The previous definitions of these GUC variables allowed them to range
up to INT_MAX, but in point of fact the underlying code would suffer
overflows or other errors with large values.  Reduce the maximum values
to something that won't misbehave.  There's no apparent value in working
harder than this, since very large delays aren't sensible for any of
these.  (Note: the risk with archive_timeout is that if we're late
checking the state, the timestamp difference it's being compared to
might overflow.  So we need some amount of slop; the choice of INT_MAX/2
is arbitrary.)

Per followup investigation of bug #7670.  Although this isn't a very
significant fix, might as well back-patch.

We need to avoid calling WaitLatch with timeouts exceeding INT_MAX.
Fortunately a simple clamp will do the trick, since no harm is done if
the wait times out before it's really time to rotate the log file.
Per bug #7670 (probably bug #7545 is the same thing, too).

In passing, fix bogus definition of log_rotation_age's maximum value in
guc.c --- it was numerically right, but only because MINS_PER_HOUR and
SECS_PER_MINUTE have the same value.

Back-patch to 9.2.  Before that, syslogger wasn't using WaitLatch.

The behavior with larger values is unspecified by the Single Unix Spec.
It appears that BSD-derived kernels report EINVAL, although Linux does not.
If waiting for longer intervals is desired, the calling code has to do
something to limit the delay; we can't portably fix it here since "long"
may not be any wider than "int" in the first place.

Part of response to bug #7670, though this change doesn't fix that
(in fact, it converts the problem from an ERROR into an Assert failure).
No back-patch since it's just an assertion addition.

Traditionally check_partial_indexes() has only looked at restriction
clauses while trying to prove partial indexes usable in queries.  However,
join clauses can also be used in some cases; mainly, that a strict operator
on "x" proves an "x IS NOT NULL" index predicate, even if the operator is
in a join clause rather than a restriction clause.  Adding this code fixes
a regression in 9.2, because previously we would take join clauses into
account when considering whether a partial index could be used in a
nestloop inner indexscan path.  9.2 doesn't handle nestloop inner
indexscans in the same way, and this consideration was overlooked in the
rewrite.  Moving the work to check_partial_indexes() is a better solution
anyway, since the proof applies whether or not we actually use the index
in that particular way, and we don't have to do it over again for each
possible outer relation.  Per report from Dave Cramer.

existence via open(), rather than collecting a directory listing and
looking up matching relfilenode files with sequential scans of the
array.  This speeds up pg_upgrade by 2x for a large number of tables,
e.g. 16k.

Per observation by Ants Aasma.

The correct answer for this (or any other case with arg2 = -1) is zero,
but some machines throw a floating-point exception instead of behaving
sanely.  Commit f9ac414c dealt with this
in int4mod, but overlooked the fact that it also happens in int8mod
(at least on my Linux x86_64 machine).  Protect int2mod as well; it's
not clear whether any machines fail there (mine does not) but since the
test is so cheap it seems better safe than sorry.  While at it, simplify
the original guard in int4mod: we need only check for arg2 == -1, we
don't need to check arg1 explicitly.

record_out() leaks memory: it fails to free the strings returned by the
per-column output functions, and also is careless about detoasted values.
This results in a query-lifespan memory leakage when returning composite
values to the client, because printtup() runs the output functions in the
query-lifespan memory context.  Fix it to handle these issues the same way
printtup() does.  Also fix a similar leakage in record_send().

(At some point we might want to try to run output functions in
shorter-lived memory contexts, so that we don't need a zero-leakage policy
for them.  But that would be a significantly more invasive patch, which
doesn't seem like material for back-patching.)

In passing, use appendStringInfoCharMacro instead of appendStringInfoChar
in the innermost data-copying loop of record_out, to try to shave a few
cycles from this function's runtime.

Per trouble report from Carlos Henrique Reimer.  Back-patch to all
supported versions.

At commit all standby locks are released
for the top-level transaction, so searching
for locks for each subtransaction is both
pointless and costly (N^2) in the presence
of many AccessExclusiveLocks.

Most of the replay functions for WAL record types that modify more than
one page failed to ensure that those pages were locked correctly to ensure
that concurrent queries could not see inconsistent page states.  This is
a hangover from coding decisions made long before Hot Standby was added,
when it was hardly necessary to acquire buffer locks during WAL replay
at all, let alone hold them for carefully-chosen periods.

