The previous coding assumed that we could just let buffers for the
database's old tablespace age out of the buffer arena naturally.
The folly of that is exposed by bug #11867 from Marc Munro: the user could
later move the database back to its original tablespace, after which any
still-surviving buffers would match lookups again and appear to contain
valid data. But they'd be missing any changes applied while the database
was in the new tablespace.
This has been broken since ALTER SET TABLESPACE was introduced, so
back-patch to all supported branches.

As noted by Noah Misch, my initial cut at fixing bug #11638 didn't cover
all cases where ANALYZE might be invoked in an unsafe context. We need to
test the result of IsInTransactionChain not IsTransactionBlock; which is
notationally a pain because IsInTransactionChain requires an isTopLevel
flag, which would have to be passed down through several levels of callers.
I chose to pass in_outer_xact (ie, the result of IsInTransactionChain)
rather than isTopLevel per se, as that seemed marginally more apropos
for the intermediate functions to know about.

VACUUM and ANALYZE update the target table's pg_class row in-place, that is
nontransactionally. This is OK, more or less, for the statistical columns,
which are mostly nontransactional anyhow. It's not so OK for the DDL hint
flags (relhasindex etc), which might get changed in response to
transactional changes that could still be rolled back. This isn't a
problem for VACUUM, since it can't be run inside a transaction block nor
in parallel with DDL on the table. However, we allow ANALYZE inside a
transaction block, so if the transaction had earlier removed the last
index, rule, or trigger from the table, and then we roll back the
transaction after ANALYZE, the table would be left in a corrupted state
with the hint flags not set though they should be.
To fix, suppress the hint-flag updates if we are InTransactionBlock().
This is safe enough because it's always OK to postpone hint maintenance
some more; the worst-case consequence is a few extra searches of pg_index
et al. There was discussion of instead using a transactional update,
but that would change the behavior in ways that are not all desirable:
in most scenarios we're better off keeping ANALYZE's statistical values
even if the ANALYZE itself rolls back. In any case we probably don't want
to change this behavior in back branches.
Per bug #11638 from Casey Shobe. This has been broken for a good long
time, so back-patch to all supported branches.

1. The comparison for matching terms used only the CRC to decide if there's
a match. Two different terms with the same CRC gave a match.
2. It assumed that if the second operand has more terms than the first, it's
never a match. That assumption is bogus, because there can be duplicate
terms in either operand.
Rewrite the implementation in a way that doesn't have those bugs.

Since we taught btree to handle ScalarArrayOpExpr quals natively (commit
9e8da0f75731aaa7605cf4656c21ea09e84d2eb1), the planner has always included
ScalarArrayOpExpr quals in index conditions if possible. However, if the
qual is for a non-first index column, this could result in an inferior plan
because we can no longer take advantage of index ordering (cf. commit
807a40c551dd30c8dd5a0b3bd82f5bbb1e7fd285). It can be better to omit the
ScalarArrayOpExpr qual from the index condition and let it be done as a
filter, so that the output doesn't need to get sorted. Indeed, this is
true for the query introduced as a test case by the latter commit.
To fix, restructure get_index_paths and build_index_paths so that we
consider paths both with and without ScalarArrayOpExpr quals in non-first
index columns. Redesign the API of build_index_paths so that it reports
what it found, saving useless second or third calls.

Windows has one a locale whose name contains a non-ASCII character:
"Norwegian (Bokmål)" (that's an 'a' with a ring on top). That causes
trouble; when passing it setlocale(), it's not clear what encoding the
argument should be in. Another problem is that the locale name is stored in
pg_database catalog table, and the encoding used there depends on what
server encoding happens to be in use when the database is created. For
example, if you issue the CREATE DATABASE when connected to a UTF-8
database, the locale name is stored in pg_database in UTF-8. As long as all
locale names are pure ASCII, that's not a problem.
To work around that, map the troublesome locale name to a pure-ASCII alias
of the same locale, "norwegian-bokmal".
Now, this doesn't change the existing values that are already in
pg_database and in postgresql.conf. Old clusters will need to be fixed
manually. Instructions for that need to be put in the release notes.
This fixes bug #11431 reported by Alon Siman-Tov. Backpatch to 9.2;
backpatching further would require more work than seems worth it.

