After the recovery target timeline is changed, we would still recycle and
preallocate WAL segments on the old target timeline. Those WAL segments
created for the old timeline are a waste of space, although otherwise
harmless.
The problem is that when installing a recycled WAL segment as a future one,
ThisTimeLineID is used to construct the filename. ThisTimeLineID is
initialized in the checkpointer process to the recovery target timeline at
startup, but it was not updated when the startup process chooses a new
target timeline (recovery_target_timeline='latest'). To fix, always update
ThisTimeLineID before recycling WAL segments at a restartpoint.
This still leaves a small window where we might install WAL segments under
wrong timeline ID, if the target timeline is changed just as we're about to
start recycling. Also, when we're not on the target timeline yet, but still
replaying some older timeline, we'll install WAL segments to the newer
timeline anyway and they will still go wasted. We'll just live with the
waste in that situation.
Commit to 9.2 and 9.1. Older versions didn't change recovery target timeline
after startup, and for master, I'll commit a slightly different variant of
this.

If you restored from a backup taken from a standby, and the last record in
the backup is the checkpoint record, ie. there is no redo required except
for the checkpoint record, we would fail to notice that we've reached the
end-of-backup point, and the database is consistent. The result was an
error "WAL ends before end of online backup". To fix, move the
have-we-reached-end-of-backup check into CheckRecoveryConsistency(), which
is already responsible for similar checks with minRecoveryPoint, and is
called in the right places.
Backpatch to 9.2, this check and bug did not exist before that.

If a tuple is larger than page size minus space reserved for fillfactor,
heap_multi_insert would never find a page that it fits in and repeatedly ask
for a new page from RelationGetBufferForTuple. If a tuple is too large to
fit on any page, taking fillfactor into account, RelationGetBufferForTuple
will always expand the relation. In a normal insert, heap_insert will accept
that and put the tuple on the new page. heap_multi_insert, however, does a
fillfactor check of its own, and doesn't accept the newly-extended page
RelationGetBufferForTuple returns, even though there is no other choice to
make the tuple fit.
Fix that by making the logic in heap_multi_insert more like the heap_insert
logic. The first tuple is always put on the page RelationGetBufferForTuple
gives us, and the fillfactor check is only applied to the subsequent tuples.
Report from David Gould, although I didn't use his patch.

EndRecPtr is the last record that we've read, but not necessarily yet
replayed. CheckRecoveryConsistency should compare minRecoveryPoint with the
last replayed record instead. This caused recovery to think it's reached
consistency too early.
Now that we do the check in CheckRecoveryConsistency correctly, we have to
move the call of that function to after redoing a record. The current place,
after reading a record but before replaying it, is wrong. In particular, if
there are no more records after the one ending at minRecoveryPoint, we don't
enter hot standby until one extra record is generated and read by the
standby, and CheckRecoveryConsistency is called. These two bugs conspired
to make the code appear to work correctly, except for the small window
between reading the last record that reaches minRecoveryPoint, and
replaying it.
In the passing, rename recoveryLastRecPtr, which is the last record
replayed, to lastReplayedEndRecPtr. This makes it slightly less confusing
with replayEndRecPtr, which is the last record read that we're about to
replay.
Original report from Kyotaro HORIGUCHI, further diagnosis by Fujii Masao.
Backpatch to 9.0, where Hot Standby subtly changed the test from
"minRecoveryPoint < EndRecPtr" to "minRecoveryPoint <= EndRecPtr". The
former works because where the test is performed, we have always read one
more record than we've replayed.

If a file is truncated, we must update minRecoveryPoint. Once a file is
truncated, there's no going back; it would not be safe to stop recovery
at a point earlier than that anymore.
Per report from Kyotaro HORIGUCHI. Backpatch to 8.4. Before that,
minRecoveryPoint was not updated during recovery at all.

