The old formula didn't take into account that each WAL sender process needs
a spinlock. We had also already exceeded the fixed number of spinlocks
reserved for misc purposes (10). Bump that to 30.
Backpatch to 9.0, where WAL senders were introduced. If I counted correctly,
9.0 had exactly 10 predefined spinlocks, and 9.1 exceeded that, but bump the
limit in 9.0 too because 10 is uncomfortably close to the edge.

The point of turning off track_activities is to avoid this reporting
overhead, but a thinko in commit 4f42b546fd87a80be30c53a0f2c897acb826ad52
caused pgstat_report_activity() to perform half of its updates anyway.
Fix that, and also make sure that we clear all the now-disabled fields
when transitioning to the non-reporting state.

An oversight in commit e710b65c1c56ca7b91f662c63d37ff2e72862a94 allowed
database names beginning with "-" to be treated as though they were secure
command-line switches; and this switch processing occurs before client
authentication, so that even an unprivileged remote attacker could exploit
the bug, needing only connectivity to the postmaster's port. Assorted
exploits for this are possible, some requiring a valid database login,
some not. The worst known problem is that the "-r" switch can be invoked
to redirect the process's stderr output, so that subsequent error messages
will be appended to any file the server can write. This can for example be
used to corrupt the server's configuration files, so that it will fail when
next restarted. Complete destruction of database tables is also possible.
Fix by keeping the database name extracted from a startup packet fully
separate from command-line switches, as had already been done with the
user name field.
The Postgres project thanks Mitsumasa Kondo for discovering this bug,
Kyotaro Horiguchi for drafting the fix, and Noah Misch for recognizing
the full extent of the danger.

The pg_start_backup() and pg_stop_backup() functions checked the privileges
of the initially-authenticated user rather than the current user, which is
wrong. For example, a user-defined index function could successfully call
these functions when executed by ANALYZE within autovacuum. This could
allow an attacker with valid but low-privilege database access to interfere
with creation of routine backups. Reported and fixed by Noah Misch.

In commit 0f61d4dd1b4f95832dcd81c9688dac56fd6b5687, I added code to copy up
column width estimates for each column of a subquery. That code supposed
that the subquery couldn't have any output columns that didn't correspond
to known columns of the current query level --- which is true when a query
is parsed from scratch, but the assumption fails when planning a view that
depends on another view that's been redefined (adding output columns) since
the upper view was made. This results in an assertion failure or even a
crash, as per bug #8025 from lindebg. Remove the Assert and instead skip
the column if its resno is out of the expected range.

The modern incarnation of md.c is by no means specific to magnetic disk
technology, but every so often we hear from someone who's misled by the
label. Try to clarify that it will work for anything that supports

The JSON parser is converted into a recursive descent parser, and
exposed for use by other modules such as extensions. The API provides
hooks for all the significant parser event such as the beginning and end
of objects and arrays, and providing functions to handle these hooks
allows for fairly simple construction of a wide variety of JSON
processing functions. A set of new basic processing functions and
operators is also added, which use this API, including operations to
extract array elements, object fields, get the length of arrays and the
set of keys of a field, deconstruct an object into a set of key/value
pairs, and create records from JSON objects and arrays of objects.
Catalog version bumped.

On older-model gcc, the original coding of UTILITY_BEGIN_QUERY() can
draw this error because of multiple assignments to _needCleanup.
Rather than mark that variable volatile, we can suppress the warning
by arranging to have just one unconditional assignment before PG_TRY.

This event takes place just before ddl_command_end, and is fired if and
only if at least one object has been dropped by the command. (For
instance, DROP TABLE IF EXISTS of a table that does not in fact exist
will not lead to such a trigger firing). Commands that drop multiple
objects (such as DROP SCHEMA or DROP OWNED BY) will cause a single event
to fire. Some firings might be surprising, such as
ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN.
The trigger is fired after the drop has taken place, because that has
been deemed the safest design, to avoid exposing possibly-inconsistent
internal state (system catalogs as well as current transaction) to the
user function code. This means that careful tracking of object
identification is required during the object removal phase.
Like other currently existing events, there is support for tag
filtering.
To support the new event, add a new pg_event_trigger_dropped_objects()
set-returning function, which returns a set of rows comprising the
objects affected by the command. This is to be used within the user
function code, and is mostly modelled after the recently introduced
pg_identify_object() function.
Catalog version bumped due to the new function.

