Revert Windows service check refactoring, and replace with a different fix.
This reverts commit
38bdba54a64bacec78e3266f0848b0b4a824132a, "Fix and
simplify check for whether we're running as Windows service". It turns out
that older versions of MinGW - like that on buildfarm member narwhal - do
not support the CheckTokenMembership() function. This replaces the
refactoring with a much smaller fix, to add a check for SE_GROUP_ENABLED to
pgwin32_is_service().
Only apply to back-branches, and keep the refactoring in HEAD. It's
unlikely that anyone is still really using such an old version of MinGW -
aside from narwhal - but let's not change the minimum requirements in
minor releases.

Fix timestamptz regression test to still work with latest IANA zone data.
The IANA timezone crew continues to chip away at their project of removing
timezone abbreviations that have no real-world currency from their
database. The tzdata2017a update removes all such abbreviations for
South American zones, as well as much of the Pacific. This breaks some
test cases in timestamptz.sql that were expecting America/Santiago and
America/Caracas to have non-numeric abbreviations.
The test cases involving America/Santiago seem to have selected that
zone more or less at random, so just replace it with America/New_York,
which is of similar longitude. The cases involving America/Caracas are
harder since they were chosen to test a time-varying zone abbreviation
around a point where it changed meaning in the backwards direction.
Fortunately, Europe/Moscow has a similar case in 2014, and the MSK/MSD
abbreviations are well enough attested that IANA seems unlikely to
decide to remove them from the database in future.
With these changes, this regression test should pass when using any IANA
zone database from 2015 or later. One could wish that there were a few
years more daylight on how out-of-date your zone database can be ... but
really the --with-system-tzdata option is only meant for use on platforms
where the zone database is kept up-to-date pretty faithfully, so I do not

Use doubly-linked block lists in aset.c to reduce large-chunk overhead.
Large chunks (those too large for any palloc freelist) are managed as
separate blocks. Formerly, realloc'ing or pfree'ing such a chunk required
O(N) time in a context with N blocks, since we had to traipse down the
singly-linked block list to locate the block's predecessor before we could
fix the list links. This can result in O(N^2) runtime in situations where
large numbers of such chunks are manipulated within one context. Cases
like that were not foreseen in the original design of aset.c, and indeed
didn't arise until fairly recently. But such problems can now occur in
reorderbuffer.c and in hash joining, both of which make repeated large
requests without scaling up their request size as they do so, and which
will free their requests in not-necessarily-LIFO order.
To fix, change the block list from singly-linked to doubly-linked.
This adds another 4 or 8 bytes to ALLOC_BLOCKHDRSZ, but that doesn't
seem like unacceptable overhead, since aset.c's blocks are normally
8K or more, and never less than 1K in current practice.
In passing, get rid of some redundant AllocChunkGetPointer() calls in
AllocSetRealloc (the compiler might be smart enough to optimize these
away anyway, but no need to assume that) and improve AllocSetCheck's
checking of block header fields.

Repair incorrect pg_dump labeling for some comments and security labels.
We attached no schema label to comments for procedural languages, casts,
transforms, operator classes, operator families, or text search objects.
The first three categories of objects don't really have schemas, but
pg_dump treats them as if they do, and it seems like the TocEntry fields
for their comments had better match the TocEntry fields for the parent
objects. (As an example of a possible hazard, the type names in a CAST
will be formatted with the assumption of a particular search_path, so
failing to ensure that this same path is active for the COMMENT ON command
could lead to an error or to attaching the comment to the wrong cast.)
In the last six cases, this was a flat-out error --- possibly mine to
begin with, but it was a long time ago.
The security label for a procedural language was likewise not correctly
labeled as to schema, and both the comment and security label for a
procedural language were not correctly labeled as to owner.
In simple cases the restore would accidentally work correctly anyway, since
these comments and security labels would normally get emitted right after
the owning object, and so the search path and active user would be correct
anyhow. But it could fail in corner cases; for example a schema-selective
restore would omit comments it should include.
Giuseppe Broccolo noted the oversight, and proposed the correct fix, for
text search dictionary objects; I found the rest by cross-checking other
dumpComment() calls. These oversights are ancient, so back-patch all

pg_upgrade: Fix large object COMMENTS, SECURITY LABELS
When performing a pg_upgrade, we copy the files behind pg_largeobject

Unfortunately, that isn't all of the information which can be associated

LABELs with large objects and these were being silently dropped during a
pg_upgrade as pg_dump would skip everything having to do with a large
object and pg_upgrade only copied the tables mentioned to the new
cluster.
As the file copies happen after the catalog dump and reload, we can't
simply include the COMMENTs and SECURITY LABELs in pg_dump's binary-mode
output but we also have to include the actual large object definition as
well. With the definition, comments, and security labels in the pg_dump
output and the file copies performed by pg_upgrade, all of the data and
metadata associated with large objects is able to be successfully pulled
forward across a pg_upgrade.
In 9.6 and master, we can simply adjust the dump bitmask to indicate
which components we don't want. In 9.5 and earlier, we have to put
explciit checks in in dumpBlob() and dumpBlobs() to not include the ACL

