Treat TOAST index just the same as normal one and get the OID
of TOAST index from pg_index but not pg_class.reltoastidxid.
This change allows us to handle multiple TOAST indexes, and
which is required infrastructure for upcoming
REINDEX CONCURRENTLY feature.

An INSERT into such a view should work just like an INSERT into its base
table, ie the insertion should go directly into that table ... not be
duplicated into each child table, as was happening before, per bug #8275
from Rushabh Lathia. On the other hand, the current behavior for
UPDATE/DELETE seems reasonable: the update/delete traverses the child
tables, or not, depending on whether the view specifies ONLY or not.
Add some regression tests covering this area.

To that end, support tags rather than lengths for external datums.
As an example of how this can be used, add support or "indirect"
tuples which point to some externally allocated memory containing
a toast tuple. Similar infrastructure could be used for other
purposes, including, perhaps, support for alternative compression
algorithms.

SnapshotNow scans have the undesirable property that, in the face of
concurrent updates, the scan can fail to see either the old or the new
versions of the row. In many cases, we work around this by requiring
DDL operations to hold AccessExclusiveLock on the object being
modified; in some cases, the existing locking is inadequate and random
failures occur as a result. This commit doesn't change anything
related to locking, but will hopefully pave the way to allowing lock
strength reductions in the future.
The major issue has held us back from making this change in the past
is that taking an MVCC snapshot is significantly more expensive than
using a static special snapshot such as SnapshotNow. However, testing
of various worst-case scenarios reveals that this problem is not
severe except under fairly extreme workloads. To mitigate those
problems, we avoid retaking the MVCC snapshot for each new scan;
instead, we take a new snapshot only when invalidation messages have
been processed. The catcache machinery already requires that
invalidation messages be sent before releasing the related heavyweight
lock; else other backends might rely on locally-cached data rather
than scanning the catalog at all. Thus, making snapshot reuse
dependent on the same guarantees shouldn't break anything that wasn't
already subtly broken.

The pglz compressor has a significant startup cost, because it has to
initialize to zeros the history-tracking hash table. On a 64-bit system, the
hash table was 64kB in size. While clearing memory is pretty fast, for very
short inputs the relative cost of that was quite large.
This patch alleviates that in two ways. First, instead of storing pointers
in the hash table, store 16-bit indexes into the hist_entries array. That
slashes the size of the hash table to 1/2 or 1/4 of the original, depending
on the pointer width. Secondly, adjust the size of the hash table based on
input size. For very small inputs, you don't need a large hash table to
avoid collisions.

We don't normally bother retrying when the number of bytes written by
write() is short of what was requested. It is generally assumed that a
write() to disk doesn't return short, unless you run out of disk space.
While writing the WAL, however, it seems prudent to try a bit harder,
because a failure leads to PANIC. The write() is also much larger than most
write()s in the backend (up to wal_buffers), so there's more room for
surprises.
Also retry on EINTR. All signals used in the backend are flagged SA_RESTART
nowadays, so it shouldn't happen, but better to be defensive.

On immediate shutdown, or during a restart-after-crash sequence,
postmaster used to send SIGQUIT (and then abandon ship if shutdown); but
this is not a good strategy if backends don't die because of that
signal. (This might happen, for example, if a backend gets tangled
trying to malloc() due to gettext(), as in an example illustrated by
MauMau.) This causes problems when later trying to restart the server,
because some processes are still attached to the shared memory segment.
Instead of just abandoning such backends to their fates, we now have
postmaster hang around for a little while longer, send a SIGKILL after
some reasonable waiting period, and then exit. This makes immediate
shutdown more reliable.
There is disagreement on whether it's best for postmaster to exit after
sending SIGKILL, or to stick around until all children have reported
death. If this controversy is resolved differently than what this patch
implements, it's an easy change to make.

This results in a slightly less specific error message when OVER
is used in a context where we don't accept window functions, but
per discussion, it's worth it to get the benefit of not needing
to reserve this keyword any more. This same refactoring will
also let us avoid reserving some other keywords that we expect
to add in upcoming patches (specifically, IGNORE, RESPECT, and
FILTER).

On many platforms the OS will round the sleep time to millisecond
resolution, but there is no reason for us to pre-emptively round the
argument to pg_usleep.
When the delay was measured in milliseconds and started from 1 ms, it
sometimes took many attempts until the logic that increases the delay by
multiplying with a random value between 1 and 2 actually managed to bump it
from 1 ms to 2 ms. That lead to a sequence of 1 ms waits until the delay
started to increase. This wasn't really a problem but it looked odd if you
observed the waits. There is no measurable difference in performance, but
it's more readable this way.

The MaxAllocSize guard is convenient for most callers, because it
reduces the need for careful attention to overflow, data type selection,
and the SET_VARSIZE() limit. A handful of callers are happy to navigate
those hazards in exchange for the ability to allocate a larger chunk.
Introduce MemoryContextAllocHuge() and repalloc_huge(). Use this in
tuplesort.c and tuplestore.c, enabling internal sorts of up to INT_MAX
tuples, a factor-of-48 increase. In particular, B-tree index builds can
now benefit from much-larger maintenance_work_mem settings.

