reload and rotation signals, and a helper thread reads messages from the
pipe and writes them to the log file. However, server code isn't generally
thread-safe, so if both try to do e.g palloc()/pfree() at the same time,
bad things will happen. To fix that, use a critical section (which is like
a mutex) to enforce that only one the threads are active at a time.

the SELECT query in \copy (SELECT ...) commands. This is unnecessary and
breaks numeric literals, as seen in bug #5411 from Vitalii Tymchyshyn.
This change has already been made in passing in HEAD; backpatch to 8.2
through 8.4 (earlier releases don't have COPY (SELECT ...) at all).

even when the expression is a query that returns no rows.
So far as I can tell, the only caller that actually fails when a garbage
OID is returned is exec_stmt_case(), which is new in 8.4 --- in all other
cases, we might make a useless trip through casting logic, but we won't
fail since the isnull flag will be set. Hence, backpatch only to 8.4,
just in case there are apps out there that aren't expecting an error to
be thrown if the query returns more or less than one column. (Which seems
unlikely, since the error would be thrown if the query ever did return a
row; but it's possible there's some never-exercised code out there.)
Per report from Mario Splivalo.

relcache reload works. In the patched code, a relcache entry in process of
being rebuilt doesn't get unhooked from the relcache hash table; which means
that if a cache flush occurs due to sinval queue overrun while we're
rebuilding it, the entry could get blown away by RelationCacheInvalidate,
resulting in crash or misbehavior. Fix by ensuring that an entry being
rebuilt has positive refcount, so it won't be seen as a target for removal
if a cache flush occurs. (This will mean that the entry gets rebuilt twice
in such a scenario, but that's okay.) It appears that the problem can only
arise within a transaction that has previously reassigned the relfilenode of
a pre-existing table, via TRUNCATE or a similar operation. Per bug #5412
from Rusty Conover.
Back-patch to 8.2, same as the patch that introduced the problem.
I think that the failure can't actually occur in 8.2, since it lacks the
rd_newRelfilenodeSubid optimization, but let's make it work like the later
branches anyway.
Patch by Heikki, slightly editorialized on by me.

Windows, thanks to a feature in CRT called Parameter Validation.
Backpatch to 8.2, which is the oldest version supported on Windows. In
8.2 and 8.3 also backpatch the earlier change to use DEVNULL instead of
NULL_DEV #define for a /dev/null-like device. NULL_DEV was hard-coded to
"/dev/null" regardless of platform, which didn't work on Windows, while
DEVNULL works on all platforms. Restarting syslogger didn't work on
Windows on versions 8.3 and below because of that.

so that we won't try to attach any context printouts to messages that get
emitted while exiting. Per report from Dennis Koegel, the context functions
won't necessarily work after we've started shutting down the backend, and it
seems possible that debug_query_string could be pointing at freed storage
as well. The context information doesn't seem particularly relevant to
such messages anyway, so there's little lost by suppressing it.
Back-patch to all supported branches. I can only demonstrate a crash with
log_disconnections messages back to 8.1, but the risk seems real in 8.0 and
before anyway.

catalog entries via SearchSysCache and related operations. Although, at the
time that these callbacks are called by elog.c, we have not officially aborted
the current transaction, it still seems rather risky to initiate any new
catalog fetches. In all these cases the needed information is readily
available in the caller and so it's just a matter of a bit of extra notation
to pass it to the callback.
Per crash report from Dennis Koegel. I've concluded that the real fix for
his problem is to clear the error context stack at entry to proc_exit, but
it still seems like a good idea to make the callbacks a bit less fragile
for other cases.
Backpatch to 8.4. We could go further back, but the patch doesn't apply
cleanly. In the absence of proof that this fixes something and isn't just
paranoia, I'm not going to expend the effort.

because InRedo was cleared before recovery_end_command was executed.
Also, always take ControlFileLock when reading checkpoint location for
%r. That didn't matter before, but in 8.4 bgwriter is active during
recovery and can modify the control file concurrently.

This resulted in useless extra work during every call of parseRelOptions,

corner cases that come up in certain timezones (apparently, only those with
lots and lots of distinct TZ transition rules, as far as I can gather from
a quick scan of their archives). Per suggestion from Jeevan Chalke.
Back-patch to 8.4. Possibly we need to push this into earlier releases
as well, but I'm hesitant to update them to the 64-bit tzcode without
more thought and testing.

