When an error occurs during a benchmark run, exit with a nonzero exit
code and write a message at the end. Previously, it would just print
the error message when it happened but then proceed to print the run
summary normally and exit with status 0. To still allow
distinguishing setup from run-time errors, we use exit status 2 for
the new state, whereas existing errors during pgbench initialization
use exit status 1.

Historically we forbade datatype-specific comparison functions from
returning INT_MIN, so that it would be safe to invert the sort order
just by negating the comparison result. However, this was never
really safe for comparison functions that directly return the result
of memcmp(), strcmp(), etc, as POSIX doesn't place any such restriction
on those library functions. Buildfarm results show that at least on
recent Linux on s390x, memcmp() actually does return INT_MIN sometimes,
causing sort failures.
The agreed-on answer is to remove this restriction and fix relevant
call sites to not make such an assumption; code such as "res = -res"
should be replaced by "INVERT_COMPARE_RESULT(res)". The same is needed
in a few places that just directly negated the result of memcmp or
strcmp.
To help find places having this problem, I've also added a compile option
to nbtcompare.c that causes some of the commonly used comparators to
return INT_MIN/INT_MAX instead of their usual -1/+1. It'd likely be
a good idea to have at least one buildfarm member running with
"-DSTRESS_SORT_INT_MIN". That's far from a complete test of course,
but it should help to prevent fresh introductions of such bugs.
This is a longstanding portability hazard, so back-patch to all supported
branches.

I started out with the idea that we needed to detect use of %m format specs
in contexts other than elog/ereport calls, because we couldn't rely on that
working in *printf calls. But a better answer is to fix things so that it
does work. Now that we're using snprintf.c all the time, we can implement
%m in that and we've fixed the problem.
This requires also adjusting our various printf-wrapping functions so that
they ensure "errno" is preserved when they call snprintf.c.
Remove elog.c's handmade implementation of %m, and let it rely on
snprintf to support the feature. That should provide some performance
gain, though I've not attempted to measure it.
There are a lot of places where we could now simplify 'printf("%s",
strerror(errno))' into 'printf("%m")', but I'm not in any big hurry
to make that happen.

It's fairly silly to truncate the throttle_delay to integer when the only
math we ever do with it requires converting back to double. Furthermore,
given that people are starting to complain about restrictions like only
supporting 1K client connections, I don't think we're very far away from
situations where the precision loss matters. As the code stood, for
example, there's no difference between --rate 100001 and --rate 111111;
both get converted to throttle_delay = 9. Somebody trying to run 100
threads and have each one dispatch around 1K TPS would find this lack of
precision rather surprising, especially since the required per-thread
delays are around 1ms, well within the timing precision of modern systems.

Previously, pgbench always used select(2) for this purpose, but that's
problematic for very high client counts, because select() can't deal
with file descriptor numbers larger than FD_SETSIZE. It's pretty common
for that to be only 1024 or so, whereas modern OSes can allow many more
open files than that. Using poll(2) would surmount that problem, but it
creates another one: poll()'s timeout resolution is only 1ms, which is
poor enough to cause problems with --rate specifications approaching or
exceeding 1K TPS.
On platforms that have ppoll(2), which includes Linux and recent
FreeBSD, we can use that to avoid the FD_SETSIZE problem without any
loss of timeout resolution. Hence, add configure logic to test for
ppoll(), and use it if available.
This patch introduces an abstraction layer into pgbench that could
be extended to support other kernel event-wait APIs such as kevents.
But actually adding such support is a matter for some future patch.

This removes a difference between the standard IsUnderPostmaster
execution environment and that of --boot and --single. In a stand-alone
backend, "SELECT random()" always started at the same seed.
On a system capable of using posix shared memory, initdb could still
conclude "selecting dynamic shared memory implementation ... sysv".
Crashed --boot or --single postgres processes orphaned shared memory
objects having names that collided with the not-actually-random names
that initdb probed. The sysv fallback appeared after ten crashes of
--boot or --single postgres. Since --boot and --single are rare in
production use, systems used for PostgreSQL development are the
principal candidate to notice this symptom.

Previously, we made no attempt to provide tab completion in these
statements' optional parenthesized options lists. This patch teaches
psql to do so.
To prevent the option completions from being offered after we've already
seen a complete parenthesized option list, it's necessary to improve
word_matches() so that it allows a wildcard '*' in the middle of an
alternative, not only at the end as formerly. That requires only a
little more code than before, and it allows us to test for "incomplete
parenthesized options" with a test like
else if (HeadMatches2("EXPLAIN", "(*") &&
!HeadMatches2("EXPLAIN", "(*)"))
In addition, add some logic to offer column names in the context of
"ANALYZE tablename ( ...", and likewise for VACUUM. This isn't real

I'm tired of silencing Coverity complaints about it, so get rid of it.
If anyone is ever interested in pursuing the concept, they can get the

Our general practice in frontend code is to accept input with either
Unix-style newlines (\n) or DOS-style (\r\n). pgbench was mostly down
with that, but its rule for line continuations (backslash-newline) was
not. This had been masked on Windows buildfarm machines before commit
0ba06e0bf by use of Windows text mode to read files. We could have fixed
it by forcing text mode again, but it's better to fix the parsing code

