Replace the mapping tables used to convert between UTF-8 and other
character encodings with new radix tree-based maps. Looking up an entry in
a radix tree is much faster than a binary search in the old maps. As a
bonus, the radix tree representation is also more compact, making the
binaries slightly smaller.
The "combined" maps work the same as before, with binary search. They are
much smaller than the main tables, so it doesn't matter so much. However,
the "combined" maps are now stored in the same .map files as the main
tables. This seems more clear, since they're always used together, and
generated from the same source files.

This makes almost all core code follow the policy introduced in the
previous commit. Specific decisions:
- Text search support functions with char* and length arguments, such as
prsstart and lexize, may receive unaligned strings. I doubt
maintainers of non-core text search code will notice.
- Use plain VARDATA() on values detoasted or synthesized earlier in the
same function. Use VARDATA_ANY() on varlenas sourced outside the
function, even if they happen to always have four-byte headers. As an
exception, retain the universal practice of using VARDATA() on return
values of SendFunctionCall().
- Retain PG_GETARG_BYTEA_P() in pageinspect. (Page images are too large
for a one-byte header, so this misses no optimization.) Sites that do
not call get_page_from_raw() typically need the four-byte alignment.
- For now, do not change btree_gist. Its use of four-byte headers in
memory is partly entangled with storage of 4-byte headers inside
GBT_VARKEY, on disk.
- For now, do not change gtrgm_consistent() or gtrgm_distance(). They
incorporate the varlena header into a cache, and there are multiple
credible implementation strategies to consider.
When commit 3e23b68dac006e8deb0afa327e855258df8de064 introduced
single-byte varlena headers, its fmgr.h changes presented
PG_GETARG_TEXT_PP() and PG_GETARG_TEXT_P() as equals. Its postgres.h
changes presented PG_DETOAST_DATUM_PACKED() and VARDATA_ANY() as the
exceptional case. Now, instead, firmly recommend PG_GETARG_TEXT_PP()
over PG_GETARG_TEXT_P(); likewise for other ...PP() macros. This shaves
cycles and invites consistency of style.
Detect fclose() failures; given "ln -s /dev/full $PGDATA/devfull",
"pg_file_write('devfull', 'x', true)" now fails as it should. Don't
leak a stream when fwrite() fails. Remove a born-ineffective test that
aimed to skip zero-length writes. Back-patch to 9.2 (all supported
versions).
In functions that issue a deconstruct_array() call, consistently use
plain VARSIZE()/VARDATA() on the array elements. Prior practice was
divided between those and VARSIZE_ANY_EXHDR()/VARDATA_ANY().
This could only matter if the guessed_type variable had a value that wasn't
a member of the PasswordType enum; but just in case, let's be sure that
control falls out to reach the elog(ERROR) at the end of the function.
Per gripe from Coverity.
Coverity noted that the last line of gather_merge_getnext() was
unreachable, since each arm of the preceding "if" ends in a "return".
Drop it as an oversight. In passing, improve some nearby comments.
Upcoming patches are revamping expression evaluation significantly. It
therefore seems prudent to try to ensure that the coverage of the
existing evaluation code is high.
This commit adds coverage for the cases that can reasonably be
tested. There's still a bunch of unreachable error messages and such,
but otherwise this achieves nearly full regression test coverage (with
the exception of the unused GetAttributeByNum/GetAttributeByName).

When one of the kernel calls in the socket()/bind()/listen() sequence
fails, include the specific address we're trying to bind to in the log
message. This greatly eases debugging of network misconfigurations.
Also, after successfully setting up a listen socket, report its address
in the log, to ease verification that the expected addresses were bound.
There was some debate about whether to print this message at LOG level or
only DEBUG1, but the majority of votes were for the former.

There's no really good reason why the autovacuum launcher and logical
replication launcher should announce themselves at startup and shutdown
by default. Users don't care that those processes exist, and it's
inconsistent that those background processes announce themselves while
others don't. So, reduce those messages from LOG to DEBUG1 level.
I was sorely tempted to reduce the "starting logical replication worker
for subscription ..." message to DEBUG1 as well, but forebore for now.
Those processes might possibly be of direct interest to users, at least
until logical replication is a lot better shaken out than it is today.

