The cash_div_intX functions applied rint() to the result of the division.
That's not merely useless (because the result is already an integer) but
it causes precision loss for values larger than 2^52 or so, because of
the forced conversion to float8.
On the other hand, the cash_mul_fltX functions neglected to apply rint() to
their multiplication results, thus possibly causing off-by-one outputs.
Per C standard, arithmetic between any integral value and a float value is
performed in float format. Thus, cash_mul_flt4 and cash_div_flt4 produced
answers good to only about six digits, even when the float value is exact.
We can improve matters noticeably by widening the float inputs to double.
(It's tempting to consider using "long double" arithmetic if available,
but that's probably too much of a stretch for a back-patched fix.)
Also, document that cash_div_intX operators truncate rather than round.
Per bug #14663 from Richard Pistole. Back-patch to all supported branches.

The CommentStmt made by RebuildConstraintComment() has to pstrdup the
relation name, else it will contain a dangling pointer after that
relcache entry is flushed. (I'm less sure that pstrdup'ing conname
is necessary, but let's be safe.) Failure to do this leads to weird
errors or crashes, as reported by Marko Elezovic.

Before 955a684e0401 logical decoding snapshot maintenance needed to
cope with transactions it might not have seen in their entirety. For
such transactions we'd to assume they modified the catalog (could have
happened before we were watching), and thus a new snapshot had to be
built, and distributed to concurrently running transactions.
That's problematic because building a new snapshot isn't that cheap ,
especially as the the array of committed transactions needs to be
sorted. When creating a slot on a server with a lot of transactions,
this could make logical slot creation infeasibly expensive.
After 955a684e0401 there's no need to deal with transaction that
aren't guaranteed to be fully observable. That allows to avoid
building snapshots for transactions that haven't modified catalog,
even before reaching consistency.
While this isn't necessarily a bugfix, slot creation being impossible
in some production workloads, is severe enough to warrant
backpatching.

The snapshot assembly during the creation of logical slots relied
waiting for transactions in xl_running_xacts to end, by checking for
their commit/abort records. Unfortunately, despite locking, it is
possible to see an xl_running_xact record listing transactions as
ready, that have already WAL-logged an commit/abort record, as the
locking just prevents the ProcArray to be adjusted, and the commit
record has to be logged first.
That lead to either delayed or hanging snapshot creation, because
snapbuild.c would wait "forever" to see commit/abort records for some
transactions. That hang resolved only if a xl_running_xacts record
without any running transactions happened to be logged, far from
certain on a busy server.
It's impractical to prevent that via more heavyweight locking, the
likelihood of deadlocks and significantly increased contention would
be too big.
Instead change the initial snapshot creation to be solely based on
tracking the oldest running transaction via
xl_running_xacts->oldestRunningXid - that actually ends up
significantly simplifying the code. That has two disadvantages:
1) Because we cannot fully "trust" the contents of xl_running_xacts,
we cannot use it to build the initial snapshot. Instead we have to
wait twice for all running transactions to finish.
2) Previously a slot, unless the race occurred, could be created when
the all transaction perceived as running based on commit/abort
records, now we have to wait for the next xl_running_xacts record.
To address that, trigger logging new xl_running_xacts record from
within snapbuild.c exactly when necessary.
Unfortunately snabuild.c's SnapBuild is stored on disk, one of the
stupider ideas of a certain Mr Freund, so we can't change it in a
minor release. As this is going to be backpatched, we have to hack
around a bit to keep on-disk compatibility. A later commit will
rejigger that on master.