If we're not in hot standby mode, then there's no way for users to connect
to reset the recoveryPause flag, so we shouldn't pause. The code was aware
of this but the test to see if pausing was safe was seriously inadequate:
it wasn't paying attention to reachedConsistency, and besides what it was
testing was that we could legally enter hot standby, not that we have
done so. Get rid of that in favor of checking LocalHotStandbyActive,
which because of the coding in CheckRecoveryConsistency is tantamount to
checking that we have told the postmaster to enter hot standby.
Also, move the recoveryPausesHere() call that reacts to asynchronous
recoveryPause requests so that it's not in the middle of application of a
WAL record. I put it next to the recoveryStopsHere() call --- in future
those are going to need to interact significantly, so this seems like a
good waystation.
Also, don't bother trying to read another WAL record if we've already
decided not to continue recovery. This was no big deal when the code was
written originally, but now that reading a record might entail actions like
fetching an archive file, it seems a bit silly to do it like that.
Per report from Jeff Janes and subsequent discussion. The pause feature
needs quite a lot more work, but this gets rid of some indisputable bugs,
and seems safe enough to back-patch.

When waiting for an XLOG_BACKUP_RECORD the minRecoveryPoint
will be incorrect, so we must not declare recovery as consistent
before we have seen the record. Major bug allowing recovery to end
too early in some cases, allowing people to see inconsistent db.

This reverts commit c11130690d6dca64267201a169cfb38c1adec5ef in favor of
actually fixing the problem: namely, that we should never have been
modifying the checkpoint record's nextXid at this point to begin with.
The nextXid should match the state as of the checkpoint's logical WAL
position (ie the redo point), not the state as of its physical position.
It's especially bogus to advance it in some wal_levels and not others.
In any case there is no need for the checkpoint record to carry the
same nextXid shown in the XLOG_RUNNING_XACTS record just emitted by
LogStandbySnapshot, as any replay operation will already have adopted
that value as current.
This fixes bug #7710 from Tarvi Pillessaar, and probably also explains bug
#6291 from Daniel Farina, in that if a checkpoint were in progress at the
instant of XID wraparound, the epoch bump would be lost as reported.
(And, of course, these days there's at least a 50-50 chance of a checkpoint
being in progress at any given instant.)
Diagnosed by me and independently by Andres Freund. Back-patch to all
branches supporting hot standby.

If wal_level = hot_standby we update the checkpoint nextxid,
though in the case where a wraparound occurred half-way through
a checkpoint we would neglect updating the epoch also. Updating
the nextxid is arguably the wrong thing to do, but changing that
may introduce subtle bugs into hot standby startup, while updating
the value doesn't cause any known bugs yet. Minimal fix now to
HEAD and backbranches, wider fix later in HEAD.
Bug reported in #6291 by Daniel Farina and slightly differently in
Cause analysis and recommended fixes from Tom Lane and Andres Freund.
Applied patch is minimal version of Andres Freund's work.

Commit 8cb53654dbdb4c386369eb988062d0bbb6de725e, which introduced DROP
INDEX CONCURRENTLY, managed to break CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY via a poor
choice of catalog state representation. The pg_index state for an index
that's reached the final pre-drop stage was the same as the state for an
index just created by CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY. This meant that the
(necessary) change to make RelationGetIndexList ignore about-to-die indexes
also made it ignore freshly-created indexes; which is catastrophic because
the latter do need to be considered in HOT-safety decisions. Failure to
do so leads to incorrect index entries and subsequently wrong results from
queries depending on the concurrently-created index.
To fix, make the final state be indisvalid = true and indisready = false,
which is otherwise nonsensical. This is pretty ugly but we can't add
another column without forcing initdb, and it's too late for that in 9.2.
(There's a cleaner fix in HEAD.)
In addition, change CREATE/DROP INDEX CONCURRENTLY so that the pg_index
flag changes they make without exclusive lock on the index are made via
heap_inplace_update() rather than a normal transactional update. The
latter is not very safe because moving the pg_index tuple could result in
concurrent SnapshotNow scans finding it twice or not at all, thus possibly
resulting in index corruption. This is a pre-existing bug in CREATE INDEX
CONCURRENTLY, which was copied into the DROP code.
In addition, fix various places in the code that ought to check to make
sure that the indexes they are manipulating are valid and/or ready as
appropriate. These represent bugs that have existed since 8.2, since
a failed CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY could leave a corrupt or invalid
index behind, and we ought not try to do anything that might fail with
such an index.
Also fix RelationReloadIndexInfo to ensure it copies all the pg_index
columns that are allowed to change after initial creation. Previously we
could have been left with stale values of some fields in an index relcache
entry. It's not clear whether this actually had any user-visible
consequences, but it's at least a bug waiting to happen.
In addition, do some code and docs review for DROP INDEX CONCURRENTLY;
some cosmetic code cleanup but mostly addition and revision of comments.
Portions of this need to be back-patched even further, but I'll work
on that separately.

