When one of the kernel calls in the socket()/bind()/listen() sequence
fails, include the specific address we're trying to bind to in the log
message.  This greatly eases debugging of network misconfigurations.

Also, after successfully setting up a listen socket, report its address
in the log, to ease verification that the expected addresses were bound.
There was some debate about whether to print this message at LOG level or
only DEBUG1, but the majority of votes were for the former.

Dumping a publication with more than one table crashed pg_dump.

patch by Amit Langote <Langote_Amit_f8@lab.ntt.co.jp>, test by me

There's no really good reason why the autovacuum launcher and logical
replication launcher should announce themselves at startup and shutdown
by default.  Users don't care that those processes exist, and it's
inconsistent that those background processes announce themselves while
others don't.  So, reduce those messages from LOG to DEBUG1 level.

I was sorely tempted to reduce the "starting logical replication worker
for subscription ..." message to DEBUG1 as well, but forebore for now.
Those processes might possibly be of direct interest to users, at least
until logical replication is a lot better shaken out than it is today.

This reverts commit ccce90b3.  This

savepoints, but I'm concerned there may be other problematic cases as
well.  Therefore, I've decided to revert this pending further
investigation.

Previously they were disabled due to performance concerns on 32bit

Commits 89e0bac8 et al replaced newlines with spaces in object names
printed in SQL comments, but we neglected to consider that the same
names are also printed by "pg_restore -l", and a newline would render
the output unparseable by "pg_restore -L".  Apply the same replacement
in "-l" output.  Since "pg_restore -L" doesn't actually examine any
object names, only the dump ID field that starts each line, this is
enough to fix things for its purposes.

The previous fix was treated as a security issue, and we might have
done that here as well, except that the issue was reported publicly
to start with.  Anyway it's hard to see how this could be exploited
for SQL injection; "pg_restore -L" doesn't do much with the file
except parse it for leading integers.

Seven of the eight other relkind codes are lower-case, so it wasn't
consistent for this one to be upper-case.  Fix it while we still can.

Historical notes: the reason for the lone exception, i.e. sequences being
'S', is that 's' was once used for "special" relations.  Also, at one time
the partitioned-tables patch used both 'P' and 'p', but that got changed,
leaving only a surprising choice behind.

This also fixes a couple little bits of technical debt, such as
type_sanity.sql not knowing that 'm' is a legal value for relkind.

This is the beginning of a collection of SQL-callable functions to
verify the integrity of data files.  For now it only contains code to
verify B-Tree indexes.

This adds two SQL-callable functions, validating B-Tree consistency to
a varying degree.  Check the, extensive, docs for details.

The goal is to later extend the coverage of the module to further
access methods, possibly including the heap.  Once checks for
additional access methods exist, we'll likely add some "dispatch"
functions that cover multiple access methods.

Although it's reasonable to expect that most of these constants will
never change, that does not make it good programming style to hard-code
the value rather than using the RELKIND_FOO macros.  There were only
a few such violations, and all relatively new AFAICT.

Existing style is mostly to inject relkind values into constructed
query strings using %c.  I did not bother to touch places that did it
like that, but really a better technique is to stringify the RELKIND
macro, at least in places where you'd want single quotes around the
code character.  That avoids any runtime effort and keeps the RELKIND
symbol close to where it's used.

Commit 0e141c0f introduced a mechanism
to reduce contention on ProcArrayLock by having a single process clear
XIDs in the procArray on behalf of multiple processes, reducing the
need to hand the lock around.  Use a similar mechanism to reduce
contention on CLogControlLock.  Testing shows that this very
significantly reduces the amount of time waiting for CLogControlLock
on high-concurrency pgbench tests run on a large multi-socket
machines; whether that translates into a TPS improvement depends on
how much of that contention is simply shifted to some other lock,
particularly WALWriteLock.

The IANA timezone crew continues to chip away at their project of removing
timezone abbreviations that have no real-world currency from their
database.  The tzdata2017a update removes all such abbreviations for
South American zones, as well as much of the Pacific.  This breaks some
test cases in timestamptz.sql that were expecting America/Santiago and
America/Caracas to have non-numeric abbreviations.

The test cases involving America/Santiago seem to have selected that
zone more or less at random, so just replace it with America/New_York,
which is of similar longitude.  The cases involving America/Caracas are
harder since they were chosen to test a time-varying zone abbreviation
around a point where it changed meaning in the backwards direction.
Fortunately, Europe/Moscow has a similar case in 2014, and the MSK/MSD
abbreviations are well enough attested that IANA seems unlikely to
decide to remove them from the database in future.

With these changes, this regression test should pass when using any IANA
zone database from 2015 or later.  One could wish that there were a few
years more daylight on how out-of-date your zone database can be ... but
really the --with-system-tzdata option is only meant for use on platforms
where the zone database is kept up-to-date pretty faithfully, so I do not
think this is a big objection.

The contrib extensions pageinspect, pg_visibility and pgstattuple only
work against regular relations which have storage.  They don't work
against foreign tables, partitioned (parent) tables, views, et al.

Add checks to the user-callable functions to return a useful error
message to the user if they mistakenly pass an invalid relation to a
function which doesn't accept that kind of relation.

In passing, improve some of the existing checks to use ereport() instead
of elog(), add a function to consolidate common checks where
appropriate, and add some regression tests.

Neha Sharma reported these to Rushabh Lathia just after I commit
355d3993 went in.  The patch is
Rushabh's, with input from me.

initdb now initializes a pg_hba.conf that allows replication connections
from the local host, same as it does for regular connections.  The
connecting user still needs to have the REPLICATION attribute or be a
superuser.

The intent is to allow pg_basebackup from the local host to succeed
without requiring additional configuration.

Like Gather, we spawn multiple workers and run the same plan in each
one; however, Gather Merge is used when each worker produces the same
output ordering and we want to preserve that output ordering while
merging together the streams of tuples from various workers.  (In a
way, Gather Merge is like a hybrid of Gather and MergeAppend.)

This works out to a win if it saves us from having to perform an
expensive Sort.  In cases where only a small amount of data would need
to be sorted, it may actually be faster to use a regular Gather node
and then sort the results afterward, because Gather Merge sometimes
needs to wait synchronously for tuples whereas a pure Gather generally
doesn't.  But if this avoids an expensive sort then it's a win.

We have a project policy that every .c file should start by including
postgres.h, postgres_fe.h, or c.h as appropriate; and then there is no
need for any .h file to explicitly include any of these.  (The core
reason for this policy is to make it easy to verify that pg_config_os.h
is included before any system headers such as <stdio.h>; without that,
we have portability issues on some platforms due to variation in largefile
options across different modules in the backend.  Also, if .h files were
responsible for choosing which of these key headers to include, .h files
that need to be includable in either frontend or backend compiles would be
in trouble.)

plpgsql was blithely ignoring this policy, so whack it upside the head
until it complies.  I also chose to standardize on including plpgsql's
own .h files after all core-system headers that it pulls in.  That
could've been done either way, but this way seems saner.

Although there are good reasons for our policy of including postgres.h
as the first #include in every .c file, never from .h files, there are
two places where it seems expedient to violate the policy because the
alternative is to modify externally-supplied .c files.  (In the case
of the regexp library, the idea that it's externally-supplied is kind
of at odds with reality, but I haven't entirely given up hope that it
will become a standalone project some day.)  Add some comments to make
it explicit that this is a policy violation and provide the reasoning.

In passing, move #include "miscadmin.h" out of regcomp.c and into
regcustom.h, which is where it should be if we're taking this reasoning
seriously at all.
