We usually don't use "namespace" in user-facing error messages.  Also,  
in master this was replaced by another error message referring to  
"temporary objects", so we might as well use that here to avoid  
introducing too many variants.

Solve cross-version-upgrade testing problem induced by 1fb57af92.

Renaming varchar_transform to varchar_support had a side effect  
I hadn't foreseen: the core regression tests leave around a  
transform object that relies on that function, so the name  
change breaks cross-version upgrade tests, because the name  
used in the older branches doesn't match.  
  
Since the dependency on varchar_transform was chosen with the  
aid of a dartboard anyway (it would surely not work as a  
language transform support function), fix by just choosing  
a different random builtin function with the right signature.  
Also add some comments explaining why this isn't horribly unsafe.  
  
I chose to make the same substitution in a couple of other  
copied-and-pasted test cases, for consistency, though those  
aren't directly contributing to the testing problem.  
  
Per buildfarm.  Back-patch, else it doesn't fix the problem.

warn_or_exit_horribly() was blithely passing a potentially-NULL  
string pointer to a %s format specifier.  That works (at least  
to the extent of not crashing) on some platforms, but not all,  
and since we switched to our own snprintf.c it doesn't work  
for us anywhere.  
  
Of the three string fields being handled this way here, I think  
that only "owner" is supposed to be nullable ... but considering  
that this is error-reporting code, it has very little business  
assuming anything, so put in defenses for all three.  
  
Per a crash observed on buildfarm member crake and then  
reproduced here.  Because of the portability aspect,  
back-patch to all supported versions.

The previous ordering of these steps satisfied the nominal requirement  
that set_rel_pathlist_hook could editorialize on the whole set of Paths  
constructed for a base relation.  In practice, though, trying to change  
the set of partial paths was impossible.  Adding one didn't work because  
(a) it was too late to be included in Gather paths made by the core code,  
and (b) calling add_partial_path after generate_gather_paths is unsafe,  
because it might try to delete a path it thinks is dominated, but that  
is already embedded in some Gather path(s).  Nor could the hook safely  
remove partial paths, for the same reason that they might already be  
embedded in Gathers.  
  
Better to call extensions first, let them add partial paths as desired,  
and then gather.  In v11 and up, we already doubled down on that ordering  
by postponing gathering even further for single-relation queries; so even  
if the hook wished to editorialize on Gather path construction, it could  
not.  
  
Report and patch by KaiGai Kohei.  Back-patch to 9.6 where Gather paths  
were added.

While this isn't really supposed to happen, it can occur in OOM  
situations and perhaps others.  Instead of crashing, substitute  
"(no message provided)".  
  
I didn't worry about localizing this text, since we aren't  
localizing anything else here; besides, if we're on the edge of  
OOM, it's unlikely gettext() would work.

Ensure that foreign scans with lateral refs are planned correctly.

As reported in bug #15613 from Srinivasan S A, file_fdw and postgres_fdw  
neglected to mark plain baserel foreign paths as parameterized when the  
relation has lateral_relids.  Other FDWs have surely copied this mistake,  
so rather than just patching those two modules, install a band-aid fix  
in create_foreignscan_path to rectify the mistake centrally.  
  
Although the band-aid is enough to fix the visible symptom, correct  
the calls in file_fdw and postgres_fdw anyway, so that they are valid  
examples for external FDWs.  
  
Also, since the band-aid isn't enough to make this work for parameterized  
foreign joins, throw an elog(ERROR) if such a case is passed to  
create_foreignscan_path.  This shouldn't pose much of a problem for  
existing external FDWs, since it's likely they aren't trying to make such  
paths anyway (though some of them may need a defense against joins with  
lateral_relids, similar to the one this patch installs into postgres_fdw).  
  
Add some assertions in relnode.c to catch future occurrences of the same  
error --- in particular, as backstop against core-code mistakes like the  
one fixed by commit bdd9a99aa.

The modules RewindTest.pm and ServerSetup.pm are really only useful for  
TAP tests, so they really belong in the TAP test directories. In  
addition, ServerSetup.pm is renamed to SSLServer.pm.  
  
The test scripts have their own directories added to the search path so  
that the relocated modules will be found, regardless of where the tests  
are run from, even on modern perl where "." is no longer in the  
searchpath.

Propagate lateral-reference information to indirect descendant relations.

create_lateral_join_info() computes a bunch of information about lateral  
references between base relations, and then attempts to propagate those  
markings to appendrel children of the original base relations.  But the  
original coding neglected the possibility of indirect descendants  
(grandchildren etc).  During v11 development we noticed that this was  
wrong for partitioned-table cases, but failed to realize that it was just  
as wrong for any appendrel.  While the case can't arise for appendrels  
derived from traditional table inheritance (because we make a flat  
appendrel for that), nested appendrels can arise from nested UNION ALL  
subqueries.  Failure to mark the lower-level relations as having lateral  
references leads to confusion in add_paths_to_append_rel about whether  
unparameterized paths can be built.  It's not very clear whether that  
leads to any user-visible misbehavior; the lack of field reports suggests  
that it may cause nothing worse than minor cost misestimation.  Still,  
it's a bug, and it leads to failures of Asserts that I intend to add  
later.  
  
To fix, we need to propagate information from all appendrel parents,  
not just those that are RELOPT_BASERELs.  We can still do it in one  
pass, if we rely on the append_rel_list to be ordered with ancestor  
relationships before descendant ones; add assertions checking that.  
While fixing this, we can make a small performance improvement by  
traversing the append_rel_list just once instead of separately for  
each appendrel parent relation.  
  
Noted while investigating bug #15613, though this patch does not fix  
that (which is why I'm not committing the related Asserts yet).

Contrary to the comment on 772d4b76, only paths starting with "./" or  
"../" are considered relative to the current working directory by perl's

paths. This only affects MSVC.

Historically we've had each release branch include all prior branches'  
notes, including minor-release changes, back to the beginning of the  
project.  That's basically an O(N^2) proposition, and it was starting to  
catch up with us: as of HEAD the back-branch release notes alone accounted  
for nearly 30% of the documentation.  While there's certainly some value  
in easy access to back-branch notes, this is getting out of hand.  
  
Hence, switch over to the rule that each branch contains only its own  
release notes.  So as to not make older notes too hard to find, each  
branch will provide URLs for the immediately preceding branches'  
release notes on the project website.  
  
There might be value in providing aggregated notes across all branches  
somewhere on the website, but that's a task for another day.

Fix dumping of matviews with indirect dependencies on primary keys.

Commit 62215de29 turns out to have been not quite on-the-mark.  
When we are forced to postpone dumping of a materialized view into  
the dump's post-data section (because it depends on a unique index  
that isn't created till that section), we may also have to postpone  
dumping other matviews that depend on said matview.  The previous fix  
didn't reliably work for such cases: it'd break the dependency loops  
properly, producing a workable object ordering, but it didn't  
necessarily mark all the matviews as "postponed_def".  This led to  
harmless bleating about "archive items not in correct section order",  
as reported by Tom Cassidy in bug #15602.  Less harmlessly,  
selective-restore options such as --section might misbehave due to  
the matview dump objects not being properly labeled.  
  