This was apparently a typo, which caused recovery to think that it
immediately reached the end of backup, and allowed the database to start
up too early.

When startup process opens a WAL segment after replaying part of it, it
validates the first page on the WAL segment, even though the page it's
really interested in later in the file. As part of the validation, it checks
that the TLI on the page header is >= the TLI it saw on the last page it
read. If the segment contains a timeline switch, and we have already
replayed it, and then re-open the WAL segment (because of streaming
replication got disconnected and reconnected, for example), the TLI check
will fail when the first page is validated. Fix that by relaxing the TLI
check when re-opening a WAL segment.
Backpatch to 9.0. Earlier versions had the same code, but before standby
mode was introduced in 9.0, recovery never tried to re-read a segment after
partially replaying it.

At commit all standby locks are released
for the top-level transaction, so searching
for locks for each subtransaction is both
pointless and costly (N^2) in the presence
of many AccessExclusiveLocks.

Most of the replay functions for WAL record types that modify more than
one page failed to ensure that those pages were locked correctly to ensure
that concurrent queries could not see inconsistent page states. This is
a hangover from coding decisions made long before Hot Standby was added,
when it was hardly necessary to acquire buffer locks during WAL replay
at all, let alone hold them for carefully-chosen periods.
The key problem was that RestoreBkpBlocks was written to hold lock on each
page restored from a full-page image for only as long as it took to update
that page. This was guaranteed to break any WAL replay function in which
there was any update-ordering constraint between pages, because even if the
nominal order of the pages is the right one, any mixture of full-page and
non-full-page updates in the same record would result in out-of-order
updates. Moreover, it wouldn't work for situations where there's a
requirement to maintain lock on one page while updating another. Failure
to honor an update ordering constraint in this way is thought to be the
cause of bug #7648 from Daniel Farina: what seems to have happened there
is that a btree page being split was rewritten from a full-page image
before the new right sibling page was written, and because lock on the
original page was not maintained it was possible for hot standby queries to
try to traverse the page's right-link to the not-yet-existing sibling page.
To fix, get rid of RestoreBkpBlocks as such, and instead create a new
function RestoreBackupBlock that restores just one full-page image at a
time. This function can be invoked by WAL replay functions at the points
where they would otherwise perform non-full-page updates; in this way, the
physical order of page updates remains the same no matter which pages are
replaced by full-page images. We can then further adjust the logic in
individual replay functions if it is necessary to hold buffer locks
for overlapping periods. A side benefit is that we can simplify the
handling of concurrency conflict resolution by moving that code into the
record-type-specfic functions; there's no more need to contort the code
layout to keep conflict resolution in front of the RestoreBkpBlocks call.
In connection with that, standardize on zero-based numbering rather than
one-based numbering for referencing the full-page images. In HEAD, I
removed the macros XLR_BKP_BLOCK_1 through XLR_BKP_BLOCK_4. They are
still there in the header files in previous branches, but are no longer
used by the code.
In addition, fix some other bugs identified in the course of making these
changes:
spgRedoAddNode could fail to update the parent downlink at all, if the
parent tuple is in the same page as either the old or new split tuple and
we're not doing a full-page image: it would get fooled by the LSN having
been advanced already. This would result in permanent index corruption,
not just transient failure of concurrent queries.
Also, ginHeapTupleFastInsert's "merge lists" case failed to mark the old
tail page as a candidate for a full-page image; in the worst case this
could result in torn-page corruption.
heap_xlog_freeze() was inconsistent about using a cleanup lock or plain
exclusive lock: it did the former in the normal path but the latter for a
full-page image. A plain exclusive lock seems sufficient, so change to
that.
Also, remove gistRedoPageDeleteRecord(), which has been dead code since
VACUUM FULL was rewritten.
Back-patch to 9.0, where hot standby was introduced. Note however that 9.0
had a significantly different WAL-logging scheme for GIST index updates,
and it doesn't appear possible to make that scheme safe for concurrent hot
standby queries, because it can leave inconsistent states in the index even
between WAL records. Given the lack of complaints from the field, we won't
work too hard on fixing that branch.

