In the previous coding, we would look up a relation in RangeVarGetRelid,
lock the resulting OID, and then AcceptInvalidationMessages(). While
this was sufficient to ensure that we noticed any changes to the
relation definition before building the relcache entry, it didn't
handle the possibility that the name we looked up no longer referenced
the same OID. This was particularly problematic in the case where a
table had been dropped and recreated: we'd latch on to the entry for
the old relation and fail later on. Now, we acquire the relation lock
inside RangeVarGetRelid, and retry the name lookup if we notice that
invalidation messages have been processed meanwhile. Many operations
that would previously have failed with an error in the presence of
concurrent DDL will now succeed.
There is a good deal of work remaining to be done here: many callers
of RangeVarGetRelid still pass NoLock for one reason or another. In
addition, nothing in this patch guards against the possibility that
the meaning of an unqualified name might change due to the creation
of a relation in a schema earlier in the user's search path than the
one where it was previously found. Furthermore, there's nothing at
all here to guard against similar race conditions for non-relations.
For all that, it's a start.

We were using GetConfigOption to collect the old value of each setting,
overlooking the possibility that it didn't exist yet. This does happen
in the case of adding a new entry within a custom variable class, as
exhibited in bug #6097 from Maxim Boguk.
To fix, add a missing_ok parameter to GetConfigOption, but only in 9.1
and HEAD --- it seems possible that some third-party code is using that
function, so changing its API in a minor release would cause problems.
In 9.0, create a near-duplicate function instead.

detect postmaster death. Postmaster keeps the write-end of the pipe open,
so when it dies, children get EOF in the read-end. That can conveniently
be waited for in select(), which allows eliminating some of the polling
loops that check for postmaster death. This patch doesn't yet change all
the loops to use the new mechanism, expect a follow-on patch to do that.
This changes the interface to WaitLatch, so that it takes as argument a
bitmask of events that it waits for. Possible events are latch set, timeout,
postmaster death, and socket becoming readable or writeable.
The pipe method behaves slightly differently from the kill() method
previously used in PostmasterIsAlive() in the case that postmaster has died,
but its parent has not yet read its exit code with waitpid(). The pipe
returns EOF as soon as the process dies, but kill() continues to return
true until waitpid() has been called (IOW while the process is a zombie).
Because of that, change PostmasterIsAlive() to use the pipe too, otherwise
WaitLatch() would return immediately with WL_POSTMASTER_DEATH, while
PostmasterIsAlive() would claim it's still alive. That could easily lead to
busy-waiting while postmaster is in zombie state.

on the finished list, and we shouldn't flag it as a potential conflict
if so. We can also skip adding a doomed transaction to the list of
possible conflicts because we know it won't commit.

transactions might not match the order the work done in those transactions
become visible to others. The logic in SSI, however, assumed that it does.
Fix that by having two sequence numbers for each serializable transaction,
one taken before a transaction becomes visible to others, and one after it.
This is easier than trying to make the the transition totally atomic, which
would require holding ProcArrayLock and SerializableXactHashLock at the same
time. By using prepareSeqNo instead of commitSeqNo in a few places where
commit sequence numbers are compared, we can make those comparisons err on
the safe side when we don't know for sure which committed first.
Per analysis by Kevin Grittner and Dan Ports, but this approach to fix it
is different from the original patch.

The value when BLCKSZ = 8192 is unchanged, but with larger-than-normal

If there's a dangerous structure T0 ---> T1 ---> T2, and T2 commits first,
we need to abort something. If T2 commits before both conflicts appear,
then it should be caught by OnConflict_CheckForSerializationFailure. If
both conflicts appear before T2 commits, it should be caught by
PreCommit_CheckForSerializationFailure. But that is actually run when
T2 *prepares*. Fix that in OnConflict_CheckForSerializationFailure, by
treating a prepared T2 as if it committed already.
This is mostly a problem for prepared transactions, which are in prepared
state for some time, but also for regular transactions because they also go
through the prepared state in the SSI code for a short moment when they're
committed.

In the process, remove almost all knowledge of individual .y and .l files,
and instead get invocation settings from the relevant make files.
The exception is plpgsql's gram.y, which has a target with a different
name. It is hoped that this will make the scripts more future-proof,
so that they won't require adjustment every time we add a new .l or .y
file.
The logic is also notably less tortured than that forced on us
by the idiosyncrasies of the Windows command processor.
The .bat files are kept as thin wrappers for the perl scripts.

get_op_btree_interpretation assumed this in order to save some duplication
of code, but it's not true in general anymore because we added <> support
to btree_gist. (We still assume it for btree opclasses, though.)
Also, essentially the same logic was baked into predtest.c. Get rid of
that duplication by generalizing get_op_btree_interpretation so that it
can be used by predtest.c.

postmaster.log", or nohup.
There was a small issue with LINUX_OOM_ADJ and silent_mode, namely that with
silent_mode the postmaster process incorrectly used the OOM settings meant
for backend processes. We certainly could've fixed that directly, but since
silent_mode was redundant anyway, we might as well just remove it.

