Before, make check-world would create a new temporary installation for
each test suite, which is slow and wasteful.  Instead, we now create one
test installation that is used by all test suites that are part of a
make run.

The management of the temporary installation is removed from pg_regress
and handled in the makefiles.  This allows for better control, and
unifies the code with that of test suites not run through pg_regress.

Commit a2e35b53 neglected to update the type OID to use further
down in DefineType when TypeShellMake was changed to return
ObjectAddress instead of OID (it got it right in DefineRange, however.)
This resulted in an internal error message being issued when looking up
I/O functions.

Author: Michael Paquier

Also add Asserts() to a couple of other places to ensure that the type
OID being used is as expected.

As pointed out by the buildfarm, test_rls_hooks wasn't functioning
properly with a clean installcheck.  test_rls_hooks needs to explicitly
load the library with the hooks in it, to allow installcheck to work;
using the --temp-config doesn't help since that isn't used when running
installcheck and it isn't exactly fair to the buildfarm to modify the
installed config prior to calling installcheck.

Also, have test_rls_hooks clean up after itself.

In prepend_row_security_policies(), defaultDeny was always true, so if
there were any hook policies, the RLS policies on the table would just
get discarded.  Fixed to start off with defaultDeny as false and then
properly set later if we detect that only the default deny policy exists
for the internal policies.

The infinite recursion detection in fireRIRrules() didn't properly
manage the activeRIRs list in the case of WCOs, so it would incorrectly
report infinite recusion if the same relation with RLS appeared more
than once in the rtable, for example "UPDATE t ... FROM t ...".

Further, the RLS expansion code in fireRIRrules() was handling RLS in
the main loop through the rtable, which lead to RTEs being visited twice
if they contained sublink subqueries, which
prepend_row_security_policies() attempted to handle by exiting early if
the RTE already had securityQuals.  That doesn't work, however, since
if the query involved a security barrier view on top of a table with
RLS, the RTE would already have securityQuals (from the view) by the
time fireRIRrules() was invoked, and so the table's RLS policies would
be ignored.  This is fixed in fireRIRrules() by handling RLS in a
separate loop at the end, after dealing with any other sublink
subqueries, thus ensuring that each RTE is only visited once for RLS
expansion.

The inheritance planner code didn't correctly handle non-target
relations with RLS, which would get turned into subqueries during
planning. Thus an update of the form "UPDATE t1 ... FROM t2 ..." where
t1 has inheritance and t2 has RLS quals would fail.  Fix by making sure
to copy in and update the securityQuals when they exist for non-target
relations.

process_policies() was adding WCOs to non-target relations, which is
unnecessary, and could lead to a lot of wasted time in the rewriter and
the planner. Fix by only adding WCO policies when working on the result
relation.  Also in process_policies, we should be copying the USING
policies to the WITH CHECK policies on a per-policy basis, fix by moving
the copying up into the per-policy loop.

Lastly, as noted by Dean, we were simply adding policies returned by the
hook provided to the list of quals being AND'd, meaning that they would
actually restrict records returned and there was no option to have
internal policies and hook-based policies work together permissively (as
all internal policies currently work).  Instead, explicitly add support
for both permissive and restrictive policies by having a hook for each
and combining the results appropriately.  To ensure this is all done
correctly, add a new test module (test_rls_hooks) to test the various
combinations of internal, permissive, and restrictive hook policies.

As noted by Etsuro Fujita [1] and Dean Rasheed[2],
cb1ca4d8 changed ExecBuildAuxRowMark()
to always look for the tableoid in the target list, but didn't also
change preprocess_targetlist() to always include the tableoid.  This
resulted in errors with soon-to-be-added RLS with inheritance tests,
and errors when using inheritance with foreign tables.

There were a couple of hard-coded sleeps in the tests: to wait for standby
to catch up with master, and to wait for promotion with "pg_ctl promote"
to complete. Instead of a fixed, hard-coded sleep, poll the server with a
query once a second. This isn't ideal either, and I wish we had a better
solution for real-world applications too, but this should fix the
immediate problem.

Right now it is visible whether a replication slot is active in any
session, but not in which.  Adding the active_in column, containing the
pid of the backend having acquired the slot, makes it much easier to
associate pg_replication_slots entries with the corresponding
pg_stat_replication/pg_stat_activity row.

This should have been done from the start, but I (Andres) dropped the
ball there somehow.

The USING policies were not being checked for differences as the same
policy was being passed in to both sides of the equal().  This could
result in backends not realizing that a policy had been changed, if
none of the other attributes had been changed.

Fix by passing to equal() the policy1 and policy2 using quals for
comparison.

No need to back-patch as this is not yet released.  Noticed while
testing changes to RLS proposed by Dean Rasheed.

Logical decoding set SnapshotData's regd_count field to avoid the
snapshot manager from prematurely freeing snapshots that are generated
by the decoding system. That was always an abuse of the field, as it was
never supposed to be used outside the snapshot manager. Commit 94028691
made snapshot manager's tracking of the snapshots smarter, and that scheme
fell apart. The snapshot manager got confused and hit the assertion, when
a snapshot that was marked with regd_count==1 was not found in the heap,
where the snapshot manager tracks registered the snapshots.

