In pg_upgrade, try a few times to open a log file.

If we call pg_ctl stop, the server might continue and thus  
hold a log file for a short time after it has deleted its pid file,  
(which is when pg_ctl will exit), and so a subsequent attempt to  
open the log file might fail.  
  
We therefore try to open it a few times, sleeping one second between  
tries, to give the server time to exit.  
  
This corrects an error that was observed on the buildfarm.

When the startup process restores a WAL file from the archive, it deletes  
any old file with the same name and renames the new file in its place. On  
Windows, however, when a file is deleted, it still lingers as long as a  
process holds a file handle open on it. With cascading replication, a  
walsender process can hold the old file open, so the rename() in the startup  
process would fail. To fix that, rename the old file to a temporary name, to  
make the original file name available for reuse, before deleting the old  
file.

pg_upgrade opened the output from pg_dumpall in text mode and  
wrote the split files in text mode. This caused unwanted eating  
of intended carriage returns on input and production of spurious  
carriage returns on output. To avoid this, open all these files  
in binary mode. On non-Windows platforms, this change has no  
effect.  
  
Backpatch to 9.0. On 9.0 and 9.1, we also switch from redirecting  
pg_dumpall's output to using pg_dumpall's -f switch, for the same  
reason.

Perl, for some unaccountable reason, believes it's a good idea to reset  
SIGFPE handling to SIG_IGN.  Which wouldn't be a good idea even if it  
worked; but on some platforms (Linux at least) it doesn't work at all,  
instead resulting in forced process termination if the signal occurs.  
Given the lack of other complaints, it seems safe to assume that Perl  
never actually provokes SIGFPE and so there is no value in the setting  
anyway.  Hence, reset it to our normal handler after initializing Perl.

Fix bugs in cascading replication with recovery_target_timeline='latest'

The cascading replication code assumed that the current RecoveryTargetTLI  
never changes, but that's not true with recovery_target_timeline='latest'.  
The obvious upshot of that is that RecoveryTargetTLI in shared memory needs  
to be protected by a lock. A less obvious consequence is that when a  
cascading standby is connected, and the standby switches to a new target  
timeline after scanning the archive, it will continue to stream WAL to the  
cascading standby, but from a wrong file, ie. the file of the previous  
timeline. For example, if the standby is currently streaming from the middle  
of file 000000010000000000000005, and the timeline changes, the standby  
will continue to stream from that file. However, the WAL on the new  
timeline is in file 000000020000000000000005, so the standby sends garbage  
from 000000010000000000000005 to the cascading standby, instead of the  
correct WAL from file 000000020000000000000005.  
  
This also fixes a related bug where a partial WAL segment is restored from  
the archive and streamed to a cascading standby. The code assumed that when  
a WAL segment is copied from the archive, it can immediately be fully  
streamed to a cascading standby. However, if the segment is only partially  
filled, ie. has the right size, but only N first bytes contain valid WAL,  
that's not safe. That can happen if a partial WAL segment is manually copied  
to the archive, or if a partial WAL segment is archived because a server is  
started up on a new timeline within that segment. The cascading standby will  
get confused if the WAL it received is not valid, and will get stuck until  
it's restarted. This patch fixes that problem by not allowing WAL restored  
from the archive to be streamed to a cascading standby until it's been  
replayed, and thus validated.

Serializable Snapshot Isolation used for serializable transactions  
depends on acquiring SIRead locks on all heap relation tuples which  
are used to generate the query result, so that a later delete or  
update of any of the tuples can flag a read-write conflict between  
transactions.  This is normally handled in heapam.c, with tuple level  
locking.  Since an index-only scan avoids heap access in many cases,  
building the result from the index tuple, the necessary predicate  
locks were not being acquired for all tuples in an index-only scan.  
  
To prevent problems with tuple IDs which are vacuumed and re-used  
while the transaction still matters, the xmin of the tuple is part of  
the tag for the tuple lock.  Since xmin is not available to the  
index-only scan for result rows generated from the index tuples, it  
is not possible to acquire a tuple-level predicate lock in such  
cases, in spite of having the tid.  If we went to the heap to get the  
xmin value, it would no longer be an index-only scan.  Rather than  
prohibit index-only scans under serializable transaction isolation,  
we acquire an SIRead lock on the page containing the tuple, when it  
was not necessary to visit the heap for other reasons.

pg_upgrade produces a platform-specific script to remove the old  
directory, but on Windows it has not been making sure that the

Formerly it would only show them for relkinds 'r' and 'f' (plain tables  
and foreign tables).  However, as of 9.2, views can also have reloptions,  
namely security_barrier.  The relkind restriction seems pointless and  
not at all future-proof, so just print reloptions whenever there are any.  
  
In passing, make some cosmetic improvements to the code that pulls the  
"tableinfo" fields out of the PGresult.  
  
Noted and patched by Dean Rasheed, with adjustment for all relkinds by me.

This was removed in commit cd004067742ee16ee63e55abfb4acbd5f09fbaab,  
we're not quite sure why, but there have been reports of crashes due  
to AS Perl being built with it when we are not, and it certainly  
seems like the right thing to do. There is still some uncertainty  
as to why it sometimes fails and sometimes doesn't.

We previously supposed that any given platform would supply both or neither  
of these functions, so that one configure test would be sufficient.  It now  
appears that at least on AIX this is not the case ... which is likely an  
AIX bug, but nonetheless we need to cope with it.  So use separate tests.  
Per bug #6758; thanks to Andrew Hastie for doing the followup testing  
needed to confirm what was happening.  
  
Backpatch to 9.1, where we began using these functions.

This back-ports commits c8ba697a4bdb934f0c51424c654e8db6133ea255 and  
e5db11c5582b469c04a11f217a0f32c827da5dd7, which fix one definite and one  
speculative bug in gistchoose, and make the code a lot more intelligible as  
well.  In 9.2 only, this also affects the largely-copied-and-pasted logic  
in gistRelocateBuildBuffersOnSplit.  
  
The impact of the bugs was that the functions might make poor decisions  
as to which index tree branch to push a new entry down into, resulting in  
GiST index bloat and poor performance.  The fixes rectify these decisions  
for future insertions, but a REINDEX would be needed to clean up any  
existing index bloat.

The GUC check hooks for transaction_read_only and transaction_isolation  
tried to check RecoveryInProgress(), so as to disallow setting read/write  
mode or serializable isolation level (respectively) in hot standby  
sessions.  However, GUC check hooks can be called in many situations where  
we're not connected to shared memory at all, resulting in a crash in  
RecoveryInProgress().  Among other cases, this results in EXEC_BACKEND  
builds crashing during child process start if default_transaction_isolation  
is serializable, as reported by Heikki Linnakangas.  Protect those calls  
by silently allowing any setting when not inside a transaction; which is  
okay anyway since these GUCs are always reset at start of transaction.  
  
Also, add a check to GetSerializableTransactionSnapshot() to complain  
if we are in hot standby.  We need that check despite the one in  
check_XactIsoLevel() because default_transaction_isolation could be  
serializable.  We don't want to complain any sooner than this in such  
cases, since that would prevent running transactions at all in such a  
state; but a transaction can be run, if SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION is done  
before setting a snapshot.  Per report some months ago from Robert Haas.  
  
Back-patch to 9.1, since these problems were introduced by the SSI patch.

If we revoke a grant option from some role X, but X still holds the option  
via another grant, we should not recursively revoke the privilege from  
role(s) Y that X had granted it to.  This was supposedly fixed as one  
aspect of commit 4b2dafcc0b1a579ef5daaa2728223006d1ff98e9, but I must not  
have tested it, because in fact that code never worked: it forgot to shift  
the grant-option bits back over when masking the bits being revoked.

the planner will try custom plans with actual values of the parameters,  
and observe that they are a lot cheaper than the generic plan, and thus

The docs claimed that this mode only waits for the standby to receive WAL  
data, but actually it waits for the data to be written out to the standby's  
OS; which is a pretty significant difference because it removes the risk of  
crash of the walreceiver process.

If a view has circular dependencies, pg_dump splits it into a CREATE TABLE  
and a CREATE RULE command to break the dependency loop.  However, if the  
view has reloptions, those options cannot be applied in the CREATE TABLE  
command, because views and tables have different allowed reloptions so  
CREATE TABLE would reject them.  Instead apply the reloptions after the  
CREATE RULE, using ALTER VIEW SET.

We had put a test for libxml2's xmlStructuredErrorContext variable in  
configure, but of course that doesn't work on Windows builds.  The next  
best alternative seems to be to test the LIBXML_VERSION symbol provided  
by xmlversion.h.

In the initial cut at the "parameterized paths" feature, I'd simplified  
create_index_paths() to the point where it would only generate a single  
parameterized bitmap path per relation.  Experimentation with an example  
supplied by Josh Berkus convinces me that that's not good enough: we really  
need to consider a bitmap path for each possible outer relation.  Otherwise  
we have regressions relative to pre-9.2 versions, in which the planner  
picks a plain indexscan where it should have used a bitmap scan in queries  
involving three or more tables.  Indeed, after fixing this, several queries  
in the regression tests show improved plans as a result of using bitmap not  
plain indexscans.

We use a hash table to track the parents of inner pages, but when inserting  
to a leaf page, the caller of gistbufferinginserttuples() must pass a  
correct block number of the leaf's parent page. Before gistProcessItup()  
descends to a child page, it checks if the downlink needs to be adjusted to  
accommodate the new tuple, and updates the downlink if necessary. However,  
updating the downlink might require splitting the page, which might move the  
downlink to a page to the right. gistProcessItup() doesn't realize that, so  
when it descends to the leaf page, it might pass an out-of-date parent block  
number as a result. Fix that by returning the block a tuple was inserted to  
from gistbufferinginserttuples().

The previous coding essentially assumed that nodes would be rescanned in  
the same order they were initialized in; or at least that the "leader" of  
a group of CTEscans would be rescanned before any others were required to  
execute.  Unfortunately, that isn't even a little bit true.  It's possible  
to devise queries in which the leader isn't rescanned until other CTEscans  
on the same CTE have run to completion, or even in which the leader never  
gets a rescan call at all.  
  
The fix makes the leader specially responsible only for initial creation  
and final destruction of the tuplestore; rescan resets are now a  
symmetrically shared responsibility.  This means that we might reset the  
tuplestore multiple times when restarting a plan subtree containing  
multiple CTEscans; but resetting an already-empty tuplestore is cheap  
enough that that doesn't seem like a problem.  
  
Per report from Adam Mackler; the new regression test cases are based on  
his example query.  
  
Back-patch to 8.4 where CTE scans were introduced.

This situation creates a dependency loop that confuses pg_dump and probably  
other things.  Moreover, since the mental model is that the extension  
"contains" schemas it owns, but "is contained in" its extschema (even  
though neither is strictly true), having both true at once is confusing for  
people too.  So prevent the situation from being set up.  
  
Reported and patched by Thom Brown.  Back-patch to 9.1 where extensions  
were added.

Resurrect the "last ditch" code path in join_search_one_level().

This essentially reverts commit e54b10a62db2991235fe800c629baef4531a6d67,  
in which I'd decided that the "last ditch" join logic was useless.  The  
folly of that is now exposed by a report from Pavel Stehule: although the  
function should always find at least one join in a self-contained join  
problem, it can still fail to do so in a sub-problem created by artificial  
from_collapse_limit or join_collapse_limit constraints.  Adjust the  
comments to describe this, and simplify the code a bit to match the new  
coding of the earlier loop in the function.  
  
I'm not terribly happy about this: I still subscribe to the opinion stated  
in the previous commit message that the "last ditch" code can obscure logic  
bugs elsewhere.  But the alternative seems to be to complicate the earlier  
tests for does-this-relation-have-a-join-clause to the point where they can  
tell whether the join clauses link outside the current join sub-problem.  
And that looks messy, slow, and possibly a source of bugs in itself.  
In any case, now is not the time to be inserting experimental code into  
9.2, so let's just go back to the time-tested solution.

Prevent access to external files/URLs via contrib/xml2's xslt_process().

libxslt offers the ability to read and write both files and URLs through  
stylesheet commands, thus allowing unprivileged database users to both read  
and write data with the privileges of the database server.  Disable that  
through proper use of libxslt's security options.  
  
Also, remove xslt_process()'s ability to fetch documents and stylesheets  
from external files/URLs.  While this was a documented "feature", it was  
long regarded as a terrible idea.  The fix for CVE-2012-3489 broke that  
capability, and rather than expend effort on trying to fix it, we're just  
going to summarily remove it.  
  
