During the development of d47cfef711 the CFI()s in ExecScan() were
moved back and forth, ending up in the wrong place. Thus queries that
largely spend their time in ExecScan(), and have neither projection
nor a qual, can't be cancelled in a timely manner.

68a7c24fdf Fix ordering in pg_dump of GRANTs
The order in which GRANTs are output is important as GRANTs which have
been GRANT'd by individuals via WITH GRANT OPTION GRANTs have to come
after the GRANT which included the WITH GRANT OPTION.  This happens
naturally in the backend during normal operation as we only change
existing ACLs in-place, only add new ACLs to the end, and when removing
an ACL we remove any which depend on it also.

Also, adjust the comments in acl.h to make this clear.

Unfortunately, the updates to pg_dump to handle initial privileges
involved pulling apart ACLs and then combining them back together and
could end up putting them back together in an invalid order, leading to
dumps which wouldn't restore.

Fix this by adjusting the queries used by pg_dump to ensure that the
ACLs are rebuilt in the same order in which they were originally.

Back-patch to 9.6 where the changes for initial privileges were done.

deleted after we see them in a readdir() scan but before we can open them.

getting unlinked, though.)  Tweak RecursiveCopy so it can cope with this

5c11717185 Quick-hack fix for foreign key cascade vs triggers with transition tables.
AFTER triggers using transition tables crashed if they were fired due
to a foreign key ON CASCADE update.  This is because ExecEndModifyTable
flushes the transition tables, on the assumption that any trigger that
could need them was already fired during ExecutorFinish.  Normally
that's true, because we don't allow transition-table-using triggers
to be deferred.  However, foreign key CASCADE updates force any
triggers on the referencing table to be deferred to the outer query
level, by means of the EXEC_FLAG_SKIP_TRIGGERS flag.  I don't recall
all the details of why it's like that and am pretty loath to redesign
it right now.  Instead, just teach ExecEndModifyTable to skip destroying
the TransitionCaptureState when that flag is set.  This will allow the
transition table data to survive until end of the current subtransaction.

This isn't a terribly satisfactory solution, because (1) we might be
leaking the transition tables for much longer than really necessary,
and (2) as things stand, an AFTER STATEMENT trigger will fire once per
RI updating query, ie once per row updated or deleted in the referenced
table.  I suspect that is not per SQL spec.  But redesigning this is a
research project that we're certainly not going to get done for v10.
So let's go with this hackish answer for now.

In passing, tweak AfterTriggerSaveEvent to not save the transition_capture
pointer into the event record for a deferrable trigger.  This is not
necessary to fix the current bug, but it avoids letting dangling pointers
to long-gone transition tables persist in the trigger event queue.  That's
at least a safety feature.  It might also allow merging shared trigger
states in more cases than before.

I added a regression test that demonstrates the crash on unpatched code,
and also exposes the behavior of firing the AFTER STATEMENT triggers
once per row update.

Per bug #14808 from Philippe Beaudoin.  Back-patch to v10.

psql's own version.  Add VERSION_NAME to show the short form (e.g.,
"11devel") and VERSION_NUM to show the numeric form (e.g., 110000).
Also add SERVER_VERSION_NAME and SERVER_VERSION_NUM to show the short and
numeric forms of the server's version.  (We'd probably add SERVER_VERSION
with the verbose string if it were readily available; but adding another
network round trip to get it seems too expensive.)

The numeric forms, in particular, are expected to be useful for scripting
purposes, now that psql can do conditional tests.

1861b20cd6 Correct base backup throttling
Throttling for sending a base backup in walsender is broken for the case
where there is a lot of WAL traffic, because the latch used to put the
walsender to sleep is also signalled by regular WAL traffic (and each
signal causes an additional batch of data to be sent); the net effect is
that there is no or little actual throttling.  This is undesirable, so
rewrite the sleep into a loop to achieve the desired effeect.

01edb5c7fc Improve division of labor between execParallel.c and nodeGather[Merge].c.
Move the responsibility for creating/destroying TupleQueueReaders into
execParallel.c, to avoid duplicative coding in nodeGather.c and
nodeGatherMerge.c.  Also, instead of having DestroyTupleQueueReader do
shm_mq_detach, do it in the caller (which is now only ExecParallelFinish).
This means execParallel.c does both the attaching and detaching of the
tuple-queue-reader shm_mqs, which seems less weird than the previous
arrangement.

These changes also eliminate a vestigial memory leak (of the pei->tqueue
array).  It's now demonstrable that rescans of Gather or GatherMerge don't
leak memory.

f2fe1cbef1 Make [U]INT64CONST safe for use in #if conditions.
Instead of using a cast to force the constant to be the right width,
assume we can plaster on an L, UL, LL, or ULL suffix as appropriate.
The old approach to this is very hoary, dating from before we were
willing to require compilers to have working int64 types.

