We used to only allow offsets less than +/-13 hours, then it was +/14,
then it was +/-15.  That's still not good enough though, as per today's bug
report from Patric Bechtel.  This time I actually looked through the Olson
timezone database to find the largest offsets used anywhere.  The winners
are Asia/Manila, at -15:56:00 until 1844, and America/Metlakatla, at
+15:13:42 until 1867.  So we'd better allow offsets less than +/-16 hours.

Given the history, we are way overdue to have some greppable #define
symbols controlling this, so make some ... and also remove an obsolete
comment that didn't get fixed the last time.

Back-patch to all supported branches.

First, the previous code failed to account for the fact that, during Hot
Standby operation, the startup process takes AccessExclusiveLocks on
relations without setting MyDatabaseId.  This resulted in fast path
strong lock counts failing to be incremented with the startup process
took locks, which in turn allowed conflicting lock requests to succeed
when they should not have.  Report by Erik Rijkers, diagnosis by Heikki
Linnakangas.

Second, LockReleaseAll() failed to honor the allLocks and lockmethodid
restrictions with respect to fast-path locks.  It's not clear to me
whether this produces any user-visible breakage at the moment, but it's
certainly wrong.  Rearrange order of operations in LockReleaseAll to fix.

Overly tight coding caused the password transformation loop to stop
examining input once it had processed a byte equal to 0x80.  Thus, if the
given password string contained such a byte (which is possible though not
highly likely in UTF8, and perhaps also in other non-ASCII encodings), all
subsequent characters would not contribute to the hash, making the password
much weaker than it appears on the surface.

This would only affect cases where applications used DES crypt() to encode
passwords before storing them in the database.  If a weak password has been
created in this fashion, the hash will stop matching after this update has
been applied, so it will be easy to tell if any passwords were unexpectedly
weak.  Changing to a different password would be a good idea in such a case.
(Since DES has been considered inadequately secure for some time, changing
to a different encryption algorithm can also be recommended.)

This code, and the bug, are shared with at least PHP, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD.
Since the other projects have already published their fixes, there is no
point in trying to keep this commit private.

This bug has been assigned CVE-2012-2143, and credit for its discovery goes
to Rubin Xu and Joseph Bonneau.

We used to mimic the way a stack is constructed when descending the tree
during normal GiST inserts, but that was quite complicated during a buffered
build. It was also wrong: in GiST, the left-to-right relationships on
different levels might not match each other, so that when you know the
parent of a child page, you won't necessarily find the parent of the page to
the right of the child page by following the rightlinks at the parent level.
This sometimes led to "could not re-find parent" errors while building a
GiST index.

We now use a simple hash table to track the parent of every internal page.
Whenever a page is split, and downlinks are moved from one page to another,
we update the hash table accordingly. This is also better for performance
than the old method, as we never need to move right to re-find the parent
page, which could take a significant amount of time for buffers that were
created much earlier in the index build.

There were two bugs here: We forgot to call gistFreeBuildBuffers() function
at the end of build, and we passed interXact == true to BufFileCreateTemp,
so the file wasn't automatically cleaned up at end-of-transaction either.

The initial implementation of pg_dump's --section option supposed that the
existing --schema-only and --data-only options could be made equivalent to
--section settings.  This is wrong, though, due to dubious but long since
set-in-stone decisions about where to dump SEQUENCE SET items, as seen in
bug report from Martin Pitt.  (And I'm not totally convinced there weren't
other bugs, either.)  Undo that coupling and instead drive --section
filtering off current-section state tracked as we scan through the TOC
list to call _tocEntryRequired().

To make sure those decisions don't shift around and hopefully save a few
cycles, run _tocEntryRequired() only once per TOC entry and save the result
in a new TOC field.  This required minor rejiggering of ACL handling but
also allows a far cleaner implementation of inhibit_data_for_failed_table.

Also, to ensure that pg_dump and pg_restore have the same behavior with
respect to the --section switches, add _tocEntryRequired() filtering to
WriteToc() and WriteDataChunks(), rather than trying to implement section
filtering in an entirely orthogonal way in dumpDumpableObject().  This
required adjusting the handling of the special ENCODING and STDSTRINGS
items, but they were pretty weird before anyway.

Minor other code review for the patch, too.

The result of (maintenance_work_mem * 1024) / BLCKSZ doesn't fit in a signed
32-bit integer, if maintenance_work_mem >= 2GB. Use double instead. And
while we're at it, write the calculations in an easier to understand form,
with the intermediary steps written out and commented.

AbortOutOfAnyTransaction failed to do anything if the state it saw on
entry corresponded to failing partway through StartTransaction.  I fixed
AbortCurrentTransaction to cope with that case way back in commit
60b2444c, but evidently overlooked that
AbortOutOfAnyTransaction should do likewise.

Back-patch to all supported branches.  It's not clear that this omission
has any more-than-cosmetic consequences, but it's also not clear that it
doesn't, so back-patching seems the least risky choice.

