Tom Lane 10685ec082 Avoid somewhat-theoretical overflow risks in RecordIsValid().
This improves on commit 51fed14d73 by
eliminating the assumption that we can form <some pointer value> +
<some offset> without overflow.  The entire point of those tests is that
we don't trust the offset value, so coding them in a way that could wrap
around if the buffer happens to be near the top of memory doesn't seem
sound.  Instead, track the remaining space as a size_t variable and
compare offsets against that.

Also, improve comment about why we need the extra early check on
xl_tot_len.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	http://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
