De-anonymize the union in JsonbValue.

Needed for strict C89 compliance.
Fix assorted issues in client host name lookup.

The code for matching clients to pg_hba.conf lines that specify host names
(instead of IP address ranges) failed to complain if reverse DNS lookup
failed; instead it silently didn't match, so that you might end up getting
a surprising "no pg_hba.conf entry for ..." error, as seen in bug #9518
from Mike Blackwell.  Since we don't want to make this a fatal error in
situations where pg_hba.conf contains a mixture of host names and IP
addresses (clients matching one of the numeric entries should not have to
have rDNS data), remember the lookup failure and mention it as DETAIL if
we get to "no pg_hba.conf entry".  Apply the same approach to forward-DNS
lookup failures, too, rather than treating them as immediate hard errors.

Along the way, fix a couple of bugs that prevented us from detecting an
rDNS lookup error reliably, and make sure that we make only one rDNS lookup
attempt; formerly, if the lookup attempt failed, the code would try again
for each host name entry in pg_hba.conf.  Since more or less the whole
point of this design is to ensure there's only one lookup attempt not one
per entry, the latter point represents a performance bug that seems
sufficient justification for back-patching.

Also, adjust src/port/getaddrinfo.c so that it plays as well as it can
with this code.  Which is not all that well, since it does not have actual
support for rDNS lookup, but at least it should return the expected (and
required by spec) error codes so that the main code correctly perceives the
lack of functionality as a lookup failure.  It's unlikely that PG is still
being used in production on any machines that require our getaddrinfo.c,
so I'm not excited about working harder than this.

To keep the code in the various branches similar, this includes
back-patching commits c424d0d1052cb4053c8712ac44123f9b9a9aa3f2 and
1997f34db4687e671690ed054c8f30bb501b1168 into 9.2 and earlier.

Back-patch to 9.1 where the facility for hostnames in pg_hba.conf was
introduced.
Avoid palloc in critical section in GiST WAL-logging.

Memory allocation can fail if you run out of memory, and inside a critical
section that will lead to a PANIC. Use conservatively-sized arrays in stack
instead.

There was previously no explicit limit on the number of pages a GiST split
can produce, it was only limited by the number of LWLocks that can be held
simultaneously (100 at the moment). This patch adds an explicit limit of 75
pages. That should be plenty, a typical split shouldn't produce more than
2-3 page halves.

The bug has been there forever, but only backpatch down to 9.1. The code
was changed significantly in 9.1, and it doesn't seem worth the risk or
trouble to adapt this for 9.0 and 8.4.
Avoid promising that "ADD COLUMN ... DEFAULT NULL" is free.

The system realizes that DEFAULT NULL is dummy in simple cases, but not if
a cast function (such as a length coercion) needs to be applied.  It's
dubious that suppressing that function call would be appropriate, anyway.
For the moment, let's just adjust the docs to say that you should omit the
DEFAULT clause if you don't want a rewrite to happen.  Per gripe from Amit
Langote.
Fix documentation about joining pg_locks to other views.

The advice to join to pg_prepared_xacts via the transaction column was not
updated when the transaction column was replaced by virtualtransaction.
Since it's not quite obvious how to do that join, give an explicit example.
For consistency also give an example for the adjacent case of joining to
pg_stat_activity.  And link-ify the view references too, just because we
can.  Per bug #9840 from Alexey Bashtanov.

Code review for commit d26888bc4d1e539a82f21382b0000fe5bbf889d9.

Mostly, copy-edit the comments; but also fix it to not reject domains over
arrays.
Fix non-equivalence of VARIADIC and non-VARIADIC function call formats.

For variadic functions (other than VARIADIC ANY), the syntaxes foo(x,y,...)
and foo(VARIADIC ARRAY[x,y,...]) should be considered equivalent, since the
former is converted to the latter at parse time.  They have indeed been
equivalent, in all releases before 9.3.  However, commit 75b39e790 made an
ill-considered decision to record which syntax had been used in FuncExpr
nodes, and then to make equal() test that in checking node equality ---
which caused the syntaxes to not be seen as equivalent by the planner.
This is the underlying cause of bug #9817 from Dmitry Ryabov.

It might seem that a quick fix would be to make equal() disregard
FuncExpr.funcvariadic, but the same commit made that untenable, because
the field actually *is* semantically significant for some VARIADIC ANY
functions.  This patch instead adopts the approach of redefining
funcvariadic (and aggvariadic, in HEAD) as meaning that the last argument
is a variadic array, whether it got that way by parser intervention or was
supplied explicitly by the user.  Therefore the value will always be true
for non-ANY variadic functions, restoring the principle of equivalence.
(However, the planner will continue to consider use of VARIADIC as a
meaningful difference for VARIADIC ANY functions, even though some such
functions might disregard it.)

