Commit 3eefc51053f250837c3115c12f8119d16881a2d7 claimed to make  
pg_user_mappings enforce the qualifications user_mapping_options had  
been enforcing, but its removal of a longstanding restriction left them  
distinct when the current user is the subject of a mapping yet has no  
server privileges.  user_mapping_options emits no rows for such a  
mapping, but pg_user_mappings includes full umoptions.  Change  
pg_user_mappings to show null for umoptions.  Back-patch to 9.2, like  
the above commit.

Some authentication methods allowed it, others did not. In the client-side,  
libpq does not even try to authenticate with an empty password, which makes  
using empty passwords hazardous: an administrator might think that an  
account with an empty password cannot be used to log in, because psql  
doesn't allow it, and not realize that a different client would in fact  
allow it. To clear that confusion and to be be consistent, disallow empty  
passwords in all authentication methods.  
  
All the authentication methods that used plaintext authentication over the  
wire, except for BSD authentication, already checked that the password  
received from the user was not empty. To avoid forgetting it in the future  
again, move the check to the recv_password_packet function. That only  
forbids using an empty password with plaintext authentication, however.  
MD5 and SCRAM need a different fix:  
  
* In stable branches, check that the MD5 hash stored for the user does not  
not correspond to an empty string. This adds some overhead to MD5  
authentication, because the server needs to compute an extra MD5 hash, but  
it is not noticeable in practice.  
  
* In HEAD, modify CREATE and ALTER ROLE to clear the password if an empty  
string, or a password hash that corresponds to an empty string, is  
specified. The user-visible behavior is the same as in the stable branches,  
the user cannot log in, but it seems better to stop the empty password from  
entering the system in the first place. Secondly, it is fairly expensive to  
check that a SCRAM hash doesn't correspond to an empty string, because  
computing a SCRAM hash is much more expensive than an MD5 hash by design,  
so better avoid doing that on every authentication.  
  
We could clear the password on CREATE/ALTER ROLE also in stable branches,  
but we would still need to check at authentication time, because even if we  
prevent empty passwords from being stored in pg_authid, there might be  
existing ones there already.

Disallow SSL session tickets.

We don't actually support session tickets, since we do not create an SSL  
session identifier.  But it seems that OpenSSL will issue a session ticket  
on-demand anyway, which will then fail when used.  This results in  
reconnection failures when using ticket-aware client-side SSL libraries  
(such as the Npgsql .NET driver), as reported by Shay Rojansky.  
  
To fix, just tell OpenSSL not to issue tickets.  At some point in the  
far future, we might consider enabling tickets instead.  But the security  
implications of that aren't entirely clear; and besides it would have  
little benefit except for very short-lived database connections, which is  
Something We're Bad At anyhow.  It would take a lot of other work to get  
to a point where that would really be an exciting thing to do.  
  
While at it, also tell OpenSSL not to use a session cache.  This doesn't  
really do anything, since a backend would never populate the cache anyway,  
but it might gain some micro-efficiencies and/or reduce security  
exposures.  
  
Patch by me, per discussion with Heikki Linnakangas and Shay Rojansky.  
Back-patch to all supported versions.

Fix pg_dump/pg_restore to emit REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW commands last.

Because we push all ACL (i.e. GRANT/REVOKE) restore steps to the end,  
materialized view refreshes were occurring while the permissions on  
referenced objects were still at defaults.  This led to failures if,  
say, an MV owned by user A reads from a table owned by user B, even  
if B had granted the necessary privileges to A.  We've had multiple  
complaints about that type of restore failure, most recently from  
Jordan Gigov.  
  
The ideal fix for this would be to start treating ACLs as dependency-  
sortable objects, rather than hard-wiring anything about their dump order  
(the existing approach is a messy kluge dating to commit dc0e76ca3).  
But that's going to be a rather major change, and it certainly wouldn't  
lead to a back-patchable fix.  As a short-term solution, convert the  
existing two-pass hack (ie, normal objects then ACLs) to a three-pass hack,  
ie, normal objects then ACLs then matview refreshes.  Because this happens  
in RestoreArchive(), it will also fix the problem when restoring from an  
existing archive-format dump.  
  
(Note this means that if a matview refresh would have failed under the  
permissions prevailing at dump time, it'll fail during restore as well.  
We'll define that as user error rather than something we should try  
to work around.)  
  
