1. In heap_hot_search_buffer(), the PredicateLockTuple() call is passed
wrong offset number. heapTuple->t_self is set to the tid of the first
tuple in the chain that's visited, not the one actually being read.
2. CheckForSerializableConflictIn() uses the tuple's t_ctid field
instead of t_self to check for exiting predicate locks on the tuple. If
the tuple was updated, but the updater rolled back, t_ctid points to the
aborted dead tuple.

If a tuple was frozen while its predicate locks mattered,
read-write dependencies could be missed, resulting in failure to
detect conflicts which could lead to anomalies in committed
serializable transactions.
This field was added to the tag when we still thought that it was
necessary to carry locks forward to a new version of an updated
row. That was later proven to be unnecessary, which allowed
simplification of the code, but elimination of xmin from the tag
was missed at the time.

Clamp the minimum sleep time during immediate shutdown or crash to a
minimum of zero, not a maximum of one second. The previous code could
result in a negative sleep time, leading to failure in select() calls.
Also, on crash recovery, reset AbortStartTime as soon as SIGKILL is sent
or abort processing has commenced instead of waiting until the startup
process completes. Reset AbortStartTime as soon as SIGKILL is sent,
too, to avoid doing that repeatedly.

Isolate transaction latency (elapsed time between submitting first
command and receiving response to last command) from client-side delays
pertaining to the --rate schedule. Under --rate, report schedule lag as
defined in the documentation. Report latency standard deviation
whenever we collect the measurements to do so. All of these changes
affect --progress messages and the final report.

Previously, isolationtester would forbid returning tuples in
session-specific teardown (but not global teardown), as well as in
global setup. Allow these places to return tuples, too.
DISCARD ALL will now discard cached sequence information, as well.

It makes for cleaner code to have separate Get/Add functions for PostingItems
and ItemPointers. A few callsites that have to deal with both types need to
be duplicated because of this, but all the callers have to know which one
they're dealing with anyway. Overall, this reduces the amount of casting
required.

format.
The cancel handler was uselessly set up even before the first connection
was opened. By setting it up afterwards, the user can use Ctrl+C to
abort psql if the initial connection attempt hangs.

With the PGXS boilerplate in place, pg_xlogdump currently fails with an
ominous error message that certain targets cannot be built because
certain files do not exist. Remove that and instead throw a quick error
message alerting the user of the actual problem, which should be easier
to diagnose that the statu quo.

Previously bms_add_member() would palloc a whole-new copy of the existing
set, copy the words, and pfree the old one. repalloc() is potentially much
faster, and more importantly, this is less surprising if CurrentMemoryContext
is not the same as the context the old set is in. bms_add_member() still
allocates a new bitmapset in CurrentMemoryContext if NULL is passed as
argument, but that is a lot less likely to induce bugs.

lo_open registers the currently active snapshot, and checks if the
large object exists after that. Normally, snapshots registered by lo_open
are unregistered at end of transaction when the lo descriptor is closed, but
if we error out before the lo descriptor is added to the list of open
descriptors, it is leaked. Fix by moving the snapshot registration to after
checking if the large object exists.
Reported by Pavel Stehule. Backpatch to 8.4. The snapshot registration
system was introduced in 8.4, so prior versions are not affected (and not
supported, anyway).
This should have been done when the json functionality was added to
hstore in 9.3.0. To handle this correctly, the upgrade script therefore
uses conditional logic by using plpgsql in a DO statement to add the two
new functions and the new cast. If hstore_to_json_loose is detected as
already present and dependent on the hstore extension nothing is done.
This will require that the database be loaded with plpgsql.
People who have installed the earlier and spurious 1.1 version of hstore
will need to do:
ALTER EXTENSION hstore UPDATE;
to pick up the new functions properly.
There is a rare race condition, when a transaction that inserted a tuple
aborts while vacuum is processing the page containing the inserted tuple.
Vacuum prunes the page first, which normally removes any dead tuples, but
if the inserting transaction aborts right after that, the loop after
pruning will see a dead tuple and remove it instead. That's OK, but if the
page is on a table with no indexes, and the page becomes completely empty
after removing the dead tuple (or tuples) on it, it will be immediately
marked as all-visible. That's OK, but the sanity check in vacuum would
throw a warning because it thinks that the page contains dead tuples and
was nevertheless marked as all-visible, even though it just vacuumed away
the dead tuples and so it doesn't actually contain any.
Spotted this while reading the code. It's difficult to hit the race
condition otherwise, but can be done by putting a breakpoint after the
heap_page_prune() call.
Backpatch all the way to 8.4, where this code first appeared.
B-tree operators are not allowed to leak memory into the current memory
context. Range_cmp leaked detoasted copies of the arguments. That caused

Though @libdir@ almost always matches @abs_builddir@ in this context,

Previously, arbitray system columns could be mentioned in table
constraints, but they were not correctly checked at runtime, because
the values weren't actually set correctly in the tuple. Since it
seems easy enough to initialize the table OID properly, do that,
and continue allowing that column, but disallow the rest unless and
until someone figures out a way to make them work properly.
No back-patch, because this doesn't seem important enough to take the
risk of destabilizing the back branches. In fact, this will pose a
dump-and-reload hazard for those upgrading from previous versions:
constraints that were accepted before but were not correctly enforced
will now either be enforced correctly or not accepted at all. Either
could result in restore failures, but in practice I think very few
users will notice the difference, since the use case is pretty
marginal anyway and few users will be relying on features that have
not historically worked.

In libpq, we set up and pass to OpenSSL callback routines to handle
locking. When we run out of SSL connections, we try to clean things
up by de-registering the hooks. Unfortunately, we had a few calls
into the OpenSSL library after these hooks were de-registered during
SSL cleanup which lead to deadlocking. This moves the thread callback
cleanup to be after all SSL-cleanup related OpenSSL library calls.
I've been unable to reproduce the deadlock with this fix.
In passing, also move the close_SSL call to be after unlocking our
ssl_config mutex when in a failure state. While it looks pretty
unlikely to be an issue, it could have resulted in deadlocks if we
ended up in this code path due to something other than SSL_new
failing. Thanks to Heikki for pointing this out.
Back-patch to all supported versions; note that the close_SSL issue
only goes back to 9.0, so that hunk isn't included in the 8.4 patch.
Initially found and reported by Vesa-Matti J Kari; many thanks to
both Heikki and Andres for their help running down the specific
issue and reviewing the patch.
When a timeline history file is fetched from server, it is initially created
with a temporary file name, and renamed to place. However, the temporary
file name was constructed using an uninitialized buffer. Usually that meant
that the file was created in current directory instead of the target, which
usually goes unnoticed, but if the target is on a different filesystem than
the current dir, the rename() would fail. Fix that.
The second issue is that pg_receivexlog would not take .partial files into
account when determining when scanning the target directory for existing
WAL files. If the timeline has switched in the server several times in the
last WAL segment, and pg_receivexlog is restarted, it would choose a too
old starting point. That's not a problem as long as the old WAL segment
exists in the server and can be streamed over, but will cause a failure if
it's not.
Backpatch to 9.3, where this timeline handling code was written.
Analysed by Andrew Gierth, bug #8453, based on a bug report on IRC.
