Peter Eisentraut c99d5d1bcc doc: Fix <synopsis> in <term> markup
Although the DTD technically allows this, the resulting HTML is invalid
because it puts block elements inside inline elements.  DocBook 5.0 also
doesn't allow it anymore, so it's fair to assume that this was never
really intended to work.  Replace <synopsis> with <literal>, which is
the markup used elsewhere in the documentation in similar cases.

It claimed the value was always zero; it is really always -1.

Tom Lane 964c0d0f80 Prevent pushing down WHERE clauses into unsafe UNION/INTERSECT nests.
The planner is aware that it mustn't push down upper-level quals into
subqueries if the quals reference subquery output columns that contain
set-returning functions or volatile functions, or are non-DISTINCT outputs
of a DISTINCT ON subquery.  However, it missed making this check when
there were one or more levels of UNION or INTERSECT above the dangerous
expression.  This could lead to "set-valued function called in context that
cannot accept a set" errors, as seen in bug #8213 from Eric Soroos, or to
silently wrong answers in the other cases.

To fix, refactor the checks so that we make the column-is-unsafe checks
during subquery_is_pushdown_safe(), which already has to recursively
inspect all arms of a set-operation tree.  This makes
qual_is_pushdown_safe() considerably simpler, at the cost that we will
spend some cycles checking output columns that possibly aren't referenced
in any upper qual.  But the cases where this code gets executed at all
are already nontrivial queries, so it's unlikely anybody will notice any
slowdown of planning.

This has been broken since commit 05f916e6ad,
which makes the bug over ten years old.  A bit surprising nobody noticed it
before now.

Tom Lane 3f783c8827 Put analyze_keyword back in explain_option_name production.
In commit 2c92edad48, I broke "EXPLAIN
(ANALYZE)" syntax, because I mistakenly thought that ANALYZE/ANALYSE were
only partially reserved and thus would be included in NonReservedWord;
but actually they're fully reserved so they still need to be called out
here.

A nicer solution would be to demote these words to type_func_name_keyword
status (they can't be less than that because of "VACUUM [ANALYZE] ColId").
While that works fine so far as the core grammar is concerned, it breaks
ECPG's grammar for reasons I don't have time to isolate at the moment.
So do this for the time being.

Per report from Kevin Grittner.  Back-patch to 9.0, like the previous
commit.

Tom Lane 530acda4da Provide better message when CREATE EXTENSION can't find a target schema.
The new message (and SQLSTATE) matches the corresponding error cases in
namespace.c.

This was thought to be a "can't happen" case when extension.c was written,
so we didn't think hard about how to report it.  But it definitely can
happen in 9.2 and later, since we no longer require search_path to contain
any valid schema names.  It's probably also possible in 9.1 if search_path
came from a noninteractive source.  So, back-patch to all releases
containing this code.

Per report from Sean Chittenden, though this isn't exactly his patch.

Tom Lane 5c7603c318 Add ARM64 (aarch64) support to s_lock.h.
Use the same gcc atomic functions as we do on newer ARM chips.
(Basically this is a copy and paste of the __arm__ code block,
but omitting the SWPB option since that definitely won't work.)

Back-patch to 9.2.  The patch would work further back, but we'd also
need to update config.guess/config.sub in older branches to make them
build out-of-the-box, and there hasn't been demand for it.

Tom Lane dbc6eb1f4b Fix memory leak in LogStandbySnapshot().
The array allocated by GetRunningTransactionLocks() needs to be pfree'd
when we're done with it.  Otherwise we leak some memory during each
checkpoint, if wal_level = hot_standby.  This manifests as memory bloat
in the checkpointer process, or in bgwriter in versions before we made
the checkpointer separate.

Reported and fixed by Naoya Anzai.  Back-patch to 9.0 where the issue
was introduced.

In passing, improve comments for GetRunningTransactionLocks(), and add
an Assert that we didn't overrun the palloc'd array.