To avoid performance loss in parallel restore, we need the matview  
refreshes to still be parallelizable.  Hence, clean things up enough  
so that both ACLs and matviews are handled by the parallel restore  
infrastructure, instead of reverting back to serial restore for ACLs.  
There is still a final serial step, but it shouldn't normally have to  
do anything; it's only there to try to recover if we get stuck due to  
some problem like unresolved circular dependencies.  
  
Patch by me, but it owes something to an earlier attempt by Kevin Grittner.  
Back-patch to 9.3 where materialized views were introduced.

FlightAware is still maintaining this, and indeed is seemingly being  
more active with it than the pgtclng fork is.  List both, for the  
time being anyway.  
  
In the back branches, also back-port commit e20f679f6 and other  
recent updates to the client-interfaces list.  I think these are  
probably of current interest to users of back branches.  I did  
not touch the list of externally maintained PLs in the back  
branches, though.  Those are much more likely to be server version  
sensitive, and I don't know which of these PLs work all the way back.

Previously the docs just said "5.8 or later".  Experimentation shows  
that while you can build on Unix from a git checkout with 5.8.0,  
compiling recent PL/Perl requires at least 5.8.1, and you won't be  
able to run the TAP tests with less than 5.8.3 because that's when  
they added "prove".  (I do not have any information on just what the  
MSVC build scripts require.)  
  
Since all these versions are quite ancient, let's not split hairs  
in the docs, but just say that 5.8.3 is the minimum requirement.

Fix assorted places that had not bothered with the convention of  
prefixing catalog and function names with "pg_catalog.".  That  
could possibly result in query failure when running with a nondefault  
search_path.  Also fix two places that weren't quoting OID literals.  
I think the latter hasn't mattered much since about 7.3, but it's still  
a bad idea to be doing it in 99 places and not in 2 others.  
  
Also remove a useless EXISTS sub-select that someone had stuck into  
describeOneTableDetails' queries for child tables.  We just got the OID  
out of pg_class, so I hardly see how checking that it exists in pg_class  
was doing anything helpful.  
  
In passing, try to improve the emitted formatting of a couple of  
these queries, though I didn't work really hard on that.  And merge  
unnecessarily duplicative coding in some other places.  
  
Much of this was new in HEAD, but some was quite old; back-patch

If several sessions are concurrently locking a tuple update chain with  
nonconflicting lock modes using an old snapshot, and they all succeed,  
it may happen that some of them fail because of restarting the loop (due  
to a concurrent Xmax change) and getting an error in the subsequent pass  
while trying to obtain a tuple lock that they already have in some tuple  
version.  
  
This can only happen with very high concurrency (where a row is being

Fix race condition in predicate-lock init code in EXEC_BACKEND builds.

Trading a little too heavily on letting the code path be the same whether  
we were creating shared data structures or only attaching to them,  
InitPredicateLocks() inserted the "scratch" PredicateLockTargetHash entry  
unconditionally.  This is just wrong if we're in a postmaster child,  
which would only reach this code in EXEC_BACKEND builds.  Most of the  
time, the hash_search(HASH_ENTER) call would simply report that the  
entry already existed, causing no visible effect since the code did not  
bother to check for that possibility.  However, if this happened while  
some other backend had transiently removed the "scratch" entry, then  
that other backend's eventual RestoreScratchTarget would suffer an  
assert failure; this appears to be the explanation for a recent failure  
on buildfarm member culicidae.  In non-assert builds, there would be  
no visible consequences there either.  But nonetheless this is a pretty  
bad bug for EXEC_BACKEND builds, for two reasons:  
  
1. Each new backend would perform the hash_search(HASH_ENTER) call  
without holding any lock that would prevent concurrent access to the  
PredicateLockTargetHash hash table.  This creates a low but certainly  
nonzero risk of corruption of that hash table.  
  
2. In the event that the race condition occurred, by reinserting the  
scratch entry too soon, we were defeating the entire purpose of the  
scratch entry, namely to guarantee that transaction commit could move  
hash table entries around with no risk of out-of-memory failure.  
The odds of an actual OOM failure are quite low, but not zero, and if  
it did happen it would again result in corruption of the hash table.  
  
The user-visible symptoms of such corruption are a little hard to predict,  
but would presumably amount to misbehavior of SERIALIZABLE transactions  
that'd require a crash or postmaster restart to fix.  
  
