They were marked to return a boolean, but they actually return a
GinTernaryValue, which is more like a "char". It makes no practical
difference, as the triConsistent functions cannot be called directly from
SQL because they have "internal" arguments, but this nevertheless seems
more correct.
Also fix the GinTernaryValue name in the documentation. I renamed the enum
earlier, but neglected the docs.

This new GUC context option allows GUC parameters to have the combined
properties of PGC_BACKEND and PGC_SUSET, ie, they don't change after
session start and non-superusers can't change them. This is a more
appropriate choice for log_connections and log_disconnections than their
previous context of PGC_BACKEND, because we don't want non-superusers
to be able to affect whether their sessions get logged.
Note: the behavior for log_connections is still a bit odd, in that when
a superuser attempts to set it from PGOPTIONS, the setting takes effect
but it's too late to enable or suppress connection startup logging.
It's debatable whether that's worth fixing, and in any case there is
a reasonable argument for PGC_SU_BACKEND to exist.
In passing, re-pgindent the files touched by this commit.

Instead of just erroring out when a tool is missing, wrap the call with
the "missing" script that we are already using for bison, flex, and
perl, so that the users get a useful error message.
Since this makes the bucket headers use ~10x as much memory, properly
account for that memory when we figure out whether everything fits
in work_mem. This might result in some cases that previously used
only a single batch getting split into multiple batches, but it's
unclear as yet whether we need defenses against that case, and if so,
what the shape of those defenses should be.
It's worth noting that even in these edge cases, users should still be
no worse off than they would have been last week, because commit
45f6240a8f saved a big pile of memory
on exactly the same workloads.

Previously replication commands like IDENTIFY_COMMAND were not logged
even when log_statements is set to all. Some users who want to audit
all types of statements were not satisfied with this situation. To
address the problem, this commit adds new GUC log_replication_commands.
If it's enabled, all replication commands are logged in the server log.
There are many ways to allow us to enable that logging. For example,
we can extend log_statement so that replication commands are logged
when it's set to all. But per discussion in the community, we reached
the consensus to add separate GUC for that.

With the unicode linestyle, this adds support to control if the
column, header, or border style should be single or double line
unicode characters. The default remains 'single'.
In passing, clean up the border documentation and address some
minor formatting/spelling issues.
Pavel Stehule, with some additional changes by me.
In psql, expanded mode was not being displayed correctly when using
the normal ascii or unicode linestyles and border set to '3'. Now,
per the documentation, border '3' is really only sensible for HTML
and LaTeX formats, however, that's no excuse for ascii/unicode to
break in that case, and provisions had been made for psql to cleanly
handle this case (and it did, in non-expanded mode).
This was broken when ascii/unicode was initially added a good five
years ago because print_aligned_vertical_line wasn't passed in the
border setting being used by print_aligned_vertical but instead was
given the whole printTableContent. There really isn't a good reason
for vertical_line to have the entire printTableContent structure, so
just pass in the printTextFormat and border setting (similar to how
this is handled in horizontal_line).
Pointed out by Pavel Stehule, fix by me.

This patch makes libpq check the server's hostname against DNS names listed
in the X509 subjectAltName extension field in the server certificate. This
allows the same certificate to be used for multiple domain names. If there
are no SANs in the certificate, the Common Name field is used, like before
this patch. If both are given, the Common Name is ignored. That is a bit
surprising, but that's the behavior mandated by the relevant RFCs, and it's
also what the common web browsers do.
This also adds a libpq_ngettext helper macro to allow plural messages to be
translated in libpq. Apparently this happened to be the first plural message
in libpq, so it was not needed before.

The code that tried to split a page at 75/25 ratio, when appending to the
end of an index, was buggy in two ways. First, there was a silly typo that
caused it to just fill the left page as full as possible. But the logic as
it was intended wasn't correct either, and would actually have given a ratio
closer to 60/40 than 75/25.
Gaetano Mendola spotted the typo. Backpatch to 9.4, where this code was added.
The code for raising a NUMERIC value to an integer power wasn't very
careful about large powers. It got an outright wrong answer for an
exponent of INT_MIN, due to failure to consider overflow of the Abs(exp)
operation; which is fixable by using an unsigned rather than signed
exponent value after that point. Also, even though the number of
iterations of the power-computation loop is pretty limited, it's easy for
the repeated squarings to result in ridiculously enormous intermediate
values, which can take unreasonable amounts of time/memory to process,
or even overflow the internal "weight" field and so produce a wrong answer.
We can forestall misbehaviors of that sort by bailing out as soon as the
weight value exceeds what will fit in int16, since then the final answer
must overflow (if exp > 0) or underflow (if exp < 0) the packed numeric
format.
Per off-list report from Pavel Stehule. Back-patch to all supported

Provide an option to skip NULL values in a row when generating a JSON
object from that row with row_to_json. This can reduce the size of the
JSON object in cases where columns are NULL without really reducing the
information in the JSON object.
This also makes row_to_json into a single function with default values,
rather than having multiple functions. In passing, change array_to_json
to also be a single function with default values (we don't add an
'ignore_nulls' option yet- it's not clear that there is a sensible
use-case there, and it hasn't been asked for in any case).

