When attempting to move an object into the schema in which it already
was, for most objects classes we were correctly complaining about
exactly that ("object is already in schema"); but for some other object
classes, such as functions, we were instead complaining of a name
collision ("object already exists in schema").  The latter is wrong and
misleading, per complaint from Robert Haas in
CA+TgmoZ0+gNf7RDKRc3u5rHXffP=QjqPZKGxb4BsPz65k7qnHQ@mail.gmail.com

To fix, refactor the way these checks are done.  As a bonus, the
resulting code is smaller and can also share some code with Rename
cases.

While at it, remove use of getObjectDescriptionOids() in error messages.
These are normally disallowed because of translatability considerations,
but this one had slipped through since 9.1.  (Not sure that this is
worth backpatching, though, as it would create some untranslated
messages in back branches.)

This is loosely based on a patch by KaiGai Kohei, heavily reworked by
me.

The WAL streaming message format changed in 9.3, so 9.3 pg_basebackup or
pg_receivelog won't work against older servers.

Original coding would corrupt the hashtable if the item being updated was
at the end of its bucket chain and the new hash key hashed to that same
bucket.  Diagnosis and fix by Heikki Linnakangas.

Because the return value of lseek() was assigned to an unsigned size_t
variable, we'd fail to notice an error return code -1. Compiler gave a
warning about this.

This was legal back in the days of add_missing_from, though perhaps
never good style.  It's not legal anymore ...

Dates outside the supported range could be entered, but would not print
reasonably, and operations such as conversion to timestamp wouldn't behave
sanely either.  Since this has the potential to result in undumpable table
data, it seems worth back-patching.

The code in PostPrepare_Locks supposed that it could reassign locks to
the prepared transaction's dummy PGPROC by deleting the PROCLOCK table
entries and immediately creating new ones.  This was safe when that code
was written, but since we invented partitioning of the shared lock table,
it's not safe --- another process could steal away the PROCLOCK entry in
the short interval when it's on the freelist.  Then, if we were otherwise
out of shared memory, PostPrepare_Locks would have to PANIC, since it's
too late to back out of the PREPARE at that point.

Fix by inventing a dynahash.c function to atomically update a hashtable
entry's key.  (This might possibly have other uses in future.)

This is an ancient bug that in principle we ought to back-patch, but the
odds of someone hitting it in the field seem really tiny, because (a) the
risk window is small, and (b) nobody runs servers with maxed-out lock
tables for long, because they'll be getting non-PANIC out-of-memory errors
anyway.  So fixing it in HEAD seems sufficient, at least until the new
code has gotten some testing.

Forgot I was going to do this as part of the previous patch ...

In commit 71450d7f, we added code to inform
suitably-intelligent compilers that ereport() doesn't return if the elevel
is ERROR or higher.  This patch extends that to elog(), and also fixes a
double-evaluation hazard that the previous commit created in ereport(),
as well as reducing the emitted code size.

The elog() improvement requires the compiler to support __VA_ARGS__, which
should be available in just about anything nowadays since it's required by
C99.  But our minimum language baseline is still C89, so add a configure
test for that.

The previous commit assumed that ereport's elevel could be evaluated twice,
which isn't terribly safe --- there are already counterexamples in xlog.c.
On compilers that have __builtin_constant_p, we can use that to protect the
second test, since there's no possible optimization gain if the compiler
doesn't know the value of elevel.  Otherwise, use a local variable inside
the macros to prevent double evaluation.  The local-variable solution is
inferior because (a) it leads to useless code being emitted when elevel
isn't constant, and (b) it increases the optimization level needed for the
compiler to recognize that subsequent code is unreachable.  But it seems
better than not teaching non-gcc compilers about unreachability at all.

Lastly, if the compiler has __builtin_unreachable(), we can use that
instead of abort(), resulting in a noticeable code savings since no
function call is actually emitted.  However, it seems wise to do this only
in non-assert builds.  In an assert build, continue to use abort(), so that
the behavior will be predictable and debuggable if the "impossible"
happens.

