The comment did not match what the code actually did for integers with
the 43rd bit set. You get an integer like that, if you have a posting
list with two adjacent TIDs that are more than 2^31 blocks apart.
According to the comment, we would store that in 6 bytes, with no
continuation bit on the 6th byte, but in reality, the code encodes it
using 7 bytes, with a continuation bit on the 6th byte as normal.
The decoding routine also handled these 7-byte integers correctly, except
for an overflow check that assumed that one integer needs at most 6 bytes.
Fix the overflow check, and fix the comment to match what the code
actually does. Also fix the comment that claimed that there are 17 unused
bits in the 64-bit representation of an item pointer. In reality, there
are 64-32-11=21.
Fitting any item pointer into max 6 bytes was an important property when
this was written, because in the old pre-9.4 format, item pointers were
stored as plain arrays, with 6 bytes for every item pointer. The maximum
of 6 bytes per integer in the new format guaranteed that we could convert
any page from the old format to the new format after upgrade, so that the
new format was never larger than the old format. But we hardly need to
worry about that anymore, and running into that problem during upgrade,
where an item pointer is expanded from 6 to 7 bytes such that the data
doesn't fit on a page anymore, is implausible in practice anyway.
Backpatch to all supported versions.
This also includes a little test module to test these large distances
between item pointers, without requiring a 16 TB table. It is not
backpatched, I'm including it more for the benefit of future development
of new posting list formats.

RelationAllowsEarlyPruning() performed a catalog scan, but is used
in two contexts where that was a bad idea:
1. In heap_page_prune_opt(), which runs very frequently in some large
scans. This caused major performance problems in a field report
that was easy to reproduce.
2. In TestForOldSnapshot(), which runs while we hold a buffer content
lock. It's not clear if this was guaranteed to be free of buffer
deadlock risk.
The check was introduced in commit 2cc41acd8 and defended against a
real problem: 9.6's hash indexes have no page LSN and so we can't
allow early pruning (ie the snapshot-too-old feature). We can remove
the check from all later releases though: hash indexes are now logged,
and there is no way to create UNLOGGED indexes on regular logged
tables.
If a future release allows such a combination, it might need to put
a similar check in place, but it'll need some more thought.

In this case, the transfer uses a libpq connection, which is subject to
the timeout parameters set at system level, and this can make the rewind
operation suddenly canceled which is not good for automation. One
workaround to such issues would be to use PGOPTIONS to enforce the
wanted timeout parameters, but that's annoying, and for example pg_dump,
which can run potentially long-running queries disables all types of
timeouts.
lock_timeout and statement_timeout are the ones which can cause problems
now. Note that pg_rewind does not use transactions, so disabling
idle_in_transaction_session_timeout is optional, but it feels safer to
do so for the future.

An empty file name or subdirectory name leads join_path_components() to
just produce the parent directory name, which leads to weird failures or
recursive inclusions. Let's throw a specific error for that. It takes
only slightly more code to detect all-blank names, so do so.
Also, detect direct recursion, ie a file calling itself. As coded
this will also detect recursion via "include_dir '.'", which is
perhaps more likely than explicitly including the file itself.
Detecting indirect recursion would require API changes for guc-file.l
functions, which seems not worth it since extensions might call them.
The nesting depth limit will catch such cases eventually, just not
with such an on-point error message.
In passing, adjust the example usages in postgresql.conf.sample
to perhaps eliminate the problem at the source: there's no reason
for the examples to suggest that an empty value is valid.

If a table inherits from multiple unrelated parents, we must disallow
changing the type of a column inherited from multiple such parents, else
it would be out of step with the other parents. However, it's possible
for the column to ultimately be inherited from just one common ancestor,
in which case a change starting from that ancestor should still be
allowed. (I would not be excited about preserving that option, were
it not that we have regression test cases exercising it already ...)
It's slightly annoying that this patch looks different from the logic
with the same end goal in renameatt(), and more annoying that it
requires an extra syscache lookup to make the test. However, the
recursion logic is quite different in the two functions, and a
back-patched bug fix is no place to be trying to unify them.

