This allows transactions that take longer than specified limit to be counted
separately. With --rate, transactions that are already late by the time we
get to execute them are skipped altogether. Using --latency-limit with
--rate allows you to "catch up" more quickly, if there's a hickup in the
server causing a lot of transactions to stall momentarily.

If we expect batching at the very beginning, we size nbuckets for
"full work_mem" (see how many tuples we can get into work_mem,
while not breaking NTUP_PER_BUCKET threshold).
If we expect to be fine without batching, we start with the 'right'
nbuckets and track the optimal nbuckets as we go (without actually
resizing the hash table). Once we hit work_mem (considering the
optimal nbuckets value), we keep the value.
At the end of the first batch, we check whether (nbuckets !=
nbuckets_optimal) and resize the hash table if needed. Also, we
keep this value for all batches (it's OK because it assumes full
work_mem, and it makes the batchno evaluation trivial). So the
resize happens only once.
There could be cases where it would improve performance to allow
the NTUP_PER_BUCKET threshold to be exceeded to keep everything in
one batch rather than spilling to a second batch, but attempts to
generate such a case have so far been unsuccessful; that issue may
be addressed with a follow-on patch after further investigation.

When determining whether one JSONB object contains another, it's okay to
make a quick exit if the first object has fewer pairs than the second:
because we de-duplicate keys within objects, it is impossible that the
first object has all the keys the second does. However, the code was
applying this rule to JSONB arrays as well, where it does *not* hold
because arrays can contain duplicate entries. The test was really in
the wrong place anyway; we should do it within JsonbDeepContains, where
it can be applied to nested objects not only top-level ones.

Lc_collate and lc_ctype have been per-database settings since server version
8.4, but pg_upgrade was still treating them as cluster-wide options. It
fetched the values for the template0 databases in old and new cluster, and
compared them. That's backwards; the encoding and locale of the template0
database doesn't matter, as template0 is guaranteed to contain only ASCII
characters. But if there are any other databases that exist on both clusters
(in particular template1 and postgres databases), their encodings and
locales must be compatible.
Also, make the locale comparison more lenient. If the locale names are not
equal, try to canonicalize both of them by passing them to setlocale(). We
used to do that only when upgrading from 9.1 or below, but it seems like a
good idea even with newer versions. If we change the canonical form of a
locale, this allows pg_upgrade to still work. I'm about to do just that to
fix bug #11431, by mapping a locale name that contains non-ASCII characters
to a pure-ASCII alias of the same locale.
No backpatching, because earlier versions of pg_upgrade still support
upgrading from 8.3 servers. That would be more complicated, so it doesn't
seem worth it, given that we haven't received any complaints about this
from users.
The new header contains many prototypes for functions in ruleutils.c

shm_mq_sendv sends a message to the queue assembled from multiple
locations. This is expected to be used by forthcoming patches to
allow frontend/backend protocol messages to be sent via shm_mq, but
might be useful for other purposes as well.
shm_mq_set_handle associates a BackgroundWorkerHandle with an
already-existing shm_mq_handle. This solves a timing problem when
creating a shm_mq to communicate with a newly-launched background
worker: if you attach to the queue first, and the background worker
fails to start, you might block forever trying to do I/O on the queue;
but if you start the background worker first, but then die before
attaching to the queue, the background worrker might block forever
trying to do I/O on the queue. This lets you attach before starting
the worker (so that the worker is protected) and then associate the
BackgroundWorkerHandle later (so that you are also protected).

This clause changes the behavior of SELECT locking clauses in the
presence of locked rows: instead of causing a process to block waiting
for the locks held by other processes (or raise an error, with NOWAIT),
SKIP LOCKED makes the new reader skip over such rows. While this is not
appropriate behavior for general purposes, there are some cases in which
it is useful, such as queue-like tables.
Catalog version bumped because this patch changes the representation of

The code wrote a value into the caller's field[] array before checking
to see if there was room, which of course is backwards. Per report from
Michael Paquier.
I fixed the equivalent bug in the backend's version of this code way back
in 630684d3a1, but failed to think about ecpg's copy. Fortunately
this doesn't look like it would be exploitable for anything worse than a
core dump: an external attacker would have no control over the single word
that gets written.
CreateReplicationSlot() and DropReplicationSlot() were not cleaning up
the query buffer in some cases (mostly error conditions) which meant a
small leak. Not generally an issue as the error case would result in an
immediate exit, but not difficult to fix either and reduces the number
of false positives from code analyzers.
In passing, also add appropriate PQclear() calls to RunIdentifySystem().

pg_receivexlog already has the capability to use a replication slot to
reserve WAL on the upstream node. But the used slot currently has to
be created via SQL.
To allow using slots directly, without involving SQL, add
--create-slot and --drop-slot actions, analogous to the logical slot
manipulation support in pg_recvlogical.

