The name introduced by commit 4656e3d66 was agreed to be unreasonably
long. To match this change, rename initdb's recently-added
--clobber-cache option to --discard-caches.

Commit 4656e3d66 replaced the "#define CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS"
testing mechanism with a GUC, which has been a great help for
doing cache-clobber testing in more efficient ways; but there
is a gap in the implementation. The only way to do cache-clobber
testing during an initdb run is to use the old method with #define,
because one can't set the GUC from outside. Improve this by
adding a switch to initdb for the purpose.
(Perhaps someday we should let initdb pass through arbitrary
"-c NAME=VALUE" switches. Quoting difficulties dissuaded me
from attempting that right now, though.)
Back-patch to v14 where 4656e3d66 came in.

Recent glibc versions have made mktime() fail if tm_isdst is
inconsistent with the prevailing timezone; in particular it fails for
tm_isdst = 1 when the zone is UTC. (This seems wildly inconsistent
with the POSIX-mandated treatment of "incorrect" values for the other
fields of struct tm, so if you ask me it's a bug, but I bet they'll
say it's intentional.) This has been observed to cause cosmetic
problems when pg_restore'ing an archive created in a different
timezone.
To fix, do mktime() using the field values from the archive, and if
that fails try again with tm_isdst = -1. This will give a result
that's off by the UTC-offset difference from the original zone, but
that was true before, too. It's not terribly critical since we don't
do anything with the result except possibly print it. (Someday we
should flush this entire bit of logic and record a standard-format
timestamp in the archive instead. That's not okay for a back-patched
bug fix, though.)
Also, guard our only other use of mktime() by having initdb's
build_time_t() set tm_isdst = -1 not 0. This case could only have
an issue in zones that are DST year-round; but I think some do exist,
or could in future.
Per report from Wells Oliver. Back-patch to all supported
versions, since any of them might need to run with a newer glibc.

Invent system_functions.sql to carry the function definitions that

For those system catalogs that have a unique indexes, make a primary
key and unique constraint, using ALTER TABLE ... PRIMARY KEY/UNIQUE
USING INDEX.
This can be helpful for GUI tools that look for a primary key, and it
might in the future allow declaring foreign keys, for making schema
diagrams.
The constraint creation statements are automatically created by
genbki.pl from DECLARE_UNIQUE_INDEX directives. To specify which one
of the available unique indexes is the primary key, use the new
directive DECLARE_UNIQUE_INDEX_PKEY instead. By convention, we
usually make a catalog's OID column its primary key, if it has one.

Specifying this parameter removes the informational messages about how
to start the server. This is intended for use by wrappers in different
packaging systems, where those instructions would most likely be wrong
anyway, but the other output from initdb would still be useful (and thus
just redirecting everything to /dev/null would be bad).

Since at least 2001 we've used putenv() and avoided setenv(), on the
grounds that the latter was unportable and not in POSIX. However,
POSIX added it that same year, and by now the situation has reversed:
setenv() is probably more portable than putenv(), since POSIX now
treats the latter as not being a core function. And setenv() has
cleaner semantics too. So, let's reverse that old policy.
This commit adds a simple src/port/ implementation of setenv() for
any stragglers (we have one in the buildfarm, but I'd not be surprised
if that code is never used in the field). More importantly, extend
win32env.c to also support setenv(). Then, replace usages of putenv()
with setenv(), and get rid of some ad-hoc implementations of setenv()
wannabees.
Also, adjust our src/port/ implementation of unsetenv() to follow the
POSIX spec that it returns an error indicator, rather than returning
void as per the ancient BSD convention. I don't feel a need to make
all the call sites check for errors, but the portability stub ought
to match real-world practice.

This adds a key management system that stores (currently) two data
encryption keys of length 128, 192, or 256 bits. The data keys are
AES256 encrypted using a key encryption key, and validated via GCM
cipher mode. A command to obtain the key encryption key must be
specified at initdb time, and will be run at every database server
start. New parameters allow a file descriptor open to the terminal to
be passed. pg_upgrade support has also been added.

The BKI file's string quoting conventions were previously quite weird,
perhaps as a result of repurposing a function built to scan
single-quoted strings to scan double-quoted ones. Change to use the
same rules as we use in GUC files, allowing some simplifications in
genbki.pl and initdb.c.
While at it, completely remove the backend's scanstr() function, which
was essentially a duplicate of the string dequoting code in guc-file.l.
Instead export that one (under a less generic name than it had) and let
bootscanner.l use it. Now we can clarify that scansup.c exists only to
support the main lexer. We could alternatively have removed GUC_scanstr,
but this way seems better since the previous arrangement could mislead
a reader into thinking that scanstr() had something to do with the main
lexer's handling of string literals. Maybe it did once, but if so it
was a long time ago.
This patch does not bump catversion, since the initially-installed
catalog contents don't change. Note however that successful initdb
after applying this patch will require up-to-date postgres.bki as well
as postgres and initdb executables.
In passing, remove a bunch of very-long-obsolete #include's in
bootparse.y and bootscanner.l.

Further experience says that the appending behavior offered by
pg_get_line_append is useful to only a very small minority of callers.
For most, the requirement to reset the buffer after each line is just
an error-prone nuisance. Hence, invent another alternative call
pg_get_line_buf, which takes care of that detail.
Noted while reviewing a patch from Daniel Gustafsson.