While the ability to write as well as read makes this security hole  
considerably worse than CVE-2012-3489, the problem is mitigated by the fact  
that xslt_process() is not available unless contrib/xml2 is installed,  
and the longstanding warnings about security risks from that should have  
discouraged prudent DBAs from installing it in security-exposed databases.

xml_parse() would attempt to fetch external files or URLs as needed to  
resolve DTD and entity references in an XML value, thus allowing  
unprivileged database users to attempt to fetch data with the privileges  
of the database server.  While the external data wouldn't get returned  
directly to the user, portions of it could be exposed in error messages  
if the data didn't parse as valid XML; and in any case the mere ability  
to check existence of a file might be useful to an attacker.  
  
The ideal solution to this would still allow fetching of references that  
are listed in the host system's XML catalogs, so that documents can be  
validated according to installed DTDs.  However, doing that with the  
available libxml2 APIs appears complex and error-prone, so we're not going  
to risk it in a security patch that necessarily hasn't gotten wide review.  
So this patch merely shuts off all access, causing any external fetch to  
silently expand to an empty string.  A future patch may improve this.  
  
In HEAD and 9.2, also suppress warnings about undefined entities, which  
would otherwise occur as a result of not loading referenced DTDs.  Previous  
branches don't show such warnings anyway, due to different error handling  
arrangements.  
  
Credit to Noah Misch for first reporting the problem, and for much work  
towards a solution, though this simplistic approach was not his preference.  
Also thanks to Daniel Veillard for consultation.

Fix dependencies generated during ALTER TABLE ADD CONSTRAINT USING INDEX.

This command generated new pg_depend entries linking the index to the  
constraint and the constraint to the table, which match the entries made  
when a unique or primary key constraint is built de novo.  However, it did  
not bother to get rid of the entries linking the index directly to the  
table.  We had considered the issue when the ADD CONSTRAINT USING INDEX  
patch was written, and concluded that we didn't need to get rid of the  
extra entries.  But this is wrong: ALTER COLUMN TYPE wasn't expecting such  
redundant dependencies to exist, as reported by Hubert Depesz Lubaczewski.  
On reflection it seems rather likely to break other things as well, since  
there are many bits of code that crawl pg_depend for one purpose or  
another, and most of them are pretty naive about what relationships they're

Fix minor bug in XLogFileRead() that accidentally worked. Cascading replication copied the incoming file into pg_xlog but didn't set path correctly, so the first attempt to open file failed causing it to loop around and look for file in pg_xlog. So the earlier coding worked, but accidentally rather than by design.

This was broken in commit ed0b409d22346b1b027a4c2099ca66984d94b6dd,  
which revised the GlobalTransactionData struct to not include the  
associated PGPROC as its first member, but overlooked one place where  
a cast was used in reliance on that equivalence.  
  
The most effective way of fixing this seems to be to create a new function  
that looks up the GlobalTransactionData struct given the XID, and make  
both TwoPhaseGetDummyBackendId and TwoPhaseGetDummyProc rely on that.

We used to convert the unicode object directly to a string in the server  
encoding by calling Python's PyUnicode_AsEncodedString function. In other  
words, we used Python's routines to do the encoding. However, that has a  
few problems. First of all, it required keeping a mapping table of Python  
encoding names and PostgreSQL encodings. But the real killer was that Python  
doesn't support EUC_TW and MULE_INTERNAL encodings at all.  
  
Instead, convert the Python unicode object to UTF-8, and use PostgreSQL's  
encoding conversion functions to convert from UTF-8 to server encoding. We  
were already doing the same in the other direction in PLyUnicode_FromString,  
so this is more consistent, too.  
  
Note: This makes SQL_ASCII to behave more leniently. We used to map  
SQL_ASCII to Python's 'ascii', which on Python means strict 7-bit ASCII  
only, so you got an error if the python string contained anything but pure  
ASCII. You no longer get an error; you get the UTF-8 representation of the  
string instead.  
  
Backpatch to 9.0, where these conversions were introduced.

DecodeInterval() failed to honor the "range" parameter (the special SQL  
syntax for indicating which fields appear in the literal string) if the  
time was signed.  This seems inappropriate, so make it work like the  
not-signed case.  The inconsistency was introduced in my commit  
f867339c0148381eb1d01f93ab5c79f9d10211de, which as noted in its log message  
was only really focused on making SQL-compliant literals work per spec.  
Including a sign here is not per spec, but if we're going to allow it  
then it's reasonable to expect it to work like the not-signed case.  
  
Also, remove bogus setting of tmask, which caused subsequent processing to  
think that what had been given was a timezone and not an hh:mm(:ss) field,  
thus confusing checks for redundant fields.  This seems to be an aboriginal  
mistake in Lockhart's commit 2cf1642461536d0d8f3a1cf124ead0eac04eb760.  
  
Add regression test cases to illustrate the changed behaviors.

literals was added.

As noted by Noah Misch, btree_xlog_delete_get_latestRemovedXid is  
critically dependent on the assumption that it's examining a consistent  
state of the database.  This was undocumented though, so the  
seemingly-unrelated check for no active HS sessions might be thought to be  
merely an optional optimization.  Improve comments, and add an explicit  
check of reachedConsistency just to be sure.  
  
This function returns InvalidTransactionId (thereby killing all HS  
transactions) in several cases that are not nearly unlikely enough for my  
taste.  This commit doesn't attempt to fix those deficiencies, just  
document them.  
  
Back-patch to 9.2, not from any real functional need but just to keep the  
branches more closely synced to simplify possible future back-patching.

put it before spgRedoVacuumRedirect itself would modify the index page ---  
but not before RestoreBkpBlocks, so replay of a record with a full-page

The correct test for whether a redirection tuple is removable is whether  
tuple's xid < RecentGlobalXmin, not OldestXmin; the previous coding  
failed to protect index searches being done in concurrent transactions that  
have no XID.  This mirrors the recent fix in btree's page recycling logic  
made in commit d3abbbebe52eb1e59e621c880ad57df9d40d13f2.  
  
Also, WAL-log the newest XID of any removed redirection tuple on an index  
page, and apply ResolveRecoveryConflictWithSnapshot during InHotStandby WAL  
replay.  This protects against concurrent Hot Standby transactions possibly  
needing to see the redirection tuple(s).  
  
Per my query of 2012-03-12 and subsequent discussion.

Replace libpq's "row processor" API with a "single row" mode.

After taking awhile to digest the row-processor feature that was added to  
libpq in commit 92785dac2ee7026948962cd61c4cd84a2d052772, we've concluded  
it is over-complicated and too hard to use.  Leave the core infrastructure  
changes in place (that is, there's still a row processor function inside  
libpq), but remove the exposed API pieces, and instead provide a "single  
row" mode switch that causes PQgetResult to return one row at a time in  
separate PGresult objects.  
  
This approach incurs more overhead than proper use of a row processor  
callback would, since construction of a PGresult per row adds extra cycles.  
However, it is far easier to use and harder to break.  The single-row mode  
still affords applications the primary benefit that the row processor API  
was meant to provide, namely not having to accumulate large result sets in  
memory before processing them.  Preliminary testing suggests that we can  
probably buy back most of the extra cycles by micro-optimizing construction  
of the extra results, but that task will be left for another day.

Parse analysis neglected to cover the case of a WITH clause attached to an  
intermediate-level set operation; it only handled WITH at the top level  
or WITH attached to a leaf-level SELECT.  Per report from Adam Mackler.  
  
In HEAD, I rearranged the order of SelectStmt's fields to put withClause  
with the other fields that can appear on non-leaf SelectStmts.  In back  
branches, leave it alone to avoid a possible ABI break for third-party  
code.  
  
Back-patch to 8.4 where WITH support was added.

In the original coding of the log rotation stuff, we did not bother to make  
the truncation logic work for the very first rotation after postmaster  
start (or after a syslogger crash and restart).  It just always appended  
in that case.  It did not seem terribly important at the time, but we've  
recently had two separate complaints from people who expected it to work  
unsurprisingly.  (Both users tend to restart the postmaster about as often  
as a log rotation is configured to happen, which is maybe not typical use,  
but still...)  Since the initial log file is opened in the postmaster,  
fixing this requires passing down some more state to the syslogger child  
process.  
  
It's always been like this, so back-patch to all supported branches.

The most user-visible part of this is to change the long options  
--statusint and --noloop to --status-interval and --no-loop,  
respectively, per discussion.  
  
Also, consistently enclose file names in double quotes, per our  
conventions; and consistently use the term "transaction log file" to  
talk about WAL segments.  (Someday we may need to go over this  
terminology and make it consistent across the whole source code.)  
  
Finally, reflow the code to better fit in 80 columns, and have pgindent  
fix it up some more.

When the internal loop mode was added, freeing memory and closing  
filedescriptors before returning became important, and a few cases  
in the code missed that.  
  
This is a backpatch of commit 058a050e to the 9.2 branch, which seems to  
have been neglected (in error, because the bugs it fixes were introduced  
in commit 16282ae6 which is present in both master and 9.2).

This function suppressed any stderr output from the called program, which  
is unnecessary in the normal case and unhelpful in error cases.  It also  
gave a rather opaque message along the lines of "fgets failure: Success"  
in case the called program failed to return anything on stdout.  Since  
we've seen multiple reports of people not understanding what's wrong when  
pg_ctl reports this, improve the message.

In the original coding of the autovacuum cancel feature, commit  
acac68b2bcae818bc8803b8cb8cbb17eee8d5e2b, an autovacuum process was  
considered a target for cancellation if it was found to hard-block any  
process examined in the deadlock search.  This patch tightens the test so  
that the autovacuum must directly hard-block the current process.  This  
should make the behavior more predictable in general, and in particular  
it ensures that an autovacuum will not be canceled with less than  
deadlock_timeout grace period.  In the old coding, it was possible for an  
autovacuum to be canceled almost instantly, given unfortunate timing of two  
or more other processes' lock attempts.  
  
This also justifies the logging methodology in the recent commit  
d7318d43d891bd63e82dcfc27948113ed7b1db80; without this restriction, that  
patch isn't providing enough information to see the connection of the  
canceling process to the autovacuum.  Like that one, patch all the way  
back.

The old message was at DEBUG2, so typically it didn't show up in the  
log at all.  As a result, in most cases where autovacuum was canceled,  
the only information that was logged was the table being vacuumed,  
with no indication as to what problem caused the cancel.  Crank up  
the level to LOG and add some more details to assist with debugging.  
  
Back-patch all the way, per discussion on pgsql-hackers.

If a crash occurred immediately after the first nextval() call for a serial  
column, WAL replay would restore the sequence to a state in which it  
appeared that no nextval() had been done, thus allowing the first sequence  
value to be returned again by the next nextval() call; as reported in  
bug #6748 from Xiangming Mei.  
  
More generally, the problem would occur if an ALTER SEQUENCE was executed  
on a freshly created or reset sequence.  (The manifestation with serial  
columns was introduced in 8.2 when we added an ALTER SEQUENCE OWNED BY step  
to serial column creation.)  The cause is that sequence creation attempted  
to save one WAL entry by writing out a WAL record that made it appear that  
the first nextval() had already happened (viz, with is_called = true),  
while marking the sequence's in-database state with log_cnt = 1 to show  
that the first nextval() need not emit a WAL record.  However, ALTER  
SEQUENCE would emit a new WAL entry reflecting the actual in-database state  
(with is_called = false).  Then, nextval would allocate the first sequence  
value and set is_called = true, but it would trust the log_cnt value and  
not emit any WAL record.  A crash at this point would thus restore the  
sequence to its post-ALTER state, causing the next nextval() call to return  
the first sequence value again.  
  
To fix, get rid of the idea of logging an is_called status different from  
reality.  This means that the first nextval-driven WAL record will happen  
at the first nextval call not the second, but the marginal cost of that is  
pretty negligible.  In addition, make sure that ALTER SEQUENCE resets  
log_cnt to zero in any case where it touches sequence parameters that  
affect future nextval results.  This will result in some user-visible  
changes in the contents of a sequence's log_cnt column, as reflected in the  
patch's regression test changes; but no application should be depending on  
that anyway, since it was already true that log_cnt changes rather  
unpredictably depending on checkpoint timing.  
  
In addition, make some basically-cosmetic improvements to get rid of  
sequence.c's undesirable intimacy with page layout details.  It was always  
really trying to WAL-log the contents of the sequence tuple, so we should  
have it do that directly using a HeapTuple's t_data and t_len, rather than  
backing into it with some magic assumptions about where the tuple would be  
on the sequence's page.