Fix contrib/pg_trgm's extraction of trigrams from regular expressions.
The logic for removing excess trigrams from the result was faulty.
It intends to avoid merging the initial and final states of the NFA,

would cause that, it failed to consider the combined effects of all the
state merges that that trigram's removal would cause. This could result
in a broken final graph that would never match anything, leading to GIN
or GiST indexscans not finding anything.
To fix, add a "tentParent" field that is used only within this loop,
and set it to show state merges that we are tentatively going to do.
While examining a particular arc, we must chase up through tentParent
links as well as regular parent links (the former can only appear atop
the latter), and we must account for state init/fin flag merges that
haven't actually been done yet.
To simplify the latter, combine the separate init and fin bool fields

Fix sloppy handling of corner-case errors in fd.c.
Several places in fd.c had badly-thought-through handling of error returns
from lseek() and close(). The fact that those would seldom fail on valid
FDs is probably the reason we've not noticed this up to now; but if they
did fail, we'd get quite confused.
LruDelete and LruInsert actually just Assert'd that lseek never fails,
which is pretty awful on its face.
In LruDelete, we indeed can't throw an error, because that's likely to get
called during error abort and so throwing an error would probably just lead
to an infinite loop. But by the same token, throwing an error from the
close() right after that was ill-advised, not to mention that it would've
left the LRU state corrupted since we'd already unlinked the VFD from the
list. I also noticed that really, most of the time, we should know the
current seek position and it shouldn't be necessary to do an lseek here at
all. As patched, if we don't have a seek position and an lseek attempt
doesn't give us one, we'll close the file but then subsequent re-open
attempts will fail (except in the somewhat-unlikely case that a
FileSeek(SEEK_SET) call comes between and allows us to re-establish a known
target seek position). This isn't great but it won't result in any state
corruption.
Meanwhile, having an Assert instead of an honest test in LruInsert is
really dangerous: if that lseek failed, a subsequent read or write would
read or write from the start of the file, not where the caller expected,
leading to data corruption.
In both LruDelete and FileClose, if close() fails, just LOG that and mark
the VFD closed anyway. Possibly leaking an FD is preferable to getting
into an infinite loop or corrupting the VFD list. Besides, as far as I can
tell from the POSIX spec, it's unspecified whether or not the file has been
closed, so treating it as still open could be the wrong thing anyhow.
I also fixed a number of other places that were being sloppy about
behaving correctly when the seekPos is unknown.
Also, I changed FileSeek to return -1 with EINVAL for the cases where it
detects a bad offset, rather than throwing a hard elog(ERROR). It seemed
pretty inconsistent that some bad-offset cases would get a failure return
while others got elog(ERROR). It was missing an offset validity check for
the SEEK_CUR case on a closed file, too.

Make sure that hash join's bulk-tuple-transfer loops are interruptible.
The loops in ExecHashJoinNewBatch(), ExecHashIncreaseNumBatches(), and
ExecHashRemoveNextSkewBucket() are all capable of iterating over many
tuples without ever doing a CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS, so that the backend
might fail to respond to SIGINT or SIGTERM for an unreasonably long time.
Fix that. In the case of ExecHashJoinNewBatch(), it seems useful to put
the added CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS into ExecHashJoinGetSavedTuple() rather
than directly in the loop, because that will also ensure that both
principal code paths through ExecHashJoinOuterGetTuple() will do a
CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS, which seems like a good idea to avoid surprises.

Blind try to fix portability issue in commit

The S/390 members of the buildfarm are showing failures indicating

There's no good reason for that, and I wonder if it is a compiler bug
similar to the one we worked around in
d9476b838. Try to fix it using
the same method as before, namely to store the result of rint() back
into a "double" variable rather than immediately converting to int64.
(This isn't entirely waving a dead chicken, since on machines with
wider-than-double float registers, the extra store forces a width
conversion. I don't know if S/390 is like that, but it seems worth
trying.)

Fix roundoff problems in float8_timestamptz() and make_interval().
When converting a float value to integer microseconds, we should be careful
to round the value to the nearest integer, typically with rint(); simply
assigning to an int64 variable will truncate, causing apparently off-by-one
values in cases that should work. Most places in the datetime code got
this right, but not these two.
float8_timestamptz() is new as of commit
e511d878f (9.6). Previous
versions effectively depended on interval_mul() to do roundoff correctly,
which it does, so this fixes an accuracy regression in 9.6.
The problem in make_interval() dates to its introduction in 9.4. Aside
from being careful to round not truncate, let's incorporate the hours and
minutes inputs into the result with exact integer arithmetic, rather than
risk introducing roundoff error where there need not have been any.

not his proposed patch. make_interval() problem found by me.

