This function had a blacklist of dump object types that it believed
needed exclusive lock ... but we hadn't maintained that, so that it
was missing ROW SECURITY, POLICY, and INDEX ATTACH items, all of
which need (or should be treated as needing) exclusive lock.
Since the same oversight seems likely in future, let's reverse the
sense of the test so that the code has a whitelist of safe object
types; better to wrongly assume a command can't be run in parallel
than the opposite. Currently the only POST_DATA object type that's
safe is CREATE INDEX ... and that list hasn't changed in a long time.

Ensure the TOC entry is marked with the correct schema, so that its
name is as unique as the index's is.
Fix the dependencies: we want dependencies from this TOC entry to the
two indexes it depends on, and we don't care (at least not for this
purpose) what order the indexes are created in. Also, add dependencies
on the indexes' underlying tables. Those might seem pointless given
the index dependencies, but they are helpful to cue parallel restore
to avoid running the ATTACH PARTITION in parallel with other DDL on
the same tables.

Now that we have TAP tests, a contrib module may have something useful
to do in "make check" even if it has no pg_regress-style regression

regexp_matches, regexp_split_to_table and regexp_split_to_array all
work by compiling a list of match positions as character offsets (NOT
byte positions) in the source string.
Formerly, they then used text_substr to extract the matched text; but
in a multi-byte encoding, that counts the characters in the string,
and the characters needed to reach the starting byte position, on
every call. Accordingly, the performance degraded as the product of
the input string length and the number of match positions, such that
splitting a string of a few hundred kbytes could take many minutes.
Repair by keeping the wide-character copy of the input string
available (only in the case where encoding_max_length is not 1) after
performing the match operation, and extracting substrings from that
instead. This reduces the complexity to being linear in the number of
result bytes, discounting the actual regexp match itself (which is not
affected by this patch).
In passing, remove cleanup using retail pfree() which was obsoleted by

The source code was already set up for NLS support, so just a nls.mk
file needed to be added. Also, fix the old problem of putting the int64
format specifier right into the string, which breaks NLS.
The problem arises with the combination of CALL with output parameters
and doing a COMMIT inside the procedure. When a CALL has output
parameters, the portal uses the strategy PORTAL_UTIL_SELECT instead of
PORTAL_MULTI_QUERY. Using PORTAL_UTIL_SELECT causes the portal's
snapshot to be registered with the current resource
owner (portal->holdSnapshot); see
9ee1cf04ab6bcefe03a11837b53f29ca9dc24c7a for the reason.
Normally, PortalDrop() unregisters the snapshot. If not, then
ResourceOwnerRelease() will print a warning about a snapshot leak on
transaction commit. A transaction commit normally drops all
portals (PreCommit_Portals()), except the active portal. So in case of
the active portal, we need to manually release the snapshot to avoid the
warning.

The archive should show a dependency on the item's table, but it failed

The previous coding figured it'd be good enough to postpone opening
the first CSV log file until we got a message we needed to write there.
This is unsafe, though, because if the open fails we end up in infinite
recursion trying to report the failure. Instead make the CSV log file
management code look as nearly as possible like the longstanding logic
for the stderr log file. In particular, open it immediately at postmaster
startup (if enabled), or when we get a SIGHUP in which we find that
log_destination has been changed to enable CSV logging.
It seems OK to fail if a postmaster-start-time open attempt fails, as
we've long done for the stderr log file. But we can't die if we fail
to open a CSV log file during SIGHUP, so we're still left with a problem.
In that case, write any output meant for the CSV log file to the stderr
log file. (This will also cover race-condition cases in which backends
send CSV log data before or after we have the CSV log file open.)
This patch also fixes an ancient oversight that, if CSV logging was
turned off during a SIGHUP, we never actually closed the last CSV
log file.
In passing, remember to reset whereToSendOutput = DestNone during syslogger
start, since (unlike all other postmaster children) it's forked before the
postmaster has done that. This made for a platform-dependent difference
in error reporting behavior between the syslogger and other children:
except on Windows, it'd report problems to the original postmaster stderr
as well as the normal error log file(s). It's barely possible that that
was intentional at some point; but it doesn't seem likely to be desirable
in production, and the platform dependency definitely isn't desirable.

