The psql Makefile was not creating $(datadir) before installing
psqlrc.sample there.
In most cases, the directory would be created in some other way, but for
the documented from-source client-only installation procedure, it could
fail.

This function provides a way of generating version 4 (pseudorandom) UUIDs
based on pgcrypto's PRNG. The main reason for doing this is that the
OSSP UUID library depended on by contrib/uuid-ossp is becoming more and
more of a porting headache, so we need an alternative for people who can't
install that. A nice side benefit though is that this implementation is
noticeably faster than uuid-ossp's uuid_generate_v4() function.

Expand the messages when log_connections is enabled to include the
fact that SSL is used and the SSL cipher information.

_WIN32 is set by the compiler, whereas our code uses WIN32 that is
normally set through our build system. To make it possible to build
extensions out of tree we cannot rely on that, so set the WIN32
symbol explicitly whenever the compiler has set _WIN32.
Not setting this symbol causes double inclusion of pg_config_os.h,
and possibly other errors as well.

Commit 6f60fdd701 accidentally removed a
call to XLogWalRcvSendHSFeedback() after flushing received WAL to disk.
The consequence is that when walsender is busy streaming WAL, it doesn't
send HS feedback messages. One is sent if nothing is received from the
master for 100ms, but if there's a steady stream of WAL, it never happens.
Backpatch to 9.3.

Split the rather long ecpg_execute() function into ecpg_build_params(),
ecpg_autostart_transaction(), a smaller ecpg_execute() and
ecpg_process_output(). There is no user-visible change here, only code
reorganization to support future patches.

The + modifier of \do didn't use to do anything, but now it adds an oprcode
column. This is useful both as an additional form of documentation of what
the operator does, and to save a step when finding out properties of the
underlying function.

This splits ECPGdo() into ecpg_prologue(), ecpg_do() and
ecpg_epilogue(), and renames free_params() into ecpg_free_params() and
exports it. This makes it possible for future code to use these
routines for their own purposes.

Coverity is complaining that the value returned by pg_strtok in
READ_LOCATION_FIELD and READ_BITMAPSET_FIELD macros is not used. In commit
39bfc94c86, we did this to the other macros
to placate compilers that complained when the variable was completely
unused, this extends that to the last remaining macros.
Previously, we did this just once per checkpoint, but that could make
Hot Standby take a long time to initialize. To avoid busying an
otherwise-idle system, we don't do this if no WAL has been written
since we did it last.

Kevin Gritter reports that his compiler complains about inq and outq
being possibly-uninitialized at the point where they are passed to
shm_mq_attach(). They are initialized by the call to
setup_dynamic_shared_memory, but apparently his compiler is inlining
that function and then having doubts about whether the for loop will
always execute at least once. Fix by initializing them to NULL.
Primarily, explain where to find the system-wide psqlrc file, per recent
gripe from John Sutton. Do some general wordsmithing and improve the
markup, too.
Also adjust psqlrc.sample so its comments about file location are somewhat
trustworthy. (Not sure why we bother with this file when it's empty,
but whatever.)
Back-patch to 9.2 where the startup file naming scheme was last changed.
In ordinary operation, VACUUM must be careful to take a cleanup lock on
each leaf page of a btree index; this ensures that no indexscans could
still be "in flight" to heap tuples due to be deleted. (Because of
possible index-tuple motion due to concurrent page splits, it's not enough
to lock only the pages we're deleting index tuples from.) In Hot Standby,
the WAL replay process must likewise lock every leaf page. There were
several bugs in the code for that:
* The replay scan might come across unused, all-zero pages in the index.
While btree_xlog_vacuum itself did the right thing (ie, nothing) with
such pages, xlogutils.c supposed that such pages must be corrupt and
would throw an error. This accounts for various reports of replication
failures with "PANIC: WAL contains references to invalid pages". To
fix, add a ReadBufferMode value that instructs XLogReadBufferExtended
not to complain when we're doing this.
* btree_xlog_vacuum performed the extra locking if standbyState ==
STANDBY_SNAPSHOT_READY, but that's not the correct test: we won't open up
for hot standby queries until the database has reached consistency, and
we don't want to do the extra locking till then either, for fear of reading
corrupted pages (which bufmgr.c would complain about). Fix by exporting a
new function from xlog.c that will report whether we're actually in hot
standby replay mode.
* To ensure full coverage of the index in the replay scan, btvacuumscan
would emit a dummy WAL record for the last page of the index, if no
vacuuming work had been done on that page. However, if the last page
of the index is all-zero, that would result in corruption of said page,
since the functions called on it weren't prepared to handle that case.
There's no need to lock any such pages, so change the logic to target
the last normal leaf page instead.
The first two of these bugs were diagnosed by Andres Freund, the other one
by me. Fixes based on ideas from Heikki Linnakangas and myself.
This has been wrong since Hot Standby was introduced, so back-patch to 9.0.
This code is intended as a demonstration of how the dynamic shared
memory and dynamic background worker facilities can be used to establish
a group of coooperating processes which can coordinate their activities
using the shared memory message queue facility. By itself, the code
does nothing particularly interesting: it simply allows messages to
be passed through a loop of workers and back to the original process.
But it's a useful unit test, in addition to its demonstration value.
This code provides infrastructure for user backends to communicate
relatively easily with background workers. The message queue is
structured as a ring buffer and allows messages of arbitary length
to be sent and received.
Patch by me. Review by KaiGai Kohei and Andres Freund.
This interface is intended to make it simple to divide a dynamic shared
memory segment into different regions with distinct purposes. It
therefore serves much the same purpose that ShmemIndex accomplishes for
the main shared memory segment, but it is intended to be more
lightweight.