We have now grown enough registerable syscache-invalidation callback
functions that the original assumption that there would be few of them
is causing performance problems. In particular, let's fix things so that
CallSyscacheCallbacks doesn't have to search the whole array to find
which callback(s) to invoke for a given cache ID. Preserve the original
behavior that callbacks are called in order of registration, just in
case there's someplace that depends on that (which I doubt).
In support of this, export the number of syscaches from syscache.h.
People could have found that out anyway from the enum, but adding a
#define makes that much safer.
This provides a useful additional speedup in Mathieu Fenniak's
logical-decoding test case, although we're reaching the point of
diminishing returns there. I think any further improvement will have
to come from reducing the number of cache invalidations that are
triggered in the first place. Still, we can hope that this change
gives some incremental benefit for all invalidation scenarios.
Back-patch to 9.4 where logical decoding was introduced.

A test case provided by Mathieu Fenniak shows that hash_seq_search'ing
this hashtable can consume a very significant amount of overhead during
logical decoding, which triggers frequent cache invalidation. Testing
suggests that the actual population of the hashtable is often no more
than a few dozen entries, so we can cut the overhead just by dropping
the initial number of buckets down from 1024 --- I chose to cut it to 64.
(In situations where we do have a significant number of entries, we
shouldn't get any real penalty from doing this, as the dynahash.c code
will resize the hashtable automatically.)
This gives a further factor-of-two savings in Mathieu's test case.
That may be overly optimistic for real-world benefit, as real cases
may have larger average table populations, but it's hard to see it
turning into a net negative for any workload.

A test case provided by Mathieu Fenniak shows that the initial search for
the target catcache in CatalogCacheIdInvalidate consumes a very significant
amount of overhead in cases where cache invalidation is triggered but has
little useful work to do. There is no good reason for that search to exist
at all, as the index array maintained by syscache.c allows direct lookup of
the catcache from its ID. We just need a frontend function in syscache.c,
matching the division of labor for most other cache-accessing operations.
While there's more that can be done in this area, this patch alone reduces
the runtime of Mathieu's example by 2X. We can hope that it offers some
useful benefit in other cases too, although usually cache invalidation
overhead is not such a striking fraction of the total runtime.
Back-patch to 9.4 where logical decoding was introduced. It might be
worth going further back, but presently the only case we know of where
cache invalidation is really a significant burden is in logical decoding.
Also, older branches have fewer catcaches, reducing the possible benefit.
(Note: although this nominally changes catcache's API, we have always
documented CatalogCacheIdInvalidate as a private function, so I would
have little sympathy for an external module calling it directly. So
backpatching should be fine.)

Increase from the historical value of 32 to 64. We are up to 31 callers
of CacheRegisterSyscacheCallback() in HEAD, so if they were all to be
exercised in one process that would leave only one slot for add-on modules.
It's probably not possible for that to happen, but still we clearly need
more daylight here. (At some point it might be worth making the array
dynamically resizable; but since we've never heard a complaint of "out of
syscache_callback_list slots" happening in the field, I doubt it's worth
it yet.)
Back-patch as far as 9.4, which is where we increased the companion limit
MAX_RELCACHE_CALLBACKS (cf commit f01d1ae3a). It's not as urgent in
released branches, which have only a couple dozen call sites in core, but
it still seems that somebody might hit the limit before these branches die.

Values in a STATISTIC_KIND_RANGE_LENGTH_HISTOGRAM slot are float8,

This bug is at least partly the fault of sloppy specification comments
for get_attstatsslot()/free_attstatsslot(): the type OID they want is that
of the stavalues entries, not of the underlying column. (I double-checked
other callers and they seem to get this right.) Adjust the comments to be

Both views replace the umoptions field with NULL when the user does not
meet qualifications to see it. They used different qualifications, and
pg_user_mappings documented qualifications did not match its implemented

Some selectivity estimation functions run user-supplied operators over
data obtained from pg_statistic without security checks, which allows
those operators to leak pg_statistic data without having privileges on
the underlying tables. Fix by checking that one of the following is
satisfied: (1) the user has table or column privileges on the table
underlying the pg_statistic data, or (2) the function implementing the
user-supplied operator is leak-proof. If neither is satisfied, planning
will proceed as if there are no statistics available.
At least one of these is satisfied in most cases in practice. The only
situations that are negatively impacted are user-defined or
not-leak-proof operators on a security-barrier view.

