The planner seems to like to do this join query as a hash join, making
the output ordering machine-dependent; worse, it's a hash on OIDs, so
that it's a bit astonishing that the result doesn't change from run to
run even on one machine. Add an ORDER BY to get consistent results.
Per buildfarm.
I also suppressed output from the final DROP SCHEMA CASCADE, to avoid
occasional failures similar to those fixed in commit 81d815dc3e.
That hasn't been observed in the buildfarm yet, but it seems likely
to happen in future if we leave it as-is.
The functions are:
to_jsonb()
jsonb_object()
jsonb_build_object()
jsonb_build_array()
jsonb_agg()
jsonb_object_agg()
Also along the way some better logic is implemented in
json_categorize_type() to match that in the newly implemented
jsonb_categorize_type().

In commit 462bd95705, I changed postgres_fdw
to rely on get_plan_rowmark() instead of get_parse_rowmark(). I still
think that's a good idea in the long run, but as Etsuro Fujita pointed out,
it doesn't work today because planner.c forces PlanRowMarks to have
markType = ROW_MARK_COPY for all foreign tables. There's no urgent reason
to change this in the back branches, so let's just revert that part of
yesterday's commit rather than trying to design a better solution under
time pressure.
Also, add a regression test case showing what postgres_fdw does with FOR
UPDATE/SHARE. I'd blithely assumed there was one already, else I'd have
realized yesterday that this code didn't work.
The functions remove object fields, including in nested objects, that
have null as a value. In certain cases this can lead to considerably
smaller datums, with no loss of semantic information.

Ordinarily we can omit checking of a WHERE condition that matches a partial
index's condition, when we are using an indexscan on that partial index.
However, in SELECT FOR UPDATE we must include the "redundant" filter
condition in the plan so that it gets checked properly in an EvalPlanQual
recheck. The planner got this mostly right, but improperly omitted the
filter condition if the index in question was on an inheritance child
table. In READ COMMITTED mode, this could result in incorrectly returning
just-updated rows that no longer satisfy the filter condition.
The cause of the error is using get_parse_rowmark() when get_plan_rowmark()
is what should be used during planning. In 9.3 and up, also fix the same
mistake in contrib/postgres_fdw. It's currently harmless there (for lack
of inheritance support) but wrong is wrong, and the incorrect code might
get copied to someplace where it's more significant.
Report and fix by Kyotaro Horiguchi. Back-patch to all supported branches.
In READ COMMITTED mode, if a SELECT FOR UPDATE discovers it has to redo
WHERE-clause checking on rows that have been updated since the SELECT's
snapshot, it invokes EvalPlanQual processing to do that. If this first
occurs within a non-first child table of an inheritance tree, the previous
coding could accidentally re-return a matching row from an earlier,
already-scanned child table. (And, to add insult to injury, I think this
could make it miss returning a row that should have been returned, if the
updated row that this happens on should still have passed the WHERE qual.)
Per report from Kyotaro Horiguchi; the added isolation test is based on his
test case.
This has been broken for quite awhile, so back-patch to all supported
branches.
Ensure we reindex indexes built on Mat Views.
Based on patch from Micheal Paquier
Add thorough tests to check that indexes on
tables, toast tables and mat views are reindexed.

Aside from not testing the case it claimed to test (namely a permissions
failure), it left a login-capable role lying around, which quite aside
from possibly being a security hole would cause subsequent regression runs
to fail since the role would already exist.
In passing, also make some debugging elog's in pgstat.c a bit more
consistently worded.
Back-patch as far as applicable (9.3 or 9.4; none of these mistakes are
really old).
Mark Dilger identified and patched the type violations; the message
rewordings are mine.
The amount of space to reserve for the value's varlena header is
VARHDRSZ, not sizeof(VARHDRSZ). The latter coding accidentally
failed to fail because of the way the VARHDRSZ macro is currently
defined; but if we ever change it to return size_t (as one might
reasonably expect it to do), convertToJsonb() would have failed.
Spotted by Mark Dilger.
It's not run by the global "check" or "installcheck" targets, because the
temporary installation it creates accepts TCP connections from any user
the same host, which is insecure.
Previously REINDEX DATABASE and REINDEX SCHEMA
produced a stream of NOTICE messages. Removing that
since it is inconsistent for such a command to
produce output without a VERBOSE option.
PostgreSQL on Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012 will now
get high-resolution timestamps by dynamically loading the
GetSystemTimePreciseAsFileTime function. It'll fall back to
to GetSystemTimeAsFileTime if the higher precision variant
isn't found, so the same binaries without problems on older
Windows releases.
No attempt is made to detect the Windows version. Only the
presence or absence of the desired function is considered.
Craig Ringer
PostgreSQL was calling GetSystemTime followed by SystemTimeToFileTime in the
win32 port gettimeofday function. This is not necessary and limits the reported
precision to the 1ms granularity that the SYSTEMTIME struct can represent. By
using GetSystemTimeAsFileTime we avoid unnecessary conversions and capture
timestamps at 100ns granularity, which is then rounded to 1µs granularity for
storage in a PostgreSQL timestamp.
On most Windows systems this change will actually have no significant effect on
timestamp resolution as the system timer tick is typically between 1ms and 15ms
depending on what timer resolution currently running applications have
requested. You can check this with clockres.exe from sysinternals. Despite the
platform limiation this change still permits capture of finer timestamps where
the system is capable of producing them and it gets rid of an unnecessary
syscall.
The higher resolution GetSystemTimePreciseAsFileTime call available on Windows
8 and Windows Server 2012 has the same interface as GetSystemTimeAsFileTime, so
switching to GetSystemTimeAsFileTime makes it easier to use the Precise variant
later.