This reverts commit ccce90b398673d55b0387b3de66639b1b30d451b. This
optimization is unsafe, at least, of rollbacks and rollbacks to
savepoints, but I'm concerned there may be other problematic cases as
well. Therefore, I've decided to revert this pending further
investigation.
Commits 89e0bac86 et al replaced newlines with spaces in object names
printed in SQL comments, but we neglected to consider that the same
names are also printed by "pg_restore -l", and a newline would render
the output unparseable by "pg_restore -L". Apply the same replacement
in "-l" output. Since "pg_restore -L" doesn't actually examine any
object names, only the dump ID field that starts each line, this is
enough to fix things for its purposes.
The previous fix was treated as a security issue, and we might have
done that here as well, except that the issue was reported publicly
to start with. Anyway it's hard to see how this could be exploited
for SQL injection; "pg_restore -L" doesn't do much with the file
except parse it for leading integers.
Per bug #14587 from Milos Urbanek. Back-patch to all supported versions.

Seven of the eight other relkind codes are lower-case, so it wasn't
consistent for this one to be upper-case. Fix it while we still can.
Historical notes: the reason for the lone exception, i.e. sequences being
'S', is that 's' was once used for "special" relations. Also, at one time
the partitioned-tables patch used both 'P' and 'p', but that got changed,
leaving only a surprising choice behind.
This also fixes a couple little bits of technical debt, such as
type_sanity.sql not knowing that 'm' is a legal value for relkind.

Although it's reasonable to expect that most of these constants will
never change, that does not make it good programming style to hard-code
the value rather than using the RELKIND_FOO macros.
I think I've now gotten all the hard-coded references in C code.
Unfortunately there's no equally convenient way to parameterize
SQL files ...

This is the beginning of a collection of SQL-callable functions to
verify the integrity of data files. For now it only contains code to
verify B-Tree indexes.
This adds two SQL-callable functions, validating B-Tree consistency to
a varying degree. Check the, extensive, docs for details.
The goal is to later extend the coverage of the module to further
access methods, possibly including the heap. Once checks for
additional access methods exist, we'll likely add some "dispatch"
functions that cover multiple access methods.

Although it's reasonable to expect that most of these constants will
never change, that does not make it good programming style to hard-code
the value rather than using the RELKIND_FOO macros. There were only
a few such violations, and all relatively new AFAICT.
Existing style is mostly to inject relkind values into constructed
query strings using %c. I did not bother to touch places that did it
like that, but really a better technique is to stringify the RELKIND
macro, at least in places where you'd want single quotes around the
code character. That avoids any runtime effort and keeps the RELKIND
symbol close to where it's used.

For some reason this standard C string-processing hack was buried in an
NLS-related section of c.h. Put it beside CppAsString() so that people
are more likely to find it and not be tempted to reinvent local copies,
as I nearly did. And provide a more helpful comment, too.
Commit 0e141c0fbb211bdd23783afa731e3eef95c9ad7a introduced a mechanism
to reduce contention on ProcArrayLock by having a single process clear
XIDs in the procArray on behalf of multiple processes, reducing the
need to hand the lock around. Use a similar mechanism to reduce
contention on CLogControlLock. Testing shows that this very
significantly reduces the amount of time waiting for CLogControlLock
on high-concurrency pgbench tests run on a large multi-socket
machines; whether that translates into a TPS improvement depends on
how much of that contention is simply shifted to some other lock,
particularly WALWriteLock.

The IANA timezone crew continues to chip away at their project of removing
timezone abbreviations that have no real-world currency from their
database. The tzdata2017a update removes all such abbreviations for
South American zones, as well as much of the Pacific. This breaks some
test cases in timestamptz.sql that were expecting America/Santiago and
America/Caracas to have non-numeric abbreviations.
The test cases involving America/Santiago seem to have selected that
zone more or less at random, so just replace it with America/New_York,
which is of similar longitude. The cases involving America/Caracas are
harder since they were chosen to test a time-varying zone abbreviation
around a point where it changed meaning in the backwards direction.
Fortunately, Europe/Moscow has a similar case in 2014, and the MSK/MSD
abbreviations are well enough attested that IANA seems unlikely to
decide to remove them from the database in future.
With these changes, this regression test should pass when using any IANA
zone database from 2015 or later. One could wish that there were a few
years more daylight on how out-of-date your zone database can be ... but
really the --with-system-tzdata option is only meant for use on platforms
where the zone database is kept up-to-date pretty faithfully, so I do not
think this is a big objection.

The contrib extensions pageinspect, pg_visibility and pgstattuple only
work against regular relations which have storage. They don't work
against foreign tables, partitioned (parent) tables, views, et al.
Add checks to the user-callable functions to return a useful error
message to the user if they mistakenly pass an invalid relation to a
function which doesn't accept that kind of relation.
In passing, improve some of the existing checks to use ereport() instead
of elog(), add a function to consolidate common checks where
appropriate, and add some regression tests.
