The use of volatiles in procarray.c largely originated from the time
when postgres did not have reliable compiler and memory
barriers. That's not the case anymore, so we can do better.

Several of the functions in procarray.c can be bottlenecks, and
removal of volatile yields mildly better code.

The new state, with explicit memory barriers, is also more
correct. The previous use of volatile did not actually deliver
sufficient guarantees on weakly ordered machines, in particular the
logic in GetNewTransactionId() does not look safe.  It seems unlikely
to be a problem in practice, but worth fixing.

Thomas and I independently wrote a patch for this.

The tests added in cfa0f425 to skip
firing an RI trigger if any old key value is NULL can also be applied
for DELETE.  This should give a performance gain in those cases, and it
also saves a lot of duplicate code in the actual RI triggers.  (That
code was already dead code for the UPDATE cases.)
Reviewed-by: Daniel Gustafsson <daniel@yesql.se>

The ri_KeysEqual() calls in the foreign-key trigger functions to
optimize away some updates are useless because since
adfeef55 those triggers are not enqueued
at all.  (It's also not useful to keep these checks as some kind of
backstop, since it's also semantically correct to just run the full
check even with equal keys.)
Reviewed-by: Daniel Gustafsson <daniel@yesql.se>

Previously the code checked PROC_IN_LOGICAL_DECODING and
PROC_IN_VACUUM separately. As the relevant variable is marked as
volatile, the compiler cannot combine the two tests.  As
GetSnapshotData() is pretty hot in a number of workloads, it's
worthwhile to fix that.

It'd also be a good idea to get rid of the volatiles altogether. But
for one that's a larger patch, and for another, the code after this
change still seems at least as easy to read as before.

Backpatch: 11-, like fc49e24f itself.

Commit 15c72934 was a couple bricks shy of a load: we need to
ensure that expr->plan gets reset to NULL on any error exit,
if it's not supposed to be saved.  Also ensure that the
stmt->target calculation gets redone if needed.

The easy way to exhibit a problem is to set up code that
violates the writable-argument restriction and then execute
it twice.  But error exits out of, eg, setup_param_list()
could also break it.  Make the existing PG_TRY block cover
all of that code to be sure.

This patch fixes several related cases in which pg_shdepend entries were
never made, or were lost, for references to roles appearing in the ACLs of
schemas and/or types.  While that did no immediate harm, if a referenced
role were later dropped, the drop would be allowed and would leave a
dangling reference in the object's ACL.  That still wasn't a big problem
for normal database usage, but it would cause obscure failures in
subsequent dump/reload or pg_upgrade attempts, taking the form of
attempts to grant privileges to all-numeric role names.  (I think I've
seen field reports matching that symptom, but can't find any right now.)

Several cases are fixed here:

1. ALTER DOMAIN SET/DROP DEFAULT would lose the dependencies for any
existing ACL entries for the domain.  This case is ancient, dating
back as far as we've had pg_shdepend tracking at all.

2. If a default type privilege applies, CREATE TYPE recorded the
ACL properly but forgot to install dependency entries for it.
This dates to the addition of default privileges for types in 9.2.

3. If a default schema privilege applies, CREATE SCHEMA recorded the
ACL properly but forgot to install dependency entries for it.
This dates to the addition of default privileges for schemas in v10
(commit ab89e465).

Another somewhat-related problem is that when creating a relation
rowtype or implicit array type, TypeCreate would apply any available
default type privileges to that type, which we don't really want
since such an object isn't supposed to have privileges of its own.
(You can't, for example, drop such privileges once they've been added
to an array type.)

ab89e465 is also to blame for a race condition in the regression tests:
privileges.sql transiently installed globally-applicable default
privileges on schemas, which sometimes got absorbed into the ACLs of
schemas created by concurrent test scripts.  This should have resulted
in failures when privileges.sql tried to drop the role holding such
privileges; but thanks to the bug fixed here, it instead led to dangling
ACLs in the final state of the regression database.  We'd managed not to
notice that, but it became obvious in the wake of commit da906766, which
allowed the race condition to occur in pg_upgrade tests.

To fix, add a function recordDependencyOnNewAcl to encapsulate what
callers of get_user_default_acl need to do; while the original call
sites got that right via ad-hoc code, none of the later-added ones
have.  Also change GenerateTypeDependencies to generate these
dependencies, which requires adding the typacl to its parameter list.
(That might be annoying if there are any extensions calling that
function directly; but if there are, they're most likely buggy in the
same way as the core callers were, so they need work anyway.)  While
I was at it, I changed GenerateTypeDependencies to accept most of its
parameters in the form of a Form_pg_type pointer, making its parameter
list a bit less unwieldy and mistake-prone.