This fix makes the PG_INT64_MIN, PG_INT64_MAX, and PG_UINT64_MAX
constants safe to use in preprocessor conditions, where a cast
doesn't work.  Other symbolic constants that might be defined using
[U]INT64CONST are likewise safer than before.

Also fix the SIZE_MAX macro to be similarly safe, if we are forced
to provide a definition for that.  The test added in commit 2e70d6b5e
happens to do what we want even with the hack "(size_t) -1" definition,
but we could easily get burnt on other tests in future.

cbb51eb69f Ensure SIZE_MAX can be used throughout our code.
Pre-C99 platforms may lack <stdint.h> and thereby SIZE_MAX.  We have
a couple of places using the hack "(size_t) -1" as a fallback, but
it wasn't universally available; which means the code added in commit
2e70d6b5e fails to compile everywhere.  Move that hack to c.h so that
we can rely on having SIZE_MAX everywhere.

Per discussion, it'd be a good idea to make the macro's value safe
for use in #if-tests, but that will take a bit more work.  This is
just a quick expedient to get the buildfarm green again.

7610547c95 Avoid memory leaks when a GatherMerge node is rescanned.
Rescanning a GatherMerge led to leaking some memory in the executor's
query-lifespan context, because most of the node's working data structures
were simply abandoned and rebuilt from scratch.  In practice, this might
never amount to much, given the cost of relaunching worker processes ---
but it's still pretty messy, so let's fix it.

We can rearrange things so that the tuple arrays are simply cleared and
reused, and we don't need to rebuild the TupleTableSlots either, just
clear them.  One small complication is that because we might get a
different number of workers on each iteration, we can't keep the old
convention that the leader's gm_slots[] entry is the last one; the leader
might clobber a TupleTableSlot that we need for a worker in a future
iteration.  Hence, adjust the logic so that the leader has slot 0 always,
while the active workers have slots 1..n.

Back-patch to v10 to keep all the existing versions of nodeGatherMerge.c
in sync --- because of the renumbering of the slots, there would otherwise
be a very large risk that any future backpatches in this module would
introduce bugs.

b4fa938e9f Clean up shm_mq cleanup.
The logic around shm_mq_detach was a few bricks shy of a load, because
(contrary to the comments for shm_mq_attach) all it did was update the
shared shm_mq state.  That left us leaking a bit of process-local
memory, but much worse, the on_dsm_detach callback for shm_mq_detach
was still armed.  That means that whenever we ultimately detach from
the DSM segment, we'd run shm_mq_detach again for already-detached,
possibly long-dead queues.  This accidentally fails to fail today,
because we only ever re-use a shm_mq's memory for another shm_mq, and
multiple detach attempts on the last such shm_mq are fairly harmless.
But it's gonna bite us someday, so let's clean it up.

To do that, change shm_mq_detach's API so it takes a shm_mq_handle
not the underlying shm_mq.  This makes the callers simpler in most
cases anyway.  Also fix a few places in parallel.c that were just
pfree'ing the handle structs rather than doing proper cleanup.

Back-patch to v10 because of the risk that the revenant shm_mq_detach
callbacks would cause a live bug sometime.  Since this is an API
change, it's too late to do it in 9.6.  (We could make a variant
patch that preserves API, but I'm not excited enough to do that.)

cb8e015b94 Code review for nodeGatherMerge.c.
Comment the fields of GatherMergeState, and organize them a bit more
sensibly.  Comment GMReaderTupleBuffer more usefully too.  Improve
assorted other comments that were obsolete or just not very good English.

Get rid of the use of a GMReaderTupleBuffer for the leader process;
that was confusing, since only the "done" field was used, and that
in a way redundant with need_to_scan_locally.

In gather_merge_init, avoid calling load_tuple_array for
already-known-exhausted workers.  I'm not sure if there's a live bug there,
but the case is unlikely to be well tested due to timing considerations.

Remove some useless code, such as duplicating the tts_isempty test done by
TupIsNull.

Remove useless initialization of ps.qual, replacing that with an assertion
that we have no qual to check.  (If we did, the code would fail to check
it.)

Avoid applying heap_copytuple to a null tuple.  While that fails to crash,
it's confusing and it makes the code less legible not more so IMO.

Propagate a couple of these changes into nodeGather.c, as well.

Back-patch to v10, partly because of the possibility that the
gather_merge_init change is fixing a live bug, but mostly to keep
the branches in sync to ease future bug fixes.

d6a149f4e6 Separate reinitialization of shared parallel-scan state from ExecReScan.
Previously, the parallel executor logic did reinitialization of shared
state within the ExecReScan code for parallel-aware scan nodes.  This is
problematic, because it means that the ExecReScan call has to occur
synchronously (ie, during the parent Gather node's ReScan call).  That is
swimming very much against the tide so far as the ExecReScan machinery is
concerned; the fact that it works at all today depends on a lot of fragile
assumptions, such as that no plan node between Gather and a parallel-aware
scan node is parameterized.  Another objection is that because ExecReScan
might be called in workers as well as the leader, hacky extra tests are
needed in some places to prevent unwanted shared-state resets.