To fix, just skip the hash insertion if IsUnderPostmaster.  I also  
inserted a bunch of assertions that the expected things happen  
depending on whether IsUnderPostmaster is true.  That might be overkill,  
since most comparable code in other functions isn't quite that paranoid,  
but once burnt twice shy.  
  
In passing, also move a couple of lines to places where they seemed  
to make more sense.

Various cases involving renaming of view columns are handled by having  
make_viewdef pass down the view's current relation tupledesc to  
get_query_def, which then takes care to use the column names from the  
tupledesc for the output column names of the SELECT.  For some reason  
though, we'd missed teaching make_ruledef to do similarly when it is  
printing an ON SELECT rule, even though this is exactly the same case.  
The results from pg_get_ruledef would then be different and arguably wrong.  
In particular, this breaks pre-v10 versions of pg_dump, which in some  
situations would define views by means of emitting a CREATE RULE ... ON  
SELECT command.  Third-party tools might not be happy either.  
  
In passing, clean up some crufty code in make_viewdef; we'd apparently  
modernized the equivalent code in make_ruledef somewhere along the way,  
and missed this copy.

pg_dump with the --clean option failed to emit DROP EVENT TRIGGER  
commands for event triggers.  In a closely related oversight,  
it also did not emit ALTER OWNER commands for event triggers.  
Since only superusers can create event triggers, the latter oversight  
is of little practical consequence ... but if we're going to record  
an owner for event triggers, then surely pg_dump should preserve it.

Claiming that NATURAL JOIN is equivalent to CROSS JOIN when there are  
no common column names is only strictly correct if it's an inner join;  
you can't say e.g. CROSS LEFT JOIN.  Better to explain it as meaning  
JOIN ON TRUE, instead.  Per a suggestion from David Johnston.

Normally, a JoinExpr would have empty "quals" only if it came from CROSS  
JOIN syntax.  However, it's possible to get to this state by specifying  
NATURAL JOIN between two tables with no common column names, and there  
might be other ways too.  The code previously printed no ON clause if  
"quals" was empty; that's right for CROSS JOIN but syntactically invalid  
if it's some type of outer join.  Fix by printing ON TRUE in that case.  
  
This got broken by commit 2ffa740be, which stopped using NATURAL JOIN  
syntax in ruleutils output due to its brittleness in the face of  
column renamings.  Back-patch to 9.3 where that commit appeared.

It seems pretty confusing to have tests named both largeobject and  
large_object.  The latter is of very recent vintage (commit ff992c074),  
so get rid of it in favor of merging into the former.  
  
Also, enable the LO comment test that was added by commit 70ad7ed4e,  
since the later commit added the then-missing pg_upgrade functionality.  
The large_object.sql test case is almost completely redundant with that,  
but not quite: it seems like creating a user-defined LO with an OID in  
the system range might be an interesting case for pg_upgrade, so let's  
keep it.

The grammar will only accept something syntactically similar to a function  
call in a function-in-FROM expression.  However, there are various ways  
to input something that ruleutils.c won't deparse that way, potentially  
leading to a view or rule that fails dump/reload.  Fix by inserting a  
dummy CAST around anything that isn't going to deparse as a function  
(which is one of the ways to get something like that in there in the  
first place).  
  
In HEAD, also make use of the infrastructure added by this to avoid  
emitting unnecessary parentheses in CREATE INDEX deparsing.  I did  
not change that in back branches, thinking that people might find it  
to be unexpected/unnecessary behavioral change.  
  
In HEAD, also fix incorrect logic for when to add extra parens to  
partition key expressions.  Somebody apparently thought they could  
get away with simpler logic than pg_get_indexdef_worker has, but  
they were wrong --- a counterexample is PARTITION BY LIST ((a[1])).  
Ignoring the prettyprint flag for partition expressions isn't exactly

The race condition goes like this:  
  
1. GetNewTransactionId advances nextXid e.g. from 100 to 101  
2. GetOldestActiveTransactionId reads the new nextXid, 101  
3. GetOldestActiveTransactionId loops through the proc array. There are no  
   active XIDs there, so it returns 101 as the oldest active XID.  
4. GetNewTransactionid stores XID 100 to MyPgXact->xid  
  
So, GetOldestActiveTransactionId returned XID 101, even though 100 only  
just started and is surely still running.  
  
