12ee6ec71f In pg_upgrade, dump each database separately and use
--single-transaction to restore each database schema.  This yields
performance improvements for databases with many tables.  Also, remove

da63fec7db Add missing buffer lock acquisition in GetTupleForTrigger().
If we had not been holding buffer pin continuously since the tuple was
initially fetched by the UPDATE or DELETE query, it would be possible for
VACUUM or a page-prune operation to move the tuple while we're trying to
copy it.  This would result in a garbage "old" tuple value being passed to
an AFTER ROW UPDATE or AFTER ROW DELETE trigger.  The preconditions for
this are somewhat improbable, and the timing constraints are very tight;
so it's not so surprising that this hasn't been reported from the field,
even though the bug has been there a long time.

Problem found by Andres Freund.  Back-patch to all active branches.

4af446e7cd Produce a more useful error message for over-length Unix socket paths.
The length of a socket path name is constrained by the size of struct
sockaddr_un, and there's not a lot we can do about it since that is a
kernel API.  However, it would be a good thing if we produced an
intelligible error message when the user specifies a socket path that's too
long --- and getaddrinfo's standard API is too impoverished to do this in
the natural way.  So insert explicit tests at the places where we construct
a socket path name.  Now you'll get an error that makes sense and even
tells you what the limit is, rather than something generic like
"Non-recoverable failure in name resolution".

Per trouble report from Jeremy Drake and a fix idea from Andrew Dunstan.

1fc698cf14 Suppress parallel build in interfaces/ecpg/preproc/.
This is to see if it will stop intermittent build failures on buildfarm
member okapi.  We know that gmake 3.82 has some problems with sometimes
not honoring dependencies in parallel builds, and it seems likely that
this is more of the same.  Since the vast bulk of the work in the preproc
directory is associated with creating preproc.c and then preproc.o,
parallelism buys us hardly anything here anyway.

Also, make both this .NOTPARALLEL and the one previously added in
interfaces/ecpg/Makefile be conditional on "ifeq ($(MAKE_VERSION),3.82)".
The known bug in gmake is fixed upstream and should not be present in
3.83 and up, and there's no reason to think it affects older releases.

3c84046490 Fix assorted bugs in CREATE/DROP INDEX CONCURRENTLY.
Commit 8cb53654db, which introduced DROP
INDEX CONCURRENTLY, managed to break CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY via a poor
choice of catalog state representation.  The pg_index state for an index
that's reached the final pre-drop stage was the same as the state for an
index just created by CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY.  This meant that the
(necessary) change to make RelationGetIndexList ignore about-to-die indexes
also made it ignore freshly-created indexes; which is catastrophic because
the latter do need to be considered in HOT-safety decisions.  Failure to
do so leads to incorrect index entries and subsequently wrong results from
queries depending on the concurrently-created index.

To fix, add an additional boolean column "indislive" to pg_index, so that
the freshly-created and about-to-die states can be distinguished.  (This
change obviously is only possible in HEAD.  This patch will need to be
back-patched, but in 9.2 we'll use a kluge consisting of overloading the
formerly-impossible state of indisvalid = true and indisready = false.)

In addition, change CREATE/DROP INDEX CONCURRENTLY so that the pg_index
flag changes they make without exclusive lock on the index are made via
heap_inplace_update() rather than a normal transactional update.  The
latter is not very safe because moving the pg_index tuple could result in
concurrent SnapshotNow scans finding it twice or not at all, thus possibly
resulting in index corruption.  This is a pre-existing bug in CREATE INDEX
CONCURRENTLY, which was copied into the DROP code.

In addition, fix various places in the code that ought to check to make
sure that the indexes they are manipulating are valid and/or ready as
appropriate.  These represent bugs that have existed since 8.2, since
a failed CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY could leave a corrupt or invalid
index behind, and we ought not try to do anything that might fail with
such an index.

Also fix RelationReloadIndexInfo to ensure it copies all the pg_index
columns that are allowed to change after initial creation.  Previously we
could have been left with stale values of some fields in an index relcache
entry.  It's not clear whether this actually had any user-visible
consequences, but it's at least a bug waiting to happen.

In addition, do some code and docs review for DROP INDEX CONCURRENTLY;
some cosmetic code cleanup but mostly addition and revision of comments.

This will need to be back-patched, but in a noticeably different form,
so I'm committing it to HEAD before working on the back-patch.

1f67078ea3 Add OpenTransientFile, with automatic cleanup at end-of-xact.
Files opened with BasicOpenFile or PathNameOpenFile are not automatically
cleaned up on error. That puts unnecessary burden on callers that only want
to keep the file open for a short time. There is AllocateFile, but that
returns a buffered FILE * stream, which in many cases is not the nicest API
to work with. So add function called OpenTransientFile, which returns a
unbuffered fd that's cleaned up like the FILE* returned by AllocateFile().