To fix, don't abuse the regd_count field like that. Logical decoding still
abuses the active_count field for similar purposes, but that's currently
harmless.

A "file not found" is expected if the source server is running, so don't
complain about that. But any other error is definitely not expected.

Update comments and function names to use the terms "source" and "target"
consistently. Some places were calling them remote and local instead, which
was confusing.

Fix incorrect comment in extractPageInfo on database creation record - it
was wrong on what happens for databases created in the target that don't
exist in source.

Now that the test servers are initialized twice in each .pl script,
the single END block is not enough to stop them. Add a new clean_rewind_test
function that is called at the end of each test.

After the WAL format changes, the calculation of the size of a checkpoint
record became incorrect. Instead of trying to fix the math, check that the
previous record, i.e. the xl_prev value that we'd write for the next
record, matches the last checkpoint's redo pointer. That way it's not
dependent on the size of the checkpoint record at all.

The old logic was actually slightly wrong all along: if the previous
checkpoint record crossed a page boundary, the page headers threw off the
record size calculation, and the checkpoint was not skipped. The new
checkpoint would not cross a page boundary, so this only resulted in at
most one extra checkpoint after the system became idle. The new logic fixes
that. (It's not worth fixing in backbranches).

However, it makes some sense to try to keep the latest checkpoint contained
fully in a page, or at least in a single WAL segment, just on general
robustness grounds. If something goes awfully wrong, it's more likely that
you can recover the latest WAL segment, than the last two WAL segments. So
I added an extra check that the checkpoint is not skipped if the previous
checkpoint crossed a WAL segment.

Previously, these functions were created in a schema "binary_upgrade",
which was deleted after pg_upgrade was finished.  Because we don't want
to keep that schema around permanently, move them to pg_catalog but
rename them with a binary_upgrade_... prefix.

The provided functions are only small wrappers around global variables
that were added specifically for pg_upgrade use, so keeping the module
separate does not create any modularity.

The functions still check that they are only called in binary upgrade
mode, so it is not possible to call these during normal operation.

Eliminate the separate 'len' variable from the loops, and also use the 4
byte instruction. This shaves off a few more cycles. Even though this
routine that uses the special SSE 4.2 instructions is much faster than a
generic routine, it's still a hot spot, so let's make it as fast as
possible.

Change the configure test to not test _mm_crc32_u64. That variant is only
available in the 64-bit x86-64 architecture, not in 32-bit x86. Modify
pg_comp_crc32c_sse42 so that it only uses _mm_crc32_u64 on x86-64. With
these changes, the SSE accelerated CRC-32C implementation can also be used
on 32-bit x86 systems.

This also fixes the 32-bit MSVC build.

I hope this fixes the Windows builfarm failures.

On gcc and clang, the _mm_crc32_u8 and _mm_crc32_u64 intrinsics are not
defined at all, when not building with -msse4.2. But on icc, they are.
So we cannot assume that if those intrinsics are defined, we can always use
them safely, we might still need the runtime check.

To fix, check if the __SSE_4_2__ preprocessor symbol is defined. That's
supposed to be defined only when the compiler is targeting a processor that
has SSE 4.2 support.

SLRU_SEGMENTS_PER_PAGE -> SLRU_PAGES_PER_SEGMENT

I introduced this ancient typo in subtrans.c and later propagated it to
multixact.c.  I fixed the latter in f741300c, but only back to 9.3;
backpatch to all supported branches for consistency.

Modern x86 and x86-64 processors with SSE 4.2 support have special
instructions, crc32b and crc32q, for calculating CRC-32C. They greatly
speed up CRC calculation.

Whether the instructions can be used or not depends on the compiler and the
target architecture. If generation of SSE 4.2 instructions is allowed for
the target (-msse4.2 flag on gcc and clang), use them. If they are not
allowed by default, but the compiler supports the -msse4.2 flag to enable
them, compile just the CRC-32C function with -msse4.2 flag, and check at
runtime whether the processor we're running on supports it. If it doesn't,
fall back to the slicing-by-8 algorithm. (With the common defaults on
current operating systems, the runtime-check variant is what you get in
practice.)

Abhijit Menon-Sen, heavily modified by me, reviewed by Andres Freund.

Now that we use CRC-32C in WAL and the control file, the "traditional" and
"legacy" CRC-32 variants are not used in any frontend programs anymore.
Move the code for those back from src/common to src/backend/utils/hash.

Also move the slicing-by-8 implementation (back) to src/port. This is in
preparation for next patch that will add another implementation that uses
Intel SSE 4.2 instructions to calculate CRC-32C, where available.

* Don't pass arguments to prove, since that's not supported on perl 5.8
which is the minimum version supported by the TAP tests. Refactor the
test files themselves to run the tests twice, in both local and remote mode.

* Use eq rather than == for string comparison. This thinko caused the remote
versions of the tests to never run.

* Add "use strict" and "use warnings", and fix warnings that that produced.

* Increase the delay after standby promotion, to make the tests more robust.

* In remote mode, the connection string to the promoted standby was
incorrect, leading to connection errors.
