When pulling a "postponed" qual from a LATERAL subquery up into the quals
of an outer join, we must make sure that the postponed qual is included
in those seen by make_outerjoininfo(). Otherwise we might compute a
too-small min_lefthand or min_righthand for the outer join, leading to
"JOIN qualification cannot refer to other relations" failures from
distribute_qual_to_rels. Subtler errors in the created plan seem possible,
too, if the extra qual would only affect join ordering constraints.
Per bug #9041 from David Leverton. Back-patch to 9.3.
New checks include input, month/day/time internal adjustments, addition,
subtraction, multiplication, and negation. Also adjust docs to
correctly specify interval size in bytes.
Report from Rok Kralj
Various places were supposing that errno could be expected to hold still
within an ereport() nest or similar contexts. This isn't true necessarily,
though in some cases it accidentally failed to fail depending on how the
compiler chanced to order the subexpressions. This class of thinko
explains recent reports of odd failures on clang-built versions, typically
missing or inappropriate HINT fields in messages.
Problem identified by Christian Kruse, who also submitted the patch this
commit is based on. (I fixed a few issues in his patch and found a couple
of additional places with the same disease.)
Back-patch as appropriate to all supported branches.
This doesn't work for prepared queries, but it's not too easy to get
the information in that case and there's some debate as to exactly
what the right thing to measure is, so just do this for now.
Andreas Karlsson, with slight doc changes by me.
We calculated the rounded-up size for the allocation, but then failed to
use the rounded-up value in the mmap() call. Oops.
Also, initialize allocsize, to silence warnings seen with some compilers,
as pointed out by Jeff Janes.
When skipping over some items in a posting tree, re-find the new location
by descending the tree from root, rather than walking the right links.
This can save a lot of I/O.
Heavily modified from Alexander Korotkov's fast scan patch.
If we're skipping past a certain TID, avoid decoding posting list segments
that only contain smaller TIDs.
Extracted from Alexander Korotkov's fast scan patch, heavily modified.
In a multi-key search, ie. something like "col @> 'foo' AND col @> 'bar'",
as soon as we find the next item that matches the first criteria, we don't
need to check the second criteria for TIDs smaller the first match. That
saves a lot of effort, especially if one of the terms is rare, while the
second occurs very frequently.
Based on ideas from Alexander Korotkov's fast scan patch.
This patch adds an option, huge_tlb_pages, which allows requesting the
shared memory segment to be allocated using huge pages, by using the
MAP_HUGETLB flag in mmap(). This can improve performance.
The default is 'try', which means that we will attempt using huge pages,
and fall back to non-huge pages if it doesn't work. Currently, only Linux
has MAP_HUGETLB. On other platforms, the default 'try' behaves the same as
'off'.
In the passing, don't try to round the mmap() size to a multiple of
pagesize. mmap() doesn't require that, and there's no particular reason for
PostgreSQL to do that either. When using MAP_HUGETLB, however, round the
request size up to nearest 2MB boundary. This is to work around a bug in
some Linux kernel versions, but also to avoid wasting memory, because the
kernel will round the size up anyway.

json_build_array() and json_build_object allow for the construction of
arbitrarily complex json trees. json_object() turns a one or two
dimensional array, or two separate arrays, into a json_object of
name/value pairs, similarly to the hstore() function.
json_object_agg() aggregates its two arguments into a single json object
as name value pairs.
Catalog version bumped.

Per the expanded comment-
As we're just trying to reset these to go to DEVNULL, there's not
much point in checking for failure from the close/dup2 calls here,
if they fail then presumably the file descriptors are closed and
any writes will go into the bitbucket anyway.

It's worth distinguishing these cases from run-of-the-mill wrong-password
problems, since users have been known to waste lots of time pursuing the
wrong theory about what's failing. Now, our longstanding policy about how
to report authentication failures is that we don't really want to tell the
*client* such things, since that might be giving information to a bad guy.
But there's nothing wrong with reporting the details to the postmaster log,
and indeed the comments in this area of the code contemplate that
interesting details should be so reported. We just weren't handling these
particular interesting cases usefully.
To fix, add infrastructure allowing subroutines of ClientAuthentication()
to return a string to be added to the errdetail_log field of the main
authentication-failed error report. We might later want to use this to
report other subcases of authentication failure the same way, but for the
moment I just dealt with password cases.
Per discussion of a patch from Josh Drake, though this is not what
he proposed.
This change allows us to eliminate the previous limit on stored query
length, and it makes the shared-memory hash table very much smaller,
allowing more statements to be tracked. (The default value of
pg_stat_statements.max is therefore increased from 1000 to 5000.)
In typical scenarios, the hash table can be large enough to hold all the
statements commonly issued by an application, so that there is little
"churn" in the set of tracked statements, and thus little need to do I/O
to the file.
To further reduce the need for I/O to the query-texts file, add a way
to retrieve all the columns of the pg_stat_statements view except for
the query text column. This is probably not of much interest for human
use but it could be exploited by programs, which will prefer using the
queryid anyway.
Ordinarily, we'd need to bump the extension version number for the latter
change. But since we already advanced pg_stat_statements' version number
from 1.1 to 1.2 in the 9.4 development cycle, it seems all right to just
redefine what 1.2 means.

This makes it possible to store lwlocks as part of some other data
structure in the main shared memory segment, or in a dynamic shared
memory segment. There is still a main LWLock array and this patch does
not move anything out of it, but it provides necessary infrastructure
for doing that in the future.
This change is likely to increase the size of LWLockPadded on some
platforms, especially 32-bit platforms where it was previously only
16 bytes.
Patch by me. Review by Andres Freund and KaiGai Kohei.
Fix integer overflow issue noted by Magnus Hagander, as well as a bunch
of other infelicities in commit ee1e5662d8
and its unreasonably large number of followups.
Move allocation to after we check the remote server version, to avoid
a possible, very minor, memory leak. This makes us more consistent
throughout as most places in pg_dump are done in the same way (due, in
part, to previous fixes like this).
Spotted by the Coverity scanner.
Consistently check the dup2() call results throughout syslogger.c.
It's pretty unlikely that they'll error out, but if they do,
ereport(FATAL) instead of blissfully continuing on.

From the Department of Nitpicking, be consistent with other escaping
and use 'E' instead of 'e' to escape the string in the example docs
for GET DISAGNOSTICS stack = PG_CONTEXT.
Noticed by Department Chief Magnus Hagander.
Mention that CREATE TABLE LIKE INCLUDING DEFAULTS creates a link between
the original and new tables if a default function modifies the database,
like nextval().
This allows ending recovery as a consistent state has been reached. Without
this, there was no easy way to e.g restore an online backup, without
replaying any extra WAL after the backup ended.

Per report from Jeffrey Walton, libpq has been accepting only TLSv1
exactly. Along the lines of the backend code, libpq will now support
new versions as OpenSSL adds them.

During parallel pg_dump, a worker process closing the connection caused
a minor memory leak (particularly minor as we are likely about to exit
anyway). Instead, free the memory in this case prior to returning NULL
to indicate connection closed.
Spotting by the Coverity scanner.
Back patch to 9.3 where this was introduced.
