89fefd9416 Reduce the permissions check needed to use pgrowlocks() to having
SELECT on the target table.  Per discussion.

a41e46b261 Require SELECT privilege on a table to do dblink_get_pkey(). This is
not all that exciting when the system catalogs are readable by all,
but some people try to lock them down, and would not like this sort of
end run ...

56f3fb3ba1 Restrict pgrowlocks function to superusers. (This might be too strict,
but no permissions check at all is certainly no good.)  Clean up usage
of some deprecated APIs.

e4a52eca35 The upper limit for -c option of pgbench is now obtained from

b918bf86c6 Fix combo_decrypt() to throw an error for zero-length input when using a
padded encryption scheme.  Formerly it would try to access res[(unsigned) -1],
which resulted in core dumps on 64-bit machines, and was certainly trouble
waiting to happen on 32-bit machines (though in at least the known case
it was harmless because that byte would be overwritten after return).
Per report from Ken Colson; fix by Marko Kreen.

46dedde524 contrib/tsearch2 now fails its regression test because of conflicts with
the core additions.  For the moment I diked it out of contrib/Makefile.
We should look at turning it into a backward-compatibility package.

82eed4dba2 Arrange to put TOAST tables belonging to temporary tables into special schemas
named pg_toast_temp_nnn, alongside the pg_temp_nnn schemas used for the temp
tables themselves.  This allows low-level code such as the relcache to
recognize that these tables are indeed temporary, which enables various
optimizations such as not WAL-logging changes and using local rather than
shared buffers for access.  Aside from obvious performance benefits, this
provides a solution to bug #3483, in which other backends unexpectedly held
open file references to temporary tables.  The scheme preserves the property
that TOAST tables are not in any schema that's normally in the search path,
so they don't conflict with user table names.

initdb forced because of changes in system view definitions.

2a275e6d3c Fix pg_buffercache to release buffer partition locks in reverse order,
and add a note about why.  This is not tremendously important right now,
probably, but it will get more urgent if NUM_BUFFER_PARTITIONS is increased
as much as proposed.

d92583f88e Restrict non-superusers to password authenticated connections
to prevent possible escalation of privilege. Provide new SECURITY
DEFINER functions with old behavior, but initially REVOKE ALL
from public for these functions. Per list discussion and design
proposed by Tom Lane. A different approach will be used for
back-branches, committed separately.

b13cc9579c The functions bt_metap, bt_page_stats and bt_page_items had moved

documentation, but Japanese version does not catch up.

31edbadf4a Downgrade implicit casts to text to be assignment-only, except for the ones
from the other string-category types; this eliminates a lot of surprising
interpretations that the parser could formerly make when there was no directly
applicable operator.

Create a general mechanism that supports casts to and from the standard string
types (text,varchar,bpchar) for *every* datatype, by invoking the datatype's
I/O functions.  These new casts are assignment-only in the to-string direction,
explicit-only in the other, and therefore should create no surprising behavior.
Remove a bunch of thereby-obsoleted datatype-specific casting functions.

The "general mechanism" is a new expression node type CoerceViaIO that can
actually convert between *any* two datatypes if their external text
representations are compatible.  This is more general than needed for the
immediate feature, but might be useful in plpgsql or other places in future.

This commit does nothing about the issue that applying the concatenation
operator || to non-text types will now fail, often with strange error messages
due to misinterpreting the operator as array concatenation.  Since it often
(not always) worked before, we should either make it succeed or at least give
a more user-friendly error; but details are still under debate.

bd0a260928 Make CREATE/DROP/RENAME DATABASE wait a little bit to see if other backends
will exit before failing because of conflicting DB usage.  Per discussion,
this seems a good idea to help mask the fact that backend exit takes nonzero
time.  Remove a couple of thereby-obsoleted sleeps in contrib and PL
regression test sequences.

a868e24660 Avoid assuming that the fields of struct timeval have exactly type long.
This is probably incorrect on some platforms, and definitely draws a
compiler warning on Darwin.

0fef38da21 Tweak hash index AM to use the new ReadOrZeroBuffer bufmgr API when fetching
pages it intends to zero immediately.  Just to show there is some use for that
function besides WAL recovery :-).
Along the way, fold _hash_checkpage and _hash_pageinit calls into _hash_getbuf
and friends, instead of expecting callers to do that separately.

Andrew Dunstan
6506a584cc Enable building contrib/xml2 if configured using --with-libxml.
If this breaks things due to missing libxslt, then I'll have to
revert it, but let's see if it breaks the buildfarm.

Workarounds in case libxslt is missing include:
. don't configure with libxml, or
. don't build contrib modules from the contrib Makefile (use the individual module Makefiles instead), or
. change the xml2 Makefile