A future patch (9.5 only) adds slot management to pg_receivexlog. The
verbs create/drop don't seem descriptive enough there. It seems better
to rename pg_recvlogical's commands now, in beta, than live with the
inconsistency forever.
The old form (e.g. --drop) will still be accepted by virtue of most
getopt_long() options accepting abbreviations for long commands.

Add entries for recent changes, including noting the JSONB format change
and the recent timezone data changes. We should remove those two items
before 9.4 final: the JSONB change will be of no interest in the long
run, and it's not normally our habit to mention timezone updates in
major-release notes. But it seems important to document them temporarily
for beta testers.
I failed to resist the temptation to wordsmith a couple of existing
entries, too.
Teach sigusr1_handler() to use the same test for whether a worker
might need to be started as ServerLoop(). Aside from being perhaps
a bit simpler, this prevents a potentially-unbounded delay when
starting a background worker. On some platforms, select() doesn't
return when interrupted by a signal, but is instead restarted,
including a reset of the timeout to the originally-requested value.
If signals arrive often enough, but no connection requests arrive,
sigusr1_handler() will be executed repeatedly, but the body of
ServerLoop() won't be reached. This change ensures that, even in
that case, background workers will eventually get launched.
This is far from a perfect fix; really, we need select() to return
control to ServerLoop() after an interrupt, either via the self-pipe
trick or some other mechanism. But that's going to require more
work and discussion, so let's do this for now to at least mitigate
the damage.

