As noted by Tom Lane, the previous coding in this area, which I
introduced in commit bbb6e559, was
poorly tested and caused the vacuum's second heap to go into what would
have been an infinite loop but for the fact that it eventually caused a
memory allocation failure.  This version seems to work better.

Previously we used ReadRecPtr rather than EndRecPtr, which was
not a serious error but caused pg_stat_replication to report
incorrect replay_location until at least one WAL record is replayed.

In commit 7b0d0e93, I made CLUSTER and
VACUUM FULL try to preserve toast value OIDs from the original toast table
to the new one.  However, if we have to copy both live and recently-dead
versions of a row that has a toasted column, those versions may well
reference the same toast value with the same OID.  The patch then led to
duplicate-key failures as we tried to insert the toast value twice with the
same OID.  (The previous behavior was not very desirable either, since it
would have silently inserted the same value twice with different OIDs.
That wastes space, but what's worse is that the toast values inserted for
already-dead heap rows would not be reclaimed by subsequent ordinary
VACUUMs, since they go into the new toast table marked live not deleted.)

To fix, check if the copied OID already exists in the new toast table, and
if so, assume that it stores the desired value.  This is reasonably safe
since the only case where we will copy an OID from a previous toast pointer
is when toast_insert_or_update was given that toast pointer and so we just
pulled the data from the old table; if we got two different values that way
then we have big problems anyway.  We do have to assume that no other
backend is inserting items into the new toast table concurrently, but
that's surely safe for CLUSTER and VACUUM FULL.

Per bug #6393 from Maxim Boguk.  Back-patch to 9.0, same as the previous
patch.

The originally-chosen test case gives different results in es_EC locale
because of unusual rule for sorting strings beginning with "LL".  Adjust
the comparison value to avoid that, while hopefully not introducing new
locale dependencies elsewhere.  Per report from Jaime Casanova.

A permutation that specifies more steps than defined causes
isolationtester to crash, so avoid that.  Using less steps than defined
should probably not be a problem, but no spec currently does that.

passed as 'true'.

constructed before acquiring WALInsertLock, which slightly reduces the time
the lock is held. Although I could not measure any benefit in benchmarks,
the code is more readable this way.

Composite types are not yet supported, because parserOpenTable()
rejects them.

The original coding examined the next character before verifying that
there *is* a next character.  In the worst case with the input buffer
right up against the end of memory, this would result in a segfault.

Problem spotted by Paul Guyot; this commit extends his patch to fix an
additional case.  In addition, make the code a tad more readable by not
overloading the usage of *tlen.

Point out in the compatibility section that granting grant options to
PUBLIC is not supported by PostgreSQL.  This is already mentioned
earlier, but since it concerns the information schema, it might be
worth pointing out explicitly as a compatibility issue.

Teach pg_basebackup in streaming mode to deal with keepalive messages.
Also change the order of checks to complain at the message rather than
block size when a new message is introduced.

In passing, switch to using sizeof() instead of hardcoded sizes for
WAL protocol structs.

The original implementation of this interpreted it as a kind of
"inheritance" facility and named all the internal structures
accordingly.  This turned out to be very confusing, because it has
nothing to do with the INHERITS feature.  So rename all the internal
parser infrastructure, update the comments, adjust the error messages,
and split up the regression tests.

Historically we've used the SWPB instruction for TAS() on ARM, but this
is deprecated and not available on ARMv6 and later.  Instead, make use
of a GCC builtin if available.  We'll still fall back to SWPB if not,
so as not to break existing ports using older GCC versions.

Eventually we might want to try using __sync_lock_test_and_set() on some
other architectures too, but for now that seems to present only risk and
not reward.

Back-patch to all supported versions, since people might want to use any
of them on more recent ARM chips.

This squeezes out a bunch of alignment padding, reducing the size
from 72 to 56 bytes on my machine.  At least in my testing, this
didn't produce any measurable performance improvement, but the space
savings seem like enough justification.

I wrote this code before committing it, but managed not to include it in
the actual commit.

