recovery_min_apply_delay parameter is intended for use with streaming
replication deployments. However, the document clearly explains that
the parameter will be honored in all cases if it's specified. So it should
take effect even if in archive recovery. But, previously, archive recovery
with recovery_min_apply_delay enabled always failed, and caused assertion
failure if --enable-caasert is enabled.
The cause of this problem is that; the ownership of recoveryWakeupLatch
that recovery_min_apply_delay uses was taken only when standby mode
is requested. So unowned latch could be used in archive recovery, and
which caused the failure.
This commit changes recovery code so that the ownership of
recoveryWakeupLatch is taken even in archive recovery. Which prevents
archive recovery with recovery_min_apply_delay from failing.
Back-patch to v9.4 where recovery_min_apply_delay was added.

Logical walsender should exit when it catches up with sending WAL during
shutdown; but there was a rare corner case when it failed to because of
a race condition that puts it back to wait for more WAL instead -- but
since there wasn't any, it'd not shut down immediately. It would only
continue the shutdown when wal_sender_timeout terminates the sleep,
which causes annoying waits during shutdown procedure. Restructure the
code so that we no longer forget to set WalSndCaughtUp in that case.

The pg_upgrade check for pg_catalog.line data type when upgrading from
9.3 had a couple of issues with domains and composite types. Firstly, it
triggered false positives for composite types unused in objects with
storage. This was enough to trigger an unnecessary pg_upgrade failure:
CREATE TYPE line_composite AS (l pg_catalog.line)
On the other hand, this only happened with composite types directly on
the pg_catalog.line data type, but not with a domain. So this was not
detected
CREATE DOMAIN line_domain AS pg_catalog.line;
CREATE TYPE line_composite_2 AS (l line_domain);
unlike the first example. These false positives and inconsistencies are
unfortunate, but what's worse we've failed to detected objects using the
pg_catalog.line data type through a domain. So we missed cases like this
CREATE TABLE t (l line_composite_2);
The consequence is clusters broken after a pg_upgrade.
This fixes these false positives and false negatives by using the same
recursive CTE introduced by eaf900e842 for sql_identifier. 9.3 did not
support domains on composite types, but we can still have multi-level
composite types.

Encoding conversion uses the very simplistic rule that the output
can't be more than 4X longer than the input, and palloc's a buffer
of that size. This results in failure to convert any string longer
than 1/4 GB, which is becoming an annoying limitation.
As a band-aid to improve matters, allow the allocated output buffer
size to exceed 1GB. We still insist that the final result fit into
MaxAllocSize (1GB), though. Perhaps it'd be safe to relax that
restriction, but it'd require close analysis of all callers, which
is daunting (not least because external modules might call these
functions). For the moment, this should allow a 2X to 4X improvement
in the longest string we can convert, which is a useful gain in
return for quite a simple patch.
Also, once we have successfully converted a long string, repalloc
the output down to the actual string length, returning the excess
to the malloc pool. This seems worth doing since we can usually
expect to give back several MB if we take this path at all.
This still leaves much to be desired, most notably that the assumption
that MAX_CONVERSION_GROWTH == 4 is very fragile, and yet we have no
guard code verifying that the output buffer isn't overrun. Fixing
that would require significant changes in the encoding conversion
APIs, so it'll have to wait for some other day.
The present patch seems safely back-patchable, so patch all supported
branches.

That's unpleasant if a really large allocation is resized to a

code was designed, and I'm not sure whether they're common even yet,
but an upcoming fix to encoding conversion will certainly create such
cases. Therefore, fix AllocSetRealloc so that it gives realloc()

In-core relation options can use a custom lock mode since 47167b7, that

it forgot to consider custom relation options. This causes failures

allow to define a custom lock mode, so enforce its initialization to
AccessExclusiveMode which should be safe enough in all cases. An

