There's a fair amount of information in the Plan and PlanState trees
that isn't printed by any existing EXPLAIN option. This means that,
when working on the planner, it's often necessary to rely on facilities
such as debug_print_plan, which produce excessively voluminous
output. Hence, use the new EXPLAIN extension facilities to implement
EXPLAIN (DEBUG) and EXPLAIN (RANGE_TABLE) as extensions to the core
EXPLAIN facility.
A great deal more could be done here, and the specific choices about
what to print and how are definitely arguable, but this is at least
a starting point for discussion and a jumping-off point for possible
future improvements.

Remove the old_snapshot_threshold setting and mechanism for producing
the error "snapshot too old", originally added by commit 848ef42b.
Unfortunately it had a number of known problems in terms of correctness
and performance, mostly reported by Andres in the course of his work on
snapshot scalability. We agreed to remove it, after a long period
without an active plan to fix it.
This is certainly a desirable feature, and someone might propose a new
or improved implementation in the future.

This reverts commit 0ad3c60, as per feedback from Tom Lane, Robert Haas

This moves back to basic_archive as module name, and we will likely use

As a demonstration of the sort of thing that can be done by adding a
custom backup target, this defines a 'shell' target which executes a
command defined by the system administrator. The command is executed
once for each tar archive generate by the backup and once for the
backup manifest, if any. Each time the command is executed, it
receives the contents of th file for which it is executed via standard
input.
The configured command can use %f to refer to the name of the archive
(e.g. base.tar, $TABLESPACE_OID.tar, backup_manifest) and %d to refer
to the target detail (pg_basebackup --target shell:DETAIL). A target
detail is required if %d appears in the configured command and
forbidden if it does not.

Running a shell command for each file to be archived has a lot of
overhead and may not offer as much error checking as you want, or the
exact semantics that you want. So, offer the option to call a loadable
module for each file to be archived, rather than running a shell command.
Also, add a 'basic_archive' contrib module as an example implementation
that archives to a local directory.

pgcrypto had internal implementations of some encryption algorithms,
as an alternative to calling out to OpenSSL. These were rarely used,
since most production installations are built with OpenSSL. Moreover,
maintaining parallel code paths makes the code more complex and
difficult to maintain.
This patch removes these internal implementations. Now, pgcrypto is
only built if OpenSSL support is configured.

This is a replacement for the existing --with-openssl, extending the
logic to make easier the addition of new SSL libraries. The grammar is

You can use this to view the contents of the time to XID mapping
which the server maintains when old_snapshot_threshold != -1.
Being able to view that information may be interesting for users,
and it's definitely useful for figuring out whether the mapping
is being maintained correctly. It isn't, so that will need to be
fixed in a subsequent commit.

Sometimes it happens that the visibility information for a tuple
becomes corrupted, either due to bugs in the database software or
external factors. Provide a function heap_force_kill() that can
be used to truncate such dead tuples to dead line pointers, and
a function heap_force_freeze() that can be used to overwrite the
visibility information in such a way that the tuple becomes
all-visible.
These functions are unsafe, in that you can easily use them to
corrupt a database that was not previously corrupted, and you can
use them to further corrupt an already-corrupted database or to
destroy data. The documentation accordingly cautions against
casual use. However, in some cases they permit recovery of data
that would otherwise be very difficult to recover, or to allow a
system to continue to function when it would otherwise be difficult
to do so.
Because we may want to add other functions for performing other
kinds of surgery in the future, the new contrib module is called
pg_surgery rather than something specific to these functions. I
proposed back-patching this so that it could be more easily used
by people running existing releases who are facing these kinds of
problems, but that proposal did not attract enough support, so
no back-patch for now.

plperl's default handling of bool arguments or results is not terribly
satisfactory, since Perl doesn't consider the string 'f' to be false.
Ideally we'd just fix that, but the backwards-compatibility hazard
would be substantial. Instead, build a TRANSFORM module that can
be optionally applied to provide saner semantics.
Perhaps usefully, this is also about the minimum possible skeletal
example of a plperl transform module; so it might be a better starting
point for user-written transform modules than hstore_plperl or
jsonb_plperl.

The recent addition of a test suite for this module revealed a few
problems. It uses a crypt() method that is no longer considered secure
and doesn't work anymore on some platforms. Using a volatile input
function violates internal sanity check assumptions and leads to
failures on the build farm.
So this module is neither a usable security tool nor a good example for
an extension. No one wanted to argue for keeping or improving it, so
remove it.

This is the beginning of a collection of SQL-callable functions to
verify the integrity of data files. For now it only contains code to
verify B-Tree indexes.
This adds two SQL-callable functions, validating B-Tree consistency to
a varying degree. Check the, extensive, docs for details.
The goal is to later extend the coverage of the module to further
access methods, possibly including the heap. Once checks for
additional access methods exist, we'll likely add some "dispatch"
functions that cover multiple access methods.