When we add the SELECT-privilege based policies to the RLS with check
options (such as for an UPDATE statement, or when we have INSERT ...
RETURNING), we need to be sure and use the 'USING' case if the policy is
actually an 'ALL' policy (which could have both a USING clause and an
independent WITH CHECK clause).
This could result in policies acting differently when built using ALL
(when the ALL had both USING and WITH CHECK clauses) and when building
the policies independently as SELECT and UPDATE policies.
Fix this by adding an explicit boolean to add_with_check_options() to
indicate when the USING policy should be used, even if the policy has
both USING and WITH CHECK policies on it.

GiST's getNextNearest() function attempts to pfree the previously-returned
tuple if any (that is, scan->xs_hitup in HEAD, or scan->xs_itup in older
branches). However, if we are rescanning a plan node after ending a
previous scan early, those tuple pointers could be pointing to garbage,
because they would be pointing into the scan's pageDataCxt or queueCxt
which has been reset. In a debug build this reliably results in a crash,
although I think it might sometimes accidentally fail to fail in
production builds.
To fix, clear the pointer field anyplace we reset a context it might
be pointing into. This may be overkill --- I think probably only the
queueCxt case is involved in this bug, so that resetting in gistrescan()
would be sufficient --- but dangling pointers are generally bad news,
so let's avoid them.
Another plausible answer might be to just not bother with the pfree in
getNextNearest(). The reconstructed tuples would go away anyway in the
context resets, and I'm far from convinced that freeing them a bit earlier
really saves anything meaningful. I'll stick with the original logic in
this patch, but if we find more problems in the same area we should
consider that approach.
Per bug #14641 from Denis Smirnov. Back-patch to 9.5 where this
logic was introduced.

Logical decoding stores historical snapshots on disk, so that logical
decoding can restart without having to reconstruct a snapshot from
scratch (for which the resources are not guaranteed to be present
anymore). These serialized snapshots were also used when creating a
new slot via the walsender interface, which can export a "full"
snapshot (i.e. one that can read all tables, not just catalog ones).
The problem is that the serialized snapshots are only useful for
catalogs and not for normal user tables. Thus the use of such a
serialized snapshot could result in an inconsistent snapshot being
exported, which could lead to queries returning wrong data. This
would only happen if logical slots are created while another logical
slot already exists.

The logical decoding machinery already preserved all the required
catalog tuples, which is sufficient in the course of normal logical
decoding, but did not guarantee that non-catalog tuples were preserved
during computation of the initial snapshot when creating a slot over
the replication protocol.
This could cause a corrupted initial snapshot being exported. The
time window for issues is usually not terribly large, but on a busy
server it's perfectly possible to it hit it. Ongoing decoding is not
affected by this bug.
To avoid increased overhead for the SQL API, only retain additional
tuples when a logical slot is being created over the replication
protocol. To do so this commit changes the signature of
CreateInitDecodingContext(), but it seems unlikely that it's being
used in an extension, so that's probably ok.
In a drive-by fix, fix handling of
ReplicationSlotsComputeRequiredXmin's already_locked argument, which
should only apply to ProcArrayLock, not ReplicationSlotControlLock.

Although the postmaster doesn't currently create a self-pipe or any
latches, there's discussion of it doing so in future. It's also
conceivable that a shared_preload_libraries extension would try to
create such a thing in the postmaster process today. In that case
the self-pipe FDs would be inherited by forked child processes.
latch.c was entirely unprepared for such a case and could suffer an
assertion failure, or worse try to use the inherited pipe if somebody
called WaitLatch without having called InitializeLatchSupport in that
process. Make it keep track of whether InitializeLatchSupport has been
called in the *current* process, and do the right thing if state has
been inherited from a parent.
Apply FD_CLOEXEC to file descriptors created in latch.c (the self-pipe,
as well as epoll event sets). This ensures that child processes spawned
in backends, the archiver, etc cannot accidentally or intentionally mess
with these FDs. It also ensures that we end up with the right state
for the self-pipe in EXEC_BACKEND processes, which otherwise wouldn't
know to close the postmaster's self-pipe FDs.
Back-patch to 9.6, mainly to keep latch.c looking similar in all branches
it exists in.

