Fix thinko in construction of old_conpfeqop list.
This should lappend the OIDs, not lcons them; the existing code produced
a list in reversed order. This is harmless for single-key FKs or FKs
where all the key columns are of the same type, which probably explains
how it went unnoticed. But if those conditions are not met,
ATAddForeignKeyConstraint would make the wrong decision about whether an
existing FK needs to be revalidated. I think it would almost always err
in the safe direction by revalidating a constraint that didn't need it.
You could imagine scenarios where the pfeqop check was fooled by
swapping the types of two FK columns in one ALTER TABLE, but that case
would probably be rejected by other tests, so it might be impossible to
get to the worst-case scenario where an FK should be revalidated and
isn't. (And even then, it's likely to be fine, unless there are weird
inconsistencies in the equality behavior of the replacement types.)
However, this is a performance bug at least.
Noted while poking around to see whether lcons calls could be converted
to lappend.

Fix pathological nbtree split point choice issue.
Specific ever-decreasing insertion patterns could cause successive
unbalanced nbtree page splits. Problem cases involve a large group of
duplicates to the left, and ever-decreasing insertions to the right.
To fix, detect the situation by considering the newitem offset before
performing a split using nbtsplitloc.c's "many duplicates" strategy. If
the new item was inserted just to the right of our provisional "many
duplicates" split point, infer ever-decreasing insertions and fall back
on a 50:50 (space delta optimal) split. This seems to barely affect
cases that already had acceptable space utilization.
An alternative fix also seems possible. Instead of changing
nbtsplitloc.c split choice logic, we could instead teach _bt_truncate()

lastleft and firstright key values. That would certainly be a more
elegant fix, but it isn't suitable for backpatching.

Fix get_actual_variable_range() to cope with broken HOT chains.
Commit 3ca930fc3 modified get_actual_variable_range() to use a new
"SnapshotNonVacuumable" snapshot type for selecting tuples that it
would consider valid. However, because that snapshot type can accept
recently-dead tuples, this caused a bug when using a recently-created
index: we might accept a recently-dead tuple that is an early member
of a broken HOT chain and does not actually match the index entry.
Then, the data extracted from the heap tuple would not necessarily be
an endpoint value of the column; it could even be NULL, leading to
get_actual_variable_range() itself reporting "found unexpected null
value in index". Even without an error, this could lead to poor
plan choices due to an erroneous notion of the endpoint value.
We can improve matters by changing the code to use the index-only
scan technique (which didn't exist when get_actual_variable_range was
originally written). If any of the tuples in a HOT chain are live
enough to satisfy SnapshotNonVacuumable, we take the data from the
index entry, ignoring what is in the heap. This fixes the problem
without changing the live-vs-dead-tuple behavior from what was
intended by commit 3ca930fc3.
A side benefit is that for static tables we might not have to touch
the heap at all (when the extremal value is in an all-visible page).
In addition, we can save some overhead by not having to create a
complete ExecutorState, and we don't need to run FormIndexDatum,
avoiding more cycles as well as the possibility of failure for
indexes on expressions. (I'm not sure that this code would ever
be used to determine the extreme value of an expression, in the
current state of the planner; but it's definitely possible that
lower-order columns of the selected index could be expressions.
So one could construct perhaps-artificial examples in which the
old code unexpectedly failed due to trying to compute an
expression's value for a now-dead row.)

Fix RANGE partition pruning with multiple boolean partition keys
match_clause_to_partition_key incorrectly would return
PARTCLAUSE_UNSUPPORTED if a bool qual could not be matched to the current
partition key. This was a problem, as it causes the calling function to
discard the qual and not try to match it to any other partition key. If
there was another partition key which did match this qual, then the qual
would not be checked again and we could fail to prune some partitions.
The worst this could do was to cause partitions not to be pruned when they
could have been, so there was no danger of incorrect query results here.
Fix this by changing match_boolean_partition_clause to have it return a
PartClauseMatchStatus rather than a boolean value. This allows it to
communicate if the qual is unsupported or if it just does not match this
particular partition key, previously these two cases were treated the
same. Now, if match_clause_to_partition_key is unable to match the qual
to any other qual type then we can simply return the value from the

RECORDOID could be returned if it had a physically-compatible tupdesc.
This'd be harmless, I think, if the record value never escaped the

that seem unsafe to run against an existing server, such as tests that
might have side-effects on existing roles. Document that (though this
commit doesn't in itself make it any less safe than before).
Update regress.sgml to define these restrictions more clearly, and
to clean up assorted lack-of-up-to-date-ness in its descriptions of
the available regression tests.

Fix regression tests to use only global names beginning with "regress_".
In commit 18555b132 we tentatively established a rule that regression
tests should use names containing "regression" for databases, and names
starting with "regress_" for all other globally-visible object names, so
as to circumscribe the side-effects that "make installcheck" could have on
an existing installation. However, no enforcement mechanism was created,
so it's unsurprising that some new violations have crept in since then.
In fact, a whole new *category* of violations has crept in, to wit we now
also have globally-visible subscription and replication origin names, and
"make installcheck" could very easily clobber user-created objects of
those types. So it's past time to do something about this.
This commit sanitizes the tests enough that they will pass (i.e. not
generate any visible warnings) with the enforcement mechanism I'll add
in the next commit. There are some TAP tests that still trigger the
warnings, but the warnings do not cause test failure. Since these tests
do not actually run against a pre-existing installation, there's no need
to worry whether they could conflict with user-created objects.
The problem with rolenames.sql testing special role names like "user"
is still there, and is dealt with only very cosmetically in this patch
(by hiding the warnings :-(). What we actually need to do to be safe is
to take that test script out of "make installcheck" altogether, but that
seems like material for a separate patch.