Unlike the relistemp field which it replaced, relpersistence must be
set correctly quite early during the table creation process, as we
rely on it quite early on for a number of purposes, including security
checks. Normally, this is set based on whether the user enters CREATE
TABLE, CREATE UNLOGGED TABLE, or CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE, but a
relation may also be made implicitly temporary by creating it in
pg_temp. This patch fixes the handling of that case, and also
disables creation of unlogged tables in temporary tablespace (such
table indeed skip WAL-logging, but we reject an explicit
specification) and creation of relations in the temporary schemas of
other sessions (which is not very sensible, and didn't work right
anyway).

Certain subdirectories do not get built if corresponding options are not
selected at configure time. However, "make distprep" should visit such
directories anyway, so that constructing derived files to be included in
the tarball happens without requiring all configure options to be given
in the tarball build script. Likewise, it's better if cleanup actions
unconditionally visit all directories (for example, this ensures proper
cleanup if someone has done a manual make in such a subdirectory).
To handle this, set up a convention that subdirectories that are
conditionally included in SUBDIRS should be added to ALWAYS_SUBDIRS
instead when they are excluded.
Back-patch to 9.1, so that plpython's spiexceptions.h will get provided
in 9.1 tarballs. There don't appear to be any instances where distprep
actions got missed in previous releases, and anyway this fix requires
gmake 3.80 so we don't want to apply it before 9.1.

This is the proper fix for bug #6082 about
pg_stat_reset_shared(NULL) causing a crash, and it reverts
commit 79aa44536f3980d324f486504cde643ce23bf5c6 on head.
The workaround of throwing an error from inside the function is
left on backbranches (including 9.1) since this change requires
a new initdb.

This means that they can initially be added to a large existing table
without checking its initial contents, but new tuples must comply to
them; a separate pass invoked by ALTER TABLE / VALIDATE can verify
existing data and ensure it complies with the constraint, at which point
it is marked validated and becomes a normal part of the table ecosystem.
An non-validated CHECK constraint is ignored in the planner for
constraint_exclusion purposes; when validated, cached plans are
recomputed so that partitioning starts working right away.
This patch also enables domains to have unvalidated CHECK constraints
attached to them as well by way of ALTER DOMAIN / ADD CONSTRAINT / NOT
VALID, which can later be validated with ALTER DOMAIN / VALIDATE
CONSTRAINT.

Such a condition is unsatisfiable in combination with any other type of
btree-indexable condition (since we assume btree operators are always
strict). 8.3 and 8.4 had an explicit test for this, which I removed in
commit 29c4ad98293e3c5cb3fcdd413a3f4904efff8762, mistakenly thinking that
the case would be subsumed by the more general handling of IS (NOT) NULL
added in that patch. Put it back, and improve the comments about it, and
add a regression test case.
Per bug #6079 from Renat Nasyrov, and analysis by Dean Rasheed.

more consistent that way, since all the other PredicateLock* calls are
made in various heapam.c and index AM functions. The call in nodeSeqscan.c
was unnecessarily aggressive anyway, there's no need to try to lock the
relation every time a tuple is fetched, it's enough to do it once.
This has the user-visible effect that if a seq scan is initialized in the
executor, but never executed, we now acquire the predicate lock on the heap
relation anyway. We could avoid that by taking the lock on the first
heap_getnext() call instead, but it doesn't seem worth the trouble given
that it feels more natural to do it in heap_beginscan().
Also, remove the retail PredicateLockTuple() calls from heap_getnext(). In
a seqscan, started with heap_begin(), we're holding a whole-relation
predicate lock on the heap so there's no need to lock the tuples
individually.

The previous coding was ugly, as it marked special tokens as such in the
wrong stage, relying on workarounds to figure out if they had been
quoted in the original or not. This made it impossible to have specific
keywords be recognized as such only in certain positions in HBA lines,
for example. Fix by restructuring the parser code so that it remembers
whether tokens were quoted or not. This eliminates widespread knowledge
of possible known keywords for all fields.
Also improve memory management in this area, to use memory contexts that
are reset as a whole instead of using retail pfrees; this removes a
whole lotta crufty (and probably slow) code.
Instead of calling strlen() three times in next_field_expand on the
returned token to find out whether there was a comma (and strip it),
pass back the info directly from the callee, which is simpler.
In passing, update historical artifacts in hba.c API.

Since the names try_relation_openrv() and try_heap_openrv() don't seem
quite appropriate, rename the functions to relation_openrv_extended()
and heap_openrv_extended(). This is also more general, if we have a
future need for additional parameters that are of interest to only a
few callers.
This is infrastructure for a forthcoming patch to allow
get_object_address() to take a missing_ok argument as well.