This would be hard to hit in practice, and even harder to spot any ill  
effect if it happens. GetOldestActiveTransactionId is only used when  
creating a checkpoint in a master server, and the race condition can only  
happen on an online checkpoint, as there are no backends running during a  
shutdown checkpoint. The oldestActiveXid value of an online checkpoint is  
only used when starting up a hot standby server, to determine the starting  
point where pg_subtrans is initialized from. For the race condition to  
happen, there must be no other XIDs in the proc array that would hold back  
the oldest-active XID value, which means that the missed XID must be a top  
transaction's XID. However, pg_subtrans is not used for top XIDs, so I  
believe an off-by-one error is in fact inconsequential. Nevertheless, let's  
fix it, as it's clearly wrong and the fix is simple.  
  
This has been wrong ever since hot standby was introduced, so backport to  
all supported versions.

Further investigation shows that ruleutils isn't quite up to speed either  
for cases where we have a domain-over-array: it needs to be prepared to  
look past a CoerceToDomain at the top level of field and element  
assignments, else it decompiles them incorrectly.  Potentially this would  
result in failure to dump/reload a rule, if it looked like the one in the  
new test case.  (I also added a test for EXPLAIN; that output isn't broken,  
but clearly we need more test coverage here.)

To fix, allocate a separate copy of just the lexemes that we keep around,  
and free the detoasted tsvector values as we go. This adds some palloc/pfree  
overhead, when you have a lot of distinct lexemes in the sample, but it's

to look through CoerceToDomain nodes, and add relevant test cases.  
  
Also add a group of test cases exercising domains over array of composite.  
It's doubtless accidental that CREATE DOMAIN allows this case while not  
allowing straight domain over composite; but it does, so we'd better make  
sure we don't break it.  (I could not find any documentation mentioning  
either side of that, so no doc changes.)  
  
It's been like this for a long time, so back-patch to all supported  
branches.

We've heard occasional reports of backend launch failing because  
pgwin32_ReserveSharedMemoryRegion() fails, indicating that something  
has already used that address space in the child process.  It's not  
very clear what, given that we disable ASLR in Windows builds, but  
suspicion falls on antivirus products.  It'd be better if we didn't  
have to disable ASLR, anyway.  So let's try to ameliorate the problem  
by retrying the process launch after such a failure, up to 100 times.  
  
Patch by me, based on previous work by Amit Kapila and others.  
This is a longstanding issue, so back-patch to all supported branches.

Buildfarm evidence shows that TCP_KEEPALIVE_THRESHOLD doesn't exist  
after all on Solaris < 11.  This means we need to take positive action to  
prevent the TCP_KEEPALIVE code path from being taken on that platform.  
I've chosen to limit it with "&& defined(__darwin__)", since it's unclear  
that anyone else would follow Apple's precedent of spelling the symbol  
that way.  
  
Also, follow a suggestion from Michael Paquier of eliminating code  
duplication by defining a couple of intermediate symbols for the  
socket option.  
  
In passing, make some effort to reduce the number of translatable messages  
by replacing "setsockopt(foo) failed" with "setsockopt(%s) failed", etc,  
throughout the affected files.  And update relevant documentation so  
that it doesn't claim to provide an exhaustive list of the possible  
socket option names.

Turns out that the socket option for this is named TCP_KEEPALIVE_THRESHOLD,  
at least according to the tcp(7P) man page for Solaris 11.  (But since that  
text refers to "SunOS", it's likely pretty ancient.)  It appears that the  
symbol TCP_KEEPALIVE does get defined on that platform, but it doesn't  
seem to represent a valid protocol-level socket option.  This leads to  
bleats in the postmaster log, and no tcp_keepalives_idle functionality.  
  
Per bug #14720 from Andrey Lizenko, as well as an earlier report from  
Dhiraj Chawla that nobody had followed up on.  The issue's been there  
since we added the TCP_KEEPALIVE code path in commit 5acd417c8, so  
back-patch to all supported branches.

Don't lose walreceiver start requests due to race condition in postmaster.