Don't crash if an ispell dictionary definition contains flags but not
any compound affixes. (This isn't a security issue since only superusers
can install affix files, but still it's a bad thing.)
Also, be more careful about detecting whether an affix-file FLAG command
is old-format (ispell) or new-format (myspell/hunspell). And change the
error message about mixed old-format and new-format commands into something
intelligible.

Previously the archive recovery always created .ready file for
the last WAL file of the old timeline at the end of recovery even when
it's restored from the archive and has .done file. That is, there was
the case where the WAL file had both .ready and .done files.
This caused the already-archived WAL file to be archived again.
This commit prevents the archive recovery from creating .ready file
for the last WAL file if it has .done file, in order to prevent it from
being archived again.
This bug was added when cascading replication feature was introduced,

The EOF-detection logic in pqReadData was a bit confused about who should
set up the error message in case the kernel gives us read-ready-but-no-data
rather than ECONNRESET or some other explicit error condition. Since the
whole point of this situation is that the lower-level functions don't know
there's anything wrong, pqReadData itself must set up the message. But
keep the assumption that if an errno was reported, a message was set up at
lower levels.

CREATE DATABASE and ALTER DATABASE .. SET TABLESPACE copy the source
database directory on the filesystem level. To ensure the on disk
state is consistent they block out users of the affected database and
force a checkpoint to flush out all data to disk. Unfortunately, up to
now, that checkpoint didn't flush out dirty buffers from unlogged
relations.
That bug means there could be leftover dirty buffers in either the
template database, or the database in its old location. Leading to
problems when accessing relations in an inconsistent state; and to
possible problems during shutdown in the SET TABLESPACE case because
buffers belonging files that don't exist anymore are flushed.
This was reported in bug #10675 by Maxim Boguk.

Follow our usual style of providing an "extern" for a standard library
function only when we're also providing the implementation. This avoids
issues when the system headers declare the function slightly differently
than we do, as noted by Caleb Welton.
We might have to go to the extent of probing to see if the system headers
declare the function, but let's not do that until it's demonstrated to be
necessary.

This reverts nearly all of commit 28f6cab61ab8958b1a7dfb019724687d92722538

in 9.0 because that version rejects the syntax "create type t as ()", but
we might as well keep the logic similar in all affected branches.

Up to now, PG has assumed that any given timezone abbreviation (such as
"EDT") represents a constant GMT offset in the usage of any particular
region; we had a way to configure what that offset was, but not for it
to be changeable over time. But, as with most things horological, this
view of the world is too simplistic: there are numerous regions that have
at one time or another switched to a different GMT offset but kept using
the same timezone abbreviation. Almost the entire Russian Federation did
that a few years ago, and later this month they're going to do it again.
And there are similar examples all over the world.
To cope with this, invent the notion of a "dynamic timezone abbreviation",
which is one that is referenced to a particular underlying timezone
(as defined in the IANA timezone database) and means whatever it currently
means in that zone. For zones that use or have used daylight-savings time,
the standard and DST abbreviations continue to have the property that you
can specify standard or DST time and get that time offset whether or not
DST was theoretically in effect at the time. However, the abbreviations
mean what they meant at the time in question (or most recently before that
time) rather than being absolutely fixed.
The standard abbreviation-list files have been changed to use this behavior
for abbreviations that have actually varied in meaning since 1970. The
old simple-numeric definitions are kept for abbreviations that have not
changed, since they are a bit faster to resolve.
While this is clearly a new feature, it seems necessary to back-patch it
into all active branches, because otherwise use of Russian zone
abbreviations is going to become even more problematic than it already was.
This change supersedes the changes in commit 513d06ded et al to modify the
fixed meanings of the Russian abbreviations; since we've not shipped that
yet, this will avoid an undesirably incompatible (not to mention incorrect)
change in behavior for timestamps between 2011 and 2014.
This patch makes some cosmetic changes in ecpglib to keep its usage of
datetime lookup tables as similar as possible to the backend code, but
doesn't do anything about the increasingly obsolete set of timezone
abbreviation definitions that are hard-wired into ecpglib. Whatever we
do about that will likely not be appropriate material for back-patching.
Also, a potential free() of a garbage pointer after an out-of-memory
failure in ecpglib has been fixed.
This patch also fixes pre-existing bugs in DetermineTimeZoneOffset() that
caused it to produce unexpected results near a timezone transition, if
both the "before" and "after" states are marked as standard time. We'd
only ever thought about or tested transitions between standard and DST
time, but that's not what's happening when a zone simply redefines their
base GMT offset.
In passing, update the SGML documentation to refer to the Olson/zoneinfo/
zic timezone database as the "IANA" database, since it's now being
maintained under the auspices of IANA.

