I noticed that p_value_substitute, which is a single-purpose kluge I added
in 2002 (commit b0422b21), could be replaced by having domainAddConstraint
install a parser hook that looks for the name "value".  The parser hook
code only dates back to 2009, so it's not surprising that we had to kluge
this in 2002, but we can do it more cleanly now.

I got annoyed about how some fields of ParseState were documented in the
struct's block comment and some weren't; not all of the latter are trivial.
Fix that.  Also reorder a couple of fields that seem to have been placed
rather randomly, or maybe with an idea of avoiding padding space; but there
are never so many ParseStates in existence at one time that we ought to
value pad space over readability.

For reasons unknown, pg_dumpall and pg_restore managed to escape the
basic set of TAP tests that were added for pg_dump in 6bd356c3, so
let's get them added now.  A few minor adjustments are also made to the
dump/restore tests to improve code coverage for pg_restore/pg_dumpall.

Make pltcl_trigger_handler() construct modified tuples using
pltcl_build_tuple_result(), rather than its own copy of essentially
the same logic.  This results in slightly different message wording for
the error cases, and in one case a different SQLSTATE, but it seems
unlikely that any existing applications are depending on any of those
details.

While at it, fix a typo in commit 26abb50c: pltcl_build_tuple_result was
applying encoding conversion in the wrong direction.  That would be a
back-patchable bug fix, except the code hasn't shipped yet.

findTableByOid() is allowed to return NULL and we should therefore be
checking for that case.  getOwnedSeqs() and dumpSequence() shouldn't
ever actually see this happen, but given odd circumstances it might and
commit f9e439b1 probably shouldn't have removed that check.

Pointed out by Coverity.  Initial patch from Michael Paquier.

Back-patch to 9.6, where that commit had removed the check.

This fixes problems where a plan must change but fails to do so,
as seen in a bug report from Rajkumar Raghuwanshi.

For ALTER FOREIGN TABLE OPTIONS, do this through the standard method of
forcing a relcache flush on the table.  For ALTER FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER
and ALTER SERVER, just flush the whole plan cache on any change in
pg_foreign_data_wrapper or pg_foreign_server.  That matches the way
we handle some other low-probability cases such as opclass changes, and
it's unclear that the case arises often enough to be worth working harder.
Besides, that gives a patch that is simple enough to back-patch with
confidence.

Back-patch to 9.3.  In principle we could apply the code change to 9.2 as
well, but (a) we lack postgres_fdw to test it with, (b) it's doubtful that
anyone is doing anything exciting enough with FDWs that far back to need
this desperately, and (c) the patch doesn't apply cleanly.

This commit purported to use a variable hash seed for Partial
HashAggregate, but actually did the opposite - it made us use a
variable seed for any HashAggregate that is NOT partial.  Woops.

Commit 4aec4989 reorganized the order
of operations here so that we no longer increment the number of "extra
waits" before locking the semaphore, but it did not change the
starting value of extraWaits from 0 to -1 to compensate.  In the worst
case, this could leak a semaphore count, but that seems to be unlikely
in practice.

With the old code, a backend that read pg_stat_activity without ever
having executed a parallel query might see a backend in the midst of
executing one waiting on a DSA LWLock, resulting in a crash.  The
solution is for backends to register the tranche at startup time, not
the first time a parallel query is executed.

Report by Andreas Seltenreich.  Patch by me, reviewed by Thomas Munro.

array_fill(..., array[0]) produced an empty array, which is probably
what users expect, but it was a one-dimensional zero-length array
which is not our standard representation of empty arrays.  Also, for
no very good reason, it rejected empty input arrays; that case should
be allowed and produce an empty output array.

In passing, remove the restriction that the input array(s) have lower
bound 1.  That seems rather pointless, and it would have needed extra
complexity to make the check deal with empty input arrays.

RelationGetPartitionQual() and generate_partition_qual() are always
called with recurse = true, so we don't need an argument for that.

Extracted by me from a larger patch by Amit Langote.

After a tuple is routed to a partition, it has been converted from the
root table's row type to the partition's row type.  ExecConstraints
needs to report the failure using the original tuple and the parent's
tuple descriptor rather than the ones for the selected partition.

Allow pg_recvlogical to specify an ending LSN, complementing
the existing -—startpos=LSN option.

Craig Ringer, reviewed by Euler Taveira and Naoki Okano

configure can only probe the existence of gcc intrinsics, not how well
they're implemented, and unfortunately the answer is sometimes "badly".
In particular we've found that multiple compilers fail to implement
char-width __sync_lock_test_and_set() correctly on PPC; and even a correct
implementation would necessarily be pretty inefficient, since that hardware
has only a word-wide primitive to work with.

Given the knowledge we've accumulated in s_lock.h, it appears that it's
best to rely on int-width TAS operations on most non-Intel architectures.
Hence, pick int not char when both are nominally available to us in
generic-gcc.h (note that that code is not used for x86[_64]).

Back-patch to fix regression test failures on FreeBSD/PPC.  Ordinarily
back-patching a change like this would be verboten because of ABI breakage.
But since pg_atomic_flag is not yet used in any Postgres data structure,
there's no ABI to break.  It seems safer to back-patch to avoid possible
gotchas, if someday we do back-patch something that uses pg_atomic_flag.

