While pg_dump has included dependency information in archive-format output
ever since 7.3, it never made any large effort to ensure that that
information was actually useful. In particular, in common situations where
dependency chains include objects that aren't separately emitted in the
dump, the dependencies shown for objects that were emitted would reference
the dump IDs of these un-dumped objects, leaving no clue about which other
objects the visible objects indirectly depend on. So far, parallel
pg_restore has managed to avoid tripping over this misfeature, but only
by dint of some crude hacks like not trusting dependency information in
the pre-data section of the archive.
It seems prudent to do something about this before it rises up to bite us,
so instead of emitting the "raw" dependencies of each dumped object,
recursively search for its actual dependencies among the subset of objects
that are being dumped.
Back-patch to 9.2, since that code hasn't yet diverged materially from
HEAD. At some point we might need to back-patch further, but right now
there are no known cases where this is actively necessary. (The one known
case, bug #6699, is fixed in a different way by my previous patch.) Since
this patch depends on 9.2 changes that made TOC entries be marked before
output commences as to whether they'll be dumped, back-patching further
would require additional surgery; and as of now there's no evidence that
it's worth the risk.

As of 9.2, with the --section option, it is very important that the concept
of "pre data", "data", and "post data" sections of the output be honored
strictly; else a dump divided into separate sectional files might be
unrestorable. However, the dependency-sorting logic knew nothing of
sections and would happily select output orderings that didn't fit that
structure. Doing so was mostly harmless before 9.2, but now we need to be
sure it doesn't do that. To fix, create dummy objects representing the
section boundaries and add dependencies between them and all the normal
objects. (This might sound expensive but it seems to only add a percent or
two to pg_dump's runtime.)
This also fixes a problem introduced in 9.1 by the feature that allows
incomplete GROUP BY lists when a primary key is given in GROUP BY.
That means that views can depend on primary key constraints. Previously,
pg_dump would deal with that by simply emitting the primary key constraint
before the view definition (and hence before the data section of the
output). That's bad enough for simple serial restores, where creating an
index before the data is loaded works, but is undesirable for speed
reasons. But it could lead to outright failure of parallel restores, as
seen in bug #6699 from Joe Van Dyk. That happened because pg_restore would
switch into parallel mode as soon as it reached the constraint, and then
very possibly would try to emit the view definition before the primary key
was committed (as a consequence of another bug that causes the view not to
be correctly marked as depending on the constraint). Adding the section
boundary constraints forces the dependency-sorting code to break the view
into separate table and rule declarations, allowing the rule, and hence the
primary key constraint it depends on, to revert to their intended location
in the post-data section. This also somewhat accidentally works around the
bogus-dependency-marking problem, because the rule will be correctly shown
as depending on the constraint, so parallel pg_restore will now do the
right thing. (We will fix the bogus-dependency problem for real in a
separate patch, but that patch is not easily back-portable to 9.1, so the
fact that this patch is enough to dodge the only known symptom is
fortunate.)
Back-patch to 9.1, except for the hunk that adds verification that the
finished archive TOC list is in correct section order; the place where
it was convenient to add that doesn't exist in 9.1.

Repeated execution of an uncorrelated ARRAY_SUBLINK sub-select (which
I think can only happen if the sub-select is embedded in a larger,
correlated subquery) would leak memory for the duration of the query,
due to not reclaiming the array generated in the previous execution.
Per bug #6698 from Armando Miraglia. Diagnosis and fix idea by Heikki,
patch itself by me.
This has been like this all along, so back-patch to all supported versions.

some documented both, some documented nothing, and they were listed in

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.

Instead of identifying error locations only by line number (which could
be entirely unhelpful with long input lines), provide a fragment of the
input text too, placing this info in a new CONTEXT entry. Make the
error detail messages conform more closely to style guidelines, fix
failure to expose some of them for translation, ensure compiler can
check formats against supplied parameters.

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.

Aside from adjusting the documentation to say that these are deprecated,
we now report a warning (not an error) for use of GLOBAL, since it seems
fairly likely that we might change that to request SQL-spec-compliant temp
table behavior in the foreseeable future. Although our handling of LOCAL
is equally nonstandard, there is no evident interest in ever implementing
SQL modules, and furthermore some other products interpret LOCAL as
behaving the same way we do. So no expectation of change and no warning
for LOCAL; but it still seems a good idea to deprecate writing it.

