Tomas Vondra c1ec02be1d Reuse BrinDesc and BrinRevmap in brininsert
The brininsert code used to initialize (and destroy) BrinDesc and
BrinRevmap for each tuple, which is not free. This patch initializes
these structures only once, and reuses them for all inserts in the same
command. The data is passed through indexInfo->ii_AmCache.

This also introduces an optional AM callback "aminsertcleanup" that
allows performing custom cleanup in case simply pfree-ing ii_AmCache is
not sufficient (which is the case when the cache contains TupleDesc,
Buffers, and so on).

Amit Kapila 7c3fb505b1 Log messages for replication slot acquisition and release.
This commit log messages (at LOG level when log_replication_commands is
set, otherwise at DEBUG1 level) when walsenders acquire and release
replication slots. These messages help to know the lifetime of a
replication slot - one can know how long a streaming standby, logical
subscriber, or replication slot consumer is down. These messages will be
useful on production servers to debug and analyze inactive replication
slots.

Note that these messages are emitted only for walsenders but not for
backends. This is because walsenders are the ones that typically hold
replication slots for longer durations, unlike backends which hold them
for executing replication related functions.

Andres Freund 07cb29737a meson: Document build targets, add 'help' target
Currently important build targets are somewhat hard to discover. This commit
documents important meson build targets in the sgml documentation. But it's
awkward to have to lookup build targets in the docs when hacking, so this also
adds a 'help' target, printing out the same information. To avoid having to
duplicate information in two places, generate both docbook and interactive
docs from a single source.

While at it, move all target in doc/src/sgml/Makefile up to just after the
default "html" target, and add a comment explaining "all" is *not* the default

On the MERGE page, the description of the privileges required could be
taken to imply that the SELECT privilege is required on all columns of

referred to by conditions or expressions in the MERGE command. Re-word
it to make that a little clearer, and mention expressions as well as

Michael Paquier 2e8a0edc2a Add target "slru" to pg_stat_reset_shared()
Currently, pg_stat_reset_shared() cannot reset the counters in the view
pg_stat_slru even if it is a type of shared stats.  This patch adds
support for a new value in pg_stat_reset_shared(), called "slru", able
to do that.  Note that pg_stat_reset_shared(NULL) also resets SLRU
counters.

There may be a point in removing pg_stat_reset_slru() that was
introduced in 28cac71bd3 (v13~) as the new option overlaps with this
function, but we would lose the ability to reset individual SLRU
counters.  This is left for future reconsideration.

Dean Rasheed 519fc1bd9e Support +/- infinity in the interval data type.
This adds support for infinity to the interval data type, using the
same input/output representation as the other date/time data types
that support infinity. This allows various arithmetic operations on
infinite dates, timestamps and intervals.

The new values are represented by setting all fields of the interval
to INT32/64_MIN for -infinity, and INT32/64_MAX for +infinity. This
ensures that they compare as less/greater than all other interval
values, without the need for any special-case comparison code.

Note that, since those 2 values were formerly accepted as legal finite
intervals, pg_upgrade and dump/restore from an old database will turn
them from finite to infinite intervals. That seems OK, since those
exact values should be extremely rare in practice, and they are
outside the documented range supported by the interval type, which
gives us a certain amount of leeway.

Michael Paquier e5cca6288a Add support for pg_stat_reset_slru without argument
pg_stat_reset_slru currently requires an input argument, either:
- NULL to reset the SLRU counters of everything.
- A specific value to reset a single SLRU cache.

This commit adds support for a new pattern: pg_stat_reset_slru without
any argument works the same way as pg_stat_reset_slru(NULL), relying on
a DEFAULT in the function definition to handle this case.  This makes
the function more consistent with 23c8c0c8f4.

Tom Lane d1379ebf4c Improve default and empty privilege outputs in psql.
Default privileges are represented as NULL::aclitem[] in catalog ACL
columns, while revoking all privileges leaves an empty aclitem[].
These two cases used to produce identical output in psql meta-commands
like \dp.  Using something like "\pset null '(default)'" as a
workaround for spotting the difference did not work, because null
values were always displayed as empty strings by describe.c's
meta-commands.

This patch improves that with two changes:

1. Print "(none)" for empty privileges so that the user is able to
   distinguish them from default privileges, even without special
   workarounds.

2. Remove the special handling of null values in describe.c,
   so that "\pset null" is honored like everywhere else.
   (This affects all output from these commands, not only ACLs.)

