ISO_8859-5 <-> MULE_INTERNAL conversion tables.

This was discovered when trying to convert a string containing those characters
from ISO_8859-5 to Windows-1251, because we use MULE_INTERNAL/KOI8R as an
intermediate encoding between those two.

While the missing "Yo" was just an omission in the conversion tables, there are
a few other characters like the "Numero" sign ("No" as a single character) that
exists in all the other cyrillic encodings (win1251, ISO_8859-5 and cp866), but
not in KOI8R. Added comments about that.

Patch by Sergey Burladyan. Back-patch to 7.4.

case where there is a match to the pattern overall but the user has specified
a parenthesized subexpression and that subexpression hasn't got a match.
An example is substring('foo' from 'foo(bar)?').  This should return NULL,
since (bar) isn't matched, but it was mistakenly returning the whole-pattern
match instead (ie, 'foo').  Per bug #4044 from Rui Martins.

This has been broken since the beginning; patch in all supported versions.
The old behavior was sufficiently inconsistent that it's impossible to believe
anyone is depending on it.

on developer.postgresql.org is going away.

This accidentally failed to fail before 8.3, because the context we were
switching back to was long-lived anyway; but it sure looks risky as can be
now.  Well spotted by Pavan Deolasee.

that are reported as "equal" by wcscoll() are checked to see if they really
are bitwise equal, and are sorted per strcmp() if not.  We made this happen
a couple of years ago in the regular code path, but it unaccountably got
left out of the Windows/UTF8 case (probably brain fade on my part at the
time).  As in the prior set of changes, affected users may need to reindex
indexes on textual columns.

Backpatch as far as 8.2, which is the oldest release we are still supporting
on Windows.

messages if the calling transaction aborts later on.  Collapsing out line
pointer redirects is a done deal as soon as we complete the page update,
so syscache *must* be notified even if the VACUUM FULL as a whole doesn't
complete.  To fix, add some functionality to inval.c to allow the pending
inval messages to be sent immediately while heap_page_prune is still
running.  The implementation is a bit chintzy: it will only work in the
context of VACUUM FULL.  But that's all we need now, and it can always be
extended later if needed.  Per my trouble report of a week ago.

(probably NULL) before exiting.  Up to now it's just left the variable as it
set it, which means that after we're done processing the current client
message, ActiveSnapshot is probably pointing at garbage (because this function
is typically run in MessageContext which will get reset).  There doesn't seem
to have been any code path in which that mattered before 8.3, but now the
plancache module might try to use the stale value if the next client message
is a Bind for a prepared statement that is in need of replanning.  Per report
from Alex Hunsaker.

pg_listener modifications commanded by LISTEN and UNLISTEN until the end
of the current transaction.  This allows us to hold the ExclusiveLock on
pg_listener until after commit, with no greater risk of deadlock than there
was before.  Aside from fixing the race condition, this gets rid of a
truly ugly kludge that was there before, namely having to ignore
HeapTupleBeingUpdated failures during NOTIFY.  There is a small potential
incompatibility, which is that if a transaction issues LISTEN or UNLISTEN
and then looks into pg_listener before committing, it won't see any resulting
row insertion or deletion, where before it would have.  It seems unlikely
that anyone would be depending on that, though.

This patch also disallows LISTEN and UNLISTEN inside a prepared transaction.
That case had some pretty undesirable properties already, such as possibly
allowing pg_listener entries to be made for PIDs no longer present, so
disallowing it seems like a better idea than trying to maintain the behavior.

Backpatch to 8.3.X.

because it affects all sessions, including autovacuum.

This prevents compiler optimizations that assume overflow won't occur, which
breaks numerous overflow tests that we need to have working.  It is known
that gcc 4.3 causes problems and possible that 4.1 does.  Per my proposal
of some time ago and a recent report from Kris Jurka.

Backpatch as far as 8.0, which is as far as the patch conveniently goes.
7.x was pretty short of overflow tests anyway, so it may not matter there,
even assuming that anyone cares whether 7.x builds on recent gcc.

it accumulates the set of changes to be made and then applies them.  It had
to accumulate the set of changes anyway to prepare a WAL record for the
pruning action, so this isn't an enormous change; the only new complexity is
to not doubly mark tuples that are visited twice in the scan.  The main
advantage is that we can substantially reduce the scope of the critical
section in which the changes are applied, thus avoiding PANIC in foreseeable
cases like running out of memory in inval.c.  A nice secondary advantage is
that it is now far clearer that WAL replay will actually do the same thing
that the original pruning did.

This commit doesn't do anything about the open problem that
CacheInvalidateHeapTuple doesn't have the right semantics for a CTID change
caused by collapsing out a redirect pointer.  But whatever we do about that,
it'll be a good idea to not do it inside a critical section.

TopMemoryContext, rather than scattered through executor per-query contexts.
This poses no danger of memory leak since the ResourceOwner mechanism
guarantees release of no-longer-needed items.  It is needed because the
per-query context might already be released by the time we try to clean up
the hash scan list.  Report by ykhuang, diagnosis by Heikki.

Back-patch to 8.0, where the ResourceOwner-based cleanup was introduced.
The given test case does not fail before 8.2, probably because we rearranged
transaction abort processing somehow; but this coding is undoubtedly risky
so I'll patch 8.0 and 8.1 anyway.

a unused memory holes in tsquery.

Per report by Richard Huxton <dev@archonet.com>.

It was working well because in fact tsquery->size is not used for any
kind of operation except comparing tsqueries. To prevent requirement
of renew all stored tsquery optimization in CompareTSQ is removed.

Back patch to 8.3.X.

caches that we don't actually need to touch.  This saves some trivial
number of cycles and avoids certain cases of deadlock when doing concurrent
VACUUM FULL on system catalogs.  Per report from Gavin Roy.

Backpatch to 8.2.  In earlier versions, CatalogCacheInitializeCache didn't
lock the relation so there's no deadlock risk (though that certainly had
plenty of risks of its own).

checkpoint timeout can incrase the time needed for crash recovery, per
suggestion from Simon.

temporary table; we can't support that because there's no way to clean up the
source backend's internal state if the eventual COMMIT PREPARED is done by
another backend.  This was checked correctly in 8.1 but I broke it in 8.2 :-(.

of "VET" accordingly.  Per bug #3997 from Aaron Mizrachi.

"struct varlena" would be at least word-aligned.  Per buildfarm results
from gypsy_moth.  I did a little bit of trawling for other instances of
this coding pattern, and didn't find any; but if we turn up any more
of them I think we'd better revert the "char [4]" patch and find another
way of making tuptoaster.c alignment-safe.