The test race condition is fixed just by wrapping the addition and
removal of default privileges into a single transaction, so that that
state is never visible externally.  We might eventually prefer to
separate out tests of default privileges into a script that runs by
itself, but that would be a bigger change and would make the tests
run slower overall.

Back-patch relevant parts to all supported branches.

Before this commit slot_getattr() checked for dropped
columns (returning NULL in that case), but only after checking for
previously deformed columns. As slot_deform_tuple() does not contain
such a check, the check in slot_getattr() would often not have been
reached, depending on previous use of the slot.

These days locking and plan invalidation ought to ensure that dropped
columns are not accessed in query plans. Therefore this commit just
drops the insufficient check in slot_getattr().  It's possible that
we'll find some holes againt use of dropped columns, but if so, those
need to be addressed independent of slot_getattr(), as most accesses
don't go through that function anyway.

In a lot of nodes the return slot is not required. That can either be
because the node doesn't do any projection (say an Append node), or
because the node does perform projections but the projection is
optimized away because the projection would yield an identical row.

Slots aren't that small, especially for wide rows, so it's worthwhile
to avoid creating them.  It's not possible to just skip creating the
slot - it's currently used to determine the tuple descriptor returned
by ExecGetResultType().  So separate the determination of the result
type from the slot creation.  The work previously done internally
ExecInitResultTupleSlotTL() can now also be done separately with
ExecInitResultTypeTL() and ExecInitResultSlot().  That way nodes that
aren't guaranteed to need a result slot, can use
ExecInitResultTypeTL() to determine the result type of the node, and
ExecAssignScanProjectionInfo() (via
ExecConditionalAssignProjectionInfo()) determines that a result slot
is needed, it is created with ExecInitResultSlot().

Besides the advantage of avoiding to create slots that then are
unused, this is necessary preparation for later patches around tuple
table slot abstraction. In particular separating the return descriptor
and slot is a prerequisite to allow JITing of tuple deforming with
knowledge of the underlying tuple format, and to avoid unnecessarily
creating JITed tuple deforming for virtual slots.

This commit removes a redundant argument from
ExecInitResultTupleSlotTL(). While this commit touches a lot of the
relevant lines anyway, it'd normally still not worthwhile to cause
breakage, except that aforementioned later commits will touch *all*
ExecInitResultTupleSlotTL() callers anyway (but fits worse
thematically).

This commit fixes a set of issues with ON COMMIT actions when used on
partitioned tables and tables with inheritance children:
- Applying ON COMMIT DROP on a partitioned table with partitions or on a
table with inheritance children caused a failure at commit time, with
complains about the children being already dropped as all relations are
dropped one at the same time.
- Applying ON COMMIT DELETE on a partition relying on a partitioned
table which uses ON COMMIT DROP would cause the partition truncation to
fail as the parent is removed first.

The solution to the first problem is to handle the removal of all the
dependencies in one go instead of dropping relations one-by-one, based
on a suggestion from Álvaro Herrera.  So instead all the relation OIDs
to remove are gathered and then processed in one round of multiple
deletions.

The solution to the second problem is to reorder the actions, with
truncation happening first and relation drop done after.  Even if it
means that a partition could be first truncated, then immediately
dropped if its partitioned table is dropped, this has the merit to keep
the code simple as there is no need to do existence checks on the
relations to drop.

Contrary to a manual TRUNCATE on a partitioned table, ON COMMIT DELETE
does not cascade to its partitions.  The ON COMMIT action defined on
each partition gets the priority.

Backpatch-through: 10

Previously it was possible to set client_min_messages to FATAL or PANIC,
which had the effect of suppressing transmission of regular ERROR messages
to the client.  Perhaps that seemed like a useful option in the past, but
the trouble with it is that it breaks guarantees that are explicitly made
in our FE/BE protocol spec about how a query cycle can end.  While libpq
and psql manage to cope with the omission, that's mostly because they
are not very bright; client libraries that have more semantic knowledge
are likely to get confused.  Notably, pgODBC doesn't behave very sanely.
Let's fix this by getting rid of the ability to set client_min_messages
above ERROR.

