This is intended as infrastructure to support integration with label-based
mandatory access control systems such as SE-Linux. Further changes (mostly
hooks) will be needed, but this is a big chunk of it.

servers. AFAICT it's harmless at the moment because nothing can depend on
either, but as soon as we introduce an object type with such dependencies,
tableoid needs to be set or pg_dump will fail to interpret the dependencies
correctly. In theory, I guess the uninitialized garbage in tableoid could
cause the object to be mistaken for some other object with same OID as well.
an online backup instead of performing one. pg_ctl can detect that by
checking if recovery.conf exists.
Backup label file is renamed away early in recovery, so the window where
backup label exists during recovery is normally very small, but you can run
into it e.g if restore_command is set incorrectly and the startup process
never finds even the first WAL segment containing the checkpoint record to
start recovery from.
Fujii Masao with comments by me.
The original coding tended to break down in the face of modified restore
orders, as shown in bug #5626 from Albert Ullrich, because it would flip over
into parallel-restore operation too soon. That causes problems because we
don't have sufficient dependency information in dump archives to allow safe
parallel processing of SECTION_PRE_DATA items. Even if we did, it's probably
undesirable to allow that to override the commanded restore order.
To fix the problem of omitted items causing unexpected changes in restore
order, tweak SortTocFromFile so that omitted items end up at the head of
the list not the tail. This ensures that they'll be examined and their
dependencies will be marked satisfied before we get to any interesting
items.
In HEAD and 9.0, we can easily change restore_toc_entries_parallel so that
all SECTION_PRE_DATA items are guaranteed to be processed in the initial
serial-restore loop, and hence in commanded order. Only DATA and POST_DATA
items are candidates for parallel processing. For them there might be
variations from the commanded order because of parallelism, but we should
do it in a safe order thanks to dependencies.
In 8.4 it's much harder to make such a guarantee. I settled for not
letting the initial loop break out into parallel processing mode if
it sees a DATA/POST_DATA item that's not to be restored; this at least
prevents a non-restorable item from causing premature exit from the loop.
This means that 8.4 will be more likely to fail given a badly-ordered -L
list than 9.x, but we don't really promise any such thing will work anyway.
elsewhere.
Similarly rename the version in mbprint.c, not because this affects anything
but just to keep the two copies in exact sync. There was some discussion of
having only one copy in src/port/ instead, but this function is so small
and unlikely to change that that seems like overkill.

aspect of his patch was applied separately, and back-patched.)
in particular, propagate a fix in the test to see whether a UTF8 character has
length 4 bytes. This is likely of little real-world consequence because
5-or-more-byte UTF8 sequences are not supported by Postgres nor seen anywhere
in the wild, but still we may as well get it right. Problem found by Joseph
Adams.
Bug is aboriginal, so back-patch all the way.
and input file name, per bug #5617 from Leo Shklovskii. Rearrange the
corresponding code in pg_dump and pg_dumpall so that all three programs
handle this in a consistent, straightforward fashion.
Back-patch to 9.0, but no further. Although this is certainly a bug, it's
possible that people have scripts that will be broken by the added error
check, so it seems better not to change the behavior in stable branches.
and the editor's cursor will be initially placed on that line. In \e the
lines are counted with respect to the query buffer, while in \ef they are
counted with line 1 = first line of function body. These choices are useful
for positioning the cursor on the line of a previously-reported error.
To avoid assumptions about what switch the user's editor takes for this
purpose, invent a new psql variable EDITOR_LINENUMBER_SWITCH with (at
present) no default value.
One incompatibility from previous behavior is that "\e 1234" will now
take "1234" as a line number not a file name. There are at least two
ways to select a numerically-named file if you really want to.

of the messages. Also, adjust \connect's similar messages to match, and
deal with 8.2-era violation of basic translatability guidelines there.
We now use the phrase 'via local socket in' rather than 'on host' in both
\c and \conninfo output, when applicable.

I've added a quote_all_identifiers GUC which affects the behavior
of the backend, and a --quote-all-identifiers argument to pg_dump
and pg_dumpall which sets the GUC and also affects the quoting done
internally by those applications.