The latter is considered unwarranted chumminess with the implementation,

when warning about column-level privileges. This is more useful than before
and makes the apparent duplication complained of by Piyush Newe not so

unless (1) the @ isn't quoted and (2) the filename isn't empty. This guards
against unexpectedly treating usernames or other strings in "flat files"
as inclusion requests, as seen in a recent trouble report from Ed L.
The empty-filename case would be guaranteed to misbehave anyway, because our
subsequent path-munging behavior results in trying to read the directory
containing the current input file.
I think this might finally explain the report at
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2004-05/msg00132.php
of a crash after printing "authentication file token too long, skipping",
since I was able to duplicate that message (though not a crash) on a
platform where stdio doesn't refuse to read directories. We never got
far in investigating that problem, but now I'm suspicious that the trigger
condition was an @ in the flat password file.
Back-patch to all active branches since the problem can be demonstrated in all
branches except HEAD. The test case, creating a user named "@", doesn't cause
a problem in HEAD since we got rid of the flat password file. Nonetheless it
seems like a good idea to not consider quoted @ as a file inclusion spec,
so I changed HEAD too.

set ferror() but never set feof(). This is known to be the case for recent
glibc when trying to read a directory as a file, and might be true for other
platforms/cases too. Per report from Ed L. (There is more that we ought to
do about his report, but this is one easily identifiable issue.)

too, instead of duplicating the functionality (badly).
I renamed xml_init to pg_xml_init, because the former seemed just a bit too
generic to be safe as a global symbol. I considered likewise renaming
xml_ereport to pg_xml_ereport, but felt that the reference to ereport probably
made it sufficiently PG-centric already.

formats; a null string must not be formatted as a numeric. The more exotic

Backpatch to 8.1 where numericlocale option was added.
This fixes bug #5355 reported by Andy Lester.

We had originally made the stronger assumption that NOT A refutes any B
if B implies A, but this fails in three-valued logic, because we need to
prove B is false not just that it's not true. However the logic does
go through if B is equal to A.
Recognizing this limited case is enough to handle examples that arise when
we have simplified "bool_var = true" or "bool_var = false" to just "bool_var"
or "NOT bool_var". If we had not done that simplification then the
btree-operator proof logic would have been able to prove that the expressions
were contradictory, but only for identical expressions being compared to the
constants; so handling identical A and B covers all the same cases.
The motivation for doing this is to avoid unexpected asymmetrical behavior
when a partitioned table uses a boolean partitioning column, as in today's
gripe from Dominik Sander.
Back-patch to 8.2, which is as far back as predicate_refuted_by attempts to
do anything at all with NOTs.

how often we do SSL session key renegotiation. Can be set to
0 to disable renegotiation completely, which is required if
a broken SSL library is used (broken patches to CVE-2009-3555

renegotiation.

ArrayRef expressions that are not in the immediate context of an INSERT or
UPDATE targetlist. Such cases never arise in stored rules, so ruleutils.c
hadn't tried to handle them. However, they do occur in the targetlists of
plans derived from such statements, and now that EXPLAIN VERBOSE tries to
print targetlists, we need some way to deal with the case.
I chose to represent an assignment ArrayRef as "array[subscripts] := source",
which is fairly reasonable and doesn't omit any information. However,
FieldStore is problematic because the planner will fold multiple assignments
to fields of the same composite column into one FieldStore, resulting in a
structure that is hard to understand at all, let alone display comprehensibly.
So in that case I punted and just made it print the source expression(s).
Backpatch to 8.4 --- the lack of functionality exists in older releases,
but doesn't seem to be important for lack of anything that would call it.

being assigned to, in case the expression to be assigned is a FieldStore that
would need to modify that value. The need for this was foreseen some time
ago, but not implemented then because we did not have arrays of composites.
Now we do, but the point evidently got overlooked in that patch. Net result
is that updating a field of an array element doesn't work right, as
illustrated if you try the new regression test on an unpatched backend.
Noted while experimenting with EXPLAIN VERBOSE, which has also got some issues
in this area.
Backpatch to 8.3, where arrays of composites were introduced.

is aborted, if they were created within the failed xact. This prevents
ExecutorEnd from being run on them, which is a good idea because they may
contain references to tables or other objects that no longer exist.
In particular this is hazardous when auto_explain is active, but it's
really rather surprising that nobody has seen an issue with this before.
I'm back-patching this to 8.4, since that's the first version that contains
auto_explain or an ExecutorEnd hook, but I wonder whether we shouldn't
back-patch further.