Previously, maybe_start_bgworker() would launch at most one bgworker
process per call, on the grounds that the postmaster might otherwise
neglect its other duties for too long. However, that seems overly
conservative, especially since bad effects only become obvious when
many hundreds of bgworkers need to be launched at once. On the other
side of the coin is that the existing logic could result in substantial
delay of bgworker launches, because ServerLoop isn't guaranteed to
iterate immediately after a signal arrives. (My attempt to fix that
by using pselect(2) encountered too many portability question marks,
and in any case could not help on platforms without pselect().)
One could also question the wisdom of using an O(N^2) processing
method if the system is intended to support so many bgworkers.
As a compromise, allow that function to launch up to 100 bgworkers
per call (and in consequence, rename it to maybe_start_bgworkers).
This will allow any normal parallel-query request for workers
to be satisfied immediately during sigusr1_handler, avoiding the
question of whether ServerLoop will be able to launch more promptly.
There is talk of rewriting the postmaster to use a WaitEventSet to
avoid the signal-response-delay problem, but I'd argue that this change
should be kept even after that happens (if it ever does).
Backpatch to 9.6 where parallel query was added. The issue exists
before that, but previous uses of bgworkers typically aren't as
sensitive to how quickly they get launched.

This reverts commit b9515b62879722e3497236f6e0d6783c3fc059a2.
Buildfarm results suggest that some platforms have versions of pselect(2)
that are not merely non-atomic, but flat out non-functional. Revert the
use-pselect patch to confirm this diagnosis (and exclude the no-SA_RESTART
patch as the source of trouble). If it's so, we should probably look into

Traditionally we've unblocked signals, called select(2), and then blocked
signals again. The code expects that the select() will be cancelled with
EINTR if an interrupt occurs; but there's a race condition, which is that
an already-pending signal will be delivered as soon as we unblock, and then
when we reach select() there will be nothing preventing it from waiting.
This can result in a long delay before we perform any action that
ServerLoop was supposed to have taken in response to the signal. As with
the somewhat-similar symptoms fixed by commit 893902085, the main practical
problem is slow launching of parallel workers. The window for trouble is
usually pretty short, corresponding to one iteration of ServerLoop; but
it's not negligible.
To fix, use pselect(2) in place of select(2) where available, as that's
designed to solve exactly this problem. Where not available, we continue
to use the old way, and are no worse off than before.
pselect(2) has been required by POSIX since about 2001, so most modern
platforms should have it. A bigger portability issue is that some
implementations are said to be non-atomic, ie pselect() isn't really
any different from unblock/select/reblock. Still, we're no worse off
than before on such a platform.
There is talk of rewriting the postmaster to use a WaitEventSet and
not do signal response work in signal handlers, at which point this
could be reverted, since we'd be using a self-pipe to solve the race
condition. But that's not happening before v11 at the earliest.
Back-patch to 9.6. The problem exists much further back, but the
worst symptom arises only in connection with parallel query, so it
does not seem worth taking any portability risks in older branches.

