Some platforms create a file named "localtime" in the system
timezone directory, making it a copy or link to the active time
zone file. If Postgres is built with --with-system-tzdata, initdb
will see that file as an exact match to localtime(3)'s behavior,
and it may decide that "localtime" is the most preferred spelling of
the active zone. That's a very bad choice though, because it's
neither informative, nor portable, nor stable if someone changes
the system timezone setting. Extend the preference logic added by
commit e3846a00c so that we will prefer any other zone file that
matches localtime's behavior over "localtime".
On the same logic, also discriminate against "posixrules", which
is another not-really-a-zone file that is often present in the
timezone directory. (Since we install "posixrules" but not
"localtime", this change can affect the behavior of Postgres
with or without --with-system-tzdata.)
Note that this change doesn't prevent anyone from choosing these
pseudo-zones if they really want to (i.e., by setting TZ for initdb,
or modifying the timezone GUC later on). It just prevents initdb
from preferring these zone names when there are multiple matches to
localtime's behavior.
Since we generally prefer to keep timezone-related behavior the
same in all branches, and since this is arguably a bug fix,
back-patch to all supported branches.

describeOneTableDetails issued a partition-constraint-fetching query
for every table, even ones it knows perfectly well are not partitions.
To add insult to injury, it then proceeded to leak the empty PGresult
if the table wasn't a partition. Doing that a lot of times might
amount to a meaningful leak, so this seems like a back-patchable bug.
Fix that, and also fix a related PGresult leak in the partition-parent
case (though that leak would occur only if we got no row, which is
unexpected).
Minor code beautification too, to make this code look more like the
pre-existing code around it.
Back-patch the whole change into v12. However, the fact that we already
know whether the table is a partition dates only to commit 1af25ca0c;
back-patching the relevant changes from that is probably more churn
than is justified in released branches. Hence, in v11 and v10, just
do the minimum to fix the PGresult leaks.
Noted while messing around with adjacent code for yesterday's \d
improvements.
Windows hosts do not normally come with expr, so instead of using that
to test the \setshell command, use echo instead, which is fairly
universally available.
Backpatch to release 11, where this came in.
Problem found by me, patch by Fabien Coelho.
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.

Commit 4f3b38fe2 supposed that complete_from_const() is equivalent to
the one-element-list case of complete_from_list(), but that's not
really true at all. complete_from_const() supposes that the completion
is certain enough to justify wiping out whatever the user typed, while
complete_from_list() will only provide completions that match the
word-so-far.
In practice, given the lame parsing technology used by tab-complete.c,
it's fairly hard to believe that we're *ever* certain enough about
a completion to justify auto-correcting user input that doesn't match.
Hence, remove the inappropriate unification of the two cases.
As things now stand, complete_from_const() is used only for the
situation where we have no matches and we need to keep readline
from applying its default complete-with-file-names behavior.
This (mis?) behavior actually exists much further back, but
I'm hesitant to change it in released branches. It's not too
late for v12, though, especially seeing that the aforesaid
commit is new in v12.

Don't think that the context "UPDATE tab SET var =" is a GUC-setting
command.
If we have "SET var =" but the "var" is not a known GUC variable,
don't offer any completions. The most likely explanation is that
we've misparsed the context and it's not really a GUC-setting command.
Per gripe from Ken Tanzer. Back-patch to 9.6. The issue exists
further back, but before 9.6 the code looks very different and it
doesn't actually know whether the "var" name matches anything,

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.

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.

tzdb 2019a made "UCT" a link to the "UTC" zone rather than a separate
zone with its own abbreviation. Unfortunately, our code for choosing a
timezone in initdb has an arbitrary preference for names earlier in
the alphabet, and so it would choose the spelling "UCT" over "UTC"
when the system is running on a UTC zone.
Commit 23bd3cec6 was backpatched in order to address this issue, but
that code helps only when /etc/localtime exists as a symlink, and does
nothing to help on systems where /etc/localtime is a copy of a zone
file (as is the standard setup on FreeBSD and probably some other
platforms too) or when /etc/localtime is simply absent (giving UTC as
the default).
Accordingly, add a preference for the spelling "UTC", such that if
multiple zone names have equally good content matches, we prefer that
name before applying the existing arbitrary rules. Also add a slightly
lower preference for "Etc/UTC"; lower because that preserves the
previous behaviour of choosing the shorter name, but letting us still
choose "Etc/UTC" over "Etc/UCT" when both exist but "UTC" does
not (not common, but I've seen it happen).
Backpatch all the way, because the tzdb change that sparked this issue
is in those branches too.
Fixes some problems introduced by 6e5f8d489acc:
* When reusing conninfo data from the previous connection in \connect,
the host address should only be reused if it was specified as
hostaddr; if it wasn't, then 'host' is resolved afresh. We were
reusing the same IP address, which ignores a possible DNS change
as well as any other addresses that the name resolves to than the
one that was used in the original connection.
* PQhost, PQhostaddr: Don't present user-specified hostaddr when we have
an inet_net_ntop-produced equivalent address. The latter has been
put in canonical format, which is cleaner (so it produces "127.0.0.1"
when given "host=2130706433", for example).
* Document the hostaddr-reusing aspect of \connect.
* Fix some code comments

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.

Previously, running pg_waldump with an invalid option (pg_waldump
--foo) would print the help output and exit successfully. This was
because it tried to process the option letter '?' as a normal option,
but that letter is used by getopt() to report an invalid option.
To fix, process help and version options separately, like we do
everywhere else. Also add a basic test suite for pg_waldump and run
the basic option handling tests, which would have caught this.
The following issues have been spotted:

- CREATE TABLE .. USING has no completion support. USING was not being

We have a longstanding project convention that all .h files should
be includable with no prerequisites other than postgres.h. This is
tested/relied-on by cpluspluscheck. However, cpluspluscheck has not
historically been applied to most headers outside the src/include
tree, with the predictable consequence that some of them don't work.
Fix that, usually by adding missing #include dependencies.
The change in printf_hack.h might require some explanation: without
it, my C++ compiler whines that the function is unused. There's
not so many call sites that "inline" is going to cost much, and
besides all the callers are in test code that we really don't care
about the size of.
There's no actual bugs being fixed here, so I see no need to back-patch.

When this suite runs installcheck, redirect file creations from
src/test/regress to src/bin/pg_upgrade/tmp_check/regress. This closes a
race condition in "make -j check-world". If the pg_upgrade suite wrote

src/test/regress invocation writing it, a test failed spuriously. Even
without parallelism, in "make -k check-world", the suite finishing
second overwrote the other's regression.diffs. This revealed test
"largeobject" assuming @abs_builddir@ is getcwd(), so fix that, too.