If the bitstring length is not a multiple of 8, we'd shift the
rightmost bits into the pad space, which must be zeroes --- bit_cmp,
for one, depends on that. This'd lead to the result failing to
compare equal to what it should compare equal to, as reported in
bug #16013 from Daryl Waycott.
This is, if memory serves, not the first such bug in the bitstring
functions. In hopes of making it the last one, do a bit more work
than minimally necessary to fix the bug:
* Add assertion checks to bit_out() and varbit_out() to complain if
they are given incorrectly-padded input. This will improve the
odds that manual testing of any new patch finds problems.
* Encapsulate the padding-related logic in macros to make it
easier to use.
Also, remove unnecessary padding logic from bit_or() and bitxor().
Somebody had already noted that we need not re-pad the result of
bit_and() since the inputs are required to be the same length,
but failed to extrapolate that to the other two.
Also, move a comment block that once was near the head of varbit.c
(but people kept putting other stuff in front of it), to put it in
the header block.
Note for the release notes: if anyone has inconsistent data as a
result of saving the output of bitshiftright() in a table, it's
possible to fix it with something like
UPDATE mytab SET bitcol = ~(~bitcol) WHERE bitcol != ~(~bitcol);

After an unexpected connection loss and successful reconnection,
psql neglected to resynchronize its internal state about the server,
such as server version. Ordinarily we'd be reconnecting to the same
server and so this isn't really necessary, but there are scenarios
where we do need to update --- one example is where we have a list
of possible connection targets and they're not all alike.
Define "resynchronize" as including connection_warnings(), so that
this case acts the same as \connect. This seems useful; for example,
if the server version did change, the user might wish to know that.
An attuned user might also notice that the new connection isn't
SSL-encrypted, for example, though this approach isn't especially
in-your-face about such changes. Although this part is a behavioral
change, it only affects interactive sessions, so it should not break
any applications.
Also, in do_connect, make sure that we desynchronize correctly when
abandoning an old connection in non-interactive mode.
These problems evidently are the result of people patching only one
of the two places where psql deals with connection changes, so insert
some cross-referencing comments in hopes of forestalling future bugs
of the same ilk.
Lastly, in Windows builds, issue codepage mismatch warnings only at
startup, not during reconnections. psql's codepage can't change
during a reconnect, so complaining about it again seems like useless
noise.

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.

This also includes a little test module to test these large distances
between item pointers, without requiring a 16 TB table. It is not

Backpatch-through: 9.5
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.
Per a trouble report from Brent Bates. Back-patch to 9.5; the
issue is old, but the code in 9.4 is enough different that the
patch doesn't apply easily, and it doesn't seem worth the trouble
to fix there.

FD_SETSIZE needs to be declared before winsock2.h, or it is possible to
run into buffer overflow issues when using --jobs. This is similar to
pgbench's solution done in a23c641.
This has been introduced by 71d84ef, and older versions have been using
the default value of FD_SETSIZE, defined at 64. While on it, add a
missing newline to the previously-added error message.
Per buildfarm member jacana, but this impacts all Windows animals
running the TAP tests. I have reproduced the failure locally to check
the patch.

On msys2, 'uname -s' reports a string starting MSYS instead on MINGW
as happens on msys1. Treat these both the same way. This reverts
608a710195 in favor of a more general solution.
Backpatch to all live branches.
When trying to use a high number of jobs, vacuumdb has only checked for
a maximum number of jobs used, causing confusing failures when running
out of file descriptors when the jobs open connections to Postgres.
This commit changes the error handling so as we do not check anymore for
a maximum number of allowed jobs when parsing the option value with
FD_SETSIZE, but check instead if a file descriptor is within the
supported range when opening the connections for the jobs so as this is
detected at the earliest time possible.
Also, improve the error message to give a hint about the number of jobs
recommended, using a wording given by the reviewers of the patch.

POSIX permits getopt() to advance optind beyond argc when the last
argv entry is an option that requires an argument and hasn't got one.
It seems that no major platforms actually do that, but musl does,
so that something like "psql -f" would crash with that libc.
Add a check that optind is in range before trying to look at the
possibly-bogus option.
Report and fix by Quentin Rameau. Back-patch to all supported
branches.

In early development patches, "replication origins" were called "identifiers";
almost everything was renamed, but these references to the old terminology
went unnoticed.
