71b121f425 Fix pg_dump's sigTermHandler() to use _exit() not exit().
sigTermHandler() tried to be careful to invoke only operations that
are safe to do in a signal handler.  But for some reason we forgot
that exit(3) is not among those, because it calls atexit handlers
that might do various random things.  (pg_dump itself installs no
atexit handlers, but e.g. OpenSSL does.)  That led to crashes or
lockups when attempting to terminate a parallel dump or restore
via a signal.

Fix by calling _exit() instead.

Per bug #16199 from Raúl Marín.  Back-patch to all supported branches.

ca27a84c98 Stabilize pg_dump output order for similarly-named triggers and policies.
The code only compared two triggers' names and namespaces (the latter
being the owning table's schema).  This could result in falling back
to an OID-based sort of similarly-named triggers on different tables.
We prefer to avoid that, so add a comparison of the table names too.
(The sort order is thus table namespace, trigger name, table name,
which is a bit odd, but it doesn't seem worth contorting the code
to work around that.)

Likewise for policy objects, in 9.5 and up.

Complaint and fix by Benjie Gillam.  Back-patch to all supported

b304b2b65f Fix parallel restore of FKs to partitioned tables
When an FK constraint is created, it needs the index on the referenced
table to exist and be valid.  When doing parallel pg_restore and the
referenced table was partitioned, this condition can sometimes not be
met, because pg_dump didn't emit sufficient object dependencies to
ensure so; this means that parallel pg_restore would fail in certain
conditions.  Fix by having pg_dump make the FK constraint object
dependent on the partition attachment objects for the constraint's
referenced index.

This has been broken since f56f8f8da6af, so backpatch to Postgres 12.

408f759380 Fix pg_dump's handling of dependencies for custom opclasses.
Since pg_dump doesn't treat the member operators and functions of operator
classes/families (that is, the pg_amop and pg_amproc entries, not the
underlying operators/functions) as separate dumpable objects, it missed
their dependency information.  I think this was safe when the code was
designed, because the default object sorting rule emits operators and
functions before opclasses, and there were no dependency types that could
mess that up.  However, the introduction of range types in 9.2 broke it:
now a type can have a dependency on an opclass, allowing dependency rules
to push the opclass before the type and hence before custom operators.
Lacking any information showing that it shouldn't do so, pg_dump emitted
the objects in the wrong order.

Fix by teaching getDependencies() to translate pg_depend entries for
pg_amop/amproc rows to look like dependencies for their parent opfamily.

I added a regression test for this in HEAD/v12, but not further back;
life is too short to fight with 002_pg_dump.pl.

79e573fa49 Install dependencies to prevent dropping partition key columns.
The logic in ATExecDropColumn that rejects dropping partition key
columns is quite an inadequate defense, because it doesn't execute
in cases where a column needs to be dropped due to cascade from
something that only the column, not the whole partitioned table,
depends on.  That leaves us with a badly broken partitioned table;
even an attempt to load its relcache entry will fail.

We really need to have explicit pg_depend entries that show that the
column can't be dropped without dropping the whole table.  Hence,
add those entries.  In v12 and HEAD, bump catversion to ensure that
partitioned tables will have such entries.  We can't do that in
released branches of course, so in v10 and v11 this patch affords
protection only to partitioned tables created after the patch is
installed.  Given the lack of field complaints (this bug was found
by fuzz-testing not by end users), that's probably good enough.

In passing, fix ATExecDropColumn and ATPrepAlterColumnType
messages to be more specific about which partition key column
they're complaining about.

Per report from Manuel Rigger.  Back-patch to v10 where partitioned
tables were added.

681cca86f5 Blind attempt to fix SSPI-auth case in 010_dump_connstr.pl.
Up to now, pg_regress --config-auth had a hard-wired assumption
that the target cluster uses the default bootstrap superuser name.
pg_dump's 010_dump_connstr.pl TAP test uses non-default superuser
names, and was klugily getting around the restriction by listing
the desired superuser name as a role to "create".  This is pretty
confusing (or at least, it confused me).  Let's make it clearer by
allowing --config-auth mode to be told the bootstrap superuser name.
Repurpose the existing --user switch for that, since it has no
other function in --config-auth mode.

test this fix, but the buildfarm should soon show if it works.

ca129e58c0 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.

33a53130a8 Make pg_dump emit ATTACH PARTITION instead of PARTITION OF (reprise)
Using PARTITION OF can result in column ordering being changed from the
database being dumped, if the partition uses a column layout different
from the parent's.  It's not pg_dump's job to editorialize on table
definitions, so this is not acceptable; back-patch all the way back to
pg10, where partitioned tables where introduced.

This change also ensures that partitions end up in the correct
tablespace, if different from the parent's; this is an oversight in
ca4103025dfe (in pg12 only).  Partitioned indexes (in pg11) don't have
this problem, because they're already created as independent indexes and
attached to their parents afterwards.