The previous coding first generated a uniform random value between 0.0 and
1.0, then converted that to an integer between 1 and 10000, and divided that
again by 10000. Those conversions are unnecessary; we can use the double
value that pg_erand48() returns directly. While we're at it, put the logic
into a helper function, getPoissonRand().
The largest delay generated by the old coding was about 9.2 times the
average, because of the way the uniformly distributed value used for the
calculation was truncated to 1/10000 granularity. The new coding doesn't
have such clamping. With my laptop's DBL_MIN value, the maximum delay with
the new coding is about 700x the average. That seems acceptable - any
reasonable pgbench session should last long enough to average that out.
Backpatch to 9.4.
The reported latency values now include the "schedule lag" time, that is,
the time between the transaction's scheduled start time and the time it
actually started. This relates better to a model where requests arrive at a
certain rate, and we are interested in the response time to the end user or
application, rather than the response time of the database itself.
Also, when --rate is used, include the schedule lag time in the log output.
The --rate option is new in 9.4, so backpatch to 9.4. It seems better to
make this change in 9.4, while we're still in the beta period, than ship a
9.4 version that calculates the values differently than 9.5.
Apparently, older versions of "prove" (couldn't identify the exact
version from the changelog) don't look into the t/ directory for tests
by default, so specify it explicitly.
Instead of palloc'ing each HashJoinTuple individually, allocate 32kB chunks
and pack the tuples densely in the chunks. This avoids the AllocChunk
header overhead, and the space wasted by standard allocator's habit of
rounding sizes up to the nearest power of two.
This doesn't contain any planner changes, because the planner's estimate of
memory usage ignores the palloc overhead. Now that the overhead is smaller,
the planner's estimates are in fact more accurate.

07c8651dd9 currently causes compilation errors on mscv (and
probably some other) compilers because our getopt_long()
implementation doesn't have support for optional_argument.
Thus implement optional_argument in our fallback implemenation. It's
quite possibly also useful in other cases.
Arguably this needs a configure check for optional_argument, but it
has existed pretty much since getopt_long() was introduced and thus
doesn't seem worth the configure runtime.
Normally I'd would not push a patch this fast, but this allows msvc to
build again and has low risk as only optional_argument behaviour has
changed.

The code I added in commit f343a880d5 was
careless about preserving AND/OR flatness: it could create a structure with
an OR node directly underneath another one. That breaks an assumption
that's fairly important for planning efficiency, not to mention triggering
various Asserts (as reported by Benjamin Smith). Add a trifle more logic
to handle the case properly.
Add --help=<topic> for the commandline, and \? <topic> as a backslash
command, to show more help than the invocations without parameters
do. "commands", "variables" and "options" currently exist as help
topics describing, respectively, backslash commands, psql variables,
and commandline switches. Without parameters the help commands show
their previous topic.
Some further wordsmithing or extending of the added help content might
be needed; but there seems little benefit delaying the overall feature
further.

Previously, they functioned as barriers against CPU reordering but not
compiler reordering, an odd API that required extensive use of volatile
everywhere that spinlocks are used. That's error-prone and has negative
implications for performance, so change it.
In theory, this makes it safe to remove many of the uses of volatile
that we currently have in our code base, but we may find that there are
some bugs in this effort when we do. In the long run, though, this
should make for much more maintainable code.

This provides a convenient method of classifying input values into buckets
that are not necessarily equal-width. It works on any sortable data type.
The choice of function name is a bit debatable, perhaps, but showing that
there's a relationship to the SQL standard's width_bucket() function seems
more attractive than the other proposals.

Some Sparc CPUs can be run in various coherence models, ranging from
RMO (relaxed) over PSO (partial) to TSO (total). Solaris has always
run CPUs in TSO mode while in userland, but linux didn't use to and
the various *BSDs still don't. Unfortunately the sparc TAS/S_UNLOCK
were only correct under TSO. Fix that by adding the necessary memory
barrier instructions. On sparcv8+, which should be all relevant CPUs,
these are treated as NOPs if the current consistency model doesn't
require the barriers.

psql's \s (print command history) doesn't work at all with recent libedit
versions when printing to the terminal, because libedit tries to do an
fchmod() on the target file which will fail if the target is /dev/tty.
(We'd already noted this in the context of the target being /dev/null.)
Even before that, it didn't work pleasantly, because libedit likes to
encode the command history file (to ensure successful reloading), which
renders it nigh unreadable, not to mention significantly different-looking
depending on exactly which libedit version you have. So let's forget using
write_history() for this purpose, and instead print the data ourselves,
using logic similar to that used to iterate over the history for newline
encoding/decoding purposes.
While we're at it, insert the ability to use the pager when \s is printing
to the terminal. This has been an acknowledged shortcoming of \s for many
years, so while you could argue it's not exactly a back-patchable bug fix
it still seems like a good improvement. Anyone who's seriously annoyed
at this can use "\s /dev/tty" or local equivalent to get the old behavior.
Experimentation with this showed that the history iteration logic was
actually rather broken when used with libedit. It turns out that with
libedit you have to use previous_history() not next_history() to advance
to more recent history entries. The easiest and most robust fix for this
seems to be to make a run-time test to verify which function to call.
We had not noticed this because libedit doesn't really need the newline
encoding logic: its own encoding ensures that command entries containing
newlines are reloaded correctly (unlike libreadline). So the effective
behavior with recent libedits was that only the oldest history entry got
newline-encoded or newline-decoded. However, because of yet other bugs in
history_set_pos(), some old versions of libedit allowed the existing loop
logic to reach entries besides the oldest, which means there may be libedit
~/.psql_history files out there containing encoded newlines in more than
just the oldest entry. To ensure we can reload such files, it seems
appropriate to back-patch this fix, even though that will result in some
incompatibility with older psql versions (ie, multiline history entries
written by a psql with this fix will look corrupted to a psql without it,
if its libedit is reasonably up to date).