In addition to fixing the code, extend the test case added by

ALTER SYSTEM itself normally won't make duplicate entries (although
up till this patch, it was possible to confuse it by writing case
variants of a GUC's name). However, if some external tool has appended
entries to the file, that could result in duplicate entries for a single
GUC name. In such a situation, ALTER SYSTEM did exactly the wrong thing,
because it replaced or removed only the first matching entry, leaving
the later one(s) still there and hence still determining the active value.
This patch fixes that by making ALTER SYSTEM sweep through the file and
remove all matching entries, then (if not ALTER SYSTEM RESET) append the
new setting to the end. This means entries will be in order of last
setting rather than first setting, but that shouldn't hurt anything.
Also, make the comparisons case-insensitive so that the right things

This test case could fail because of an incorrect result ordering when

culprit query. The cause of the failure was likely caused by a plan

or an index scan, but even a small change in the startup cost could have
caused a bitmap heap scan to be chosen, causing the failure.
While on it, switch some filtering quals to a regular expression as per

selected any relations whose name begins with "temp". And that could

contrib/intarray considers "arraycol <@ constant-array" to be indexable,
but its GiST opclass code fails to reliably find index entries for empty
array values (which of course should trivially match such queries).
This is because the test condition to see whether we should descend
through a non-leaf node is wrong.
Unfortunately, empty array entries could be anywhere in the index,
as these index opclasses are currently designed. So there's no way
to fix this except by lobotomizing <@ indexscans to scan the whole
index ... which is what this patch does. That's pretty unfortunate:
the performance is now actually worse than a seqscan, in most cases.
We'd be better off to remove <@ from the GiST opclasses entirely,
and perhaps a future non-back-patchable patch will do so.
In the meantime, applications whose performance is adversely impacted
have a couple of options. They could switch to a GIN index, which
doesn't have this bug, or they could replace "arraycol <@ constant-array"
with "arraycol <@ constant-array AND arraycol && constant-array".
That will provide about the same performance as before, and it will find
all non-empty subsets of the given constant-array, which is all that
could reliably be expected of the query before.
While at it, add some more regression test cases to improve code
coverage of contrib/intarray.
In passing, adjust resize_intArrayType so that when it's returning an
empty array, it uses construct_empty_array for that rather than
cowboy hacking on the input array. While the hack produces an array
that looks valid for most purposes, it isn't bitwise equal to empty
arrays produced by other code paths, which could have subtle odd
effects. I don't think this code path is performance-critical
enough to justify such shortcuts. (Back-patch this part only as far
as v11; before commit 01783ac36 we were not careful about this in

Since pg_dump doesn't treat the member operators and functions of operator
classes/families (that is, the pg_amop and pg_amproc entries, not the
underlying operators/functions) as separate dumpable objects, it missed
their dependency information. I think this was safe when the code was
designed, because the default object sorting rule emits operators and
functions before opclasses, and there were no dependency types that could
mess that up. However, the introduction of range types in 9.2 broke it:
now a type can have a dependency on an opclass, allowing dependency rules
to push the opclass before the type and hence before custom operators.
Lacking any information showing that it shouldn't do so, pg_dump emitted
the objects in the wrong order.
Fix by teaching getDependencies() to translate pg_depend entries for
pg_amop/amproc rows to look like dependencies for their parent opfamily.

When performing ANALYZE on inheritance trees, we collect two samples for
each relation - one for the relation alone, and one for the inheritance
subtree (relation and its child relations). And then we build statistics
on each sample, so for each relation we get two sets of statistics.
For regular (per-column) statistics this works fine, because the catalog
includes a flag differentiating statistics built from those two samples.
But we don't have such flag in the extended statistics catalogs, and we
ended up updating the same row twice, triggering this error:
ERROR: tuple already updated by self
The simplest solution is to disable extended statistics on inheritance
trees, which is what this commit is doing. In the future we may need to
do something similar to per-column statistics, but that requires adding a
flag to the catalog - and that's not backpatchable. Moreover, the current
selectivity estimation code only works with individual relations, so
building statistics on inheritance trees would be pointless anyway.