Valgrind "client requests" in aset.c and mcxt.c teach Valgrind and its
Memcheck tool about the PostgreSQL allocator. This makes Valgrind
roughly as sensitive to memory errors involving palloc chunks as it is
to memory errors involving malloc chunks. Further client requests in
PageAddItem() and printtup() verify that all bits being added to a
buffer page or furnished to an output function are predictably-defined.
Those tests catch failures of C-language functions to fully initialize
the bits of a Datum, which in turn stymie optimizations that rely on
_equalConst(). Define the USE_VALGRIND symbol in pg_config_manual.h to
enable these additions. An included "suppression file" silences nominal
errors we don't plan to fix.

GNU gettext selects a default encoding for the messages it emits in a
platform-specific manner; it uses the Windows ANSI code page on Windows
and follows LC_CTYPE on other platforms. This is inconvenient for
PostgreSQL server processes, so realize consistent cross-platform
behavior by calling bind_textdomain_codeset() on Windows each time we
permanently change LC_CTYPE. This primarily affects SQL_ASCII databases
and processes like the postmaster that do not attach to a database,
making their behavior consistent with PostgreSQL on non-Windows
platforms. Messages from SQL_ASCII databases use the encoding implied
by the database LC_CTYPE, and messages from non-database processes use
LC_CTYPE from the postmaster system environment. PlatformEncoding
becomes unused, so remove it.
Make write_console() prefer WriteConsoleW() to write() regardless of the
encodings in use. In this situation, write() will invariably mishandle
non-ASCII characters.
elog.c has assumed that messages conform to the database encoding.
While usually true, this does not hold for SQL_ASCII and MULE_INTERNAL.
Introduce MessageEncoding to track the actual encoding of message text.
The present consumers are Windows-specific code for converting messages
to UTF16 for use in system interfaces. This fixes the appearance in
Windows event logs and consoles of translated messages from SQL_ASCII
processes like the postmaster. Note that SQL_ASCII inherently disclaims
a strong notion of encoding, so non-ASCII byte sequences interpolated
into messages by %s may yet yield a nonsensical message. MULE_INTERNAL
has similar problems at present, albeit for a different reason: its lack
of libiconv support or a conversion to UTF8.
Consequently, one need no longer restart Windows with a different
Windows ANSI code page to broadly test backend logging under a given
language. Changing the user's locale ("Format") is enough. Several
accounts can simultaneously run postmasters under different locales, all
correctly logging localized messages to Windows event logs and consoles.

In replication, when we shutdown the master, walsender tries to send
all the outstanding WAL records to the standby, and then to exit. This
basically means that all the WAL records are fully synced between
two servers after the clean shutdown of the master. So, after
promoting the standby to new master, we can restart the stopped
master as new standby without the need for a fresh backup from
new master.
But there was one problem so far: though walsender tries to send all
the outstanding WAL records, it doesn't wait for them to be replicated
to the standby. Then, before receiving all the WAL records,
walreceiver can detect the closure of connection and exit. We cannot
guarantee that there is no missing WAL in the standby after clean
shutdown of the master. In this case, backup from new master is
required when restarting the stopped master as new standby.
This patch fixes this problem. It just changes walsender so that it
waits for all the outstanding WAL records to be replicated to the
standby before closing the replication connection.
Per discussion, this is a fix that needs to get backpatched rather than
new feature. So, back-patch to 9.1 where enough infrastructure for
this exists.

This avoids platform-dependent behavior wherein pg_sleep() might fail to be
interrupted by statement timeout, query cancel, SIGTERM, etc. Also, since
there's no reason to wake up once a second any more, we can reduce the

The exclusion of SIGALRM dates back to Berkeley days, when Postgres used
SIGALRM in only one very short stretch of code. Nowadays, allowing it to
interrupt kernel calls doesn't seem like a very good idea, since its use
for statement_timeout means SIGALRM could occur anyplace in the code, and
there are far too many call sites where we aren't prepared to deal with
EINTR failures. When third-party code is taken into consideration, it
seems impossible that we ever could be fully EINTR-proof, so better to
use SA_RESTART always and deal with the implications of that. One such
implication is that we should not assume pg_usleep() will be terminated
early by a signal. Therefore, long sleeps should probably be replaced
by WaitLatch operations where practical.
Back-patch to 9.3 so we can get some beta testing on this change.

SP-GiST's original scheme for avoiding deadlocks during concurrent index
insertions doesn't work, as per report from Hailong Li, and there isn't any
evident way to make it work completely. We could possibly lock individual
inner tuples instead of their whole pages, but preliminary experimentation
suggests that the performance penalty would be huge. Instead, if we fail
to get a buffer lock while descending the tree, just restart the tree
descent altogether. We keep the old tuple positioning rules, though, in
hopes of reducing the number of cases where this can happen.

elog.c has historically treated LOG messages as low-priority during
bootstrap and standalone operation. This has led to confusion and even
masked a bug, because the normal expectation of code authors is that
elog(LOG) will put something into the postmaster log, and that wasn't
happening during initdb. So get rid of the special-case rule and make
the priority order the same as it is in normal operation. To keep from
cluttering initdb's output and the behavior of a standalone backend,
tweak the severity level of three messages routinely issued by xlog.c
during startup and shutdown so that they won't appear in these cases.
Per my proposal back in December.

