c.h #includes a number of core libc header files, such as <stdio.h>. There's no point in re-including these after having read postgres.h, postgres_fe.h, or c.h; so remove code that did so. While at it, also fix some places that were ignoring our standard pattern of "include postgres[_fe].h, then system header files, then other Postgres header files". While there's not any great magic in doing it that way rather than system headers last, it's silly to have just a few files deviating from the general pattern. (But I didn't attempt to enforce this globally, only in files I was touching anyway.) I'd be the first to say that this is mostly compulsive neatnik-ism, but over time it might save enough compile cycles to be useful.

DST law changes in northern Cyprus (new zone Asia/Famagusta), Russia (new zone Europe/Saratov), Tonga, Antarctica/Casey. Historical corrections for Asia/Aqtau, Asia/Atyrau, Asia/Gaza, Asia/Hebron, Italy, Malta. Replace invented zone abbreviation "TOT" for Tonga with numeric UTC offset; but as in the past, we'll keep accepting "TOT" for input.

The workaround the IANA guys chose to get rid of the clang warning we'd silenced in commit 23ed2ba8 turns out not to satisfy Coverity. Go back to the previous solution, ie, remove the useless comparison to SIZE_MAX. (In principle, there could be machines out there where it's not useless because ptrdiff_t is wider than size_t. But the whole thing is pretty academic anyway, as we could never approach this limit for any sane estimate of the amount of data that zic will ever be asked to work with.) Also, s/lineno/lineno_t/g, because if we accept their decision to start using "lineno" as a typedef, it is going to have very unpleasant consequences in our next pgindent run. Noted that while fooling with pltcl yesterday.

This patch absorbs some unreleased fixes for symlink manipulation bugs introduced in tzcode 2016g. Ordinarily I'd wait around for a released version, but in this case it seems like we could do with extra testing, in particular checking whether it works in EDB's VMware build environment. This corresponds to commit aec59156abbf8472ba201b6c7ca2592f9c10e077 in https://github.com/eggert/tz. Per a report from Sandeep Thakkar, building in an environment where hard links are not supported in the timezone data installation directory failed, because upstream code refactoring had broken the case of symlinking from an existing symlink. Further experimentation also showed that the symlinks were sometimes made incorrectly, with too many or too few "../"'s in the symlink contents. This should get back-patched, but first let's see what the buildfarm makes of it. I'm not too sure about the new dependency on linkat(2).

I broke this in commit f3094920. Apparently it's dead code anyway, at least as far as our buildfarm is concerned (and the upstream IANA code doesn't worry at all about symlink() not being present). But as long as the rest of our code is willing to guard against not having symlink(), this should too. Noted while investigating a tangentially-related complaint from Sandeep Thakkar. Back-patch to keep branches in sync.

DST law changes in Turkey. Historical corrections for America/Los_Angeles, Europe/Kirov, Europe/Moscow, Europe/Samara, and Europe/Ulyanovsk. Rename Asia/Rangoon to Asia/Yangon, with a backward compatibility link. The IANA crew continue their campaign to replace invented time zone abbrevations with numeric GMT offsets. This update changes numerous zones in Antarctica and the former Soviet Union, for instance Antarctica/Casey now reports "+08" not "AWST" in the pg_timezone_names view. I kept these abbreviations in the tznames/ data files, however, so that we will still accept them for input. (We may want to start trimming those files someday, but today is not that day.) An exception is that since IANA no longer claims that "AMT" is in use in Armenia for GMT+4, I replaced it in the Default file with GMT-4, corresponding to Amazon Time which is in use in South America. It may be that that meaning is also invented and IANA will drop it in a future update; but for now, it seems silly to give pride of place to a meaning not traceable to IANA over one that is.

After further reflection about the mess cleaned up in commit 39b691f2, I decided the main bit of test coverage that was still missing was to check that the non-default abbreviation-set files we supply are usable. Add that. Back-patch to supported branches, just because it seems like a good idea to keep this all in sync.

Commit b2cbced9 instituted a policy of referring to the timezone database as the "IANA timezone database" in our user-facing documentation. Propagate that wording into a couple of places that were still using "zic" to refer to the database, which is definitely not right (zic is the compilation tool, not the data). Back-patch, not because this is very important in itself, but because we routinely cherry-pick updates to the tznames files and I don't want to risk future merge failures.

DST law changes in Kemerovo and Novosibirsk. Historical corrections for Azerbaijan, Belarus, and Morocco. Asia/Novokuznetsk and Asia/Novosibirsk now use numeric time zone abbreviations instead of invented ones. Zones for Antarctic bases and other locations that have been uninhabited for portions of the time span known to the tzdata database now report "-00" rather than "zzz" as the zone abbreviation for those time spans. Also, I decided to remove some of the timezone/data/ files that we don't use. At one time that subdirectory was a complete copy of what IANA distributes in the tzdata tarballs, but that hasn't been true for a long time. There seems no good reason to keep shipping those specific files but not others; they're just bloating our tarballs.

