Enable transforms tests for python 2 on MSVC builds
Currently regression tests for python 3 are disabled on MSVC, and these
tests fail with python 3, too, so we have some work to do to enable
both. Meanwhile, all the buildfarm hosts seem to be building with python
2 anyway, so this at least gets us some coverage.
Original patch from Michael Paquier, significantly modified by me.
When implementing a replication solution ontop of logical decoding, two
related problems exist:
* How to safely keep track of replication progress
* How to change replication behavior, based on the origin of a row;
e.g. to avoid loops in bi-directional replication setups
The solution to these problems, as implemented here, consist out of
three parts:
1) 'replication origins', which identify nodes in a replication setup.
2) 'replication progress tracking', which remembers, for each
replication origin, how far replay has progressed in a efficient and
crash safe manner.
3) The ability to filter out changes performed on the behest of a
replication origin during logical decoding; this allows complex
replication topologies. E.g. by filtering all replayed changes out.
Most of this could also be implemented in "userspace", e.g. by inserting
additional rows contain origin information, but that ends up being much
less efficient and more complicated. We don't want to require various
replication solutions to reimplement logic for this independently. The
infrastructure is intended to be generic enough to be reusable.
This infrastructure also replaces the 'nodeid' infrastructure of commit
timestamps. It is intended to provide all the former capabilities,
except that there's only 2^16 different origins; but now they integrate
with logical decoding. Additionally more functionality is accessible via
SQL. Since the commit timestamp infrastructure has also been introduced
in 9.5 (commit 73c986add) changing the API is not a problem.
For now the number of origins for which the replication progress can be
tracked simultaneously is determined by the max_replication_slots
GUC. That GUC is not a perfect match to configure this, but there
doesn't seem to be sufficient reason to introduce a separate new one.
Bumps both catversion and wal page magic.

Fix MSVC builds for contrib transforms modules.
With this patch the MSVC build and installation will work correctly with
the transforms. However the python transform tests for hstore and ltree
are still disabled pending some further adjustments.
Multixact member files are subject to early wraparound overflow and
removal: if the average multixact size is above a certain threshold (see
note below) the protections against offset overflow are not enough:
during multixact truncation at checkpoint time, some
pg_multixact/members files would be removed because the server considers
them to be old and not needed anymore. This leads to loss of files that
are critical to interpret existing tuples's Xmax values.
To protect against this, since we don't have enough info in pg_control
and we can't modify it in old branches, we maintain shared memory state
about the oldest value that we need to keep; we use this during new
multixact creation to abort if an old still-needed file would get
overwritten. This value is kept up to date by checkpoints, which makes
it not completely accurate but should be good enough. We start emitting
warnings sometime earlier, so that the eventual multixact-shutdown
doesn't take DBAs completely by surprise (more precisely: once 20
members SLRU segments are remaining before shutdown.)
On troublesome average multixact size: The threshold size depends on the
multixact freeze parameters. The oldest age is related to the greater of
multixact_freeze_table_age and multixact_freeze_min_age: anything
older than that should be removed promptly by autovacuum. If autovacuum
is keeping up with multixact freezing, the troublesome multixact average
size is
(2^32-1) / Max(freeze table age, freeze min age)
or around 28 members per multixact. Having an average multixact size
larger than that will eventually cause new multixact data to overwrite
the data area for older multixacts. (If autovacuum is not able to keep
up, or there are errors in vacuuming, the actual maximum is
multixact_freeeze_max_age instead, at which point multixact generation
is stopped completely. The default value for this limit is 400 million,
which means that the multixact size that would cause trouble is about 10
members).

Improve qual pushdown for RLS and SB views
The original security barrier view implementation, on which RLS is
built, prevented all non-leakproof functions from being pushed down to
below the view, even when the function was not receiving any data from
the view. This optimization improves on that situation by, instead of
checking strictly for non-leakproof functions, it checks for Vars being
passed to non-leakproof functions and allows functions which do not
accept arguments or whose arguments are not from the current query level
(eg: constants can be particularly useful) to be pushed down.
As discussed, this does mean that a function which is pushed down might
gain some idea that there are rows meeting a certain criteria based on
the number of times the function is called, but this isn't a
particularly new issue and the documentation in rules.sgml already
addressed similar covert-channel risks. That documentation is updated
to reflect that non-leakproof functions may be pushed down now, if
they meet the above-described criteria.

