Instead of XXX_IN_XLOCALE_H for several features XXX, let's just
include <xlocale.h> if HAVE_XLOCALE_H. The reason for the extra
complication was apparently that some old glibc systems also had an
<xlocale.h>, and you weren't supposed to include it directly, but it's
gone now (as far as I can tell it was harmless to do so anyway).

The current method of detecting perl build flags breaks if the path to
perl contains a space. This change makes two improvements. First,
instead of getting a list of ldflags and ccdlflags and then trying to
filter those out of the reported ldopts, we tell perl to suppress
reporting those in the first instance. Second, it tells perl to parse
those and output them, one per line. Thus any space on the option in a
file name, for example, is preserved.

Backpatch to release 16.
Latest versions of Strawberry Perl define USE_THREAD_SAFE_LOCALE, and we
therefore get a handshake error when building against such instances.
The solution is to perform a test to see if USE_THREAD_SAFE_LOCALE is
defined and only define NO_THREAD_SAFE_LOCALE if it isn't.
Backpatch the meson.build fix back to release 16 and apply the same
logic to Mkvcbuild.pm in releases 12 through 16.
Original report of the issue from Muralikrishna Bandaru.
OpenSSL 1.0.2 has been EOL from the upstream OpenSSL project for
some time, and is no longer the default OpenSSL version with any
vendor which package PostgreSQL. By retiring support for OpenSSL
1.0.2 we can remove a lot of no longer required complexity for
managing state within libcrypto which is now handled by OpenSSL.

Use gmtime_r() and localtime_r() instead of gmtime() and localtime(),
for thread-safety.
There are a few affected calls in libpq and ecpg's libpgtypes, which
are probably effectively bugs, because those libraries already claim
to be thread-safe.
There is one affected call in the backend. Most of the backend
otherwise uses the custom functions pg_gmtime() and pg_localtime(),
which are implemented differently.
While we're here, change the call in the backend to gmtime*() instead
of localtime*(), since for that use time zone behavior is irrelevant,
and this side-steps any questions about when time zones are
initialized by localtime_r() vs localtime().
Portability: gmtime_r() and localtime_r() are in POSIX but are not
available on Windows. Windows has functions gmtime_s() and
localtime_s() that can fulfill the same purpose, so we add some small
wrappers around them. (Note that these *_s() functions are also
different from the *_s() functions in the bounds-checking extension of
C11. We are not using those here.)
On MinGW, you can get the POSIX-style *_r() functions by defining
_POSIX_C_SOURCE appropriately before including <time.h>. This leads
to a conflict at least in plpython because apparently _POSIX_C_SOURCE
gets defined in some header there, and then our replacement
definitions conflict with the system definitions. To avoid that sort
of thing, we now always define _POSIX_C_SOURCE on MinGW and use the
POSIX-style functions here.

Modern versions of all relevant architectures and tool chains have
atomics support. Since edadeb07, there is no remaining reason to carry
code that simulates atomic flags and uint32 imperfectly with spinlocks.
64 bit atomics are still emulated with spinlocks, if needed, for now.
Any modern compiler capable of implementing C11 <stdatomic.h> must have
the underlying operations we need, though we don't require C11 yet. We
detect certain compilers and architectures, so hypothetical new systems

To build with -Dreadline=enabled one can use either readline or
libedit. The -Dlibedit_preferred flag is supposed to control the order
of names to lookup. This works fine when either both libraries are
present or -Dreadline is set to auto. However, explicitly enabling
readline with only libedit present, but not setting libedit_preferred,
or alternatively enabling readline with only readline present, but
setting libedit_preferred, too, are both broken. This is because
cc.find_library will throw an error for a not found dependency as soon
as the first required dependency is checked, thus it's impossible to
fallback to the alternative.
Here we only check the second of the two dependencies for
requiredness, thus we only fail when none of the two can be found.

Passing an absolute bindir/libdir will install the binaries and
libraries to <build>/tmp_install/<bindir> and
<build>/tmp_install/<libdir> respectively.
This path is correctly passed to the regression test suite via
configure/make, but not via meson, yet. This is because the "/"
operator in the following expression throws away the whole left side
when the right side is an absolute path:
test_install_location / get_option('libdir')
This was already correctly handled for dir_prefix, which is likely
absolute as well. This patch handles both bindir and libdir in the

Meson uses warning/debug/optimize flags such as "-Wall", "-g", and

And we use "--warning_level=1" and "--buildtype=debugoptimized" by

But we need these flags for Makefile.global (for extensions) and

higher-level options.
Without this change, extensions building using pgxs wouldn't get -Wall

The OSSP uuid.h file includes unistd.h, so to use it with MSVC we need to
include the postgres include directories so it picks up our version of
that in src/include/port/win32_msvc. Adjust the meson test accordingly.
Commit 619bc23a1 changed "make dist" to invoke "git archive",
but hard-wired the call to specify that the HEAD revision should
be packaged. Our tarball building process needs to be able to
specify which git commit to package (notably, for packaging
back branches). While we could make that work with some hackery
to operate in detached-HEAD state, it's a lot nicer just to expose
git archive's ability to specify what to package. Hence, invent
a new make variable PG_GIT_REVISION. This is undocumented, but
so is "make dist".
Also make corresponding changes in the meson scripts. We have no
near-term intention of using that for package building, but it
will likely happen eventually, so stay prepared.

