Two separate hash tables are used for regular procedures and for
trigger procedures, since the way trigger procedures work is quite
different from normal stored procedures.  Change the signatures of
PLy_procedure_{get,create} to accept the function OID and a Boolean
flag indicating whether it's a trigger.  This should make implementing
a PL/Python validator easier.

Using HTABs instead of Python dictionaries makes error recovery
easier, and allows for procedures to be cached based on their OIDs,
not their names.  It also allows getting rid of the PyCObject field
that used to hold a pointer to PLyProcedure, since PyCObjects are
deprecated in Python 2.7 and replaced by Capsules in Python 3.

If the slice to be assigned to was before the existing array lower bound
(requiring at least one null element to spring into existence to fill the
gap), the code miscalculated how many entries needed to be copied from
the old array's null bitmap.  This could result in trashing the array's
data area (as seen in bug #5840 from Karsten Loesing), or worse.

This has been broken since we first allowed the behavior of assigning to
non-adjacent slices, in 8.2.  Back-patch to all affected versions.

Makes replication slaves identify themselves in the new
pg_stat_replication view.

Otherwise WAL recovery will replay the un-flushed WAL after walreceiver has
exited, which can lead to a non-recoverable standby if the system crashes hard
at that point.

and it can be enhanced easier.

This closes a race condition where if a tablespace was created
after the enumeration happened but before the do_pg_start_backup()
was called, the backup would be incomplete. Now that it's done
while we are in backup mode, WAL replay will recreate it during
restore.

backend, as far as the postmaster shutdown logic is concerned. That means,
fast shutdown will wait for WAL sender processes to exit before signaling
bgwriter to finish. This avoids race conditions between a base backup stopping
or starting, and bgwriter writing the shutdown checkpoint WAL record. We don't
want e.g the end-of-backup WAL record to be written after the shutdown
checkpoint.

Makes it easier to parse mainly the BASE_BACKUP command
with it's options, and avoids having to manually deal
with quoted identifiers in the label (previously broken),
and makes it easier to add new commands and options in
the future.

In passing, refactor the case statement in the walsender
to put each command in it's own function.

When the exit waits until the whole backup completes, it may take
a very long time.

In passing, add back an error check in the main loop so we detect
clients that disconnect much earlier if the backup is large.

Fix broken test for pre-existing postmaster, caused by wrong code for
appending lines to the lockfile; don't write a failed listen_address
setting into the lockfile; don't arbitrarily change the location of the
data directory in the lockfile compared to previous releases; provide more
consistent and useful definitions of the socket path and listen_address
entries; avoid assuming that pg_ctl has the same DEFAULT_PGSOCKET_DIR as
the postmaster; assorted code style improvements.

This reverts commit d1001a78 of 2010-12-05,
which was broken as reported by Jeff Davis.  The problem is that the
individual planning steps may have side-effects on substructures of
PlannerGlobal, not only the current PlannerInfo root.  Arranging to keep
all such side effects in the main planning context is probably possible,
but it would change this from a quick local hack into a wide-ranging and
rather fragile endeavor.  Which it's not worth.

that can be read without blocking. It used to conclude that there isn't, even
though there was data in the socket receive buffer. That lead walreceiver to
flush the WAL after every received chunk, potentially causing big performance
issues.

Backpatch to 9.0, because the performance impact can be very significant.

Changing a file two directory levels deep under src/backend/ would not
cause the postgres binary to be rebuilt.  This change fixes it, but no
one knows why.

Instead, run them in the encoding that the locale selects, which is
more representative of real use.

Also document how locale and encoding for regression test runs can be
selected.

In an inherited UPDATE/DELETE, each target table has its own subplan,
because it might have a column set different from other targets.  This
means that the resjunk columns we add to support EvalPlanQual might be
at different physical column numbers in each subplan.  The EvalPlanQual
rewrite I did for 9.0 failed to account for this, resulting in possible
misbehavior or even crashes during concurrent updates to the same row,
as seen in a recent report from Gordon Shannon.  Revise the data structure
so that we track resjunk column numbers separately for each subplan.

I also chose to move responsibility for identifying the physical column
numbers back to executor startup, instead of assuming that numbers derived
during preprocess_targetlist would stay valid throughout subsequent
massaging of the plan.  That's a bit slower, so we might want to consider
undoing it someday; but it would complicate the patch considerably and
didn't seem justifiable in a bug fix that has to be back-patched to 9.0.

This was lost during the recent recursive make change.

Some versions of gcc complain about "variable `tablespaces' might be
clobbered by `longjmp' or `vfork'" with the original coding.  Fix by
moving the PG_TRY block into a separate subroutine.

Per my note of a couple days ago, create_index_paths would refuse to
consider any path at all for GIN indexes if the selectivity estimate came
out as 1.0; not even if you tried to force it with enable_seqscan.  While
this isn't really a bad outcome in practice, it could be annoying for
testing purposes.  Adjust the test for "is this path only useful for
sorting" so that it doesn't fire on paths with nil pathkeys, which will
include all GIN paths.

When in streaming mode we can never get out, so it will never
be required, but after a base backup (or other operations)
we can get back to the loop, so the title needs to be cleared.