The right way to fix it is to consider that each pre-data dependency  
we break amounts to moving the no-longer-dependent object into  
post-data, and hence we should mark that object if it's a matview.  
  
Back-patch to all supported versions, since the issue's been there  
since matviews were introduced.

Rather than define ld_library_path_ver with a big nested $(if), just  
put the overriding values in the makefiles for the relevant ports.  
  
Also add a variable for port makefiles to append their own stuff to  
with_temp_install, and use it to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH_RPATH=1 on  
FreeBSD which is needed to make LD_LIBRARY_PATH override DT_RPATH  
if DT_RUNPATH is not set (which seems to depend in unpredictable ways  
on the choice of compiler, at least on my system).  
  
Backpatch for the benefit of anyone doing regression tests on FreeBSD.  
(For other platforms there should be no functional change.)

To avoid deadlock, backend acquires a lock on heap pages in block  
number order.  In certain cases, lock on heap pages is dropped and  
reacquired.  In this case, the locks are dropped for reading in  
corresponding VM page/s. The issue is we re-acquire locks in bufferId  
order whereas the intention was to acquire in blockid order.  
  
This commit ensures that we will always acquire locks on heap pages in  
blockid order.

When logging the replica identity of a deleted tuple, XLOG_HEAP_DELETE  
records include references of the old tuple.  Its data is stored in an  
intermediate variable used to register this information for the WAL  
record, but this variable gets away from the stack when the record gets  
actually inserted.

Fix a crash in logical replication

The bug was that determining which columns are part of the replica  
identity index using RelationGetIndexAttrBitmap() would run  
eval_const_expressions() on index expressions and predicates across  
all indexes of the table, which in turn might require a snapshot, but  
there wasn't one set, so it crashes.  There were actually two separate  
bugs, one on the publisher and one on the subscriber.  
  
To trigger the bug, a table that is part of a publication or  
subscription needs to have an index with a predicate or expression  
that lends itself to constant expressions simplification.  
  
The fix is to avoid the constant expressions simplification in  
RelationGetIndexAttrBitmap(), so that it becomes safe to call in these  
contexts.  The constant expressions simplification comes from the  
calls to RelationGetIndexExpressions()/RelationGetIndexPredicate() via  
BuildIndexInfo().  But RelationGetIndexAttrBitmap() calling  
BuildIndexInfo() is overkill.  The latter just takes pg_index catalog  
information, packs it into the IndexInfo structure, which former then  
just unpacks again and throws away.  We can just do this directly with  
less overhead and skip the troublesome calls to  
eval_const_expressions().  This also removes the awkward  
cross-dependency between relcache.c and index.c.

Previously, \g would successfully execute the COPY command, but  
the target specification if any was ignored, so that the data was  
always dumped to the regular query output target.  This seems like  
a clear bug, so let's not just fix it but back-patch it.  
  
While at it, adjust the documentation for \copy to recommend  
"COPY ... TO STDOUT \g foo" as a plausible alternative.  
  
Back-patch to 9.5.  The problem exists much further back, but the  
code associated with \g was refactored enough in 9.5 that we'd  
need a significantly different patch for 9.4, and it doesn't  
seem worth the trouble.

Since LISTEN is (still) disallowed, UNLISTEN must be a no-op in a  
hot-standby session, and so there's no harm in allowing it.  This  
change allows client code to not worry about whether it's connected  
to a primary or standby server when performing session-state-reset  
type activities.  (Note that DISCARD ALL, which includes UNLISTEN,  
was already allowed, making it inconsistent to reject UNLISTEN.)

Remove infinite-loop hazards in ecpg test suite.

A report from Andrew Dunstan showed that an ecpglib breakage that  
causes repeated query failures could lead to infinite loops in some  
ecpg test scripts, because they contain "while(1)" loops with no  
exit condition other than successful test completion.  That might  
be all right for manual testing, but it seems entirely unacceptable  
for automated test environments such as our buildfarm.  We don't  
want buildfarm owners to have to intervene manually when a test  
goes wrong.  
  
To fix, just change all those while(1) loops to exit after at most  
100 iterations (which is more than any of them expect to iterate).  
This seems sufficient since we'd see discrepancies in the test output  
if any loop executed the wrong number of times.  
  
I tested this by dint of intentionally breaking ecpg_do_prologue  
to always fail, and verifying that the tests still got to completion.  
  
Back-patch to all supported branches, since the whole point of this  
exercise is to protect the buildfarm against future mistakes.

Apparently, some builds of MinGW contain a version of  
_configthreadlocale() that always returns -1, indicating failure.  
Rather than treating that as a curl-up-and-die condition, soldier on  
as though the function didn't exist.  This leaves us without thread  
safety on such MinGW versions, but we didn't have it anyway.

ecpglib attempts to force the LC_NUMERIC locale to "C" while reading  
server output, to avoid problems with strtod() and related functions.  
Historically it's just issued setlocale() calls to do that, but that  
has major problems if we're in a threaded application.  setlocale()  
itself is not required by POSIX to be thread-safe (and indeed is not,  
on recent OpenBSD).  Moreover, its effects are process-wide, so that  
we could cause unexpected results in other threads, or another thread  
could change our setting.  
  
On platforms having uselocale(), which is required by POSIX:2008,  
we can avoid these problems by using uselocale() instead.  Windows  
goes its own way as usual, but we can make it safe by using  
_configthreadlocale().  Platforms having neither continue to use the  
old code, but that should be pretty much nobody among current systems.  
  
(Subsequent buildfarm results show that recent NetBSD versions still  
lack uselocale(), but it's not a big problem because they also do not  
support non-"C" settings for LC_NUMERIC.)

Recent OpenBSD (at least 5.9 and up) has a version of getopt(3)  
that will not cope with the "-:" spec we use to accept double-dash  
options in postgres.c and postmaster.c.  Admittedly, that's a hack  
because POSIX only requires getopt() to allow alphanumeric option  
characters.  I have no desire to find another way, however, so

Attempting to use a temporary table within a two-phase transaction is  
forbidden for ages.  However, there have been uncovered grounds for  
a couple of other object types and commands which work on temporary  
objects with two-phase commit.  In short, trying to create, lock or drop  
an object on a temporary schema should not be authorized within a  
two-phase transaction, as it would cause its state to create  
dependencies with other sessions, causing all sorts of side effects with  
the existing session or other sessions spawned later on trying to use  
the same temporary schema name.  
  
Regression tests are added to cover all the grounds found, the original  
report mentioned function creation, but monitoring closer there are many  
other patterns with LOCK, DROP or CREATE EXTENSION which are involved.  
One of the symptoms resulting in combining both is that the session  
which used the temporary schema is not able to shut down completely,  
waiting for being able to drop the temporary schema, something that it  
cannot complete because of the two-phase transaction involved with  
temporary objects.  In this case the client is able to disconnect but  
the session remains alive on the backend-side, potentially blocking  
connection backend slots from being used.  Other problems reported could  
also involve server crashes.  
  
This is back-patched down to v10, which is where 9b013dc has introduced  
MyXactFlags, something that this patch relies on.