This plugs a few rare fd leaks in error cases:

1. copy_file() - fixed by by using OpenTransientFile instead of BasicOpenFile
2. XLogFileInit() - fixed by adding close() calls to the error cases. Can't
   use OpenTransientFile here because the fd is supposed to persist over
   transaction boundaries.
3. lo_import/lo_export - fixed by using OpenTransientFile instead of
   PathNameOpenFile.

In addition to plugging those leaks, this replaces many BasicOpenFile() calls
with OpenTransientFile() that were not leaking, because the code meticulously
closed the file on error. That wasn't strictly necessary, but IMHO it's good
for robustness.

The same leaks exist in older versions, but given the rarity of the issues,
I'm not backpatching this. Not yet, anyway - it might be good to backpatch
later, after this mechanism has had some more testing in master branch.

532994299e Revert patch for taking fewer snapshots.
This reverts commit d573e239f0, "Take fewer
snapshots".  While that seemed like a good idea at the time, it caused
execution to use a snapshot that had been acquired before locking any of
the tables mentioned in the query.  This created user-visible anomalies
that were not present in any prior release of Postgres, as reported by
Tomas Vondra.  While this whole area could do with a redesign (since there
are related cases that have anomalies anyway), it doesn't seem likely that
any future patch would be reasonably back-patchable; and we don't want 9.2
to exhibit a behavior that's subtly unlike either past or future releases.
Hence, revert to prior code while we rethink the problem.

d3237e04ca Fix SELECT DISTINCT with index-optimized MIN/MAX on inheritance trees.
In a query such as "SELECT DISTINCT min(x) FROM tab", the DISTINCT is
pretty useless (there being only one output row), but nonetheless it
shouldn't fail.  But it could fail if "tab" is an inheritance parent,
because planagg.c's code for fixing up equivalence classes after making the
index-optimized MIN/MAX transformation wasn't prepared to find child-table
versions of the aggregate expression.  The least ugly fix seems to be
to add an option to mutate_eclass_expressions() to skip child-table
equivalence class members, which aren't used anymore at this stage of
planning so it's not really necessary to fix them.  Since child members
are ignored in many cases already, it seems plausible for
mutate_eclass_expressions() to have an option to ignore them too.

Per bug #7703 from Maxim Boguk.

Back-patch to 9.1.  Although the same code exists before that, it cannot
encounter child-table aggregates AFAICS, because the index optimization
transformation cannot succeed on inheritance trees before 9.1 (for lack
of MergeAppend).

455b8887cf Fix pg_resetxlog to use correct path to postmaster.pid.
Since we've already chdir'd into the data directory, the file should
be referenced as just "postmaster.pid", without prefixing the directory
path.  This is harmless in the normal case where an absolute PGDATA path
is used, but quite dangerous if a relative path is specified, since the
program might then fail to notice an active postmaster.

24c19e6bf9 Avoid bogus "out-of-sequence timeline ID" errors in standby-mode.
When startup process opens a WAL segment after replaying part of it, it
validates the first page on the WAL segment, even though the page it's
really interested in later in the file. As part of the validation, it checks
that the TLI on the page header is >= the TLI it saw on the last page it
read. If the segment contains a timeline switch, and we have already
replayed it, and then re-open the WAL segment (because of streaming
replication got disconnected and reconnected, for example), the TLI check
will fail when the first page is validated. Fix that by relaxing the TLI
check when re-opening a WAL segment.

Backpatch to 9.0. Earlier versions had the same code, but before standby
mode was introduced in 9.0, recovery never tried to re-read a segment after
partially replaying it.

27b2c6a1ef Don't launch new child processes after we've been told to shut down.
Once we've received a shutdown signal (SIGINT or SIGTERM), we should not
launch any more child processes, even if we get signals requesting such.
The normal code path for spawning backends has always understood that,
but the postmaster's infrastructure for hot standby and autovacuum didn't
get the memo.  As reported by Hari Babu in bug #7643, this could lead to
failure to shut down at all in some cases, such as when SIGINT is received
just before the startup process sends PMSIGNAL_RECOVERY_STARTED: we'd
launch a bgwriter and checkpointer, and then those processes would have no
idea that they ought to quit.  Similarly, launching a new autovacuum worker
would result in waiting till it finished before shutting down.

Also, switch the order of the code blocks in reaper() that detect startup
process crash versus shutdown termination.  Once we've sent it a signal,
we should not consider that exit(1) is surprising.  This is just a cosmetic
fix since shutdown occurs correctly anyway, but better not to log a phony
complaint about startup process crash.