The initially implemented syntax, "CHECK NO INHERIT (expr)" was not  
deemed very good, so switch to "CHECK (expr) NO INHERIT" instead.  This  
way it looks similar to SQL-standards compliant constraint attribute.  
  
Backport to 9.2 where the new syntax and feature was introduced.  
  
Per discussion.

Commit f5bcd398addcbeb785f0513cf28cba5d1ecd2c8a introduced a test using  
a table named "circles" in inherit.sql.  Unfortunately, the concurrently  
executed constraints test was already using that table name, so the  
parallel regression tests would sometimes fail.  Rename table to dodge  
the problem.  Per buildfarm.

We made use of the ROWS estimate for set-returning functions used in FROM,  
but not for those used in SELECT targetlists; which is a bit of an  
oversight considering there are common usages that require the latter  
approach.  Improve that.  (I had initially thought it might be worth  
folding this into cost_qual_eval, but after investigation concluded that  
that wouldn't be very helpful, so just do it separately.)  Per complaint

The code was setting it true for other constraints, which is  
bogus.  Doing so caused bogus catalog entries for such constraints, and  
in particular caused an error to be raised when trying to drop a  
constraint of types other than CHECK from a table that has children,  
such as reported in bug #6712.  
  
In 9.2, additionally ignore connoinherit=true for other constraint  
types, to avoid having to force initdb; existing databases might already  
contain bogus catalog entries.

When a whole-row Var is reading the result of a subquery, we need it to  
ignore any "resjunk" columns that the subquery might have evaluated for  
GROUP BY or ORDER BY purposes.  We've hacked this area before, in commit  
68e40998d058c1f6662800a648ff1e1ce5d99cba, but that fix only covered  
whole-row Vars of named composite types, not those of RECORD type; and it  
was mighty klugy anyway, since it just assumed without checking that any  
extra columns in the result must be resjunk.  A proper fix requires getting  
hold of the subquery's targetlist so we can actually see which columns are  
resjunk (whereupon we can use a JunkFilter to get rid of them).  So bite  
the bullet and add some infrastructure to make that possible.  
  
Per report from Andrew Dunstan and additional testing by Merlin Moncure.

Instead of having one hash table entry per relation/fork/segment, just have  
one per relation, and use bitmapsets to represent which specific segments  
need to be fsync'd.  This eliminates the need to scan the whole hash table  
to implement FORGET_RELATION_FSYNC, which fixes the O(N^2) behavior  
recently demonstrated by Jeff Janes for cases involving lots of TRUNCATE or  
DROP TABLE operations during a single checkpoint cycle.  Per an idea from  
Robert Haas.  
  
(FORGET_DATABASE_FSYNC still sucks, but since dropping a database is a  
pretty expensive operation anyway, we'll live with that.)  
  
In passing, improve the delayed-unlink code: remove the pass over the list  
in mdpreckpt, since it wasn't doing anything for us except supporting a  
useless Assert in mdpostckpt, and fix mdpostckpt so that it will absorb  
fsync requests every so often when clearing a large backlog of deletion  
requests.

We were sending one per fork, but a little bit of refactoring allows us  
to send just one request with forknum == InvalidForkNumber.  This not only  
reduces pressure on the shared-memory request queue, but saves repeated

Functions like range_eq, range_before etc. are exposed at the SQL-level, but  
they're also used internally by the GiST consistent support function. The  
code sharing was done by a hack, TrickFunctionCall2, which relied on the  
knowledge that all the functions used fn_extra the same way. This commit  
splits the functions into internal versions that take a TypeCacheEntry as  
argument, and thin wrappers to expose the functions at the SQL-level. The  
internal versions can then be called directly and in a less hacky way from  
the GiST consistent function.  
  
This is just cosmetic, but backpatch to 9.2 anyway, to avoid having a  
different version of this code in the 9.2 branch. That would make  
backpatching fixes in this area more difficult.

ForwardFsyncRequest() supposed that it could only be called in regular  
backends, which used to be true; but since the splitup of bgwriter and  
checkpointer, it is also called in the bgwriter.  We do not want to count  
such calls in pg_stat_bgwriter.buffers_backend statistics, so fix things  
so that they aren't.  
  
(It's worth noting here that this implies an alarmingly large increase in  
the expected amount of cross-process fsync request traffic, which may well  
mean that the process splitup was not such a hot idea.)

mdinit() was misusing IsBootstrapProcessingMode() to decide whether to  
create an fsync pending-operations table in the current process.  This led  
to creating a table not only in the startup and checkpointer processes as  
intended, but also in the bgwriter process, not to mention other auxiliary  
processes such as walwriter and walreceiver.  Creation of the table in the  
bgwriter is fatal, because it absorbs fsync requests that should have gone  
to the checkpointer; instead they just sit in bgwriter local memory and are  
never acted on.  So writes performed by the bgwriter were not being fsync'd  
which could result in data loss after an OS crash.  I think there is no  
live bug with respect to walwriter and walreceiver because those never  
perform any writes of shared buffers; but the potential is there for  
future breakage in those processes too.  
  
To fix, make AuxiliaryProcessMain() export the current process's  
AuxProcType as a global variable, and then make mdinit() test directly for  
the types of aux process that should have a pendingOpsTable.  Having done  
that, we might as well also get rid of the random bool flags such as  
am_walreceiver that some of the aux processes had grown.  (Note that we  
could not have fixed the bug by examining those variables in mdinit(),  
because it's called from BaseInit() which is run by AuxiliaryProcessMain()  
before entering any of the process-type-specific code.)  
  
Back-patch to 9.2, where the problem was introduced by the split-up of  
bgwriter and checkpointer processes.  The bogus pendingOpsTable exists  
in walwriter and walreceiver processes in earlier branches, but absent  
any evidence that it causes actual problems there, I'll leave the older  
branches alone.

In all branches back to 8.3, this patch fixes a questionable assumption in  
CompactCheckpointerRequestQueue/CompactBgwriterRequestQueue that there are  
no uninitialized pad bytes in the request queue structs.  This would only  
cause trouble if (a) there were such pad bytes, which could happen in 8.4  
and up if the compiler makes enum ForkNumber narrower than 32 bits, but  
otherwise would require not-currently-planned changes in the widths of  
other typedefs; and (b) the kernel has not uniformly initialized the  
contents of shared memory to zeroes.  Still, it seems a tad risky, and we  
can easily remove any risk by pre-zeroing the request array for ourselves.  
In addition to that, we need to establish a coding rule that struct  
RelFileNode can't contain any padding bytes, since such structs are copied  
into the request array verbatim.  (There are other places that are assuming  
this anyway, it turns out.)  
  
In 9.1 and up, the risk was a bit larger because we were also effectively  
assuming that struct RelFileNodeBackend contained no pad bytes, and with  
fields of different types in there, that would be much easier to break.  
However, there is no good reason to ever transmit fsync or delete requests  
for temp files to the bgwriter/checkpointer, so we can revert the request  
structs to plain RelFileNode, getting rid of the padding risk and saving  
some marginal number of bytes and cycles in fsync queue manipulation while  
we are at it.  The savings might be more than marginal during deletion of  
a temp relation, because the old code transmitted an entirely useless but  
nonetheless expensive-to-process ForgetRelationFsync request to the  
background process, and also had the background process perform the file  
deletion even though that can safely be done immediately.  
  
In addition, make some cleanup of nearby comments and small improvements to  
the code in CompactCheckpointerRequestQueue/CompactBgwriterRequestQueue.

These only pass cleanly on UTF8 and SQL_ASCII encodings, besides the  
Japanese encoding in which they were originally written, which is clearly  
not good enough.  Since the functionality they test has not ever been

Formerly, when trying to copy both indexes and comments, CREATE TABLE LIKE  
had to pre-assign names to indexes that had comments, because it made up an  
explicit CommentStmt command to apply the comment and so it had to know the  
name for the index.  This creates bad interactions with other indexes, as  
shown in bug #6734 from Daniele Varrazzo: the preassignment logic couldn't  
take any other indexes into account so it could choose a conflicting name.  
  
To fix, add a field to IndexStmt that allows it to carry a comment to be  
assigned to the new index.  (This isn't a user-exposed feature of CREATE  
INDEX, only an internal option.)  Now we don't need preassignment of index  
names in any situation.  
  
I also took the opportunity to refactor DefineIndex to accept the IndexStmt  
as such, rather than passing all its fields individually in a mile-long  
parameter list.  
  
Back-patch to 9.2, but no further, because it seems too dangerous to change  
IndexStmt or DefineIndex's API in released branches.  The bug exists back  
to 9.0 where CREATE TABLE LIKE grew the ability to copy comments, but given  
the lack of prior complaints we'll just let it go unfixed before 9.2.

rfree() failed to cope with the case that pg_regcomp() had initialized the  
regex_t struct but then failed to allocate any memory for re->re_guts (ie,  
the first malloc call in pg_regcomp() failed).  It would try to touch the  
guts struct anyway, and thus dump core.  This is a sufficiently narrow  
corner case that it's not surprising it's never been seen in the field;  
but still a bug is a bug, so patch all active branches.  
  
Noted while investigating whether we need to call pg_regfree after a  
failure return from pg_regcomp.  Other than this bug, it turns out we  
don't, so adjust comments appropriately.

Fix walsender processes to establish a SIGALRM handler.

Walsenders must have working SIGALRM handling during InitPostgres,  
but they set the handler to SIG_IGN so that nothing would happen  
if a timeout was reached.  This could result in two failure modes:  
  
* If a walsender participated in a deadlock during its authentication  
transaction, and was the last to wait in the deadly embrace, the deadlock  
would not get cleared automatically.  This would require somebody to be  
trying to take out AccessExclusiveLock on multiple system catalogs, so  
it's not very probable.  
  
* If a client failed to respond to a walsender's authentication challenge,  
the intended disconnect after AuthenticationTimeout wouldn't happen, and  
the walsender would wait indefinitely for the client.  
  
For the moment, fix in back branches only, since this is fixed in a  
different way in the timeout-infrastructure patch that's awaiting  
application to HEAD.  If we choose not to apply that, then we'll need  
to do this in HEAD as well.

Refactor pattern_fixed_prefix() to avoid dealing in incomplete patterns.

Previously, pattern_fixed_prefix() was defined to return whatever fixed  
prefix it could extract from the pattern, plus the "rest" of the pattern.  
That definition was sensible for LIKE patterns, but not so much for  
regexes, where reconstituting a valid pattern minus the prefix could be  
quite tricky (certainly the existing code wasn't doing that correctly).  
Since the only thing that callers ever did with the "rest" of the pattern  
was to pass it to like_selectivity() or regex_selectivity(), let's cut out  
the middle-man and just have pattern_fixed_prefix's subroutines do this  
directly.  Then pattern_fixed_prefix can return a simple selectivity  
number, and the question of how to cope with partial patterns is removed  
from its API specification.  
  
While at it, adjust the API spec so that callers who don't actually care  
about the pattern's selectivity (which is a lot of them) can pass NULL for  
the selectivity pointer to skip doing the work of computing a selectivity  
estimate.  
  
This patch is only an API refactoring that doesn't actually change any  
processing, other than allowing a little bit of useless work to be skipped.  
However, it's necessary infrastructure for my upcoming fix to regex prefix  
extraction, because after that change there won't be any simple way to  
identify the "rest" of the regex, not even to the low level of fidelity  
needed by regex_selectivity.  We can cope with that if regex_fixed_prefix  
and regex_selectivity communicate directly, but not if we have to work  
within the old API.  Hence, back-patch to all active branches.

We can do this without creating an API break for estimation functions  
by passing the collation using the existing fmgr functionality for  
passing an input collation as a hidden parameter.  
  
The need for this was foreseen at the outset, but we didn't get around to  
making it happen in 9.1 because of the decision to sort all pg_statistic  
histograms according to the database's default collation.  That meant that  
selectivity estimators generally need to use the default collation too,  
even if they're estimating for an operator that will do something  
different.  The reason it's suddenly become more interesting is that  
regexp interpretation also uses a collation (for its LC_TYPE not LC_COLLATE  
property), and we no longer want to use the wrong collation when examining  
regexps during planning.  It's not that the selectivity estimate is likely  
to change much from this; rather that we are thinking of caching compiled  
regexps during planner estimation, and we won't get the intended benefit  
if we cache them with a different collation than the executor will use.  
  
Back-patch to 9.1, both because the regexp change is likely to get  
back-patched and because we might as well get this right in all  
collation-supporting branches, in case any third-party code wants to  
rely on getting the collation.  The patch turns out to be minuscule  
now that I've done it ...

join_path_components() tried to remove leading ".." components from its  
tail argument, but it was not nearly bright enough to do so correctly  
unless the head argument was (a) absolute and (b) canonicalized.  
Rather than try to fix that logic, let's just get rid of it: there is no  
correctness reason to remove "..", and cosmetic concerns can be taken  
care of by a subsequent canonicalize_path() call.  Per bug #6715 from  
Greg Davidson.  
  