Previously, parseCheckAggregates was run before  
assign_query_collations, but this causes problems if any expression  
has already had a collation assigned by some transform function (e.g.  
transformCaseExpr) before parseCheckAggregates runs. The differing  
collations would cause expressions not to be recognized as equal to  
the ones in the GROUP BY clause, leading to spurious errors about  
unaggregated column references.  
  
The result was that CASE expr WHEN val ... would fail when "expr"  
contained a GROUPING() expression or matched one of the group by  
expressions, and where collatable types were involved; whereas the  
supposedly identical CASE WHEN expr = val ... would succeed.  
  
Backpatch all the way; this appears to have been wrong ever since  
collations were introduced.  
  
Per report from Guillaume Lelarge, analysis and patch by me.

Fix up confusion over how to use EXTRA_INSTALL.

Some makefiles were trying to do this:  
  
temp-install: EXTRA_INSTALL=contrib/test_decoding  
  
but that no longer works as of commit aa019da52: the macro is now  
consulted by the checkprep target, one level down, and apparently  
gmake doesn't propagate such macro settings recursively.  
  
The problem is masked since 42e61c774 because pgxs.mk also sets up  
EXTRA_INSTALL, and correctly applies it to the checkprep target.  
  
Unfortunately I'd not risked back-patching that to before v11.  
Since aa019da52 was pushed back to v10, it broke test_decoding  
there (the only module for which this actually makes a difference  
at present).  
  
Hence, back-patch 42e61c774 to v10.  Also, remove some demonstrably  
useless settings of EXTRA_INSTALL in v10 and v11 (they'd already  
been cleaned up in HEAD).

Avoid sharing PARAM_EXEC slots between different levels of NestLoop.

Up to now, createplan.c attempted to share PARAM_EXEC slots for  
NestLoopParams across different plan levels, if the same underlying Var  
was being fed down to different righthand-side subplan trees by different  
NestLoops.  This was, I think, more of an artifact of using subselect.c's  
PlannerParamItem infrastructure than an explicit design goal, but anyway  
that was the end result.  
  
This works well enough as long as the plan tree is executing synchronously,  
but the feature whereby Gather can execute the parallelized subplan locally  
breaks it.  An upper NestLoop node might execute for a row retrieved from  
a parallel worker, and assign a value for a PARAM_EXEC slot from that row,  
while the leader's copy of the parallelized subplan is suspended with a  
different active value of the row the Var comes from.  When control  
eventually returns to the leader's subplan, it gets the wrong answers if  
the same PARAM_EXEC slot is being used within the subplan, as reported  
in bug #15577 from Bartosz Polnik.  
  
This is pretty reminiscent of the problem fixed in commit 46c508fbc, and  
the proper fix seems to be the same: don't try to share PARAM_EXEC slots  
across different levels of controlling NestLoop nodes.  
  
This requires decoupling NestLoopParam handling from PlannerParamItem  
handling, although the logic remains somewhat similar.  To avoid bizarre  
division of labor between subselect.c and createplan.c, I decided to move  
all the param-slot-assignment logic for both cases out of those files  
and put it into a new file paramassign.c.  Hopefully it's a bit better  
documented now, too.  
  
A regression test case for this might be nice, but we don't know a  
test case that triggers the problem with a suitably small amount  
of data.  
  
Back-patch to 9.6 where we added Gather nodes.  It's conceivable that  
related problems exist in older branches; but without some evidence  
for that, I'll leave the older branches alone.

Since approximately PostgreSQL 10, it is no longer required that  
environment variables at installation time such as PERL, PYTHON, TCLSH  
be "full path names", so change that phrasing in the installation  
instructions.  (The exact time of change appears to differ for PERL  
and the others, but it works consistently in PostgreSQL 10.)  
  
Also while we're here document the defaults for PERL and PYTHON, but  
since the search list for TCLSH is so long, let's leave that out so we  
don't need to maintain a copy of that list in the installation  
instructions.

of that aren't really clear, so I'll refrain.)

Improve ANALYZE's handling of concurrent-update scenarios.

This patch changes the rule for whether or not a tuple seen by ANALYZE  
should be included in its sample.  
  
When we last touched this logic, in commit 51e1445f1, we weren't  
thinking very hard about tuples being UPDATEd by a long-running  
concurrent transaction.  In such a case, we might see the pre-image as  
either LIVE or DELETE_IN_PROGRESS depending on timing; and we might see  
the post-image not at all, or as INSERT_IN_PROGRESS.  Since the existing  
code will not sample either DELETE_IN_PROGRESS or INSERT_IN_PROGRESS  
tuples, this leads to concurrently-updated rows being omitted from the  
sample entirely.  That's not very helpful, and it's especially the wrong  
thing if the concurrent transaction ends up rolling back.  
  
The right thing seems to be to sample DELETE_IN_PROGRESS rows just as if  
they were live.  This makes the "sample it" and "count it" decisions the  
same, which seems good for consistency.  It's clearly the right thing  
if the concurrent transaction ends up rolling back; in effect, we are  
sampling as though IN_PROGRESS transactions haven't happened yet.  
Also, this combination of choices ensures maximum robustness against  
the different combinations of whether and in which state we might see the  
pre- and post-images of an update.  
  
It's slightly annoying that we end up recording immediately-out-of-date  
stats in the case where the transaction does commit, but on the other  
hand the stats are fine for columns that didn't change in the update.  
And the alternative of sampling INSERT_IN_PROGRESS rows instead seems  
like a bad idea, because then the sampling would be inconsistent with  
the way rows are counted for the stats report.  
  
Per report from Mark Chambers; thanks to Jeff Janes for diagnosing  
what was happening.  Back-patch to all supported versions.

MinMaxExpr invokes the btree comparison function for its input datatype,  
so it's only leakproof if that function is.  Many such functions are  
indeed leakproof, but others are not, and we should not just assume that  
they are.  Hence, adjust contain_leaked_vars to verify the leakproofness  
of the referenced function explicitly.  
  
I didn't add a regression test because it would need to depend on  
some particular comparison function being leaky, and that's a moving  
target, per discussion.  
  
This has been wrong all along, so back-patch to supported branches.

fe0a0b5, which has added a stronger random source in Postgres, has  
introduced a thinko when creating a padding message which gets encrypted  
for Elgamal.  The padding message cannot have zeros, which are replaced  
by random bytes.  However if pg_strong_random() failed, the message  
would finish by being considered in correct shape for encryption with  
zeros.

Detect it the way pg_ctl's wait_for_postmaster() does.  When pg_regress  
spawned a postmaster that failed startup, we were detecting that only  
with "pg_regress: postmaster did not respond within 60 seconds".

POSIX specifies that jrand48() returns a signed 32-bit value (in the  
range [-2^31, 2^31)), but our code was returning an unsigned 32-bit  
value (in the range [0, 2^32)).  This doesn't actually matter to any  
existing call site, because they all cast the "long" result to int32  
or uint32; but it will doubtless bite somebody in the future.  
To fix, cast the arithmetic result to int32 explicitly before the  
compiler widens it to long (if widening is needed).  
  
While at it, upgrade this file's far-short-of-project-style comments.  
Had there been some peer pressure to document pg_jrand48() properly,  
maybe this thinko wouldn't have gotten committed to begin with.  
  
