Tom Lane 9a109452da Fix bugs in contrib/pg_visibility.
collect_corrupt_items() failed to initialize tuple.t_self.  While
HeapTupleSatisfiesVacuum() doesn't actually use that value, it does
Assert that it's valid, so that the code would dump core if ip_posid
chanced to be zero.  (That's somewhat unlikely, which probably explains
how this got missed.  In any case it wouldn't matter for field use.)

Also, collect_corrupt_items was returning the wrong TIDs, that is the
contents of t_ctid rather than the tuple's own location.  This would
be the same thing in simple cases, but it could be wrong if, for
example, a past update attempt had been rolled back, leaving a live
tuple whose t_ctid doesn't point at itself.

Also, in pg_visibility(), guard against trying to read a page past
the end of the rel.  The VM code handles inquiries beyond the end
of the map by silently returning zeroes, and it seems like we should
do the same thing here.

I ran into the assertion failure while using pg_visibility to check
pg_upgrade's behavior, and then noted the other problems while
reading the code.

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.  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/.
