Borrow the logic that's long been used in tuplesort.c: instead
of physically swapping the data in two heap entries, keep the
value that's being sifted up or down in a local variable, and
just move the other values as necessary. This makes the code
shorter as well as faster. It's not clear that any current
callers are really time-critical enough to notice, but we
might as well code heap maintenance the same way everywhere.

This could only matter if (a) long is wider than int, and (b) the heap
of free blocks exceeds UINT_MAX entries, which seems pretty unlikely.
Still, it's a theoretical bug, so backpatch to v13 where the typo came
in (in commit c02fdc922).
In passing, also make swap_nodes() use consistent datatypes.

When using replication origins, pg_replication_origin_xact_setup() is an
optional choice to be able to set a LSN and a timestamp to mark the
origin, which would be additionally added to WAL for transaction commits
or aborts (including 2PC transactions). An assertion in the code path
of PREPARE TRANSACTION assumed that this data should always be set, so
it would trigger when using replication origins without setting up an
origin LSN. Some tests are added to cover more this kind of scenario.

geo_ops.c contains half a dozen functions that are just stubs throwing
ERRCODE_FEATURE_NOT_SUPPORTED. Since it's been like that for more
than twenty years, there's clearly not a lot of interest in filling in
the stubs. However, I'm uncomfortable with deleting poly_distance(),
since every other geometric type supports a distance-to-another-object-
of-the-same-type function. We can easily add this capability by
cribbing from poly_overlap() and path_distance().
It's possible that the (existing) test case for this will show some
numeric instability, but hopefully the buildfarm will expose it if so.
In passing, improve the documentation to try to explain why polygons
are distinct from closed paths in the first place.

It's not great that RecoveryInProgress() calls InitXLOGAccess(),
because a status inquiry function typically shouldn't have the side
effect of performing initializations. We could fix that by calling
InitXLOGAccess() from some other place, but instead, let's remove it
altogether.
One thing InitXLogAccess() did is initialize wal_segment_size, but it
doesn't need to do that. In the postmaster, PostmasterMain() calls
LocalProcessControlFile(), and all child processes will inherit that
value -- except in EXEC_BACKEND bulds, but then each backend runs
SubPostmasterMain() which also calls LocalProcessControlFile().
The other thing InitXLOGAccess() did is update RedoRecPtr and
doPageWrites, but that's not critical, because all code that uses
them will just retry if it turns out that they've changed. The
only difference is that most code will now see an initial value that
is definitely invalid instead of one that might have just been way
out of date, but that will only happen once per backend lifetime,
so it shouldn't be a big deal.

The idea here is that when a performance problem is known to have
occurred at a certain point in time, it's a good thing if there is
some information available from the logs to help figure out what
might have happened around that time.
This change attracted an above-average amount of dissent, because
it means that a server with default settings will produce some amount
of log output even if nothing has gone wrong. However, by my count,
the mailing list discussion had about twice as many people in favor
of the change as opposed. The reasons for believing that the extra
log output is not an issue in practice are: (1) the rate at which
messages can be generated by this setting is bounded to one every
few minutes on a properly-configured system and (2) production
systems tend to have a lot more junk in the log from that due to
failed connection attempts, ERROR messages generated by application
activity, and the like.

Historically we've put type "char" into the S (String) typcategory,
although calling it a string is a stretch considering it can only
store one byte. (In our actual usage, it's more like an enum.)
This choice now seems wrong in view of the special heuristics
that parse_func.c and parse_coerce.c have for TYPCATEGORY_STRING:
it's not a great idea for "char" to have those preferential casting
behaviors.
Worse than that, recent patches inventing special-purpose types
like pg_node_tree have assigned typcategory S to those types,
meaning they also get preferential casting treatment that's designed
on the assumption that they can hold arbitrary text.
To fix, invent a new category TYPCATEGORY_INTERNAL for internal-use
types, and assign that to all these types. I used code 'Z' for
lack of a better idea ('I' was already taken).
This change breaks one query in psql/describe.c, which now needs to
explicitly cast a catalog "char" column to text before concatenating
it with an undecorated literal. Also, a test case in contrib/citext
now needs an explicit cast to convert citext to "char". Since the
point of this change is to not have "char" be a surprisingly-available
cast target, these breakages seem OK.

1. Update our open() wrapper to check for NT's STATUS_DELETE_PENDING
and translate it to Unix-like errors. This is done with
RtlGetLastNtStatus(), which is dynamically loaded from ntdll. A new
file win32ntdll.c centralizes lookup of NT functions, in case we decide
to add more in the future.
2. Remove non-working code that was trying to do something similar for
stat(), and just reuse the open() wrapper code. As a side effect,
stat() also gains resilience against "sharing violation" errors.
3. Since stat() is used very early in process startup, remove the