Back-patch to 9.0.  Some parts of this might be applicable before that,
but given the lack of prior complaints I'm not going to worry too much
about older branches.

5cb0e33597 Speed up operations on numeric, mostly by avoiding palloc() overhead.
In many functions, a NumericVar was initialized from an input Numeric, to be
passed as input to a calculation function. When the NumericVar is not
modified, the digits array of the NumericVar can point directly to the digits
array in the original Numeric, and we can avoid a palloc() and memcpy(). Add
init_var_from_num() function to initialize a var like that.

Remove dscale argument from get_str_from_var(), as all the callers just
passed the dscale of the variable. That means that the rounding it used to
do was not actually necessary, and get_str_from_var() no longer scribbles on
its input. That makes it safer in general, and allows us to use the new
init_var_from_num() function in e.g numeric_out().

Also modified numericvar_to_int8() to no scribble on its input either. It
creates a temporary copy to avoid that. To compensate, the callers no longer
need to create a temporary copy, so the net # of pallocs is the same, but this
is nicer.

In the passing, use a constant for the number 10 in get_str_from_var_sci(),
when calculating 10^exponent. Saves a palloc() and some cycles to convert
integer 10 to numeric.

1f7cb5c309 Improve handling of INT_MIN / -1 and related cases.
Some platforms throw an exception for this division, rather than returning
a necessarily-overflowed result.  Since we were testing for overflow after
the fact, an exception isn't nice.  We can avoid the problem by treating
division by -1 as negation.

Add some regression tests so that we'll find out if any compilers try to
optimize away the overflow check conditions.

This ought to be back-patched, but I'm going to see what the buildfarm
reports about the regression tests first.

644a0a6379 Fix archive_cleanup_command.
When I moved ExecuteRecoveryCommand() from xlog.c to xlogarchive.c, I didn't
realize that it's called from the checkpoint process, not the startup
process. I tried to use InRedo variable to decide whether or not to attempt
cleaning up the archive (must not do so before we have read the initial
checkpoint record), but that variable is only valid within the startup
process.

Instead, let ExecuteRecoveryCommand() always clean up the archive, and add
an explicit argument to RestoreArchivedFile() to say whether that's allowed
or not. The caller knows better.

b6e3798f3a Limit values of archive_timeout, post_auth_delay, auth_delay.milliseconds.
The previous definitions of these GUC variables allowed them to range
up to INT_MAX, but in point of fact the underlying code would suffer
overflows or other errors with large values.  Reduce the maximum values
to something that won't misbehave.  There's no apparent value in working
harder than this, since very large delays aren't sensible for any of
these.  (Note: the risk with archive_timeout is that if we're late
checking the state, the timestamp difference it's being compared to
might overflow.  So we need some amount of slop; the choice of INT_MAX/2
is arbitrary.)

significant fix, might as well back-patch.

The behavior with larger values is unspecified by the Single Unix Spec.
It appears that BSD-derived kernels report EINVAL, although Linux does not.
If waiting for longer intervals is desired, the calling code has to do
something to limit the delay; we can't portably fix it here since "long"
may not be any wider than "int" in the first place.

Part of response to bug #7670, though this change doesn't fix that
(in fact, it converts the problem from an ERROR into an Assert failure).

1746ba9256 Improve check_partial_indexes() to consider join clauses in proof attempts.
Traditionally check_partial_indexes() has only looked at restriction
clauses while trying to prove partial indexes usable in queries.  However,
join clauses can also be used in some cases; mainly, that a strict operator
on "x" proves an "x IS NOT NULL" index predicate, even if the operator is
in a join clause rather than a restriction clause.  Adding this code fixes
a regression in 9.2, because previously we would take join clauses into
account when considering whether a partial index could be used in a
nestloop inner indexscan path.  9.2 doesn't handle nestloop inner
indexscans in the same way, and this consideration was overlooked in the
rewrite.  Moving the work to check_partial_indexes() is a better solution
anyway, since the proof applies whether or not we actually use the index
in that particular way, and we don't have to do it over again for each
possible outer relation.  Per report from Dave Cramer.

273986bf0d Fix memory leaks in record_out() and record_send().
record_out() leaks memory: it fails to free the strings returned by the
per-column output functions, and also is careless about detoasted values.
This results in a query-lifespan memory leakage when returning composite
values to the client, because printtup() runs the output functions in the
query-lifespan memory context.  Fix it to handle these issues the same way
printtup() does.  Also fix a similar leakage in record_send().

(At some point we might want to try to run output functions in
shorter-lived memory contexts, so that we don't need a zero-leakage policy
for them.  But that would be a significantly more invasive patch, which
doesn't seem like material for back-patching.)