The key problem was that RestoreBkpBlocks was written to hold lock on each
page restored from a full-page image for only as long as it took to update
that page.  This was guaranteed to break any WAL replay function in which
there was any update-ordering constraint between pages, because even if the
nominal order of the pages is the right one, any mixture of full-page and
non-full-page updates in the same record would result in out-of-order
updates.  Moreover, it wouldn't work for situations where there's a
requirement to maintain lock on one page while updating another.  Failure
to honor an update ordering constraint in this way is thought to be the
cause of bug #7648 from Daniel Farina: what seems to have happened there
is that a btree page being split was rewritten from a full-page image
before the new right sibling page was written, and because lock on the
original page was not maintained it was possible for hot standby queries to
try to traverse the page's right-link to the not-yet-existing sibling page.

To fix, get rid of RestoreBkpBlocks as such, and instead create a new
function RestoreBackupBlock that restores just one full-page image at a
time.  This function can be invoked by WAL replay functions at the points
where they would otherwise perform non-full-page updates; in this way, the
physical order of page updates remains the same no matter which pages are
replaced by full-page images.  We can then further adjust the logic in
individual replay functions if it is necessary to hold buffer locks
for overlapping periods.  A side benefit is that we can simplify the
handling of concurrency conflict resolution by moving that code into the
record-type-specfic functions; there's no more need to contort the code
layout to keep conflict resolution in front of the RestoreBkpBlocks call.

In connection with that, standardize on zero-based numbering rather than
one-based numbering for referencing the full-page images.  In HEAD, I
removed the macros XLR_BKP_BLOCK_1 through XLR_BKP_BLOCK_4.  They are
still there in the header files in previous branches, but are no longer
used by the code.

In addition, fix some other bugs identified in the course of making these
changes:

spgRedoAddNode could fail to update the parent downlink at all, if the
parent tuple is in the same page as either the old or new split tuple and
we're not doing a full-page image: it would get fooled by the LSN having
been advanced already.  This would result in permanent index corruption,
not just transient failure of concurrent queries.

Also, ginHeapTupleFastInsert's "merge lists" case failed to mark the old
tail page as a candidate for a full-page image; in the worst case this
could result in torn-page corruption.

heap_xlog_freeze() was inconsistent about using a cleanup lock or plain
exclusive lock: it did the former in the normal path but the latter for a
full-page image.  A plain exclusive lock seems sufficient, so change to
that.

Also, remove gistRedoPageDeleteRecord(), which has been dead code since
VACUUM FULL was rewritten.

Back-patch to 9.0, where hot standby was introduced.  Note however that 9.0
had a significantly different WAL-logging scheme for GIST index updates,
and it doesn't appear possible to make that scheme safe for concurrent hot
standby queries, because it can leave inconsistent states in the index even
between WAL records.  Given the lack of complaints from the field, we won't
work too hard on fixing that branch.

This way it works more like the DSSSL build, and dependencies are
tracked better by make.

Also copy the CSS stylesheet to the html directory.  This was forgotten
when the output directory was changed.

As pointed out by Alvaro.

errcontext() is typically used in an error context callback function, not
within an ereport() invocation like e.g errmsg and errdetail are. That means
that the message domain that the TEXTDOMAIN magic in ereport() determines
is not the right one for the errcontext() calls. The message domain needs to
be determined by the C file containing the errcontext() call, not the file
containing the ereport() call.

Fix by turning errcontext() into a macro that passes the TEXTDOMAIN to use
for the errcontext message. "errcontext" was used in a few places as a
variable or struct field name, I had to rename those out of the way, now
that errcontext is a macro.

We've had this problem all along, but this isn't doesn't seem worth
backporting. It's a fairly minor issue, and turning errcontext from a
function to a macro requires at least a recompile of any external code that
calls errcontext().

At least clang 3.1 generates those warnings. Prepend (void) to avoid them,
like we have in AssertMacro.

Since transformSetOperationTree() recurses, it can be driven to stack
overflow with enough UNION/INTERSECT/EXCEPT clauses in a query.  Add a
check to ensure it fails cleanly instead of crashing.  Per report from
Matthew Gerber (though it's not clear whether this is the only thing
going wrong for him).

Historical note: I think the reasoning behind not putting a check here in
the beginning was that the check in transformExpr() ought to be sufficient
to guard the whole parser.  However, because transformSetOperationTree()
recurses all the way to the bottom of the set-operation tree before doing
any analysis of the statement's expressions, that check doesn't save it.