In most scenarios a portal without a ResourceOwner is dead and not subject
to any further execution, but a portal for a cursor WITH HOLD remains in
existence with no ResourceOwner after the creating transaction is over.
In this situation, if we attempt to "execute" the portal directly to fetch
data from it, we were setting CurrentResourceOwner to NULL, leading to a
segfault if the datatype output code did anything that required a resource
owner (such as trying to fetch system catalog entries that weren't already
cached). The case appears to be impossible to provoke with stock libpq,
but psqlODBC at least is able to cause it when working with held cursors.
Simplest fix is to just skip the assignment to CurrentResourceOwner, so
that any resources used by the data output operations will be managed by
the transaction-level resource owner instead. For consistency I changed
all the places that install a portal's resowner as current, even though
some of them are probably not reachable with a held cursor's portal.
Per report from Joshua Berry (with thanks to Hiroshi Inoue for developing
a self-contained test case). Back-patch to all supported versions.

Extend the FDW API (which we already changed for 9.3) so that an FDW can
report whether specific foreign tables are insertable/updatable/deletable.
The default assumption continues to be that they're updatable if the
relevant executor callback function is supplied by the FDW, but finer
granularity is now possible. As a test case, add an "updatable" option to
contrib/postgres_fdw.
This patch also fixes the information_schema views, which previously did
not think that foreign tables were ever updatable, and fixes
view_is_auto_updatable() so that a view on a foreign table can be
auto-updatable.
initdb forced due to changes in information_schema views and the functions
they rely on. This is a bit unfortunate to do post-beta1, but if we don't
change this now then we'll have another API break for FDWs when we do
change it.

Per discussion on -hackers. We treat Unicode escapes when unescaping
them similarly to the way we treat them in PostgreSQL string literals.
Escapes in the ASCII range are always accepted, no matter what the
database encoding. Escapes for higher code points are only processed in
UTF8 databases, and attempts to process them in other databases will
result in an error. \u0000 is never unescaped, since it would result in
an impermissible null byte.

We need to increment the refcount on the composite type's cached tuple
descriptor while we do lookups of its column types. Otherwise a cache
flush could occur and release the tuple descriptor before we're done with
it. This fails reliably with -DCLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS, but the odds of a
failure in a production build seem rather low (since the pfree'd descriptor
typically wouldn't get scribbled on immediately). That may explain the
lack of any previous reports. Buildfarm issue noted by Christian Ullrich.

When the existing code here was written, it made sense to special-case
RowExprs because that was the only way that we could handle row comparisons
at all. Now that we have record_eq() and arrays of composites, the generic
logic for "scalar" types will in fact work on RowExprs too, so there's no
reason to throw error for combinations of RowExprs and other ways of
forming composite values, nor to ignore the possibility of using a
ScalarArrayOpExpr. But keep using the old logic when comparing two
RowExprs, for consistency with the main transformAExprOp() logic. (This
allows some cases with not-quite-identical rowtypes to succeed, so we might
get push-back if we removed it.) Per bug #8198 from Rafal Rzepecki.

AllocateFile(), AllocateDir(), and some sister routines share a small array
for remembering requests, so that the files can be closed on transaction
failure. Previously that array had a fixed size, MAX_ALLOCATED_DESCS (32).
While historically that had seemed sufficient, Steve Toutant pointed out
that this meant you couldn't scan more than 32 file_fdw foreign tables in
one query, because file_fdw depends on the COPY code which uses
AllocateFile(). There are probably other cases, or will be in the future,
where this nonconfigurable limit impedes users.
We can't completely remove any such limit, at least not without a lot of
work, since each such request requires a kernel file descriptor and most
platforms limit the number we can have. (In principle we could
"virtualize" these descriptors, as fd.c already does for the main VFD pool,
but not without an additional layer of overhead and a lot of notational
impact on the calling code.) But we can at least let the array size be
configurable. Hence, change the code to allow up to max_safe_fds/2
allocated file requests. On modern platforms this should allow several
hundred concurrent file_fdw scans, or more if one increases the value of
max_files_per_process. To go much further than that, we'd need to do some
more work on the data structure, since the current code for closing
requests has potentially O(N^2) runtime; but it should still be all right
for request counts in this range.

In 9.2, Unicode escape sequences are not analysed at all other than
to make sure that they are in the form \uXXXX. But in 9.3 many of the
new operators and functions try to turn JSON text values into text in
the server encoding, and this includes de-escaping Unicode escape
sequences. This processing had not taken into account the possibility
that this might contain a surrogate pair to designate a character
outside the BMP. That is now handled correctly.
This also enforces correct use of surrogate pairs, something that is not
done by the type's input routines. This fact is noted in the docs.