pg_timezone_names() tries to avoid showing the "Factory" zone in
the view, mainly because that has traditionally had a very long
"abbreviation" such as "Local time zone must be set--see zic manual page",
so that showing it messes up psql's formatting of the whole view.
Since tzdb version 2016g, IANA instead uses the abbreviation "-00",
which is sane enough that there's no reason to discriminate against it.
On the other hand, it emerges that FreeBSD and possibly other packagers
are so wedded to backwards compatibility that they hack the IANA data
to keep the old spelling --- and not just that old spelling, but even
older spellings that IANA used back in the stone age. This caused the
filter logic to fail to suppress "Factory" at all on such platforms,
though the formatting problem is definitely real in that case.
To solve both problems, get rid of the hard-wired assumption about
exactly what Factory's abbreviation is, and instead reject abbreviations
exceeding 31 characters. This will allow Factory to appear in the view
if and only if it's using the modern abbreviation.
In passing, simplify the code we add to zic.c to support "zic -P"
to remove its now-obsolete hacks to not print the Factory zone's
abbreviation. Unlike pg_timezone_names(), there's no reason for
that code to support old/nonstandard timezone data.

Some platforms create a file named "localtime" in the system
timezone directory, making it a copy or link to the active time
zone file. If Postgres is built with --with-system-tzdata, initdb
will see that file as an exact match to localtime(3)'s behavior,
and it may decide that "localtime" is the most preferred spelling of
the active zone. That's a very bad choice though, because it's
neither informative, nor portable, nor stable if someone changes
the system timezone setting. Extend the preference logic added by
commit e3846a00c so that we will prefer any other zone file that
matches localtime's behavior over "localtime".
On the same logic, also discriminate against "posixrules", which
is another not-really-a-zone file that is often present in the
timezone directory. (Since we install "posixrules" but not
"localtime", this change can affect the behavior of Postgres
with or without --with-system-tzdata.)
Note that this change doesn't prevent anyone from choosing these
pseudo-zones if they really want to (i.e., by setting TZ for initdb,
or modifying the timezone GUC later on). It just prevents initdb
from preferring these zone names when there are multiple matches to
localtime's behavior.

Money values exceeding about 18 digits (depending on lc_monetary)
could be inaccurately converted to numeric, due to select_div_scale()
deciding it didn't need to compute any fractional digits. Force
its hand by setting the dscale of one division input to equal the
number of fractional digits we need.
In passing, rearrange the logic to not do useless work in locales
where money values are considered integral.
Per bug #15925 from Slawomir Chodnicki. Back-patch to all supported
branches.

libpq failed to ignore Windows-style newlines in connection service files.
This normally wasn't a problem on Windows itself, because fgets() would
convert \r\n to just \n. But if libpq were running inside a program that
changes the default fopen mode to binary, it would see the \r's and think
they were data. In any case, it's project policy to ignore \r in text
files unconditionally, because people sometimes try to use files with
DOS-style newlines on Unix machines, where the C library won't hide that
from us.
Hence, adjust parseServiceFile() to ignore \r as well as \n at the end of
the line. In HEAD, go a little further and make it ignore all trailing
whitespace, to match what it's always done with leading whitespace.
In HEAD, also run around and fix up everyplace where we have
newline-chomping code to make all those places look consistent and
uniformly drop \r. It is not clear whether any of those changes are
fixing live bugs. Most of the non-cosmetic changes are in places that
are reading popen output, and the jury is still out as to whether popen
on Windows can return \r\n. (The Windows-specific code in pipe_read_line
seems to think so, but our lack of support for this elsewhere suggests
maybe it's not a problem in practice.) Hence, I desisted from applying
those changes to back branches, except in run_ssl_passphrase_command()
which is new enough and little-tested enough that we'd probably not have
heard about any problems there.
Tom Lane and Michael Paquier, per bug #15827 from Jorge Gustavo Rocha.
Back-patch the parseServiceFile() change to all supported branches,
and the run_ssl_passphrase_command() change to v11 where that was added.