When a walreceiver dies, the startup process will notice that and send  
a PMSIGNAL_START_WALRECEIVER signal to the postmaster, asking for a new  
walreceiver to be launched.  There's a race condition, which at least  
in HEAD is very easy to hit, whereby the postmaster might see that  
signal before it processes the SIGCHLD from the walreceiver process.  
In that situation, sigusr1_handler() just dropped the start request  
on the floor, reasoning that it must be redundant.  Eventually, after  
10 seconds (WALRCV_STARTUP_TIMEOUT), the startup process would make a  
fresh request --- but that's a long time if the connection could have  
been re-established almost immediately.  
  
Fix it by setting a state flag inside the postmaster that we won't  
clear until we do launch a walreceiver.  In cases where that results  
in an extra walreceiver launch, it's up to the walreceiver to realize  
it's unwanted and go away --- but we have, and need, that logic anyway  
for the opposite race case.  
  
I came across this through investigating unexpected delays in the  
src/test/recovery TAP tests: it manifests there in test cases where  
a master server is stopped and restarted while leaving streaming  
slaves active.  
  
This logic has been broken all along, so back-patch to all supported  
branches.

Ignore old stats file timestamps when starting the stats collector.

The stats collector disregards inquiry messages that bear a cutoff_time  
before when it last wrote the relevant stats file.  That's fine, but at  
startup when it reads the "permanent" stats files, it absorbed their  
timestamps as if they were the times at which the corresponding temporary  
stats files had been written.  In reality, of course, there's no data  
out there at all.  This led to disregarding inquiry messages soon after  
startup if the postmaster had been shut down and restarted within less  
than PGSTAT_STAT_INTERVAL; which is a pretty common scenario, both for  
testing and in the field.  Requesting backends would hang for 10 seconds  
and then report failure to read statistics, unless they got bailed out  
by some other backend coming along and making a newer request within  
that interval.  
  
I came across this through investigating unexpected delays in the  
src/test/recovery TAP tests: it manifests there because the autovacuum  
launcher hangs for 10 seconds when it can't get statistics at startup,  
thus preventing a second shutdown from occurring promptly.  We might  
want to do some things in the autovac code to make it less prone to  
getting stuck that way, but this change is a good bug fix regardless.  
  
In passing, also fix pgstat_read_statsfiles() to ensure that it  
re-zeroes its global stats variables if they are corrupted by a  
short read from the stats file.  (Other reads in that function  
go into temp variables, so that the issue doesn't arise.)  
  
This has been broken since we created the separation between permanent  
and temporary stats files in 8.4, so back-patch to all supported branches.

When promoting a standby just after a XLOG_SWITCH record was replayed,  
and next segment(s) are already are locally available (via walsender,  
restore_command + trigger/recovery target), that segment could  
accidentally be recycled onto the past of the new timeline.  Later  
checkpointer would create a .ready file for it, assuming there was an  
error during creation, and it would get archived.  That causes trouble  
if another standby is later brought up from a basebackup from before  
the timeline creation, because it would try to read the  
segment, because XLogFileReadAnyTLI just tries all possible timelines,  
which doesn't have valid contents.  Thus replay would fail.  
  
The problem, if already occurred, can be fixed by removing the segment  
and/or having restore_command filter it out.  
  
The reason for the creation of such "phantom" segments was, that after  
an XLOG_SWITCH record the EndOfLog variable points to the beginning of  
the next segment, and RemoveXlogFile() used XLByteToPrevSeg().  
Normally RemoveXlogFile() doing so is harmless, because the last  
segment will still exist preventing InstallXLogFileSegment() from  
causing harm, but just after promotion there's no previous segment on  
the new timeline.  
  
Fix that by using XLByteToSeg() instead of XLByteToPrevSeg().

We had three occurrences of essentially the same coding pattern  
wherein we tried to retrieve a query result from a libpq connection  
without blocking.  In the case where PQconsumeInput failed (typically  
indicating a lost connection), all three loops simply gave up and  
returned, forgetting to clear any previously-collected PGresult  
object.  Since those are malloc'd not palloc'd, the oversight results  
in a process-lifespan memory leak.  
  
One instance, in libpqwalreceiver, is of little significance because  
the walreceiver process would just quit anyway if its connection fails.  
But we might as well fix it.  
  
The other two instances, in postgres_fdw, are somewhat more worrisome  
because at least in principle the scenario could be repeated, allowing  
the amount of memory leaked to build up to something worth worrying  
about.  Moreover, in these cases the loops contain CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS  
calls, as well as other calls that could potentially elog(ERROR),  
providing another way to exit without having cleared the PGresult.  
Here we need to add PG_TRY logic similar to what exists in quite a  
few other places in postgres_fdw.  
  
