Using flex's -i switch to achieve case-insensitivity is not a very safe
practice, because the scanner's behavior may then depend on the locale
that flex was invoked in. In the particular example at hand, that's
not academic: the possible matches for "FIRST" will be different in a
Turkish locale than elsewhere. Do it the hard way instead, as our
other scanners do.
Also, drop use of -b -CF -p, because this scanner is only used when
parsing the contents of a GUC variable. That's not done often, and
the amount of text to be parsed can be expected to be trivial, so
prioritizing scanner speed over code size seems like quite the wrong
tradeoff. Using flex's default optimization options reduces the
size of syncrep_gram.o by more than 50%.
The case-insensitivity problem is new in HEAD (cf commit 3901fd70c).
The poor choice of optimization flags exists also in 9.6, but it doesn't
seem important enough to back-patch.

Mark any old hash indexes as invalid so that they don't get used, and
create a script to run REINDEX on all of them. Without this, we'd
still try to use any upgraded hash indexes, but it would fail.

Since commit e7b3349a8a, MergeAttributes
destructively modifies the input List, to which the caller's
CreateStmt still points. One may wonder whether this was already a
bug, but commit f0e44751d7 made things
noticeably worse by adding additional destructive modifications so
that the caller's List might, in the case of creation a partitioned
table, no longer even be structurally valid. Restore the status quo
ante by assigning the return value of MergeAttributes back to
stmt->tableElts in the caller.
In most of the places where DefineRelation is called, it doesn't
matter what stmt->tableElts points to here or whether it's valid or
not, because the caller doesn't use the statement for anything after
DefineRelation returns anyway. However, ProcessUtilitySlow passes it
to EventTriggerCollectSimpleCommand, and that function tries to invoke
copyObject on it. If any of the CreateStmt's substructure is invalid
at that point, undefined behavior will result.
One might wonder whether this whole area needs further revision -
perhaps DefineRelation() ought not to be destructively modifying the
caller-provided CreateStmt at all. However, that would be a behavior
change for any event triggers using C code to inspect the CreateStmt,
so for now, just fix the crash.

This seemed like a good idea originally because there's no way to mark
a range partition as accepting NULL, but that now seems more like a
current limitation than something we want to lock down for all time.
For example, there's a proposal to add the notion of a default
partition which accepts all rows not otherwise routed, which directly
conflicts with the idea that a range-partitioned table should never
allow nulls anywhere. So let's change this while we still can, by
putting the NOT NULL test into the partition constraint instead of
changing the column properties.

When creating a subscription with slot_name = NONE, we failed to check
that also create_slot = false and enabled = false were set. This
created an invalid subscription and could later lead to a crash if a
NULL slot name was accessed. Add more checks around that for
robustness.

When stdin is a terminal, it's possible to end a COPY FROM STDIN with
a keyboard EOF signal (typically control-D), and then keep on issuing
SQL commands. One would expect another COPY FROM STDIN to work as well,
but on some platforms it did not. This turns out to be because we were
not resetting the stream's feof() flag, and BSD-ish versions of fread()
and fgets() won't attempt to read more data if that's set.
The misbehavior is observed on BSDen (including macOS), but not Linux,
Windows, or SysV-ish Unixen, which makes this a portability bug not
just a missing feature.
Add a clearerr() call to fix the behavior, and improve the prompt that's
issued when copying from a TTY to mention that EOF signals work.
It's been like this forever, so back-patch to all supported branches.

We used to only check for a supported relkind on the subscriber during
replication, which is needed to ensure that the setup is valid and we
don't crash. But it's also useful to tell the user immediately when
CREATE or ALTER SUBSCRIPTION is executed that the relation being added
to the subscription is not of a supported relkind.

