db714c62be Make has_sequence_privilege support WITH GRANT OPTION
The various has_*_privilege() functions all support an optional
WITH GRANT OPTION added to the supported privilege types to test
whether the privilege is held with grant option. That is, all except
has_sequence_privilege() variations. Fix that.

Back-patch to all supported branches.

1a14b763ef Replace raw timezone source data with IANA's new compact format.
Traditionally IANA has distributed their timezone data in pure source
form, replete with extensive historical comments.  As of release 2017c,
they've added a compact single-file format that omits comments and
abbreviates command keywords.  This form is way shorter than the pure
source, even before considering its allegedly better compressibility.
Hence, let's distribute the data in that form rather than pure source.

I'm pushing this now, rather than at the next timezone database update,
so that it's easy to confirm that this data file produces compiled zic
output that's identical to what we were getting before.

47226971e1 Avoid formally-undefined use of memcpy() in hstoreUniquePairs().
hstoreUniquePairs() often called memcpy with equal source and destination
pointers.  Although this is almost surely harmless in practice, it's
undefined according to the letter of the C standard.  Some versions of
valgrind will complain about it, and some versions of libc as well
(cf. commit ad520ec4a).  Tweak the code to avoid doing that.

Noted by Tomas Vondra.  Back-patch to all supported versions because
of the hazard of libc assertions.

ae6ed07841 Repair failure with SubPlans in multi-row VALUES lists.
When nodeValuesscan.c was written, it was impossible to have a SubPlan in
VALUES --- any sub-SELECT there would have to be uncorrelated and thereby
would produce an InitPlan instead.  We therefore took a shortcut in the
logic that throws away a ValuesScan's per-row expression evaluation data
structures.  This was broken by the introduction of LATERAL however; a
sub-SELECT containing a lateral reference produces a correlated SubPlan.

The cleanest fix for this would be to give up the optimization of
discarding the expression eval state.  But that still seems pretty
unappetizing for long VALUES lists.  It seems to work to just prevent
the subexpressions from hooking into the ValuesScan node's subPlan
list, so let's do that and see how well it works.  (If this breaks,
due to additional connections between the subexpressions and the outer
query structures, we might consider compromises like throwing away data
only for VALUES rows not containing SubPlans.)

Per bug #14924 from Christian Duta.  Back-patch to 9.3 where LATERAL
was introduced.

c703aa6258 Provide for forward compatibility with future minor protocol versions.
Previously, any attempt to request a 3.x protocol version other than
3.0 would lead to a hard connection failure, which made the minor
protocol version really no different from the major protocol version
and precluded gentle protocol version breaks.  Instead, when the
client requests a 3.x protocol version where x is greater than 0, send
the new NegotiateProtocolVersion message to convey that we support
only 3.0.  This makes it possible to introduce new minor protocol
versions without requiring a connection retry when the server is
older.

In addition, if the startup packet includes name/value pairs where
the name starts with "_pq_.", assume that those are protocol options,
not GUCs.  Include those we don't support (i.e. all of them, at
present) in the NegotiateProtocolVersion message so that the client
knows they were not understood.  This makes it possible for the
client to request previously-unsupported features without bumping
the protocol version at all; the client can tell from the server's
response whether the option was understood.

It will take some time before servers that support these new
facilities become common in the wild; to speed things up and make
things easier for a future 3.1 protocol version, back-patch to all
supported releases.

d4e38489f9 Prevent int128 from requiring more than MAXALIGN alignment.
Our initial work with int128 neglected alignment considerations, an
oversight that came back to bite us in bug #14897 from Vincent Lachenal.
It is unsurprising that int128 might have a 16-byte alignment requirement;
what's slightly more surprising is that even notoriously lax Intel chips
sometimes enforce that.

Raising MAXALIGN seems out of the question: the costs in wasted disk and
memory space would be significant, and there would also be an on-disk
compatibility break.  Nor does it seem very practical to try to allow some
data structures to have more-than-MAXALIGN alignment requirement, as we'd
have to push knowledge of that throughout various code that copies data
structures around.

The only way out of the box is to make type int128 conform to the system's
alignment assumptions.  Fortunately, gcc supports that via its
__attribute__(aligned()) pragma; and since we don't currently support
int128 on non-gcc-workalike compilers, we shouldn't be losing any platform
support this way.

Although we could have just done pg_attribute_aligned(MAXIMUM_ALIGNOF) and
called it a day, I did a little bit of extra work to make the code more
portable than that: it will also support int128 on compilers without
__attribute__(aligned()), if the native alignment of their 128-bit-int
type is no more than that of int64.

Add a regression test case that exercises the one known instance of the
problem, in parallel aggregation over a bigint column.

Back-patch of commit 751804998.  The code known to be affected only exists
in 9.6 and later, but we do have some stuff using int128 in 9.5, so patch
back to 9.5.

cfc157078f Rearrange c.h to create a "compiler characteristics" section.
Generalize section 1 to handle stuff that is principally about the
compiler (not libraries), such as attributes, and collect stuff there
that had been dropped into various other parts of c.h.  Also, push
all the gettext macros into section 8, so that section 0 is really
just inclusions rather than inclusions and random other stuff.