The simplest way to handle this is just to copy-and-paste the relevant
code block in fork_process.c, so that's what I did. (It's possible that
something more complicated would be useful to packagers who want to work
with either the old or the new API; but at this point the number of such
people is rapidly approaching zero, so let's just get the minimal thing
done.) Update relevant documentation as well.

Commit aaa6e1def292cdacb6b27088898793b1b879fedf introduced multiple hazards
in the case where pg_ctl is executed with neither a -D switch nor any
PGDATA environment variable. It would dump core on machines which are
unforgiving about printf("%s", NULL), or failing that possibly give a
rather unhelpful complaint about being unable to execute "postgres -C",
rather than the logically prior complaint about not being told where the
data directory is.
Edmund Horner's report suggests that there is another, Windows-specific
hazard here, but I'm not the person to fix that; it would in any case only
be significant when trying to use a config-only PGDATA pointer.

getopt_long() allows abbreviating long options, so we might as well
give the option the full name, and users can abbreviate it how they
like.

This prevents a pg_basebackup backup session that just does a base
backup (no xlog involved at all) from becoming the synchronous slave
and thus blocking all access while it runs.
Also fixes the problem when a higher priority slave shows up it would
become the sync standby before it has reached the STREAMING state, by
making sure we can only switch to a walsender that's actually STREAMING.

This provides a speedup of about 4X when NBuffers is large enough.
There is also a useful reduction in sinval traffic, since we

DropRelFileNodeBuffers, DropDatabaseBuffers, FlushRelationBuffers, and
FlushDatabaseBuffers have to scan the whole shared_buffers pool because
we have no index structure that would find the target buffers any more
efficiently than that. This gets expensive with large NBuffers. We can
shave some cycles from these loops by prechecking to see if the current
buffer is interesting before we acquire the buffer header lock.
Ordinarily such a test would be unsafe, but in these cases it should be
safe because we are already assuming that the caller holds a lock that
prevents any new target pages from being loaded into the buffer pool
concurrently. Therefore, no buffer tag should be changing to a value of
interest, only away from a value of interest. So a false negative match
is impossible, while a false positive is safe because we'll recheck after
acquiring the buffer lock. Initial testing says that this speeds these
loops by a factor of 2X to 3X on common Intel hardware.

Heikki's); extended to the remaining sequential scans by Tom Lane

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.

This is currently only cosmetic, since all the call sites just curl up
and die in event of a failure return. It might be important for some
future use-case, though, and in any case it quiets warnings from the
clang static analyzer (as reported by Anna Zaks).

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 allow non-superusers to create procedural languages (with restrictions)
and range datatypes. Previously, the automatically-created support
functions for these objects ended up owned by the creating user. This
represents a rather considerable security hazard, because the owning user
might be able to alter a support function's definition in such a way as to
crash the server, inject trojan-horse SQL code, or even execute arbitrary
C code directly. It appears that right now the only actually exploitable
problem is the infinite-recursion bug fixed in the previous patch for
CVE-2012-2655. However, it's not hard to imagine that future additions of
more ALTER FUNCTION capability might unintentionally open up new hazards.
To forestall future problems, cause these support functions to be owned by
the bootstrap superuser, not the user creating the parent object.

It's not very sensible to set such attributes on a handler function;
but if one were to do so, fmgr.c went into infinite recursion because
it would call fmgr_security_definer instead of the handler function proper.
There is no way for fmgr_security_definer to know that it ought to call the
handler and not the original function referenced by the FmgrInfo's fn_oid,
so it tries to do the latter, causing the whole process to start over
again.
Ordinarily such misconfiguration of a procedural language's handler could
be written off as superuser error. However, because we allow non-superuser
database owners to create procedural languages and the handler for such a
language becomes owned by the database owner, it is possible for a database
owner to crash the backend, which ideally shouldn't be possible without
superuser privileges. In 9.2 and up we will adjust things so that the
handler functions are always owned by superusers, but in existing branches
this is a minor security fix.
Problem noted by Noah Misch (after several of us had failed to detect
it :-(). This is CVE-2012-2655.

We used to only allow offsets less than +/-13 hours, then it was +/14,
then it was +/-15. That's still not good enough though, as per today's bug
report from Patric Bechtel. This time I actually looked through the Olson
timezone database to find the largest offsets used anywhere. The winners
are Asia/Manila, at -15:56:00 until 1844, and America/Metlakatla, at
+15:13:42 until 1867. So we'd better allow offsets less than +/-16 hours.
Given the history, we are way overdue to have some greppable #define
symbols controlling this, so make some ... and also remove an obsolete
comment that didn't get fixed the last time.
Back-patch to all supported branches.