Letting the caller provide a StringInfo to read into is helpful when
the caller needs to merge lines or otherwise modify the data after
it's been read. Notably, now the code added by commit 8f8154a50
can use pg_get_line_append() instead of having its own copy of that
logic. A follow-on commit will also make use of this.
Also, since StringInfo buffers are a minimum of 1KB long, blindly
using pg_get_line() in a loop can eat a lot more memory than one would
expect. I discovered for instance that commit e0f05cd5b caused initdb
to consume circa 10MB to read postgres.bki, even though that's under
1MB worth of data. A less memory-hungry alternative is to re-use the
same StringInfo for all lines and pg_strdup the results.

At some point back in the last century, somebody felt that reading
all of pg_type twice was cheaper, or at least easier, than using
repalloc() to resize the Typ[] array dynamically. That seems like an
entirely wacko proposition, so rewrite the code to do it the other
way. (To add insult to injury, there were two not-quite-identical
copies of said code.)
initdb.c's readfile() function had the same disease of preferring
to do double the I/O to avoid resizing its output array. Here,
we can make things easier by using the just-invented pg_get_line()
function to handle reading individual lines without a predetermined
notion of how long they are.
On my machine, it's difficult to detect any net change in the
overall runtime of initdb from these changes; but they should
help on slower buildfarm machines (especially since a buildfarm
cycle involves a lot of initdb's these days).
My attention was drawn to these places by scan-build complaints,
but on inspection they needed a lot more work than just suppressing
dead stores :-(
This patch started out with the goal of harmonizing various arbitrary
limits on password length, but after awhile a better idea emerged:
let's just get rid of those fixed limits.
recv_password_packet() has an arbitrary limit on the packet size,
which we don't really need, so just drop it. (Note that this doesn't
really affect anything for MD5 or SCRAM password verification, since
those will hash the user's password to something shorter anyway.
It does matter for auth methods that require a cleartext password.)
Likewise remove the arbitrary error condition in pg_saslprep().
The remaining limits are mostly in client-side code that prompts
for passwords. To improve those, refactor simple_prompt() so that
it allocates its own result buffer that can be made as big as
necessary. Actually, it proves best to make a separate routine
pg_get_line() that has essentially the semantics of fgets(), except
that it allocates a suitable result buffer and hence will never
return a truncated line. (pg_get_line has a lot of potential
applications to replace randomly-sized fgets buffers elsewhere,
but I'll leave that for another patch.)
I built pg_get_line() atop stringinfo.c, which requires moving
that code to src/common/; but that seems fine since it was a poor
fit for src/port/ anyway.
This patch is mostly mine, but it owes a good deal to Nathan Bossart
who pressed for a solution to the password length problem and
created a predecessor patch. Also thanks to Peter Eisentraut and
Stephen Frost for ideas and discussion.

Includes some manual cleanup of places that pgindent messed up,
most of which weren't per project style anyway.
Notably, it seems some people didn't absorb the style rules of
commit c9d297751, because there were a bunch of new occurrences
of function calls with a newline just after the left paren, all
with faulty expectations about how the rest of the call would get
indented.
There were a few different ways to line-wrap the error messages. Make
them all the same, and use placeholders for the actual program names,
to save translation work.
Sticking this comment at the end of the last line was a bad idea: it's
not particularly readable, and it tempts pgindent to mess with line
breaks within the comment, which in turn reveals that win32tzlist.pl's
clean_displayname() does the wrong thing to clean up such line breaks.
While that's not hard to fix, there's basically no excuse for this
arrangement to begin with, especially since it makes the table layout
needlessly vary across back branches with different pgindent rules.
Let's just put the comment inside the braces, instead.
This commit just moves and reformats the comments, and updates
win32tzlist.pl to match; there's no actual data change.
Per odd-looking results from Juan José Santamaría Flecha.
Back-patch, since the point is to make win32_tzmap[] look the
same in all supported branches again.

This fixes and updates a couple of comments related to outdated Windows
versions. Particularly, src/common/exec.c had a fallback implementation
to read a file's line from a pipe because stdin/stdout/stderr does not

are unlikely versions of Postgres running on such platforms.

This data was only in separate files because it was the most convenient
way to handle it with a shell script. Now that we use a general-purpose
programming language, it's easy to assemble the data into the same format
as the rest of the catalogs and output it into postgres.bki. This allows
removal of some special-purpose code from initdb.c.

Formerly, various frontend directories symlinked these two sources
and then built them locally. That's an ancient, ugly hack, and
we now have a much better way: put them into libpgcommon.
So do that. (The immediate motivation for this is the prospect
of having to introduce still more symlinking if we don't.)
This commit moves these two files absolutely verbatim, for ease of
reviewing the git history. There's some follow-on work to be done
that will modify them a bit.

When maintaining or merging patches, one of the most common sources
for conflicts are the list of objects in makefiles. Especially when
the split across lines has been changed on both sides, which is
somewhat common due to attempting to stay below 80 columns, those
conflicts are unnecessarily laborious to resolve.
By splitting, and alphabetically sorting, OBJS style lines into one
object per line, conflicts should be less frequent, and easier to
resolve when they still occur.

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.
