Most pg_dump.c global variables, which were passed down individually to
dumping routines, are now grouped as members of the new DumpOptions
struct, which is used as a local variable and passed down into routines
that need it.  This helps future development efforts; in particular it
is said to enable a mode in which a parallel pg_dump run can output
multiple streams, and have them restored in parallel.

Also take the opportunity to clean up the pg_dump header files somewhat,
to avoid circularity.

LWLockRelease should release all backends waiting with LWLockWaitForVar,
even when another backend has already been woken up to acquire the lock,
i.e. when releaseOK is false. LWLockWaitForVar can return as soon as the
protected value changes, even if the other backend will acquire the lock.
Fix that by resetting releaseOK to true in LWLockWaitForVar, whenever
adding itself to the wait queue.

This should fix the bug reported by MauMau, where the system occasionally
hangs when there is a lot of concurrent WAL activity and a checkpoint.
Backpatch to 9.4, where this code was added.

The way the ALTER VIEW / SET options were listed in the synopsis was
very confusing.  Move the list to the main description, similar to how
the ALTER TABLE reference page does it.

This was inadvertently changed in commit c64e68fd.

This allows transactions that take longer than specified limit to be counted
separately. With --rate, transactions that are already late by the time we
get to execute them are skipped altogether. Using --latency-limit with
--rate allows you to "catch up" more quickly, if there's a hickup in the
server causing a lot of transactions to stall momentarily.

If we expect batching at the very beginning, we size nbuckets for
"full work_mem" (see how many tuples we can get into work_mem,
while not breaking NTUP_PER_BUCKET threshold).

If we expect to be fine without batching, we start with the 'right'
nbuckets and track the optimal nbuckets as we go (without actually
resizing the hash table). Once we hit work_mem (considering the
optimal nbuckets value), we keep the value.

At the end of the first batch, we check whether (nbuckets !=
nbuckets_optimal) and resize the hash table if needed. Also, we
keep this value for all batches (it's OK because it assumes full
work_mem, and it makes the batchno evaluation trivial). So the
resize happens only once.

There could be cases where it would improve performance to allow
the NTUP_PER_BUCKET threshold to be exceeded to keep everything in
one batch rather than spilling to a second batch, but attempts to
generate such a case have so far been unsuccessful; that issue may
be addressed with a follow-on patch after further investigation.

The previous quoting caused "make -C src/bin check" to ignore, rather

Back-patch to 9.4, where the macro was introduced.

This affects pg_ctl alone, because pg_ctl takes the exceptional step of
calling Windows API functions in a Cygwin build.

This file used __int64, which is specific to native Windows, rather than
int64.  Suppress the long-unused union field of this type.  Noticed on
Cygwin x86_64 with -lcrypt not installed.  Back-patch to 9.0 (all
supported versions).

List the actions first, as they are the most important options.  Group
the other options more sensibly, consistent with the man page.  Correct
a few typographical errors, clarify some things.

Also update the pg_receivexlog --help output to make it a bit more
consistent with that of pg_recvlogical.

This more clearly suggests the current directory.  While this also works
on Windows, it might be confusing.

Per gripe from Josh Berkus.

When determining whether one JSONB object contains another, it's okay to
make a quick exit if the first object has fewer pairs than the second:
because we de-duplicate keys within objects, it is impossible that the
first object has all the keys the second does.  However, the code was
applying this rule to JSONB arrays as well, where it does *not* hold
because arrays can contain duplicate entries.  The test was really in
the wrong place anyway; we should do it within JsonbDeepContains, where
it can be applied to nested objects not only top-level ones.

Oops, forgot these in the prveious commit.

Lc_collate and lc_ctype have been per-database settings since server version
8.4, but pg_upgrade was still treating them as cluster-wide options. It
fetched the values for the template0 databases in old and new cluster, and
compared them. That's backwards; the encoding and locale of the template0
database doesn't matter, as template0 is guaranteed to contain only ASCII
characters. But if there are any other databases that exist on both clusters
(in particular template1 and postgres databases), their encodings and
locales must be compatible.

Also, make the locale comparison more lenient. If the locale names are not
equal, try to canonicalize both of them by passing them to setlocale(). We
used to do that only when upgrading from 9.1 or below, but it seems like a
good idea even with newer versions. If we change the canonical form of a
locale, this allows pg_upgrade to still work. I'm about to do just that to
fix bug #11431, by mapping a locale name that contains non-ASCII characters
to a pure-ASCII alias of the same locale.

No backpatching, because earlier versions of pg_upgrade still support
upgrading from 8.3 servers. That would be more complicated, so it doesn't
seem worth it, given that we haven't received any complaints about this
from users.