Backpatch to v10 where pg_jrand48() was added, just in case somebody  
back-patches a fix that uses it and depends on the standard behavior.

Have DISCARD ALL/TEMP remove leftover temp tables

Previously, it would only remove temp tables created in the same  
session; but if the session uses the BackendId of a previously crashed  
backend that left temp tables around, those would not get removed.  
Since autovacuum would not drop them either (because it sees that the  
BackendId is in use by the current session) these can cause annoying  
xid-wraparound warnings.  
  
Apply to branches 9.4 to 10.  This is not a problem since version 11,  
because commit 943576bddcb5 added state tracking that makes autovacuum  
realize that those temp tables are not ours, so it removes them.  
  
This is useful to handle in DISCARD, because even though it does not  
handle all situations, it does handle the common one where a connection  
pooler keeps the same session open for an indefinitely long time.

When temp tables are in danger of XID wraparound, autovacuum drops them;  
however, it preserves those that are owned by a working session.  This  
is desirable, except when the session is connected to a different  
database (because the temp tables cannot be from that session), so make  
it only keep the temp tables only if the backend is in the same database  
as the temp tables.  
  
This is not bulletproof: it fails to detect temp tables left by a  
session whose backend ID is reused in the same database but the new  
session does not use temp tables.  Commit 943576bddcb5 fixes that case  
too, for branches 11 and up (which is why we don't apply this fix to  
those branches), but back-patching that one is not universally agreed  
on.

Inheritance trees can include temporary tables if the parent is  
permanent, which makes possible the presence of multiple temporary  
children from different sessions.  Trying to issue a TRUNCATE on the  
parent in this scenario causes a failure, so similarly to any other  
queries just ignore such cases, which makes TRUNCATE work  
transparently.  
  
This makes truncation behave similarly to any other DML query working on  
the parent table with queries which need to be issues on children.  A  
set of isolation tests is added to cover basic cases.

Prioritize history files when archiving

At the end of recovery for the post-promotion process, a new history  
file is created followed by the last partial segment of the previous  
timeline.  Based on the timing, the archiver would first try to archive  
the last partial segment and then the history file.  This can delay the  
detection of a new timeline taken, particularly depending on the time it  
takes to transfer the last partial segment as it delays the moment the  
history file of the new timeline gets archived.  This can cause promoted  
standbys to use the same timeline as one already taken depending on the  
circumstances if multiple instances look at archives at the same  
location.  
  
This commit changes the order of archiving so as history files are  
archived in priority over other file types, which reduces the likelihood  
of the same timeline being taken (still not reducing the window to  
zero), and it makes the archiver behave more consistently with the  
startup process doing its post-promotion business.

COPY can skip writing WAL when loading data on a table which has been  
created in the same transaction as the one loading the data, however  
this cannot work on views as this would result in trying to flush  
relation files which do not exist.  So disable the optimization so as  
commands are able to work the same way with any configuration of  
wal_level.  
  
A test is added to cover this case, which needs to have wal_level set to  
minimal to allow the problem to show up, and that is not the default  
configuration.

013ebc0a7b implements so-called GiST microvacuum.  That is gistgettuple() marks  
index tuples as dead when kill_prior_tuple is set.  Later, when new tuple  
insertion claims page space, those dead index tuples are physically deleted  
from page.  When this deletion is replayed on standby, it might conflict with  
read-only queries.  But 013ebc0a7b doesn't handle this.  That may lead to  
disappearance of some tuples from read-only snapshots on standby.  
  
This commit implements resolving of conflicts between replay of GiST microvacuum  
and standby queries.  On the master we implement new WAL record type  
XLOG_GIST_DELETE, which comprises necessary information.  On stable releases  
we've to be tricky to keep WAL compatibility.  Information required for conflict  
processing is just appended to data of XLOG_GIST_PAGE_UPDATE record.  So,  
PostgreSQL version, which doesn't know about conflict processing, will just  
ignore that.

For probably bogus reasons, we acquire only AccessShareLock on the  
partition when we try to detach it from its parent partitioned table.  
This can cause ugly things to happen if another transaction is doing

"rescanratio" was computed as 1 + rescanned-tuples / total-inner-tuples,  
which is sensible if it's to be multiplied by total-inner-tuples or a cost  
value corresponding to scanning all the inner tuples.  But in reality it  
was (mostly) multiplied by inner_rows or a related cost, numbers that take  
into account the possibility of stopping short of scanning the whole inner  
relation thanks to a limited key range in the outer relation.  This'd  
still make sense if we could expect that stopping short would result in a  
proportional decrease in the number of tuples that have to be rescanned.  
It does not, however.  The argument that establishes the validity of our  
estimate for that number is independent of whether we scan all of the inner  
relation or stop short, and experimentation also shows that stopping short  
doesn't reduce the number of rescanned tuples.  So the correct calculation  
is 1 + rescanned-tuples / inner_rows, and we should be sure to multiply  
that by inner_rows or a corresponding cost value.  
  
Most of the time this doesn't make much difference, but if we have  
both a high rescan rate (due to lots of duplicate values) and an outer  
key range much smaller than the inner key range, then the error can  
be significant, leading to a large underestimate of the cost associated  
with rescanning.  
  
Per report from Vijaykumar Jain.  This thinko appears to go all the way  
back to the introduction of the rescan estimation logic in commit  
70fba7043, so back-patch to all supported branches.

When a constraint gets renamed, it may have associated with it a target  
relation (for example domain constraints don't have one).  Not  
invalidating the target relation cache when issuing the renaming can  
result in issues with subsequent commands that refer to the old  
constraint name using the relation cache, causing various failures.  One  
pattern spotted was using CREATE TABLE LIKE after a constraint  
renaming.

Commit ffa4cbd62 added logic to detect SIGPIPE failure of a COPY child  
process, but it only worked correctly if the SIGPIPE occurred in the  
immediate child process.  Depending on the shell in use and the  
complexity of the shell command string, we might instead get back  
an exit code of 128 + SIGPIPE, representing a shell error exit  
reporting SIGPIPE in the child process.  
  
We could just hack up ClosePipeToProgram() to add the extra case,  
but it seems like this is a fairly general issue deserving a more  
general and better-documented solution.  I chose to add a couple  
of functions in src/common/wait_error.c, which is a natural place  
to know about wait-result encodings, that will test for either a  
specific child-process signal type or any child-process signal failure.  
Then, adjust other places that were doing ad-hoc tests of this type  
to use the common functions.  
  
In RestoreArchivedFile, this fixes a race condition affecting whether  
the process will report an error or just silently proc_exit(1): before,  
that depended on whether the intermediate shell got SIGTERM'd itself  
or reported a child process failing on SIGTERM.  
  
Like the previous patch, back-patch to v10; we could go further  
but there seems no real need to.

The idea here is to not call recordDependencyOn for the default collation,  
since we know that's pinned.  But what the code actually did was to record  
the partition key's dependency on the opclass twice, instead.

When GIN vacuum deletes a posting tree page, it assumes that no concurrent  
searchers can access it, thanks to ginStepRight() locking two pages at once.  
However, since 9.4 searches can skip parts of posting trees descending from the  
root.  That leads to the risk that page is deleted and reclaimed before  
concurrent search can access it.  
  