Hence, let's separate this code into two functions, a ReInitializeDSM
call and the ReScan call proper.  ReInitializeDSM is called only in
the leader and is guaranteed to run before we start new workers.
ReScan is returned to its traditional function of resetting only local
state, which means that ExecReScan's usual habits of delaying or
eliminating child rescan calls are safe again.

As with the preceding commit 7df2c1f8d, it doesn't seem to be necessary
to make these changes in 9.6, which is a good thing because the FDW and
CustomScan APIs are impacted.

5816ddc707 Restore test case from a2b70c89ca1a5fcf6181d3c777d82e7b83d2de1b.
Revert the reversion commits a20aac890 and 9b644745c.  In the wake of
commit 7df2c1f8d, we should get stable buildfarm results from this test;
if not, I'd like to know sooner not later.

54eac6e8c5 Force rescanning of parallel-aware scan nodes below a Gather[Merge].
The ExecReScan machinery contains various optimizations for postponing
or skipping rescans of plan subtrees; for example a HashAgg node may
conclude that it can re-use the table it built before, instead of
re-reading its input subtree.  But that is wrong if the input contains
a parallel-aware table scan node, since the portion of the table scanned
by the leader process is likely to vary from one rescan to the next.
This explains the timing-dependent buildfarm failures we saw after
commit a2b70c89c.

The established mechanism for showing that a plan node's output is
potentially variable is to mark it as depending on some runtime Param.
Hence, to fix this, invent a dummy Param (one that has a PARAM_EXEC
parameter number, but carries no actual value) associated with each Gather
or GatherMerge node, mark parallel-aware nodes below that node as dependent
on that Param, and arrange for ExecReScanGather[Merge] to flag that Param
as changed whenever the Gather[Merge] node is rescanned.

This solution breaks an undocumented assumption made by the parallel
executor logic, namely that all rescans of nodes below a Gather[Merge]
will happen synchronously during the ReScan of the top node itself.
But that's fundamentally contrary to the design of the ExecReScan code,
and so was doomed to fail someday anyway (even if you want to argue
that the bug being fixed here wasn't a failure of that assumption).
A follow-on patch will address that issue.  In the meantime, the worst
that's expected to happen is that given very bad timing luck, the leader
might have to do all the work during a rescan, because workers think
they have nothing to do, if they are able to start up before the eventual
ReScan of the leader's parallel-aware table scan node has reset the
shared scan state.

Although this problem exists in 9.6, there does not seem to be any way
for it to manifest there.  Without GatherMerge, it seems that a plan tree
that has a rescan-short-circuiting node below Gather will always also
have one above it that will short-circuit in the same cases, preventing
the Gather from being rescanned.  Hence we won't take the risk of
back-patching this change into 9.6.  But v10 needs it.

2fa44f666f doc: Avoid sidebar element
The formatting of the sidebar element didn't carry over to the new tool
chain.  Instead of inventing a whole new way of dealing with it, just
convert the one use to a "note".

ff59f30dc3 Doc: document libpq's restriction to INT_MAX rows in a PGresult.
As long as PQntuples, PQgetvalue, etc, use "int" for row numbers, we're
pretty much stuck with this limitation.  The documentation formerly stated
that the result of PQntuples "might overflow on 32-bit operating systems",
which is just nonsense: that's not where the overflow would happen, and
if you did reach an overflow it would not be on a 32-bit machine, because
you'd have OOM'd long since.

b481b39b87 Teach libpq to detect integer overflow in the row count of a PGresult.
Adding more than 1 billion rows to a PGresult would overflow its ntups and
tupArrSize fields, leading to client crashes.  It'd be desirable to use
wider fields on 64-bit machines, but because all of libpq's external APIs
use plain "int" for row counters, that's going to be hard to accomplish
without an ABI break.  Given the lack of complaints so far, and the general
pain that would be involved in using such huge PGresults, let's settle for
just preventing the overflow and reporting a useful error message if it
does happen.  Also, for a couple more lines of code we can increase the
threshold of trouble from INT_MAX/2 to INT_MAX rows.

To do that, refactor pqAddTuple() to allow returning an error message that
replaces the default assumption that it failed because of out-of-memory.

Along the way, fix PQsetvalue() so that it reports all failures via
pqInternalNotice().  It already did so in the case of bad field number,
but neglected to report anything for other error causes.

Because of the potential for crashes, this seems like a back-patchable
bug fix, despite the lack of field reports.
