Peter Eisentraut ea9e06ac66 Clean up MinGW def file generation
There were some leftovers from ancient ad-hoc ways to build on
Windows, prior to the standardization on MSVC and MinGW.  We don't
need to build a lib$(NAME)ddll.def (debug build, as opposed to
lib$(NAME)dll.def) for MinGW, since nothing uses that.  We also don't
need to build the regular .def file during distprep, since the MinGW
build environment is perfectly capable of creating that normally at
build time.

Peter Eisentraut 5d3587d14b Fix most -Wundef warnings
In some cases #if was used instead of #ifdef in an inconsistent style.
Cleaning this up also helps when analyzing cases like

There are no behavior changes here, but the change in pg_bswap.h would
prevent possible accidental misuse by third-party code.

Michael Paquier f25968c496 Remove last traces of heap_open/close in the tree
Since pluggable storage has been introduced, those two routines have
been replaced by table_open/close, with some compatibility macros still
present to allow extensions to compile correctly with v12.

Some code paths using the old routines still remained, so replace them.
Based on the discussion done, the consensus reached is that it is better
to remove those compatibility macros so as nothing new uses the old
routines, so remove also the compatibility macros.

Fujii Masao ec1259e880 Fix failure of archive recovery with recovery_min_apply_delay enabled.
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.

Michael Paquier 3f60f690fa Fix timeout handling in logical replication worker
The timestamp tracking the last moment a message is received in a
logical replication worker was initialized in each loop checking if a
message was received or not, causing wal_receiver_timeout to be ignored
in basically any logical replication deployments.  This also broke the
ping sent to the server when reaching half of wal_receiver_timeout.

This simply moves the initialization of the timestamp out of the apply
loop to the beginning of LogicalRepApplyLoop().

Alvaro Herrera 38ddeab13b Fix minor bug in logical-replication walsender shutdown
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.

This was an oversight in commit c6c333436.

Alvaro Herrera 1752e35163 Fix parallel restore of FKs to partitioned tables
When an FK constraint is created, it needs the index on the referenced
table to exist and be valid.  When doing parallel pg_restore and the
referenced table was partitioned, this condition can sometimes not be
met, because pg_dump didn't emit sufficient object dependencies to
ensure so; this means that parallel pg_restore would fail in certain
conditions.  Fix by having pg_dump make the FK constraint object
dependent on the partition attachment objects for the constraint's
referenced index.

This has been broken since f56f8f8da6, so backpatch to Postgres 12.

Tomas Vondra a524f50d0f Improve the check for pg_catalog.unknown data type in pg_upgrade
The pg_upgrade check for pg_catalog.unknown type when upgrading from 9.6
had a couple of issues with domains and composite types - it detected
even composite types unused in objects with storage. So for example this
was enough to trigger an unnecessary pg_upgrade failure:

  CREATE TYPE unknown_composite AS (u pg_catalog.unknown)

On the other hand, this only happened with composite types directly on
the pg_catalog.unknown data type, but not with a domain. So this was not
detected

  CREATE DOMAIN unknown_domain AS pg_catalog.unknown;
  CREATE TYPE unknown_composite_2 AS (u unknown_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.unknown type through a domain. So we missed cases like this

  CREATE TABLE t (u unknown_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. Backpatch all
the way to 10, where the of pg_catalog.unknown data type was restricted.

triggered false positives for composite types unused in objects with

  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

This fixes these false positives and false negatives by using the same

composite types.

Tomas Vondra 0ccfc28223 Check for tables with sql_identifier during pg_upgrade
Commit 7c15cef86d changed sql_identifier data type to be based on name
instead of varchar.  Unfortunately, this breaks on-disk format for this
data type.  Luckily, that should be a very rare problem, as this data
type is used only in information_schema views, so this only affects user
objects (tables, materialized views and indexes).  One way to end in
such situation is to do CTAS with a query on those system views.

There are two options to deal with this - we can either abort pg_upgrade
if there are user objects with sql_identifier columns in pg_upgrade, or
we could replace the sql_identifier type with varchar.  Considering how
rare the issue is expected to be, and the complexity of replacing the
data type (e.g. in matviews), we've decided to go with the simple check.

The query is somewhat complex - the sql_identifier data type may be used
indirectly - through a domain, a composite type or both, possibly in
multiple levels.  Detecting this requires a recursive CTE.

Backpatch to 12, where the sql_identifier definition changed.

POSIX sigaction(2) can be told to block a set of signals while a

This should save a few cycles, and it also prevents recursive
invocation of signal handlers when many signals arrive in close
succession.  We have seen buildfarm failures that seem to be due to
postmaster stack overflow caused by such recursion (exacerbated by
a Linux PPC64 kernel bug).

This doesn't change anything about the way that it works on Windows.

This reverts commit f7ab80285.  Per discussion, we can't remove an

In particular that breaks usage of current libpq.so with pre-9.3

As noted in that commit message, exporting the symbol from libpgport.a
won't work reliably; but actually we don't want to export src/port's
implementation anyway.  Any pre-9.3 client is going to be expecting the
definition that pqsignal() had before 9.3, which was that it didn't
set SA_RESTART for SIGALRM.  Hence, put back pqsignal() in a separate
source file in src/interfaces/libpq, and give it the old semantics.

Bruce Momjian 1634d36157 pg_upgrade: clarify the database names in error files
Previously, the "Database:" label in the error file was unclear if the
label was a status report or the problem was _in_ the database.  New
text is "In database:".

Bruce Momjian 6c9fb69f2b doc: improve docs so config value default units are clearer
Previously, our docs would say "Specifies the number of milliseconds"
but it wasn't clear that "milliseconds" was merely the default unit.
New text says "Specifies duration (defaults to milliseconds)", which is
clearer.

Peter Eisentraut 38d8dce61f Remove some code for old unsupported versions of MSVC
As of d9dd406fe2, we require MSVC 2013,
which means _MSC_VER >= 1800.  This means that conditionals about
older versions of _MSC_VER can be removed or simplified.

Previous code was also in some cases handling MinGW, where _MSC_VER is
not defined at all, incorrectly, such as in pg_ctl.c and win32_port.h,
leading to some compiler warnings.  This should now be handled better.

Tom Lane 3887e9455f Check for too many postmaster children before spawning a bgworker.
The postmaster's code path for spawning a bgworker neglected to check
whether we already have the max number of live child processes.  That's
a bit hard to hit, since it would necessarily be a transient condition;
but if we do, AssignPostmasterChildSlot() fails causing a postmaster
crash, as seen in a report from Bhargav Kamineni.

To fix, invoke canAcceptConnections() in the bgworker code path, as we
do in the other code paths that spawn children.  Since we don't want
the same pmState tests in this case, add a child-process-type parameter
to canAcceptConnections() so that it can know what to do.

Back-patch to 9.5.  In principle the same hazard exists in 9.4, but the
code is enough different that this patch wouldn't quite fix it there.
Given the tiny usage of bgworkers in that branch it doesn't seem worth
creating a variant patch for it.
