Rewrite the key-combination logic in GIN's keyGetItem() and scanGetItem()
routines to make them behave better in the presence of "lossy" index pointers.
The previous coding was outright incorrect for some cases, as recently
reported by Artur Dabrowski: scanGetItem would fail to return index entries in
cases where one index key had multiple exact pointers on the same page as
another key had a lossy pointer. Also, keyGetItem was extremely inefficient
for cases where a single index key generates multiple "entry" streams, such as
an @@ operator with a multiple-clause tsquery. The presence of a lossy page
pointer in any one stream defeated its ability to use the opclass
consistentFn, resulting in probing many heap pages that didn't really need to
be visited. In Artur's example case, a query like
WHERE tsvector @@ to_tsquery('a & b')
was about 50X slower than the theoretically equivalent
WHERE tsvector @@ to_tsquery('a') AND tsvector @@ to_tsquery('b')
The way that I chose to fix this was to have GIN call the consistentFn
twice with both TRUE and FALSE values for the in-doubt entry stream,
returning a hit if either call produces TRUE, but not if they both return
FALSE. The code handles this for the case of a single in-doubt entry stream,
but punts (falling back to the stupid behavior) if there's more than one lossy
reference to the same page. The idea could be scaled up to deal with multiple
lossy references, but I think that would probably be wasted complexity. At
least to judge by Artur's example, such cases don't occur often enough to be
worth trying to optimize.

Clean up some inconsistencies in the volatility marking of various I/O
related functions. Per today's discussion, we will henceforth assume
that datatype I/O functions are either stable or immutable, never volatile.
(This implies in particular that domain CHECK constraint expressions shouldn't
be volatile, since domain_in executes them.) In turn, functions that execute
the I/O functions of arbitrary datatypes should always be labeled stable.
This affects the labeling of array_to_string, which was unsafely marked
immutable, and record_in, record_out, record_recv, record_send,
domain_in, domain_recv, which were over-conservatively marked volatile.

as volatile.

Have \conninfo mention the port even for local sockets.
Per discussion with David Christensen, there can be multiple
instances of PG accessible via local sockets, and you need the port
to see which one you're actually connected to. David's original
patch worked this way, but I inadvertently ripped it out during
commit.

Add restart_after_crash GUC.
Normally, we automatically restart after a backend crash, but in some
cases when PostgreSQL is invoked by clusterware it may be desirable to
suppress this behavior, so we provide an option which does this.
Since no existing GUC group quite fits, create a new group called
"error handling options" for this and the previously undocumented GUC
exit_on_error, which is now documented.

Remove unnecessary "Not safe to send CSV data" complaint from elog.c's fallback
path when CSV logging is configured but not yet operational. It's sufficient
to send the message to stderr, as we were already doing, and the "Not safe"
gripe has already confused at least two core members ...
Backpatch to 9.0, but not further --- doesn't seem appropriate to change
this behavior in stable branches.

Allow ORDER BY/GROUP BY/etc items to match targetlist items regardless of
any implicit casting previously applied to the targetlist item. This is
reasonable because the implicit cast, by definition, wasn't written by the
user; so we are preserving the expected behavior that ORDER BY items match
textually equivalent tlist items. The case never arose before because there
couldn't be any implicit casting of a top-level SELECT item before we process
ORDER BY etc. But now it can arise in the context of aggregates containing
ORDER BY clauses, since the "targetlist" is the already-casted list of
arguments for the aggregate. The net effect is that the datatype used for
ORDER BY/DISTINCT purposes is the aggregate's declared input type, not that
of the original input column; which is a bit debatable but not horrendous,
and to do otherwise would require major rework that doesn't seem justified.
Per bug #5564 from Daniel Grace. Back-patch to 9.0 where aggregate ORDER BY
was implemented.

Note: I (tgl) objected to removing this check in 9.0 on the grounds that it
was an important sanity check in new, poorly tested code. However, it should
be all right to remove it for 9.1, since we'll get field testing from the

Allow full SSL certificate verification (wherein libpq checks its host name
parameter against server cert's CN field) to succeed in the case where

for Kerberos, GSSAPI, SSPI, it is the calling application's responsibility
that host and hostaddr match up --- we just use the host name as given.

In passing, make the error handling and messages for the no-host-name-given
failure more consistent among these four cases, and correct a lie in the
documentation: we don't attempt to reverse-lookup host from hostaddr
if host is missing.

Teach EXPLAIN to print PARAM_EXEC Params as the referenced expressions,
rather than just $N. This brings the display of nestloop-inner-indexscan
plans back to where it's been, and incidentally improves the display of
SubPlan parameters as well. In passing, simplify the EXPLAIN code by
having it deal primarily in the PlanState tree rather than separately
searching Plan and PlanState trees. This is noticeably cleaner for
subplans, and about a wash elsewhere.
One small difference from previous behavior is that EXPLAIN will no longer
qualify local variable references in inner-indexscan plan nodes, since it
no longer sees such nodes as possibly referencing multiple tables. Vars
referenced through PARAM_EXEC Params are still forcibly qualified, though,
so I don't think the display is any more confusing than before. Adjust a
couple of examples in the documentation to match this behavior.
