6f96c539ed Fix old pg_dump oversight: default values for domains really need to be dumped
by decompiling the typdefaultbin expression, not just printing the typdefault
text which may be out-of-date or assume the wrong schema search path.  (It's
the same hazard as for adbin vs adsrc in column defaults.)  The catalogs.sgml
spec for pg_type implies that the correct procedure is to look to
typdefaultbin first and consider typdefault only if typdefaultbin is NULL.
I made dumping of both domains and base types do that, even though in the
current backend code typdefaultbin is always correct for domains and
typdefault for base types --- might as well try to future-proof it a little.
Per bug report from Alexander Galler.

797deb5092 Fix three Python reference leaks in PLy_traceback(). This would result
in leaking memory when invoking a PL/Python procedure that raises an
exception. Unfortunately this still leaks memory, but at least the
largest leak has been plugged.

This patch also fixes a reference counting mistake in PLy_modify_tuple()
for 8.0, 8.1 and HEAD: we don't actually own a reference to `platt', so
we shouldn't Py_DECREF() it.

3bd549ba0a Patch from Marko Kreen:
pgcrypto crypt()/md5 and hmac() leak memory when compiled against
OpenSSL as openssl.c digest ->reset will do two DigestInit calls
against a context.  This happened to work with OpenSSL 0.9.6
but not with 0.9.7+.

Reason for the messy code was that I tried to avoid creating
wrapper structure to transport algorithm info and tried to use
OpenSSL context for it.  The fix is to create wrapper structure.

It also uses newer digest API to avoid memory allocations
on reset with newer OpenSSLs.

Thanks to Daniel Blaisdell for reporting it.

4fc6585cb9 Move btbulkdelete's vacuum_delay_point() call to a place in the loop where
we are not holding a buffer content lock; where it was, InterruptHoldoffCount
is positive and so we'd not respond to cancel signals as intended.  Also
add missing vacuum_delay_point() call in btvacuumcleanup.  This should fix
complaint from Evgeny Gridasov about failure to respond to SIGINT/SIGTERM
in a timely fashion (bug #2257).

20334a9e86 Fix bug that allowed any logged-in user to SET ROLE to any other database user
id (CVE-2006-0553).  Also fix related bug in SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION that
allows unprivileged users to crash the server, if it has been compiled with
Asserts enabled.  The escalation-of-privilege risk exists only in 8.1.0-8.1.2.
However, the Assert-crash risk exists in all releases back to 7.3.
Thanks to Akio Ishida for reporting this problem.

Ok, so *that's* where the bit about the query plan being simple enough.
Based on that, ISTM that it should be premissable for us to decide that
a cursor requiring a sort isn't "simple enough" to support SCROLL.

In any case, here's a patch that makes the non-standard behavior easier
for people to find.

2d26c4be8e Change search for default operator classes so that it examines all opclasses
regardless of the current schema search path.  Since CREATE OPERATOR CLASS
only allows one default opclass per datatype regardless of schemas, this
should have minimal impact, and it fixes problems with failure to find a
desired opclass while restoring dump files.  Per discussion at
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2006-02/msg00284.php.
Remove now-redundant-or-unused code in typcache.c and namespace.c,
and backpatch as far as 8.0.

bc1c9adbda Set progname early in the postmaster/postgres binary, rather than doing
it later.  This fixes a problem where EXEC_BACKEND didn't have progname
set, causing a segfault if log_min_messages was set below debug2 and our
own snprintf.c was being used.

Also alway strdup() progname.

0ab9d3a3e1 When building a bitmap scan, must copy the bitmapqualorig expression tree
to avoid sharing substructure with the lower-level indexquals.  This is
currently only an issue if there are SubPlans in the indexquals, which is
uncommon but not impossible --- see bug #2218 reported by Nicholas Vinen.
We use the same kluge for indexqual vs indexqualorig in the index scans
themselves ... would be nice to clean this up someday.

2d98f46255 Fix code that checks to see if an index can be considered to match the query's
requested sort order.  It was assuming that build_index_pathkeys always
generates a pathkey per index column, which was not true if implied equality
deduction had determined that two index columns were effectively equated to
each other.  Simplest fix seems to be to install an option that causes
build_index_pathkeys to support this behavior as well as the original one.
Per report from Brian Hirt.

81dbda0792 Per a bug report from Theo Schlossnagle, plperl_return_next() leaks
memory in the executor's per-query memory context. It also inefficient:
it invokes get_call_result_type() and TupleDescGetAttInMetadata() for
every call to return_next, rather than invoking them once (per PL/Perl
function call) and memoizing the result.

This patch makes the following changes:

- refactor the code to include all the "per PL/Perl function call" data
inside a single struct, "current_call_data". This means we don't need to
save and restore N pointers for every recursive call into PL/Perl, we
can just save and restore one.

- lookup the return type metadata needed by plperl_return_next() once,
and then stash it in "current_call_data", so as to avoid doing the
lookup for every call to return_next.

- create a temporary memory context in which to evaluate the return
type's input functions. This memory context is reset for each call to
return_next.

The patch appears to fix the memory leak, and substantially reduces
the overhead imposed by return_next.

108a2e51c9 Fix display of whole-row Var appearing at the top level of a SELECT list.
While we normally prefer the notation "foo.*" for a whole-row Var, that does
not work at SELECT top level, because in that context the parser will assume
that what is wanted is to expand the "*" into a list of separate target
columns, yielding behavior different from a whole-row Var.  We have to emit
just "foo" instead in that context.  Per report from Sokolov Yura.

f31a58481c Remove unnecessary PQconsumeInput call from PQputCopyData; it's redundant
because pqSendSome will absorb input data anytime it'd be forced to block.
Avoiding a kernel call per PQputCopyData call helps COPY speed materially.

16582d3834 Repair longstanding bug in slru/clog logic: it is possible for two backends
to try to create a log segment file concurrently, but the code erroneously
specified O_EXCL to open(), resulting in a needless failure.  Before 7.4,
it was even a PANIC condition :-(.  Correct code is actually simpler than
what we had, because we can just say O_CREAT to start with and not need a
second open() call.  I believe this accounts for several recent reports of
hard-to-reproduce "could not create file ...: File exists" errors in both
pg_clog and pg_subtrans.