This commit prevents the risk of above by waiting for every transaction, which  
might wait to reference this page, to finish.  Due to binary compatibility  
we can't change GinPageOpaqueData to store corresponding transaction id.  
Instead we reuse page header pd_prune_xid field, which is unused in index pages.

On standby ginRedoDeletePage() can work concurrently with read-only queries.  
Those queries can traverse posting tree in two ways.  
1) Using rightlinks by ginStepRight(), which locks the next page before  
   unlocking its left sibling.  
2) Using downlinks by ginFindLeafPage(), which locks at most one page at time.  
  
Original lock order was: page, parent, left sibling.  That lock order can  
deadlock with ginStepRight().  In order to prevent deadlock this commit changes  
lock order to: left sibling, page, parent.  Note, that position of parent in  
locking order seems insignificant, because we only lock one page at time while  
traversing downlinks.

Fix deadlock in GIN vacuum introduced by 218f51584d5

Before 218f51584d5 if posting tree page is about to be deleted, then the whole  
posting tree is locked by LockBufferForCleanup() on root preventing all the  
concurrent inserts.  218f51584d5 reduced locking to the subtree containing  
page to be deleted.  However, due to concurrent parent split, inserter doesn't  
always holds pins on all the pages constituting path from root to the target  
leaf page.  That could cause a deadlock between GIN vacuum process and GIN  
inserter.  And we didn't find non-invasive way to fix this.  
  
This commit reverts VACUUM behavior to lock the whole posting tree before  
delete any page.  However, we keep another useful change by 218f51584d5: the  
tree is locked only if there are pages to be deleted.

postgres_fdw's postgresGetForeignPlan() assumes without checking that the  
outer_plan it's given for a join relation must have a NestLoop, MergeJoin,  
or HashJoin node at the top.  That's been wrong at least since commit  
4bbf6edfb (which could cause insertion of a Sort node on top) and it seems  
like a pretty unsafe thing to Just Assume even without that.  
  
Through blind good fortune, this doesn't seem to have any worse  
consequences today than strange EXPLAIN output, but it's clearly trouble  
waiting to happen.  
  
To fix, test the node type explicitly before touching Join-specific  
fields, and avoid jamming the new tlist into a node type that can't  
do projection.  Export a new support function from createplan.c  
to avoid building low-level knowledge about the latter into FDWs.  
  
Back-patch to 9.6 where the faulty coding was added.  Note that the  
associated regression test cases don't show any changes before v11,  
apparently because the tests back-patched with 4bbf6edfb don't actually  
exercise the problem case before then (there's no top-level Sort  
in those plans).

Our support for multiple-set-clauses in UPDATE assumes that the Params  
referencing a MULTIEXPR_SUBLINK SubPlan will appear before that SubPlan  
in the targetlist of the plan node that calculates the updated row.  
(Yeah, it's a hack...)  In some PG branches it's possible that a Result  
node gets inserted between the primary calculation of the update tlist  
and the ModifyTable node.  setrefs.c did the wrong thing in this case  
and left the upper-level Params as Params, causing a crash at runtime.  
What it should do is replace them with "outer" Vars referencing the child  
plan node's output.  That's a result of careless ordering of operations  
in fix_upper_expr_mutator, so we can fix it just by reordering the code.  
  
Fix fix_join_expr_mutator similarly for consistency, even though join  
nodes could never appear in such a context.  (In general, it seems  
likely to be a bit cheaper to use Vars than Params in such situations  
anyway, so this patch might offer a tiny performance improvement.)  
  
The hazard extends back to 9.5 where the MULTIEXPR_SUBLINK stuff  
was introduced, so back-patch that far.  However, this may be a live  
bug only in 9.6.x and 10.x, as the other branches don't seem to want  
to calculate the final tlist below the Result node.  (That plan shape  
change between branches might be a mini-bug in itself, but I'm not  
really interested in digging into the reasons for that right now.  
Still, add a regression test memorializing what we expect there,  
so we'll notice if it changes again.)

The stanza of ExecuteTruncate[Guts] that truncates a target table's toast  
relation re-used the loop local variable "rel" to reference the toast rel.  
This was safe enough when written, but commit d42358efb added code below  
that that supposed "rel" still pointed to the parent table.  Therefore,  
the stats counter update was applied to the wrong relcache entry (the  
toast rel not the user rel); and if we were unlucky and that relcache  
entry had been flushed during reindex_relation, very bad things could  
ensue.  
  
(I'm surprised that CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS testing hasn't found this.  
I'm even more surprised that the problem wasn't detected during the  
development of d42358efb; it must not have been tested in any case  
with a toast table, as the incorrect stats counts are very obvious.)  
  
To fix, replace use of "rel" in that code branch with a more local  
variable.  Adjust test cases added by d42358efb so that some of them  
use tables with toast tables.

Places that are testing for *printf failure ought to include the format  
string in their error reports, since bad-format-string is one of the  
more likely causes of such failure.  This both makes it easier to find  
and repair the mistake, and provides at least some useful info to the  
user who stumbles across such a problem.  
  
Also, tighten snprintf.c to report EINVAL for an invalid flag or  
final character in a format %-spec (including the case where the  
%-spec is missing a final character altogether).  This seems like  
better project policy, and it also allows removing an instruction  
or two from the hot code path.

Ensure static libraries have correct mod time even if ranlib messes it up.

In at least Apple's version of ranlib, the output file is updated to have  
a mod time equal to the max of the timestamps of its components, and that  
data only has seconds precision.  On a filesystem with sub-second file  
timestamp precision --- say, APFS --- this can result in the finished  
static library appearing older than its input files, which causes useless  
rebuilds and possible outright failures in parallel makes.  
  
We've only seen this reported in the field from people using Apple's  
ranlib with a non-Apple make, because Apple's make doesn't know about  
sub-second timestamps either so it doesn't decide rebuilds are needed.  
But Apple's ranlib presumably shares code with at least some BSDen,  
so it's not that unlikely that the same problem could arise elsewhere.  
  
To fix, just "touch" the output file after ranlib finishes.  
  
We seem to need this in only one place.  There are other calls of  
ranlib in our makefiles, but they are working on intermediate files  
whose timestamps are not actually important, or else on an installed  
static library for which sub-second timestamp precision is unlikely  
to matter either.  (Also, so far as I can tell, Apple's ranlib doesn't  
mess up the file timestamp in the latter usage anyhow.)  
  
In passing, change "ranlib" to "$(RANLIB)" in one place that was

This fixes an oversight from c6c3334 which forgot that if a subset of  
WAL senders are stopping and in a sync state, other WAL senders could  
still be waiting for a WAL position to be synced while committing a  
transaction.  However the subset of stopping senders would not release  
waiters, potentially breaking synchronous replication guarantees.  This  
commit makes sure that even WAL senders stopping are able to release  
waiters and are tracked properly.  
  
On 9.4, this can also trigger an assertion failure when setting for  
example max_wal_senders to 1 where a WAL sender is not able to find  
itself as in synchronous state when the instance stops.

Since commit 2f1d2b7a we have set PAM_RHOST to "[local]" for Unix  
sockets.  This caused Linux PAM's libaudit integration to make DNS  
requests for that name.  It's not exactly clear what value PAM_RHOST  
should have in that case, but it seems clear that we shouldn't set it  
to an unresolvable name, so don't do that.