This module was intended to ease migrations of applications that used
the pre-8.3 version of text search to the in-core version introduced
in that release. However, since all pre-8.3 releases of the database
have been out of support for more than 5 years at this point, we
expect that few people are depending on it at this point. If some
people still need it, nothing prevents it from being maintained as a
separate extension, outside of core.

Previously, these functions were created in a schema "binary_upgrade",
which was deleted after pg_upgrade was finished. Because we don't want
to keep that schema around permanently, move them to pg_catalog but
rename them with a binary_upgrade_... prefix.
The provided functions are only small wrappers around global variables
that were added specifically for pg_upgrade use, so keeping the module
separate does not create any modularity.
The functions still check that they are only called in binary upgrade
mode, so it is not possible to call these during normal operation.

This is advance preparation for introducing even more test modules; the
easy solution is to add them to contrib, but that's bloated enough that
it seems a good time to think of something different.
Moved modules are dummy_seclabel, test_shm_mq, test_parser and
worker_spi.
(test_decoding was also a candidate, but there was too much opposition
to moving that one. We can always reconsider later.)

Allow the contrib/uuid-ossp extension to be built atop any one of these
three popular UUID libraries. (The extension's name is now arguably a
misnomer, but we'll keep it the same so as not to cause unnecessary
compatibility issues for users.)
We would not normally consider a change like this post-beta1, but the issue
has been forced by our upgrade to autoconf 2.69, whose more rigorous header
checks are causing OSSP's header files to be rejected on some platforms.
It's been foreseen for some time that we'd have to move away from depending
on OSSP UUID due to lack of upstream maintenance, so this is a down payment
on that problem.
While at it, add some simple regression tests, in hopes of catching any
major incompatibilities between the three implementations.

This feature, building on previous commits, allows the write-ahead log
stream to be decoded into a series of logical changes; that is,
inserts, updates, and deletes and the transactions which contain them.
It is capable of handling decoding even across changes to the schema
of the effected tables. The output format is controlled by a
so-called "output plugin"; an example is included. To make use of
this in a real replication system, the output plugin will need to be
modified to produce output in the format appropriate to that system,
and to perform filtering.
Currently, information can be extracted from the logical decoding
system only via SQL; future commits will add the ability to stream
changes via walsender.

This code is intended as a demonstration of how the dynamic shared
memory and dynamic background worker facilities can be used to establish
a group of coooperating processes which can coordinate their activities
using the shared memory message queue facility. By itself, the code
does nothing particularly interesting: it simply allows messages to
be passed through a loop of workers and back to the original process.
But it's a useful unit test, in addition to its demonstration value.

Background workers are postmaster subprocesses that run arbitrary
user-specified code. They can request shared memory access as well as
backend database connections; or they can just use plain libpq frontend
database connections.
Modules listed in shared_preload_libraries can register background
workers in their _PG_init() function; this is early enough that it's not
necessary to provide an extra GUC option, because the necessary extra
resources can be allocated early on. Modules can install more than one
bgworker, if necessary.
Care is taken that these extra processes do not interfere with other
postmaster tasks: only one such process is started on each ServerLoop
iteration. This means a large number of them could be waiting to be
started up and postmaster is still able to quickly service external
connection requests. Also, shutdown sequence should not be impacted by
a worker process that's reasonably well behaved (i.e. promptly responds
to termination signals.)
The current implementation lets worker processes specify their start
time, i.e. at what point in the server startup process they are to be
started: right after postmaster start (in which case they mustn't ask
for shared memory access), when consistent state has been reached
(useful during recovery in a HOT standby server), or when recovery has
terminated (i.e. when normal backends are allowed).
In case of a bgworker crash, actions to take depend on registration
data: if shared memory was requested, then all other connections are
taken down (as well as other bgworkers), just like it were a regular
backend crashing. The bgworker itself is restarted, too, within a
configurable timeframe (which can be configured to be never).
More features to add to this framework can be imagined without much
effort, and have been discussed, but this seems good enough as a useful
unit already.
An elementary sample module is supplied.

Certain subdirectories do not get built if corresponding options are not
selected at configure time. However, "make distprep" should visit such
directories anyway, so that constructing derived files to be included in
the tarball happens without requiring all configure options to be given
in the tarball build script. Likewise, it's better if cleanup actions
unconditionally visit all directories (for example, this ensures proper
cleanup if someone has done a manual make in such a subdirectory).
To handle this, set up a convention that subdirectories that are
conditionally included in SUBDIRS should be added to ALWAYS_SUBDIRS
instead when they are excluded.
Back-patch to 9.1, so that plpython's spiexceptions.h will get provided
in 9.1 tarballs. There don't appear to be any instances where distprep
actions got missed in previous releases, and anyway this fix requires
gmake 3.80 so we don't want to apply it before 9.1.