In passing, use appendStringInfoCharMacro instead of appendStringInfoChar
in the innermost data-copying loop of record_out, to try to shave a few
cycles from this function's runtime.

3bbf668de9 Fix multiple problems in WAL replay.
Most of the replay functions for WAL record types that modify more than
one page failed to ensure that those pages were locked correctly to ensure
that concurrent queries could not see inconsistent page states.  This is
a hangover from coding decisions made long before Hot Standby was added,
when it was hardly necessary to acquire buffer locks during WAL replay
at all, let alone hold them for carefully-chosen periods.

The key problem was that RestoreBkpBlocks was written to hold lock on each
page restored from a full-page image for only as long as it took to update
that page.  This was guaranteed to break any WAL replay function in which
there was any update-ordering constraint between pages, because even if the
nominal order of the pages is the right one, any mixture of full-page and
non-full-page updates in the same record would result in out-of-order
updates.  Moreover, it wouldn't work for situations where there's a
requirement to maintain lock on one page while updating another.  Failure
to honor an update ordering constraint in this way is thought to be the
cause of bug #7648 from Daniel Farina: what seems to have happened there
is that a btree page being split was rewritten from a full-page image
before the new right sibling page was written, and because lock on the
original page was not maintained it was possible for hot standby queries to
try to traverse the page's right-link to the not-yet-existing sibling page.

To fix, get rid of RestoreBkpBlocks as such, and instead create a new
function RestoreBackupBlock that restores just one full-page image at a
time.  This function can be invoked by WAL replay functions at the points
where they would otherwise perform non-full-page updates; in this way, the
physical order of page updates remains the same no matter which pages are
replaced by full-page images.  We can then further adjust the logic in
individual replay functions if it is necessary to hold buffer locks
for overlapping periods.  A side benefit is that we can simplify the
handling of concurrency conflict resolution by moving that code into the
record-type-specfic functions; there's no more need to contort the code
layout to keep conflict resolution in front of the RestoreBkpBlocks call.

In connection with that, standardize on zero-based numbering rather than
one-based numbering for referencing the full-page images.  In HEAD, I
removed the macros XLR_BKP_BLOCK_1 through XLR_BKP_BLOCK_4.  They are
still there in the header files in previous branches, but are no longer
used by the code.

In addition, fix some other bugs identified in the course of making these
changes:

spgRedoAddNode could fail to update the parent downlink at all, if the
parent tuple is in the same page as either the old or new split tuple and
we're not doing a full-page image: it would get fooled by the LSN having
been advanced already.  This would result in permanent index corruption,
not just transient failure of concurrent queries.

Also, ginHeapTupleFastInsert's "merge lists" case failed to mark the old
tail page as a candidate for a full-page image; in the worst case this
could result in torn-page corruption.

heap_xlog_freeze() was inconsistent about using a cleanup lock or plain
exclusive lock: it did the former in the normal path but the latter for a
full-page image.  A plain exclusive lock seems sufficient, so change to
that.

Also, remove gistRedoPageDeleteRecord(), which has been dead code since
VACUUM FULL was rewritten.

Back-patch to 9.0, where hot standby was introduced.  Note however that 9.0
had a significantly different WAL-logging scheme for GIST index updates,
and it doesn't appear possible to make that scheme safe for concurrent hot
standby queries, because it can leave inconsistent states in the index even
between WAL records.  Given the lack of complaints from the field, we won't
work too hard on fixing that branch.

9b3ac49e5a Use a stamp file for the XSLT HTML doc build
This way it works more like the DSSSL build, and dependencies are
tracked better by make.

Also copy the CSS stylesheet to the html directory.  This was forgotten
when the output directory was changed.

d092d116ed Oops, have to rename local variables called 'errcontext' in contrib, too.
As pointed out by Alvaro.

dbdf9679d7 Use correct text domain for translating errcontext() messages.
errcontext() is typically used in an error context callback function, not
within an ereport() invocation like e.g errmsg and errdetail are. That means
that the message domain that the TEXTDOMAIN magic in ereport() determines
is not the right one for the errcontext() calls. The message domain needs to
be determined by the C file containing the errcontext() call, not the file
containing the ereport() call.

Fix by turning errcontext() into a macro that passes the TEXTDOMAIN to use
for the errcontext message. "errcontext" was used in a few places as a
variable or struct field name, I had to rename those out of the way, now
that errcontext is a macro.

We've had this problem all along, but this isn't doesn't seem worth
backporting. It's a fairly minor issue, and turning errcontext from a
function to a macro requires at least a recompile of any external code that
calls errcontext().
