Because the client encoding might not match the server encoding,
pg_upgrade can't allocate NAMEDATALEN bytes for storage of database,
relation, and namespace identifiers. Instead pg_strdup() the memory and
free it.
Also add C comment in initdb.c about safe NAMEDATALEN usage.
All versions of pg_upgrade upgraded invalid indexes caused by CREATE
INDEX CONCURRENTLY failures and marked them as valid. The patch adds a
check to all pg_upgrade versions and throws an error during upgrade or
--check.
Backpatch to 9.2, 9.1, 9.0. Patch slightly adjusted.
Pg_upgrade displays file names during copy and database names during
dump/restore. Andrew Dunstan identified three bugs:
* long file names were being truncated to 60 _leading_ characters, which
often do not change for long file names
* file names were truncated to 60 characters in log files
* carriage returns were being output to log files
This commit fixes these --- it prints 60 _trailing_ characters to the
status display, and full path names without carriage returns to log
files. It also suppresses status output to the log file unless verbose
mode is used.
storage.
Have pg_upgrade use it, and enable server options fsync=off and
full_page_writes=off.
Document that users turning fsync from off to on should run initdb
--sync-only.

--single-transaction to restore each database schema. This yields
performance improvements for databases with many tables. Also, remove

existence via open(), rather than collecting a directory listing and
looking up matching relfilenode files with sequential scans of the
array. This speeds up pg_upgrade by 2x for a large number of tables,
e.g. 16k.
Per observation by Ants Aasma.
On some platforms these functions return NULL, rather than the more common
practice of returning a pointer to a zero-sized block of memory. Hack our
various wrapper functions to hide the difference by substituting a size
request of 1. This is probably not so important for the callers, who
should never touch the block anyway if they asked for size 0 --- but it's
important for the wrapper functions themselves, which mistakenly treated
the NULL result as an out-of-memory failure. This broke at least pg_dump
for the case of no user-defined aggregates, as per report from
Matthew Carrington.
Back-patch to 9.2 to fix the pg_dump issue. Given the lack of previous
complaints, it seems likely that there is no live bug in previous releases,
even though some of these functions were in place before that.
entries are not dumped. This fixes an error caused by
droping/recreating the information_schema, but other failures were also
possible.
Backpatch to 9.2.
If we call pg_ctl stop, the server might continue and thus
hold a log file for a short time after it has deleted its pid file,
(which is when pg_ctl will exit), and so a subsequent attempt to
open the log file might fail.
We therefore try to open it a few times, sleeping one second between
tries, to give the server time to exit.
This corrects an error that was observed on the buildfarm.
Backpatched to 9.2,
Call pg_dumpall using -f switch instead of redirection, to avoid
writing the output in text mode and generating spurious carriage
returns. Remove to carriage return ignoring hack introduced by
commit e442b0f0c6.
Backpatch to 9.2.
pg_upgrade opened the output from pg_dumpall in text mode and
wrote the split files in text mode. This caused unwanted eating
of intended carriage returns on input and production of spurious
carriage returns on output. To avoid this, open all these files
in binary mode. On non-Windows platforms, this change has no
effect.
Backpatch to 9.0. On 9.0 and 9.1, we also switch from redirecting
pg_dumpall's output to using pg_dumpall's -f switch, for the same
reason.
socket location. Also, prevent putting the socket in the current
directory for pre-9.1 servers in live check and non-live check mode,
because pre-9.1 pg_ctl -w can't handle it.
Backpatch to 9.2.
pg_upgrade produces a platform-specific script to remove the old
directory, but on Windows it has not been making sure that the
paths it writes as arguments for rmdir and del use the backslash
path separator, which will cause these scripts to fail.
The fix is backpatched to Release 9.0.
When starting either an old or new postmaster, force it to place its Unix
socket in the current directory. This makes it even harder for accidental
connections to occur during pg_upgrade, and also works around some
scenarios where the default socket location isn't usable. (For example,
if the default location is something other than "/tmp", it might not exist
during "make check".)
When checking an already-running old postmaster, find out its actual socket
directory location from postmaster.pid, if possible. This dodges problems
with an old postmaster having a configured location different from the
default built into pg_upgrade's libpq. We can't find that out if the old
postmaster is pre-9.1, so also document how to cope with such scenarios
manually.
In support of this, centralize handling of the connection-related command
line options passed to pg_upgrade's subsidiary programs, such as pg_dump.
This should make future changes easier.

The previous signature made it very easy to pass something other than
the printf-format specifier in the corresponding position, without any
warning from the compiler.
While at it, move some of the escaping, redirecting and quoting
responsibilities from the callers into exec_prog() itself. This makes
the callsites cleaner.