Back-patch to all supported branches.  It appears that pre-9.2, this  
function is only used with absolute paths as head arguments, which is why  
we'd not noticed the breakage before.  However, third-party code might be  
expecting this function to work in more general cases, so it seems wise  
to back-patch.  
  
In HEAD and 9.2, also make some minor cosmetic improvements to callers.

That caused the plpython_unicode regression test to fail on SQL_ASCII  
encoding, as evidenced by the buildfarm. The reason is that with the patch,  
you don't get the detail in the error message that you got before. That  
detail is actually very informative, so rather than just adjust the expected  
output, let's revert that part of the patch for now to make the buildfarm  
green again, and figure out some other way to avoid the recursion of  
PLy_elog() that doesn't lose the detail.

Windows encodings, "win1252" and so forth, are named differently in Python,  
like "cp1252". Also, if the PyUnicode_AsEncodedString() function call fails  
for some reason, use a plain ereport(), not a PLy_elog(), to report that  
error. That avoids recursion and crash, if PLy_elog() tries to call  
PLyUnicode_Bytes() again.  
  
This fixes bug reported by Asif Naeem. Backpatch down to 9.0, before that

Per bug #6593, REASSIGN OWNED fails when the affected role has created  
an extension.  Even though the user related to the extension is not  
nominally the owner, its OID appears on pg_shdepend and thus causes  
problems when the user is to be dropped.  
  
This commit adds code to change the "ownership" of the extension itself,  
not of the contained objects.  This is fine because it's currently only  
called from REASSIGN OWNED, which would also modify the ownership of the  
contained objects.  However, this is not sufficient for a working ALTER  
OWNER implementation extension.  
  
Back-patch to 9.1, where extensions were introduced.

When (re) loading the typcache comparison cache for an enum type's values,  
use an up-to-date MVCC snapshot, not the transaction's existing snapshot.  
This avoids problems if we encounter an enum OID that was created since our  
transaction started.  Per report from Andres Freund and diagnosis by Robert  
Haas.  
  
To ensure this is safe even if enum comparison manages to get invoked  
before we've set a transaction snapshot, tweak GetLatestSnapshot to  
redirect to GetTransactionSnapshot instead of throwing error when  
FirstSnapshotSet is false.  The existing uses of GetLatestSnapshot (in  
ri_triggers.c) don't care since they couldn't be invoked except in a  
transaction that's already done some work --- but it seems just conceivable  
that this might not be true of enums, especially if we ever choose to use  
enums in system catalogs.  
  
Note that the comparable coding in enum_endpoint and enum_range_internal  
remains GetTransactionSnapshot; this is perhaps debatable, but if we  
changed it those functions would have to be marked volatile, which doesn't  
seem attractive.  
  
Back-patch to 9.1 where ALTER TYPE ADD VALUE was added.

Prevent CREATE TABLE LIKE/INHERITS from (mis) copying whole-row Vars.

If a CHECK constraint or index definition contained a whole-row Var (that  
is, "table.*"), an attempt to copy that definition via CREATE TABLE LIKE or  
table inheritance produced incorrect results: the copied Var still claimed  
to have the rowtype of the source table, rather than the created table.  
  
For the LIKE case, it seems reasonable to just throw error for this  
situation, since the point of LIKE is that the new table is not permanently  
coupled to the old, so there's no reason to assume its rowtype will stay  
compatible.  In the inheritance case, we should ideally allow such  
constraints, but doing so will require nontrivial refactoring of CREATE  
TABLE processing (because we'd need to know the OID of the new table's  
rowtype before we adjust inherited CHECK constraints).  In view of the lack  
of previous complaints, that doesn't seem worth the risk in a back-patched  
bug fix, so just make it throw error for the inheritance case as well.  
  
Along the way, replace change_varattnos_of_a_node() with a more robust  
function map_variable_attnos(), which is capable of being extended to  
handle insertion of ConvertRowtypeExpr whenever we get around to fixing  
the inheritance case nicely, and in the meantime it returns a failure  
indication to the caller so that a helpful message with some context can be  
thrown.  Also, this code will do the right thing with subselects (if we  
ever allow them in CHECK or indexes), and it range-checks varattnos before  
using them to index into the map array.  
  
Per report from Sergey Konoplev.  Back-patch to all supported branches.

The LISTEN/NOTIFY subsystem got confused if SimpleLruZeroPage failed,  
which would typically happen as a result of a write() failure while  
attempting to dump a dirty pg_notify page out of memory.  Subsequently,  
all attempts to send more NOTIFY messages would fail with messages like  
"Could not read from file "pg_notify/nnnn" at offset nnnnn: Success".

The callers of UtilityContainsQuery want it to return a non-utility Query  
if it returns anything at all.  However, since we made CREATE TABLE  
AS/SELECT INTO into a utility command instead of a variant of SELECT,  
a command like "EXPLAIN SELECT INTO" results in two nested utility  
statements.  So what we need UtilityContainsQuery to do is drill down  
to the bottom non-utility Query.  
  
I had thought of this possibility in setrefs.c, and fixed it there by  
looping around the UtilityContainsQuery call; but overlooked that the call  
sites in plancache.c have a similar issue.  In those cases it's  
notationally inconvenient to provide an external loop, so let's redefine  
UtilityContainsQuery as recursing down to a non-utility Query instead.

The original coding failed miserably for BLCKSZ of 4K or less, as reported  
by Josh Kupershmidt.  With the present design for text indexes, a given  
inner tuple could have up to 256 labels (requiring either 3K or 4K bytes  
depending on MAXALIGN), which means that we can't positively guarantee no  
failures for smaller blocksizes.  But we can at least make it behave sanely  
so long as there are few enough labels to fit on a page.  Considering that  
btree is also more prone to "index tuple too large" failures when BLCKSZ is  
small, it's not clear that we should expend more work than this on this  
case.

While pg_dump has included dependency information in archive-format output  
ever since 7.3, it never made any large effort to ensure that that  
information was actually useful.  In particular, in common situations where  
dependency chains include objects that aren't separately emitted in the  
dump, the dependencies shown for objects that were emitted would reference  
the dump IDs of these un-dumped objects, leaving no clue about which other  
objects the visible objects indirectly depend on.  So far, parallel  
pg_restore has managed to avoid tripping over this misfeature, but only  
by dint of some crude hacks like not trusting dependency information in  
the pre-data section of the archive.  
  
It seems prudent to do something about this before it rises up to bite us,  
so instead of emitting the "raw" dependencies of each dumped object,  
recursively search for its actual dependencies among the subset of objects  
that are being dumped.  
  
Back-patch to 9.2, since that code hasn't yet diverged materially from  
HEAD.  At some point we might need to back-patch further, but right now  
there are no known cases where this is actively necessary.  (The one known  
case, bug #6699, is fixed in a different way by my previous patch.)  Since  
this patch depends on 9.2 changes that made TOC entries be marked before  
output commences as to whether they'll be dumped, back-patching further  
would require additional surgery; and as of now there's no evidence that  
it's worth the risk.

Improve pg_dump's dependency-sorting logic to enforce section dump order.

As of 9.2, with the --section option, it is very important that the concept  
of "pre data", "data", and "post data" sections of the output be honored  
strictly; else a dump divided into separate sectional files might be  
unrestorable.  However, the dependency-sorting logic knew nothing of  
sections and would happily select output orderings that didn't fit that  
structure.  Doing so was mostly harmless before 9.2, but now we need to be  
sure it doesn't do that.  To fix, create dummy objects representing the  
section boundaries and add dependencies between them and all the normal  
objects.  (This might sound expensive but it seems to only add a percent or  
two to pg_dump's runtime.)  
  
This also fixes a problem introduced in 9.1 by the feature that allows  
incomplete GROUP BY lists when a primary key is given in GROUP BY.  
That means that views can depend on primary key constraints.  Previously,  
pg_dump would deal with that by simply emitting the primary key constraint  
before the view definition (and hence before the data section of the  
output).  That's bad enough for simple serial restores, where creating an  
index before the data is loaded works, but is undesirable for speed  
reasons.  But it could lead to outright failure of parallel restores, as  
seen in bug #6699 from Joe Van Dyk.  That happened because pg_restore would  
switch into parallel mode as soon as it reached the constraint, and then  
very possibly would try to emit the view definition before the primary key  
was committed (as a consequence of another bug that causes the view not to  
be correctly marked as depending on the constraint).  Adding the section  
boundary constraints forces the dependency-sorting code to break the view  
into separate table and rule declarations, allowing the rule, and hence the  
primary key constraint it depends on, to revert to their intended location  
in the post-data section.  This also somewhat accidentally works around the  
bogus-dependency-marking problem, because the rule will be correctly shown  
as depending on the constraint, so parallel pg_restore will now do the  
right thing.  (We will fix the bogus-dependency problem for real in a  
separate patch, but that patch is not easily back-portable to 9.1, so the  
fact that this patch is enough to dodge the only known symptom is  
fortunate.)  
  
Back-patch to 9.1, except for the hunk that adds verification that the  
finished archive TOC list is in correct section order; the place where  
it was convenient to add that doesn't exist in 9.1.

Repeated execution of an uncorrelated ARRAY_SUBLINK sub-select (which  
I think can only happen if the sub-select is embedded in a larger,  
correlated subquery) would leak memory for the duration of the query,  
due to not reclaiming the array generated in the previous execution.  
Per bug #6698 from Armando Miraglia.  Diagnosis and fix idea by Heikki,  
patch itself by me.  
  
This has been like this all along, so back-patch to all supported versions.

Because permissions are assigned to element types, not array types,  
complaining about permission denied on an array type would be  
misleading to users.  So adjust the reporting to refer to the element  
type instead.  
  
In order not to duplicate the required logic in two dozen places,  
refactor the permission denied reporting for types a bit.

This reverts commit 18fb9d8d21a28caddb72c7ffbdd7b96d52ff9724.  Per  
discussion, it does not seem like a good idea to allow committed changes to  
go un-checkpointed indefinitely, as could happen in a low-traffic server;  
that makes us entirely reliant on the WAL stream with no redundancy that  
might aid data recovery in case of disk failure.  
  
This re-introduces the original problem of hot-standby setups generating a  
small continuing stream of WAL traffic even when idle, but there are other  
ways to address that without compromising crash recovery, so we'll revisit  
that issue in a future release cycle.

Aside from adjusting the documentation to say that these are deprecated,  
we now report a warning (not an error) for use of GLOBAL, since it seems  
fairly likely that we might change that to request SQL-spec-compliant temp  
table behavior in the foreseeable future.  Although our handling of LOCAL  
is equally nonstandard, there is no evident interest in ever implementing  
SQL modules, and furthermore some other products interpret LOCAL as  
behaving the same way we do.  So no expectation of change and no warning  
for LOCAL; but it still seems a good idea to deprecate writing it.

Ensure pg_ctl behaves sanely when data directory is not specified.

Commit aaa6e1def292cdacb6b27088898793b1b879fedf introduced multiple hazards  
in the case where pg_ctl is executed with neither a -D switch nor any  
PGDATA environment variable.  It would dump core on machines which are  
unforgiving about printf("%s", NULL), or failing that possibly give a  
rather unhelpful complaint about being unable to execute "postgres -C",  
rather than the logically prior complaint about not being told where the  
data directory is.  
  
Edmund Horner's report suggests that there is another, Windows-specific  
hazard here, but I'm not the person to fix that; it would in any case only  
be significant when trying to use a config-only PGDATA pointer.

"pg_dump -Ft -f filename ..." got broken by my recent commit  
4317e0246c645f60c39e6572644cff1cb03b4c65, which I fear I only tested  
in the output-to-stdout variant.

getopt_long() allows abbreviating long options, so we might as well  
give the option the full name, and users can abbreviate it how they  
like.  
  
Do some general polishing of the --help output at the same time.

Prevent non-streaming replication connections from being selected sync slave

This prevents a pg_basebackup backup session that just does a base  
backup (no xlog involved at all) from becoming the synchronous slave  
and thus blocking all access while it runs.  
  
Also fixes the problem when a higher priority slave shows up it would  
become the sync standby before it has reached the STREAMING state, by  
making sure we can only switch to a walsender that's actually STREAMING.

To replace it, add -X/--xlog-method that allows the specification  
of fetch or stream.  
  