The code wrote a value into the caller's field[] array before checking

I fixed the equivalent bug in the backend's version of this code way back
in 630684d3a130bb93, but failed to think about ecpg's copy. Fortunately
this doesn't look like it would be exploitable for anything worse than a
core dump: an external attacker would have no control over the single word
that gets written.

Most zones in the Russian Federation are subtracting one or two hours
as of 2014-10-26. Update the meanings of the abbreviations IRKT, KRAT,
MAGT, MSK, NOVT, OMST, SAKT, VLAT, YAKT, YEKT to match.
The IANA timezone database has adopted abbreviations of the form AxST/AxDT
for all Australian time zones, reflecting what they believe to be current
majority practice Down Under. These names do not conflict with usage
elsewhere (other than ACST for Acre Summer Time, which has been in disuse
since 1994). Accordingly, adopt these names into our "Default" timezone
abbreviation set. The "Australia" abbreviation set now contains only
CST,EAST,EST,SAST,SAT,WST, all of which are thought to be mostly historical
usage. Note that SAST has also been changed to be South Africa Standard
Time in the "Default" abbreviation set.
Add zone abbreviations SRET (Asia/Srednekolymsk) and XJT (Asia/Urumqi),
and use WSST/WSDT for western Samoa.
Also a DST law change in the Turks & Caicos Islands (America/Grand_Turk),
and numerous corrections for historical time zone data.

This updates known_abbrevs.txt to be what it should have been already,
were my -P patch not broken; and updates some tznames/ entries that
missed getting any love in previous timezone data updates because zic
failed to flag the change of abbreviation.
The non-cosmetic updates:
* Remove references to "ADT" as "Arabia Daylight Time", an abbreviation
that's been out of use since 2007; therefore, claiming there is a conflict
with "Atlantic Daylight Time" doesn't seem especially helpful. (We have
left obsolete entries in the files when they didn't conflict with anything,
but that seems like a different situation.)
* Fix entirely incorrect GMT offsets for CKT (Cook Islands), FJT, FJST
(Fiji); we didn't even have them on the proper side of the date line.
(Seems to have been aboriginal errors in our tznames data; there's no
evidence anything actually changed recently.)
* FKST (Falkland Islands Summer Time) is now used all year round, so
don't mark it as a DST abbreviation.
* Update SAKT (Sakhalin) to mean GMT+11 not GMT+10.
In cosmetic changes, I fixed a bunch of wrong (or at least obsolete)
claims about abbreviations not being present in the zic files, and
tried to be consistent about how obsolete abbreviations are labeled.
Note the underlying timezone/data files are still at release 2014e;
this is just trying to get us in sync with what those files actually
say before we go to the next update.

When there are cost-delay-related storage options set for a table,
trying to make that table participate in the autovacuum cost-limit
balancing algorithm produces undesirable results: instead of using the
configured values, the global values are always used,
as illustrated by Mark Kirkwood in
http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/52FACF15.8020507@catalyst.net.nz
Since the mechanism is already complicated, just disable it for those
cases rather than trying to make it cope. There are undesirable
side-effects from this too, namely that the total I/O impact on the
system will be higher whenever such tables are vacuumed. However, this
is seen as less harmful than slowing down vacuum, because that would
cause bloat to accumulate. Anyway, in the new system it is possible to
tweak options to get the precise behavior one wants, whereas with the
previous system one was simply hosed.
This has been broken forever, so backpatch to all supported branches.
This might affect systems where cost_limit and cost_delay have been set
for individual tables.

