It is now easier to see that it's a state machine, making the code easier
to understand overall.

Normally each module is tested in aq database named contrib_regression,
which is dropped and recreated at the beginhning of each pg_regress run.
This mode, enabled by adding USE_MODULE_DB=1 to the make command line,
runs most modules in a database with the module name embedded in it.

This will make testing pg_upgrade on clusters with the contrib modules
a lot easier.

Still to be done: adapt to the MSVC build system.

Backpatch to 9.0, which is the earliest version it is reasonably possible
to test upgrading from.

DST law changes in Cuba, Israel, Jordan, Libya, Palestine, Western Samoa,
and portions of Brazil.

We've generally recommended use of INSTEAD triggers over rules since that
feature was added; but this old text in the CREATE VIEW reference page
didn't get the memo.  Noted by Thomas Kellerer.

Allow support only for freezing tuples by explicit
command. Previous coding mistakenly extended
slightly beyond what was agreed as correct on -hackers.
So essentially a partial revoke of earlier work,
leaving just the COPY FREEZE command.

This reverts commit c1113069 in favor of
actually fixing the problem: namely, that we should never have been
modifying the checkpoint record's nextXid at this point to begin with.
The nextXid should match the state as of the checkpoint's logical WAL
position (ie the redo point), not the state as of its physical position.
It's especially bogus to advance it in some wal_levels and not others.
In any case there is no need for the checkpoint record to carry the
same nextXid shown in the XLOG_RUNNING_XACTS record just emitted by
LogStandbySnapshot, as any replay operation will already have adopted
that value as current.

This fixes bug #7710 from Tarvi Pillessaar, and probably also explains bug
#6291 from Daniel Farina, in that if a checkpoint were in progress at the
instant of XID wraparound, the epoch bump would be lost as reported.
(And, of course, these days there's at least a 50-50 chance of a checkpoint
being in progress at any given instant.)

Diagnosed by me and independently by Andres Freund.  Back-patch to all
branches supporting hot standby.

Previously we stored all xids mixed together.
Now we store top-level xids first, followed
by all subxids. Also skip logging any subxids
if the snapshot is suboverflowed, since there
are potentially large numbers of them and they
are not useful in that case anyway. Has value
in the envisaged design for decoding of WAL.
No planned effect on Hot Standby.

Andres Freund, reviewed by me

If wal_level = hot_standby we update the checkpoint nextxid,
though in the case where a wraparound occurred half-way through
a checkpoint we would neglect updating the epoch also. Updating
the nextxid is arguably the wrong thing to do, but changing that
may introduce subtle bugs into hot standby startup, while updating
the value doesn't cause any known bugs yet. Minimal fix now to
HEAD and backbranches, wider fix later in HEAD.

When we do "make install" to create a temp installation, we don't want
that instance of make to try to communicate with any instance of make
that might be calling us.  This is known to cause problems if the
upper make has a -jN flag, and in principle could cause problems even
without that.  Unset the relevant environment variables to prevent such
issues.

The previous coding worked as long as MODULEDIR wasn't set explicitly,
because we create sharedir/$(datamoduledir) and the default value of
that is "extension".  But if some other value is specified for MODULEDIR
then the installation directory needed for the control file wasn't made.

Normally it is unsafe to allow ALTER TYPE ADD VALUE in a transaction block,
because instances of the value could be added to indexes later in the same
transaction, and then they would still be accessible even if the
transaction rolls back.  However, we can allow this if the enum type itself
was created in the current transaction, because then any such indexes would
have to go away entirely on rollback.

The reason for allowing this is to support pg_upgrade's new usage of
pg_restore --single-transaction: in --binary-upgrade mode, pg_dump emits
enum types as a succession of ALTER TYPE ADD VALUE commands so that it can
preserve the values' OIDs.  The support is a bit limited, so we'll leave
it undocumented.

Andres Freund

    In pg_upgrade, remove pg_restore's --single-transaction option,
    as it throws errors in certain cases.

certain cases.

When a relfilenode is created in this subtransaction or
a committed child transaction and it cannot otherwise
be seen by our own process, mark tuples committed ahead
of transaction commit for all COPY commands in same
transaction. If FREEZE specified on COPY
and pre-conditions met then rows will also be frozen.
Both options designed to avoid revisiting rows after commit,
increasing performance of subsequent commands after
data load and upgrade. pg_restore changes later.

Per suggestion from Tom.