Do this to avoid unnecessary backwards-incompatiblity. Spotted and  
suggested by Peter Eisentraut.

Since the replication protocol deals with TimestampTz, we need to  
care for the floating point case as well in the frontend tools.

This provides a speedup of about 4X when NBuffers is large enough.  
There is also a useful reduction in sinval traffic, since we

DropRelFileNodeBuffers, DropDatabaseBuffers, FlushRelationBuffers, and  
FlushDatabaseBuffers have to scan the whole shared_buffers pool because  
we have no index structure that would find the target buffers any more  
efficiently than that.  This gets expensive with large NBuffers.  We can  
shave some cycles from these loops by prechecking to see if the current  
buffer is interesting before we acquire the buffer header lock.  
Ordinarily such a test would be unsafe, but in these cases it should be  
safe because we are already assuming that the caller holds a lock that  
prevents any new target pages from being loaded into the buffer pool  
concurrently.  Therefore, no buffer tag should be changing to a value of  
interest, only away from a value of interest.  So a false negative match  
is impossible, while a false positive is safe because we'll recheck after  
acquiring the buffer lock.  Initial testing says that this speeds these  
loops by a factor of 2X to 3X on common Intel hardware.  
  
Patch for DropRelFileNodeBuffers by Jeff Janes (based on an idea of  
Heikki's); extended to the remaining sequential scans by Tom Lane

Wake WALSender to reduce data loss at failover for async commit. WALSender now woken up after each background flush by WALwriter, avoiding multi-second replication delay for an all-async commit workload. Replication delay reduced from 7s with default settings to 200ms and often much less, allowing significantly reduced data loss at failover.

In lazy_scan_heap, we could issue bogus warnings about incorrect  
information in the visibility map, because we checked the visibility  
map bit before locking the heap page, creating a race condition.  Fix  
by rechecking the visibility map bit before we complain.  Rejigger  
some related logic so that we rely on the possibly-outdated  
all_visible_according_to_vm value as little as possible.  
  
In heap_multi_insert, it's not safe to clear the visibility map bit  
before beginning the critical section.  The visibility map is not  
crash-safe unless we treat clearing the bit as a critical operation.  
Specifically, if the transaction were to error out after we set the  
bit and before entering the critical section, we could end up writing  
the heap page to disk (with the bit cleared) and crashing before the  
visibility map page made it to disk.  That would be bad.  heap_insert  
has this correct, but somehow the order of operations got rearranged  
when heap_multi_insert was added.  
  
Also, add some more comments to visibilitymap_test, lazy_scan_heap,  
and IndexOnlyNext, expounding on concurrency issues.  
  
Per extensive code review by Andres Freund, and further review by Tom  
Lane, who also made the original report about the bogus warnings.

It failed to check for error return from xsltApplyStylesheet(), as reported  
by Peter Gagarinov.  (So far as I can tell, libxslt provides no convenient  
way to get a useful error message in failure cases.  There might be some  
inconvenient way, but considering that this code is deprecated it's hard to  
get enthusiastic about putting lots of work into it.  So I just made it say  
"failed to apply stylesheet", in line with the existing error checks.)  
  
While looking at the code I also noticed that the string returned by  
xsltSaveResultToString was never freed, resulting in a session-lifespan  
memory leak.  
  
Back-patch to all supported versions.

and die in event of a failure return.  It might be important for some  
future use-case, though, and in any case it quiets warnings from the  
clang static analyzer (as reported by Anna Zaks).

We allow non-superusers to create procedural languages (with restrictions)  
and range datatypes.  Previously, the automatically-created support  
functions for these objects ended up owned by the creating user.  This  
represents a rather considerable security hazard, because the owning user  
might be able to alter a support function's definition in such a way as to  
crash the server, inject trojan-horse SQL code, or even execute arbitrary  
C code directly.  It appears that right now the only actually exploitable  
problem is the infinite-recursion bug fixed in the previous patch for  
CVE-2012-2655.  However, it's not hard to imagine that future additions of  
more ALTER FUNCTION capability might unintentionally open up new hazards.  
To forestall future problems, cause these support functions to be owned by  
the bootstrap superuser, not the user creating the parent object.

It's not very sensible to set such attributes on a handler function;  
but if one were to do so, fmgr.c went into infinite recursion because  
it would call fmgr_security_definer instead of the handler function proper.  
There is no way for fmgr_security_definer to know that it ought to call the  
handler and not the original function referenced by the FmgrInfo's fn_oid,  
so it tries to do the latter, causing the whole process to start over  
again.  
  
Ordinarily such misconfiguration of a procedural language's handler could  
be written off as superuser error.  However, because we allow non-superuser  
database owners to create procedural languages and the handler for such a  
language becomes owned by the database owner, it is possible for a database  
owner to crash the backend, which ideally shouldn't be possible without  
superuser privileges.  In 9.2 and up we will adjust things so that the  
handler functions are always owned by superusers, but in existing branches  
this is a minor security fix.

We used to only allow offsets less than +/-13 hours, then it was +/14,  
then it was +/-15.  That's still not good enough though, as per today's bug  
report from Patric Bechtel.  This time I actually looked through the Olson  
timezone database to find the largest offsets used anywhere.  The winners  
are Asia/Manila, at -15:56:00 until 1844, and America/Metlakatla, at  
+15:13:42 until 1867.  So we'd better allow offsets less than +/-16 hours.  
  
Given the history, we are way overdue to have some greppable #define  
symbols controlling this, so make some ... and also remove an obsolete  
comment that didn't get fixed the last time.

First, the previous code failed to account for the fact that, during Hot  
Standby operation, the startup process takes AccessExclusiveLocks on  
relations without setting MyDatabaseId.  This resulted in fast path  
strong lock counts failing to be incremented with the startup process  
took locks, which in turn allowed conflicting lock requests to succeed  
when they should not have.  Report by Erik Rijkers, diagnosis by Heikki  
Linnakangas.  
  
Second, LockReleaseAll() failed to honor the allLocks and lockmethodid  
restrictions with respect to fast-path locks.  It's not clear to me  
whether this produces any user-visible breakage at the moment, but it's  
certainly wrong.  Rearrange order of operations in LockReleaseAll to fix.

Fix incorrect password transformation in contrib/pgcrypto's DES crypt().

Overly tight coding caused the password transformation loop to stop  
examining input once it had processed a byte equal to 0x80.  Thus, if the  
given password string contained such a byte (which is possible though not  
highly likely in UTF8, and perhaps also in other non-ASCII encodings), all  
subsequent characters would not contribute to the hash, making the password  
much weaker than it appears on the surface.  
  
This would only affect cases where applications used DES crypt() to encode  
passwords before storing them in the database.  If a weak password has been  
created in this fashion, the hash will stop matching after this update has  
been applied, so it will be easy to tell if any passwords were unexpectedly  
weak.  Changing to a different password would be a good idea in such a case.  
(Since DES has been considered inadequately secure for some time, changing  
to a different encryption algorithm can also be recommended.)  
  
This code, and the bug, are shared with at least PHP, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD.  
Since the other projects have already published their fixes, there is no  
point in trying to keep this commit private.  
  
This bug has been assigned CVE-2012-2143, and credit for its discovery goes  
to Rubin Xu and Joseph Bonneau.

We used to mimic the way a stack is constructed when descending the tree  
during normal GiST inserts, but that was quite complicated during a buffered  
build. It was also wrong: in GiST, the left-to-right relationships on  
different levels might not match each other, so that when you know the  
parent of a child page, you won't necessarily find the parent of the page to  
the right of the child page by following the rightlinks at the parent level.  
This sometimes led to "could not re-find parent" errors while building a  
GiST index.  
  
We now use a simple hash table to track the parent of every internal page.  
Whenever a page is split, and downlinks are moved from one page to another,  
we update the hash table accordingly. This is also better for performance  
than the old method, as we never need to move right to re-find the parent  
page, which could take a significant amount of time for buffers that were  
created much earlier in the index build.

Rewrite --section option to decouple it from --schema-only/--data-only.

The initial implementation of pg_dump's --section option supposed that the  
existing --schema-only and --data-only options could be made equivalent to  
--section settings.  This is wrong, though, due to dubious but long since  
set-in-stone decisions about where to dump SEQUENCE SET items, as seen in  
bug report from Martin Pitt.  (And I'm not totally convinced there weren't  
other bugs, either.)  Undo that coupling and instead drive --section  
filtering off current-section state tracked as we scan through the TOC  
list to call _tocEntryRequired().  
  
To make sure those decisions don't shift around and hopefully save a few  
cycles, run _tocEntryRequired() only once per TOC entry and save the result  
in a new TOC field.  This required minor rejiggering of ACL handling but  
also allows a far cleaner implementation of inhibit_data_for_failed_table.  
  
Also, to ensure that pg_dump and pg_restore have the same behavior with  
respect to the --section switches, add _tocEntryRequired() filtering to  
WriteToc() and WriteDataChunks(), rather than trying to implement section  
filtering in an entirely orthogonal way in dumpDumpableObject().  This  
required adjusting the handling of the special ENCODING and STDSTRINGS  
items, but they were pretty weird before anyway.  
  
Minor other code review for the patch, too.

AbortOutOfAnyTransaction failed to do anything if the state it saw on  
entry corresponded to failing partway through StartTransaction.  I fixed  
AbortCurrentTransaction to cope with that case way back in commit

AbortOutOfAnyTransaction should do likewise.

This patch fixes three places (which AFAICT is all of them) where runtime  
was O(N^2) in the number of TOC entries, by using an index array to replace  
linear searches of the TOC list.  This performance issue is a bit less bad  
than those recently fixed, because it depends on the number of items dumped  
not the number in the source database, so the problem can be dodged by  
doing partial dumps.  
  
The previous coding already had an instance of one of the two index arrays  
needed, but it was only calculated in parallel-restore cases; now we need  
it all the time.  I also chose to move the arrays into the ArchiveHandle  
data structure, to make this code a bit more ready for the day that we  
try to sling multiple ArchiveHandles around in pg_dump or pg_restore.  
  
Since we still need some server-side work before pg_dump can really cope  
nicely with tens of thousands of tables, there's probably little point in  
back-patching.

percent-encoding now.  
  
Allow omitting username, password, and port even if the corresponding  
designators are present in URI.  
  
Handle percent-encoding in query parameter keywords.

The only interesting-for-performance case wherein we force heapscan here  
is when we're rebuilding the relcache init file, and the only such case  
that is likely to be examining a catalog big enough to be syncscanned is  
RelationBuildTupleDesc.  But the early-exit optimization in that code gets  
broken if we start the scan at a random place within the catalog, so that  
allowing syncscan is actually a big deoptimization if pg_attribute is large  
(at least for the normal case where the rows for core system catalogs have  
never been changed since initdb).  Hence, prevent syncscan here.  Per my  
testing pursuant to complaints from Jeff Frost and Greg Sabino Mullane,  
though neither of them seem to have actually hit this specific problem.  
  
Back-patch to 8.3, where syncscan was introduced.

The previous coding presented a significant bottleneck when dumping  
databases containing many thousands of schemas, since the total time  
spent searching would increase roughly as O(N^2) in the number of objects.

When backing up from a standby server, the backup process  
will not automatically switch xlog segment. So we must  
accept a partially transferred xlog file in this case, but  
rename it into position anyway.  
  
In passing, merge the two callbacks for segment end and  
stop stream into a single callback, since their implementations  
were close to identical, and rename this callback to  
reflect that it stops streaming rather than continues it.

zaptreesubs() was coded to unconditionally reset a capture subre's  
corresponding pmatch[] entry.  However, in regexes without backrefs, that  
array is caller-supplied and might not have as many entries as the regex  
has capturing parens.  So check the array length and do nothing if there  
is no corresponding entry, much as subset() does.  Failure to check this  
resulted in a stack clobber in the case reported by Marko Kreen.  
  
This bug appears to have been latent in the regex library from the  
beginning.  It was not exposed because find() called dissect() not  
cdissect(), and the dissect() code path didn't ever call zaptreesubs()  
(formerly zapmem()).  When I unified dissect() and cdissect() in commit  
4dd78bf37aa29d04b3f358b08c4a2fa43cf828e7, the problem was exposed.  
  
Now that I've seen this, I'm rather suspicious that we might need to  
back-patch it; but will refrain for now, for lack of evidence that  
the case can be hit in the previous coding.

If a seqscan encounters many consecutive pages containing only dead tuples,  
it can remain in the loop in heapgettup for a long time, and there was no  
CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS anywhere in that loop.  This meant there were  
real-world situations where a query would be effectively uncancelable for  
long stretches.  Add a check placed to occur once per page, which should be  
enough to provide reasonable response time without adding any measurable  
overhead.