RLS fixes, new hooks, and new test module
In prepend_row_security_policies(), defaultDeny was always true, so if
there were any hook policies, the RLS policies on the table would just
get discarded. Fixed to start off with defaultDeny as false and then
properly set later if we detect that only the default deny policy exists
for the internal policies.
The infinite recursion detection in fireRIRrules() didn't properly
manage the activeRIRs list in the case of WCOs, so it would incorrectly
report infinite recusion if the same relation with RLS appeared more
than once in the rtable, for example "UPDATE t ... FROM t ...".
Further, the RLS expansion code in fireRIRrules() was handling RLS in
the main loop through the rtable, which lead to RTEs being visited twice
if they contained sublink subqueries, which
prepend_row_security_policies() attempted to handle by exiting early if
the RTE already had securityQuals. That doesn't work, however, since
if the query involved a security barrier view on top of a table with
RLS, the RTE would already have securityQuals (from the view) by the
time fireRIRrules() was invoked, and so the table's RLS policies would
be ignored. This is fixed in fireRIRrules() by handling RLS in a
separate loop at the end, after dealing with any other sublink
subqueries, thus ensuring that each RTE is only visited once for RLS
expansion.
The inheritance planner code didn't correctly handle non-target
relations with RLS, which would get turned into subqueries during
planning. Thus an update of the form "UPDATE t1 ... FROM t2 ..." where
t1 has inheritance and t2 has RLS quals would fail. Fix by making sure
to copy in and update the securityQuals when they exist for non-target
relations.
process_policies() was adding WCOs to non-target relations, which is
unnecessary, and could lead to a lot of wasted time in the rewriter and
the planner. Fix by only adding WCO policies when working on the result
relation. Also in process_policies, we should be copying the USING
policies to the WITH CHECK policies on a per-policy basis, fix by moving
the copying up into the per-policy loop.
Lastly, as noted by Dean, we were simply adding policies returned by the
hook provided to the list of quals being AND'd, meaning that they would
actually restrict records returned and there was no option to have
internal policies and hook-based policies work together permissively (as
all internal policies currently work). Instead, explicitly add support
for both permissive and restrictive policies by having a hook for each
and combining the results appropriately. To ensure this is all done
correctly, add a new test module (test_rls_hooks) to test the various
combinations of internal, permissive, and restrictive hook policies.

record, matches the last checkpoint's redo pointer. That way it's not
dependent on the size of the checkpoint record at all.
The old logic was actually slightly wrong all along: if the previous
checkpoint record crossed a page boundary, the page headers threw off the
record size calculation, and the checkpoint was not skipped. The new
checkpoint would not cross a page boundary, so this only resulted in at
most one extra checkpoint after the system became idle. The new logic fixes
that. (It's not worth fixing in backbranches).
However, it makes some sense to try to keep the latest checkpoint contained
fully in a page, or at least in a single WAL segment, just on general
robustness grounds. If something goes awfully wrong, it's more likely that
you can recover the latest WAL segment, than the last two WAL segments. So

Optimize pg_comp_crc32c_sse42 routine slightly, and also use it on x86.
Eliminate the separate 'len' variable from the loops, and also use the 4
byte instruction. This shaves off a few more cycles. Even though this
routine that uses the special SSE 4.2 instructions is much faster than a
generic routine, it's still a hot spot, so let's make it as fast as
possible.
Change the configure test to not test _mm_crc32_u64. That variant is only

pg_comp_crc32c_sse42 so that it only uses _mm_crc32_u64 on x86-64. With
these changes, the SSE accelerated CRC-32C implementation can also be used
on 32-bit x86 systems.
Try to fix the CRC-32C autoconf magic for icc compiler.
On gcc and clang, the _mm_crc32_u8 and _mm_crc32_u64 intrinsics are not
defined at all, when not building with -msse4.2. But on icc, they are.
So we cannot assume that if those intrinsics are defined, we can always use
them safely, we might still need the runtime check.
To fix, check if the __SSE_4_2__ preprocessor symbol is defined. That's
supposed to be defined only when the compiler is targeting a processor that
has SSE 4.2 support.