The primary goal here is to get pg_attribute_aligned() defined before
section 3, so that we can use it with int128.  But this seems like good
cleanup anyway.

This patch just moves macro definitions around, and shouldn't result
in any changes in generated code.

d7f59347bc Fix two violations of the ResourceOwnerEnlarge/Remember protocol.
The point of having separate ResourceOwnerEnlargeFoo and
ResourceOwnerRememberFoo functions is so that resource allocation
can happen in between.  Doing it in some other order is just wrong.

OpenTemporaryFile() did open(), enlarge, remember, which would leak the
open file if the enlarge step ran out of memory.  Because fd.c has its own
layer of resource-remembering, the consequences look like they'd be limited
to an intratransaction FD leak, but it's still not good.

IncrBufferRefCount() did enlarge, remember, incr-refcount, which would blow
up if the incr-refcount step ever failed.  It was safe enough when written,
but since the introduction of PrivateRefCountHash, I think the assumption
that no error could happen there is pretty shaky.

The odds of real problems from either bug are probably small, but still,

though disclosure of server memory contents seems possible as well, for a
skilled attacker capable of issuing crafted SQL commands.  Instead, use

"make install" does not install these scripts anywhere.  Users having
manually installed them in the past should repeat that process to
acquire this fix.  Most script users have $PGLOG writable to root only,
located in $PGDATA.  Just before updating one of these scripts, such
users should rename $PGLOG to $PGLOG.old.  The script will then recreate

43276abc6f Fix corner-case errors in brin_doupdate().
In some cases the BRIN code releases lock on an index page, and later
re-acquires lock and tries to check that the tuple it was working on is
still there.  That check was a couple bricks shy of a load.  It didn't
consider that the page might have turned into a "revmap" page.  (The
samepage code path doesn't call brin_getinsertbuffer(), so it isn't
protected by the checks for revmap status there.)  It also didn't check
whether the tuple offset was now off the end of the linepointer array.
Since commit 24992c6db the latter case is pretty common, but at least
in principle it could have occurred before that.  The net result is
that concurrent updates of a BRIN index could fail with errors like
"invalid index offnum" or "inconsistent range map".

Per report from Tomas Vondra.  Back-patch to 9.5, since this code is
substantially the same in all versions containing BRIN.

1f81c2cd52 Dept of second thoughts: keep aliasp_item in sync with tlistitem.
Commit d5b760ecb wasn't quite right, on second thought: if the
caller didn't ask for column names then it would happily emit
more Vars than if the caller did ask for column names.  This
is surely not a good idea.  Advance the aliasp_item whether or
not we're preparing a colnames list.

acd3287e43 Fix crash when columns have been added to the end of a view.
expandRTE() supposed that an RTE_SUBQUERY subquery must have exactly
as many non-junk tlist items as the RTE has column aliases for it.
This was true at the time the code was written, and is still true so
far as parse analysis is concerned --- but when the function is used
during planning, the subquery might have appeared through insertion
of a view that now has more columns than it did when the outer query
was parsed.  This results in a core dump if, for instance, we have
to expand a whole-row Var that references the subquery.

To avoid crashing, we can either stop expanding the RTE when we run
out of aliases, or invent new aliases for the added columns.  While
the latter might be more useful, the former is consistent with what
expandRTE() does for composite-returning functions in the RTE_FUNCTION
case, so it seems like we'd better do it that way.

Per bug #14876 from Samuel Horwitz.  This has been busted since commit
ff1ea2173 allowed views to acquire more columns, so back-patch to all
supported branches.

37fb01cb04 Rethink the dependencies recorded for FieldSelect/FieldStore nodes.
On closer investigation, commits f3ea3e3e8 et al were a few bricks
shy of a load.  What we need is not so much to lock down the result
type of a FieldSelect, as to lock down the existence of the column
it's trying to extract.  Otherwise, we can break it by dropping that
column.  The dependency on the result type is then held indirectly
through the column, and doesn't need to be recorded explicitly.

Out of paranoia, I left in the code to record a dependency on the
result type, but it's used only if we can't identify the pg_class OID
for the column.  That shouldn't ever happen right now, AFAICS, but
it seems possible that in future the input node could be marked as
being of type RECORD rather than some specific composite type.

Likewise for FieldStore.

Like the previous patch, back-patch to all supported branches.

1c715f1713 Doc: mention that you can't PREPARE TRANSACTION after NOTIFY.
The NOTIFY page said this already, but the PREPARE TRANSACTION page
missed it.

351d9b7d4e Improve gendef.pl diagnostic on failure to open sym file
There have been numerous buildfarm failures but the diagnostic is
currently silent about the reason for failure to open the file. Let's
see if we can get to the bottom of it.

Backpatch to all live branches.