While syncing our timezone code with IANA's updates in commit 1c1a7cbd, I'd chosen not to adopt the code they conditionally compile under #ifdef ALL_STATE. The main thing that that drives is that the space for gmtime and localtime timezone definitions isn't statically allocated, but is malloc'd on first use. I reasoned we didn't need that logic: we don't have localtime() at all, and we always initialize TimeZone to GMT so we always need that one. But there is one other thing ALL_STATE does, which is to make tzload() malloc its transient workspace instead of just declaring it as a local variable. It turns out that that local variable occupies 78K. Even worse is that, at least for common US timezone settings, there's a recursive call to parse the "posixrules" zone name, making peak stack consumption to select a time zone upwards of 150K. That's an uncomfortably large fraction of our STACK_DEPTH_SLOP safety margin, and could result in outright crashes if we try to reduce STACK_DEPTH_SLOP as has been discussed recently. Furthermore, this means that the postmaster's peak stack consumption is several times that of a backend running typical queries (since, except on Windows, backends inherit the timezone GUC values and don't ever run this code themselves unless you do SET TIMEZONE). That's completely backwards from a safety perspective. Hence, adopt the ALL_STATE rather than non-ALL_STATE variant of tzload(), while not changing the other code aspects that symbol controls. The risk of an ENOMEM error from malloc() seems less than that of a SIGSEGV from stack overrun. This should probably get back-patched along with 1c1a7cbd and followon fixes, whenever we decide we have enough confidence in the updates to do that.

I should have remembered that we can't use INT64_MODIFIER with sscanf(): configure chooses that to work with snprintf(), but it might be for our src/port/snprintf.c implementation and so not compatible with the platform's sscanf(). This appears to be the explanation for buildfarm member frogmouth's continuing unhappiness with the tzcode update. Fortunately, in all of the places where zic is attempting to read into an int64 variable, it's reading a year which certainly will fit just fine into an int. So make it read into an int with %d, and then cast or copy as necessary.

This brings us a bit closer to matching upstream, but since it affects files outside src/timezone/, we might choose not to back-patch it. Hence keep it separate from the main update patch.

We hadn't done this in about six years, which proves to have been a mistake because there's been a lot of code churn upstream, making the merge rather painful. But putting it off any further isn't going to lessen the pain, and there are at least two incompatible changes that we need to absorb before someone starts complaining that --with-system-tzdata doesn't work at all on their platform, or we get blindsided by a tzdata release that our out-of-date zic can't compile. Last week's "time zone abbreviation differs from POSIX standard" mess was a wake-up call in that regard. This is a sufficiently large patch that I'm afraid to back-patch it immediately, though the foregoing considerations imply that we probably should do so eventually. For the moment, just put it in HEAD so that it can get some testing. Maybe we can wait till the end of the 9.6 beta cycle before deeming it okay.

We really need to sync all of our IANA-derived timezone code with upstream, but that's going to be a large patch and I certainly don't care to shove such a thing into stable branches immediately before a release. As a stopgap, copy just the tzcode2016c logic that checks validity of timezone abbreviations. This prevents getting multiple "time zone abbreviation differs from POSIX standard" bleats with tzdata 2014b and later.

DST law changes in Azerbaijan, Chile, Haiti, Palestine, and Russia (Altai, Astrakhan, Kirov, Sakhalin, Ulyanovsk regions). Historical corrections for Lithuania, Moldova, Russia (Kaliningrad, Samara, Volgograd). As of 2015b, the keepers of the IANA timezone database started to use numeric time zone abbreviations (e.g., "+04") instead of inventing abbreviations not found in the wild like "ASTT". This causes our rather old copy of zic to whine "warning: time zone abbreviation differs from POSIX standard" several times during "make install". This warning is harmless according to the IANA folk, and I don't see any problems with these abbreviations in some simple tests; but it seems like now would be a good time to update our copy of the tzcode stuff. I'll look into that soon.

For some reason this seems to have been missed when the lists in src/timezone/tznames/ were first constructed. We can't put it in Default because of the conflict with US CST, but we should certainly list it among the alternative entries in Asia.txt. (I checked for other oversights, but all the other abbreviations that are in current use according to the IANA files seem to be accounted for.) Noted while responding to bug #12326.