Reformat various places in which pgindent will make a mess, and
fix a few small violations of coding style that I happened to notice
while perusing the diffs from a pgindent dry run.
There is one actual bug fix here: the need-to-enlarge-the-buffer code
path in icu_convert_case was obviously broken. Perhaps it's unreachable
in our usage? Or maybe this is just sadly undertested.
Commit 827d6f977 contained the same misunderstanding of hash_create's API
as commit 090010f2e. As in 5d00b764c, remove the unnecessary layer of
memory context. (This bug is less significant than the other one, since
the extra context would be under a relatively short-lived context, but
it's still a bug.)
Since commit 4e37b3e15, buildfarm member frogmouth has been failing
occasionally with symptoms indicating that some expected stats data is
getting dropped. The reason that that commit changed the behavior seems
probably to be that more data is getting shoved at the collector in a short
span of time. In current sources, the stats test's first session sends
about 9KB of data while exiting, which is probably the same as what was
sent just before wait_for_stats() in the previous test design. But now,
the test's second session is starting up concurrently, and it sends another
2KB (presumably reflecting its initial catalog accesses). Since frogmouth
is running on Windows XP, which reputedly has a default socket receive
buffer size of only 8KB, it is not very surprising if this has put us over
the threshold where the receive buffer can overflow and drop messages.
The same mechanism could very easily explain the intermittent stats test
failures we've been seeing for years, since background processes such
as the bgwriter will sometimes send data concurrently with all this, and
could thus cause occasional buffer overflows.
Hence, insert some code into pgstat_init() to increase the stats socket's
receive buffer size to 100KB if it's less than that. (On failure, emit a
LOG message, but keep going.) Modern systems seem to have default sizes
in the range of 100KB-250KB, but older platforms don't. I couldn't find
any platforms that wouldn't accept 100KB, so in theory this won't cause
any portability problems.
If this is successful at reducing the buildfarm failure rate in HEAD,
we should back-patch it, because it's certain that similar buffer overflows
happen in the field on platforms with small buffer sizes. Going forward,
there might be an argument for trying to increase the buffer size even
more, but let's take a baby step first.

The CommentStmt made by RebuildConstraintComment() has to pstrdup the
relation name, else it will contain a dangling pointer after that
relcache entry is flushed. (I'm less sure that pstrdup'ing conname
is necessary, but let's be safe.) Failure to do this leads to weird
errors or crashes, as reported by Marko Elezovic.

In 1753b1b027, the pg_sequence system
catalog was introduced. This made sequence metadata changes
transactional, while the actual sequence values are still behaving
nontransactionally. This requires some refinement in how ALTER
SEQUENCE, which operates on both, locks the sequence and the catalog.
The main problems were:
- Concurrent ALTER SEQUENCE causes "tuple concurrently updated" error,
caused by updates to pg_sequence catalog.
- Sequence WAL writes and catalog updates are not protected by same
lock, which could lead to inconsistent recovery order.
- nextval() disregarding uncommitted ALTER SEQUENCE changes.
To fix, nextval() and friends now lock the sequence using
RowExclusiveLock instead of AccessShareLock. ALTER SEQUENCE locks the
sequence using ShareRowExclusiveLock. This means that nextval() and
ALTER SEQUENCE block each other, and ALTER SEQUENCE on the same sequence
blocks itself. (This was already the case previously for the OWNER TO,
RENAME, and SET SCHEMA variants.) Also, rearrange some code so that the
entire AlterSequence is protected by the lock on the sequence.
As an exception, use reduced locking for ALTER SEQUENCE ... RESTART.
Since that is basically a setval(), it does not require the full locking
of other ALTER SEQUENCE actions. So check whether we are only running a
RESTART and run with less locking if so.

pg_stat_get_snapshot_timestamp() returns the timestamp seen in the "global"
stats file. Because pgstat_write_statsfiles() writes per-DB stats files
before the global file (or at least before renaming it into place), there
is a window where the test backend can see all the stats updates that
wait_for_stats() was checking for (all of which come from the per-DB file)
but also see the same global stats file it had seen at the start of the
test script. This results in a failure in only the "snapshot_newer" query,
as reported by a couple of buildfarm members recently.
I suspect that this ought to be back-patched. Commit 4e37b3e15 has
evidently increased the probability of this window getting hit, but
it's not apparent why it could not have been hit before. I'll refrain
for the moment though.