This code was refactored in d5497b95 but an extra LWLockRelease call was
left behind.

Per report from Erik Rijkers

Some versions of the XSLT stylesheets don't handle the missing slash
correctly (they concatenate directory and file name without the slash).
This might never have worked correctly.

If the sleep is interrupted by a signal, we must recompute the remaining
time to wait; otherwise, a steady stream of non-wait-terminating interrupts
could delay return from WaitLatch indefinitely.  This has been shown to be
a problem for the autovacuum launcher, and there may well be other places
now or in the future with similar issues.  So we'd better make the function
robust, even though this'll add at least one gettimeofday call per wait.

Back-patch to 9.2.  We might eventually need to fix 9.1 as well, but the
code is quite different there, and the usage of WaitLatch in 9.1 is so
limited that it's not clearly important to do so.

Reported and diagnosed by Jeff Janes, though I rewrote his patch rather
heavily.

This function currently lacks the option to throw error if the provided
targetlist doesn't have any matching entry for a Var to be replaced.
Two of the four existing call sites would be better off with an error,
as would the usage in the pending auto-updatable-views patch, so it seems
past time to extend the API to support that.  To do so, replace the "event"
parameter (historically of type CmdType, though it was declared plain int)
with a special-purpose enum type.

It's unclear whether this function might be called by third-party code.
Since many C compilers wouldn't warn about a call site continuing to use
the old calling convention, rename the function to forcibly break any
such code that hasn't been updated.  The old name was none too well chosen
anyhow.

The trigger and rule cases need to split up the input name list, but
they mustn't corrupt the passed-in data structure, since it could be part
of a cached utility-statement parsetree.  Per bug #7641.

Without this, the connection will be killed after timeout if
wal_sender_timeout is set in the server.

Commit 4c9d0901 mistakenly introduced a call to
TransferPredicateLocksToHeapRelation() on an index relation that had
been closed a few lines above.  Moving up an index_open() call that's
below is enough to fix the problem.

Discovered by me while testing an unrelated patch.

logical replication upgrades.

Backpatch to 9.2.

We used to send structs wrapped in CopyData messages, which works as long as
the client and server agree on things like endianess, timestamp format and
alignment. That's good enough for running a standby server, which has to run
on the same platform anyway, but it's useful for tools like pg_receivexlog
to work across platforms.

This breaks protocol compatibility of streaming replication, but we never
promised that to be compatible across versions, anyway.

Backpatch to 9.2.

This case got broken in 8.4 by the addition of an error check that
complains if ALTER TABLE ONLY is used on a table that has children.
We do use ONLY for this situation, but it's okay because the necessary
recursion occurs at a higher level.  So we need to have a separate
flag to suppress recursion without making the error check.

Reported and patched by Pavan Deolasee, with some editorial adjustments by
me.  Back-patch to 8.4, since this is a regression of functionality that
worked in earlier branches.

I'm not sure why commit 1eb1dde0 seems
to have made this start to fail on Cygwin when it never did before ---
but nonetheless, the coding was pretty bogus, and unlike the way we
handle $(X) anywhere else.  Per buildfarm.

In bug #7626, Brian Dunavant exposes a performance problem created by
commit 3b8968f2: that commit attempted to
consider *all* possible combinations of indexable join clauses, but if said
clauses join to enough different relations, there's an exponential increase
in the number of outer-relation sets considered.

In Brian's example, all the clauses come from the same equivalence class,
which means it's redundant to use more than one of them in an indexscan
anyway.  So we can prevent the problem in this class of cases (which is
probably the majority of real examples) by rejecting combinations that
would only serve to add a known-redundant clause.

But that still leaves us exposed to exponential growth of planning time
when the query has a lot of non-equivalence join clauses that are usable
with the same index.  I chose to prevent such cases by setting an upper
limit on the number of relation sets considered, equal to ten times the
number of index clauses considered so far.  (This sliding limit still
allows new relsets to be added on as we move to additional index columns,
which is probably more important than considering even more combinations of
clauses for the previous column.)  This should keep the amount of work done
roughly linear rather than exponential in the apparent query complexity.
This part of the fix is pretty ad-hoc; but without a clearer idea of
real-world cases for which this would result in markedly inferior plans,
it's hard to see how to do better.

Several hacks in certain modes already thought this was a bad idea, so
just disable it globally.