As of commit a87c72915 (which later got backpatched as far as 9.1),
we're explicitly supporting the notion that append relations can be
nested; this can occur when UNION ALL constructs are nested, or when
a UNION ALL contains a table with inheritance children.
Bug #11457 from Nelson Page, as well as an earlier report from Elvis
Pranskevichus, showed that there were still nasty bugs associated with such
cases: in particular the EquivalenceClass mechanism could try to generate
"join" clauses connecting an appendrel child to some grandparent appendrel,
which would result in assertion failures or bogus plans.
Upon investigation I concluded that all current callers of
find_childrel_appendrelinfo() need to be fixed to explicitly consider
multiple levels of parent appendrels. The most complex fix was in
processing of "broken" EquivalenceClasses, which are ECs for which we have
been unable to generate all the derived equality clauses we would like to
because of missing cross-type equality operators in the underlying btree
operator family. That code path is more or less entirely untested by
the regression tests to date, because no standard opfamilies have such
holes in them. So I wrote a new regression test script to try to exercise
it a bit, which turned out to be quite a worthwhile activity as it exposed
existing bugs in all supported branches.
The present patch is essentially the same as far back as 9.2, which is
where parameterized paths were introduced. In 9.0 and 9.1, we only need
to back-patch a small fragment of commit 5b7b5518d, which fixes failure to
propagate out the original WHERE clauses when a broken EC contains constant
members. (The regression test case results show that these older branches
are noticeably stupider than 9.2+ in terms of the quality of the plans
generated; but we don't really care about plan quality in such cases,
only that the plan not be outright wrong. A more invasive fix in the
older branches would not be a good idea anyway from a plan-stability
standpoint.)

When the number of allowed iterations is limited (either a "?" quantifier
or a bound expression), the last sub-match has to reach to the end of the
target string. The previous coding here first tried the shortest possible
match (one character, usually) and then gave up and back-tracked if that
didn't work, typically leading to failure to match overall, as shown in
bug #11478 from Christoph Berg. The minimum change to fix that would be to
not decrement k before "goto backtrack"; but that would be a pretty stupid
solution, because we'd laboriously try each possible sub-match length
before finally discovering that only ending at the end can work. Instead,
force the sub-match endpoint limit up to the end for even the first
shortest() call if we cannot have any more sub-matches after this one.
Bug introduced in my rewrite that added the iterdissect logic, commit
173e29aa5deefd9e71c183583ba37805c8102a72. The shortest-first search code
was too closely modeled on the longest-first code, which hasn't got this
issue since it tries a match reaching to the end to start with anyway.

x86's memory barrier assembly was marked as clobbering "memory" but
not "cc" even though 'addl' sets various flags. As it turns out gcc on

it's not a bug. But as that's poorly documented and might get copied
to architectures or compilers where that's not the case, it seems
better to be precise.

In psql, expanded mode was not being displayed correctly when using
the normal ascii or unicode linestyles and border set to '3'. Now,
per the documentation, border '3' is really only sensible for HTML
and LaTeX formats, however, that's no excuse for ascii/unicode to
break in that case, and provisions had been made for psql to cleanly
handle this case (and it did, in non-expanded mode).
This was broken when ascii/unicode was initially added a good five
years ago because print_aligned_vertical_line wasn't passed in the
border setting being used by print_aligned_vertical but instead was
given the whole printTableContent. There really isn't a good reason
for vertical_line to have the entire printTableContent structure, so
just pass in the printTextFormat and border setting (similar to how
this is handled in horizontal_line).

