Windows versions later than Windows Server 2003 map "localhost" to ::1.
Account for that in the generated pg_hba.conf, fixing another oversight
in commit f6dc6dd5ba. Back-patch to 9.0,
like that commit.
David Rowley and Noah Misch
Back-patch to 9.0 (all supported versions). This is mere
future-proofing in the context of the master branch, but commit
f6dc6dd5ba requires it of older branches.
Use SSPI authentication to allow connections exclusively from the OS
user that launched the test suite. This closes on Windows the
vulnerability that commit be76a6d39e
closed on other platforms. Users of "make installcheck" or custom test
harnesses can run "pg_regress --config-auth=DATADIR" to activate the
same authentication configuration that "make check" would use.
Back-patch to 9.0 (all supported versions).
Security: CVE-2014-0067
This function is pervasive on free software operating systems; import
NetBSD's implementation. Back-patch to 8.4, like the commit that will
harness it.
config.pl and buildenv.pl can be used to customize build settings when
using MSVC. They should never get committed into the common source tree.
Back-patch to 9.0; it looks like the rules were different in 8.4.

This has probably been broken for quite a long time. Buildfarm member
currawong's current results suggest that it's been broken since 9.1, so
backpatch this to that branch.
This only supports Python 2 - I will handle Python 3 separately, but
this is a fairly simple fix.
The ASLR in Windows 8/Windows 2012 can break PostgreSQL's shared memory. It
doesn't fail every time (which is explained by the Random part in ASLR), but
can fail with errors abut failing to reserve shared memory region.

Providing this information as plain text was doubtless worth the trouble
ten years ago, but it seems likely that hardly anyone reads it in this
format anymore. And the effort required to maintain these files (in the
form of extra-complex markup rules in the relevant parts of the SGML
documentation) is significant. So, let's stop doing that and rely solely
on the other documentation formats.
Per discussion, the plain-text INSTALL instructions might still be worth
their keep, so we continue to generate that file.
Rather than remove HISTORY and src/test/regress/README from distribution
tarballs entirely, replace them with simple stub files that tell the reader
where to find the relevant documentation. This is mainly to avoid possibly
breaking packaging recipes that expect these files to exist.
Back-patch to all supported branches, because simplifying the markup
requirements for release notes won't help much unless we do it in all
branches.
This appears to cause some intermittent file system problems
on Windows 8. Instead, set up the old data directory in its
intended final location to start with.
This ensure the version number increases over time. The first three digits
in the version number is still set to the actual PostgreSQL version
number, but the last one is intended to be an ever increasing build number,
which previosly failed when it changed between 1, 2 and 3 digits long values.

This was removed in commit cd00406774,
we're not quite sure why, but there have been reports of crashes due
to AS Perl being built with it when we are not, and it certainly
seems like the right thing to do. There is still some uncertainty
as to why it sometimes fails and sometimes doesn't.
Original patch from Owais Khani, substantially reworked and
extended by Andrew Dunstan.
The header file is needed by any module that wants to use the PL/pgSQL
instrumentation plugin interface. Most notably, the pldebugger plugin needs
this. With this patch, it can be built using pgxs, without having the full
server source tree available.
This makes it much more convenient to build tools for Postgres that are
separately compiled and require a matching CRC implementation.
To prevent multiple copies of the CRC polynomial tables being introduced
into the postgres binaries, they are now included in the static library
libpgport that is mainly meant for replacement system functions. That
seems like a bit of a kludge, but there's no better place.
This cleans up building of the tools pg_controldata and pg_resetxlog,
which previously had to build their own copies of pg_crc.o.
In the future, external programs that need access to the CRC tables can
include the tables directly from the new header file pg_crc_tables.h.

Per recent work by Peter Geoghegan, it's significantly faster to
tuplesort on a single sortkey if ApplySortComparator is inlined into
quicksort rather reached via a function pointer. It's also faster
in general to have a version of quicksort which is specialized for
sorting SortTuple objects rather than objects of arbitrary size and
type. This requires a couple of additional copies of the quicksort
logic, which in this patch are generate using a Perl script. There
might be some benefit in adding further specializations here too,
but thus far it's not clear that those gains are worth their weight
in code footprint.