Use Intel SSE 4.2 CRC instructions where available.
Modern x86 and x86-64 processors with SSE 4.2 support have special
instructions, crc32b and crc32q, for calculating CRC-32C. They greatly
speed up CRC calculation.
Whether the instructions can be used or not depends on the compiler and the
target architecture. If generation of SSE 4.2 instructions is allowed for
the target (-msse4.2 flag on gcc and clang), use them. If they are not
allowed by default, but the compiler supports the -msse4.2 flag to enable
them, compile just the CRC-32C function with -msse4.2 flag, and check at
runtime whether the processor we're running on supports it. If it doesn't,
fall back to the slicing-by-8 algorithm. (With the common defaults on
current operating systems, the runtime-check variant is what you get in
practice.)

timeline (or prealloced as zeros). We shouldn't archive such files.
This could happen when we're following a timeline switch during replay, or
when we switch to new timeline at end-of-recovery.
To fix, whenever we switch to a new timeline, scan the data directory for
WAL segments on the old timeline, but with a higher segment number, and
remove them. Those don't belong to our timeline history, and are most
likely bogus recycled or preallocated files. They could also be valid files
that we streamed from the primary ahead of time, but in any case, they're
not needed to recover to the new timeline.
Silence gettext warning about '\r' escape sequence in translatable string.
gettext was unhappy about the commit b216ad7 because it revealed
the problem that internationalized messages may contain '\r' escape
sequence in pg_rewind. This commit moves '\r' to a separate printf() call.

Optimize locking a tuple already locked by another subxact
Locking and updating the same tuple repeatedly led to some strange
multixacts being created which had several subtransactions of the same
parent transaction holding locks of the same strength. However,
once a subxact of the current transaction holds a lock of a given
strength, it's not necessary to acquire the same lock again. This made
some coding patterns much slower than required.
The fix is twofold. First we change HeapTupleSatisfiesUpdate to return
HeapTupleBeingUpdated for the case where the current transaction is
already a single-xid locker for the given tuple; it used to return
HeapTupleMayBeUpdated for that case. The new logic is simpler, and the
change to pgrowlocks is a testament to that: previously we needed to
check for the single-xid locker separately in a very ugly way. That
test is simpler now.
As fallout from the HTSU change, some of its callers need to be amended
so that tuple-locked-by-own-transaction is taken into account in the
BeingUpdated case rather than the MayBeUpdated case. For many of them
there is no difference; but heap_delete() and heap_update now check
explicitely and do not grab tuple lock in that case.
The HTSU change also means that routine MultiXactHasRunningRemoteMembers
introduced in commit 11ac4c73cb895 is no longer necessary and can be
removed; the case that used to require it is now handled naturally as
result of the changes to heap_delete and heap_update.
The second part of the fix to the performance issue is to adjust
heap_lock_tuple to avoid the slowness:
1. Previously we checked for the case that our own transaction already
held a strong enough lock and returned MayBeUpdated, but only in the
multixact case. Now we do it for the plain Xid case as well, which
saves having to LockTuple.
2. If the current transaction is the only locker of the tuple (but with
a lock not as strong as what we need; otherwise it would have been
caught in the check mentioned above), we can skip sleeping on the
multixact, and instead go straight to create an updated multixact with
the additional lock strength.
3. Most importantly, make sure that both the single-xid-locker case and
the multixact-locker case optimization are applied always. We do this
by checking both in a single place, rather than them appearing in two
separate portions of the routine -- something that is made possible by
the HeapTupleSatisfiesUpdate API change. Previously we would only check
for the single-xid case when HTSU returned MayBeUpdated, and only
checked for the multixact case when HTSU returned BeingUpdated. This
was at odds with what HTSU actually returned in one case: if our own
transaction was locker in a multixact, it returned MayBeUpdated, so the
optimization never applied. This is what led to the large multixacts in
the first place.
FORCE option has been marked "obsolete" since very old version 7.4
but existed for backwards compatibility. Per discussion on pgsql-hackers,
we concluded that it's no longer worth keeping supporting the option.
Change SQLSTATE for event triggers "wrong context" message
When certain event-trigger-only functions are called when not in the
wrong context, they were reporting the "feature not supported" SQLSTATE,
which is somewhat misleading. Create a new custom error code for such
uses instead.
Not backpatched since it may be seen as an undesirable behavioral
change.

It was previously possible to have the launcher re-execute its main loop
before shutting down if some other signal was received or an error
occurred after getting SIGTERM, as reported by Qingqing Zhou.
While investigating, Tom Lane further noticed that if autovacuum had
been disabled in the config file, it would misbehave by trying to start
a new worker instead of bailing out immediately -- it would consider
itself as invoked in emergency mode.
Fix both problems by checking the shutdown flag in a few more places.
These problems have existed since autovacuum was introduced, so
backpatch all the way back.