The code for raising a NUMERIC value to an integer power wasn't very
careful about large powers. It got an outright wrong answer for an
exponent of INT_MIN, due to failure to consider overflow of the Abs(exp)
operation; which is fixable by using an unsigned rather than signed
exponent value after that point. Also, even though the number of
iterations of the power-computation loop is pretty limited, it's easy for
the repeated squarings to result in ridiculously enormous intermediate
values, which can take unreasonable amounts of time/memory to process,
or even overflow the internal "weight" field and so produce a wrong answer.
We can forestall misbehaviors of that sort by bailing out as soon as the
weight value exceeds what will fit in int16, since then the final answer
must overflow (if exp > 0) or underflow (if exp < 0) the packed numeric
format.

psql's \s (print command history) doesn't work at all with recent libedit
versions when printing to the terminal, because libedit tries to do an
fchmod() on the target file which will fail if the target is /dev/tty.
(We'd already noted this in the context of the target being /dev/null.)
Even before that, it didn't work pleasantly, because libedit likes to
encode the command history file (to ensure successful reloading), which
renders it nigh unreadable, not to mention significantly different-looking
depending on exactly which libedit version you have. So let's forget using
write_history() for this purpose, and instead print the data ourselves,
using logic similar to that used to iterate over the history for newline
encoding/decoding purposes.
While we're at it, insert the ability to use the pager when \s is printing
to the terminal. This has been an acknowledged shortcoming of \s for many
years, so while you could argue it's not exactly a back-patchable bug fix
it still seems like a good improvement. Anyone who's seriously annoyed
at this can use "\s /dev/tty" or local equivalent to get the old behavior.
Experimentation with this showed that the history iteration logic was
actually rather broken when used with libedit. It turns out that with
libedit you have to use previous_history() not next_history() to advance
to more recent history entries. The easiest and most robust fix for this
seems to be to make a run-time test to verify which function to call.
We had not noticed this because libedit doesn't really need the newline
encoding logic: its own encoding ensures that command entries containing
newlines are reloaded correctly (unlike libreadline). So the effective
behavior with recent libedits was that only the oldest history entry got
newline-encoded or newline-decoded. However, because of yet other bugs in
history_set_pos(), some old versions of libedit allowed the existing loop
logic to reach entries besides the oldest, which means there may be libedit
~/.psql_history files out there containing encoded newlines in more than
just the oldest entry. To ensure we can reload such files, it seems
appropriate to back-patch this fix, even though that will result in some
incompatibility with older psql versions (ie, multiline history entries
written by a psql with this fix will look corrupted to a psql without it,
if its libedit is reasonably up to date).

In commit 0ca6bda8e7501947c05f30c127f6d12ff90b5a64, I rewrote the json.c
code that decided how to convert SQL data types into JSON values, so that
it no longer relied on typcategory which is a pretty untrustworthy guide
to the output format of user-defined datatypes. However, I overlooked the
fact that CREATE DOMAIN inherits typcategory from the base type, so that
the old coding did have the desirable property of treating domains like
their base types --- but only in some cases, because not all its decisions
turned on typcategory. The version of the patch that went into 9.4 and
up did a getBaseType() call to ensure that domains were always treated
like their base types, but I omitted that from the older branches, because
it would result in a behavioral change for domains over json or hstore;
a change that's arguably a bug fix, but nonetheless a change that users
had not asked for. What I overlooked was that this meant that domains
over numerics and boolean were no longer treated like their base types,
and that we *did* get a complaint about, ie bug #11103 from David Grelaud.
So let's do the getBaseType() call in the older branches as well, to
restore their previous behavior in these cases. That means 9.2 and 9.3
will now make these decisions just like 9.4. We could probably kluge
things to still ignore the domain's base type if it's json etc, but that
seems a bit silly.

Such cases are disallowed by the SQL spec, and even if we wanted to allow
them, the semantics seem ambiguous: how should the FK columns be matched up
with the columns of a unique index? (The matching could be significant in
the presence of opclasses with different notions of equality, so this issue
isn't just academic.) However, our code did not previously reject such
cases, but instead would either fail to match to any unique index, or
generate a bizarre opclass-lookup error because of sloppy thinking in the
index-matching code.