Previously, if the postmaster initialized OpenSSL's PRNG (which it will do
when ssl=on in postgresql.conf), the same pseudo-random state would be
inherited by each forked child process. The problem is masked to a
considerable extent if the incoming connection uses SSL encryption, but
when it does not, identical pseudo-random state is made available to
functions like contrib/pgcrypto. The process's PID does get mixed into any
requested random output, but on most systems that still only results in 32K
or so distinct random sequences available across all Postgres sessions.
This might allow an attacker who has database access to guess the results
of "secure" operations happening in another session.
To fix, forcibly reset the PRNG after fork(). Each child process that has
need for random numbers from OpenSSL's generator will thereby be forced to
go through OpenSSL's normal initialization sequence, which should provide
much greater variability of the sequences. There are other ways we might
do this that would be slightly cheaper, but this approach seems the most
future-proof against SSL-related code changes.
This has been assigned CVE-2013-1900, but since the issue and the patch
have already been publicized on pgsql-hackers, there's no point in trying
to hide this commit.
Back-patch to all supported branches.

In a heap update, if the old and new tuple were on different pages, and the
new page no longer existed (because it was subsequently truncated away by
vacuum), heap_xlog_update forgot to release the pin on the old buffer. This
bug was introduced by the "Fix multiple problems in WAL replay" patch,
commit 3bbf668de9f1bc172371681e80a4e769b6d014c8 (on master branch).
With full_page_writes=off, this triggered an "incorrect local pin count"
error later in replay, if the old page was vacuumed.
This fixes bug #7969, reported by Yunong Xiao. Backpatch to 9.0, like the
commit that introduced this bug.

Checksums are set immediately prior to flush out of shared buffers
and checked when pages are read in again. Hint bit setting will
require full page write when block is dirtied, which causes various
infrastructure changes. Extensive comments, docs and README.
WARNING message thrown if checksum fails on non-all zeroes page;
ERROR thrown but can be disabled with ignore_checksum_failure = on.
Feature enabled by an initdb option, since transition from option off
to option on is long and complex and has not yet been implemented.
Default is not to use checksums.
Checksum used is WAL CRC-32 truncated to 16-bits.

Prior to 9.3 the commit_delay affected only the current user,
whereas now only the group leader waits while holding the
WALWriteLock. Deliberate or accidental settings to a poor
value could seriously degrade performance for all users.
Privileges may be delegated by SECURITY DEFINER functions
for anyone that needs per-user settings in real situations.

I wasn't going to ship this without having at least some example of how
to do that. This version isn't terribly bright; in particular it won't
consider any combinations of multiple join clauses. Given the cost of
executing a remote EXPLAIN, I'm not sure we want to be very aggressive
about doing that, anyway.
In support of this, refactor generate_implied_equalities_for_indexcol
so that it can be used to extract equivalence clauses that aren't
necessarily tied to an index.

The statistics-based cost estimation patch for range types broke that, by
incorrectly assuming that the left operand of all range oeprators is a
range. That lead to a "type x is not a range type" error. Because it took so
long for anyone to notice, add a regression test for that case.
We still don't do proper statistics-based cost estimation for that, so you
just get a default constant estimate. We should look into implementing that,
but this patch at least fixes the regression.

Introduce pg_identify_object(oid,oid,int4), which is similar in spirit
to pg_describe_object but instead produces a row of machine-readable
information to uniquely identify the given object, without resorting to
OIDs or other internal representation. This is intended to be used in
the event trigger implementation, to report objects being operated on;
but it has usefulness of its own.
Catalog version bumped because of the new function.

Rather than doing a fairly-expensive setitimer() call to prevent interrupts
from happening, let's just invent a simple boolean flag that the signal
handler is required to check. This is not only faster but considerably
more robust than before, since the previous code effectively assumed that
only ITIMER_REAL events would ever fire the SIGALRM handler, which is
obviously something that can be broken easily by third-party code.

