Remove arbitrary MAXPGPATH limit on command lengths in pg_ctl.
Replace fixed-length command buffers with psprintf() calls. We didn't
have anything as convenient as psprintf() when this code was written,
but now that we do, there's little reason for the limitation to
stand. Removing it eliminates some corner cases where (for example)
starting the postmaster with a whole lot of options fails.
Most individual file names that pg_ctl deals with are still restricted
to MAXPGPATH, but we've seldom had complaints about that limitation
so long as it only applies to one filename.
Back-patch to all supported branches.

Disallow creating an ICU collation if the DB encoding won't support it.
Previously this was allowed, but the collation effectively vanished
into the ether because of the way lookup_collation() works: you could
not use the collation, nor even drop it. Seems better to give an
error up front than to leave the user wondering why it doesn't work.
(Because this test is in DefineCollation not CreateCollation, it does
not prevent pg_import_system_collations from creating ICU collations,
regardless of the initially-chosen encoding.)

was added.

Make pkg-config files cross-compile friendly
Currently the pc files use hard coded paths for "includedir" and
"libdir."
Example:
Cflags: -I/usr/include
Libs: -L/usr/lib -lpq
This is not very fortunate when cross compiling inside a buildroot,
where the includes and libs are inside a staging directory, because
this introduces host paths into the build:
checking for pkg-config... /builder/shared-workdir/build/sdk/staging_dir/host/bin/pkg-config
checking for PostgreSQL libraries via pkg_config... -L/usr/lib <----
This commit addresses this by doing the following two things:
1. Instead of hard coding the paths in "Cflags" and "Libs"
"${includedir}" and "${libdir}" are used. Note: these variables
can be overriden on the pkg-config command line
("--define-variable=libdir=/some/path").
2. Add the variables "prefix" and "exec_prefix". If "includedir"
and/or "libdir" are using these then construct them accordingly.
This is done because buildroots (for instance OpenWrt) tend to
rename the real pkg-config and call it indirectly from a script
that sets "prefix", "exec_prefix" and "bindir", like so:
pkg-config.real --define-variable=prefix=${STAGING_PREFIX} \
--define-variable=exec_prefix=${STAGING_PREFIX} \
--define-variable=bindir=${STAGING_PREFIX}/bin $@
Example #1: user calls ./configure with "--libdir=/some/lib" and
"--includedir=/some/include":
prefix=/usr/local/pgsql
exec_prefix=${prefix}
libdir=/some/lib
includedir=/some/include
Name: libpq
Description: PostgreSQL libpq library
Url: http://www.postgresql.org/
Version: 12.1
Requires:
Requires.private:
Cflags: -I${includedir}
Libs: -L${libdir} -lpq
Libs.private: -lcrypt -lm
Example #2: user calls ./configure with no arguments:
prefix=/usr/local/pgsql
exec_prefix=${prefix}
libdir=${exec_prefix}/lib
includedir=${prefix}/include
Name: libpq
Description: PostgreSQL libpq library
Url: http://www.postgresql.org/
Version: 12.1
Requires:
Requires.private:
Cflags: -I${includedir}

Libs.private: -lcrypt -lm
Like this the paths can be forced into the staging directory when
using a buildroot setup:
checking for pkg-config... /home/sk/tmp/openwrt/staging_dir/host/bin/pkg-config
checking for PostgreSQL libraries via pkg_config... -L/home/sk/tmp/openwrt/staging_dir/target-mips_24kc_musl/usr/lib

In count_usable_fds(), duplicate stderr not stdin.
We had a complaint that the postmaster fails to start if the invoking
program closes stdin. That happens because count_usable_fds expects
to be able to dup(0), and if it can't, we conclude there are no free
FDs and go belly-up. So far as I can find, though, there is no other
place in the server that touches stdin, and it's not unreasonable to
expect that a daemon wouldn't use that file.
As a simple improvement, let's dup FD 2 (stderr) instead. Unlike stdin,
it *is* reasonable for us to expect that stderr be open; even if we are
configured not to touch it, common libraries such as libc might try to
write error messages there.
Per gripe from Mario Emmenlauer. Given the lack of previous complaints,
I'm not excited about pushing this into stable branches, but it seems
OK to squeeze it into v14.

Fix float4/float8 hash functions to produce uniform results for NaNs.
The IEEE 754 standard allows a wide variety of bit patterns for NaNs,
of which at least two ("NaN" and "-NaN") are pretty easy to produce
from SQL on most machines. This is problematic because our btree
comparison functions deem all NaNs to be equal, but our float hash
functions know nothing about NaNs and will happily produce varying
hash codes for them. That causes unexpected results from queries
that hash a column containing different NaN values. It could also
produce unexpected lookup failures when using a hash index on a
float column, i.e. "WHERE x = 'NaN'" will not find all the rows
it should.
To fix, special-case NaN in the float hash functions, not too much
unlike the existing special case that forces zero and minus zero
to hash the same. I arranged for the most vanilla sort of NaN
(that coming from the C99 NAN constant) to still have the same
hash code as before, to reduce the risk to existing hash indexes.
I dithered about whether to back-patch this into stable branches,
but ultimately decided to do so. It's a clear improvement for
queries that hash internally. If there is anybody who has -NaN
in a hash index, they'd be well advised to re-index after applying
this patch ... but the misbehavior if they don't will not be much
worse than the misbehavior they had before.

Use COPY FREEZE in pgbench for faster benchmark table population.

Identify simple column references in extended statistics
Until now, when defining extended statistics, everything except a plain
column reference was treated as complex expression. So for example "a"
was a column reference, but "(a)" would be an expression. In most cases
this does not matter much, but there were a couple strange consequences.
For example
CREATE STATISTICS s ON a FROM t;
would fail, because extended stats require at least two columns. But
CREATE STATISTICS s ON (a) FROM t;
would succeed, because that requirement does not apply to expressions.
Moreover, that statistics object is useless - the optimizer will always
use the regular statistics collected for attribute "a".
So do a bit more work to identify those expressions referencing a single
column, and translate them to a simple column reference. Backpatch to
14, where support for extended statistics on expressions was introduced.
