Harmless, but it's certainly better like this.

Noticed by Andres Freund

This program relies on rm_desc backend routines and the xlogreader
infrastructure to emit human-readable rendering of WAL records.

Include eval costs of local conditions in remote-estimate mode, and don't
assume the remote eval cost is zero in local-estimate mode.  (The best
we can do with that at the moment is to assume a seqscan, which may well
be wildly pessimistic ... but zero won't do at all.)

To get a reasonable local estimate, we need to know the relpages count
for the remote rel, so improve the ANALYZE code to fetch that rather
than just setting the foreign table's relpages field to zero.

Apparently, they need -DBUILDING_DLL for the Assert() declarations to
work correctly.

The optimization to not retrieve unnecessary columns wasn't smart enough.

On reflection this method seems to be exposing an unreasonable amount of
implementation detail.  It wouldn't matter when talking to a remote server
of the identical Postgres version, but it seems likely to make things worse
not better if the remote is a different version with different casting
infrastructure.  Instead adopt ruleutils.c's policy of regurgitating the
cast as it was originally specified; including not showing it at all, if
it was implicit to start with.  (We must do that because for some datatypes
explicit and implicit casts have different semantics.)

The only place we depended on that was in sending numeric type OIDs in
PQexecParams; but we can replace that usage with explicitly casting
each Param symbol in the query string, so that the types are specified
to the remote by name not OID.  This makes no immediate difference but
will be essential if we ever hope to support use of non-builtin types.

We must still initialize minRecoveryPoint if we start straight with archive
recovery, e.g when recovering from a normal base backup taken with
pg_start/stop_backup. Otherwise we never consider the system consistent.

Set the remote session's search path to exactly "pg_catalog" at session
start, then schema-qualify only names that aren't in that schema.  This
greatly reduces clutter in the generated SQL commands, as seen in the
regression test changes.  Per discussion.

Also, rethink use of FirstNormalObjectId as the "built-in object" cutoff
--- FirstBootstrapObjectId is safer, since the former will accept
objects in information_schema for instance.

If you create a base backup using an atomic filesystem snapshot, and try to
perform PITR starting from that base backup, or if you just kill a master
server and create recovery.conf to put it into standby mode, we don't know
how far we need to recover before reaching consistency. Normally in crash
recovery, we replay all the WAL present in pg_xlog, and assume that we're
consistent after that. And normally in archive recovery, minRecoveryPoint,
backupEndRequired, or backupEndPoint is set in the control file, indicating
how far we need to replay to reach consistency. But if the server was
previously up and running normally, and you kill -9 it or take an atomic
filesystem snapshot, none of those fields are set in the control file.

The solution is to perform crash recovery first, replaying all the WAL in
pg_xlog. After that's done, we assume that the system is consistent like in
normal crash recovery, and switch to archive recovery mode after that.

Per report from Kyotaro HORIGUCHI. In his scenario, recovery.conf was
created after "pg_ctl stop -m i". I'm not sure we need to support that exact
scenario, but we should support backing up using a filesystem snapshot,
which looks identical.

This issue goes back to at least 9.0, where hot standby was introduced and
we started to track when consistency is reached. In 9.1 and 9.2, we would
open up for hot standby too early, and queries could briefly see an
inconsistent state. But 9.2 made it more visible, as we started to PANIC if
we see a reference to a non-existing page during recovery, if we've already
reached consistency. This is a fairly big patch, so back-patch to 9.2 only,
where the issue is more visible. We can consider back-patching further after
this has received some more testing in 9.2 and master.

This enables non-backend code, such as pg_xlogdump, to use it easily.
The previous location, in src/backend/catalog/catalog.c, made that
essentially impossible because that file depends on many backend-only
facilities; so this needs to live separately.

There's still a lot of room for improvement, but it basically works,
and we need this to be present before we can do anything much with the
writable-foreign-tables patch.  So let's commit it and get on with testing.

If a database name contained a '=' character, pg_dumpall failed. The problem
was in the way pg_dumpall passes the database name to pg_dump on the
command line. If it contained a '=' character, pg_dump would interpret it
as a libpq connection string instead of a plain database name.

To fix, pass the database name to pg_dump as a connection string,
"dbname=foo", with the database name escaped if necessary.

It needs to be defined in the backend even when assertions are not
enabled.  It's cleaner to put it back, than create a separate #ifdef
section in c.h.

Per trouble report from Jeff Janes

We now write one file per database and one global file, instead of
having the whole thing in a single huge file.  This reduces the I/O that
must be done when partial data is required -- which is all the time,
because each process only needs information on its own database anyway.
Also, the autovacuum launcher does not need data about tables and
functions in each database; having the global stats for all DBs is
enough.

Catalog version bumped because we have a new subdir under PGDATA.

Add code to detect and warn about trying to initdb or create pg_xlog on

Revert my earlier fix for the bug that unarchived WAL files get deleted on
crash recovery, commit c9cc7e05. We create
a .done file for files streamed or restored from archive, so the WAL file
recycling logic used during normal operation works just as well during
archive recovery.