Do not decode TOAST data for table rewrites

During table rewrites (VACUUM FULL and CLUSTER), the main heap is logged  
using XLOG / FPI records, and thus (correctly) ignored in decoding.  
But the associated TOAST table is WAL-logged as plain INSERT records,  
and so was logically decoded and passed to reorder buffer.  
  
That has severe consequences with TOAST tables of non-trivial size.  
Firstly, reorder buffer has to keep all those changes, possibly spilling  
them to a file, incurring I/O costs and disk space.  
  
Secondly, ReoderBufferCommit() was stashing all those TOAST chunks into  
a hash table, which got discarded only after processing the row from the  
main heap.  But as the main heap is not decoded for rewrites, this never  
happened, so all the TOAST data accumulated in memory, resulting either  
in excessive memory consumption or OOM.  
  
The fix is simple, as commit e9edc1ba already introduced infrastructure  
(namely HEAP_INSERT_NO_LOGICAL flag) to skip logical decoding of TOAST  
tables, but it only applied it to system tables.  So simply use it for  
all TOAST data in raw_heap_insert().  
  
That would however solve only the memory consumption issue - the TOAST  
changes would still be decoded and added to the reorder buffer, and  
spilled to disk (although without TOAST tuple data, so much smaller).  
But we can solve that by tweaking DecodeInsert() to just ignore such  
INSERT records altogether, using XLH_INSERT_CONTAINS_NEW_TUPLE flag,  
instead of skipping them later in ReorderBufferCommit().

When the regrole (0c90f6769) and regnamespace (cb9fa802b) types were  
added in 9.5, pg_upgrade's check for reg* types wasn't updated. While  
regrole currently is safe, regnamespace is not.  
  
It seems unlikely that anybody uses regnamespace inside catalog tables  
across a pg_upgrade, but the tests should be correct nevertheless.

alphabetical. Otherwise it's annoying to compare existing and tested

latex_escaped_print() mistranslated \ and failed to provide any translation  
for # ^ and ~, all of which would typically lead to LaTeX document syntax  
errors.  In addition it didn't translate < > and |, which would typically  
render as unexpected characters.  
  
To some extent this represents shortcomings in ancient versions of LaTeX,  
which if memory serves had no easy way to render these control characters  
as ASCII text.  But that's been fixed for, um, decades.  In any case there  
is no value in emitting guaranteed-to-fail output for these characters.

Fix hstore hash function for empty hstores upgraded from 8.4.

Hstore data generated on pg 8.4 and pg_upgraded to current versions  
remains in its original on-disk format unless modified. The same goes  
for values generated by the addon hstore-new module on pre-9.0  
versions. (The hstoreUpgrade function converts old values on the fly  
when read in, but the on-disk value is not modified by this.)  
  
Since old-format empty hstores (and hstore-new hstores) have  
representations compatible with the new format, hstoreUpgrade thought  
it could get away without modifying such values; but this breaks  
hstore_hash (and the new hstore_hash_extended) which assumes  
bit-perfect matching between semantically identical hstore values.  
Only one bit actually differs (the "new version" flag in the count  
field) but that of course is enough to break the hash.  
  
Fix by making hstoreUpgrade unconditionally convert all old values to  
new format.  
  
Backpatch all the way, even though this changes a hash value in some  
cases, because in those cases the hash value is already failing - for  
example, a hash join between old- and new-format empty hstores will be  
failing to match, or a hash index on an hstore column containing an  
old-format empty value will be failing to find the value since it will  
be searching for a hash derived from a new-format datum. (There are no  
known field reports of this happening, probably because hashing of  
hstores has only been useful in limited circumstances and there  
probably isn't much upgraded data being used this way.)  
  
Per concerns arising from discussion of commit eb6f29141be. Original  
bug is my fault.

ftoi4 and its sibling coercion functions did their overflow checks in  
a way that looked superficially plausible, but actually depended on an  
assumption that the MIN and MAX comparison constants can be represented  
exactly in the float4 or float8 domain.  That fails in ftoi4, ftoi8,  
and dtoi8, resulting in a possibility that values near the MAX limit will  
be wrongly converted (to negative values) when they need to be rejected.  
  
Also, because we compared before rounding off the fractional part,  
the other three functions threw errors for values that really ought  
to get rounded to the min or max integer value.  
  
Fix by doing rint() first (requiring an assumption that it handles  
NaN and Inf correctly; but dtoi8 and ftoi8 were assuming that already),  
and by comparing to values that should coerce to float exactly, namely  
INTxx_MIN and -INTxx_MIN.  Also remove some random cosmetic discrepancies  
between these six functions.  
  
This back-patches commits cbdb8b4c0 and 452b637d4.  In the 9.4 branch,  
also back-patch the portion of 62e2a8dc2 that added PG_INTnn_MIN and

1. Integer overflow in internal_size could result in memory corruption  
in decompression since a zero-length array would be allocated and then  
written to. This leads to crashes or corruption when traversing an  
index which has been populated with sufficiently sparse values. Fix by  
using int64 for computations and checking for overflow.  
  
2. Integer overflow in g_int_compress could cause pessimal merge  
choices, resulting in unnecessarily large ranges (which would in turn  
trigger issue 1 above). Fix by using int64 again.  
  
3. Even without overflow, array sizes could become large enough to  
cause unexplained memory allocation errors. Fix by capping the sizes  
to a safe limit and report actual errors pointing at gist__intbig_ops  
as needed.  
  
4. Large inputs to the compression function always consist of large  
runs of consecutive integers, and the compression loop was processing  
these one at a time in an O(N^2) manner with a lot of overhead. The  
expected runtime of this function could easily exceed 6 months for a  
single call as a result. Fix by performing a linear-time first pass,  
which reduces the worst case to something on the order of seconds.

Previously, any program launched by COPY TO/FROM PROGRAM inherited the  
server's setting of SIGPIPE handling, i.e. SIG_IGN.  Hence, if we were  
doing COPY FROM PROGRAM and closed the pipe early, the child process  
would see EPIPE on its output file and typically would treat that as  
a fatal error, in turn causing the COPY to report error.  Similarly,  
one could get a failure report from a query that didn't read all of  
the output from a contrib/file_fdw foreign table that uses file_fdw's  
PROGRAM option.  
  
To fix, ensure that child programs inherit SIG_DFL not SIG_IGN processing  
of SIGPIPE.  This seems like an all-around better situation since if  
the called program wants some non-default treatment of SIGPIPE, it would  
expect to have to set that up for itself.  Then in COPY, if it's COPY  
FROM PROGRAM and we stop reading short of detecting EOF, treat a SIGPIPE  
exit from the called program as a non-error condition.  This still allows  
us to report an error for any case where the called program gets SIGPIPE  
on some other file descriptor.  
  
As coded, we won't report a SIGPIPE if we stop reading as a result of  
seeing an in-band EOF marker (e.g. COPY BINARY EOF marker).  It's  
somewhat debatable whether we should complain if the called program  
continues to transmit data after an EOF marker.  However, it seems like  
we should avoid throwing error in any questionable cases, especially in a  
back-patched fix, and anyway it would take additional code to make such  
an error get reported consistently.  
  
