Not sure how fffd651e ended up
probing for "strnlenfrak" rather than "strnlen".
My autoconf doesn't do that ...

The previous placement of the fallback implementation in libpgcommon
was problematic, because libpqport functions need strnlen
functionality.

Move replacement into libpgport. Provide strnlen() under its posix
name, instead of pg_strnlen(). Fix stupid configure bug, executing the
test only when compiled with threading support.

As the OS version is likely going to be more optimized, fall back to
it if available, as detected by configure.

Previously nodeProjectSet only released memory once per input tuple,
rather than once per returned tuple. If the computation of an
individual returned tuple requires a lot of memory, that can lead to
problems.

Instead change things so that the expression context can be reset once
per output tuple, which requires a new memory context to store SRF
arguments in.

This is a longstanding issue, but was hard to fix before 9.6, due to
the way tSRFs where evaluated. But it's fairly easy to fix now. We
could backpatch this into 10, but given there've been fewc omplaints
that doesn't seem worth the risk so far.

copy_file() reads and writes data 64KB at a time (with default BLCKSZ),
and historically has issued a pg_flush_data request after each write.
This turns out to interact really badly with macOS's new APFS file
system: a large file copy takes over 100X longer than it ought to on
APFS, as reported by Brent Dearth.  While that's arguably a macOS bug,
it's not clear whether Apple will do anything about it in the near
future, and in any case experimentation suggests that issuing flushes
a bit less often can be helpful on other platforms too.

Hence, rearrange the logic in copy_file() so that flush requests are
issued once per N writes rather than every time through the loop.
I set the FLUSH_DISTANCE to 32MB on macOS (any less than that still
results in a noticeable speed degradation on APFS), but 1MB elsewhere.
In limited testing on Linux and FreeBSD, this seems slightly faster
than the previous code, and certainly no worse.  It helps noticeably
on macOS even with the older HFS filesystem.

A simpler change would have been to just increase the size of the
copy buffer without changing the loop logic, but that seems likely
to trash the processor cache without really helping much.

Back-patch to 9.6 where we introduced msync() as an implementation
option for pg_flush_data().  The problem seems specific to APFS's
mmap/msync support, so I don't think we need to go further back.

If the operator is a strict btree equality operator, and X isn't volatile,
then the clause must yield true for any non-null value of X, or null if X
is null.  At top level of a WHERE clause, we can ignore the distinction
between false and null results, so it's valid to simplify the clause to
"X IS NOT NULL".  This is a useful improvement mainly because we'll get
a far better selectivity estimate in most cases.

Because such cases seldom arise in well-written queries, it is unappetizing
to expend a lot of planner cycles looking for them ... but it turns out
that there's a place we can shoehorn this in practically for free, because
equivclass.c already has to detect and reject candidate equivalences of the
form X = X.  That doesn't catch every place that it would be valid to
simplify to X IS NOT NULL, but it catches the typical case.  Working harder
doesn't seem justified.

The previous coding here trashed the line buffer as it scanned it,
making it impossible to print the source line in subsequent error
messages.  With a few save/restore/strdup pushups we can improve
that situation.

In passing, move the free'ing of the various strings that are collected
while processing one set of tests down to the bottom of the loop.
That's simpler, less surprising, and should make valgrind less unhappy
about the strings that were previously leaked by the last iteration.

We have a very old rule that parallel_schedule should have no more
than twenty tests in any one parallel group, so as to provide a
bound on the number of concurrently running processes needed to
pass the tests.  But people keep forgetting the rule, so let's add
a few lines of code to check it.

The partition_join test was added to a parallel group that was already
at the maximum of 20 concurrent tests.  The hash_func test wasn't
added to serial_schedule at all.  The identity and partition_join tests
were added to serial_schedule with the aid of a dartboard, rather than
maintaining consistency with parallel_schedule.

There are proposals afoot to make these sorts of errors harder to make,
but in the meantime let's fix the ones already in place.