for something to happen in ServerLoop(). The code expects that the
select(2) will be cancelled with EINTR if an interrupt occurs; without
that, followup actions that should be performed by ServerLoop() itself
will be delayed. However, some platforms interpret the SA_RESTART
signal flag as meaning that they should restart rather than cancel
the select(2). Worse yet, some of them restart it with the original
timeout delay, meaning that a steady stream of signal interrupts can
prevent ServerLoop() from iterating at all if there are no incoming
connection requests.
Observable symptoms of this, on an affected platform such as HPUX 10,
include extremely slow parallel query startup (possibly as much as
30 seconds) and failure to update timestamps on the postmaster's sockets
and lockfiles when no new connections arrive for a long time.
We can fix this by running the postmaster's signal handlers without
SA_RESTART. That would be quite a scary change if the range of code
where signals are accepted weren't so tiny, but as it is, it seems
safe enough. (Note that postmaster children do, and must, reset all
the handlers before unblocking signals; so this change should not
affect any child process.)
There is talk of rewriting the postmaster to use a WaitEventSet and
not do signal response work in signal handlers, at which point it might
be appropriate to revert this patch. But that's not happening before
v11 at the earliest.
Back-patch to 9.6. The problem exists much further back, but the
worst symptom arises only in connection with parallel query, so it
does not seem worth taking any portability risks in older branches.

This corner case didn't behave nicely at all: the postmaster would
(partially) update its state as though the process had started
successfully, and be quite confused thereafter. Fix it to act
like the worker had crashed, instead.
In passing, refactor so that do_start_bgworker contains all the
state-change logic for bgworker launch, rather than just some of it.
Back-patch as far as 9.4. 9.3 contains similar logic, but it's just
enough different that I don't feel comfortable applying the patch
without more study; and the use of bgworkers in 9.3 was so small
that it doesn't seem worth the extra work.
transam/parallel.c is still entirely unprepared for the possibility
of bgworker startup failure, but that seems like material for a
separate patch.

This seems to be largely cosmetic, avoiding valgrind bleats and the
like. The uninitialized padding influences the CRC of the on-disk
entry, but because it's also used when verifying the CRC, that doesn't
cause spurious failures. Backpatch nonetheless.
It's a bit unfortunate that contrib/test_decoding/sql/replorigin.sql
doesn't exercise the checkpoint path, but checkpoints are fairly
expensive on weaker machines, and we'd have to stop/start for that to
be meaningful.

ProcessTwoPhaseBuffer (formerly StandbyRecoverPreparedTransactions)
mixed up the parent and child XIDs when calling SubTransSetParent to
record the transactions' relationship in pg_subtrans.
Remarkably, analysis by Simon Riggs suggests that this doesn't lead to
visible problems (at least, not in non-Assert builds). That might
explain why we'd not noticed it before. Nonetheless, it's surely wrong.
This code was born broken, so back-patch to all supported branches.

The POSIX standard does not say that the success return value for
fcntl(F_SETFD) and fcntl(F_SETFL) is zero; it says only that it's not -1.
We had several calls that were making the stronger assumption. Adjust
them to test specifically for -1 for strict spec compliance.
The standard further leaves open the possibility that the O_NONBLOCK
flag bit is not the only active one in F_SETFL's argument. Formally,
therefore, one ought to get the current flags with F_GETFL and store
them back with only the O_NONBLOCK bit changed when trying to change
the nonblock state. In port/noblock.c, we were doing the full pushup
in pg_set_block but not in pg_set_noblock, which is just weird. Make
both of them do it properly, since they have little business making
any assumptions about the socket they're handed. The other places
where we're issuing F_SETFL are working with FDs we just got from
pipe(2), so it's reasonable to assume the FDs' properties are all
default, so I didn't bother adding F_GETFL steps there.
Also, while pg_set_block deserves some points for trying to do things
right, somebody had decided that it'd be even better to cast fcntl's
third argument to "long". Which is completely loony, because POSIX
clearly says the third argument for an F_SETFL call is "int".
Given the lack of field complaints, these missteps apparently are not
of significance on any common platforms. But they're still wrong,
so back-patch to all supported branches.