Per discussion with David Christensen, there can be multiple
instances of PG accessible via local sockets, and you need the port
to see which one you're actually connected to. David's original
patch worked this way, but I inadvertently ripped it out during
commit.
to dump a PUBLIC user mapping correctly, as per bug #5560 from Shigeru Hanada.
Use the pg_user_mappings view rather than trying to access pg_user_mapping
directly, so that the code doesn't fail when run by a non-superuser. And
clean up some minor carelessness such as unsafe usage of fmtId().
Back-patch to 8.4 where this code was added.
linking both executables and shared libraries, and we add on LDFLAGS_EX when
linking executables or LDFLAGS_SL when linking shared libraries. This
provides a significantly cleaner way of dealing with link-time switches than
the former behavior. Also, make sure that the various platform-specific
%.so: %.o rules incorporate LDFLAGS and LDFLAGS_SL; most of them missed that
before. (I did not add these variables for the platforms that invoke $(LD)
directly, however. It's not clear if we can do that safely, since for the
most part we assume these variables use CC command-line syntax.)
Per gripe from Aaron Swenson and subsequent investigation.

anything. Also improve some related comments. Per my observation that
the SEEK_CUR test didn't actually work on some platforms, and subsequent

Back-patch to 8.4. In earlier releases it's not that important whether
we get the hasSeek test right, but with parallel restore it matters.
contain data offsets (which it won't, if pg_dump thought its output wasn't
seekable). To do that, remove an unnecessarily aggressive error check, and
instead fail if we get to the end of the archive without finding the desired
data item. Also improve the error message to be more specific about the
cause of the problem. Per discussion of recent report from Igor Neyman.
Back-patch to 8.4 where parallel restore was introduced.
to be initialized with proper values. Affected parameters are
fillfactor, analyze_threshold, and analyze_scale_factor.
Especially uninitialized fillfactor caused inefficient page usage
because we built a StdRdOptions struct in which fillfactor is zero
if any reloption is set for the toast table.
In addition, we disallow toast.autovacuum_analyze_threshold and
toast.autovacuum_analyze_scale_factor because we didn't actually
support them; they are always ignored.

This patch catches everything in the original named-parameters patch,
but I'm not certain that no other dependencies snuck in later (grepping
the source tree for all uses of AS soon proved unworkable).
In passing I note that we've dropped the ball at least once on keeping
ecpg's lexer (as opposed to parser) in sync with the backend. It would
be a good idea to go through all of pgc.l and see if it's in sync now.
I didn't attempt that at the moment.

or that we are writing to a file and ran out of disk space. In either case
we shouldn't bother to continue fetching data.

Since this is a corner case behavioral change, I'm going to be conservative
and not back-patch it.
In passing, also rename the RestoreOptions field for the -C switch to
something less generic than "create".
My initial impression that glibc was measuring the precision in characters
(which is what the Linux man page says it does) was incorrect. It does take
the precision to be in bytes, but it also tries to truncate the string at a
character boundary. The bottom line remains the same: it will mess up
if the string is not in the encoding it expects, so we need to avoid %.*s
anytime there's a significant risk of that. Previous code changes are still
good, but adjust the comments to reflect this knowledge. Per research by
Hernan Gonzalez.
Depending on which spec you read, field widths and precisions in %s may be
counted either in bytes or characters. Our code was assuming bytes, which
is wrong at least for glibc's implementation, and in any case libc might
have a different idea of the prevailing encoding than we do. Hence, for
portable results we must avoid using anything more complex than just "%s"
unless the string to be printed is known to be all-ASCII.
This patch fixes the cases I could find, including the psql formatting
failure reported by Hernan Gonzalez. In HEAD only, I also added comments
to some places where it appears safe to continue using "%.*s".

recursion is detected, and don't expand the repeated reference. Per bug
#5448 from Francis Markham.
Back-patch to 8.0. Although the issue exists in 7.4 as well, it seems
impractical to fix there because of the lack of any state stack that
could be used to track active expansions.
