pg_timezone_names() tries to avoid showing the "Factory" zone in
the view, mainly because that has traditionally had a very long
"abbreviation" such as "Local time zone must be set--see zic manual page",
so that showing it messes up psql's formatting of the whole view.
Since tzdb version 2016g, IANA instead uses the abbreviation "-00",
which is sane enough that there's no reason to discriminate against it.
On the other hand, it emerges that FreeBSD and possibly other packagers
are so wedded to backwards compatibility that they hack the IANA data
to keep the old spelling --- and not just that old spelling, but even
older spellings that IANA used back in the stone age. This caused the
filter logic to fail to suppress "Factory" at all on such platforms,
though the formatting problem is definitely real in that case.
To solve both problems, get rid of the hard-wired assumption about
exactly what Factory's abbreviation is, and instead reject abbreviations
exceeding 31 characters. This will allow Factory to appear in the view
if and only if it's using the modern abbreviation.
In passing, simplify the code we add to zic.c to support "zic -P"
to remove its now-obsolete hacks to not print the Factory zone's
abbreviation. Unlike pg_timezone_names(), there's no reason for
that code to support old/nonstandard timezone data.
Since we generally prefer to keep timezone-related behavior the
same in all branches, and since this is arguably a bug fix,
back-patch to all supported branches.

Some platforms create a file named "localtime" in the system
timezone directory, making it a copy or link to the active time
zone file. If Postgres is built with --with-system-tzdata, initdb
will see that file as an exact match to localtime(3)'s behavior,
and it may decide that "localtime" is the most preferred spelling of
the active zone. That's a very bad choice though, because it's
neither informative, nor portable, nor stable if someone changes
the system timezone setting. Extend the preference logic added by
commit e3846a00c so that we will prefer any other zone file that
matches localtime's behavior over "localtime".
On the same logic, also discriminate against "posixrules", which
is another not-really-a-zone file that is often present in the
timezone directory. (Since we install "posixrules" but not
"localtime", this change can affect the behavior of Postgres
with or without --with-system-tzdata.)
Note that this change doesn't prevent anyone from choosing these
pseudo-zones if they really want to (i.e., by setting TZ for initdb,
or modifying the timezone GUC later on). It just prevents initdb
from preferring these zone names when there are multiple matches to
localtime's behavior.
Since we generally prefer to keep timezone-related behavior the
same in all branches, and since this is arguably a bug fix,
back-patch to all supported branches.

libpq failed to ignore Windows-style newlines in connection service files.
This normally wasn't a problem on Windows itself, because fgets() would
convert \r\n to just \n. But if libpq were running inside a program that
changes the default fopen mode to binary, it would see the \r's and think
they were data. In any case, it's project policy to ignore \r in text
files unconditionally, because people sometimes try to use files with
DOS-style newlines on Unix machines, where the C library won't hide that
from us.
Hence, adjust parseServiceFile() to ignore \r as well as \n at the end of
the line. In HEAD, go a little further and make it ignore all trailing
whitespace, to match what it's always done with leading whitespace.
In HEAD, also run around and fix up everyplace where we have
newline-chomping code to make all those places look consistent and
uniformly drop \r. It is not clear whether any of those changes are
fixing live bugs. Most of the non-cosmetic changes are in places that
are reading popen output, and the jury is still out as to whether popen
on Windows can return \r\n. (The Windows-specific code in pipe_read_line
seems to think so, but our lack of support for this elsewhere suggests
maybe it's not a problem in practice.) Hence, I desisted from applying
those changes to back branches, except in run_ssl_passphrase_command()
which is new enough and little-tested enough that we'd probably not have
heard about any problems there.

describeOneTableDetails issued a partition-constraint-fetching query
for every table, even ones it knows perfectly well are not partitions.
To add insult to injury, it then proceeded to leak the empty PGresult
if the table wasn't a partition. Doing that a lot of times might
amount to a meaningful leak, so this seems like a back-patchable bug.
Fix that, and also fix a related PGresult leak in the partition-parent
case (though that leak would occur only if we got no row, which is
unexpected).
Minor code beautification too, to make this code look more like the
pre-existing code around it.
Back-patch the whole change into v12. However, the fact that we already
know whether the table is a partition dates only to commit 1af25ca0c;
back-patching the relevant changes from that is probably more churn
than is justified in released branches. Hence, in v11 and v10, just
do the minimum to fix the PGresult leaks.

The logic in ATExecDropColumn that rejects dropping partition key
columns is quite an inadequate defense, because it doesn't execute
in cases where a column needs to be dropped due to cascade from
something that only the column, not the whole partitioned table,
depends on. That leaves us with a badly broken partitioned table;
even an attempt to load its relcache entry will fail.
We really need to have explicit pg_depend entries that show that the
column can't be dropped without dropping the whole table. Hence,
add those entries. In v12 and HEAD, bump catversion to ensure that
partitioned tables will have such entries. We can't do that in
released branches of course, so in v10 and v11 this patch affords
protection only to partitioned tables created after the patch is
installed. Given the lack of field complaints (this bug was found
by fuzz-testing not by end users), that's probably good enough.
In passing, fix ATExecDropColumn and ATPrepAlterColumnType

they're complaining about.