In HEAD, just remove the FATAL and PANIC options from the set of allowed
enum values for client_min_messages.  (This change also affects
trace_recovery_messages, but that's OK since these aren't useful values
for that variable either.)

In the back branches, there was concern that rejecting these values might
break applications that are explicitly setting things that way.  I'm
pretty skeptical of that argument, but accommodate it by accepting these
values and then internally setting the variable to ERROR anyway.

In all branches, this allows a couple of tiny simplifications in the
logic in elog.c, so do that.

Also respond to the point that was made that client_min_messages has
exactly nothing to do with the server's logging behavior, and therefore
does not belong in the "When To Log" subsection of the documentation.
The "Statement Behavior" subsection is a better match, so move it there.

The original code to propagate NOT NULL and default expressions
specified when creating a partition was mostly copy-pasted from
typed-tables creation, but not being a great match it contained some
duplicity, inefficiency and bugs.

This commit fixes the bug that NOT NULL constraints declared in the
parent table would not be honored in the partition.  One reported issue
that is not fixed is that a DEFAULT declared in the child is not used
when inserting through the parent.  That would amount to a behavioral
change that's better not back-patched.

This rewrite makes the code simpler:

1. instead of checking for duplicate column names in its own block,
reuse the original one that already did that;

2. instead of concatenating the list of columns from parent and the one
declared in the partition and scanning the result to (incorrectly)
propagate defaults and not-null constraints, just scan the latter
searching the former for a match, and merging sensibly.  This works
because we know the list in the parent is already correct and there can
only be one parent.

This rewrite makes ColumnDef->is_from_parent unused, so it's removed
on branch master; on released branches, it's kept as an unused field in
order not to cause ABI incompatibilities.

This commit also adds a test case for creating partitions with
collations mismatching that on the parent table, something that is
closely related to the code being patched.  No code change is introduced
though, since that'd be a behavior change that could break some (broken)
working applications.

Amit Langote wrote a less invasive fix for the original
NOT NULL/defaults bug, but while I kept the tests he added, I ended up

The planner doesn't make any use of root->total_table_pages until it
estimates costs of indexscans, so we don't need to compute it as
early as that's currently done.  By doing the calculation between
set_base_rel_sizes and set_base_rel_pathlists, we can omit relations
that get removed from the query by partition pruning or constraint
exclusion, which seems like a more accurate basis for costing.

(Historical note: I think at the time this code was written, there
was not a separation between the "set sizes" and "set pathlists"
steps, so that this approach would have been impossible at the time.
But now that we have that separation, this is clearly the better way

Add entries for v11 changes that went in post-stamping, but before
the final wrap.

The code added by commit c203d6cf causes a crash in at least one case,
where a potentially-optimizable expression index has a storage type
different from the input data type.  A cursory code review turned up
numerous other problems that seem impractical to fix on short notice.

Andres argued for revert of that patch some time ago, and if additional
senior committers had been paying attention, that's likely what would
have happened, but we were not :-(

At this point we can't just revert, at least not in v11, because that would
mean an ABI break for code touching relcache entries.  And we should not
remove the (also buggy) support for the recheck_on_update index reloption,
since it might already be used in some databases in the field.  So this
patch just does the as-little-invasive-as-possible measure of disabling
the feature as though recheck_on_update were forced off for all indexes.
I also removed the related regression tests (which would otherwise fail)
and the user-facing documentation of the reloption.

We should undertake a more thorough code cleanup if the patch can't be
fixed, but not under the extreme time pressure of being already overdue
for 11.1 release.

Backpatch-through: 9.4

The "rb" prefix is used by Ruby, so that our existing code results
in name collisions that break plruby.  We discussed ways to prevent
that by adjusting dynamic linker options, but it seems that at best
we'd move the pain to other cases.  Renaming to avoid the collision
is the only portable fix anyway.  Fortunately, our rbtree code is
not (yet?) widely used --- in core, there's only a single usage
in GIN --- so it seems likely that we can get away with a rename.

I chose to do this basically as s/rb/rbt/g, except for places where
there already was a "t" after "rb".  The patch could have been made
smaller by only touching linker-visible symbols, but it would have
resulted in oddly inconsistent-looking code.  Better to make it look
like "rbt" was the plan all along.

Back-patch to v10.  The rbtree.c code exists back to 9.5, but
rb_iterate() which is the actual immediate source of pain was added