The logical decoding functions do BeginInternalSubTransaction and
RollbackAndReleaseCurrentSubTransaction to clean up after themselves.
It turns out that AtEOSubXact_SPI has an unrecognized assumption that
we always need to cancel the active SPI operation in the SPI context
that surrounds the subtransaction (if there is one).  That's true
when the RollbackAndReleaseCurrentSubTransaction call is coming from
the SPI-using function itself, but not when it's happening inside
some unrelated function invoked by a SPI query.  In practice the
affected callers are the various PLs.

To fix, record the current subtransaction ID when we begin a SPI
operation, and clean up only if that ID is the subtransaction being
canceled.

Also, remove AtEOSubXact_SPI's assertion that it must have cleaned
up the surrounding SPI context's active tuptable.  That's proven
wrong by the same test case.

Also clarify (or, if you prefer, reinterpret) the calling conventions
for _SPI_begin_call and _SPI_end_call.  The memory context cleanup
in the latter means that these have always had the flavor of a matched
resource-management pair, but they weren't documented that way before.

Per report from Ben Chobot.

Back-patch to 9.4 where logical decoding came in.  In principle,
the SPI changes should go all the way back, since the problem dates
back to commit 7ec1c5a8.  But given the lack of field complaints
it seems few people are using internal subtransactions in this way.
So I don't feel a need to take any risks in 9.2/9.3.

When some tuple versions in an update chain are frozen due to them being
older than freeze_min_age, the xmax/xmin trail can become broken.  This
breaks HOT (and probably other things).  A subsequent VACUUM can break
things in more serious ways, such as leaving orphan heap-only tuples
whose root HOT redirect items were removed.  This can be seen because
index creation (or REINDEX) complain like
  ERROR:  XX000: failed to find parent tuple for heap-only tuple at (0,7) in table "t"

Because of relfrozenxid contraints, we cannot avoid the freezing of the
early tuples, so we must cope with the results: whenever we see an Xmin
of FrozenTransactionId, consider it a match for whatever the previous
Xmax value was.

This problem seems to have appeared in 9.3 with multixact changes,
though strictly speaking it seems unrelated.

Since 9.4 we have commit 37484ad2 "Change the way we mark tuples as
frozen", so the fix is simple: just compare the raw Xmin (still stored
in the tuple header, since freezing merely set an infomask bit) to the
Xmax.  But in 9.3 we rewrite the Xmin value to FrozenTransactionId, so
the original value is lost and we have nothing to compare the Xmax with.
To cope with that case we need to compare the Xmin with FrozenXid,
assume it's a match, and hope for the best.  Sadly, since you can
pg_upgrade a 9.3 instance containing half-frozen pages to newer
releases, we need to keep the old check in newer versions too, which
seems a bit brittle; I hope we can somehow get rid of that.

I didn't optimize the new function for performance.  The new coding is
probably a bit slower than before, since there is a function call rather
than a straight comparison, but I'd rather have it work correctly than
be fast but wrong.

This is a followup after 20b65522 fixed a few related problems.
Apparently, in 9.6 and up there are more ways to get into trouble, but
in 9.3 - 9.5 I cannot reproduce a problem anymore with this patch, so
there must be a separate bug.

Instead of joining two partitioned tables in their entirety we can, if
it is an equi-join on the partition keys, join the matching partitions
individually.  This involves teaching the planner about "other join"
rels, which are related to regular join rels in the same way that
other member rels are related to baserels.  This can use significantly
more CPU time and memory than regular join planning, because there may
now be a set of "other" rels not only for every base relation but also
for every join relation.  In most practical cases, this probably
shouldn't be a problem, because (1) it's probably unusual to join many
tables each with many partitions using the partition keys for all
joins and (2) if you do that scenario then you probably have a big
enough machine to handle the increased memory cost of planning and (3)
the resulting plan is highly likely to be better, so what you spend in
planning you'll make up on the execution side.  All the same, for now,
turn this feature off by default.

Currently, we can only perform joins between two tables whose
partitioning schemes are absolutely identical.  It would be nice to
cope with other scenarios, such as extra partitions on one side or the
other with no match on the other side, but that will have to wait for
a future patch.

If the table attached as a partition is itself partitioned, individual
partitions might have constraints strong enough to skip scanning the
table even if the table actually attached does not.  This is pretty
cheap to check, and possibly a big win if it works out.
