af331e2526 Ensure that we only create one ConsoleCtrlHandler per psql process,
so as to avoid performance issues and possible ultimate crash on long
psql scripts.  Per Merlin Moncure.

081ed99b1e We haven't seen any agreement emerge as to what is causing AIX 5.3 ML3
to fail to successfully build the release candidates.

However, a patch has emerged (thanks, Seneca!) that does allow it to
work, and which I'd expect to be portable (better still!).

We are still actively pursuing why it breaks, but supposing that still
remains outstanding, at least the following would allow AIX users to
better survive a build...

c3d8de0907 Disregard superuserness when checking to see if a role GRANT would
create circularity of role memberships.  This is a minimum-impact fix
for the problem reported by Florian Pflug.  I thought about removing
the superuser_arg test from is_member_of_role() altogether, as it seems
redundant for many of the callers --- but not all, and it's way too late
in the 8.1 cycle to be making large changes.  Perhaps reconsider this
later.

03381695c6 Avoid referring to a specific version of the SQL standard except where
necessary, and be careful to refer to the right version where it is
useful to do so.  This partially reverts an ill-considered search and
replace from a few months ago.

fb30ac54e6 Thinking further, it seems we had better also copy down resorigtbl/resorigcol
to ensure that SubqueryScan elimination doesn't change the behavior of
reporting of original column sources.

abf293e155 Fix the recently-added code that eliminates unnecessary SubqueryScan nodes
from a finished plan tree.  We have to copy the output column names
(resname fields) from the SubqueryScan down to its child plan node;
else, if this is the topmost level of the plan, the wrong column names
will be delivered to the client.  Per bug #2017 reported by Jolly Chen.

902377c465 Rename the members of CommandDest enum so they don't collide with other uses of
those names.  (Debug and None were pretty bad names anyway.)  I hope I catched
all uses of the names in comments too.

99d48695d4 Fix longstanding race condition in transaction log management: there was a
very narrow window in which SimpleLruReadPage or SimpleLruWritePage could
think that I/O was needed when it wasn't (and indeed the buffer had already
been assigned to another page).  This would result in an Assert failure if
Asserts were enabled, and probably in silent data corruption if not.
Reported independently by Jim Nasby and Robert Creager.

I intend a more extensive fix when 8.2 development starts, but this is a
reasonably low-impact patch for the existing branches.

a037926295 Reorder code so that we don't have to hold a critical section while
reserving SLRU space for a new MultiXact.  The original coding would have
treated out-of-disk-space as a PANIC condition, which is unnecessary.

a7de22d8d5 Clean up AIX build to avoid 'duplicate symbol' warnings, by moving use
of postgres.imp file into BE_DLLLIBS macro.  This makes the AIX build
work more like the Windows and Darwin builds, which have similar requirements
to mention a backend library when linking shared libraries that will be
dynamically loaded into the backend.

1986ca5ce5 Fix race condition in multixact code: it's possible to try to read a
multixact's starting offset before the offset has been stored into the
SLRU file.  A simple fix would be to hold the MultiXactGenLock until the
offset has been stored, but that looks like a big concurrency hit.  Instead
rely on knowledge that unset offsets will be zero, and loop when we see
a zero.  This requires a little extra hacking to ensure that zero is never
a valid value for the offset.  Problem reported by Matteo Beccati, fix
ideas from Martijn van Oosterhout, Alvaro Herrera, and Tom Lane.

fbbe00242d Tweak buffer manager so that 'internal' accesses to a buffer do not
advance its usage_count.  This includes writes of dirty buffers triggered
by bgwriter, checkpoint, or FlushRelationBuffers, as well as various
corner cases that really ought not count as accesses to the page.
Should make for some marginal improvement in the quality of our decisions
about when to recycle buffers.  Per suggestion from ITAGAKI Takahiro.