Most zones in the Russian Federation are subtracting one or two hours
as of 2014-10-26. Update the meanings of the abbreviations IRKT, KRAT,
MAGT, MSK, NOVT, OMST, SAKT, VLAT, YAKT, YEKT to match.
The IANA timezone database has adopted abbreviations of the form AxST/AxDT
for all Australian time zones, reflecting what they believe to be current
majority practice Down Under. These names do not conflict with usage
elsewhere (other than ACST for Acre Summer Time, which has been in disuse
since 1994). Accordingly, adopt these names into our "Default" timezone
abbreviation set. The "Australia" abbreviation set now contains only
CST,EAST,EST,SAST,SAT,WST, all of which are thought to be mostly historical
usage. Note that SAST has also been changed to be South Africa Standard
Time in the "Default" abbreviation set.
Add zone abbreviations SRET (Asia/Srednekolymsk) and XJT (Asia/Urumqi),
and use WSST/WSDT for western Samoa.
Also a DST law change in the Turks & Caicos Islands (America/Grand_Turk),
and numerous corrections for historical time zone data.
This updates known_abbrevs.txt to be what it should have been already,
were my -P patch not broken; and updates some tznames/ entries that
missed getting any love in previous timezone data updates because zic
failed to flag the change of abbreviation.
The non-cosmetic updates:
* Remove references to "ADT" as "Arabia Daylight Time", an abbreviation
that's been out of use since 2007; therefore, claiming there is a conflict
with "Atlantic Daylight Time" doesn't seem especially helpful. (We have
left obsolete entries in the files when they didn't conflict with anything,
but that seems like a different situation.)
* Fix entirely incorrect GMT offsets for CKT (Cook Islands), FJT, FJST
(Fiji); we didn't even have them on the proper side of the date line.
(Seems to have been aboriginal errors in our tznames data; there's no
evidence anything actually changed recently.)
* FKST (Falkland Islands Summer Time) is now used all year round, so
don't mark it as a DST abbreviation.
* Update SAKT (Sakhalin) to mean GMT+11 not GMT+10.
In cosmetic changes, I fixed a bunch of wrong (or at least obsolete)
claims about abbreviations not being present in the zic files, and
tried to be consistent about how obsolete abbreviations are labeled.
Note the underlying timezone/data files are still at release 2014e;
this is just trying to get us in sync with what those files actually
say before we go to the next update.
Peter G pointed out that valgrind was, rightfully, complaining about
CreatePolicy() ending up copying beyond the end of the parsed policy
name. Name is a fixed-size type and we need to use namein (through
DirectFunctionCall1()) to flush out the entire array before we pass
it down to heap_form_tuple.
Michael Paquier pointed out that pg_dump --verbose was missing a
newline and Fabrízio de Royes Mello further pointed out that the
schema was also missing from the messages, so fix those also.
Also, based on an off-list comment from Kevin, rework the psql \d
output to facilitate copy/pasting into a new CREATE or ALTER POLICY
command.
Lastly, improve the pg_policies view and update the documentation for
it, along with a few other minor doc corrections based on an off-list
discussion with Adam Brightwell.
The quick hack I added to zic to dump out currently-in-use timezone
abbreviations turns out to have a nasty bug: within each zone, it was
printing the last "struct ttinfo" to be *defined*, not necessarily the
last one in use. This was mainly a problem in zones that had changed the
meaning of their zone abbreviation (to another GMT offset value) and later
changed it back.
As a result of this error, we'd missed out updating the tznames/ files
for some jurisdictions that have changed their zone abbreviations since
the tznames/ files were originally created. I'll address the missing data
updates in a separate commit.
When there are cost-delay-related storage options set for a table,
trying to make that table participate in the autovacuum cost-limit
balancing algorithm produces undesirable results: instead of using the
configured values, the global values are always used,
as illustrated by Mark Kirkwood in
http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/52FACF15.8020507@catalyst.net.nz
Since the mechanism is already complicated, just disable it for those
cases rather than trying to make it cope. There are undesirable
side-effects from this too, namely that the total I/O impact on the
system will be higher whenever such tables are vacuumed. However, this
is seen as less harmful than slowing down vacuum, because that would
cause bloat to accumulate. Anyway, in the new system it is possible to
tweak options to get the precise behavior one wants, whereas with the
previous system one was simply hosed.
This has been broken forever, so backpatch to all supported branches.
This might affect systems where cost_limit and cost_delay have been set
for individual tables.
The page splitting code would go into infinite recursion if you try to
insert an index tuple that doesn't fit even on an empty page.
Per analysis and suggested fix by Andrew Gierth. Fixes bug #11555, reported
by Bryan Seitz (analysis happened over IRC). Backpatch to all supported
versions.
Testing by Amit Kapila, Andres Freund, and myself, with and without
other patches that also aim to improve scalability, seems to indicate
that this change is a significant win over the current value and over
smaller values such as 64. It's not clear how high we can push this
value before it starts to have negative side-effects elsewhere, but
going this far looks OK.
As of commit a87c72915 (which later got backpatched as far as 9.1),
we're explicitly supporting the notion that append relations can be
nested; this can occur when UNION ALL constructs are nested, or when
a UNION ALL contains a table with inheritance children.
Bug #11457 from Nelson Page, as well as an earlier report from Elvis
Pranskevichus, showed that there were still nasty bugs associated with such
cases: in particular the EquivalenceClass mechanism could try to generate
"join" clauses connecting an appendrel child to some grandparent appendrel,
which would result in assertion failures or bogus plans.
Upon investigation I concluded that all current callers of
find_childrel_appendrelinfo() need to be fixed to explicitly consider
multiple levels of parent appendrels. The most complex fix was in
processing of "broken" EquivalenceClasses, which are ECs for which we have
been unable to generate all the derived equality clauses we would like to
because of missing cross-type equality operators in the underlying btree
operator family. That code path is more or less entirely untested by
the regression tests to date, because no standard opfamilies have such
holes in them. So I wrote a new regression test script to try to exercise
it a bit, which turned out to be quite a worthwhile activity as it exposed
existing bugs in all supported branches.
The present patch is essentially the same as far back as 9.2, which is
where parameterized paths were introduced. In 9.0 and 9.1, we only need
to back-patch a small fragment of commit 5b7b5518d, which fixes failure to
propagate out the original WHERE clauses when a broken EC contains constant
members. (The regression test case results show that these older branches
are noticeably stupider than 9.2+ in terms of the quality of the plans
generated; but we don't really care about plan quality in such cases,
only that the plan not be outright wrong. A more invasive fix in the
older branches would not be a good idea anyway from a plan-stability
standpoint.)

I left the GUC in place for the beta period, so that people could experiment