These changes involve making the ereport and elog macros emit do-while
statement blocks not just expressions, which forces small changes in
a few call sites.

This is now used by ecpg tests, and not clobbered by pg_upgrade
tests. This change won't affect anything that doesn't set this
environment variable, but will enable the buildfarm to control
exactly what port regression test installs will be running on,
and thus to detect possible rogue postmasters more easily.

Backpatch to release 9.2 where EXTRA_REGRESS_OPTS was first used.

Historically we've used a couple of very ad-hoc fudge factors to try to
get the right results when indexes of different sizes would satisfy a
query with the same number of index leaf tuples being visited.  In
commit 21a39de5 I tweaked one of these
fudge factors, with results that proved disastrous for larger indexes.
Commit bf01e34b fudged it some more,
but still with not a lot of principle behind it.

What seems like a better way to address these issues is to explicitly model
index-descent costs, since that's what's really at stake when considering
diferent indexes with similar leaf-page-level costs.  We tried that once
long ago, and found that charging random_page_cost per page descended
through was way too much, because upper btree levels tend to stay in cache
in real-world workloads.  However, there's still CPU costs to think about,
and the previous fudge factors can be seen as a crude attempt to account
for those costs.  So this patch replaces those fudge factors with explicit
charges for the number of tuple comparisons needed to descend the index
tree, plus a small charge per page touched in the descent.  The cost
multipliers are chosen so that the resulting charges are in the vicinity of
the historical (pre-9.2) fudge factors for indexes of up to about a million
tuples, while not ballooning unreasonably beyond that, as the old fudge
factor did (even more so in 9.2).

To make this work accurately for btree indexes, add some code that allows
extraction of the known root-page height from a btree.  There's no
equivalent number readily available for other index types, but we can use
the log of the number of index pages as an approximate substitute.

This seems like too much of a behavioral change to risk back-patching,
but it should improve matters going forward.  In 9.2 I'll just revert
the fudge-factor change.

I notice that plperl's makefile adds the -I for $perl_archlibexp/CORE
at the end of CPPFLAGS not the beginning.  It seems somewhat unlikely
that the include search order has anything to do with why buildfarm
member okapi is failing, but I'm about out of other ideas.

It appears that perl_embed_ldflags should already mention all the libraries
that are required by libperl.so itself.  So let's try the test link with
just those and not the other LIBS we've found up to now.  This should
more nearly reproduce what will happen when plperl is linked, and perhaps
will fix buildfarm member okapi's problem.

Although most platforms seem to package Perl in such a way that these files
are present even in basic Perl installations, Debian does not.  Hence, make
an effort to fail during configure rather than build if --with-perl was
given and these files are lacking.  Per gripe from Josh Berkus.

This means we can now construct a configure test for the library
presence. Previously these parameters were only figured out at
build time in plperl's GnuMakefile.

This patch implements parallel copying/linking of files by tablespace
using the --jobs option in pg_upgrade.

If VirtualXactLock() has to wait for a transaction that holds its VXID lock
as a fast-path lock, it must first convert the fast-path lock to a regular
lock.  It failed to take the required "partition" lock on the main
shared-memory lock table while doing so.  This is the direct cause of the
assert failure in GetLockStatusData() recently observed in the buildfarm,
but more worryingly it could result in arbitrary corruption of the shared
lock table if some other process were concurrently engaged in modifying the
same partition of the lock table.  Fortunately, VirtualXactLock() is only
used by CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY and DROP INDEX CONCURRENTLY, so the
opportunities for failure are fewer than they might have been.

In passing, improve some comments and be a bit more consistent about
order of operations.

Pre-Lion versions of Apple's linker don't allow space between -F and its
argument.  (Snow Leopard is nice enough to tell you that in so many words,
but older versions just fail with very obscure link errors, as seen on

Adds commandline option -R to pg_basebackup that creates a recovery.conf which

The PL/Python build on OS X was previously hardcoded to use the system
installation of Python, ignoring whatever was specified to configure.
Except that it would use the header files from configure, which could
lead to mismatches.  It was not possible to build against a custom
Python installation.