The privileges shown by \dconfig+ and \ddp as well as the column
privileges shown by \dp are not affected by change #1, because the
respective aclitem[] is reset to NULL or deleted from the catalog
instead of leaving an empty array.

Tom Lane 83472de606 Improve readability and error detection of array_in().
Rewrite array_in() and its subroutines so that we make only one
pass over the input text, rather than two.  This requires
potentially re-pallocing the working arrays values[] and nulls[]
larger than our initial guess, but that cost will hopefully be made
up by avoiding duplicate parsing.  In any case this coding seems
much clearer and more straightforward than what we had before.

This also fixes array_in() to reject non-rectangular input (that is,
different brace depths in different parts of the input) more reliably
than before, and to give a better error message when it does so.
This is analogous to the plpython and plperl fixes in 0553528e7 and
f47004add.  Like those PLs, we now accept input such as '{{},{}}'
as a valid representation of an empty array, which we did not before.

Additionally, reject explicit array subscripts that are outside the
integer range (previously you just got whatever atoi() converted
them to), and make some other minor improvements in error reporting.

Although this is arguably a bug fix, it's also a behavioral change
that might trip somebody up, so no back-patch.

Michael Paquier 23c8c0c8f4 Add ability to reset all shared stats types in pg_stat_reset_shared()
Currently, pg_stat_reset_shared() can use an argument to specify the
target of statistics to reset, doing nothing for NULL as it is strict.

This patch adds to pg_stat_reset_shared() the possibility to reset all
the stats types already handled in this function rather than do nothing
if the argument value given is NULL or if nothing is specified
(proisstrict is switched to false).  Like previously, SLRUs are not
included in what gets reset.

The idea to use NULL or no argument to control if all the shared stats
already covered by this function should be reset has been proposed by
Andres Freund.

man documentation.  We have done this consistent with established
practice at the time to not require these tools for building from a
tarball.  Some of these tools were hard to get, or get the right
version of, from time to time, and shipping the prebuilt output was a
convenience to users.

Now this has at least two problems:

One, we have to make the build system(s) work in two modes: Building
from a git checkout and building from a tarball.  This is pretty
complicated, but it works so far for autoconf/make.  It does not
currently work for meson; you can currently only build with meson from
a git checkout.  Making meson builds work from a tarball seems very
difficult or impossible.  One particular problem is that since meson
requires a separate build directory, we cannot make the build update
files like gram.h in the source tree.  So if you were to build from a
tarball and update gram.y, you will have a gram.h in the source tree
and one in the build tree, but the way things work is that the
compiler will always use the one in the source tree.  So you cannot,
for example, make any gram.y changes when building from a tarball.
This seems impossible to fix in a non-horrible way.

Second, there is increased interest nowadays in precisely tracking the
origin of software.  We can reasonably track contributions into the
git tree, and users can reasonably track the path from a tarball to
packages and downloads and installs.  But what happens between the git
tree and the tarball is obscure and in some cases non-reproducible.

The solution for both of these issues is to get rid of the step that
adds prebuilt files to the tarball.  The tarball now only contains
what is in the git tree (*).  Getting the additional build
dependencies is no longer a problem nowadays, and the complications to
keep these dual build modes working are significant.  And of course we
want to get the meson build system working universally.

This commit removes the make distprep target altogether.  The make
dist target continues to do its job, it just doesn't call distprep
anymore.

(*) - The tarball also contains the INSTALL file that is built at make
dist time, but not by distprep.  This is unchanged for now.

The make maintainer-clean target, whose job it is to remove the
prebuilt files in addition to what make distclean does, is now just an
alias to make distprep.  (In practice, it is probably obsolete given
that git clean is available.)

The following programs are now hard build requirements in configure
(they were already required by meson.build):

- bison
- flex
- perl

Daniel Gustafsson 526fe0d799 Add XMLText function (SQL/XML X038)
This function implements the standard XMLTest function, which
converts text into xml text nodes. It uses the libxml2 function
xmlEncodeSpecialChars to escape predefined entities (&"<>), so
that those do not cause any conflict when concatenating the text
node output with existing xml documents.

This also adds a note in  features.sgml about not supporting
XML(SEQUENCE). The SQL specification defines a RETURNING clause
to a set of XML functions, where RETURNING CONTENT or RETURNING
SEQUENCE can be defined. Since PostgreSQL doesn't support
XML(SEQUENCE) all of these functions operate with an
implicit RETURNING CONTENT.