Back-patch to v10.  We could go further back, since COPY FROM PROGRAM  
has been around awhile, but AFAICS the only way to reach this situation  
using core or contrib is via file_fdw, which has only supported PROGRAM  
sources since v10.  The COPY statement per se has no feature whereby  
it'd stop reading without having hit EOF or an error already.  Therefore,  
I don't see any upside to back-patching further that'd outweigh the  
risk of complaints about behavioral change.

The test case that Autoconf uses to discover whether a function has  
been declared doesn't work reliably with clang, because clang reports  
a warning not an error if the name is a known built-in function.  
On some platforms, this results in a lot of compile-time warnings about  
strlcpy and related functions not having been declared.  
  
There is a fix for this (by Noah Misch) in the upstream Autoconf sources,  
but since they've not made a release in years and show no indication of  
doing so anytime soon, let's just absorb their fix directly.  We can  
revert this when and if we update to a newer Autoconf release.

This didn't actually work: COPY would fail to flush the right files, and  
instead would try to flush a non-existing file, causing the whole  
transaction to fail.  
  
Cope by raising an error as soon as the command is sent instead, to  
avoid a nasty later surprise.  Of course, it would be much better to  
make it work, but we don't have a patch for that yet, and we don't know  
if we'll want to backpatch one when we do.

PANIC on fsync() failure.

On some operating systems, it doesn't make sense to retry fsync(),  
because dirty data cached by the kernel may have been dropped on  
write-back failure.  In that case the only remaining copy of the  
data is in the WAL.  A subsequent fsync() could appear to succeed,  
but not have flushed the data.  That means that a future checkpoint  
could apparently complete successfully but have lost data.  
  
Therefore, violently prevent any future checkpoint attempts by  
panicking on the first fsync() failure.  Note that we already  
did the same for WAL data; this change extends that behavior to  
non-temporary data files.  
  
Provide a GUC data_sync_retry to control this new behavior, for  
users of operating systems that don't eject dirty data, and possibly  
forensic/testing uses.  If it is set to on and the write-back error  
was transient, a later checkpoint might genuinely succeed (on a  
system that does not throw away buffers on failure); if the error is  
permanent, later checkpoints will continue to fail.  The GUC defaults  
to off, meaning that we panic.  
  
Back-patch to all supported releases.  
  
There is still a narrow window for error-loss on some operating  
systems: if the file is closed and later reopened and a write-back  
error occurs in the intervening time, but the inode has the bad  
luck to be evicted due to memory pressure before we reopen, we could  
miss the error.  A later patch will address that with a scheme  
for keeping files with dirty data open at all times, but we judge  
that to be too complicated to back-patch.

Add valgrind suppressions for wcsrtombs optimizations

wcsrtombs (called through wchar2char from common functions like lower,  
upper, etc.) uses various optimizations that may look like access to  
uninitialized data, triggering valgrind reports.  
  
For example AVX2 instructions load data in 256-bit chunks, and  gconv  
does something similar with 32-bit chunks.  This is faster than accessing  
the bytes one by one, and the uninitialized part of the buffer is not  
actually used. So suppress the bogus reports.  
  
The exact stack depends on possible optimizations - it might be AVX, SSE  
(as in the report by Aleksander Alekseev) or something else. Hence the  
last frame is wildcarded, to deal with this.

In commit ecfd55795, I removed sqlda.c's checks for ndigits != 0 on the  
grounds that we should duplicate the state of the numeric value's digit  
buffer even when all the digits are zeroes.  However, that still isn't  
quite right, because another possible state of the digit buffer is  
buf == digits == NULL (this occurs for a NaN).  As the code now stands,  
it'll invoke memcpy with a NULL source address and zero bytecount,  
which we know a few platforms crash on.  Hence, reinstate the no-copy  
short-circuit, but make it test specifically for buf != NULL rather than  
some other condition.  In hindsight, the ndigits test (added by commit  
f2ae9f9c3) was almost certainly meant to fix the NaN case not the  
all-zeroes case as the associated thread alleged.

If a failure happens when a transaction is starting between the moment  
the transaction status is changed from TRANS_DEFAULT to TRANS_START and  
the moment the current user ID and security context flags are fetched  
via GetUserIdAndSecContext(), or before initializing its basic fields,  
then those may get reset to incorrect values when the transaction  
aborts, leaving the session in an inconsistent state.  
  
One problem reported is that failing a starting transaction at the first  
query of a session could cause several kinds of system crashes on the  
follow-up queries.  
  
In order to solve that, move the initialization of the transaction state  
fields and the call of GetUserIdAndSecContext() in charge of fetching  
the current user ID close to the point where the transaction status is  
switched to TRANS_START, where there cannot be any error triggered  
in-between, per an idea of Tom Lane.  This properly ensures that the  
current user ID, the security context flags and that the basic fields of  
TransactionState remain consistent even if the transaction fails while  
starting.

classify_index_clause_usage() is O(N^2) in the number of distinct index  
qual clauses it considers, because of its use of a simple search list to  
store them.  For nearly all queries, that's fine because only a few clauses  
will be considered.  But Alexander Kuzmenkov reported a machine-generated  
query with 80000 (!) index qual clauses, which caused this code to take  
forever.  Somewhat remarkably, this is the only O(N^2) behavior we now  
have for such a query, so let's fix it.  
  
We can get rid of the O(N^2) runtime for cases like this without much  
damage to the functionality of choose_bitmap_and() by separating out  
paths with "too many" qual or pred clauses, and deeming them to always  
be nonredundant with other paths.  Then their clauses needn't go into  
the search list, so it doesn't get too long, but we don't lose the  
ability to consider bitmap AND plans altogether.  I set the threshold  
for "too many" to be 100 clauses per path, which should be plenty to  
ensure no change in planning behavior for normal queries.  
  
There are other things we could do to make this go faster, but it's not  
clear that it's worth any additional effort.  80000 qual clauses require  
a whole lot of work in many other places, too.  
  
The code's been like this for a long time, so back-patch to all supported  
branches.  The troublesome query only works back to 9.5 (in 9.4 it fails  
with stack overflow in the parser); so I'm not sure that fixing this in  
9.4 has any real-world benefit, but perhaps it does.

This patch fixes several related cases in which pg_shdepend entries were  
never made, or were lost, for references to roles appearing in the ACLs of  
schemas and/or types.  While that did no immediate harm, if a referenced  
role were later dropped, the drop would be allowed and would leave a  
dangling reference in the object's ACL.  That still wasn't a big problem  
for normal database usage, but it would cause obscure failures in  
subsequent dump/reload or pg_upgrade attempts, taking the form of  
attempts to grant privileges to all-numeric role names.  (I think I've  
seen field reports matching that symptom, but can't find any right now.)  
  
Several cases are fixed here:  
  
1. ALTER DOMAIN SET/DROP DEFAULT would lose the dependencies for any  
existing ACL entries for the domain.  This case is ancient, dating  
back as far as we've had pg_shdepend tracking at all.  
  
2. If a default type privilege applies, CREATE TYPE recorded the  
ACL properly but forgot to install dependency entries for it.  
This dates to the addition of default privileges for types in 9.2.  
  
