Update comment.

The _bt_tuplecompare() function mentioned in comment hasn't existed for a
long time.

Small code cleanup.

Declare static variable as static and external as extern.
Ensure libpq reports a suitable error message on unexpected socket EOF.

The EOF-detection logic in pqReadData was a bit confused about who should
set up the error message in case the kernel gives us read-ready-but-no-data
rather than ECONNRESET or some other explicit error condition.  Since the
whole point of this situation is that the lower-level functions don't know
there's anything wrong, pqReadData itself must set up the message.  But
keep the assumption that if an errno was reported, a message was set up at
lower levels.

Per bug #11712 from Marko Tiikkaja.  It's been like this for a very long
time, so back-patch to all supported branches.
Add tests for sequence privileges
Minimize calls of pg_class_aclcheck to minimum necessary

In a couple of code paths, pg_class_aclcheck is called in succession
with multiple different modes set.  This patch combines those modes to
have a single call of this function and reduce a bit process overhead
for permission checking.

Prevent the already-archived WAL file from being archived again.

Previously the archive recovery always created .ready file for
the last WAL file of the old timeline at the end of recovery even when
it's restored from the archive and has .done file. That is, there was
the case where the WAL file had both .ready and .done files.
This caused the already-archived WAL file to be archived again.

This commit prevents the archive recovery from creating .ready file
for the last WAL file if it has .done file, in order to prevent it from
being archived again.

This bug was added when cascading replication feature was introduced,
i.e., the commit 5286105800c7d5902f98f32e11b209c471c0c69c.
So, back-patch to 9.2, where cascading replication was added.

Add a function to get the authenticated user ID.

Previously, this was not exposed outside of miscinit.c.  It is needed
for the pending pg_background patch, and will also be needed for
parallelism.  Without it, there's no way for a background worker to
re-create the exact authentication environment that was present in the
process that started it, which could lead to security exposures.
Remove the unused argument of PSQLexec().

This commit simply removes the second argument of PSQLexec that was
set to the same value everywhere. Comments and code blocks related
to this parameter are removed.

Perform less setup work for AFTER triggers at transaction start.

Testing reveals that the memory allocation we do at transaction start
has small but measurable overhead on simple transactions.  To cut
down on that overhead, defer some of that work to the point when
AFTER triggers are first used, thus avoiding it altogether if they
never are.

Patch by me.  Review by Andres Freund.
Improve ispell dictionary's defenses against bad affix files.

Don't crash if an ispell dictionary definition contains flags but not
any compound affixes.  (This isn't a security issue since only superusers
can install affix files, but still it's a bad thing.)

Also, be more careful about detecting whether an affix-file FLAG command
is old-format (ispell) or new-format (myspell/hunspell).  And change the
error message about mixed old-format and new-format commands into something
intelligible.

Per bug #11770 from Emre Hasegeli.  Back-patch to all supported branches.
In type_sanity, check I/O functions of built-in types are not volatile.

We have a project policy that I/O functions must not be volatile, as per
commit aab353a60b95aadc00f81da0c6d99bde696c4b75, but we weren't doing
anything to enforce that.  In most usage the marking of the function
doesn't matter as long as its behavior is sane --- but I/O casts can
expose the marking as user-visible behavior, as per today's complaint
from Joe Van Dyk about contrib/ltree.

This test as such will only protect us against future errors in built-in
data types.  To catch the same error in contrib or third-party types,
perhaps we should make CREATE TYPE complain?  But that's a separate
issue from enforcing the policy for built-in types.

psql: complain if pg_dump custom-format is detected

Apparently, this is a very common mistake for users to make; it is
better to have it fail reasonably rather than throw potentially a large
number of errors.  Since we have a magic string at the start of the
file, we can detect the case easily and there's no other possible useful
behavior anyway.

Work around Windows locale name with non-ASCII character.

Windows has one a locale whose name contains a non-ASCII character:
"Norwegian (Bokmål)" (that's an 'a' with a ring on top). That causes
trouble; when passing it setlocale(), it's not clear what encoding the
argument should be in. Another problem is that the locale name is stored in
pg_database catalog table, and the encoding used there depends on what
server encoding happens to be in use when the database is created. For
example, if you issue the CREATE DATABASE when connected to a UTF-8
database, the locale name is stored in pg_database in UTF-8. As long as all
locale names are pure ASCII, that's not a problem.

To work around that, map the troublesome locale name to a pure-ASCII alias
of the same locale, "norwegian-bokmal".

Now, this doesn't change the existing values that are already in
pg_database and in postgresql.conf. Old clusters will need to be fixed
manually. Instructions for that need to be put in the release notes.

This fixes bug #11431 reported by Alon Siman-Tov. Backpatch to 9.2;
backpatching further would require more work than seems worth it.

Fix TAP tests with Perl 5.8

The prove program included in Perl 5.8 does not support the --ext
option, so don't use that and use wildcards on the command line instead.

Note that the tests will still all be skipped, because, for instance,
the version of Test::More is too old, but at least the regular
mechanisms for handling that will apply, instead of failing to call
prove altogether.