Presently, pg_popcount() processes data in 32-bit or 64-bit chunks
when possible. Newer hardware that supports AVX-512 instructions
can use 512-bit chunks, which provides a nice speedup, especially
for larger buffers. This commit introduces the infrastructure
required to detect compiler and CPU support for the required
AVX-512 intrinsic functions, and it adds a new pg_popcount()
implementation that uses these functions. If CPU support for this
optimized implementation is detected at runtime, a function pointer
is updated so that it is used by subsequent calls to pg_popcount().
Most of the existing in-tree calls to pg_popcount() should benefit
from these instructions, and calls with smaller buffers should at
least not regress compared to v16. The new infrastructure
introduced by this commit can also be used to optimize
visibilitymap_count(), but that is left for a follow-up commit.

This changes "make dist" to directly use "git archive", rather than
the custom shell script it currently runs.
This is to make the creation of the distribution tarball more directly
traceable to the git repository. That is why we removed the "make
distprep" step.
"make dist" continues to produce a .gz and a .bz2 tarball as before.
The archives produced this way are deterministic and reproducible,
meaning for a given commit the result file should always be
bit-for-bit identical. The exception is that if you use a git version
older than 2.38.0, gzip records the platform in the archive, so you'd
get a different output on Windows vs. macOS vs. "UNIX" (everything
else). In git 2.38.0, this was changed so that everything is recorded
as "UNIX" now. This is just something to keep in mind. This issue is
specific to the gzip format, it does not affect other compression
formats.
Meson has its own distribution building command (meson dist), but we
are not using that at this point. The main problem is that, the way
they have implemented it, it is not deterministic in the above sense.
Also, we want a "make" version for the time being. But the target
name "dist" in meson is reserved for that reason, so we call the
custom target "pgdist" (so call something like "meson compile -C build
pgdist").

Starting with the Sonoma toolchain macos' linker emits warnings when the same
library is linked to twice. That's ill considered, as the same library can be
used by multiple subsidiary libraries. Luckily there's a flag to suppress that
warning.
On Ventura meson's default of -Wl,-undefined,dynamic_lookup caused warnings,
which we suppressed with -Wl,-undefined,error. Unfortunately that causes a
warning on Sonoma, which is absurd, as it's documented linker default. To
avoid that warning, only add -Wl,-undefined,error if it does not trigger
warnings. Luckily dynamic_lookup doesn't trigger a warning on Sonoma anymore.

There isn't a lot of user demand for AIX support, we have a bunch of
hacks to work around AIX-specific compiler bugs and idiosyncrasies,
and no one has stepped up to the plate to properly maintain it.
Remove support for AIX to get rid of that maintenance overhead. It's
still supported for stable versions.
The acute issue that triggered this decision was that after commit
8af2565248, the AIX buildfarm members have been hitting this
assertion:
TRAP: failed Assert("(uintptr_t) buffer == TYPEALIGN(PG_IO_ALIGN_SIZE, buffer)"), File: "md.c", Line: 472, PID: 2949728
Apperently the "pg_attribute_aligned(a)" attribute doesn't work on AIX
for values larger than PG_IO_ALIGN_SIZE, for a static const variable.
That could be worked around, but we decided to just drop the AIX support
instead.

Injection points are a new facility that makes possible for developers
to run custom code in pre-defined code paths. Its goal is to provide
ways to design and run advanced tests, for cases like:
- Race conditions, where processes need to do actions in a controlled
ordered manner.
- Forcing a state, like an ERROR, FATAL or even PANIC for OOM, to force
recovery, etc.
- Arbitrary sleeps.
This implements some basics, and there are plans to extend it more in
the future depending on what's required. Hence, this commit adds a set
of routines in the backend that allows developers to attach, detach and
run injection points:
- A code path calling an injection point can be declared with the macro
INJECTION_POINT(name).
- InjectionPointAttach() and InjectionPointDetach() to respectively
attach and detach a callback to/from an injection point. An injection
point name is registered in a shmem hash table with a library name and a
function name, which will be used to load the callback attached to an
injection point when its code path is run.
Injection point names are just strings, so as an injection point can be
declared and run by out-of-core extensions and modules, with callbacks
defined in external libraries.
This facility is hidden behind a dedicated switch for ./configure and
meson, disabled by default.
Note that backends use a local cache to store callbacks already loaded,
cleaning up their cache if a callback has found to be removed on a
best-effort basis. This could be refined further but any tests but what
we have here was fine with the tests I've written while implementing
these backend APIs.
