We don't test the catversion for the NextXID delimiter change, we just
test the string contents;  explain why.

Reported-by: Michael Paquier

NextXID has been rendered in the form of a pg_lsn even though it
really is not. This can cause confusion, so change the format from
%u/%u to %u:%u, per discussion on hackers.

The previous value of 5s is inadequate for the buildfarm's
CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS animals: they take long enough to do the is-it-waiting
queries that the timeout expires, allowing the database state to change,
before isolationtester is done looking.  Perhaps 10s will be enough.
(If it isn't, I'm inclined to reduce the number of sessions involved.)

This mostly reverts commit 9c9782f0.
I left in the parts that rearranged removal of completed waiting steps;
but the idea of not rechecking a step's blocked-ness isn't working.

This reverts commit d03130d3.
That was dependent on an isolationtester.c change that now proves
to be broken; we will need to find another solution.

There is no reason to have the per-thread logfile file pointer as a
separate parameter in various functions: it's much simpler to put it in
the per-thread state struct instead, which is already being passed to
all functions that need the log file anyway.  Change the callsites in
which it was used as a boolean to test whether logging is active, so
that they use the use_log global variable instead.

No backpatch, even though this exists since commit a887c486 of March
2010, because this is just for cleanliness' sake and the surrounding
code has been modified a lot recently anyway.

Commit 1d0c3b3f introduced a bug that causes pgbench to crash if an
empty script file is specified.  Fix it by rejecting such files at
startup, which is the historical and intended behavior.

It turns out that there is a second race condition in the new deadlock-hard
test: once the deadlock detector fires, it's uncertain whether step s7a8 or
step s8a1 will report first, because killing s8's transaction unblocks s7.
So far, s7 has only been seen to report first in CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS
builds, but it's pretty reproducible there, and in theory it should
sometimes occur in normal builds too.  If s7 were a bit slower than usual,
that could also break the test, since the existing expected-file assumes
that we'll see s7a8 report the first time we check it after s8a1 completes.
To fix, add a post-lock delay to s7a8.

If we're retrying a step, then we already decided it was blocked on a lock,
and there's no need to recheck that.  The original coding of commit
38f8bdca resulted in a large number of
is-it-waiting queries when dealing with multiple concurrently-blocked
sessions, which is fairly pointless and also results in test failures in
CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS builds, where the is-it-waiting query is quite slow.

This definition also permits appending pg_sleep() calls to steps where it's
needed to control the order of finish of concurrent steps.  Before, that
did not work nicely because we'd decide that a step performing a sleep was
not blocked and hang up waiting for it to finish, rather than noticing the
completion of the concurrent step we're supposed to notice first.

In passing, revise handling of removal of completed waiting steps
to make it a bit less messy.

Need to do some more hacking on this, and got annoyed that it's not
indent clean.

An extensible node is always tagged T_Extensible, but the extnodename
field identifies it more specifically; it may also include arbitrary
private data.  Extensible nodes can be copied, tested for equality,
serialized, and deserialized, but the core system doesn't know
anything about them otherwise.  Some extensions may find it useful to
include these nodes in fdw_private or custom_private lists in lieu of
arm-wrestling their data into a format that the core code can
understand.

Along the way, so as not to burden the authors of such extensible
node types too much, expose the functions for writing serialized
tokens, and for serializing and deserializing bitmapsets.

The new deadlock-soft-2 test has a timing dependency too: it supposes
that isolationtester will detect step s1b as waiting before the deadlock
detector runs and grants it the lock.  Adjust deadlock_timeout to ensure
that that's true even in CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS builds, where the wait
detection query is quite slow.  Per buildfarm member jaguarundi.

If we ever get around to allowing functional dependency to be proven
from other things besides simple primary keys, this code will need to
be rethought, but that was true anyway.  In the meantime, we might as
well not have two very-similar routines for scanning pg_constraint.

If a GROUP BY clause includes all columns of a non-deferred primary key,
as well as other columns of the same relation, those other columns are
redundant and can be dropped from the grouping; the pkey is enough to
ensure that each row of the table corresponds to a separate group.
Getting rid of the excess columns will reduce the cost of the sorting or
hashing needed to implement GROUP BY, and can indeed remove the need for
a sort step altogether.

This seems worth testing for since many query authors are not aware of
the GROUP-BY-primary-key exception to the rule about queries not being
allowed to reference non-grouped-by columns in their targetlists or
HAVING clauses.  Thus, redundant GROUP BY items are not uncommon.  Also,
we can make the test pretty cheap in most queries where it won't help
by not looking up a rel's primary key until we've found that at least
two of its columns are in GROUP BY.

A pending patch requires exporting a function returning Bitmapset from
catalog/pg_constraint.c.  As things stand, that would mean including
nodes/bitmapset.h in pg_constraint.h, which might be hazardous for the
client-side includability of that header.  It's not entirely clear whether
any client-side code needs to include pg_constraint.h, but it seems prudent
to assume that there is some such code somewhere.  Therefore, split off the
function definitions into a new file pg_constraint_fn.h, similarly to what
we've done for some other catalog header files.