If an SMgrRelation is not "owned" by a relcache entry, don't allow it to
live past transaction end. This design allows the same SMgrRelation to be
used for blind writes of multiple blocks during a transaction, but ensures
that we don't hold onto such an SMgrRelation indefinitely. Because an
SMgrRelation typically corresponds to open file descriptors at the fd.c
level, leaving it open when there's no corresponding relcache entry can
mean that we prevent the kernel from reclaiming deleted disk space.
(While CacheInvalidateSmgr messages usually fix that, there are cases
where they're not issued, such as DROP DATABASE. We might want to add
some more sinval messaging for that, but I'd be inclined to keep this
type of logic anyway, since allowing VFDs to accumulate indefinitely
for blind-written relations doesn't seem like a good idea.)
This code replaces a previous attempt towards the same goal that proved
to be unreliable. Back-patch to 9.1 where the previous patch was added.

These calls were removed in commit 4240e429d0c2d889d0cda23c618f94e12c13ade7
as part of a general refactoring and improvement of DDL locking. However,
there's a problem not solved by the rewrite, which is that GRANT/REVOKE
update pg_class.relacl without taking any particular lock on the target
table as such. If another backend fails to do AcceptInvalidationMessages,
it won't notice a recently-committed change in ACLs. Bug #7557 from Piotr
Czachur demonstrates that there's at least one code path in 9.2.0 in which
a command fails to do any AcceptInvalidationMessages calls at all, if the
current transaction already holds all the locks it will need.
Since we're hard up against the release deadline for 9.2.1, fix this by
putting back the AcceptInvalidationMessages calls in heap_openrv and
heap_openrv_extended, thereby restoring the historical behavior in this
area. We ought to look for a more elegant and perhaps more bulletproof
solution, but there's no time for that right now.

When the startup process restores a WAL file from the archive, it deletes
any old file with the same name and renames the new file in its place. On
Windows, however, when a file is deleted, it still lingers as long as a
process holds a file handle open on it. With cascading replication, a
walsender process can hold the old file open, so the rename() in the startup
process would fail. To fix that, rename the old file to a temporary name, to
make the original file name available for reuse, before deleting the old
file.

The cascading replication code assumed that the current RecoveryTargetTLI
never changes, but that's not true with recovery_target_timeline='latest'.
The obvious upshot of that is that RecoveryTargetTLI in shared memory needs
to be protected by a lock. A less obvious consequence is that when a
cascading standby is connected, and the standby switches to a new target
timeline after scanning the archive, it will continue to stream WAL to the
cascading standby, but from a wrong file, ie. the file of the previous
timeline. For example, if the standby is currently streaming from the middle
of file 000000010000000000000005, and the timeline changes, the standby
will continue to stream from that file. However, the WAL on the new
timeline is in file 000000020000000000000005, so the standby sends garbage
from 000000010000000000000005 to the cascading standby, instead of the
correct WAL from file 000000020000000000000005.
This also fixes a related bug where a partial WAL segment is restored from
the archive and streamed to a cascading standby. The code assumed that when
a WAL segment is copied from the archive, it can immediately be fully
streamed to a cascading standby. However, if the segment is only partially
filled, ie. has the right size, but only N first bytes contain valid WAL,
that's not safe. That can happen if a partial WAL segment is manually copied
to the archive, or if a partial WAL segment is archived because a server is
started up on a new timeline within that segment. The cascading standby will
get confused if the WAL it received is not valid, and will get stuck until
it's restarted. This patch fixes that problem by not allowing WAL restored
from the archive to be streamed to a cascading standby until it's been
replayed, and thus validated.

