Partially revert the previous patch I installed and replace it with a more
general fix: any time a snapshot is pushed as Active, we need to ensure that it
will not be modified in the future. This means that if the same snapshot is
used as CurrentSnapshot, it needs to be copied separately. This affects
serializable transactions only, because CurrentSnapshot has already been copied
by RegisterSnapshot and so PushActiveSnapshot does not think it needs another
copy. However, CommandCounterIncrement would modify CurrentSnapshot, whereas
ActiveSnapshots must not have their command counters incremented.
I say "partially" because the regression test I added for the previous bug
has been kept.
(This restores 8.3 behavior, because before snapmgr.c existed, any snapshot set
as Active was copied.)

inheritance parent tables are compared using equal(), instead of doing
strcmp() on the nodeToString representation. The old implementation was
always a tad cheesy, and it finally fails completely as of 8.4, now that the
node tree might contain syntax location information. equal() knows it's
supposed to ignore those fields, but strcmp() hardly can. Per recent
report from Scott Ribe.

in CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION. The original code would update pg_shdepend
as if a new function was being created, even if it wasn't, with two bad
consequences: pg_shdepend might record the wrong owner for the function,
and any dependencies for roles mentioned in the function's ACL would be lost.
The fix is very easy: just don't touch pg_shdepend at all when doing a
function replacement.
Also update the CREATE FUNCTION reference page, which never explained
exactly what changes and doesn't change in a function replacement.
In passing, fix the CREATE VIEW reference page similarly; there's no
code bug there, but the docs didn't say what happens.

The old coding was using a regular snapshot, referenced elsewhere, that was
subject to having its command counter updated. Fix by creating a private copy
of the snapshot exclusively for the cursor.

The original coding correctly noted that these aren't just redundancies
(they're effectively X IS NOT NULL, assuming = is strict). However, they
got treated that way if X happened to be in a single-member EquivalenceClass
already, which could happen if there was an ORDER BY X clause, for instance.
The simplest and most reliable solution seems to be to not try to process
such clauses through the EquivalenceClass machinery; just throw them back
for traditional processing. The amount of work that'd be needed to be
smarter than that seems out of proportion to the benefit.
Per bug #5084 from Bernt Marius Johnsen, and analysis by Andrew Gierth.

possibility of shared-inval messages causing a relcache flush while it tries
to fill in missing data in preloaded relcache entries. There are actually
two distinct failure modes here:
1. The flush could delete the next-to-be-processed cache entry, causing
the subsequent hash_seq_search calls to go off into the weeds. This is
the problem reported by Michael Brown, and I believe it also accounts
for bug #5074. The simplest fix is to restart the hashtable scan after
we've read any new data from the catalogs. It appears that pre-8.4
branches have not suffered from this failure, because by chance there were
no other catalogs sharing the same hash chains with the catalogs that
RelationCacheInitializePhase2 had work to do for. However that's obviously
pretty fragile, and it seems possible that derivative versions with
additional system catalogs might be vulnerable, so I'm back-patching this
part of the fix anyway.
2. The flush could delete the *current* cache entry, in which case the
pointer to the newly-loaded data would end up being stored into an
already-deleted Relation struct. As long as it was still deleted, the only
consequence would be some leaked space in CacheMemoryContext. But it seems
possible that the Relation struct could already have been recycled, in
which case this represents a hard-to-reproduce clobber of cached data
structures, with unforeseeable consequences. The fix here is to pin the
entry while we work on it.
In passing, also change RelationCacheInitializePhase2 to Assert that
formrdesc() set up the relation's cached TupleDesc (rd_att) with the
correct type OID and hasoids values. This is more appropriate than
silently updating the values, because the original tupdesc might already
have been copied into the catcache. However this part of the patch is
not in HEAD because it fails due to some questionable recent changes in
formrdesc :-(. That will be cleaned up in a subsequent patch.

In practice these mistakes were always masked when full_page_writes was on,
because XLogInsert would always choose to log the full page, and then
ginRedoInsertListPage wouldn't try to do anything. But with full_page_writes
off a WAL replay failure was certain.
The GIN_INSERT_LISTPAGE record type could probably be eliminated entirely
in favor of using XLOG_HEAP_NEWPAGE, but I refrained from doing that now
since it would have required a significantly more invasive patch.
In passing do a little bit of code cleanup, including making the accounting
for free space on GIN list pages more precise. (This wasn't a bug as the
errors were always in the conservative direction.)
Per report from Simon. Back-patch to 8.4 which contains the identical code.