ALTER TABLE (and ALTER VIEW, ALTER SEQUENCE, etc.) now use a
RangeVarGetRelid callback to check permissions before acquiring a table
lock.  We also now use the same callback for all forms of ALTER TABLE,
rather than having separate, almost-identical callbacks for ALTER TABLE
.. SET SCHEMA and ALTER TABLE .. RENAME, and no callback at all for
everything else.

I went ahead and changed the code so that no form of ALTER TABLE works
on foreign tables; you must use ALTER FOREIGN TABLE instead.  In 9.1,
it was possible to use ALTER TABLE .. SET SCHEMA or ALTER TABLE ..
RENAME on a foreign table, but not any other form of ALTER TABLE, which
did not seem terribly useful or consistent.

Patch by me; review by Noah Misch.

Previously, this was hardcoded: we always had 8.  Performance testing
shows that isn't enough, especially on big SMP systems, so we allow it
to scale up as high as 32 when there's adequate memory.  On the flip
side, when shared_buffers is very small, drop the number of CLOG buffers
down to as little as 4, so that we can start the postmaster even
when very little shared memory is available.

Per extensive discussion with Simon Riggs, Tom Lane, and others on
pgsql-hackers.

In commit 6545a901, I removed the mini SQL
lexer that was in pg_backup_db.c, thinking that it had no real purpose
beyond separating COPY data from SQL commands, which purpose had been
obsoleted by long-ago fixes in pg_dump's archive file format.
Unfortunately this was in error: that code was also used to identify
command boundaries in INSERT-style table data, which is run together as a
single string in the archive file for better compressibility.  As a result,
direct-to-database restores from archive files made with --inserts or
--column-inserts fail in our latest releases, as reported by Dick Visser.

To fix, restore the mini SQL lexer, but simplify it by adjusting the
calling logic so that it's only required to cope with INSERT-style table
data, not arbitrary SQL commands.  This allows us to not have to deal with
SQL comments, E'' strings, or dollar-quoted strings, none of which have
ever been emitted by dumpTableData_insert.

Also, fix the lexer to cope with standard-conforming strings, which was the
actual bug that the previous patch was meant to solve.

Back-patch to all supported branches.  The previous patch went back to 8.2,
which unfortunately means that the EOL release of 8.2 contains this bug,
but I don't think we're doing another 8.2 release just because of that.

As noted by Heikki Linnakangas, the previous coding confused the "flags"
variable with the "mask" variable.  The affect of this appears to be that
unlogged buffers would get written out at every checkpoint rather than
only at shutdown time.  Although that's arguably an acceptable failure
mode, I'm back-patching this change, since it seems like a poor idea to
rely on this happening to work.

Apparently the perl garbage collector was a bit too eager, so here
we control when the new SV is garbage collected.

Dump them using line breaks and indentation instead of everything on
one line.

pg_dump sorts operators by name, but operators with the same name come
out in random order.  Now operators with the same name are dumped in
the order prefix, postfix, infix.  (This is consistent with functions,
which are dumped in increasing number of argument order.)

ALTER DOMAIN / DROP CONSTRAINT on a nonexistent constraint name did
not report any error.  Now it reports an error.  The IF EXISTS option
was added to get the usual behavior of ignoring nonexistent objects to
drop.

Certain things like typeglobs or readonly things like $^V cause
perl's SvPVutf8() to die nastily and crash the backend. To avoid
that bug we make a copy of the object, which will subsequently be
garbage collected.

Back patched to 9.1 where we first started using SvPVutf8().

Per -hackers discussion. Original problem reported by David Wheeler.

This list is now freed when the last connection has been closed.

Closes: #6366

As previously coded, the QueryDesc's dest pointer was left dangling
(pointing at an already-freed receiver object) after ExecutorEnd.  It's a
bit astonishing that it took us this long to notice, and I'm not sure that
the known problem case with SQL functions is the only one.  Fix it by
saving and restoring the original receiver pointer, which seems the most
bulletproof way of ensuring any related bugs are also covered.

Per bug #6379 from Paul Ramsey.  Back-patch to 8.4 where the current
handling of SELECT INTO was introduced.

Further testing convinces me that this is helpful at sufficiently high
contention levels, though it's still worrisome that it loses slightly
at lower contention levels.

Per Manabu Ori.