A large fraction of this diff is just due to upstream's somewhat
random decision to rename a bunch of internal variables and struct
fields. However, there is an interesting new feature in zic:
it's grown a "-b slim" option that emits zone files without 32-bit
data and other backwards-compatibility hacks. We should consider
whether we wish to enable that.
This should lappend the OIDs, not lcons them; the existing code produced
a list in reversed order. This is harmless for single-key FKs or FKs
where all the key columns are of the same type, which probably explains
how it went unnoticed. But if those conditions are not met,
ATAddForeignKeyConstraint would make the wrong decision about whether an
existing FK needs to be revalidated. I think it would almost always err
in the safe direction by revalidating a constraint that didn't need it.
You could imagine scenarios where the pfeqop check was fooled by
swapping the types of two FK columns in one ALTER TABLE, but that case
would probably be rejected by other tests, so it might be impossible to
get to the worst-case scenario where an FK should be revalidated and
isn't. (And even then, it's likely to be fine, unless there are weird
inconsistencies in the equality behavior of the replacement types.)
However, this is a performance bug at least.
Noted while poking around to see whether lcons calls could be converted
to lappend.
This bug is old, dating to commit cb3a7c2b9, so back-patch to all

d4c3a156c added code to remove columns that were not part of a table's
PRIMARY KEY constraint from the GROUP BY clause when all the primary key
columns were present in the group by. This is fine to do since we know
that there will only be one row per group coming from this relation.
However, the logic failed to consider inheritance parent relations. These
can have child relations without a primary key, but even if they did, they
could duplicate one of the parent's rows or one from another child
relation. In this case, those additional GROUP BY columns are required.
Fix this by disabling the optimization for inheritance parent tables.
In v11 and beyond, partitioned tables are fine since partitions cannot
overlap and before v11 partitioned tables could not have a primary key.

Up to now, the MSVC build scripts are able to support only one fixed
version of OpenSSL, and they lacked logic to detect the version of
OpenSSL a given compilation of Postgres is linking to (currently 1.0.2,

This commit adds more logic to detect the version of OpenSSL used by a

The supported OpenSSL installers have changed their library layer with

This patch reverts all the code changes of commit e76de8861, which turns
out to have been seriously misguided. We can't wait till later to compute
the definition string for an index; we must capture that before applying
the data type change for any column it depends on, else ruleutils.c will
deliverr wrong/misleading results. (This fine point was documented
nowhere, of course.)
I'd also managed to forget that ATExecAlterColumnType executes once per
ALTER COLUMN TYPE clause, not once per statement; which resulted in the
code being basically completely broken for any case in which multiple ALTER
COLUMN TYPE clauses are applied to a table having non-constraint indexes
that must be rebuilt. Through very bad luck, none of the existing test
cases nor the ones added by e76de8861 caught that, but of course it was
soon found in the field.
The previous patch also had an implicit assumption that if a constraint's
index had a dependency on a table column, so would the constraint --- but
that isn't actually true, so it didn't fix such cases.
Instead of trying to delete unneeded index dependencies later, do the
is-there-a-constraint lookup immediately on seeing an index dependency,
and switch to remembering the constraint if so. In the unusual case of
multiple column dependencies for a constraint index, this will result in
duplicate constraint lookups, but that's not that horrible compared to all
the other work that happens here. Besides, such cases did not work at all
before, so it's hard to argue that they're performance-critical for anyone.

Original MIPS-I processors didn't have the LL/SC instructions (nor any
other userland synchronization primitive). If the build toolchain
targets that ISA variant by default, as an astonishingly large fraction
of MIPS platforms still do, the assembler won't take LL/SC without
coercion in the form of a ".set mips2" instruction. But we issued that
unconditionally, making it an ISA downgrade for chips later than MIPS2.
That breaks things for the latest MIPS r6 ISA, which encodes these
instructions differently. Adjust the code so we don't change ISA level
if it's >= 2.
Note that this patch doesn't change what happens on an actual MIPS-I
processor: either the kernel will emulate these instructions
transparently, or you'll get a SIGILL failure. That tradeoff seemed
fine in 2002 when this code was added (cf 3cbe6b247), and it's even
more so today when MIPS-I is basically extinct. But let's add a
comment about that.

This puts back reverted commit de87a084c0, with some bug fixes.
When two (or more) transactions are waiting for transaction T1 to release a
tuple-level lock, and transaction T1 upgrades its lock to a higher level, a
spurious deadlock can be reported among the waiting transactions when T1
finishes. The simplest example case seems to be:
T1: select id from job where name = 'a' for key share;
Y: select id from job where name = 'a' for update; -- starts waiting for T1
Z: select id from job where name = 'a' for key share;
T1: update job set name = 'b' where id = 1;
Z: update job set name = 'c' where id = 1; -- starts waiting for T1
T1: rollback;
At this point, transaction Y is rolled back on account of a deadlock: Y
holds the heavyweight tuple lock and is waiting for the Xmax to be released,
while Z holds part of the multixact and tries to acquire the heavyweight
lock (per protocol) and goes to sleep; once T1 releases its part of the
multixact, Z is awakened only to be put back to sleep on the heavyweight
lock that Y is holding while sleeping. Kaboom.
This can be avoided by having Z skip the heavyweight lock acquisition. As
far as I can see, the biggest downside is that if there are multiple Z
transactions, the order in which they resume after T1 finishes is not
guaranteed.