If we had not been holding buffer pin continuously since the tuple was
initially fetched by the UPDATE or DELETE query, it would be possible for
VACUUM or a page-prune operation to move the tuple while we're trying to
copy it.  This would result in a garbage "old" tuple value being passed to
an AFTER ROW UPDATE or AFTER ROW DELETE trigger.  The preconditions for
this are somewhat improbable, and the timing constraints are very tight;
so it's not so surprising that this hasn't been reported from the field,
even though the bug has been there a long time.

Problem found by Andres Freund.  Back-patch to all active branches.

This removes exisiting PG settings from the environment for
pg_upgrade tests, just like pg_regress does.

This allows a caller to get back the exact conninfo array that was
used to create a connection, including parameters read from the
environment.

In doing this, restructure how options are copied from the conninfo
to the actual connection.

The length of a socket path name is constrained by the size of struct
sockaddr_un, and there's not a lot we can do about it since that is a
kernel API.  However, it would be a good thing if we produced an
intelligible error message when the user specifies a socket path that's too
long --- and getaddrinfo's standard API is too impoverished to do this in
the natural way.  So insert explicit tests at the places where we construct
a socket path name.  Now you'll get an error that makes sense and even
tells you what the limit is, rather than something generic like
"Non-recoverable failure in name resolution".

Per trouble report from Jeremy Drake and a fix idea from Andrew Dunstan.

There are probably other places where this can be used, but for now,
this just makes MergeAppend use it, so that this code will have test
coverage.  There is other work in the queue that will use this, as
well.

array datatype which of course is wrong.

Applied patch by Muhammad Usama <m.usama@gmail.com> to fix this.

This is to see if it will stop intermittent build failures on buildfarm
member okapi.  We know that gmake 3.82 has some problems with sometimes
not honoring dependencies in parallel builds, and it seems likely that
this is more of the same.  Since the vast bulk of the work in the preproc
directory is associated with creating preproc.c and then preproc.o,
parallelism buys us hardly anything here anyway.

Also, make both this .NOTPARALLEL and the one previously added in
interfaces/ecpg/Makefile be conditional on "ifeq ($(MAKE_VERSION),3.82)".
The known bug in gmake is fixed upstream and should not be present in
3.83 and up, and there's no reason to think it affects older releases.

Commit 8cb53654, which introduced DROP
INDEX CONCURRENTLY, managed to break CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY via a poor
choice of catalog state representation.  The pg_index state for an index
that's reached the final pre-drop stage was the same as the state for an
index just created by CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY.  This meant that the
(necessary) change to make RelationGetIndexList ignore about-to-die indexes
also made it ignore freshly-created indexes; which is catastrophic because
the latter do need to be considered in HOT-safety decisions.  Failure to
do so leads to incorrect index entries and subsequently wrong results from
queries depending on the concurrently-created index.

To fix, add an additional boolean column "indislive" to pg_index, so that
the freshly-created and about-to-die states can be distinguished.  (This
change obviously is only possible in HEAD.  This patch will need to be
back-patched, but in 9.2 we'll use a kluge consisting of overloading the
formerly-impossible state of indisvalid = true and indisready = false.)

In addition, change CREATE/DROP INDEX CONCURRENTLY so that the pg_index
flag changes they make without exclusive lock on the index are made via
heap_inplace_update() rather than a normal transactional update.  The
latter is not very safe because moving the pg_index tuple could result in
concurrent SnapshotNow scans finding it twice or not at all, thus possibly
resulting in index corruption.  This is a pre-existing bug in CREATE INDEX
CONCURRENTLY, which was copied into the DROP code.

In addition, fix various places in the code that ought to check to make
sure that the indexes they are manipulating are valid and/or ready as
appropriate.  These represent bugs that have existed since 8.2, since
a failed CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY could leave a corrupt or invalid
index behind, and we ought not try to do anything that might fail with
such an index.

Also fix RelationReloadIndexInfo to ensure it copies all the pg_index
columns that are allowed to change after initial creation.  Previously we
could have been left with stale values of some fields in an index relcache
entry.  It's not clear whether this actually had any user-visible
consequences, but it's at least a bug waiting to happen.

In addition, do some code and docs review for DROP INDEX CONCURRENTLY;
some cosmetic code cleanup but mostly addition and revision of comments.

This will need to be back-patched, but in a noticeably different form,
so I'm committing it to HEAD before working on the back-patch.
