The intent was that being populated would, long term, be just one of the conditions which could affect whether a matview was scannable; being populated should be necessary but not always sufficient to scan the relation. Since only CREATE and REFRESH currently determine the scannability, names and comments accidentally conflated these concepts, leading to confusion. Also add missing locking for the SQL function which allows a test for scannability, and fix a modularity violatiion. Per complaints from Tom Lane, although its not clear that these will satisfy his concerns. Hopefully this will at least better frame the discussion.

The materialized views patch adjusted ExplainOneQuery to take an additional DestReceiver argument, but failed to add a matching argument to the definition of ExplainOneQuery_hook. This is a problem for users of the hook that want to call ExplainOnePlan. Fix by adding the missing argument.

This works by extracting trigrams from the given regular expression, in generally the same spirit as the previously-existing support for LIKE searches, though of course the details are far more complicated. Currently, only GIN indexes are supported. We might be able to make it work with GiST indexes later. The implementation includes adding API functions to backend/regex/ to provide a view of the search NFA created from a regular expression. These functions are meant to be generic enough to be supportable in a standalone version of the regex library, should that ever happen. Alexander Korotkov, reviewed by Heikki Linnakangas and Tom Lane

KeepLogSeg function was broken when we switched to use a 64-bit int for the segment number. Per report from Jeff Janes.

Heikki reported comment was wrong, so fixed code to match the comment: we only need to take additional locking precautions when we have a shared lock on the buffer.

We copy the buffer before inserting an XLOG_HINT to avoid WAL CRC errors caused by concurrent hint writes to buffer while share locked. To make this work we refactor RestoreBackupBlock() to allow an XLOG_HINT to avoid the normal path for backup blocks, which assumes the underlying buffer is exclusive locked. Resulting code completely changes layout of XLOG_HINT WAL records, but this isn't even beta code, so this is a low impact change. In passing, avoid taking WALInsertLock for full page writes on checksummed hints, remove related cruft from XLogInsert() and improve xlog_desc record for XLOG_HINT. Andres Freund Bug report by Fujii Masao, testing by Jeff Janes and Jaime Casanova, review by Jeff Davis and Simon Riggs. Applied with changes from review and some comment editing.

In CLUSTER, VACUUM FULL and ALTER TABLE SET TABLESPACE I erroneously set checksum before log_newpage, which sets the LSN and invalidates the checksum. So set checksum immediately *after* log_newpage. Bug report Fujii Masao, Fix and patch by Jeff Davis

contrib/pg_trgm's make_trigrams() was coded to ignore multibyte character boundaries and just make trigrams from bytes if USE_WIDE_UPPER_LOWER wasn't defined. This is a bit odd, since there's no obvious reason why trigram compaction rules should depend on the presence of towlower() and friends. What's more, there was an Assert() that would fail if that code path was fed any multibyte characters. We need to do something about this since the pending regex-indexing patch has an assumption that you get just one "trgm" from any three characters. The best solution seems to be to remove the USE_WIDE_UPPER_LOWER dependency, which shouldn't really have been there in the first place. The second loop in make_trigrams() is now just a fast path and not a potentially incompatible algorithm. If there is anybody still using Postgres on machines without wcstombs() or towlower(), and they have non-ASCII data indexed by pg_trgm, they'll need to REINDEX those indexes after pg_upgrade to 9.3, else searches may fail incorrectly. It seems likely that there are no such installations, though. In passing, rename cnt_trigram to compact_trigram, which seems to better describe its functionality, and improve make_trigrams' test for whether it has to use the slow path or not (per a suggestion from Alexander Korotkov).

Per report from Jaime Casanova. Very curious that no one else has seen this failure ... but the code is clearly wrong as-is.

Counting newlines shows that quite a few recent patches have neglected to update the output-lines count given to PageOutput(). Fortunately it's not terribly critical that this be exact, since we long since exceeded the height of most people's terminal windows. Still, maybe we ought to think of a way to not have to maintain this manually anymore.

The old formula didn't take into account that each WAL sender process needs a spinlock. We had also already exceeded the fixed number of spinlocks reserved for misc purposes (10). Bump that to 30. Backpatch to 9.0, where WAL senders were introduced. If I counted correctly, 9.0 had exactly 10 predefined spinlocks, and 9.1 exceeded that, but bump the limit in 9.0 too because 10 is uncomfortably close to the edge.

The point of turning off track_activities is to avoid this reporting overhead, but a thinko in commit 4f42b546 caused pgstat_report_activity() to perform half of its updates anyway. Fix that, and also make sure that we clear all the now-disabled fields when transitioning to the non-reporting state.

Notice and complain about PQcancel() failures. Also, don't dump core if an error PGresult doesn't contain severity and message subfields, as it might not if it was generated by libpq itself. (We have a longstanding TODO item to improve that, but in the meantime isolationtester had better cope.) I tripped across the latter item while investigating a trouble report on buildfarm member spoonbill. As for the former, there's no evidence that PQcancel failure is actually involved in spoonbill's problem, but it still seems like a bad idea to ignore an error return code.

Security: CVE-2013-1899, CVE-2013-1901

An oversight in commit e710b65c allowed database names beginning with "-" to be treated as though they were secure command-line switches; and this switch processing occurs before client authentication, so that even an unprivileged remote attacker could exploit the bug, needing only connectivity to the postmaster's port. Assorted exploits for this are possible, some requiring a valid database login, some not. The worst known problem is that the "-r" switch can be invoked to redirect the process's stderr output, so that subsequent error messages will be appended to any file the server can write. This can for example be used to corrupt the server's configuration files, so that it will fail when next restarted. Complete destruction of database tables is also possible. Fix by keeping the database name extracted from a startup packet fully separate from command-line switches, as had already been done with the user name field. The Postgres project thanks Mitsumasa Kondo for discovering this bug, Kyotaro Horiguchi for drafting the fix, and Noah Misch for recognizing the full extent of the danger. Security: CVE-2013-1899

The pg_start_backup() and pg_stop_backup() functions checked the privileges of the initially-authenticated user rather than the current user, which is wrong. For example, a user-defined index function could successfully call these functions when executed by ANALYZE within autovacuum. This could allow an attacker with valid but low-privilege database access to interfere with creation of routine backups. Reported and fixed by Noah Misch. Security: CVE-2013-1901

This reverts commit 3780fc67. HP-UX didn't like it. There would probably be a way to fix that, but since the net effect of all of this is zero because ecpg ends up using libpq anyway, it's not worth bothering further.

In commit 0f61d4dd, I added code to copy up column width estimates for each column of a subquery. That code supposed that the subquery couldn't have any output columns that didn't correspond to known columns of the current query level --- which is true when a query is parsed from scratch, but the assumption fails when planning a view that depends on another view that's been redefined (adding output columns) since the upper view was made. This results in an assertion failure or even a crash, as per bug #8025 from lindebg. Remove the Assert and instead skip the column if its resno is out of the expected range.

This will hopefully be easier to use than pg_config for users who are already used to the pkg-config interface. It also works better for multi-arch installations. reviewed by Tom Lane

It doesn't actually use libpq. But we need to keep libpq in the CPPFLAGS for building, because compatlib uses ecpglib.h which uses libpq-fe.h, but we don't need to refer to libpq for linking. reviewed by Tom Lane

Windows sometimes gets upset if we rename a large directory and then try to use the old name quickly, as seen in occasional buildfarm failures. So we avoid that by building the old version in the intended destination in the first place instead of renaming it, similar to the change made for the same reason in commit b7f8465c.