In HEAD, this change lets us simplify the decompilation logic in
ruleutils.c, since the funcvariadic/aggvariadic flag tells directly whether
to print VARIADIC.  However, in 9.3 we have to continue to cope with
existing stored rules/views that might contain the previous definition.
Fortunately, this just means no change in ruleutils.c, since its existing
behavior effectively ignores funcvariadic for all cases other than VARIADIC
ANY functions.

In HEAD, bump catversion to reflect the fact that FuncExpr.funcvariadic
changed meanings; this is sort of pro forma, since I don't believe any
built-in views are affected.

Unfortunately, this patch doesn't magically fix everything for affected
9.3 users.  After installing 9.3.5, they might need to recreate their
rules/views/indexes containing variadic function calls in order to get
everything consistent with the new definition.  As in the cited bug,
the symptom of a problem would be failure to use a nominally matching
index that has a variadic function call in its definition.  We'll need
to mention this in the 9.3.5 release notes.
Avoid allocations in critical sections.

If a palloc in a critical section fails, it becomes a PANIC.
Add an Assertion that you don't palloc within a critical section.

This caught a bunch of cases doing that already, which I just fixed in
previous commit. This is the assertion itself.

Per Tom Lane's idea.
In checkpoint, move the check for in-progress xacts out of critical section.

GetVirtualXIDsDelayingChkpt calls palloc, which isn't safe in a critical
section. I thought I covered this case with the exemption for the
checkpointer, but CreateCheckPoint is also called from the startup process.
Move multixid allocation out of critical section.

It can fail if you run out of memory.

This call was added in 9.3, so backpatch to 9.3 only.
Fix some compiler warnings that clang emits with -pedantic.

Fix bogus time printout in walreceiver's debug log messages.

The displayed sendtime and receipttime were always exactly equal, because
somebody forgot that timestamptz_to_str returns a static buffer (thereby
simplifying life for most callers, at the cost of complicating it for those
who need two results concurrently).  Apply the same pstrdup solution used
by the other call sites with this issue.  Back-patch to 9.2 where the
faulty code was introduced.  Per bug #9849 from Haruka Takatsuka, though
this is not exactly his patch.

Possibly we should change timestamptz_to_str's API, but I wouldn't want
to do so in the back branches.
Make sure -D is an absolute path when starting server on Windows.

This is needed because Windows services may get started with a different
current directory than where pg_ctl is executed.  We want relative -D
paths to be interpreted relative to pg_ctl's CWD, similarly to what
happens on other platforms.

In support of this, move the backend's make_absolute_path() function
into src/port/path.c (where it probably should have been long since)
and get rid of the rather inferior version in pg_regress.

Preserve errno across free().

Dept. of second thoughts: free() isn't guaranteed not to change errno.
Make sure we report the right error if getcwd() fails.
Allow "-C variable" and "--describe-config" even to root users.

There's no really compelling reason to refuse to do these read-only,
non-server-starting options as root, and there's at least one good
reason to allow -C: pg_ctl uses -C to find out the true data directory
location when pointed at a config-only directory.  On Windows, this is
done before dropping administrator privileges, which means that pg_ctl
fails for administrators if and only if a config-only layout is used.

Since the root-privilege check is done so early in startup, it's a bit
awkward to check for these switches.  Make the somewhat arbitrary
decision that we'll only skip the root check if -C is the first switch.
This is not just to make the code a bit simpler: it also guarantees that
we can't misinterpret a --boot mode switch.  (While AuxiliaryProcessMain
doesn't currently recognize any such switch, it might have one in the
future.)  This is no particular problem for pg_ctl, and since the whole
behavior is undocumented anyhow, it's not a documentation issue either.
(--describe-config only works as the first switch anyway, so this is
no restriction for that case either.)

Back-patch to 9.2 where pg_ctl first began to use -C.

Fix tablespace creation WAL replay to work on Windows.

ecpg/ecpglib must build the src/port files it uses with -DFRONTEND.

Remarkably, this hasn't been noticed before, though it surely should
have been happening since around the fall of the Byzantine empire.
Commit 438b529604 changed path.c to depend on FRONTEND, and that exposed

I'm suspicious that some other subdirectories are missing this too,
but this one change is enough to make ecpg tests pass for me.
Fix processing of PGC_BACKEND GUC parameters on Windows.

EXEC_BACKEND builds (i.e., Windows) failed to absorb values of PGC_BACKEND
parameters if they'd been changed post-startup via the config file.  This
for example prevented log_connections from working if it were turned on
post-startup.  The mechanism for handling this case has always been a bit
of a kluge, and it wasn't revisited when we implemented EXEC_BACKEND.
While in a normal forking environment new backends will inherit the
postmaster's value of such settings, EXEC_BACKEND backends have to read
the settings from the CONFIG_EXEC_PARAMS file, and they were mistakenly
rejecting them.  So this case has always been broken in the Windows port;
so back-patch to all supported branches.

Fix another palloc in critical section.

Also add a regression test for a GIN index with enough items with the same
key, so that a GIN posting tree gets created. Apparently none of the
existing GIN tests were large enough for that.

This code is new, no backpatching required.
