B-tree operators are not allowed to leak memory into the current memory
context. Range_cmp leaked detoasted copies of the arguments. That caused
a quick out-of-memory error when creating an index on a range column.

Reported by Marian Krucina, bug #8468.

Though @libdir@ almost always matches @abs_builddir@ in this context,
the test could only fail if they differed.  Back-patch to 9.1, where the
test was introduced.

Previously, arbitray system columns could be mentioned in table
constraints, but they were not correctly checked at runtime, because
the values weren't actually set correctly in the tuple.  Since it
seems easy enough to initialize the table OID properly, do that,
and continue allowing that column, but disallow the rest unless and
until someone figures out a way to make them work properly.

No back-patch, because this doesn't seem important enough to take the
risk of destabilizing the back branches.  In fact, this will pose a
dump-and-reload hazard for those upgrading from previous versions:
constraints that were accepted before but were not correctly enforced
will now either be enforced correctly or not accepted at all.  Either
could result in restore failures, but in practice I think very few
users will notice the difference, since the use case is pretty
marginal anyway and few users will be relying on features that have
not historically worked.

In libpq, we set up and pass to OpenSSL callback routines to handle
locking.  When we run out of SSL connections, we try to clean things
up by de-registering the hooks.  Unfortunately, we had a few calls
into the OpenSSL library after these hooks were de-registered during
SSL cleanup which lead to deadlocking.  This moves the thread callback
cleanup to be after all SSL-cleanup related OpenSSL library calls.
I've been unable to reproduce the deadlock with this fix.

In passing, also move the close_SSL call to be after unlocking our
ssl_config mutex when in a failure state.  While it looks pretty
unlikely to be an issue, it could have resulted in deadlocks if we
ended up in this code path due to something other than SSL_new
failing.  Thanks to Heikki for pointing this out.

Back-patch to all supported versions; note that the close_SSL issue
only goes back to 9.0, so that hunk isn't included in the 8.4 patch.

Initially found and reported by Vesa-Matti J Kari; many thanks to
both Heikki and Andres for their help running down the specific
issue and reviewing the patch.

When a timeline history file is fetched from server, it is initially created
with a temporary file name, and renamed to place. However, the temporary
file name was constructed using an uninitialized buffer. Usually that meant
that the file was created in current directory instead of the target, which
usually goes unnoticed, but if the target is on a different filesystem than
the current dir, the rename() would fail. Fix that.

The second issue is that pg_receivexlog would not take .partial files into
account when determining when scanning the target directory for existing
WAL files. If the timeline has switched in the server several times in the
last WAL segment, and pg_receivexlog is restarted, it would choose a too
old starting point. That's not a problem as long as the old WAL segment
exists in the server and can be streamed over, but will cause a failure if
it's not.

Backpatch to 9.3, where this timeline handling code was written.

It seems to make more sense to use "cutoff multixact" terminology
throughout the backend code; "freeze" is associated with replacing of an
Xid with FrozenTransactionId, which is not what we do for MultiXactIds.

Once the administrator has called for an immediate shutdown or a backend
crash has triggered a reinitialization, no mere SIGINT or SIGTERM should
change that course.  Such derailment remains possible when the signal
arrives before quickdie() blocks signals.  That being a narrow race
affecting most PostgreSQL signal handlers in some way, leave it for
another patch.  Back-patch this to all supported versions.

Comments and the tests make clear that the intent is to test with
and without an index, but there was no index.

"No rows" previously only honored the tuples-only option.

The prototype for inval_twophase_postcommit wasn't removed when it's definition
was removed in efc16ea5 / the initial HS commit.

Before, it would only show schemas that the current user owns.  Per
discussion, the new behavior is more useful and consistent for PostgreSQL.

This allows a 32-bit field to represent an *optional* command ID
without a separate flag bit.

Previously a one-dimensional empty array was returned, but its text
representation matched a zero-dimensional array, and there is no way to
dump/reload a one-dimensional empty array.

BACKWARD INCOMPATIBILITY

Per report from elein

Doing so was helpful for some Valgrind usage and distracting for other
usage.  One can achieve the same effect by changing log_statement and
pointing both PostgreSQL and Valgrind logging to stderr.

Per gripe from Andres Freund.

Commit 95ef6a34 removed the
ability to create rules on an individual column as of 7.3, but
left some residual code which has since been useless.  This cleans
up that dead code without any change in behavior other than
dropping the useless column from the catalog.

If the hash table backing a catalog cache becomes too full (fillfactor > 2),
enlarge it. A new buckets array, double the size of the old, is allocated,
and all entries in the old hash are moved to the right bucket in the new
hash.

This has two benefits. First, cache lookups don't get so expensive when
there are lots of entries in a cache, like if you access hundreds of
thousands of tables. Second, we can make the (initial) sizes of the caches
much smaller, which saves memory.

This patch dials down the initial sizes of the catcaches. The new sizes are
chosen so that a backend that only runs a few basic queries still won't need
to enlarge any of them.

This reverts commit 269e7808
and commit 5b571bb8.

Unfortunately, the initial patch had insufficient performance testing,
and resulted in a regression.

Backpatch to 9.3.

Per suggestion from Gavan Schneider

Performance testing shows that if the insertpos_lck spinlock and the fields
that it protects are on the same cache line with other variables that are
frequently accessed, the false sharing can hurt performance a lot. Keep
them apart by adding some padding.
