Allow multi-inserts during COPY into a partitioned table
CopyFrom allows multi-inserts to be used for non-partitioned tables, but
this was disabled for partitioned tables. The reason for this appeared
to be that the tuple may not belong to the same partition as the
previous tuple did. Not allowing multi-inserts here greatly slowed down
imports into partitioned tables. These could take twice as long as a
copy to an equivalent non-partitioned table. It seems wise to do
something about this, so this change allows the multi-inserts by
flushing the so-far inserted tuples to the partition when the next tuple
does not belong to the same partition, or when the buffer fills. This
improves performance when the next tuple in the stream commonly belongs
to the same partition as the previous tuple.
In cases where the target partition changes on every tuple, using
multi-inserts slightly slows the performance. To get around this we
track the average size of the batches that have been inserted and
adaptively enable or disable multi-inserts based on the size of the
batch. Some testing was done and the regression only seems to exist
when the average size of the insert batch is close to 1, so let's just
enable multi-inserts when the average size is at least 1.3. More
performance testing might reveal a better number for, this, but since
the slowdown was only 1-2% it does not seem critical enough to spend too
much time calculating it. In any case it may depend on other factors
rather than just the size of the batch.
Allowing multi-inserts for partitions required a bit of work around the
per-tuple memory contexts as we must flush the tuples when the next
tuple does not belong the same partition. In which case there is no
good time to reset the per-tuple context, as we've already built the new
tuple by this time. In order to work around this we maintain two
per-tuple contexts and just switch between them every time the partition
changes and reset the old one. This does mean that the first of each
batch of tuples is not allocated in the same memory context as the
others, but that does not matter since we only reset the context once
the previous batch has been inserted.

Further fixes for quoted-list GUC values in pg_dump and ruleutils.c.
Commits 742869946 et al turn out to be a couple bricks shy of a load.
We were dumping the stored values of GUC_LIST_QUOTE variables as they
appear in proconfig or setconfig catalog columns. However, although that
quoting rule looks a lot like SQL-identifier double quotes, there are two
critical differences: empty strings ("") are legal, and depending on which
variable you're considering, values longer than NAMEDATALEN might be valid
too. So the current technique fails altogether on empty-string list
entries (as reported by Steven Winfield in bug #15248) and it also risks
truncating file pathnames during dump/reload of GUC values that are lists
of pathnames.
To fix, split the stored value without any downcasing or truncation,
and then emit each element as a SQL string literal.
This is a tad annoying, because we now have three copies of the
comma-separated-string splitting logic in varlena.c as well as a fourth
one in dumputils.c. (Not to mention the randomly-different-from-those
splitting logic in libpq...) I looked at unifying these, but it would
be rather a mess unless we're willing to tweak the API definitions of
SplitIdentifierString, SplitDirectoriesString, or both. That might be
worth doing in future; but it seems pretty unsafe for a back-patched
bug fix, so for now accept the duplication.

Change bms_add_range to be a no-op for empty ranges

further verification on the arguments or result can apply them by

* Eliminate SQL-level function calls.
* Re-use more functions to implement others.
* Unify internal function names and signatures.
* Remove private functions from geo_decls.h.
* Replace should-not-happen checks with assertions.
* Add comments describe for various functions.
* Remove some unreachable code.
* Define delimiter symbols of line datatype like the other ones.
* Remove the GEODEBUG macro and printf() calls.
* Unify code style of a few oddly formatted lines.

Add toast tables to most system catalogs
It has been project policy to create toast tables only for those catalogs
that might reasonably need one. Since this judgment call can change over
time, just create one for every catalog, as this can be useful when
creating rather-long entries in catalogs, with recent examples being in
the shape of policy expressions or customly-formatted SCRAM verifiers.
To prevent circular dependencies and to avoid adding complexity to VACUUM
FULL logic, exclude pg_class, pg_attribute, and pg_index. Also, to
prevent pg_upgrade from seeing a non-empty new cluster, exclude
pg_largeobject and pg_largeobject_metadata from the set as large object
data is handled as user data. Those relations have no reason to use a
toast table anyway.

Fix pg_get_indexdef()'s behavior for included index columns.
The multi-argument form of pg_get_indexdef() failed to print anything when
asked to print a single index column that is an included column rather than

To fix, split said flag into two flags, attrsOnly which suppresses
non-attribute info, and keysOnly which suppresses included columns.
Add a test case using psql's \d command, which relies on that function.