Disallow user-created replication origins named "pg_xxx".
Since we generate such names internally, it seems like a good idea
to have a policy of disallowing them for user use, as we do for many
other object types. Otherwise attempts to use them will randomly
fail due to collisions with internally-generated names.

Fix for dropped columns in a partitioned table's default partition
We forgot to map column numbers to/from the default partition for
various operations, leading to valid cases failing with spurious
errors, such as
ERROR: attribute N of type some_partition has been dropped
It was also possible that the search for conflicting rows in the default
partition when attaching another partition would fail to detect some.
Secondarily, it was also possible that such a search should be skipped
(because the constraint was implied) but wasn't.
Fix all this by mapping column numbers when necessary.

Fix partitioned index creation with foreign partitions
When a partitioned tables contains foreign tables as partitions, it is
not possible to implement unique or primary key indexes -- but when
regular indexes are created, there is no reason to do anything other
than ignoring such partitions. We were raising errors upon encountering
the foreign partitions, which is unfriendly and doesn't protect against
any actual problems.
Relax this restriction so that index creation is allowed on partitioned
tables containing foreign partitions, becoming a no-op on them. (We may
later want to redefine this so that the FDW is told to create the
indexes on the foreign side.) This applies to CREATE INDEX, as well as
ALTER TABLE / ATTACH PARTITION and CREATE TABLE / PARTITION OF.

Add support for OpenSSL 1.1.0 and newer versions in MSVC scripts
Up to now, the MSVC build scripts are able to support only one fixed
version of OpenSSL, and they lacked logic to detect the version of
OpenSSL a given compilation of Postgres is linking to (currently 1.0.2,
the latest LTS of upstream which will be EOL'd at the end of 2019).
This commit adds more logic to detect the version of OpenSSL used by a
build and makes use of it to add support for compilation with OpenSSL
1.1.0 which requires a new set of compilation flags to work properly.
The supported OpenSSL installers have changed their library layer with
various library renames with the upgrade to 1.1.0, making the logic a
bit more complicated. The scripts are now able to adapt to the new

Purely-cosmetic adjustments in tablecmds.c.

Further fix ALTER COLUMN TYPE's handling of indexes and index constraints.
This patch reverts all the code changes of commit e76de8861, which turns
out to have been seriously misguided. We can't wait till later to compute
the definition string for an index; we must capture that before applying
the data type change for any column it depends on, else ruleutils.c will
deliverr wrong/misleading results. (This fine point was documented
nowhere, of course.)
I'd also managed to forget that ATExecAlterColumnType executes once per
ALTER COLUMN TYPE clause, not once per statement; which resulted in the
code being basically completely broken for any case in which multiple ALTER
COLUMN TYPE clauses are applied to a table having non-constraint indexes
that must be rebuilt. Through very bad luck, none of the existing test
cases nor the ones added by e76de8861 caught that, but of course it was
soon found in the field.
The previous patch also had an implicit assumption that if a constraint's
index had a dependency on a table column, so would the constraint --- but
that isn't actually true, so it didn't fix such cases.
Instead of trying to delete unneeded index dependencies later, do the
is-there-a-constraint lookup immediately on seeing an index dependency,
and switch to remembering the constraint if so. In the unusual case of
multiple column dependencies for a constraint index, this will result in
duplicate constraint lookups, but that's not that horrible compared to all
the other work that happens here. Besides, such cases did not work at all
before, so it's hard to argue that they're performance-critical for anyone.

Add security checks to the multivariate MCV estimation code.
The multivariate MCV estimation code may run user-defined operators on
the values in the MCV list, which means that those operators may
potentially leak the values from the MCV list. Guard against leaking
data to unprivileged users by checking that the user has SELECT
privileges on the table or all of the columns referred to by the
statistics.
Additionally, if there are any securityQuals on the RTE (either due to
RLS policies on the table, or accessing the table via a security
barrier view), not all rows may be visible to the current user, even
if they have table or column privileges. Thus we further insist that
the operator be leakproof in this case.

Fix spinlock assembly code for MIPS so it works on MIPS r6.
Original MIPS-I processors didn't have the LL/SC instructions (nor any
other userland synchronization primitive). If the build toolchain
targets that ISA variant by default, as an astonishingly large fraction
of MIPS platforms still do, the assembler won't take LL/SC without
coercion in the form of a ".set mips2" instruction. But we issued that
unconditionally, making it an ISA downgrade for chips later than MIPS2.
That breaks things for the latest MIPS r6 ISA, which encodes these
instructions differently. Adjust the code so we don't change ISA level
if it's >= 2.
Note that this patch doesn't change what happens on an actual MIPS-I
processor: either the kernel will emulate these instructions
transparently, or you'll get a SIGILL failure. That tradeoff seemed
fine in 2002 when this code was added (cf 3cbe6b247), and it's even
more so today when MIPS-I is basically extinct. But let's add a
comment about that.
