09ac603c36 Work around unportable behavior of malloc(0) and realloc(NULL, 0).
On some platforms these functions return NULL, rather than the more common
practice of returning a pointer to a zero-sized block of memory.  Hack our
various wrapper functions to hide the difference by substituting a size
request of 1.  This is probably not so important for the callers, who
should never touch the block anyway if they asked for size 0 --- but it's
important for the wrapper functions themselves, which mistakenly treated
the NULL result as an out-of-memory failure.  This broke at least pg_dump
for the case of no user-defined aggregates, as per report from
Matthew Carrington.

Back-patch to 9.2 to fix the pg_dump issue.  Given the lack of previous
complaints, it seems likely that there is no live bug in previous releases,
even though some of these functions were in place before that.

a563d94180 Standardize naming of malloc/realloc/strdup wrapper functions.
We had a number of variants on the theme of "malloc or die", with the
majority named like "pg_malloc", but by no means all.  Standardize on the
names pg_malloc, pg_malloc0, pg_realloc, pg_strdup.  Get rid of pg_calloc
entirely in favor of using pg_malloc0.

This is an essentially cosmetic change, so no back-patch.  (I did find
a couple of places where psql and pg_dump were using plain malloc or
strdup instead of the pg_ versions, but they don't look significant
enough to bother back-patching.)

bb7520cc26 Make documentation of --help and --version options more consistent
Before, some places didn't document the short options (-? and -V),
some documented both, some documented nothing, and they were listed in
various orders.  Now this is hopefully more consistent and complete.

b9b8831ad6 Create a "relation mapping" infrastructure to support changing the relfilenodes
of shared or nailed system catalogs.  This has two key benefits:

* The new CLUSTER-based VACUUM FULL can be applied safely to all catalogs.

* We no longer have to use an unsafe reindex-in-place approach for reindexing
  shared catalogs.

CLUSTER on nailed catalogs now works too, although I left it disabled on
shared catalogs because the resulting pg_index.indisclustered update would
only be visible in one database.

Since reindexing shared system catalogs is now fully transactional and
crash-safe, the former special cases in REINDEX behavior have been removed;
shared catalogs are treated the same as non-shared.

This commit does not do anything about the recently-discussed problem of
deadlocks between VACUUM FULL/CLUSTER on a system catalog and other
concurrent queries; will address that in a separate patch.  As a stopgap,
parallel_schedule has been tweaked to run vacuum.sql by itself, to avoid
such failures during the regression tests.

4192f2d85a Remove the -P options of oid2name and pgbench, as they are security
hazards.  Instead teach these programs to prompt for a password when
necessary, just like all our other programs.
I did not bother to invent -W switches for them, since the return on
investment seems so low.

82eed4dba2 Arrange to put TOAST tables belonging to temporary tables into special schemas
named pg_toast_temp_nnn, alongside the pg_temp_nnn schemas used for the temp
tables themselves.  This allows low-level code such as the relcache to
recognize that these tables are indeed temporary, which enables various
optimizations such as not WAL-logging changes and using local rather than
shared buffers for access.  Aside from obvious performance benefits, this
provides a solution to bug #3483, in which other backends unexpectedly held
open file references to temporary tables.  The scheme preserves the property
that TOAST tables are not in any schema that's normally in the search path,
so they don't conflict with user table names.

initdb forced because of changes in system view definitions.

6f7fc0bade Cause initdb to create a third standard database "postgres", which
unlike template0 and template1 does not have any special status in
terms of backend functionality.  However, all external utilities such
as createuser and createdb now connect to "postgres" instead of
template1, and the documentation is changed to encourage people to use
"postgres" instead of template1 as a play area.  This should fix some
longstanding gotchas involving unexpected propagation of database
objects by createdb (when you used template1 without understanding
the implications), as well as ameliorating the problem that CREATE
DATABASE is unhappy if anyone else is connected to template1.
Patch by Dave Page, minor editing by Tom Lane.  All per recent
pghackers discussions.

98e8b48053 Create 'default_tablespace' GUC variable that supplies a TABLESPACE
clause implicitly whenever one is not given explicitly.  Remove concept
of a schema having an associated tablespace, and simplify the rules for
selecting a default tablespace for a table or index.  It's now just
(a) explicit TABLESPACE clause; (b) default_tablespace if that's not an
empty string; (c) database's default.  This will allow pg_dump to use
SET commands instead of tablespace clauses to determine object locations
(but I didn't actually make it do so).  All per recent discussions.

524cfad23f Here is 4 file in tgz:
the new timetravel.c,
new timetravel.README (cut from spi/README and modified),
modified timetravel.sql.in
and modified timetravel.example.

Features:
- optionally 3 parameter for insert/update/delete user name

- work with CREATE UNIQUE INDEX ixxx on table xxx
(unique_field,time_off);
    (the  original version was work with unique index on 6.5.0-6.5.3,
and not work on 7.3.2,7.3.3)
     (before 6.5.0 and between 6.5.3 and 7.3.2 I dont know)

- get_timetravel(tablename) function for check timetravel-status.

- timetravel trigger not change  oid of the active record. (it is not a
good feature, because the  old version is automatice prevent the paralel
update with "where oid=nnn")

66eb8df6a4 The attached patch changes most of the usages of sprintf() to
snprintf() in contrib/. I didn't touch the places where pointer
arithmatic was being used, or other areas where the fix wasn't
trivial. I would think that few, if any, of the usages of sprintf()
were actually exploitable, but it's probably better to be paranoid...

66cd6a0fb2 Currently, contrib/oid2name doesn't bother to free() the memory that it
malloc()'s. This isn't too serious (because oid2name is a short-lived
utility, so the memory will soon be returned to the OS on process
termination), but I still think it's poor style.

This patch changes oid2name so that it allocates memory on the stack
where possible and free()s the remaining heap-allocated memory. The
patch also fixes a typo a comment and adds 'const' qualifiers to a few
'char *' function parameters.