Move FreeConfigVariables() later to make sure ErrorConfFile is valid

Amit Kapila, kibitzed by me.
Allow for the possibility that folding a string to lower case makes it
longer (due to replacing a character with a longer multibyte character).
This doesn't change the number of trigrams that will be extracted, but
it does affect the required size of an intermediate buffer in
generate_trgm(). Per bug #8821 from Ufuk Kayserilioglu.
Also install some checks that the input string length is not so large
as to cause overflow in the calculations of palloc request sizes.
Back-patch to all supported versions.
On second thought, commit 0c051c9008 was
over-hasty: rather than allowing this case, we ought to reject it for now.
That leaves the field clear for a future feature that allows the target
table to be re-specified in the FROM (or USING) clause, which will enable
left-joining the target table to something else. We can then also allow
LATERAL references to such an explicitly re-specified target table.
But allowing them right now will create ambiguities or worse for such a
feature, and it isn't something we documented 9.3 as supporting.
While at it, add a convenience subroutine to avoid having several copies
of the ereport for disalllowed-LATERAL-reference cases.
Per reports from Andres Freund and Luke Campbell, a server failure during
set_pglocale_pgservice results in a segfault rather than a useful error
message, because the infrastructure needed to use ereport hasn't been
initialized; specifically, MemoryContextInit hasn't been called.
One known cause of this is starting the server in a directory it
doesn't have permission to read.
We could try to prevent set_pglocale_pgservice from using anything that
depends on palloc or elog, but that would be messy, and the odds of future
breakage seem high. Moreover there are other things being called in main.c
that look likely to use palloc or elog too --- perhaps those things
shouldn't be there, but they are there today. The best solution seems to
be to move the call of MemoryContextInit to very early in the backend's
real main() function. I've verified that an elog or ereport occurring
immediately after that is now capable of sending something useful to
stderr.
I also added code to elog.c to print something intelligible rather than
just crashing if MemoryContextInit hasn't created the ErrorContext.
This could happen if MemoryContextInit itself fails (due to malloc
failure), and provides some future-proofing against someone trying to
sneak in new code even earlier in server startup.
Back-patch to all supported branches. Since we've only heard reports of
this type of failure recently, it may be that some recent change has made
it more likely to see a crash of this kind; but it sure looks like it's
broken all the way back.
The standard typanalyze functions skip over values whose detoasted size
exceeds WIDTH_THRESHOLD (1024 bytes), so as to limit memory bloat during
ANALYZE. However, we (I think I, actually :-() failed to consider the
possibility that *every* non-null value in a column is too wide. While
compute_minimal_stats() seems to behave reasonably anyway in such a case,
compute_scalar_stats() just fell through and generated no pg_statistic
entry at all. That's unnecessarily pessimistic: we can still produce
valid stanullfrac and stawidth values in such cases, since we do include
too-wide values in the average-width calculation. Furthermore, since the
general assumption in this code is that too-wide values are probably all
distinct from each other, it seems reasonable to set stadistinct to -1
("all distinct").
Per complaint from Kadri Raudsepp. This has been like this since roughly
neolithic times, so back-patch to all supported branches.
Add a query that lists all the functions that are operator implementation
functions and have a SQL comment that doesn't just say "implementation of
XYZ operator". (Note that the preceding test checks that such functions'
comments exactly match the corresponding operators' comments.)
While it's not forbidden to add more functions to this list, that should
only be done when we're encouraging users to use either the function or
operator syntax for the functionality, which is a fairly rare situation.
The new MultiXact freezing routines introduced by commit 8e9a16ab8f

vacuum run that tried to freeze such tuples would die with an error such

In passing, fix a copy&paste bug reported by Andrey Karpov from VIVA64
from their PVS-Studio static checked, that instead of setting relminmxid
to Invalid, we were setting relfrozenxid twice. Not an important
mistake because that code branch is about relations for which we don't
use the frozenxid/minmxid values at all in the first place, but seems to
warrants a fix nonetheless.
Buildfarm member dunlin has been crashing since commit 8b49a60, but other
machines seem fine with that code. It turns out that removing the local
variables in ordered_set_startup() that are copies of fields in "qstate"
dodges the problem. This might cost a few cycles on register-rich
machines, but it's probably a wash on others, and in any case this code
isn't performance-critical. Thanks to Jeremy Drake for off-list
investigation.