While we generally don't sweat too much about "may be used uninitialized"
warnings from older compilers, I noticed that there's a fair number of
buildfarm animals that are producing such a warning *only* for this
variable. So it seems worth silencing.
Commits c6b3c939b (which fixed the precedence of >=, <=, <> operators)
and 865f14a2d (which added support for the standard => notation for
named arguments) created a class of lexer tokens which look like
multi-character operators but which have their own token IDs distinct
from Op. However, longest-match rules meant that following any of
these tokens with another operator character, as in (1<>-1), would
cause them to be incorrectly returned as Op.
The error here isn't immediately obvious, because the parser would
usually still find the correct operator via the Op token, but there
were more subtle problems:
1. If immediately followed by a comment or +-, >= <= <> would be given
the old precedence of Op rather than the correct new precedence;
2. If followed by a comment, != would be returned as Op rather than as
NOT_EQUAL, causing it not to be found at all;
3. If followed by a comment or +-, the => token for named arguments
would be lexed as Op, causing the argument to be mis-parsed as a
simple expression, usually causing an error.
Fix by explicitly checking for the operators in the {operator} code
block in addition to all the existing special cases there.

The lexer's handling of operators contained an O(N^3) hazard when
dealing with long strings of + or - characters; it seems hard to
prevent this case from being O(N^2), but the additional N multiplier
was not needed.
Backpatch all the way since this has been there since 7.x, and it
presents at least a mild hazard in that trying to do Bind, PREPARE or
EXPLAIN on a hostile query could take excessive time (without
honouring cancels or timeouts) even if the query was never executed.
Historically, we looked up the target hostname in connectDBStart, so that
PQconnectPoll did not need to do DNS name resolution. The patches that
added multiple-target-host support to libpq preserved this division of
labor; but it's really nonsensical now, because it means that if any one
of the target hosts fails to resolve in DNS, the connection fails. That
negates the no-single-point-of-failure goal of the feature. Additionally,
DNS lookups aren't exactly cheap, but the code did them all even if the
first connection attempt succeeds.
Hence, rearrange so that PQconnectPoll does the lookups, and only looks
up a hostname when it's time to try that host. This does mean that
PQconnectPoll could block on a DNS lookup --- but if you wanted to avoid
that, you should be using hostaddr, as the documentation has always
specified. It seems fairly unlikely that any applications would really
care whether the lookup occurs inside PQconnectStart or PQconnectPoll.
In addition to calling out that fact explicitly, do some other minor
wordsmithing in the docs around the multiple-target-host feature.
Since this seems like a bug in the multiple-target-host feature,
backpatch to v10 where that was introduced. In the back branches,
avoid moving any existing fields of struct pg_conn, just in case
any third-party code is looking into that struct.

Previously, this code blindly followed the common coding pattern of
passing PQserverVersion(AH->connection) as the server-version parameter
of fmtQualifiedId. That works as long as we have a connection; but in
pg_restore with text output, we don't. Instead we got a zero from
PQserverVersion, which fmtQualifiedId interpreted as "server is too old to
have schemas", and so the name went unqualified. That still accidentally
managed to work in many cases, which is probably why this ancient bug went
undetected for so long. It only became obvious in the wake of the changes
to force dump/restore to execute with restricted search_path.
In HEAD/v11, let's deal with this by ripping out fmtQualifiedId's server-
version behavioral dependency, and just making it schema-qualify all the
time. We no longer support pg_dump from servers old enough to need the
ability to omit schema name, let alone restoring to them. (Also, the few
callers outside pg_dump already didn't work with pre-schema servers.)
In older branches, that's not an acceptable solution, so instead just
tweak the DISABLE/ENABLE TRIGGER logic to ensure it will schema-qualify
its output regardless of server version.