Coverity noted the libpqwalreceiver bug; I found the other two cases  
by checking all calls of PQconsumeInput.  
  
Back-patch to all supported versions as appropriate (9.2 lacks  
postgres_fdw, so this is really quite unexciting for that branch).

Improve the situation by changing do_sql_command() to retrieve query  
results using pgfdw_get_result(), which uses the asynchronous  
interface to libpq so that it can check for interrupts every time  
libpq returns control.  Since this might result in a situation  
where we can no longer be sure that the remote transaction state  
matches the local transaction state, add a facility to force all  
levels of the local transaction to abort if we've lost track of  
the remote state; without this, an apparently-successful commit of  
the local transaction might fail to commit changes made on the  
remote side.  Also, add a 60-second timeout for queries issue during  
transaction abort; if that expires, give up and mark the state of  
the connection as unknown.  Drop all such connections when we exit  
the local transaction.  Together, these changes mean that if we're  
aborting the local toplevel transaction anyway, we can just drop the  
remote connection in lieu of waiting (possibly for a very long time)  
for it to complete an abort.  
  
This still leaves quite a bit of room for improvement.  PQcancel()  
has no asynchronous interface, so if we get stuck sending the cancel  
request we'll still hang.  Also, PQsetnonblocking() is not used, which  
means we could block uninterruptibly when sending a query.  There  
might be some other optimizations possible as well.  Nonetheless,  
this allows us to escape a wait for an unresponsive remote server  
quickly in many more cases than previously.

If authentication over an SSL connection fails, with sslmode=prefer,  
libpq will reconnect without SSL and retry. However, we did not clear  
the variables related to GSS, SSPI, and SASL authentication state, when  
reconnecting. Because of that, the second authentication attempt would  
always fail with a "duplicate GSS/SASL authentication request" error.  
pg_SSPI_startup did not check for duplicate authentication requests like  
the corresponding GSS and SASL functions, so with SSPI, you would leak  
some memory instead.  
  
Another way this could manifest itself, on version 10, is if you list  
multiple hostnames in the "host" parameter. If the first server requests  
Kerberos or SCRAM authentication, but it fails, the attempts to connect to  
the other servers will also fail with "duplicate authentication request"  
errors.  
  
To fix, move the clearing of authentication state from closePGconn to  
pgDropConnection, so that it is cleared also when re-connecting.  
  
Patch by Michael Paquier, with some kibitzing by me.  
  
Backpatch down to 9.3. 9.2 has the same bug, but the code around closing  
the connection is somewhat different, so that this patch doesn't apply.  
To fix this in 9.2, I think we would need to back-port commit 210eb9b743  
first, and then apply this patch. However, given that we only bumped into  
this in our own testing, we haven't heard any reports from users about  
this, and that 9.2 will be end-of-lifed in a couple of months anyway, it  
doesn't seem worth the risk and trouble.

Because walsender and normal backends share the same main loop it's  
problematic to have two different flag variables, set in signal  
handlers, indicating a pending configuration reload.  Only certain  
walsender commands reach code paths checking for the  
variable (START_[LOGICAL_]REPLICATION, CREATE_REPLICATION_SLOT  
... LOGICAL, notably not base backups).  
  
This is a bug present since the introduction of walsender, but has  
gotten worse in releases since then which allow walsender to do more.  
  
A later patch, not slated for v10, will similarly unify SIGHUP  
handling in other types of processes as well.

On some platforms, -fpic fails for sufficiently large shared libraries.  
We've mostly not hit that boundary yet, but there are some extensions  
such as Citus and pglogical where it's becoming a problem.  A bit of  
research suggests that the penalty for -fPIC is small, in the  
single-digit-percentage range --- and there's none at all on popular  
platforms such as x86_64.  So let's just default to -fPIC everywhere  
and provide one less thing for extension developers to worry about.  
  