Amit Langote, per a gripe from me

Leave OpenSSL's default passphrase collection callback in place during
the first call of secure_initialize() in server startup.  Although that
doesn't work terribly well in daemon contexts, some people feel we should
not break it for anyone who was successfully using it before.  We still
block passphrase demands during SIGHUP, meaning that you can't adjust SSL
configuration on-the-fly if you used a passphrase, but this is no worse
than what it was before commit de41869b.  And we block passphrase demands
during EXEC_BACKEND reloads; that behavior wasn't useful either, but at
least now it's documented.

Tweak some related log messages for more readability, and avoid issuing
essentially duplicate messages about reload failure caused by a passphrase.

The typical size of an LWLock is now 16 bytes even on 64-bit platforms,
and the size of slock_t is now irrelevant.  But pg_atomic_uint32 can
(perhaps surprisingly) still be larger than 4 bytes, so there's still
some marginal point to allowing LWLOCK_MINIMAL_SIZE == 64.

These files are deleted but not yet gone from the filesystem. Operations
on them will return ERROR_DELETE_PENDING.

With this we start treating that as ENOENT, meaning files does not
exist (which is the state it will soon reach). This should be safe in
every case except when we try to recreate a file with exactly the same
name. This is an operation that PostgreSQL does very seldom, so
hopefully that won't happen much -- and even if it does, this treatment
should be no worse than treating it as an unhandled error.

We've been un able to reproduce the bug reliably, so pushing this to
master to get buildfarm coverage and other testing. Once it's proven to
be stable, it should be considered for backpatching.

Backpatch-through: certain files through 9.2

OpenSSL's default behavior when loading a passphrase-protected key file
is to open /dev/tty and demand the password from there.  It was kinda
sorta okay to allow that to happen at server start, but really that was
never workable in standard daemon environments.  And it was a complete
fail on Windows, where the same thing would happen at every backend launch.
Yesterday's commit de41869b put the final nail in the coffin by causing
that to happen at every SIGHUP; even if you've still got a terminal acting
as the server's TTY, having the postmaster freeze until you enter the
passphrase again isn't acceptable.

Hence, override the default behavior with a callback that returns an empty
string, ensuring failure.  Change the documentation to say that you can't
have a passphrase-protected server key, period.

If we can think of a production-grade way of collecting a passphrase from
somewhere, we might do that once at server startup and use this callback
to feed it to OpenSSL, but it's far from clear that anyone cares enough
to invest that much work in the feature.  The lack of complaints about
the existing fractionally-baked behavior suggests nobody's using it anyway.

That was written when we still had "crypt" authentication, and it was

MD5 hashes, we'll need a similar notice again. But this text as it's worded
now is just wrong.)

It is no longer necessary to restart the server to enable, disable,
or reconfigure SSL.  Instead, we just create a new SSL_CTX struct
(by re-reading all relevant files) whenever we get SIGHUP.  Testing
shows that this is fast enough that it shouldn't be a problem.

In conjunction with that, downgrade the logic that complains about
pg_hba.conf "hostssl" lines when SSL isn't active: now that's just
a warning condition not an error.

An issue that still needs to be addressed is what shall we do with
passphrase-protected server keys?  As this stands, the server would
demand the passphrase again on every SIGHUP, which is certainly
impractical.  But the case was only barely supported before, so that
does not seem a sufficient reason to hold up committing this patch.

The advantage of clock_gettime() is that the API allows the result to
be precise to nanoseconds, not just microseconds as in gettimeofday().
Now that it's routinely possible to do tens of plan node executions
in 1us, we really need more precision than gettimeofday() can offer
for EXPLAIN ANALYZE to accumulate statistics with.

Some research shows that clock_gettime() is available on pretty nearly
every modern Unix-ish platform, and as far as I have been able to test,
it has about the same execution time as gettimeofday(), so there's no
loss in switching over.  (By the same token, this doesn't do anything
to fix the fact that we really wish clock readings were faster.  But
there's enough win here to justify changing anyway.)

A small side benefit is that on most platforms, we can use CLOCK_MONOTONIC
instead of CLOCK_REALTIME and thereby render EXPLAIN impervious to
concurrent resets of the system clock.  (This means that code must not
assume that the contents of struct instr_time have any well-defined
interpretation as timestamps, but really that was true before.)

Some platforms offer nonstandard clock IDs that might be of interest.
This patch knows we should use CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW on macOS, because it
provides more precision and is faster to read than their CLOCK_MONOTONIC.
If there turn out to be many more cases where we need special rules, it
might be appropriate to handle the selection of clock ID in configure,
but for the moment that doesn't seem worth the trouble.

For aggregated logging, pg_bench supposed that printing the integer part of
INSTR_TIME_GET_DOUBLE() would produce a Unix timestamp.  That was already
broken on Windows, and it's about to get broken on most other platforms as
well.  As in commit 74baa1e3, we can remove the entanglement at the price
of one extra syscall per transaction; though here it seems more convenient
to use time(NULL) instead of gettimeofday(), since we only need
integral-second precision.

I took the time to do some wordsmithing on the documentation about
pgbench's logging features, too.

Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/8837.1483216839@sss.pgh.pa.us

This code was presuming undue familiarity with the contents of the
instr_time struct.  That was already broken on Windows, and it's about
to get broken on most other platforms as well.  The simplest solution
that preserves the current output definition is to just do our own
gettimeofday() call here.  Realistically, the extra cost is probably
negligible in comparison to everything else that's going on in a
pgbench transaction, so it's not worth sweating over.

On Windows, the precision delivered by gettimeofday() is lower than
one could wish, but this is still a big improvement over printing
zeroes, as the code did before.