C99 says that the result should be the number of bytes that would have
been emitted given a large enough buffer, not the number we actually
were able to put in the buffer. It's time to make our substitute
implementation comply with that. Not doing so results in inefficiency
in buffer-enlargement cases, and also poses a portability hazard for
third-party code that might expect C99-compliant snprintf behavior
within Postgres.
In passing, remove useless tests for str == NULL; neither C99 nor
predecessor standards ever allowed that except when count == 0,
so I see no reason to expend cycles on making that a non-crash case
for this implementation. Also, don't waste a byte in pg_vfprintf's
local I/O buffer; this might have performance benefits by allowing
aligned writes during flushbuffer calls.
Back-patch of commit 805889d7d. There was some concern about this
possibly breaking code that assumes pre-C99 behavior, but there is
much more risk (and reality, in our own code) of code that assumes
C99 behavior and hence fails to detect buffer overrun without this.

We aren't very strict about keeping FSM up to date on WAL replay,
because per-page freespace values aren't critical in replicas (can't
write to heap in a replica; and if the replica is promoted, the values
would be updated by VACUUM anyway). However, VACUUM since 9.6 can skip
processing pages marked all-visible or all-frozen, and if such pages are
recorded in FSM with wrong values, those values are blindly propagated
to FSM's upper layers by VACUUM's FreeSpaceMapVacuum. (This rationale
assumes that crashes are not very frequent, because those would cause
outdated FSM to occur in the primary.)
Even when the FSM is outdated in standby, things are not too bad
normally, because, most per-page FSM values will be zero (other than
those propagated with the base-backup that created the standby); only
once the remaining free space is less than 0.2*BLCKSZ the per-page value
is maintained by WAL replay of heap ins/upd/del. However, if
wal_log_hints=on causes complete FSM pages to be propagated to a standby
via full-page images, many too-optimistic per-page values can end up
being registered in the standby.
Incorrect per-page values aren't critical in most cases, since an
inserter that is given a page that doesn't actually contain the claimed
free space will update FSM with the correct value, and retry until it
finds a usable page. However, if there are many such updates to do, an
inserter can spend a long time doing them before a usable page is found;
in a heavily trafficked insert-only table with many concurrent inserters
this has been observed to cause several second stalls, causing visible
application malfunction.
To fix this problem, it seems sufficient to have heap_xlog_visible
(replay of setting all-visible and all-frozen VM bits for a heap page)
update the FSM value for the page being processed. This fixes the
per-page counters together with making the page skippable to vacuum, so
when vacuum does FreeSpaceMapVacuum, the values propagated to FSM upper
layers are the correct ones, avoiding the problem.
While at it, apply the same fix to heap_xlog_clean (replay of tuple
removal by HOT pruning and vacuum). This makes any space freed by the
cleaning available earlier than the next vacuum in the promoted replica.
Backpatch to 9.6, where this problem was diagnosed on an insert-only
table with all-frozen pages, which were introduced as a concept in that
release. Theoretically it could apply with all-visible pages to older
branches, but there's been no report of that and it doesn't backpatch
cleanly anyway.

Fix a small number of places that were testing the result of snprintf()
but doing so incorrectly. The right test for buffer overrun, per C99,
is "result >= bufsize" not "result > bufsize". Some places were also
checking for failure with "result == -1", but the standard only says
that a negative value is delivered on failure.
(Note that this only makes these places correct if snprintf() delivers
C99-compliant results. But at least now these places are consistent
with all the other places where we assume that.)
Also, make psql_start_test() and isolation_start_test() check for
buffer overrun while constructing their shell commands. There seems
like a higher risk of overrun, with more severe consequences, here
than there is for the individual file paths that are made elsewhere
in the same functions, so this seemed like a worthwhile change.
Also fix guc.c's do_serialize() to initialize errno = 0 before
calling vsnprintf. In principle, this should be unnecessary because
vsnprintf should have set errno if it returns a failure indication ...
but the other two places this coding pattern is cribbed from don't
assume that, so let's be consistent.
These errors are all very old, so back-patch as appropriate. I think
that only the shell command overrun cases are even theoretically
reachable in practice, but there's not much point in erroneous error
checks.