We were applying the use_physical_tlist optimization to all relation
scan plans, even those implemented by custom scan providers. However,
that's a bad idea for a couple of reasons. The custom provider might
be unable to provide columns that it hadn't expected to be asked for
(for example, the custom scan might depend on an index-only scan).
Even more to the point, there's no good reason to suppose that this
"optimization" is a win for a custom scan; whatever the custom provider
is doing is likely not based on simply returning physical heap tuples.
(As a counterexample, if the custom scan is an interface to a column store,
demanding all columns would be a huge loss.) If it is a win, the custom
provider could make that decision for itself and insert a suitable
pathtarget into the path, anyway.
Per discussion with Dmitry Ivanov. Back-patch to 9.5 where custom scan
support was introduced. The argument that the custom provider can adjust
the behavior by changing the pathtarget only applies to 9.6+, but on
balance it seems more likely that use_physical_tlist will hurt custom
scans than help them.

In standard non-Windows builds, there's no particular reason to care what
address the kernel chooses to map the shared memory segment at. However,
when building with EXEC_BACKEND, there's a risk that the chosen address
won't be available in all child processes. Linux with ASLR enabled (which
it is by default) seems particularly at risk because it puts shmem segments
into the same area where it maps shared libraries. We can work around
that by specifying a mapping address that's outside the range where
shared libraries could get mapped. On x86_64 Linux, 0x7e0000000000
seems to work well.
This is only meant for testing/debugging purposes, so it doesn't seem
necessary to go as far as providing a GUC (or any user-visible
documentation, though we might change that later). Instead, it's just
controlled by setting an environment variable PG_SHMEM_ADDR to the
desired attach address.
Back-patch to all supported branches, since the point here is to
remove intermittent buildfarm failures on EXEC_BACKEND animals.
Owners of affected animals will need to add a suitable setting of
PG_SHMEM_ADDR to their build_env configuration.

regexport.c thought it could just ignore LACON arcs, but the correct
behavior is to treat them as satisfiable while consuming zero input
(rather reminiscently of commit 9f1e642d5). Otherwise, the emitted
simplified-NFA representation may contain no paths leading from initial
to final state, which unsurprisingly confuses pg_trgm, as seen in
bug #14623 from Jeff Janes.
Since regexport's output representation has no concept of an arc that
consumes zero input, recurse internally to find the next normal arc(s)
after any LACON transitions. We'd be forced into changing that
representation if a LACON could be the last arc reaching the final
state, but fortunately the regex library never builds NFAs with such
a configuration, so there always is a next normal arc.
Back-patch to 9.3 where this logic was introduced.

As reported by Sean Johnston in bug #14614, since 9.6 the planner can fail
due to trying to look up the referent of a Var with varno 0. This happens
because we generate such Vars in generate_append_tlist, for lack of any
better way to describe the output of a SetOp node. In typical situations
nothing really cares about that, but given nested set-operation queries
we will call estimate_num_groups on the output of the subquery, and that
wants to know what a Var actually refers to. That logic used to look at
subquery->targetList, but in commit 3fc6e2d7f I'd switched it to look at
subroot->processed_tlist, ie the actual output of the subquery plan not the
parser's idea of the result. It seemed like a good idea at the time :-(.
As a band-aid fix, change it back.
Really we ought to have an honest way of naming the outputs of SetOp steps,
which suggests that it'd be a good idea for the parser to emit an RTE
corresponding to each one. But that's a task for another day, and it
certainly wouldn't yield a back-patchable fix.

HandleFunctionRequest() is no longer responsible for reading the protocol
message from the client, since commit 2b3a8b20c2. Fix the outdated
comments.
HandleFunctionRequest() now always returns 0, because the code that used
to return EOF was moved in 2b3a8b20c2. Therefore, the caller no longer
needs to check the return value.