Up to now, PG has assumed that any given timezone abbreviation (such as "EDT") represents a constant GMT offset in the usage of any particular region; we had a way to configure what that offset was, but not for it to be changeable over time. But, as with most things horological, this view of the world is too simplistic: there are numerous regions that have at one time or another switched to a different GMT offset but kept using the same timezone abbreviation. Almost the entire Russian Federation did that a few years ago, and later this month they're going to do it again. And there are similar examples all over the world. To cope with this, invent the notion of a "dynamic timezone abbreviation", which is one that is referenced to a particular underlying timezone (as defined in the IANA timezone database) and means whatever it currently means in that zone. For zones that use or have used daylight-savings time, the standard and DST abbreviations continue to have the property that you can specify standard or DST time and get that time offset whether or not DST was theoretically in effect at the time. However, the abbreviations mean what they meant at the time in question (or most recently before that time) rather than being absolutely fixed. The standard abbreviation-list files have been changed to use this behavior for abbreviations that have actually varied in meaning since 1970. The old simple-numeric definitions are kept for abbreviations that have not changed, since they are a bit faster to resolve. While this is clearly a new feature, it seems necessary to back-patch it into all active branches, because otherwise use of Russian zone abbreviations is going to become even more problematic than it already was. This change supersedes the changes in commit 513d06de et al to modify the fixed meanings of the Russian abbreviations; since we've not shipped that yet, this will avoid an undesirably incompatible (not to mention incorrect) change in behavior for timestamps between 2011 and 2014. This patch makes some cosmetic changes in ecpglib to keep its usage of datetime lookup tables as similar as possible to the backend code, but doesn't do anything about the increasingly obsolete set of timezone abbreviation definitions that are hard-wired into ecpglib. Whatever we do about that will likely not be appropriate material for back-patching. Also, a potential free() of a garbage pointer after an out-of-memory failure in ecpglib has been fixed. This patch also fixes pre-existing bugs in DetermineTimeZoneOffset() that caused it to produce unexpected results near a timezone transition, if both the "before" and "after" states are marked as standard time. We'd only ever thought about or tested transitions between standard and DST time, but that's not what's happening when a zone simply redefines their base GMT offset. In passing, update the SGML documentation to refer to the Olson/zoneinfo/ zic timezone database as the "IANA" database, since it's now being maintained under the auspices of IANA.

Most zones in the Russian Federation are subtracting one or two hours as of 2014-10-26. Update the meanings of the abbreviations IRKT, KRAT, MAGT, MSK, NOVT, OMST, SAKT, VLAT, YAKT, YEKT to match. The IANA timezone database has adopted abbreviations of the form AxST/AxDT for all Australian time zones, reflecting what they believe to be current majority practice Down Under. These names do not conflict with usage elsewhere (other than ACST for Acre Summer Time, which has been in disuse since 1994). Accordingly, adopt these names into our "Default" timezone abbreviation set. The "Australia" abbreviation set now contains only CST,EAST,EST,SAST,SAT,WST, all of which are thought to be mostly historical usage. Note that SAST has also been changed to be South Africa Standard Time in the "Default" abbreviation set. Add zone abbreviations SRET (Asia/Srednekolymsk) and XJT (Asia/Urumqi), and use WSST/WSDT for western Samoa. Also a DST law change in the Turks & Caicos Islands (America/Grand_Turk), and numerous corrections for historical time zone data.

This updates known_abbrevs.txt to be what it should have been already, were my -P patch not broken; and updates some tznames/ entries that missed getting any love in previous timezone data updates because zic failed to flag the change of abbreviation. The non-cosmetic updates: * Remove references to "ADT" as "Arabia Daylight Time", an abbreviation that's been out of use since 2007; therefore, claiming there is a conflict with "Atlantic Daylight Time" doesn't seem especially helpful. (We have left obsolete entries in the files when they didn't conflict with anything, but that seems like a different situation.) * Fix entirely incorrect GMT offsets for CKT (Cook Islands), FJT, FJST (Fiji); we didn't even have them on the proper side of the date line. (Seems to have been aboriginal errors in our tznames data; there's no evidence anything actually changed recently.) * FKST (Falkland Islands Summer Time) is now used all year round, so don't mark it as a DST abbreviation. * Update SAKT (Sakhalin) to mean GMT+11 not GMT+10. In cosmetic changes, I fixed a bunch of wrong (or at least obsolete) claims about abbreviations not being present in the zic files, and tried to be consistent about how obsolete abbreviations are labeled. Note the underlying timezone/data files are still at release 2014e; this is just trying to get us in sync with what those files actually say before we go to the next update.

The quick hack I added to zic to dump out currently-in-use timezone abbreviations turns out to have a nasty bug: within each zone, it was printing the last "struct ttinfo" to be *defined*, not necessarily the last one in use. This was mainly a problem in zones that had changed the meaning of their zone abbreviation (to another GMT offset value) and later changed it back. As a result of this error, we'd missed out updating the tznames/ files for some jurisdictions that have changed their zone abbreviations since the tznames/ files were originally created. I'll address the missing data updates in a separate commit.