Avoid returning stale attribute bitmaps in RelationGetIndexAttrBitmap().
The problem with the original coding here is that we might receive (and
clear) a relcache invalidation signal for the target relation down inside
one of the index_open calls we're doing. Since the target is open, we
would not drop the relcache entry, just reset its rd_indexvalid and
rd_indexlist fields. But RelationGetIndexAttrBitmap() kept going, and
would eventually cache and return potentially-obsolete attribute bitmaps.
The case where this matters is where the inval signal was from a CREATE
INDEX CONCURRENTLY telling us about a new index on a formerly-unindexed
column. (In all other cases, the lock we hold on the target rel should
prevent any concurrent change in index state.) Even just returning the
stale attribute bitmap is not such a problem, because it shouldn't matter
during the transaction in which we receive the signal. What hurts is
caching the stale data, because it can survive into later transactions,
breaking CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY's expectation that later transactions
will not create new broken HOT chains. The upshot is that there's a window
for building corrupted indexes during CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY.
This patch fixes the problem by rechecking that the set of index OIDs
is still the same at the end of RelationGetIndexAttrBitmap() as it was
at the start. If not, we loop back and try again. That's a little
more than is strictly necessary to fix the bug --- in principle, we
could return the stale data but not cache it --- but it seems like a
bad idea on general principles for relcache to return data it knows
is stale.
There might be more hazards of the same ilk, or there might be a better
way to fix this one, but this patch definitely improves matters and seems
unlikely to make anything worse. So let's push it into today's releases
even as we continue to study the problem.

Prefer int-wide pg_atomic_flag over char-wide when using gcc intrinsics.
configure can only probe the existence of gcc intrinsics, not how well
they're implemented, and unfortunately the answer is sometimes "badly".
In particular we've found that multiple compilers fail to implement
char-width __sync_lock_test_and_set() correctly on PPC; and even a correct
implementation would necessarily be pretty inefficient, since that hardware
has only a word-wide primitive to work with.
Given the knowledge we've accumulated in s_lock.h, it appears that it's
best to rely on int-width TAS operations on most non-Intel architectures.
Hence, pick int not char when both are nominally available to us in
generic-gcc.h (note that that code is not used for x86[_64]).
Back-patch to fix regression test failures on FreeBSD/PPC. Ordinarily
back-patching a change like this would be verboten because of ABI breakage.
But since pg_atomic_flag is not yet used in any Postgres data structure,
there's no ABI to break. It seems safer to back-patch to avoid possible
gotchas, if someday we do back-patch something that uses pg_atomic_flag.

Fix interval_transform so it doesn't throw away non-no-op casts.
interval_transform() contained two separate bugs that caused it to
sometimes mistakenly decide that a cast from interval to restricted
interval is a no-op and throw it away.
First, it was wrong to rely on dt.h's field type macros to have an
ordering consistent with the field's significance; in one case they do
not. This led to mistakenly treating YEAR as less significant than MONTH,
so that a cast from INTERVAL MONTH to INTERVAL YEAR was incorrectly
discarded.
Second, fls(1<<k) produces k+1 not k, so comparing its output directly
to SECOND was wrong. This led to supposing that a cast to INTERVAL
MINUTE was really a cast to INTERVAL SECOND and so could be discarded.
To fix, get rid of the use of fls(), and make a function based on
intervaltypmodout to produce a field ID code adapted to the need here.

Remove triggerable Assert in hashname().
hashname() asserted that the key string it is given is shorter than
NAMEDATALEN. That should surely always be true if the input is in fact a
regular value of type "name". However, for reasons of coding convenience,
we allow plain old C strings to be treated as "name" values in many places.
Some SQL functions accept arbitrary "text" inputs, convert them to C
strings, and pass them otherwise-untransformed to syscache lookups for name
columns, allowing an overlength input value to trigger hashname's Assert.
This would be a DOS problem, except that it only happens in assert-enabled
builds which aren't recommended for production. In a production build,
you'll just get a name lookup error, since regardless of the hash value
computed by hashname, the later equality comparison checks can't match.
Likewise, if the catalog lookup is done by seqscan or indexscan searches,
there will just be a lookup error, since the name comparison functions
don't contain any similar length checks, and will see an overlength input
as unequal to any stored entry.
After discussion we concluded that we should simply remove this Assert.
It's inessential to hashname's own functionality, and having such an
assertion in only some paths for name lookup is more of a foot-gun than
a useful check. There may or may not be a case for the affected callers
to do something other than let the name lookup fail, but we'll consider
that separately; in any case we probably don't want to change such
behavior in the back branches.

and in either order, but the tab completion was only working for one or

instead were completeing to what 'GRANT X ON' supports, which isn't the

Fix handling of expanded objects in CoerceToDomain and CASE execution.
When the input value to a CoerceToDomain expression node is a read-write
expanded datum, we should pass a read-only pointer to any domain CHECK
expressions and then return the original read-write pointer as the
expression result. Previously we were blindly passing the same pointer to
all the consumers of the value, making it possible for a function in CHECK
to modify or even delete the expanded value. (Since a plpgsql function
will absorb a passed-in read-write expanded array as a local variable
value, it will in fact delete the value on exit.)
A similar hazard of passing the same read-write pointer to multiple
consumers exists in domain_check() and in ExecEvalCase, so fix those too.
The fix requires adding MakeExpandedObjectReadOnly calls at the appropriate
places, which is simple enough except that we need to get the data type's
typlen from somewhere. For the domain cases, solve this by redefining
DomainConstraintRef.tcache as okay for callers to access; there wasn't any