this doesn't have any user-visible effect, to make backporting future

When using integer timestamps, the interval-comparison functions tried
to compute the overall magnitude of an interval as an int64 number of
microseconds. As reported by Frazer McLean, this overflows for intervals
exceeding about 296000 years, which is bad since we nominally allow
intervals many times larger than that. That results in wrong comparison
results, and possibly in corrupted btree indexes for columns containing
such large interval values.
To fix, compute the magnitude as int128 instead. Although some compilers
have native support for int128 calculations, many don't, so create our
own support functions that can do 128-bit addition and multiplication
if the compiler support isn't there. These support functions are designed
with an eye to allowing the int128 code paths in numeric.c to be rewritten
for use on all platforms, although this patch doesn't do that, or even
provide all the int128 primitives that will be needed for it.
Back-patch as far as 9.4. Earlier releases did not guard against overflow
of interval values at all (commit 146604ec4 fixed that), so it seems not
very exciting to worry about overly-large intervals for them.
Before 9.6, we did not assume that unreferenced "static inline" functions
would not draw compiler warnings, so omit functions not directly referenced
by timestamp.c, the only present consumer of int128.h. (We could have
omitted these functions in HEAD too, but since they were written and
debugged on the way to the present patch, and they look likely to be needed
by numeric.c, let's keep them in HEAD.) I did not bother to try to prevent
such warnings in a --disable-integer-datetimes build, though.
Before 9.5, configure will never define HAVE_INT128, so the part of
int128.h that exploits a native int128 implementation is dead code in the
9.4 branch. I didn't bother to remove it, thinking that keeping the file
looking similar in different branches is more useful.
In HEAD only, add a simple test harness for int128.h in src/tools/.
In back branches, this does not change the float-timestamps code path.
That's not subject to the same kind of overflow risk, since it computes
the interval magnitude as float8. (No doubt, when this code was originally
written, overflow was disregarded for exactly that reason.) There is a
precision hazard instead :-(, but we'll avert our eyes from that question,
since no complaints have been reported and that code's deprecated anyway.

Commit 45be99f8cd5d606086e0a458c9c72910ba8a613d removed GatherPath's
num_workers field, but this is entirely bogus. Normally, a path's
parallel_workers flag is supposed to indicate the number of workers
that it wants, and should be 0 for a non-partial path. In that
commit, I mistakenly thought that GatherPath could also use that field
to indicate the number of workers that it would try to start, but
that's disastrous, because then it can propagate up to higher nodes in
the plan tree, which will then get incorrect rowcounts because the
parallel_workers flag is involved in computing those values. Repair
by putting the separate field back.

On EXEC_BACKEND builds, this can fail if ASLR is in use.
Backpatch to 9.5. On master, completely remove the bgw_main field
completely, since there is no situation in which it is safe for an

We were assigning values near 255 through "char *" pointers. On machines
where char is signed, that's not entirely kosher, and it's reasonable
for compilers to warn about it.
A better solution would be to change the pointer type to "unsigned char *",
but that would be vastly more invasive. For the moment, let's just apply
this simple backpatchable solution.

The compiler is entitled to store a char[] local variable with no
particular alignment requirement. Our RADIUS code cavalierly took such
a local variable and cast its address to a struct type that does have
alignment requirements. On an alignment-picky machine this would lead
to bus errors. To fix, declare the local variable honestly, and then
cast its address to char * for use in the I/O calls.
Given the lack of field complaints, there must be very few if any
people affected; but nonetheless this is a clear portability issue,
so back-patch to all supported branches.
Noted while looking at a Coverity complaint in the same code.

Windows apparently will not detect socket write-ready events unless a
preceding send attempt returned WSAEWOULDBLOCK. In many usage patterns
that's satisfied by the caller of WaitEvenSetWait(), but not always.
Apply the same solution that we already had in pgwin32_select(), namely to
perform a dummy WSASend() call with len=0. This will return WSAEWOULDBLOCK
if there's no buffer space (even though it could legitimately do nothing
and report success, which makes me a bit nervous about this solution;
but since it's been working fine in libpq, let's roll with it).
In passing, improve the comments about this in pgwin32_select(), and remove
duplicated code there.
Back-patch to 9.6 where WaitEventSetWait() was introduced. We might need
to back-patch something similar into predecessor code. But given the lack
of complaints so far, it's not clear that the case ever gets exercised
in the back branches, so I'm not going to expend effort on it right now.