Per Fujii Masao's suggestion.

This is a forward-patch of commit 6f4b8a4f4f7a2d683ff79ab59d3693714b965e3d,
applied to 9.2 back in August. The plan was to do something else in master,
but it looks like it's not going to happen, so let's just apply the 9.2
solution to master as well.

Bug reported by Jehan-Guillaume (ioguix) de Rorthais. This was introduced
with the change to keep WAL files restored from archive in pg_xlog, in 9.2.

The previous order of steps didn't literally work, because git clean
-fdx would delete the downloaded typedefs.list.  Also, pgindent needs to
be called with a path when one is in at the top of the build tree.

Currently it's only possible for loadable modules to get control during
post-commit cleanup of a transaction.  That doesn't work too well if they
want to do something that could throw an error; for example, an FDW might
need to issue a remote commit, which could well fail.  To improve matters,
extend the existing APIs for XactCallback and SubXactCallback functions
to provide new pre-commit events for this purpose.

The release notes will need to mention that existing callback functions
should be checked to make sure they don't do something unwanted when one
of the new event types occurs.  In the examples within our source tree,
contrib/sepgsql was fine but plpgsql had been a bit too cute.

If users create tablespaces inside the old cluster directory, it is
impossible for the delete script to delete _only_ the old cluster files,
so don't create a script in that case, and issue a message to the user.

Recent pg_upgrade parallel improvements introduced a bug that prevented
cleanup of per-database log files.

Revert commit ab0f7b60 (in HEAD only)
in favor of the proper solution, which is to declare enum_recv() correctly
in the system catalogs.  It should be declared to take type "internal"
not "cstring".

Also improve the type_sanity regression test, which should have caught
this typo, so that it actually would.  Most of the relevant checks on
the signature of type I/O functions should not have been restricted to
basetypes/pseudotypes, as they should apply to any type's I/O functions.

Cases such as similarity('', '') produced a NaN result due to computing
0/0.  Per discussion, make it return zero instead.

This appears to be the basic cause of bug #7867 from Michele Baravalle,
although it remains unclear why her installation doesn't think Cyrillic
letters are letters.

Since a backend adds itself to the global listener array during
Exec_ListenPreCommit, it's inappropriate for it to remove itself during
Exec_UnlistenCommit or Exec_UnlistenAllCommit --- that leads to failure
when committing a transaction that did UNLISTEN then LISTEN, since we end
up not registered though we should be.  (This leads to missing later
notifications, or to Assert failures in assert-enabled builds.)  Instead
deal with deregistering at the bottom of AtCommit_Notify, when we know the
final state of the listenChannels list.

Also, simplify the representation of registration status by replacing the
transient backendHasExecutedInitialListen flag with an amRegisteredListener
flag.

Per report from Greg Sabino Mullane.  Back-patch to 9.0, where the problem
was introduced during the LISTEN/NOTIFY rewrite.

There's a high chance that a page becomes all-visible when the second phase
of vacuum removes all the dead tuples on it, so it makes sense to check for
that. Otherwise the visibility map won't get updated until the next vacuum.

The former name collides with a symbol also used in the isolation test's
parser, causing assorted failures in certain platforms.

It's empty, and some archivers do not support that case.

libpgcommon is a new static library to allow sharing code among the
various frontend programs and backend; this lets us eliminate duplicate
implementations of common routines.  We avoid libpgport, because that's
intended as a place for porting issues; per discussion, it seems better
to keep them separate.

The first use case, and the only implemented by this patch, is pg_malloc
and friends, which many frontend programs were already using.

At the same time, we can use this to provide palloc emulation functions
for the frontend; this way, some palloc-using files in the backend can
also be used by the frontend cleanly.  To do this, we change palloc() in
the backend to be a function instead of a macro on top of
MemoryContextAlloc().  This was previously believed to cause loss of
performance, but this implementation has been tweaked by Tom and Andres
so that on modern compilers it provides a slight improvement over the
previous one.

This lets us clean up some places that were already with
localized hacks.

Most of the pg_malloc/palloc changes in this patch were authored by
Andres Freund. Zoltán Böszörményi also independently provided a form of
that.  libpgcommon infrastructure was authored by Álvaro.

The reason this wasn't supported before was that GiST indexes need an
increasing sequence to detect concurrent page-splits. In a regular WAL-
logged GiST index, the LSN of the page-split record is used for that
purpose, and in a temporary index, we can get away with a backend-local
counter. Neither of those methods works for an unlogged relation.

To provide such an increasing sequence of numbers, create a "fake LSN"
counter that is saved and restored across shutdowns. On recovery, unlogged
relations are blown away, so the counter doesn't need to survive that
either.

Jeevan Chalke, based on discussions with Robert Haas, Tom Lane and me.

The intention was to request a regular online checkpoint immediately after
end of recovery, when performing "fast promotion". However, because the
checkpoint was requested before other backends were allowed to write WAL,
the checkpointer process performed a restartpoint rather than a checkpoint.

Delay the RequestCheckPoint call until after recovery has truly ended, so
that you get a real checkpoint.