3. If a default schema privilege applies, CREATE SCHEMA recorded the  
ACL properly but forgot to install dependency entries for it.  
This dates to the addition of default privileges for schemas in v10  
(commit ab89e465c).  
  
Another somewhat-related problem is that when creating a relation  
rowtype or implicit array type, TypeCreate would apply any available  
default type privileges to that type, which we don't really want  
since such an object isn't supposed to have privileges of its own.  
(You can't, for example, drop such privileges once they've been added  
to an array type.)  
  
ab89e465c is also to blame for a race condition in the regression tests:  
privileges.sql transiently installed globally-applicable default  
privileges on schemas, which sometimes got absorbed into the ACLs of  
schemas created by concurrent test scripts.  This should have resulted  
in failures when privileges.sql tried to drop the role holding such  
privileges; but thanks to the bug fixed here, it instead led to dangling  
ACLs in the final state of the regression database.  We'd managed not to  
notice that, but it became obvious in the wake of commit da906766c, which  
allowed the race condition to occur in pg_upgrade tests.  
  
To fix, add a function recordDependencyOnNewAcl to encapsulate what  
callers of get_user_default_acl need to do; while the original call  
sites got that right via ad-hoc code, none of the later-added ones  
have.  Also change GenerateTypeDependencies to generate these  
dependencies, which requires adding the typacl to its parameter list.  
(That might be annoying if there are any extensions calling that  
function directly; but if there are, they're most likely buggy in the  
same way as the core callers were, so they need work anyway.)  While  
I was at it, I changed GenerateTypeDependencies to accept most of its  
parameters in the form of a Form_pg_type pointer, making its parameter  
list a bit less unwieldy and mistake-prone.  
  
The test race condition is fixed just by wrapping the addition and  
removal of default privileges into a single transaction, so that that  
state is never visible externally.  We might eventually prefer to  
separate out tests of default privileges into a script that runs by  
itself, but that would be a bigger change and would make the tests  
run slower overall.  
  
Back-patch relevant parts to all supported branches.

This commit fixes a set of issues with ON COMMIT actions when used on  
partitioned tables and tables with inheritance children:  
- Applying ON COMMIT DROP on a partitioned table with partitions or on a  
table with inheritance children caused a failure at commit time, with  
complains about the children being already dropped as all relations are  
dropped one at the same time.  
- Applying ON COMMIT DELETE on a partition relying on a partitioned  
table which uses ON COMMIT DROP would cause the partition truncation to  
fail as the parent is removed first.  
  
The solution to the first problem is to handle the removal of all the  
dependencies in one go instead of dropping relations one-by-one, based  
on a suggestion from Álvaro Herrera.  So instead all the relation OIDs  
to remove are gathered and then processed in one round of multiple  
deletions.  
  
The solution to the second problem is to reorder the actions, with  
truncation happening first and relation drop done after.  Even if it  
means that a partition could be first truncated, then immediately  
dropped if its partitioned table is dropped, this has the merit to keep  
the code simple as there is no need to do existence checks on the  
relations to drop.  
  
Contrary to a manual TRUNCATE on a partitioned table, ON COMMIT DELETE  
does not cascade to its partitions.  The ON COMMIT action defined on  
each partition gets the priority.

Previously it was possible to set client_min_messages to FATAL or PANIC,  
which had the effect of suppressing transmission of regular ERROR messages  
to the client.  Perhaps that seemed like a useful option in the past, but  
the trouble with it is that it breaks guarantees that are explicitly made  
in our FE/BE protocol spec about how a query cycle can end.  While libpq  
and psql manage to cope with the omission, that's mostly because they  
are not very bright; client libraries that have more semantic knowledge  
are likely to get confused.  Notably, pgODBC doesn't behave very sanely.  
Let's fix this by getting rid of the ability to set client_min_messages  
above ERROR.  
  
In HEAD, just remove the FATAL and PANIC options from the set of allowed  
enum values for client_min_messages.  (This change also affects  
trace_recovery_messages, but that's OK since these aren't useful values  
for that variable either.)  
  
In the back branches, there was concern that rejecting these values might  
break applications that are explicitly setting things that way.  I'm  
pretty skeptical of that argument, but accommodate it by accepting these  
values and then internally setting the variable to ERROR anyway.  
  
In all branches, this allows a couple of tiny simplifications in the  
logic in elog.c, so do that.  
  
Also respond to the point that was made that client_min_messages has  
exactly nothing to do with the server's logging behavior, and therefore  
does not belong in the "When To Log" subsection of the documentation.  
The "Statement Behavior" subsection is a better match, so move it there.

Revise attribute handling code on partition creation

The original code to propagate NOT NULL and default expressions  
specified when creating a partition was mostly copy-pasted from  
typed-tables creation, but not being a great match it contained some  
duplicity, inefficiency and bugs.  
  
This commit fixes the bug that NOT NULL constraints declared in the  
parent table would not be honored in the partition.  One reported issue  
that is not fixed is that a DEFAULT declared in the child is not used  
when inserting through the parent.  That would amount to a behavioral  
change that's better not back-patched.  
  
This rewrite makes the code simpler:  
  
1. instead of checking for duplicate column names in its own block,  
reuse the original one that already did that;  
  
2. instead of concatenating the list of columns from parent and the one  
declared in the partition and scanning the result to (incorrectly)  
propagate defaults and not-null constraints, just scan the latter  
searching the former for a match, and merging sensibly.  This works  
because we know the list in the parent is already correct and there can  
only be one parent.  
  
This rewrite makes ColumnDef->is_from_parent unused, so it's removed  
on branch master; on released branches, it's kept as an unused field in  
order not to cause ABI incompatibilities.  
  
This commit also adds a test case for creating partitions with  
collations mismatching that on the parent table, something that is  
closely related to the code being patched.  No code change is introduced  
though, since that'd be a behavior change that could break some (broken)  
working applications.  
  
Amit Langote wrote a less invasive fix for the original  
NOT NULL/defaults bug, but while I kept the tests he added, I ended up  
not using his original code.  Ashutosh Bapat reviewed Amit's fix.  Amit  
reviewed mine.

Rename rbtree.c functions to use "rbt" prefix not "rb" prefix.

The "rb" prefix is used by Ruby, so that our existing code results  
in name collisions that break plruby.  We discussed ways to prevent  
that by adjusting dynamic linker options, but it seems that at best  
we'd move the pain to other cases.  Renaming to avoid the collision  
is the only portable fix anyway.  Fortunately, our rbtree code is  
not (yet?) widely used --- in core, there's only a single usage  
in GIN --- so it seems likely that we can get away with a rename.  
  
I chose to do this basically as s/rb/rbt/g, except for places where  
there already was a "t" after "rb".  The patch could have been made  
smaller by only touching linker-visible symbols, but it would have  
resulted in oddly inconsistent-looking code.  Better to make it look  
like "rbt" was the plan all along.  
  
Back-patch to v10.  The rbtree.c code exists back to 9.5, but  
rb_iterate() which is the actual immediate source of pain was added  
in v10, so it seems like changing the names before that would have  
more risk than benefit.  
  
Per report from Pavel Raiskup.