This back-ports commits c8ba697a4bdb934f0c51424c654e8db6133ea255 and
e5db11c5582b469c04a11f217a0f32c827da5dd7, which fix one definite and one
speculative bug in gistchoose, and make the code a lot more intelligible as
well. In 9.2 only, this also affects the largely-copied-and-pasted logic
in gistRelocateBuildBuffersOnSplit.
The impact of the bugs was that the functions might make poor decisions
as to which index tree branch to push a new entry down into, resulting in
GiST index bloat and poor performance. The fixes rectify these decisions
for future insertions, but a REINDEX would be needed to clean up any
existing index bloat.

We use a hash table to track the parents of inner pages, but when inserting
to a leaf page, the caller of gistbufferinginserttuples() must pass a
correct block number of the leaf's parent page. Before gistProcessItup()
descends to a child page, it checks if the downlink needs to be adjusted to
accommodate the new tuple, and updates the downlink if necessary. However,
updating the downlink might require splitting the page, which might move the
downlink to a page to the right. gistProcessItup() doesn't realize that, so
when it descends to the leaf page, it might pass an out-of-date parent block
number as a result. Fix that by returning the block a tuple was inserted to
from gistbufferinginserttuples().
This fixes the bug reported by Zdeněk Jílovec.

Cascading replication copied the incoming file into pg_xlog but

causing it to loop around and look for file in pg_xlog. So the

This was broken in commit ed0b409d22346b1b027a4c2099ca66984d94b6dd,
which revised the GlobalTransactionData struct to not include the
associated PGPROC as its first member, but overlooked one place where
a cast was used in reliance on that equivalence.
The most effective way of fixing this seems to be to create a new function
that looks up the GlobalTransactionData struct given the XID, and make
both TwoPhaseGetDummyBackendId and TwoPhaseGetDummyProc rely on that.

As noted by Noah Misch, btree_xlog_delete_get_latestRemovedXid is
critically dependent on the assumption that it's examining a consistent
state of the database. This was undocumented though, so the
seemingly-unrelated check for no active HS sessions might be thought to be
merely an optional optimization. Improve comments, and add an explicit
check of reachedConsistency just to be sure.
This function returns InvalidTransactionId (thereby killing all HS
transactions) in several cases that are not nearly unlikely enough for my
taste. This commit doesn't attempt to fix those deficiencies, just
document them.
Back-patch to 9.2, not from any real functional need but just to keep the
branches more closely synced to simplify possible future back-patching.

In yesterday's commit 962e0cc71e839c58fb9125fa85511b8bbb8bdbee, I added the
ResolveRecoveryConflictWithSnapshot call in the wrong place. I correctly
put it before spgRedoVacuumRedirect itself would modify the index page ---
but not before RestoreBkpBlocks, so replay of a record with a full-page
image would modify the page before kicking off any conflicting HS
transactions. Oops.

The correct test for whether a redirection tuple is removable is whether
tuple's xid < RecentGlobalXmin, not OldestXmin; the previous coding
failed to protect index searches being done in concurrent transactions that
have no XID. This mirrors the recent fix in btree's page recycling logic
made in commit d3abbbebe52eb1e59e621c880ad57df9d40d13f2.
Also, WAL-log the newest XID of any removed redirection tuple on an index
page, and apply ResolveRecoveryConflictWithSnapshot during InHotStandby WAL
replay. This protects against concurrent Hot Standby transactions possibly
needing to see the redirection tuple(s).
Per my query of 2012-03-12 and subsequent discussion.