This change also has the advantage that the partition is restorable from
the dump (as a standalone table) even if its parent table isn't
restored.

The original commits (3b23552ad8bb in branch master) failed to cover
subsidiary column elements correctly, such as NOT NULL constraint and
CHECK constraints, as reported by Rushabh Lathia (initially as a failure
to restore serial columns).  They were reverted.  This recapitulation
commit fixes those problems.

Add some pg_dump tests to verify these things more exhaustively,
including constraints with legacy-inheritance tables, which were not
tested originally.  In branches 10 and 11, add a local constraint to the
pg_dump test partition that was added by commit 2d7eeb1b1492 to master.

fc9a62af3f Move logging.h and logging.c from src/fe_utils/ to src/common/.
The original placement of this module in src/fe_utils/ is ill-considered,
because several src/common/ modules have dependencies on it, meaning that
libpgcommon and libpgfeutils now have mutual dependencies.  That makes it
pointless to have distinct libraries at all.  The intended design is that
libpgcommon is lower-level than libpgfeutils, so only dependencies from
the latter to the former are acceptable.

We already have the precedent that fe_memutils and a couple of other
modules in src/common/ are frontend-only, so it's not stretching anything
out of whack to treat logging.c as a frontend-only module in src/common/.
To the extent that such modules help provide a common frontend/backend
environment for the rest of common/ to use, it's a reasonable design.
(logging.c does not yet provide an ereport() emulation, but one can
dream.)

Hence, move these files over, and revert basically all of the build-system
changes made by commit cc8d41511.  There are no places that need to grow
new dependencies on libpgcommon, further reinforcing the idea that this
is the right solution.

Like the backend, the frontend has wrappers on top of malloc() and such
whose use is recommended.  Particularly, it is possible to do memory
allocation without issuing an error.  Some binaries missed the use of
those wrappers, so let's fix the gap for consistency.

This also fixes two latent bugs:
- In pg_dump/pg_dumpall when parsing an ACL item, on an out-of-memory
error for strdup(), the code considered the failure as a ACL parsing
problem instead of an actual OOM.
- In pg_waldump, an OOM when building the target directory string would
cause a crash.

the dump (as a standalone table) even if its parent table isn't
restored.

413ccaa74d pg_restore: Require "-f -" to mean stdout
The previous convention that stdout was selected by default when nothing
is specified was just too error-prone.

cc8d415117 Unified logging system for command-line programs
This unifies the various ad hoc logging (message printing, error
printing) systems used throughout the command-line programs.

Features:

- Program name is automatically prefixed.

- Message string does not end with newline.  This removes a common
  source of inconsistencies and omissions.

- Additionally, a final newline is automatically stripped, simplifying
  use of PQerrorMessage() etc., another common source of mistakes.

- I converted error message strings to use %m where possible.

- As a result of the above several points, more translatable message
  strings can be shared between different components and between
  frontends and backend, without gratuitous punctuation or whitespace
  differences.

- There is support for setting a "log level".  This is not meant to be
  user-facing, but can be used internally to implement debug or
  verbose modes.

- Lazy argument evaluation, so no significant overhead if logging at
  some level is disabled.

- Some color in the messages, similar to gcc and clang.  Set
  PG_COLOR=auto to try it out.  Some colors are predefined, but can be
  customized by setting PG_COLORS.

- Common files (common/, fe_utils/, etc.) can handle logging much more
  simply by just using one API without worrying too much about the
  context of the calling program, requiring callbacks, or having to
  pass "progname" around everywhere.

- Some programs called setvbuf() to make sure that stderr is
  unbuffered, even on Windows.  But not all programs did that.  This
  is now done centrally.

Soft goals:

- Reduces vertical space use and visual complexity of error reporting
  in the source code.

- Encourages more deliberate classification of messages.  For example,
  in some cases it wasn't clear without analyzing the surrounding code
  whether a message was meant as an error or just an info.

- Concepts and terms are vaguely aligned with popular logging
  frameworks such as log4j and Python logging.

This is all just about printing stuff out.  Nothing affects program
flow (e.g., fatal exits).  The uses are just too varied to do that.
Some existing code had wrappers that do some kind of print-and-exit,
and I adapted those.

I tried to keep the output mostly the same, but there is a lot of
historical baggage to unwind and special cases to consider, and I
might not always have succeeded.  One significant change is that
pg_rewind used to write all error messages to stdout.  That is now
changed to stderr.

fc22b6623b Generated columns
This is an SQL-standard feature that allows creating columns that are
computed from expressions rather than assigned, similar to a view or
materialized view but on a column basis.

This implements one kind of generated column: stored (computed on
write).  Another kind, virtual (computed on read), is planned for the
future, and some room is left for it.

1983af8e89 Switch some palloc/memset calls to palloc0
Some code paths have been doing some allocations followed by an
immediate memset() to initialize the allocated area with zeros, this is
a bit overkill as there are already interfaces to do both things in one
call.