We had two copies of this function in the backend and libpq, which was
already pretty bogus, but it turns out that we need it in some other
programs that don't use libpq (such as pg_test_fsync). So put it where
it probably should have been all along. The signal-mask-initialization
support in src/backend/libpq/pqsignal.c stays where it is, though, since
we only need that in the backend.

This GUC allows limiting the time spent waiting to acquire any one
heavyweight lock.
In support of this, improve the recently-added timeout infrastructure
to permit efficiently enabling or disabling multiple timeouts at once.
That reduces the performance hit from turning on lock_timeout, though
it's still not zero.

Formerly we just Assert'ed that each refcount was zero, which was quick
and easy but failed to provide a good overview of what was wrong.
Change the code so that we'll call PrintBufferLeakWarning() for each
buffer with a nonzero refcount, and then Assert at the end of the loop.
This costs nothing in runtime and might ease diagnosis of some bugs.

The planner sometimes inserts Result nodes to perform column projections
(ie, arbitrary scalar calculations) above plan nodes that lack projection
logic of their own. However, we did that even if the lower plan node was
in fact producing the required column set already; which is a pretty common
case given the popularity of "SELECT * FROM ...". Measurements show that
the useless plan node adds non-negligible overhead, especially when there
are many columns in the result. So add a check to avoid inserting a Result
node unless there's something useful for it to do.
There are a couple of remaining places where unnecessary Result nodes
could get inserted, but they are (a) much less performance-critical,
and (b) coded in such a way that it's hard to avoid inserting a Result,
because the desired tlist is changed on-the-fly in subsequent logic.
We'll leave those alone for now.

The error rule used to avoid backtracking with the U&'...' UESCAPE 'x'
syntax bloated the flex tables, so refactor that. This patch makes the error
rule shorter, by introducing a new exclusive flex state that's entered after
parsing U&'...'. This shrinks the postgres binary by about 220kB.

The estimates are based on the existing lower bound histogram, and a new
histogram of range lengths.
Bump catversion, because the range length histogram now needs to be present
in statistic slot kind 6, or you get an error on @> and <@ queries. (A
re-ANALYZE would be enough to fix that, though)

There's still some discussion about exactly how postgres_fdw ought to
handle this case, but there seems no debate that we want to allow defaults
to be used for inserts into foreign tables. So remove the core-code
restrictions that prevented it.
While at it, get rid of the special grammar productions for CREATE FOREIGN
TABLE, and instead add explicit FEATURE_NOT_SUPPORTED error checks for the
disallowed cases. This makes the grammar a shade smaller, and more
importantly results in much more intelligible error messages for
unsupported cases. It's also one less thing to fix if we ever start
supporting constraints on foreign tables.

This adds the following:
json_agg(anyrecord) -> json
to_json(any) -> json
hstore_to_json(hstore) -> json (also used as a cast)
hstore_to_json_loose(hstore) -> json
The last provides heuristic treatment of numbers and booleans.
Also, in json generation, if any non-builtin type has a cast to json,
that function is used instead of the type's output function.

Instead of just reporting which user failed to log in, log both the
line number in the active pg_hba.conf file (which may not match reality
in case the file has been edited and not reloaded) and the contents of
the matching line (which will always be correct), to make it easier
to debug incorrect pg_hba.conf files.
The message to the client remains unchanged and does not include this
information, to prevent leaking security sensitive information.

The previous coding of this function could get into situations where it
would never terminate, because successive passes would re-add EMPTY arcs
that had been removed by the previous pass. Rewrite the function
completely using a new algorithm that is guaranteed to terminate, and
also seems to be usually faster than the old one. Per Tcl bugs 3604074

If we were about to enter archive recovery after crash recovery, we scanned
the archive for the latest tli history file, and set the recovery target
timeline to that. However, when we actually tried to read the history file,
we would not fetch the file from the archive, because we were not in archive
recovery yet.
To fix, make readTimeLineHistory and existsTimeLineHistory to always fetch