The "file mode" bits in the tar file header is not supposed to include the
file type bits, e.g. S_IFREG or S_IFDIR. The file type is stored in a
separate field. This isn't a problem in practice, all tar programs ignore
the extra bits, but let's be tidy.
This came up in a discussion around bug #11949, reported by Hendrik Grewe,
although this doesn't fix the issue with tar --append. That turned out to be
a bug in GNU tar. Schilly's tartest program revealed this defect in the tar
created by pg_basebackup.
This problem goes as far as we we've had pg_basebackup, but since this
hasn't caused any problems in practice, let's be conservative and fix in
master only.
It was an oversight in the original commit.
Also note in the sample config file that changing wal_log_hints requires a

PGXS computes srcdir from VPATH, PostgreSQL proper computes VPATH from
srcdir, and doing both results in an error from make. Conditionalize so
only one of these takes effect.
These changes were originally submitted as "adds support for VPATH with
USE_PGXS", but they are not necessary for VPATH support, so they just
add more lines of code for no reason.
dblink and postgres_fdw use SHLIB_PREREQS = submake-libpq to build libpq
first. This doesn't work in a PGXS build, because there is no libpq to
build. So just omit setting SHLIB_PREREQS in this case.
Note that PGXS users can still use SHLIB_PREREQS (although it is not
documented). The problem here is only that contrib modules can be built
in-tree or using PGXS, and the prerequisite is only applicable in the
former case.
Commit 6697aa2bc2 previously attempted to
address this by creating a somewhat fake submake-libpq target in
Makefile.global. That was not the right fix, and it was also done in a
nonportable way, so revert that.
Since this is not something that a user should change,
pg_config_manual.h was an inappropriate place for it.
In initdb.c, remove the use of the macro, because utils/guc.h can't be
included by non-backend code. But we hardcode all the other
configuration file names there, so this isn't a disaster.
Transactions can now set their commit timestamp directly as they commit,
or an external transaction commit timestamp can be fed from an outside
system using the new function TransactionTreeSetCommitTsData(). This
data is crash-safe, and truncated at Xid freeze point, same as pg_clog.
This module is disabled by default because it causes a performance hit,
but can be enabled in postgresql.conf requiring only a server restart.
A new test in src/test/modules is included.
Catalog version bumped due to the new subdirectory within PGDATA and a

check-world failed in a completely clean tree, because src/test/modules
fail to build unless errcodes.h is generated first. To fix this,
install a dependency in src/test/modules' Makefile so that the necessary
file is generated. Even with this, running "make check" within
individual module subdirs will still fail because the dependency is not
considered there, but this case is less interesting and would be messier
to fix.
check-world still failed with the above fix in place, this time because
dummy_seclabel used LOAD to load the dynamic library, which doesn't work
because the @libdir@ (expanded by the makefile) is expanded to the final
install path, not the temporary installation directory used by make
check. To fix, tweak things so that CREATE EXTENSION can be used
instead, which solves the problem because the library path is expanded
by the backend, which is aware of the true libdir.
Make the error messages issued by array_in() uniformly follow the style
ERROR: malformed array literal: "actual input string"
DETAIL: specific complaint here
and rewrite many of the specific complaints to be clearer.
The immediate motivation for doing this is a complaint from Josh Berkus
that json_to_record() produced an unintelligible error message when
dealing with an array item, because it tries to feed the JSON-format
array value to array_in(). Really it ought to be smart enough to
perform JSON-to-Postgres array conversion, but that's a future feature
not a bug fix. In the meantime, this change is something we agreed
we could back-patch into 9.4, and it should help de-confuse things a bit.
The logical decoding patchset introduced PROC_IN_LOGICAL_DECODING flag
PGXACT flag, that allows such backends to be skipped when computing
the xmin horizon/snapshots. That's fine and sensible for walsenders
streaming out logical changes, but not at all fine for SQL backends
doing logical decoding. If the latter set that flag any change they
have performed outside of logical decoding will not be regarded as
visible - which e.g. can lead to that change being vacuumed away.
Note that not setting the flag for SQL backends isn't particularly
bothersome - the SQL backend doesn't do streaming, so it only runs for
a limited amount of time.
Per buildfarm member 'tick' and Alvaro.
Backpatch to 9.4, where logical decoding was introduced.