When the column name is an unqualified name, rather than table.column,  
the error message complains about too many dotted names, which is  
wrong.  Report by Peter Eisentraut based on examination of the  
sepgsql regression test output, but the problem also affects COMMENT.  
New wording as suggested by Tom Lane.

There is no reason to do this as early as possible in postmaster startup,  
and good reason not to do it until we have completely created the  
postmaster's lock file, namely that it might contribute to pg_ctl thinking  
that postmaster startup has timed out.  (This would require a rather  
unusual amount of time to be spent scanning temp file directories, but we  
have at least one field report of it happening reproducibly.)  
  
Back-patch to 9.1.  Before that, pg_ctl didn't wait for additional info to  
be added to the lock file, so it wasn't a problem.  
  
Note that this is not a complete fix to the slow-start issue in 9.1,  
because we still had identify_system_timezone being run during postmaster  
start in 9.1.  But that's at least a reasonably well-defined delay, with  
an easy workaround if needed, whereas the temp-files scan is not so  
predictable and cannot be avoided.

Per discussion, we should explain that we follow RFC 3339 and not really  
the letter of the ISO 8601 spec for timestamp output format.  Mostly  
Brendan Jurd's wording, though I tweaked it to clarify that we do take 'T'  
on input.  Minor additional copy-editing and markup-tweaking, too.

When we create a temporary copy of the old node buffer, in stack, we mustn't  
leak that into any of the long-lived data structures. Before this patch,  
when we called gistPopItupFromNodeBuffer(), it got added to the array of  
"loaded buffers". After gistRelocateBuildBuffersOnSplit() exits, the  
pointer added to the loaded buffers array points to garbage. Often that goes  
unnotied, because when we go through the array of loaded buffers to unload  
them, buffers with a NULL pageBuffer are ignored, which can often happen by  
accident even if the pointer points to garbage.  
  
This patch fixes that by marking the temporary copy in stack explicitly as  
temporary, and refrain from adding buffers marked as temporary to the array  
of loaded buffers.  
  
While we're at it, initialize nodeBuffer->pageBlocknum to InvalidBlockNumber  
and improve comments a bit. This isn't strictly necessary, but makes  
debugging easier.

We have no need for a timeout here really, but some broken products from  
Redmond seem to lose FD_READ events occasionally, and waking up and  
retrying the recv() is the only known way to work around that.  Perhaps  
somebody will be motivated to figure out a better answer here; but not I.

Since we have chosen to report socket EOF and error conditions via the  
WL_SOCKET_READABLE flag bit, it's unsafe to wait only for  
WL_SOCKET_WRITEABLE; the caller would never be notified of the socket  
condition, and in some of these implementations WaitLatchOrSocket would  
busy-wait until something else happens.  Add this restriction to the API  
specification, and add Asserts to check that callers don't try to do that.  
  
At some point we might want to consider adjusting the API to relax this  
restriction, but until we have an actual use case for waiting on a  
write-only socket, it seems premature to design a solution.

Test results from buildfarm members mastodon/narwhal (Windows Server 2003)  
make it look like that platform just plain loses FD_READ events  
occasionally, and the only reason our previous coding seemed to work was  
that it timed out every couple of seconds and retried the whole operation.  
Try to verify this by reinserting a finite timeout into the pgstat loop.  
This isn't meant to be a permanent patch either, just to confirm or  
disprove a theory.

This should get rid of the usage of pgwin32_waitforsinglesocket entirely,  
and perhaps thereby remove the race condition that's evidently still  
present on some versions of Windows.  The previous arrangement was a bit  
unsafe anyway, since waiting at the recv() would not allow pgstat to notice  
postmaster death.

When the "hot" members of PGPROC were split off to separate PGXACT structs,  
many PGPROC fields referred to in comments were moved to PGXACT, but the  
comments were neglected in the commit. Mostly this is just a search/replace  
of PGPROC with PGXACT, but the way the dummy PGPROC entries are created for  
prepared transactions changed more, making some of the comments totally  
bogus.

If the tablespace directory is missing entirely, we allow DROP TABLESPACE  
to go through, on the grounds that it should be possible to clean up the  
catalog entry in such a situation.  However, we forgot that the pg_tblspc  
symlink might still be there.  We should try to remove the symlink too  
(but not fail if it's no longer there), since not doing so can lead to  
weird behavior subsequently, as per report from Michael Nolan.  
  
There was some discussion of adding dependency links to prevent DROP  
TABLESPACE when the catalogs still contain references to the tablespace.  
That might be worth doing too, but it's an orthogonal question, and in  
any case wouldn't be back-patchable.  
  
Back-patch to 9.0, which is as far back as the logic looks like this.  
We could possibly do something similar in 8.x, but given the lack of  
reports I'm not sure it's worth the trouble, and anyway the case could  
not arise in the form the logic is meant to cover (namely, a post-DROP  
transaction rollback having resurrected the pg_tablespace entry after  
some or all of the filesystem infrastructure is gone).

Make sure WaitLatchOrSocket regards FD_CLOSE as a read-ready condition.  
We might want to tweak this further, but it was surely wrong as-is.  
  
Make pgwin32_waitforsinglesocket detach its private event object from the  
passed socket before returning.  I suspect that failure to do so leads  
to race conditions when other code (such as WaitLatchOrSocket) attaches  
a different event object to the same socket.  Moreover, the existing  
coding meant that repeated calls to pgwin32_waitforsinglesocket would  
perform ResetEvent on an event actively connected to a socket, which  
is rumored to be an unsafe practice; the WSAEventSelect documentation  
appears to recommend against this, though it does not say not to do it  
in so many words.  
  
Also, uniformly use the coding pattern "WSAEventSelect(s, NULL, 0)" to  
detach events from sockets, rather than passing the event in the second  
parameter.  The WSAEventSelect documentation says that the second parameter  
is ignored if the third is 0, so theoretically this should make no  
difference.  However, elsewhere on the same reference page the use of NULL  
in this context is recommended, and I have found suggestions on the net  
that some versions of Windows have bugs with a non-NULL second parameter  
in this usage.  
  
Some other mostly-cosmetic cleanup, such as using the right one of  
WSAGetLastError and GetLastError for reporting errors from these functions.

syslogger was coded to wake up once per second whether there was anything  
useful to do or not.  As part of our campaign to reduce the server's idle  
power consumption, change it to use a latch for waiting.  Now, in the  
absence of any data to log or any signals to service, it will only wake up  
at the programmed logfile rotation times (if any).

When using poll(), EOF on a socket is reported with the POLLHUP not  
POLLIN flag (at least on Linux).  WaitLatchOrSocket failed to check  
this bit, causing it to go into a busy-wait loop if EOF occurs.  
We earlier fixed the same mistake in the test for the state of the  
postmaster_alive socket, but missed it for the caller-supplied socket.  
Fortunately, this error is new in 9.2, since 9.1 only had a select()  
based code path not a poll() based one.

This example was quite old: it lacked the WAL writer and autovac launcher  
as well as the more recently added checkpointer.  Linux "ps" seems to show  
slightly different stuff now too.

The string representation of ImportError changed.  Remove printing  
that; it's not necessary for the test.  
  
The order in which members of a dict are printed changed.  But this  
was always implementation-dependent, so we have just been lucky for a  
long time.  Do the printing the hard way to ensure sorted order.

We previously recognized that citext wouldn't get marked as collatable  
during pg_upgrade from a pre-9.1 installation, and hacked its  
create-from-unpackaged script to manually perform the necessary catalog  
adjustments.  However, we overlooked the fact that domains over citext,  
as well as the citext[] array type, need the same adjustments.  Extend  
the script to handle those cases.  
  
Also, the documentation suggested that this was only an issue in pg_upgrade  
scenarios, which is quite wrong; loading any dump containing citext from a  
pre-9.1 server will also result in the type being wrongly marked.  
  
I approached the documentation problem by changing the 9.1.2 release note  
paragraphs about this issue, which is historically inaccurate.  But it  
seems better than having the information scattered in multiple places, and  
leaving incorrect info in the 9.1.2 notes would be bad anyway.  We'll still  
need to mention the issue again in the 9.1.4 notes, but perhaps they can  
just reference 9.1.2 for fix instructions.  
  
Per report from Evan Carroll.  Back-patch into 9.1.

On GiST page split, release the locks on child pages before recursing up.

When inserting the downlinks for a split gist page, we used hold the locks  
on the child pages until the insertion into the parent - and recursively its  
parent if it had to be split too - were all completed. Change that so that  
the locks on child pages are released after the insertion in the immediate  
parent is done, before recursing further up the tree.  
  
This reduces the number of lwlocks that are held simultaneously. Holding  
many locks is bad for concurrency, and in extreme cases you can even hit  
the limit of 100 simultaneously held lwlocks in a backend. If you're really  
unlucky, you can hit the limit while in a critical section, which brings  
down the whole system.  
  
This fixes bug #6629 reported by Tom Forbes. Backpatch to 9.1. The page  
splitting code was rewritten in 9.1, and the old code did not have this  
problem.

This patch reverts commit 49340037ee3ab46cb24144a86705e35f272c24d5 and some  
follow-on tweaking in pgstat.c.  While the basic scheme of latch-ifying the  
stats collector seems sound enough, it's failing on most Windows buildfarm  
members for unknown reasons, and there's no time left to debug that before  
9.2beta1.  Better to ship a beta version without this improvement.  I hope  
to re-revert this once beta1 is out, though.

Per a suggestion from Peter Geoghegan, make WaitLatch responsible for  
verifying that the WL_POSTMASTER_DEATH bit it returns is truthful (by  
testing PostmasterIsAlive).  Then simplify its callers, who no longer  
need to do that for themselves.  Remove weasel wording about falsely-set  
result bits from WaitLatch's API contract.

The old way of implementing slicing support by implementing  
PySequenceMethods.sq_slice no longer works in Python 3.  You now have  
to implement PyMappingMethods.mp_subscript.  Do this by simply  
proxying the call to the wrapped list of result dictionaries.  
Consolidate some of the subscripting regression tests.

The original coding failed to reset ImmediateInterruptOK before returning,  
which would potentially allow a subsequent query-cancel interrupt to be  
accepted at an unsafe point.  This is a really nasty bug since it's so hard  
to predict the consequences, but they could be unpleasant.  
  
Also, ensure that signal handlers are serviced before this function  
returns, even if the semaphore is already set.  This should make the  
behavior more like Unix.

In checkpointer and walwriter, avoid calling PostmasterIsAlive unless  
WaitLatch has reported WL_POSTMASTER_DEATH.  This saves a kernel call per  
iteration of the process's outer loop, which is not all that much, but a  
cycle shaved is a cycle earned.  I had already removed the unconditional  
PostmasterIsAlive calls in bgwriter and pgstat in previous patches, but  
forgot that WL_POSTMASTER_DEATH is supposed to be treated as untrustworthy  
(per comment in unix_latch.c); so adjust those two cases to match.  
  
There are a few other places where the same idea might be applied, but only  
after substantial code rearrangement, so I didn't bother.

Commit 6d90eaaa89a007e0d365f49d6436f35d2392cfeb added a hibernation mode  
to the bgwriter to reduce the server's idle-power consumption.  However,  
its interaction with the detailed behavior of BgBufferSync's feedback  
control loop wasn't very well thought out.  That control loop depends  
primarily on the rate of buffer allocation, not the rate of buffer  
dirtying, so the hibernation mode has to be designed to operate only when  
no new buffer allocations are happening.  Also, the check for whether the  
system is effectively idle was not quite right and would fail to detect  
a constant low level of activity, thus allowing the bgwriter to go into  
hibernation mode in a way that would let the cycle time vary quite a bit,  
possibly further confusing the feedback loop.  To fix, move the wakeup  
support from MarkBufferDirty and SetBufferCommitInfoNeedsSave into  
StrategyGetBuffer, and prevent the bgwriter from entering hibernation mode  
unless no buffer allocations have happened recently.  
  
In addition, fix the delaying logic to remove the problem of possibly not  
responding to signals promptly, which was basically caused by trying to use  
the process latch's is_set flag for multiple purposes.  I can't prove it  
but I'm suspicious that that hack was responsible for the intermittent  
"postmaster does not shut down" failures we've been seeing in the buildfarm  
lately.  In any case it did nothing to improve the readability or  
robustness of the code.  
  
In passing, express the hibernation sleep time as a multiplier on  
BgWriterDelay, not a constant.  I'm not sure whether there's any value in  
exposing the longer sleep time as an independently configurable setting,  
but we can at least make it act like this for little extra code.