Now, we check in configure how the specified Python installation was
built and use that, supporting framework and non-framework builds.

This reverts commit be0dfbad.

The previous information that Py_RETURN_TRUE and Py_RETURN_FALSE are
supported in Python 2.3 is wrong.  They require Python 2.4.  Update the
comment about that.

Parameter defaults are actually in the SQL standard, while it was
previously claimed they were not.

SPI_execute() and related functions create a CachedPlan, execute it once,
and immediately discard it, so that the functionality offered by
plancache.c is of no value in this code path.  And performance measurements
show that the extra data copying and invalidation checking done by
plancache.c slows down simple queries by 10% or more compared to 9.1.
However, enough of the SPI code is shared with functions that do need plan
caching that it seems impractical to bypass plancache.c altogether.
Instead, let's invent a variant version of cached plans that preserves
99% of the API but doesn't offer any of the actual functionality, nor the
overhead.  This puts SPI_execute() performance back on par, or maybe even
slightly better, than it was before.  This change should resolve recent
complaints of performance degradation from Dong Ye, Pavel Stehule, and
others.

By avoiding data copying, this change also reduces the amount of memory
needed to execute many-statement SPI_execute() strings, as for instance in
a recent complaint from Tomas Vondra.

An additional benefit of this change is that multi-statement SPI_execute()
query strings are now processed fully serially, that is we complete
execution of earlier statements before running parse analysis and planning
on following ones.  This eliminates a long-standing POLA violation, in that
DDL that affects the behavior of a later statement will now behave as
expected.

Back-patch to 9.2, since this was a performance regression compared to 9.1.
(In 9.2, place the added struct fields so as to avoid changing the offsets
of existing fields.)

On non-Windows machines, we use the Unix socket for connections to test
postmasters, so there is no need to create a TCP socket.  Furthermore,
doing so causes failures due to port conflicts if two builds are carried
out concurrently on one machine.  (If the builds are done in different
chroots, which is standard practice at least in Red Hat distros, there
is no risk of conflict on the Unix socket.)  Suppressing the TCP socket
by setting listen_addresses to empty has long been standard practice
for pg_regress, and pg_upgrade knows about this too ... but pg_upgrade's
test.sh didn't get the memo.

Back-patch to 9.2, and also sync the 9.2 version of the script with HEAD
as much as practical.

If you take a base backup from a standby server with "pg_basebackup -X
fetch", and the timeline switches while the backup is being taken, the
backup used to fail with an error "requested WAL segment %s has already
been removed". This is because the server-side code that sends over the
required WAL files would not construct the WAL filename with the correct
timeline after a switch.

Fix that by using readdir() to scan pg_xlog for all the WAL segments in the
range, regardless of timeline.

Also, include all timeline history files in the backup, if taken with
"-X fetch". That fixes another related bug: If a timeline switch happened
just before the backup was initiated in a standby, the WAL segment
containing the initial checkpoint record contains WAL from the older
timeline too. Recovery will not accept that without a timeline history file
that lists the older timeline.

Backpatch to 9.2. Versions prior to that were not affected as you could not
take a base backup from a standby before 9.2.

Streaming replication can fetch any missing timeline history files from the
master, but recovery would read the timeline history file for the target
timeline before reading the checkpoint record, and before walreceiver has
had a chance to fetch it from the master. Delay reading it, and the sanity
checks involving timeline history, until after reading the checkpoint
record.

There is at least one scenario where this makes a difference: if you take
a base backup from a standby server right after a timeline switch, the
WAL segment containing the initial checkpoint record will begin with an
older timeline ID. Without the timeline history file, recovering that file
will fail as the older timeline ID is not recognized to be an ancestor of
the target timeline. If you try to recover from such a backup, using only
streaming replication to fetch the WAL, this patch is required for that to
work.

Adjust pg_upgrade page conversion functions (which are not used) to
return void so transfer_all_new_dbs can return void.

... not on auxiliary processes.  I managed to overlook the fact that I
had disabled assertions on my HEAD checkout long ago.

Hopefully this will turn the buildfarm green again, and put an end to
today's silliness.
