditionally, without failing if not
present, to ensure wide buildfarm coverage. If we're bothered by the
additional test times (which are quite short) or verbosity, we can
later make the tests conditional on --with-llvm.

Since e3bdb2d926, libpq failed to build on
some platforms because they did not have SSL_clear_options(). Although
mainline OpenSSL introduced SSL_clear_options() after
SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION, so the code should have built fine, at least an
old NetBSD version (build farm "coypu" NetBSD 5.1 gcc 4.1.3 PR-20080704
powerpc) has SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION but no SSL_clear_options().
So add a configure check for SSL_clear_options(). If we don't find it,
skip the call. That means on such a platform one cannot *enable* SSL
compression if the built-in default is off, but that seems an unlikely
combination anyway and not very interesting in practice.