of checkpoint. Although the checkpoint has been written to WAL at that point
already, so that all data is safe, and we'll retry removing the WAL segment at
the next checkpoint, if such a failure persists we won't be able to remove any
other old WAL segments either and will eventually run out of disk space. It's
better to treat the failure as non-fatal, and move on to clean any other WAL
segment and continue with any other end-of-checkpoint cleanup.
We don't normally expect any such failures, but on Windows it can happen with
some anti-virus or backup software that lock files without FILE_SHARE_DELETE
flag.
Also, the loop in pgrename() to retry when the file is locked was broken. If a
file is locked on Windows, you get ERROR_SHARE_VIOLATION, not
ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED, at least on modern versions. Fix that, although I left
the check for ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED in there as well (presumably it was correct
in some environment), and added ERROR_LOCK_VIOLATION to be consistent with
similar checks in pgwin32_open(). Reduce the timeout on the loop from 30s to
10s, on the grounds that since it's been broken, we've effectively had a
timeout of 0s and no-one has complained, so a smaller timeout is actually
closer to the old behavior. A longer timeout would mean that if recycling a
WAL file fails because it's locked for some reason, InstallXLogFileSegment()
will hold ControlFileLock for longer, potentially blocking other backends, so
a long timeout isn't totally harmless.
While we're at it, set errno correctly in pgrename().
Backpatch to 8.2, which is the oldest version supported on Windows. The xlog.c
changes would make sense on other platforms and thus on older versions as
well, but since there's no such locking issues on other platforms, it's not
worth it.

In this case we generate two PathKey references to the expression (one for
DISTINCT and one for ORDER BY) and they really need to refer to the same
EquivalenceClass. However get_eclass_for_sort_expr was being overly paranoid
and creating two different EC's. Correct behavior is to use the SortGroupRef
index to decide whether two references to volatile expressions that are
equal() (ie textually equivalent) should be considered the same.
Backpatch to 8.4. Possibly this should be changed in 8.3 as well, but
I'll refrain in the absence of evidence of a visible failure in that branch.

file handle on it, the file goes into "pending deletion" state where it
still shows up in directory listing, but isn't accessible otherwise. That
confuses RemoveOldXLogFiles(), making it think that the file hasn't been
archived yet, while it actually was, and it was deleted along with the .done
file.
Fix that by renaming the file with ".deleted" extension before deleting it.
Also check the return value of rename() and unlink(), so that if the removal
fails for any reason (e.g another process is holding the file locked), we
don't delete the .done file until the WAL file is really gone.
Backpatch to 8.2, which is the oldest version supported on Windows.

code was already okay with this, but the hack that obtained the output
column types of a recursive union in advance of doing real parse analysis
of the recursive union forgot to handle the case where there was an inner
WITH clause available to the non-recursive term. Best fix seems to be to
refactor so that we don't need the "throwaway" parse analysis step at all.
Instead, teach the transformSetOperationStmt code to set up the CTE's output
column information after it's processed the non-recursive term normally.

to unload and re-load the library.
The difficulty with unloading a library is that we haven't defined safe
protocols for doing so. In particular, there's no safe mechanism for
getting out of a "hook" function pointer unless libraries are unloaded
in reverse order of loading. And there's no mechanism at all for undefining
a custom GUC variable, so GUC would be left with a pointer to an old value
that might or might not still be valid, and very possibly wouldn't be in
the same place anymore.
While the unload and reload behavior had some usefulness in easing
development of new loadable libraries, it's of no use whatever to normal
users, so just disabling it isn't giving up that much. Someday we might
care to expend the effort to develop safe unload protocols; but even if
we did, there'd be little certainty that every third-party loadable module
was following them, so some security restrictions would still be needed.
Back-patch to 8.2; before that, LOAD was superuser-only anyway.

functions.
This extends the previous patch that forbade SETting these variables inside
security-definer functions. RESET is equally a security hole, since it
would allow regaining privileges of the caller; furthermore it can trigger
Assert failures and perhaps other internal errors, since the code is not
expecting these variables to change in such contexts. The previous patch
did not cover this case because assign hooks don't really have enough
information, so move the responsibility for preventing this into guc.c.

to occur for division by zero, even though the code is carefully avoiding
that. All available evidence is that the only functions affected are
int24div, int48div, and int28div, so patch just those three functions to
include a "return" after the ereport() call.
Backpatch to 8.4 so that the fix can be tested in production builds.
For older branches our recommendation will continue to be to use -O1
on affected platforms (which are mostly non-mainstream anyway).

that's generated for a whole-row Var referencing the subquery, when the
subquery is in the nullable side of an outer join. The previous coding
instead put PlaceHolderVars around the elements of the RowExpr. The effect
was that when the outer join made the subquery outputs go to null, the
whole-row Var produced ROW(NULL,NULL,...) rather than just NULL. There
are arguments afoot about whether those things ought to be semantically
indistinguishable, but for the moment they are not entirely so, and the
planner needs to take care that its machinations preserve the difference.
Per bug #5025.
Making this feasible required refactoring ResolveNew() to allow more caller
control over what is substituted for a Var. I chose to make ResolveNew()
a wrapper around a new general-purpose function replace_rte_variables().
I also fixed the ancient bogosity that ResolveNew might fail to set
a query's hasSubLinks field after inserting a SubLink in it. Although
all current callers make sure that happens anyway, we've had bugs of that
sort before, and it seemed like a good time to install a proper solution.
Back-patch to 8.4. The problem can be demonstrated clear back to 8.0,
but the fix would be too invasive in earlier branches; not to mention
that people may be depending on the subtly-incorrect behavior. The
8.4 series is new enough that fixing this probably won't cause complaints,
but it might in older branches. Also, 8.4 shows the incorrect behavior
in more cases than older branches do, because it is able to flatten
subqueries in more cases.

