If backup-end record is not seen, and we reach end of recovery from a
streamed backup, throw an error and refuse to start up. The restore has not
finished correctly in that case and the data directory is possibly corrupt.
We already errored out in case of archive recovery, but could not during
crash recovery because we couldn't distinguish between the case that
pg_start_backup() was called and the database then crashed (must not error,
data is OK), and the case that we're restoring from a backup and not all
the needed WAL was replayed (data can be corrupt).
To distinguish those cases, add a line to backup_label to indicate
whether the backup was taken with pg_start/stop_backup(), or by streaming

Forget about targeting catalog cache invalidations by tuple TID.
The TID isn't stable enough: we might queue an sinval event before a VACUUM
FULL, and then process it afterwards, when the target tuple no longer has
the same TID. So we must invalidate entries on the basis of hash value
only. The old coding can be shown to result in various bizarre,
hard-to-reproduce errors in the presence of concurrent VACUUM FULLs on
system catalogs, and could easily result in permanent catalog corruption,
up to and including complete loss of tables.
This commit is just a minimal fix that removes the unsafe comparison.
We should remove transmission of the tuple TID from sinval messages
altogether, and then arrange to suppress the extra message in the common
case of a heap_update that doesn't change the key hashvalue. But that's
going to be much more invasive, and will only produce a probably-marginal
performance gain, so it doesn't seem like material for a back-patch.
Back-patch to 9.0. Before that, VACUUM FULL refused to do any tuple moving
if it found any INSERT_IN_PROGRESS or DELETE_IN_PROGRESS tuples (and
CLUSTER would give up altogether), so there was no risk of moving a tuple
that might be the subject of an unsent sinval message.

Fix incorrect order of operations during sinval reset processing.
We have to be sure that we have revalidated each nailed-in-cache relcache
entry before we try to use it to load data for some other relcache entry.
The introduction of "mapped relations" in 9.0 broke this, because although
we updated the state kept in relmapper.c early enough, we failed to
propagate that information into relcache entries soon enough; in
particular, we could try to fetch pg_class rows out of pg_class before
we'd updated its relcache entry's rd_node.relNode value from the map.
This bug accounts for Dave Gould's report of failures after "vacuum full
pg_class", and I believe that there is risk for other system catalogs
as well.
The core part of the fix is to copy relmapper data into the relcache
entries during "phase 1" in RelationCacheInvalidate(), before they'll be
used in "phase 2". To try to future-proof the code against other similar
bugs, I also rearranged the order in which nailed relations are visited
during phase 2: now it's pg_class first, then pg_class_oid_index, then
other nailed relations. This should ensure that RelationClearRelation can
apply RelationReloadIndexInfo to all nailed indexes without risking use
of not-yet-revalidated relcache entries.

Preserve toast value OIDs in toast-swap-by-content for CLUSTER/VACUUM FULL.
This works around the problem that a catalog cache entry might contain a
toast pointer that we try to dereference just as a VACUUM FULL completes
on that catalog. We will see the sinval message on the cache entry when
we acquire lock on the toast table, but by that point we've already told
tuptoaster.c "here's the pointer to fetch", so it's difficult from a code
structural standpoint to update the pointer before we use it. Much less
painful to ensure that toast pointers are not invalidated in the first
place. We have to add a bit of code to deal with the case that a value
that previously wasn't toasted becomes so; but that should be a
seldom-exercised corner case, so the inefficiency shouldn't be significant.

The statement start timestamp was not set before initiating the transaction

In consequence, enable_sig_alarm computed a wrong value (far in the past)

is the same as the parent of the current page (or some page to the right of
it, gistFindCorrectParent() will sort that out).
Secondly, when we follow a right-link, we must prepend, not append, the right
page to our list of pages to visit. That's because we assume that once we
hit a leaf page in the list, all the rest are leaf pages too, and give up.
To hit these bugs, you need concurrent actions and several unlucky accidents.
Another backend must split the root page, while you're in process of
splitting a lower-level page. Furthermore, while you scan the internal nodes
to re-find the parent, another backend needs to again split some more internal
pages. Even then, the bugs don't necessarily manifest as user-visible errors

As noted by Laurenz Albe, our SGML tools deal rather oddly with chapters
having just one <sect1>. Perhaps the tooling could be fixed, but really
the design of this chapter's introduction is pretty bogus anyhow. Split
it into a true introduction and a <sect1> about the FDW functions, so
that it reads better and dodges the lack-of-a-chapter-TOC problem.

Fix psql's counting of script file line numbers during COPY.
handleCopyIn incremented pset.lineno for each line of COPY data read from
a file. This is correct when reading from the current script file (i.e.,
we are doing COPY FROM STDIN followed by in-line data), but it's wrong if
the data is coming from some other file. Per bug #6083 from Steve Haslam.
Back-patch to all supported versions.