Back-patch to all supported branches.

shm_mq_sendv sends a message to the queue assembled from multiple
locations.  This is expected to be used by forthcoming patches to
allow frontend/backend protocol messages to be sent via shm_mq, but
might be useful for other purposes as well.

shm_mq_set_handle associates a BackgroundWorkerHandle with an
already-existing shm_mq_handle.  This solves a timing problem when
creating a shm_mq to communicate with a newly-launched background
worker: if you attach to the queue first, and the background worker
fails to start, you might block forever trying to do I/O on the queue;
but if you start the background worker first, but then die before
attaching to the queue, the background worrker might block forever
trying to do I/O on the queue.  This lets you attach before starting
the worker (so that the worker is protected) and then associate the
BackgroundWorkerHandle later (so that you are also protected).

This clause changes the behavior of SELECT locking clauses in the
presence of locked rows: instead of causing a process to block waiting
for the locks held by other processes (or raise an error, with NOWAIT),
SKIP LOCKED makes the new reader skip over such rows.  While this is not
appropriate behavior for general purposes, there are some cases in which
it is useful, such as queue-like tables.

Catalog version bumped because this patch changes the representation of
stored rules.

The code wrote a value into the caller's field[] array before checking
to see if there was room, which of course is backwards.  Per report from
Michael Paquier.

I fixed the equivalent bug in the backend's version of this code way back
in 630684d3, but failed to think about ecpg's copy.  Fortunately
this doesn't look like it would be exploitable for anything worse than a
core dump: an external attacker would have no control over the single word
that gets written.

CreateReplicationSlot() and DropReplicationSlot() were not cleaning up
the query buffer in some cases (mostly error conditions) which meant a
small leak.  Not generally an issue as the error case would result in an
immediate exit, but not difficult to fix either and reduces the number
of false positives from code analyzers.

In passing, also add appropriate PQclear() calls to RunIdentifySystem().

pg_receivexlog already has the capability to use a replication slot to
reserve WAL on the upstream node. But the used slot currently has to
be created via SQL.

To allow using slots directly, without involving SQL, add
--create-slot and --drop-slot actions, analogous to the logical slot
manipulation support in pg_recvlogical.

A future patch (9.5 only) adds slot management to pg_receivexlog. The
verbs create/drop don't seem descriptive enough there. It seems better
to rename pg_recvlogical's commands now, in beta, than live with the
inconsistency forever.

The old form (e.g. --drop) will still be accepted by virtue of most
getopt_long() options accepting abbreviations for long commands.

Add entries for recent changes, including noting the JSONB format change
and the recent timezone data changes.  We should remove those two items
before 9.4 final: the JSONB change will be of no interest in the long
run, and it's not normally our habit to mention timezone updates in
major-release notes.  But it seems important to document them temporarily
for beta testers.

I failed to resist the temptation to wordsmith a couple of existing
entries, too.

Teach sigusr1_handler() to use the same test for whether a worker
might need to be started as ServerLoop().  Aside from being perhaps
a bit simpler, this prevents a potentially-unbounded delay when
starting a background worker.  On some platforms, select() doesn't
return when interrupted by a signal, but is instead restarted,
including a reset of the timeout to the originally-requested value.
If signals arrive often enough, but no connection requests arrive,
sigusr1_handler() will be executed repeatedly, but the body of
ServerLoop() won't be reached.  This change ensures that, even in
that case, background workers will eventually get launched.

This is far from a perfect fix; really, we need select() to return
control to ServerLoop() after an interrupt, either via the self-pipe
trick or some other mechanism.  But that's going to require more
work and discussion, so let's do this for now to at least mitigate
the damage.

Most zones in the Russian Federation are subtracting one or two hours
as of 2014-10-26.  Update the meanings of the abbreviations IRKT, KRAT,
MAGT, MSK, NOVT, OMST, SAKT, VLAT, YAKT, YEKT to match.

The IANA timezone database has adopted abbreviations of the form AxST/AxDT
for all Australian time zones, reflecting what they believe to be current
majority practice Down Under.  These names do not conflict with usage
elsewhere (other than ACST for Acre Summer Time, which has been in disuse
since 1994).  Accordingly, adopt these names into our "Default" timezone
abbreviation set.  The "Australia" abbreviation set now contains only
CST,EAST,EST,SAST,SAT,WST, all of which are thought to be mostly historical
usage.  Note that SAST has also been changed to be South Africa Standard
Time in the "Default" abbreviation set.

Add zone abbreviations SRET (Asia/Srednekolymsk) and XJT (Asia/Urumqi),
and use WSST/WSDT for western Samoa.

Also a DST law change in the Turks & Caicos Islands (America/Grand_Turk),
and numerous corrections for historical time zone data.
