Drop the role we create, so regression tests pass even when run more
than once against the same cluster, a problem noted by Tom Lane and
Jeff Janes. Also, rename the temporary role so that it starts with
"regress_", to make it unlikely that we'll collide with an existing
role name while running "make installcheck", per further gripe from
Tom Lane.
We log AccessExclusiveLocks for replay onto standby nodes,
but because of timing issues on ProcArray it is possible to
log a lock that is still held by a just committed transaction
that is very soon to be removed. To avoid any timing issue we
avoid applying locks made by transactions with InvalidXid.

This separates the state (running/idle/idleintransaction etc) into
it's own field ("state"), and leaves the query field containing just
query text.
The query text will now mean "current query" when a query is running
and "last query" in other states. Accordingly,the field has been
renamed from current_query to query.
Since backwards compatibility was broken anyway to make that, the procpid
field has also been renamed to pid - along with the same field in
pg_stat_replication for consistency.

That avoids errors when the functions are used in queries like "SELECT
pg_relation_size(oid) FROM pg_class", and a table is dropped concurrently.

When the only remaining active transactions are READ ONLY, we do a "partial
cleanup" of committed transactions because certain types of conflicts
aren't possible anymore. For committed r/w transactions, we release the
SIREAD locks but keep the SERIALIZABLEXACT. However, for committed r/o
transactions, we can go further and release the SERIALIZABLEXACT too. The
problem was with the latter case: we were returning the SERIALIZABLEXACT to
the free list without removing it from the finished list.
The only real change in the patch is the SHMQueueDelete line, but I also
reworked some of the surrounding code to make it obvious that r/o and r/w
transactions are handled differently -- the existing code felt a bit too
clever.

This prevents the postmaster from unexpectedly croaking if postgresql.conf
contains something like:

When creating a child table, or when attaching an existing table as
child of another, we must not allow inheritable constraints to be
merged with non-inheritable ones, because then grandchildren would not
properly get the constraint. This would violate the grandparent's
expectations.

In the previous coding, it was possible for a relation to be created
via CREATE TABLE, CREATE VIEW, CREATE SEQUENCE, CREATE FOREIGN TABLE,
etc. in a schema while that schema was meanwhile being concurrently
dropped. This led to a pg_class entry with an invalid relnamespace
value. The same problem could occur if a relation was moved using
ALTER .. SET SCHEMA while the target schema was being concurrently
dropped. This patch prevents both of those scenarios by locking the
schema to which the relation is being added using AccessShareLock,
which conflicts with the AccessExclusiveLock taken by DROP.
As a desirable side effect, this also prevents the use of CREATE OR
REPLACE VIEW to queue for an AccessExclusiveLock on a relation on which
you have no rights: that will now fail immediately with a permissions
error, before trying to obtain a lock.
We need similar protection for all other object types, but as everything
other than relations uses a slightly different set of code paths, I'm
leaving that for a separate commit.
Original complaint (as far as I could find) about CREATE by Nikhil
Sontakke; risk for ALTER .. SET SCHEMA pointed out by Tom Lane;
further details by Dan Farina; patch by me; review by Hitoshi Harada.
When the remote end of the pipe is closed, select() reports the fd as
readable, but poll() has a separate POLLHUP return code for that.
Spotted by Peter Geoghegan.
Allows a user to use pg_cancel_queries() to cancel queries in
other backends if they are running under the same role.
pg_terminate_backend() still requires superuser permissoins.
Short patch, many authors working on the bikeshed: Magnus Hagander,
Josh Kupershmidt, Edward Muller, Greg Smith.
isolationtester is now able to continue running other permutations when
it detects that one of them is invalid, which is useful during initial
development of spec files.

superuser doesn't have doesn't make much sense, as a superuser can do
whatever he wants through other means, anyway. So instead of granting
replication privilege to superusers in CREATE USER time by default, allow
replication connection from superusers whether or not they have the
replication privilege.
Patch by Noah Misch, per discussion on bug report #6264
As noted by Tom Lane, the previous coding in this area, which I
introduced in commit bbb6e559c4, was
poorly tested and caused the vacuum's second heap to go into what would
have been an infinite loop but for the fact that it eventually caused a
memory allocation failure. This version seems to work better.
Previously we used ReadRecPtr rather than EndRecPtr, which was
not a serious error but caused pg_stat_replication to report
incorrect replay_location until at least one WAL record is replayed.

In commit 7b0d0e9356, I made CLUSTER and
VACUUM FULL try to preserve toast value OIDs from the original toast table
to the new one. However, if we have to copy both live and recently-dead
versions of a row that has a toasted column, those versions may well
reference the same toast value with the same OID. The patch then led to
duplicate-key failures as we tried to insert the toast value twice with the
same OID. (The previous behavior was not very desirable either, since it
would have silently inserted the same value twice with different OIDs.
That wastes space, but what's worse is that the toast values inserted for
already-dead heap rows would not be reclaimed by subsequent ordinary
VACUUMs, since they go into the new toast table marked live not deleted.)
To fix, check if the copied OID already exists in the new toast table, and
if so, assume that it stores the desired value. This is reasonably safe
since the only case where we will copy an OID from a previous toast pointer
is when toast_insert_or_update was given that toast pointer and so we just
pulled the data from the old table; if we got two different values that way
then we have big problems anyway. We do have to assume that no other
backend is inserting items into the new toast table concurrently, but
that's surely safe for CLUSTER and VACUUM FULL.
Per bug #6393 from Maxim Boguk. Back-patch to 9.0, same as the previous
patch.
The originally-chosen test case gives different results in es_EC locale
because of unusual rule for sorting strings beginning with "LL". Adjust
the comparison value to avoid that, while hopefully not introducing new
locale dependencies elsewhere. Per report from Jaime Casanova.
A permutation that specifies more steps than defined causes
isolationtester to crash, so avoid that. Using less steps than defined
should probably not be a problem, but no spec currently does that.
constructed before acquiring WALInsertLock, which slightly reduces the time
the lock is held. Although I could not measure any benefit in benchmarks,
the code is more readable this way.
The original coding examined the next character before verifying that
there *is* a next character. In the worst case with the input buffer
right up against the end of memory, this would result in a segfault.
Problem spotted by Paul Guyot; this commit extends his patch to fix an
additional case. In addition, make the code a tad more readable by not
overloading the usage of *tlen.
Point out in the compatibility section that granting grant options to
PUBLIC is not supported by PostgreSQL. This is already mentioned
earlier, but since it concerns the information schema, it might be
worth pointing out explicitly as a compatibility issue.
Teach pg_basebackup in streaming mode to deal with keepalive messages.
Also change the order of checks to complain at the message rather than
block size when a new message is introduced.
In passing, switch to using sizeof() instead of hardcoded sizes for
WAL protocol structs.