Remove race-prone hot_standby_feedback test cases in 001_stream_rep.pl.
This script supposed that if it turned hot_standby_feedback on and then

guarantee, if the standby's walreceiver process is slow enough --- and
we've seen multiple failures in the buildfarm showing that that does

shutdown commands. It seems better instead to remove the script's

Drop the rule against included index columns duplicating key columns.
The initial version of the included-index-column feature stated that
included columns couldn't be the same as any key column of the index.
While it'd be pretty silly to do that, since the included column would be
entirely redundant, we've never prohibited redundant index columns before
so it's not very consistent to do so here. Moreover, the prohibition
was itself badly implemented, so that it failed to reject columns that
were effectively identical but not spelled quite alike, as reported by
Aditya Toshniwal.
(Moreover, it's not hard to imagine that for some non-btree index types,
such cases would be non-silly anyhow: the index might use a lossy
representation for key columns but be able to support retrieval of the
original form of included columns.)

Use a ResourceOwner to track buffer pins in all cases.
Historically, we've allowed auxiliary processes to take buffer pins without
tracking them in a ResourceOwner. However, that creates problems for error
recovery. In particular, we've seen multiple reports of assertion crashes
in the startup process when it gets an error while holding a buffer pin,
as for example if it gets ENOSPC during a write. In a non-assert build,
the process would simply exit without releasing the pin at all. We've
gotten away with that so far just because a failure exit of the startup
process translates to a database crash anyhow; but any similar behavior
in other aux processes could result in stuck pins and subsequent problems
in vacuum.
To improve this, institute a policy that we must *always* have a resowner
backing any attempt to pin a buffer, which we can enforce just by removing
the previous special-case code in resowner.c. Add infrastructure to make
it easy to create a process-lifespan AuxProcessResourceOwner and clear
out its contents at appropriate times. Replace existing ad-hoc resowner
management in bgwriter.c and other aux processes with that. (Thus, while
the startup process gains a resowner where it had none at all before, some
other aux process types are replacing an ad-hoc resowner with this code.)
Also use the AuxProcessResourceOwner to manage buffer pins taken during
StartupXLOG and ShutdownXLOG, even when those are being run in a bootstrap
process or a standalone backend rather than a true auxiliary process.
In passing, remove some other ad-hoc resource owner creations that had
gotten cargo-culted into various other places. As far as I can tell
that was all unnecessary, and if it had been necessary it was incomplete,
due to lacking any provision for clearing those resowners later.
(Also worth noting in this connection is that a process that hasn't called
InitBufferPoolBackend has no business accessing buffers; so there's more
to do than just add the resowner if we want to touch buffers in processes
not covered by this patch.)
Although this fixes a very old bug, no back-patch, because there's no
evidence of any significant problem in non-assert builds.

Rework error messages around file handling
Some error messages related to file handling are using the code path
context to define their state. For example, 2PC-related errors are
referring to "two-phase status files", or "relation mapping file" is
used for catalog-to-filenode mapping, however those prove to be
difficult to translate, and are not more helpful than just referring to
the path of the file being worked on. So simplify all those error
messages by just referring to files with their path used. In some
cases, like the manipulation of WAL segments, the context is actually
helpful so those are kept.
Calls to the system function read() have also been rather inconsistent
with their error handling sometimes not reporting the number of bytes
read, and some other code paths trying to use an errno which has not
been set. The in-core functions are using a more consistent pattern
with this patch, which checks for both errno if set or if an
inconsistent read is happening.
So as to care about pluralization when reading an unexpected number of
byte(s), "could not read: read %d of %zu" is used as error message, with
%d field being the output result of read() and %zu the expected size.
This simplifies the work of translators with less variations of the same
message.

Improve performance of tuple conversion map generation
Previously convert_tuples_by_name_map naively performed a search of each
outdesc column starting at the first column in indesc and searched each
indesc column until a match was found. When partitioned tables had many
columns this could result in slow generation of the tuple conversion maps.
For INSERT and UPDATE statements that touched few rows, this could mean a
very large overhead indeed.
We can do a bit better with this loop. It's quite likely that the columns
in partitioned tables and their partitions are in the same order, so it
makes sense to start searching for each column outer column at the inner
column position 1 after where the previous match was found (per idea from
Alexander Kuzmenkov). This makes the best case search O(N) instead of
O(N^2). The worst case is still O(N^2), but it seems unlikely that would
happen.
Likewise, in the planner, make_inh_translation_list's search for the
matching column could often end up falling back on an O(N^2) type search.
This commit also improves that by first checking the column that follows
the previous match, instead of the column with the same attnum. If we
fail to match here we fallback on the syscache's hashtable lookup.

Fix inadequate buffer locking in FSM and VM page re-initialization.

concurrently do PageInit, which in itself would still be OK, but the slower
one might then zero over subsequent data changes applied by the faster one.