mdinit() was misusing IsBootstrapProcessingMode() to decide whether to
create an fsync pending-operations table in the current process. This led
to creating a table not only in the startup and checkpointer processes as
intended, but also in the bgwriter process, not to mention other auxiliary
processes such as walwriter and walreceiver. Creation of the table in the
bgwriter is fatal, because it absorbs fsync requests that should have gone
to the checkpointer; instead they just sit in bgwriter local memory and are
never acted on. So writes performed by the bgwriter were not being fsync'd
which could result in data loss after an OS crash. I think there is no
live bug with respect to walwriter and walreceiver because those never
perform any writes of shared buffers; but the potential is there for
future breakage in those processes too.
To fix, make AuxiliaryProcessMain() export the current process's
AuxProcType as a global variable, and then make mdinit() test directly for
the types of aux process that should have a pendingOpsTable. Having done
that, we might as well also get rid of the random bool flags such as
am_walreceiver that some of the aux processes had grown. (Note that we
could not have fixed the bug by examining those variables in mdinit(),
because it's called from BaseInit() which is run by AuxiliaryProcessMain()
before entering any of the process-type-specific code.)
Back-patch to 9.2, where the problem was introduced by the split-up of
bgwriter and checkpointer processes. The bogus pendingOpsTable exists
in walwriter and walreceiver processes in earlier branches, but absent
any evidence that it causes actual problems there, I'll leave the older
branches alone.

This bug was introduced by commit 20d98ab6e4110087d1816cd105a40fcc8ce0a307,
so backpatch this to 9.0-9.2 like that one.

The original coding failed miserably for BLCKSZ of 4K or less, as reported
by Josh Kupershmidt. With the present design for text indexes, a given
inner tuple could have up to 256 labels (requiring either 3K or 4K bytes
depending on MAXALIGN), which means that we can't positively guarantee no
failures for smaller blocksizes. But we can at least make it behave sanely
so long as there are few enough labels to fit on a page. Considering that
btree is also more prone to "index tuple too large" failures when BLCKSZ is
small, it's not clear that we should expend more work than this on this
case.

Because permissions are assigned to element types, not array types,
complaining about permission denied on an array type would be
misleading to users. So adjust the reporting to refer to the element
type instead.
In order not to duplicate the required logic in two dozen places,
refactor the permission denied reporting for types a bit.

This reverts commit 18fb9d8d21a28caddb72c7ffbdd7b96d52ff9724. Per
discussion, it does not seem like a good idea to allow committed changes to
go un-checkpointed indefinitely, as could happen in a low-traffic server;
that makes us entirely reliant on the WAL stream with no redundancy that
might aid data recovery in case of disk failure.
This re-introduces the original problem of hot-standby setups generating a
small continuing stream of WAL traffic even when idle, but there are other
ways to address that without compromising crash recovery, so we'll revisit
that issue in a future release cycle.

This provides a speedup of about 4X when NBuffers is large enough.
There is also a useful reduction in sinval traffic, since we
only do CacheInvalidateSmgr() once not once per fork.

WALSender now woken up after each background flush by WALwriter, avoiding
multi-second replication delay for an all-async commit workload.
Replication delay reduced from 7s with default settings to 200ms and often
much less, allowing significantly reduced data loss at failover.

In lazy_scan_heap, we could issue bogus warnings about incorrect
information in the visibility map, because we checked the visibility
map bit before locking the heap page, creating a race condition. Fix
by rechecking the visibility map bit before we complain. Rejigger
some related logic so that we rely on the possibly-outdated
all_visible_according_to_vm value as little as possible.
In heap_multi_insert, it's not safe to clear the visibility map bit
before beginning the critical section. The visibility map is not
crash-safe unless we treat clearing the bit as a critical operation.
Specifically, if the transaction were to error out after we set the
bit and before entering the critical section, we could end up writing
the heap page to disk (with the bit cleared) and crashing before the
visibility map page made it to disk. That would be bad. heap_insert
has this correct, but somehow the order of operations got rearranged
when heap_multi_insert was added.
Also, add some more comments to visibilitymap_test, lazy_scan_heap,
and IndexOnlyNext, expounding on concurrency issues.
Per extensive code review by Andres Freund, and further review by Tom
Lane, who also made the original report about the bogus warnings.

When we allowed read-only transactions to skip assigning XIDs
we introduced the possibility that a fully deleted btree page
could be reused. This broke the index link sequence which could
then lead to indexscans silently returning fewer rows than would
have been correct. The actual incidence of silent errors from
this is thought to be very low because of the exact workload
required and locking pre-conditions. Fix is to remove pages only
if index page opaque->btpo.xact precedes RecentGlobalXmin.

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 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
60b2444cc3ba037630c9b940c3c9ef01b954b87b, 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.

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.