Every time since the current rule for postgres.bki was put in place  
when we change the major version, people complain that their tests  
fail in strange ways.  This is because the version number in  
postgres.bki is not updated, because it has no dependency for that.  
And you can't even force the rebuild manually if you don't happen to  
know which file has the problem.  Fix that now before it will happen  
again.  
  
The only remaining problem with switching major versions, as far as  
the regression tests are concerned, is that contrib needs to be  
rebuilt.  But that's easily invoked, and in any case the failure modes  
are more friendly if you forget that.

Users of asynchronous-commit mode expect there to be a guaranteed maximum  
delay before an async commit's WAL records get flushed to disk.  The  
original version of the walwriter hibernation patch broke that.  Add an  
extra shared-memory flag to allow async commits to kick the walwriter out  
of hibernation mode, without adding any noticeable overhead in cases where  
no action is needed.

Latch-ify the stats collector, so that it does not need an arbitrary wakeup  
cycle to check for postmaster death.  The incremental savings in idle power  
is pretty marginal, since we only had it waking every two seconds; but I  
believe that this patch may also improve the collector's performance under  
load, by reducing the number of kernel calls made per message when messages  
are arriving constantly (we now avoid a select/poll call except when we  
need to sleep).  The change also reduces the time needed for a normal  
database shutdown on platforms where signals don't interrupt select().

This patch modifies the walwriter process so that, when it has not found  
anything useful to do for many consecutive wakeup cycles, it extends its  
sleep time to reduce the server's idle power consumption.  It reverts to  
normal as soon as it's done any successful flushes.  It's still true that  
during any async commit, backends check for completed, unflushed pages of  
WAL and signal the walwriter if there are any; so that in practice the  
walwriter can get awakened and returned to normal operation sooner than the  
sleep time might suggest.  
  
Also, improve the checkpointer so that it uses a latch and a computed delay  
time to not wake up at all except when it has something to do, replacing a  
previous hardcoded 0.5 sec wakeup cycle.  This also is primarily useful for  
reducing the server's power consumption when idle.  
  
In passing, get rid of the dedicated latch for signaling the walwriter in  
favor of using its procLatch, since that comports better with possible  
generic signal handlers using that latch.  Also, fix a pre-existing bug  
with failure to save/restore errno in walwriter's signal handlers.

Fix dependency tracking for src/port/%_srv.o files

Because they use their own compilation rule, they don't use the  
dependency tracking logic from Makefile.global.  To make sure that  
dependency tracking works anyway for the *_srv.o files, depend on  
their *.o siblings as well, which do have proper dependencies.  It's a  
hack that might fail someday if there is a *_srv.o without a  
corresponding *.o, but it works for now (and those would probably go  
into src/backend/port/ anyway).

Fix pg_config.h make rule

According to the Autoconf documentation, there should be a make rule  
  
pg_config.h: stamp-h  
  
so that with the right setup around this, a change in pg_config.h.in  
will trigger a rebuild of everything that depends on pg_config.h.  But  
this doesn't always work, sometimes you need to run make twice to get  
everything up to date after a change of pg_config.h.in.  
  
The fix is to write the rule as  
  
pg_config.h: stamp-h ;  
  
instead (with an empty command instead of no command).  This is what  
Automake-generated makefiles effectively do, so it seems safe to be on  
this side.  
  
It's not actually clear why this is (apparently) more correct.  It's  
been posted to  
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-make/2012-04/msg00058.html>  
without response so far.

"Unexpected EOF on client connection" without an open transaction  
is mostly noise, so turn it into DEBUG1. With an open transaction it's  
still indicating a problem, so keep those as ERROR, and change the message  
to indicate that it happened in a transaction.

Commit 62c7bd31c8878dd45c9b9b2429ab7a12103f3590 had assorted problems, most  
visibly that it broke PREPARE TRANSACTION in the presence of session-level  
advisory locks (which should be ignored by PREPARE), as per a recent  
complaint from Stephen Rees.  More abstractly, the patch made the  
LockMethodData.transactional flag not merely useless but outright  
dangerous, because in point of fact that flag no longer tells you anything  
at all about whether a lock is held transactionally.  This fix therefore  
removes that flag altogether.  We now rely entirely on the convention  
already in use in lock.c that transactional lock holds must be owned by  
some ResourceOwner, while session holds are never so owned.  Setting the  
locallock struct's owner link to NULL thus denotes a session hold, and  
there is no redundant marker for that.  
  
PREPARE TRANSACTION now works again when there are session-level advisory  
locks, and it is also able to transfer transactional advisory locks to the  
prepared transaction, but for implementation reasons it throws an error if  
we hold both types of lock on a single lockable object.  Perhaps it will be  
worth improving that someday.  
  
Assorted other minor cleanup and documentation editing, as well.  
  
Back-patch to 9.1, except that in the 9.1 branch I did not remove the  
LockMethodData.transactional flag for fear of causing an ABI break for  
any external code that might be examining those structs.

The default for the choice attribute of the <arg> element is "opt",  
which would normally put the argument inside brackets.  But the DSSSL  
stylesheets contain a hack that treats <arg> directly inside <group>  
specially, so that <group><arg>-x</arg><arg>-y</arg></group> comes out  
as [ -x | -y ] rather than [ [-x] | [-y] ], which it would technically  
be.  But when building man pages, this doesn't work, and so the  
command synopses on the man pages contain lots of extra brackets.  
  
By putting choice="opt" or choice="plain" explicitly on every <arg>  
and <group> element, we avoid any toolchain dependencies like that,  
and it also makes it clearer in the source code what is meant.  
  
In passing, make some small corrections in the documentation about  
which arguments are really optional or not.

Allocate PLyResultObject.tupdesc in TopMemoryContext, because its  
lifetime is the lifetime of the Python object and it shouldn't be  
freed by some other memory context, such as one controlled by SPI.  We  
trust that the Python object will clean up its own memory.  
  
Before, this would crash the included regression test case by trying  
to use memory that was already freed.

At the time we check whether the tuple is dead to all running  
transactions, we've already verified that it isn't visible to our  
scan, setting hint bits if appropriate.  So there's no need to  
recheck CLOG for the all-dead test we do just a moment later.  
So, add HeapTupleIsSurelyDead() to test the appropriate condition  
under the assumption that all relevant hit bits are already set.

Converge all SQL-level statistics timing values to float8 milliseconds.

This patch adjusts the core statistics views to match the decision already  
taken for pg_stat_statements, that values representing elapsed time should  
be represented as float8 and measured in milliseconds.  By using float8,  
we are no longer tied to a specific maximum precision of timing data.  
(Internally, it's still microseconds, but we could now change that without  
needing changes at the SQL level.)  
  
The columns affected are  
pg_stat_bgwriter.checkpoint_write_time  
pg_stat_bgwriter.checkpoint_sync_time  
pg_stat_database.blk_read_time  
pg_stat_database.blk_write_time  
pg_stat_user_functions.total_time  
pg_stat_user_functions.self_time  
pg_stat_xact_user_functions.total_time  
pg_stat_xact_user_functions.self_time  
  
The first four of these are new in 9.2, so there is no compatibility issue  
from changing them.  The others require a release note comment that they  
are now double precision (and can show a fractional part) rather than  
bigint as before; also their underlying statistics functions now match  
the column definitions, instead of returning bigint microseconds.

Get rid of the per-column documentation of underlying functions, which did  
far more to clutter the view descriptions than it did to be helpful, and  
was rather incomplete and typo-ridden anyway.  Instead suggest that people  
consult the definitions of the standard views to see the underlying  
functions.  
  
The older functions for obtaining individual facts about backends are now  
somewhat obsoleted by pg_stat_get_activity, which means that they are not  
documented by any standard view.  So I put that information into a separate  
table.  (Maybe we should just deprecate them instead?)  
  
In passing, fix a couple more documentation errors.

Display total time and I/O timings in milliseconds, for consistency with  
the units used for timings in the core statistics views.  The columns  
remain of float8 type, so that sub-msec precision is available.  (At some  
point we will probably want to convert the core views to use float8 type  
for the same reason, but this patch does not touch that issue.)  
  
This is a release-note-requiring change in the meaning of the total_time  
column.  The I/O timing columns are new as of 9.2, so there is no  
compatibility impact from redefining them.

Fix printing of whole-row Vars at top level of a SELECT targetlist.

Normally whole-row Vars are printed as "tabname.*".  However, that does not  
work at top level of a targetlist, because per SQL standard the parser will  
think that the "*" should result in column-by-column expansion; which is  
not at all what a whole-row Var implies.  We used to just print the table  
name in such cases, which works most of the time; but it fails if the table  
name matches a column name available anywhere in the FROM clause.  This  
could lead for instance to a view being interpreted differently after dump  
and reload.  Adding parentheses doesn't fix it, but there is a reasonably  
simple kluge we can use instead: attach a no-op cast, so that the "*" isn't  
syntactically at top level anymore.  This makes the printing of such  
whole-row Vars a lot more consistent with other Vars, and may indeed fix  
more cases than just the reported one; I'm suspicious that cases involving  
schema qualification probably didn't work properly before, either.  
  
Per bug report and fix proposal from Abbas Butt, though this patch is quite  
different in detail from his.  
  
Back-patch to all supported versions.

If it fails to open a new log file, the syslogger assumes there's something  
wrong with its parameters (such as log_directory), and stops attempting  
automatic time-based or size-based log file rotations.  Sending it SIGHUP  
is supposed to start that up again.  However, the original coding for that  
was really bogus, involving clobbering a couple of GUC variables and hoping  
that SIGHUP processing would restore them.  Get rid of that technique in  
favor of maintaining a separate flag showing we've turned rotation off.  
Per report from Mark Kirkwood.  
  
Also, the syslogger will automatically attempt to create the log_directory  
directory if it doesn't exist, but that was only happening at startup.  
For consistency and ease of use, it should do the same whenever the value  
of log_directory is changed by SIGHUP.

The alternative of disallowing index-only scans in HS operation was  
discussed, but the consensus was that it was better to treat marking  
a page all-visible as a recovery conflict for snapshots that could still  
fail to see XIDs on that page.  We may in the future try to soften this,  
so that we simply force index scans to do heap fetches in cases where  
this may be an issue, rather than throwing a hard conflict.

PL/Python: Accept strings in functions returning composite types

Before 9.1, PL/Python functions returning composite types could return  
a string and it would be parsed using record_in.  The 9.1 changes made  
PL/Python only expect dictionaries, tuples, or objects supporting  
getattr as output of composite functions, resulting in a regression  
and a confusing error message, as the strings were interpreted as  
sequences and the code for transforming lists to database tuples was  
used.  Fix this by treating strings separately as before, before  
checking for the other types.  
  
The reason why it's important to support string to database tuple  
conversion is that trigger functions on tables with composite columns  
get the composite row passed in as a string (from record_out).  
Without supporting converting this back using record_in, this makes it  
impossible to implement pass-through behavior for these columns, as  
PL/Python no longer accepts strings for composite values.  
  
A better solution would be to fix the code that transforms composite  
inputs into Python objects to produce dictionaries that would then be  
correctly interpreted by the Python->PostgreSQL counterpart code.  But  
that would be too invasive to backpatch to 9.1, and it is too late in  
the 9.2 cycle to attempt it.  It should be revisited in the future,  
though.

We have been seeing intermittent buildfarm failures due to a query  
sometimes not using an index-only scan plan, because a background  
auto-ANALYZE prevented the table's all-visible bits from being set  
immediately, thereby causing the estimated cost of an index-only scan  
to go up considerably.  Adjust the test case so that a bitmap index scan is  
preferred instead, which serves equally well for the purpose the test case  
is actually meant for.  (Of course, it would be better to eliminate the  
interference from auto-ANALYZE, but I see no low-risk way to do that,  
so any such fix will have to be left for 9.3 or later.)

setrefs.c failed to do "rtoffset" adjustment of Vars in RETURNING lists,  
which meant they were left with the wrong varnos when the RETURNING list  
was in a subquery.  That was never possible before writable CTEs, of  
course, but now it's broken.  The executor fails to notice any problem  
because ExecEvalVar just references the ecxt_scantuple for any normal  
varno; but EXPLAIN breaks when the varno is wrong, as illustrated in a  
recent complaint from Bartosz Dmytrak.  
  