Previously, the way this worked was that a parallel pg_dump would
re-order the TABLE_DATA items in the dump's TOC into decreasing size
order, and separately re-order (some of) the INDEX items into decreasing
size order. Then pg_dump would dump the items in that order. Later,
parallel pg_restore just followed the TOC order. This method had lots
of deficiencies:
* TOC ordering randomly differed between parallel and non-parallel
dumps, and was hard to predict in the former case, causing problems
for building stable pg_dump test cases.
* Parallel restore only followed a well-chosen order if the dump had
been done in parallel; in particular, this never happened for restore
from custom-format dumps.
* The best order for restore isn't necessarily the same as for dump,
and it's not really static either because of locking considerations.
* TABLE_DATA and INDEX items aren't the only things that might take a lot
of work during restore. Scheduling was particularly stupid for the BLOBS
item, which might require lots of work during dump as well as restore,
but was left to the end in either case.
This patch removes the logic that changed the TOC order, fixing the
test instability problem. Instead, we sort the parallelizable items
just before processing them during a parallel dump. Independently
of that, parallel restore prioritizes the ready-to-execute tasks
based on the size of the underlying table. In the case of dependent
tasks such as index, constraint, or foreign key creation, the largest
relevant table is used as the metric for estimating the task length.
(This is pretty crude, but it should be enough to avoid the case we
want to avoid, which is ending the run with just a few large tasks
such that we can't make use of all N workers.)

PostgreSQL uses a custom wrapper for open() and fopen() which is
concurrent-safe, allowing multiple processes to open and work on the
same file. This has a couple of advantages:
- pg_test_fsync does not handle O_DSYNC correctly otherwise, leading to
false claims that disks are unsafe.
- TAP tests can run into race conditions when a postmaster and pg_ctl
open postmaster.pid, fixing some random failures in the buildfam.
pg_upgrade is one frontend tool using workarounds to bypass file locking
issues with the log files it generates, however the interactions with
pg_ctl are proving to be tedious to get rid of, so this is left for
later.

Fix one message in pg_verify_checksums to use a style use elsewhere

Fix one gratuitous abbreviation in psql.
On many modern platforms, /etc/localtime is a symlink to a file within the
IANA database. Reading the symlink lets us find out the name of the system
timezone directly, without going through the brute-force search embodied in
scan_available_timezones(). This shortens the runtime of initdb by some
tens of ms, which is helpful for the buildfarm, and it also allows us to
reliably select the same zone name the system was actually configured for,
rather than possibly choosing one of IANA's many zone aliases. (For
example, in a system configured for "Asia/Tokyo", the brute-force search
would not choose that name but its alias "Japan", on the grounds of the
latter string being shorter. More surprisingly, "Navajo" is preferred
to either "America/Denver" or "US/Mountain", as seen in an old complaint
from Josh Berkus.)
If /etc/localtime doesn't exist, or isn't a symlink, or we can't make
sense of its contents, or the contents match a zone we know but that
zone doesn't match the observed behavior of localtime(), fall back to
the brute-force search.
Also, tweak initdb so that it prints the zone name it selected.
In passing, replace the last few references to the "Olson" database in
code comments with "IANA", as that's been our preferred term since

There's a project policy against using plain "char buf[BLCKSZ]" local
or static variables as page buffers; preferred style is to palloc or
malloc each buffer to ensure it is MAXALIGN'd. However, that policy's
been ignored in an increasing number of places. We've apparently got
away with it so far, probably because (a) relatively few people use
platforms on which misalignment causes core dumps and/or (b) the
variables chance to be sufficiently aligned anyway. But this is not
something to rely on. Moreover, even if we don't get a core dump,
we might be paying a lot of cycles for misaligned accesses.
To fix, invent new union types PGAlignedBlock and PGAlignedXLogBlock
that the compiler must allocate with sufficient alignment, and use
those in place of plain char arrays.
I used these types even for variables where there's no risk of a
misaligned access, since ensuring proper alignment should make
kernel data transfers faster. I also changed some places where
we had been palloc'ing short-lived buffers, for coding style
uniformity and to save palloc/pfree overhead.

Previously, this code blindly followed the common coding pattern of
passing PQserverVersion(AH->connection) as the server-version parameter
of fmtQualifiedId. That works as long as we have a connection; but in
pg_restore with text output, we don't. Instead we got a zero from
PQserverVersion, which fmtQualifiedId interpreted as "server is too old to
have schemas", and so the name went unqualified. That still accidentally
managed to work in many cases, which is probably why this ancient bug went
undetected for so long. It only became obvious in the wake of the changes
to force dump/restore to execute with restricted search_path.
In HEAD/v11, let's deal with this by ripping out fmtQualifiedId's server-
version behavioral dependency, and just making it schema-qualify all the
time. We no longer support pg_dump from servers old enough to need the
ability to omit schema name, let alone restoring to them. (Also, the few
callers outside pg_dump already didn't work with pre-schema servers.)
In older branches, that's not an acceptable solution, so instead just
tweak the DISABLE/ENABLE TRIGGER logic to ensure it will schema-qualify
its output regardless of server version.

The original coding here (which is, I believe, my fault) supposed that
it didn't need to concern itself with the possibility that one object

then it's possible that DOTypeNameCompare returns self-inconsistent