Historically this message has been emitted at the end of ShutdownXLOG().
That's not an insane place for it in a standalone backend, but in the
postmaster environment we've grown a fair amount of stuff that happens
later, including archiver/walsender shutdown, stats collector shutdown,
etc.  Recent buildfarm experimentation showed that on slower machines
there could be many seconds' delay between finishing ShutdownXLOG() and
actual postmaster exit.  That's fairly confusing, both for testing
purposes and for DBAs.  Hence, move the code that prints this message
into UnlinkLockFiles(), so that it comes out just after we remove the
postmaster's pidfile.  That is a more appropriate definition of "is shut
down" from the point of view of "pg_ctl stop", for example.  In general,
removing the pidfile should be the last externally-visible action of
either a postmaster or a standalone backend; compare commit
d73d14c2 for instance.  So this seems
like a reasonably future-proof approach.

This finishes the work - spread across many commits over the last
several months - of putting each type of lock other than the named
individual locks into a separate tranche.

The original formulation of 4c9864b9
was extremely timing-sensitive, because it arranged for the deadlock
detector to be running (and possibly unblocking the current query)
at almost exactly the same time as isolationtester would be probing
to see if the query is blocked.  The committed expected-file assumed
that the deadlock detection would finish first, but we see the opposite
on both fast and slow buildfarm animals.  Adjust the deadlock timeout
settings to make it predictable that isolationtester *will* see the
query as waiting before deadlock detection unblocks it.

I used a 5s timeout for the same reasons mentioned in
a7921f71.

Fix a few oversights in 38f8bdca:

Commit 0e141c0f introduced a new
facility to reduce ProcArrayLock contention by clearing several XIDs
from the ProcArray under a single lock acquisition.  The names
initially chosen were deemed not to be very good choices, so commit
4aec4989 renamed them.  But now it
seems like we still didn't get it right.  A pending patch wants to
add similar infrastructure for batching CLOG updates, so the names
need to be clear enough to allow a new set of structure members with
a related purpose.

Previously, we had no test coverage for the deadlock detector.

This allows testing of deadlock scenarios.  Scenarios that would
previously have been considered invalid are now simply taken as a
scenario in which more than one backend will wait.

This is a necessary prerequisite for forthcoming changes to allow deadlock
scenarios to be tested by the isolation tester.  It is also a good idea on
general principle, since these scenarios add no useful test coverage not
provided by other scenarios, but do to take time to execute.

Thirty seconds was not consistently enough for promotion to complete on
buildfarm members sungazer and tern.  Experiments suggest 43s would have
been enough.  Back-patch to 9.5, where pg_rewind was introduced.

Many automated test suites call pg_ctl.  Buildfarm members axolotl,
hornet, mandrill, shearwater, sungazer and tern have failed when server
shutdown took longer than the pg_ctl default 60s timeout.  This addition
permits slow hosts to easily raise the timeout without us editing a
--timeout argument into every test suite pg_ctl call.  Back-patch to 9.1
(all supported versions) for the sake of automated testing.

It turns out that on FreeBSD-derived platforms (including OS X), the
*scanf() family of functions is pretty much brain-dead about multibyte
characters.  In particular it will apply isspace() to individual bytes
of input even when those bytes are part of a multibyte character, thus
allowing false recognition of a field-terminating space.

We appear to have little alternative other than instituting a coding
rule that *scanf() is not to be used if the input string might contain
multibyte characters.  (There was some discussion of relying on "%ls",
but that probably just moves the portability problem somewhere else,
and besides it doesn't fully prevent BSD *scanf() from using isspace().)

This patch is a down payment on that: it gets rid of use of sscanf()
to parse ispell dictionary files, which are certainly at great risk
of having a problem.  The code is cleaner this way anyway, though
a bit longer.

In passing, improve a few comments.

This reverts commit 3971f648 and a
couple of followon debugging commits; I think we've learned what we can
from them.

As of commit c1772ad9, there's no
longer any way of requesting additional LWLocks in the main tranche,
so we don't need NumLWLocks() or LWLockAssign() any more.  Also,
some of the allocation counters that we had previously aren't needed
any more either.

It causes warnings in non-Assert-enabled builds.

Per report from Jeff Janes.

Further investigation says that there may be some slow operations after
we've finished ShutdownXLOG(), so add some more log messages to try to
isolate that.  This is all temporary code too.

Per Tom Lane and the buildfarm.

If we've got a relatively straightforward join between two tables,
this pushes that join down to the remote server instead of fetching
the rows for each table and performing the join locally.  Some cases
are not handled yet, such as SEMI and ANTI joins.  Also, we don't
yet attempt to create presorted join paths or parameterized join
paths even though these options do get tried for a base relation
scan.  Nevertheless, this seems likely to be a very significant win
in many practical cases.

Early returns from the buildfarm show that there's a bit of a gap in the
logging I added in 3971f648: the portion of CreateCheckPoint()
after CheckPointGuts() can take a fair amount of time.  Add a few more
log messages in that section of code.  This too shall be reverted later.

This is a quick hack, due to be reverted when its purpose has been served,
to try to gather information about why some of the buildfarm critters
regularly fail with "postmaster does not shut down" complaints.  Maybe they
are just really overloaded, but maybe something else is going on.  Hence,
instrument pg_ctl to print the current time when it starts waiting for
postmaster shutdown and when it gives up, and add a lot of logging of the
current time in the server's checkpoint and shutdown code paths.

No attempt has been made to make this pretty.  I'm not even totally sure
if it will build on Windows, but we'll soon find out.

Just to make sure previous commit worked ...