This patch fixes three places (which AFAICT is all of them) where runtime
was O(N^2) in the number of TOC entries, by using an index array to replace
linear searches of the TOC list.  This performance issue is a bit less bad
than those recently fixed, because it depends on the number of items dumped
not the number in the source database, so the problem can be dodged by
doing partial dumps.

The previous coding already had an instance of one of the two index arrays
needed, but it was only calculated in parallel-restore cases; now we need
it all the time.  I also chose to move the arrays into the ArchiveHandle
data structure, to make this code a bit more ready for the day that we
try to sling multiple ArchiveHandles around in pg_dump or pg_restore.

Since we still need some server-side work before pg_dump can really cope
nicely with tens of thousands of tables, there's probably little point in
back-patching.

Drop special handling of host component with slashes to mean
Unix-domain socket.  Specify it as separate parameter or using
percent-encoding now.

Allow omitting username, password, and port even if the corresponding
designators are present in URI.

Handle percent-encoding in query parameter keywords.

Set E081 Basic Privileges to supported, since by the letter of it, we
support it, even though not all possible forms of USAGE privileges are
implemented.

This was from a time when readline support wasn't standard.  And it
doesn't help analyzing current line editing library problems.

This is related to aa90e148, but this
code is only used under -DLINUX_OOM_ADJ, so it was apparently
overlooked then.

Use SvREFCNT_inc_simple_void() instead of SvREFCNT_inc() to avoid
warning about unused return value.

pg_catalog schema, even though they are not explicitly dumped (they are
implicitly dumped, e.g. create language plperl).

Avoids the need for an external script in the most common
scenario. Behavior can be overridden using the -n/--noloop
commandline parameter.

Write the file to a temporary name and then rename() it into the
permanent name, to ensure it can't end up half-written and corrupt
in case of a crash during shutdown.

Unlink the file after it has been read so it's removed from the data
directory and not included in base backups going to replication slaves.

The only interesting-for-performance case wherein we force heapscan here
is when we're rebuilding the relcache init file, and the only such case
that is likely to be examining a catalog big enough to be syncscanned is
RelationBuildTupleDesc.  But the early-exit optimization in that code gets
broken if we start the scan at a random place within the catalog, so that
allowing syncscan is actually a big deoptimization if pg_attribute is large
(at least for the normal case where the rows for core system catalogs have
never been changed since initdb).  Hence, prevent syncscan here.  Per my
testing pursuant to complaints from Jeff Frost and Greg Sabino Mullane,
though neither of them seem to have actually hit this specific problem.

Back-patch to 8.3, where syncscan was introduced.

Previously, casts to name could generate invalidly-encoded results.

Also, make these functions match namein() more exactly, by consistently
using palloc0() instead of ad-hoc zeroing code.

Back-patch to all supported branches.

The previous coding presented a significant bottleneck when dumping
databases containing many thousands of schemas, since the total time
spent searching would increase roughly as O(N^2) in the number of objects.
Noted by Jeff Janes, though I rewrote his proposed patch to use the
existing findObjectByOid infrastructure.

Since this is a longstanding performance bug, backpatch to all supported
versions.

When backing up from a standby server, the backup process
will not automatically switch xlog segment. So we must
accept a partially transferred xlog file in this case, but
rename it into position anyway.

In passing, merge the two callbacks for segment end and
stop stream into a single callback, since their implementations
were close to identical, and rename this callback to
reflect that it stops streaming rather than continues it.

document fix of double counting and read/write count addition, per Peter
Geoghegan

zaptreesubs() was coded to unconditionally reset a capture subre's
corresponding pmatch[] entry.  However, in regexes without backrefs, that
array is caller-supplied and might not have as many entries as the regex
has capturing parens.  So check the array length and do nothing if there
is no corresponding entry, much as subset() does.  Failure to check this
resulted in a stack clobber in the case reported by Marko Kreen.

This bug appears to have been latent in the regex library from the
beginning.  It was not exposed because find() called dissect() not
cdissect(), and the dissect() code path didn't ever call zaptreesubs()
(formerly zapmem()).  When I unified dissect() and cdissect() in commit
4dd78bf3, the problem was exposed.

Now that I've seen this, I'm rather suspicious that we might need to
back-patch it; but will refrain for now, for lack of evidence that
the case can be hit in the previous coding.

For space reasons, drop SQL:1999 and SQL:2003.  Only keep the latest
two and SQL-92 for historical comparison.

And align a bit better with the rest of the debug output.

Korotkov, per Alexander Korotkov.

If a seqscan encounters many consecutive pages containing only dead tuples,
it can remain in the loop in heapgettup for a long time, and there was no
CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS anywhere in that loop.  This meant there were
real-world situations where a query would be effectively uncancelable for
long stretches.  Add a check placed to occur once per page, which should be
enough to provide reasonable response time without adding any measurable
overhead.

Every time I read this I had doubts about whether the argument to the
-x option should include the dot (yes).  A small example should
clarify this.
