dc06734a72 Force the size and alignment of LWLock array entries to be either 16 or 32
bytes.  This shouldn't make any difference on x86 machines, where the size
happened to be 16 bytes anyway, but on 64-bit machines and machines with
slock_t int or wider, it will speed array indexing and hopefully reduce
SMP cache contention effects.  Per recent experimentation.

3b0453b24f Various documentation improvements. Add a lot of index entries for
the builtin functions (although some more entries are still needed),
and remove the duplicate index entries that have been causing
collateindex.pl warnings. Consistently use "int" and "bigint", rather
than a mix of "int", "integer", "int4", "bigint", and "int8". Make
parenthesis style in syntax examples more consistent. Various
copy-editing for newly-added documentation and SGML markup fixes.

f59b05c95d Ensure that any memory leaked during an error inside the bgwriter is
recovered.  I did not see any actual leak while testing this in CVS tip,
but 8.0 definitely has a problem with leaking the space temporarily
palloc'd by BufferSync().  In any case this seems a good idea to forestall
similar problems in future.  Per report from Arjen van der Meijden.

9813fc1bae Make the documentation of GUC variables a separate chapter, rather than
a section of the "Server Run-time Environment" chapter. Also, move the
SGML for the new chapter to a separate file and fix the resulting
fallout.

37a3ed6e40 Update manual's introduction to indexes to reflect 8.1 changes; in
particular the addition of bitmap scans and the relaxation of rules
about when multicolumn indexes can be used.  Also some minor editorial
work in other parts of the chapter.

cc3bda37f7 Tweak TCP-keepalive code so that an invalid setting doesn't cause us
to drop connections unceremoniously.  Also some other marginal cleanups:
don't query getsockopt() repeatedly if it fails, and avoid having the
apparent definition of struct Port depend on which system headers you
might have included or not.  Oliver Jowett and Tom Lane.

f7a5f90c46 Many small improvements and copy edits to the release notes. Use "—"
rather than "-" for the "dash" character. Correct SGML markup. Make
references to the names of contributors more consistent. Rewrite a bit
of prose, and make some other similar cleanups.

c7d1a8d428 Fix some corner-case bugs in _sendSQLLine's parsing of SQL commands
> found in a pg_dump archive.  It had problems with dollar-quote tags
broken across bufferload boundaries (this may explain bug report from
Rod Taylor), also with dollar-quote literals of the form $a$a$...,
and was also confused about the rules for backslash in double quoted
identifiers (ie, they're not special).  Also put in placeholder support
for E'...' literals --- this will need more work later.

e1a7d1b9f3 Avoid changing stdin/stdout to binary mode on Windows unless that is
really the source or destination of the archive.  I think this will
resolve recent complaints that password prompting is broken in pg_restore
on Windows.  Note that password prompting and reading from stdin is an
unworkable combination on Windows ... but that was true anyway.

35979e6c35 Given its current definition that depends on time(NULL), timetz_zone
is certainly no longer immutable, but must indeed be marked volatile.
I wonder if it should use the value of now() (that is, transaction
start time) so that it could be marked stable.  But it's probably not
important enough to be worth changing the code for ... indeed, I'm not
even going to force an initdb for this catalog change, seeing that we
just did one a few hours ago.

f2ebd01ef0 timestamptz_izone should return the input, not NULL, when the input
is a non-finite timestamp, for consistency with related functions.
In other words: +infinity rotated to a different timezone is still
+infinity.

a239af02c3 Fix the various forms of AT TIME ZONE to accept either timezones found
in the zic database or zone names found in the date token table.  This
preserves the old ability to do AT TIME ZONE 'PST' along with the new
ability to do AT TIME ZONE 'PST8PDT'.  Per gripe from Bricklen Anderson.
Also, fix some inconsistencies in usage of TZ_STRLEN_MAX --- the old
code had the potential for one-byte buffer overruns, though given
alignment considerations it's unlikely there was any real risk.

48123de717 Create the pg_pltemplate system catalog to hold template information
for procedural languages.  This replaces the hard-wired table I had
originally proposed as a stopgap solution.  For the moment, the initial
contents only include languages shipped with the core distribution.

e0dedd0559 Implement a preliminary 'template' facility for procedural languages,
as per my recent proposal.  For now the template data is hard-wired in
proclang.c --- this should be replaced later by a new shared system
catalog, but we don't want to force initdb during 8.1 beta.  This change
lets us cleanly load existing dump files even if they contain outright
wrong information about a PL's support functions, such as a wrong path
to the shared library or a missing validator function.  Also, we can
revert the recent kluges to make pg_dump dump PL support functions that
are stored in pg_catalog.
While at it, I removed the code in pg_regress that replaced $libdir
with a hardcoded path for temporary installations.  This is no longer
needed given our support for relocatable installations.

e35e6b1c37 Back out prior patch and instead just suppress SubqueryScan elimination
when there are extra resjunk columns in the child node.  I found some
additional cases involving Append nodes that weren't handled by the
prior patch, and it's not clear how to fix them in the same way without
breaking inheritance cases.  So the prudent path seems to be to narrow
the scope of the optimization.

03728942c2 For non-projecting plan node types such as Limit, set_plan_references
has to recopy the input plan node's targetlist if it removes a
SubqueryScan node just below the non-projecting node.  For simplicity
I made it recopy always.  Per bug report from Allan Wang and Michael Fuhr.

35e9b1cc1e Clean up a couple of ad-hoc computations of the maximum number of tuples
on a page, as suggested by ITAGAKI Takahiro.  Also, change a few places
that were using some other estimates of max-items-per-page to consistently
use MaxOffsetNumber.  This is conservatively large --- we could have used
the new MaxHeapTuplesPerPage macro, or a similar one for index tuples ---
but those places are simply declaring a fixed-size buffer and assuming it
will work, rather than actively testing for overrun.  It seems safer to
size these buffers in a way that can't overflow even if the page is
corrupt.