Per complaint from Christoph Berg.  Back-patch to all supported branches.  
(I did not bother to touch the recently-removed Makefiles for sco and  
unixware in the back branches, though.  We'd have no way to test that  
it doesn't break anything on those platforms.)

pg_resetwal (formerly pg_resetxlog) doesn't insist on finding a matching  
version number in pg_control, and that seems like an important thing to  
preserve since recovering from corrupt pg_control is a prime reason to  
need to run it.  However, that means you can try to run it against a  
data directory of a different major version, which is at best useless  
and at worst disastrous.  So as to provide some protection against that  
type of pilot error, inspect PG_VERSION at startup and refuse to do  
anything if it doesn't match.  PG_VERSION is read-only after initdb,  
so it's unlikely to get corrupted, and even if it were corrupted it would  
be easy to fix by hand.  
  
This hazard has been there all along, so back-patch to all supported  
branches.

The NumericOnly grammar production accepted ICONST, + ICONST, - ICONST,  
FCONST, and - FCONST, but for some reason not + FCONST.  This led to  
strange inconsistencies like  
  
regression=# set random_page_cost = +4;  
SET  
regression=# set random_page_cost = 4000000000;  
SET  
regression=# set random_page_cost = +4000000000;  
ERROR:  syntax error at or near "4000000000"  
  
(because 4000000000 is too large to be an ICONST).  While there's  
no actual functional reason to need to write a "+", if we allow  
it for integers it seems like we should allow it for numerics too.

This patch replaces isspace() calls with scanner_isspace() in functions  
that are likely to be presented with non-ASCII input.  isspace() has  
the small advantage that it will correctly recognize no-break space  
in single-byte encodings (such as LATIN1); but it cannot work successfully  
for any multibyte character, and depending on platform it might return  
false positive results for some fragments of multibyte characters.  That's  
disastrous for functions that are trying to discard whitespace between  
valid strings, as noted in bug #14662 from Justin Muise.  Even treating  
no-break space as whitespace is pretty questionable for the usages touched  
here, because the core scanner would think it is an identifier character.  
  
Affected functions are parse_ident(), parseNameAndArgTypes (underlying  
regprocedurein() and siblings), SplitIdentifierString (used for parsing  
GUCs and options that are qualified names or lists of names), and  
SplitDirectoriesString (used for parsing GUCs that are lists of  
directories).  
  
All the functions adjusted here are parsing SQL identifiers and similar  
constructs, so it's reasonable to insist that their definition of  
whitespace match the core scanner.  So we can hope that this won't cause  
many backwards-compatibility problems.  I've left alone isspace() calls  
in places that aren't really expecting any non-ASCII input characters,  
such as float8in().

The cash_div_intX functions applied rint() to the result of the division.  
That's not merely useless (because the result is already an integer) but  
it causes precision loss for values larger than 2^52 or so, because of  
the forced conversion to float8.  
  
On the other hand, the cash_mul_fltX functions neglected to apply rint() to  
their multiplication results, thus possibly causing off-by-one outputs.  
  
Per C standard, arithmetic between any integral value and a float value is  
performed in float format.  Thus, cash_mul_flt4 and cash_div_flt4 produced  
answers good to only about six digits, even when the float value is exact.  
We can improve matters noticeably by widening the float inputs to double.  
(It's tempting to consider using "long double" arithmetic if available,  
but that's probably too much of a stretch for a back-patched fix.)  
  
Also, document that cash_div_intX operators truncate rather than round.

When stdin is a terminal, it's possible to end a COPY FROM STDIN with  
a keyboard EOF signal (typically control-D), and then keep on issuing  
SQL commands.  One would expect another COPY FROM STDIN to work as well,  
but on some platforms it did not.  This turns out to be because we were  
not resetting the stream's feof() flag, and BSD-ish versions of fread()  
and fgets() won't attempt to read more data if that's set.  
  
The misbehavior is observed on BSDen (including macOS), but not Linux,  
Windows, or SysV-ish Unixen, which makes this a portability bug not  
just a missing feature.  
  
Add a clearerr() call to fix the behavior, and improve the prompt that's  
issued when copying from a TTY to mention that EOF signals work.  
  
It's been like this forever, so back-patch to all supported branches.

This has to be backpatched to all supported releases so release markup  
added to HEAD and copied to back branches matches the existing markup.

On Unix this path is detected via the use of xml2-config, but that's not  
available on Windows. This means that users building with libxml2 will  
no longer need to move things around from the standard libxml2  
installation for MSVC builds.  
  
Backpatch to all live branches.

Add a (void) cast to all PQcancel() calls that purposefully don't check  
the return value, to keep compilers and static checkers happy.  
  
Per Coverity.
