promoting the standby to new master, we can restart the stopped

walreceiver can detect the closure of connection and exit. We cannot

so we didn't think hard about how to report it. But it definitely can
happen in 9.2 and later, since we no longer require search_path to contain
any valid schema names. It's probably also possible in 9.1 if search_path
came from a noninteractive source. So, back-patch to all releases
containing this code.
Per report from Sean Chittenden, though this isn't exactly his patch.

Add ARM64 (aarch64) support to s_lock.h.
Use the same gcc atomic functions as we do on newer ARM chips.
(Basically this is a copy and paste of the __arm__ code block,
but omitting the SWPB option since that definitely won't work.)
Back-patch to 9.2. The patch would work further back, but we'd also
need to update config.guess/config.sub in older branches to make them
build out-of-the-box, and there hasn't been demand for it.

Fix memory leak in LogStandbySnapshot().
The array allocated by GetRunningTransactionLocks() needs to be pfree'd
when we're done with it. Otherwise we leak some memory during each
checkpoint, if wal_level = hot_standby. This manifests as memory bloat
in the checkpointer process, or in bgwriter in versions before we made
the checkpointer separate.
Reported and fixed by Naoya Anzai. Back-patch to 9.0 where the issue
was introduced.
In passing, improve comments for GetRunningTransactionLocks(), and add
an Assert that we didn't overrun the palloc'd array.

Add semicolons to eval'd strings to hide a minor Perl behavioral change.
"eval q{foo}" used to complain that the error was on line 2 of the eval'd
string, because eval internally tacked on "\n;" so that the end of the
erroneous command was indeed on line 2. But as of Perl 5.18 it more
sanely says that the error is on line 1. To avoid Perl-version-dependent
regression test results, use "eval q{foo;}" instead in the two places
where this matters. Per buildfarm.
Since people might try to use newer Perl versions with older PG releases,
back-patch as far as 9.0 where these test cases were added.
Erik Rijkers reported back in January 2013 that after the patch, if you do
"pg_dump -t myschema.mytable" to dump a single table, and restore that in
a database where myschema does not exist, the table is silently created in
pg_catalog instead. That is because pg_dump uses
"SET search_path=myschema, pg_catalog" to set schema the table is created
in. While allow_system_table_mods is not a very elegant solution to this,
we can't leave it as it is, so for now, revert it back to the way it was
previously.
Code review of recycling WAL segments in a restartpoint.
Seems cleaner to get the currently-replayed TLI in the same call to
GetXLogReplayRecPtr that we get the WAL position. Make it more clear in the
comment what the code does when recovery has already ended
(RecoveryInProgress() will set ThisTimeLineID in that case). Finally, make
resetting ThisTimeLineID afterwards more explicit.

Allow type_func_name_keywords in some places where they weren't before.
This change makes type_func_name_keywords less reserved than they were
before, by allowing them for role names, language names, EXPLAIN and COPY
options, and SET values for GUCs; which are all places where few if any
actual keywords could appear instead, so no new ambiguities are introduced.
The main driver for this change is to allow "COPY ... (FORMAT BINARY)"
to work without quoting the word "binary". That is an inconsistency that
has been complained of repeatedly over the years (at least by Pavel Golub,
Kurt Lidl, and Simon Riggs); but we hadn't thought of any non-ugly solution
until now.
Back-patch to 9.0 where the COPY (FORMAT BINARY) syntax was introduced.