Tom Lane 035a5e1e8c Add semicolons to eval'd strings to hide a minor Perl behavioral change.
"eval q{foo}" used to complain that the error was on line 2 of the eval'd
string, because eval internally tacked on "\n;" so that the end of the
erroneous command was indeed on line 2.  But as of Perl 5.18 it more
sanely says that the error is on line 1.  To avoid Perl-version-dependent
regression test results, use "eval q{foo;}" instead in the two places
where this matters.  Per buildfarm.

Since people might try to use newer Perl versions with older PG releases,
back-patch as far as 9.0 where these test cases were added.

Heikki Linnakangas 15386281a6 Put back allow_system_table_mods check in heap_create().
This reverts commit a475c60367.

Erik Rijkers reported back in January 2013 that after the patch, if you do
"pg_dump -t myschema.mytable" to dump a single table, and restore that in
a database where myschema does not exist, the table is silently created in
pg_catalog instead. That is because pg_dump uses
"SET search_path=myschema, pg_catalog" to set schema the table is created
in. While allow_system_table_mods is not a very elegant solution to this,
we can't leave it as it is, so for now, revert it back to the way it was
previously.

Heikki Linnakangas e1e2bb34f1 Code review of recycling WAL segments in a restartpoint.
Seems cleaner to get the currently-replayed TLI in the same call to
GetXLogReplayRecPtr that we get the WAL position. Make it more clear in the
comment what the code does when recovery has already ended
(RecoveryInProgress() will set ThisTimeLineID in that case). Finally, make
resetting ThisTimeLineID afterwards more explicit.

Tom Lane 2c92edad48 Allow type_func_name_keywords in some places where they weren't before.
This change makes type_func_name_keywords less reserved than they were
before, by allowing them for role names, language names, EXPLAIN and COPY
options, and SET values for GUCs; which are all places where few if any
actual keywords could appear instead, so no new ambiguities are introduced.

The main driver for this change is to allow "COPY ... (FORMAT BINARY)"
to work without quoting the word "binary".  That is an inconsistency that
has been complained of repeatedly over the years (at least by Pavel Golub,
Kurt Lidl, and Simon Riggs); but we hadn't thought of any non-ugly solution
until now.

Back-patch to 9.0 where the COPY (FORMAT BINARY) syntax was introduced.

Stephen Frost 05624220c4 Documentation fix for ALTER TYPE .. RENAME
The documentation for ALTER TYPE .. RENAME claimed to support a
RESTRICT/CASCADE option at the 'type' level, which wasn't implemented
and doesn't make a whole lot of sense to begin with.  What is supported,
and previously undocumented, is

ALTER TYPE .. RENAME ATTRIBUTE .. RESTRICT/CASCADE.

I've updated the documentation and back-patched this to 9.1 where it was
first introduced.

Heikki Linnakangas e2ef289363 Print line number correctly in COPY.
When COPY uses the multi-insert method to insert a batch of tuples into the
heap at a time, incorrect line number was printed if something went wrong in
inserting the index tuples (primary key failure, for exampl), or processing
after row triggers.

Fixes bug #8173 reported by Lloyd Albin. Backpatch to 9.2, where the multi-
insert code was added.

Simon Riggs 75a192638f Maintain ThisTimeLineID correctly in checkpointer
checkpointer needs to reset ThisTimeLineID after

would leave ThisTimeLineID set incorrectly and
so we must reset it otherwise later checkpoints
do not have the correct timeline.

Heikki Linnakangas 30b5ede715 Fix escaping in generated recovery.conf file.
In the primary_conninfo line that "pg_basebackup -R" generates, single
quotes in parameter values need to be escaped into \\'; the libpq parser
requires the quotes to be escaped into \', and recovery.conf parser requires
the \ to be escaped into \\.

Also, don't quote parameter values unnecessarily, to make the connection
string prettier. Most options in a libpq connection string don't need
quoting.