When autovacuum is nominally off, we will still launch autovac workers
to vacuum tables that are at risk of XID wraparound. But after we'd done
that, an autovac worker would proceed to autovacuum every table in the
targeted database, if they meet the usual thresholds for autovacuuming.
This is at best pretty unexpected; at worst it delays response to the
wraparound threat. Fix it so that if autovacuum is nominally off, we
*only* do forced vacuums and not any other work.
Per gripe from Andrey Zhidenkov. This has been like this all along,
so back-patch to all supported branches.

There were several oversights in recovery code where COMMIT/ABORT PREPARED
records were ignored:
* pg_last_xact_replay_timestamp() (wasn't updated for 2PC commits)
* recovery_min_apply_delay (2PC commits were applied immediately)
* recovery_target_xid (recovery would not stop if the XID used 2PC)
The first of those was reported by Sergiy Zuban in bug #11032, analyzed by
Tom Lane and Andres Freund. The bug was always there, but was masked before
commit d19bd29f07aef9e508ff047d128a4046cc8bc1e2, because COMMIT PREPARED
always created an extra regular transaction that was WAL-logged.
Backpatch to all supported versions (older versions didn't have all the
features and therefore didn't have all of the above bugs).

findDependencyLoops() was not bright about cases where there are multiple
dependency paths between the same two dumpable objects. In most scenarios
this did not hurt us too badly; but since the introduction of section
boundary pseudo-objects in commit a1ef01fe163b304760088e3e30eb22036910a495,
it was possible for this code to take unreasonable amounts of time (tens
of seconds on a database with a couple thousand objects), as reported in
bug #11033 from Joe Van Dyk. Joe's particular problem scenario involved
"pg_dump -a" mode with long chains of foreign key constraints, but I think
that similar problems could arise with other situations as long as there
were enough objects. To fix, add a flag array that lets us notice when we
arrive at the same object again while searching from a given start object.
This simple change seems to be enough to eliminate the performance problem.
Back-patch to 9.1, like the patch that introduced section boundary objects.

This is consistent with the POSIX verdict that kill() shall not report
ESRCH for a zombie process. Back-patch to 9.0 (all supported versions).
Test code from commit d7cdf6ee36adeac9233678fb8f2a112e6678a770 depends
on it, and log messages about kill() reporting "Invalid argument" will
cease to appear for this not-unexpected condition.

Commit d7cdf6ee36adeac9233678fb8f2a112e6678a770 introduced a usage
thereof. Back-patch to 9.0, like that commit.

get_raw_page tried to validate the supplied block number against
RelationGetNumberOfBlocks(), which of course is only right when
accessing the main fork. In most cases, the main fork is longer
than the others, so that the check was too weak (allowing a
lower-level error to be reported, but no real harm to be done).
However, very small tables could have an FSM larger than their heap,
in which case the mistake prevented access to some FSM pages.
Per report from Torsten Foertsch.
In passing, make the bad-block-number error into an ereport not elog
(since it's certainly not an internal error); and fix sloppily
maintained comment for RelationGetNumberOfBlocksInFork.
This has been wrong since we invented relation forks, so back-patch
to all supported branches.

With OpenLDAP versions 2.4.24 through 2.4.31, inclusive, PostgreSQL
backends can crash at exit. Raise a warning during "configure" based on
the compile-time OpenLDAP version number, and test the crash scenario in
the dblink test suite. Back-patch to 9.0 (all supported versions).

In commit 631dc390f49909a5c8ebd6002cfb2bcee5415a9d, we started to handle
simple numeric timezone offsets via the zic library instead of the old
CTimeZone/HasCTZSet kluge. However, we overlooked the fact that the zic
code will reject UTC offsets exceeding a week (which seems a bit arbitrary,
but not because it's too tight ...). This led to possibly setting
session_timezone to NULL, which results in crashes in most timezone-related
operations as of 9.4, and crashes in a small number of places even before
that. So check for NULL return from pg_tzset_offset() and report an
appropriate error message. Per bug #11014 from Duncan Gillis.
Back-patch to all supported branches, like the previous patch.
(Unfortunately, as of today that no longer includes 8.4.)