so that their elements are always taken as simple expressions over the
query's input columns. It originally seemed like a good idea to make them
act exactly like GROUP BY and ORDER BY, right down to the SQL92-era behavior
of accepting output column names or numbers. However, that was not such a
great idea, for two reasons:
1. It permits circular references, as exhibited in bug #5018: the output
column could be the one containing the window function itself. (We actually
had a regression test case illustrating this, but nobody thought twice about
how confusing that would be.)
2. It doesn't seem like a good idea for, eg, "lead(foo) OVER (ORDER BY foo)"
to potentially use two completely different meanings for "foo".
Accordingly, narrow down the behavior of window clauses to use only the
SQL99-compliant interpretation that the expressions are simple expressions.

ThisTimeLineID needs to be initialized before calling AdvanceXLInsertBuffer().

Instead of sending stdout/stderr to /dev/null after forking away from the
terminal, send them to postmaster.log within the data directory. Since
this opens the door to indefinite logfile bloat, recommend even more
strongly that log output be redirected when using silent_mode.
Move the postmaster's initial calls of load_hba() and load_ident() down
to after we have started the log collector, if we are going to. This
is so that errors reported by them will appear in the "usual" place.
Reclassify silent_mode as a LOGGING_WHERE, not LOGGING_WHEN, parameter,
since it's got absolutely nothing to do with the latter category.
In passing, fix some obsolete references to -S ... this option hasn't
had that switch letter for a long time.
Back-patch to 8.4, since as of 8.4 load_hba() and load_ident() are more
picky (and thus more likely to fail) than they used to be. This entire
change was driven by a complaint about those errors disappearing into
the bit bucket.

This causes problems when the system load is high, per report from Zdenek
Kotala in <1250860954.1239.114.camel@localhost>; instead of calling kill
directly, have the signal handler set a flag which is checked in ServerLoop.
This way, the handler can return before being called again by a subsequent
signal sent from the autovacuum launcher. Also, increase the sleep in the
launcher in this failure path to 1 second.
Backpatch to 8.3, which is when the signalling between autovacuum
launcher/postmaster was introduced.
Also, add a couple of ReleasePostmasterChildSlot calls in error paths; this
part backpatched to 8.4 which is when the child slot stuff was introduced.

"all tuples visible" flag in heap page headers. The flag update *must*
be applied before calling XLogInsert, but heap_update and the tuple
moving routines in VACUUM FULL were ignoring this rule. A crash and
replay could therefore leave the flag incorrectly set, causing rows
to appear visible in seqscans when they should not be. This might explain
recent reports of data corruption from Jeff Ross and others.
In passing, do a bit of editorialization on comments in visibilitymap.c.

values before they get passed to the index access method. This avoids
repeated detoastings that will otherwise ensue as the comparison value
is examined by various index support functions. We have seen a couple of
reports of cases where repeated detoastings result in an order-of-magnitude
slowdown, so it seems worth adding a bit of extra logic to prevent this.
I had previously proposed trying to avoid duplicate detoastings in general,
but this fix takes care of what seems the most important case in practice
with very little effort or risk.
Back-patch to 8.4 so that the PostGIS folk won't have to wait a year to
have this fix in a production release. (The issue exists further back,
of course, but the code's diverged enough to make backpatching further a
higher-risk action. Also it appears that the possible gains may be limited
in prior releases because of different handling of lossy operators.)

This has been broken since the arrays-of-composite-types code went in.

include a fractional part in the output for MILLISECOND and SECOND cases,
rather than truncating the source value. This is what the float-timestamp
code has always done, and it was clearly the code author's intent to do
the same for integer timestamps, but he forgot about integer division in C.
The other datatypes supported by EXTRACT() already do this correctly.
Backpatch to 8.4, so that the default (integer) behavior of that branch will
match the default (float) behavior of older branches. Arguably we should
patch further back, but it's possible that applications are expecting the
broken behavior in older branches. 8.4 is new enough that expectations
shouldn't be too settled.

of individually pfree'ing pass-by-reference transition values. This should
be at least as fast as the prior coding, and it has the major advantage of
clearing out any working data an aggregate function may have stored in or
underneath the aggcontext. This avoids memory leakage when an aggregate
such as array_agg() is used in GROUP BY mode. Per report from Chris Spotts.
Back-patch to 8.4. In principle the problem could arise in prior versions,
but since they didn't have array_agg the issue seems not critical.