Since the eventual rtoffset of the subquery is not known at the time  
we are preparing its plan node, the previous scheme of executing  
set_returning_clause_references() at that time cannot handle this  
adjustment.  Fortunately, it turns out that we don't really need to do it  
that way, because all the needed information is available during normal  
setrefs.c execution; we just have to dig it out of the ModifyTable node.  
So, do that, and get rid of the kluge of early setrefs processing of  
RETURNING lists.  (This is a little bit of a cheat in the case of inherited  
UPDATE/DELETE, because we are not passing a "root" struct that corresponds  
exactly to what the subplan was built with.  But that doesn't matter, and  
anyway this is less ugly than early setrefs processing was.)  
  
Back-patch to 9.1, where the problem became possible to hit.

Fix edge-case behavior of pg_next_dst_boundary().

Due to rather sloppy thinking (on my part, I'm afraid) about the  
appropriate behavior for boundary conditions, pg_next_dst_boundary() gave  
undefined, platform-dependent results when the input time is exactly the  
last recorded DST transition time for the specified time zone, as a result  
of fetching values one past the end of its data arrays.  
  
Change its specification to be that it always finds the next DST boundary  
*after* the input time, and adjust code to match that.  The sole existing  
caller, DetermineTimeZoneOffset, doesn't actually care about this  
distinction, since it always uses a probe time earlier than the instant  
that it does care about.  So it seemed best to me to change the API to make  
the result=1 and result=0 cases more consistent, specifically to ensure  
that the "before" outputs always describe the state at the given time,  
rather than hacking the code to obey the previous API comment exactly.  
  
Per bug #6605 from Sergey Burladyan.  Back-patch to all supported versions.

Rearrange lazy_scan_heap to avoid visibility map race conditions.

We must set the visibility map bit before releasing our exclusive lock  
on the heap page; otherwise, someone might clear the heap page bit  
before we set the visibility map bit, leading to a situation where the  
visibility map thinks the page is all-visible but it's really not.  
  
This problem has existed since 8.4, but it wasn't critical before we  
had index-only scans, since the worst case scenario was that the page  
wouldn't get vacuumed until the next scan_all vacuum.  
  
Along the way, a couple of minor, related improvements: (1) if we  
pause the heap scan to do an index vac cycle, release any visibility  
map page we're holding, since really long-running pins are not good  
for a variety of reasons; and (2) warn if we see a page that's marked  
all-visible in the visibility map but not on the page level, since  
that should never happen any more (it was allowed in previous  
releases, but not in 9.2).

The original syntax wasn't universally loved, and it didn't allow its  
usage in CREATE TABLE, only ALTER TABLE.  It now works everywhere, and  
it also allows using ALTER TABLE ONLY to add an uninherited CHECK  
constraint, per discussion.  
  
The pg_constraint column has accordingly been renamed connoinherit.  
  
This commit partly reverts some of the changes in  
61d81bd28dbec65a6b144e0cd3d0bfe25913c3ac, particularly some pg_dump and  
psql bits, because now pg_get_constraintdef includes the necessary NO  
INHERIT within the constraint definition.

For an initial relation that lacks any join clauses (that is, it has to be  
cartesian-product-joined to the rest of the query), we considered only  
cartesian joins with initial rels appearing later in the initial-relations  
list.  This creates an undesirable dependency on FROM-list order.  We would  
never fail to find a plan, but perhaps we might not find the best available  
plan.  Noted while discussing the logic with Amit Kapila.  
  
Improve the comments a bit in this area, too.  
  
Arguably this is a bug fix, but given the lack of complaints from the  
field I'll refrain from back-patching.

This patch adjusts the treatment of parameterized paths so that all paths  
with the same parameterization (same set of required outer rels) for the  
same relation will have the same rowcount estimate.  We cache the rowcount  
estimates to ensure that property, and hopefully save a few cycles too.  
Doing this makes it practical for add_path_precheck to operate without  
a rowcount estimate: it need only assume that paths with different  
parameterizations never dominate each other, which is close enough to  
true anyway for coarse filtering, because normally a more-parameterized  
path should yield fewer rows thanks to having more join clauses to apply.  
  
In add_path, we do the full nine yards of comparing rowcount estimates  
along with everything else, so that we can discard parameterized paths that  
don't actually have an advantage.  This fixes some issues I'd found with  
add_path rejecting parameterized paths on the grounds that they were more  
expensive than not-parameterized ones, even though they yielded many fewer  
rows and hence would be cheaper once subsequent joining was considered.  
  
To make the same-rowcounts assumption valid, we have to require that any  
parameterized path enforce *all* join clauses that could be obtained from  
the particular set of outer rels, even if not all of them are useful for  
indexing.  This is required at both base scans and joins.  It's a good  
thing anyway since the net impact is that join quals are checked at the  
lowest practical level in the join tree.  Hence, discard the original  
rather ad-hoc mechanism for choosing parameterization joinquals, and build  
a better one that has a more principled rule for when clauses can be moved.  
The original rule was actually buggy anyway for lack of knowledge about  
which relations are part of an outer join's outer side; getting this right  
requires adding an outer_relids field to RestrictInfo.

The previous code could cause a backend crash after BEGIN; SAVEPOINT a;  
LOCK TABLE foo (interrupted by ^C or statement timeout); ROLLBACK TO  
SAVEPOINT a; LOCK TABLE foo, and might have leaked strong-lock counts

Previously, we used SetBufferCommitInfoNeedsSave, but that's really  
intended for dirty-marks we can theoretically afford to lose, such as  
hint bits.  As for 9.2, the PD_ALL_VISIBLE mustn't be lost in this  
way, since we could then end up with a heap page that isn't  
all-visible and a visibility map page that is all visible, causing  
index-only scans to return wrong answers.

When using synchronous replication, we waited for the commit record to be  
replicated, but if we our transaction didn't write any other WAL records,  
that's not required because we don't even flush the WAL locally to disk in

modified a temporary table. Bug spotted by Thom Brown.

So far as I can tell, it is no longer possible for this heuristic to do  
anything useful, because the new weaker definition of  
have_relevant_joinclause means that any relation with a joinclause must be  
considered joinable to at least one other relation.  It would still be  
possible for the code block to be entered, for example if there are join  
order restrictions that prevent any join of the current level from being  
formed; but in that case it's just a waste of cycles to attempt to form  
cartesian joins, since the restrictions will still apply.  
  
Furthermore, IMO the existence of this code path can mask bugs elsewhere;  
we would have noticed the problem with cartesian joins a lot sooner if  
this code hadn't compensated for it in the simplest case.  
  
Accordingly, let's remove it and see what happens.  I'm committing this  
separately from the prerequisite changes in have_relevant_joinclause,  
just to make the question easier to revisit if there is some fault in  
my logic.

We should be willing to cross-join two small relations if that allows us  
to use an inner indexscan on a large relation (that is, the potential  
indexqual for the large table requires both smaller relations).  This  
worked in simple cases but fell apart as soon as there was a join clause  
to a fourth relation, because the existence of any two-relation join clause  
caused the planner to not consider clauseless joins between other base  
relations.  The added regression test shows an example case adapted from  
a recent complaint from Benoit Delbosc.  
  
Adjust have_relevant_joinclause, have_relevant_eclass_joinclause, and  
has_relevant_eclass_joinclause to consider that a join clause mentioning  
three or more relations is sufficient grounds for joining any subset of  
those relations, even if we have to do so via a cartesian join.  Since such  
clauses are relatively uncommon, this shouldn't affect planning speed on  
typical queries; in fact it should help a bit, because the latter two  
functions in particular get significantly simpler.  
  
Although this is arguably a bug fix, I'm not going to risk back-patching  
it, since it might have currently-unforeseen consequences.

Per mailing list discussion, we would like to keep the bytea functions  
parallel to the text functions, so rename bytea_agg to string_agg,  
which already exists for text.  
  
Also, to satisfy the rule that we don't want aggregate functions of  
the same name with a different number of arguments, add a delimiter  
argument, just like string_agg for text already has.

Fix cost estimation for indexscan filter conditions.

cost_index's method for estimating per-tuple costs of evaluating filter  
conditions (a/k/a qpquals) was completely wrong in the presence of derived  
indexable conditions, such as range conditions derived from a LIKE clause.  
This was largely masked in common cases as a result of all simple operator  
clauses having about the same costs, but it could show up in a big way when  
dealing with functional indexes containing expensive functions, as seen for  
example in bug #6579 from Istvan Endredy.  Rejigger the calculation to give  
sane answers when the indexquals aren't a subset of the baserestrictinfo  
list.  As a side benefit, we now do the calculation properly for cases  
involving join clauses (ie, parameterized indexscans), which we always  
overestimated before.  
  
There are still cases where this is an oversimplification, such as clauses  
that can be dropped because they are implied by a partial index's  
predicate.  But we've never accounted for that in cost estimates before,  
and I'm not convinced it's worth the cycles to try to do so.

Previously we attempted to throw an error or at least warning for missing  
schemas, but this was done inconsistently because of implementation  
restrictions (in many cases, GUC settings are applied outside transactions  
so that we can't do system catalog lookups).  Furthermore, there were  
exceptions to the rule even in the beginning, and we'd been poking more  
and more holes in it as time went on, because it turns out that there are  
lots of use-cases for having some irrelevant items in a common search_path  
value.  It seems better to just adopt a philosophy similar to what's always  
been done with Unix PATH settings, wherein nonexistent or unreadable  
directories are silently ignored.  
  
This commit also fixes the documentation to point out that schemas for  
which the user lacks USAGE privilege are silently ignored.  That's always  
been true but was previously not documented.  
  
This is mostly in response to Robert Haas' complaint that 9.1 started to  
throw errors or warnings for missing schemas in cases where prior releases  
had not.  We won't adopt such a significant behavioral change in a back  
branch, so something different will be needed in 9.1.

postgres:// URIs are an attempt to "stop the bleeding" in this general  
area that has been said to occur due to external projects adopting their  
own syntaxes.  The syntaxes supported by this patch:  
  
 postgres://[user[:pwd]@][unix-socket][:port[/dbname]][?param1=value1&...]  
 postgres://[user[:pwd]@][net-location][:port][/dbname][?param1=value1&...]  
  
should be enough to cover most interesting cases without having to  
resort to "param=value" pairs, but those are provided for the cases that  
need them regardless.  
  
libpq documentation has been shuffled around a bit, to avoid stuffing  
all the format details into the PQconnectdbParams description, which was  
already a bit overwhelming.  The list of keywords has moved to its own  
subsection, and the details on the URI format live in another subsection.  
  
This includes a simple test program, as requested in discussion, to  
ensure that interesting corner cases continue to work appropriately in  
the future.

This patch reverts commit 191ef2b407f065544ceed5700e42400857d9270f  
and thereby restores the pre-7.3 behavior of EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM  
timestamp-without-tz).  Per discussion, the more recent behavior was  
misguided on a couple of grounds: it makes it hard to get a  
non-timezone-aware epoch value for a timestamp, and it makes this one  
case dependent on the value of the timezone GUC, which is incompatible  
with having timestamp_part() labeled as immutable.  
  
The other behavior is still available (in all releases) by explicitly  
casting the timestamp to timestamp with time zone before applying EXTRACT.  
  
This will need to be called out as an incompatible change in the 9.2  
release notes.  Although having mutable behavior in a function marked  
immutable is clearly a bug, we're not going to back-patch such a change.

There's no need to sit there and increment the stats when we know all the  
increments would be zero anyway.  The actual additions might not be very  
expensive, but skipping acquisition of the spinlock seems like a good  
thing.  Pushing the logic about initialization of the usage count down into  
entry_alloc() allows us to do that while making the code actually simpler,  
not more complex.  Expansion on a suggestion by Peter Geoghegan.

This patch addresses a deficiency in the previous pg_stat_statements patch.  
We want to give sticky entries an initial "usage" factor high enough that  
they probably will stick around until their query is completed.  However,  
if the query never completes (eg it gets an error during execution), the  
entry shouldn't persist indefinitely.  Manage this by starting out with  
a usage setting equal to the (approximate) median usage value within the  
whole hashtable, but decaying the value much more aggressively than we  
do for normal entries.

We used to only initialize the stack base pointer when starting up a regular  
backend, not in other processes. In particular, autovacuum workers can run  
arbitrary user code, and without stack-depth checking, infinite recursion  
in e.g an index expression will bring down the whole cluster.  
  
The comment about PL/Java using set_stack_base() is not yet true. As the  
code stands, PL/java still modifies the stack_base_ptr variable directly.  
However, it's been discussed in the PL/Java mailing list that it should be  
changed to use the function, because PL/Java is currently oblivious to the  
register stack used on Itanium. There's another issues with PL/Java, namely  
that the stack base pointer it sets is not really the base of the stack, it  
could be something close to the bottom of the stack. That's a separate issue  
that might need some further changes to this code, but that's a different  
story.