The term "super-exclusive lock" is a synonym for "buffer cleanup lock"
that first appeared in nbtree many years ago. Standardize things by
consistently using the term cleanup lock. This finishes work started by
commit 276db875.
There is no good reason to have two terms. But there is a good reason
to only have one: to avoid confusion around why VACUUM acquires a full
cleanup lock (not just an ordinary exclusive lock) in index AMs, during
ambulkdelete calls. This has nothing to do with protecting the physical
index data structure itself. It is needed to implement a locking
protocol that ensures that TIDs pointing to the heap/table structure
cannot get marked for recycling by VACUUM before it is safe (which is
somewhat similar to how VACUUM uses cleanup locks during its first heap
pass). Note that it isn't strictly necessary for index AMs to implement
this locking protocol -- several index AMs use an MVCC snapshot as their
sole interlock to prevent unsafe TID recycling.
In passing, update the nbtree README. Cleanly separate discussion of
the aforementioned index vacuuming locking protocol from discussion of
the "drop leaf page pin" optimization added by commit 2ed5b87f. We now
structure discussion of the latter by describing how individual index
scans may safely opt out of applying the standard locking protocol (and
so can avoid blocking progress by VACUUM). Also document why the
optimization is not safe to apply during nbtree index-only scans.

When aborting remote transaction or sending cancel request to a remote server,
postgres_fdw calls pgfdw_get_cleanup_result() to wait for the result of
transaction abort query or cancel request to arrive. It fails to get the result
if the timeout expires or a connection trouble happens.
Previously postgres_fdw reported no warning message even when the timeout
expired or a connection trouble happened in pgfdw_get_cleanup_result().
This could make the troubleshooting harder when such an event occurred.
This commit makes pgfdw_get_cleanup_result() tell its caller what trouble

REINDEX CONCURRENTLY run on a toast index or a toast relation could
corrupt the target indexes rebuilt, as a backend running in parallel
that manipulates toast values would directly release the lock on the
toast relation when its local operation is done, rather than releasing
the lock once the transaction that manipulated the toast values
committed.
The fix done here is simple: we now hold a ROW EXCLUSIVE lock on the
toast relation when saving or deleting a toast value until the
transaction working on them is committed, so as a concurrent reindex
happening in parallel would be able to wait for any activity and see any
new rows inserted (or deleted).
An isolation test is added to check after the case fixed here, which is
a bit fancy by design as it relies on allow_system_table_mods to rename
the toast table and its index to fixed names. This way, it is possible
to reindex them directly without any dependency on the OID of the
underlying relation. Note that this could not use a DO block either, as
REINDEX CONCURRENTLY cannot be run in a transaction block. The test is

For objects such as functions, pg_dump issues the same secondary
data-collection query against each object to be dumped. This can't
readily be refactored to avoid the repetitive queries, but we can
PREPARE these queries to reduce planning costs.
This patch applies the idea to functions, aggregates, operators, and
data types. While it could be carried further, the remaining sorts of
objects aren't likely to appear in typical databases enough times to
be worth worrying over. Moreover, doing the PREPARE is likely to be a
net loss if there aren't at least some dozens of objects to apply the
prepared query to.

Instead of issuing a secondary data-collection query against each
table to be dumped, issue just one query, with a WHERE clause
restricting it to be applied to only the tables we intend to dump.
Likewise for indexes, constraints, and triggers. This greatly
reduces the number of queries needed to dump a database containing
many tables. It might seem that WHERE clauses listing many target
OIDs could be inefficient, but at least on recent server versions
this provides a very substantial speedup.
(In principle the same thing could be done with other object types
such as functions; but that would require significant refactoring
of pg_dump, so those will be tackled in a different way in a
following patch.)
The new WHERE clauses depend on the unnest() function, which is
only present in 8.4 and above. We could implement them differently
for older servers, but there is an ongoing discussion that will
probably result in dropping pg_dump support for servers before 9.2,
so that seems like it'd be wasted work. For now, just bump the
server version check to require >= 8.4, without stopping to remove
any of the code that's thereby rendered dead. We'll mop that
situation up soon.

Split the DumpableObject.dump bitmask field into separate bitmasks
tracking which components are requested to be dumped (in the
existing "dump" field) and which components exist for the particular
object (in the new "components" field). This gets rid of some
klugy and easily-broken logic that involved setting bits and later
clearing them. More importantly, it restores the originally intended
behavior that pg_dump's secondary data-gathering queries should not
be executed for objects we have no interest in dumping. That
optimization got broken when the dump flag was turned into a bitmask,
because irrelevant bits tended to remain set in many cases. Since
the "components" field starts from a minimal set of bits and is
added onto as needed, ANDing it with "dump" provides a reliable
indicator of what we actually have to dump, without having to
complicate the logic that manages the request bits. This makes
a significant difference in the number of queries needed when,
for example, there are many functions in extensions.

process termination. It's pretty weird that the implicit close done
by the kernel acts differently from an explicit close, but it's hard
to argue with experimental results.
Independently submitted by Alexander Lakhin and Lars Kanis (comments
by me, though). Back-patch to all supported branches.

Checking for RELKIND_MATVIEW was forgotten in
guessConstraintInheritance(). This isn't a live problem, since it is
checked in flagInhTables() which relkinds can have parents, and those
entries will have numParents==0 after that. But after discussion it
was felt that this place should be kept consistent with
flagInhTables() and flagInhAttrs().
