It doesn't like code before "use strict;". (cherry picked from commit ed2c2d063bd110f299211611b72a5dbe07a4d7be)
This was fixed for MSVC tools by commit 1df92eeafefac4, but per buildfarm member bowerbird genbki.pl needs the same treatment. Backpatch to all live branches. (cherry picked from commit 51884fa16a179852ec851172a72588d8e84ec05e)
To test pg_upgrade across major PG versions, we have to be able to modify or drop any old objects with no-longer-supported properties, and we have to be able to deal with cosmetic changes in pg_dump output. Up to now, the buildfarm and pg_upgrade's own test infrastructure had separate implementations of the former, and we had nothing but very ad-hoc rules for the latter (including an arbitrary threshold on how many lines of unchecked diff were okay!). This patch creates a Perl module that can be shared by both those use-cases, and adds logic that deals with pg_dump output diffs in a much more tightly defined fashion. This largely supersedes previous efforts in commits 0df9641d3, 9814ff550, and 62be9e4cd, which developed a SQL-script-based solution for the task of dropping old objects. There was nothing fundamentally wrong with that work in itself, but it had no basis for solving the output-formatting problem. The most plausible way to deal with formatting is to build a Perl module that can perform editing on the dump files; and once we commit to that, it makes more sense for the same module to also embed the knowledge of what has to be done for dropping old objects. Back-patch versions of the helper module as far as 9.2, to support buildfarm animals that still test that far back. It's also necessary to back-patch PostgreSQL/Version.pm, because the new code depends on that. I fixed up pg_upgrade's 002_pg_upgrade.pl in v15, but did not look into back-patching it further than that. Tom Lane and Andrew Dunstan Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/891521.1673657296@sss.pgh.pa.us
Upstream SELinux has recently marked security_context_t as officially deprecated, causing warnings with -Wdeprecated-declarations. This is considered as legacy code for some time now by upstream as security_context_t got removed from most of the code tree during the development of 2.3 back in 2014. This removes all the references to security_context_t in sepgsql/ to be consistent with SELinux, fixing the warnings. Note that this does not impact the minimum version of libselinux supported. This has been applied first as 1f32136 for 14~, but no other branches got the call. This is in line with the recent project policy to have no warnings in branches where builds should still be supported (9.2~ as of today). Per discussion with Tom Lane and Álvaro Herrera.

In the latest version of Apple's macOS SDK, <sys/socket.h> fails to compile if "REF" is #define'd as something. Apple may or may not agree that this is a bug, and even if they do accept the bug report I filed, they probably won't fix it very quickly. In the meantime, our back branches will all fail to compile gram.y. v15 and HEAD currently escape the problem thanks to the refactoring done in 98e93a1fc, but that's purely accidental. Moreover, since that patch removed a widely-visible inclusion of <netdb.h>, back-patching it seems too likely to break third-party code. Instead, change the token's code name to REF_P, following our usual convention for naming parser tokens that are likely to have symbol conflicts. The effects of that should be localized to the grammar and immediately surrounding files, so it seems like a safer answer. Per project policy that we want to keep recently-out-of-support branches buildable on modern systems, back-patch all the way to 9.2. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/1803927.1665938411@sss.pgh.pa.us
Back-port commit 16fbac39f into 9.3 and 9.2, so that these out-of-support branches can be built with clang without wading through a pile of warnings about strlcpy and related functions. check_decls.m4 required some adaptation to work with autoconf 2.63, but nothing too major.

Mop up assorted set-but-not-used warnings in the back branches. This includes back-patching relevant fixes from commit 152c9f7b8 the rest of the way, but there are also several cases that did not appear in HEAD. Some of those we'd fixed in a retail way but not back-patched, and others I think just got rewritten out of existence during nearby refactoring. While here, also back-patch b1980f6d0 (PL/Tcl: Fix compiler warnings with Tcl 8.6) into 9.2, so that that branch compiles warning-free with modern Tcl. Per project policy, this is a candidate for back-patching into out-of-support branches: it suppresses annoying compiler warnings but changes no behavior. Hence, back-patch all the way to 9.2.

There doesn't seem to be any good ABI-preserving way to silence clang 15's -Wdeprecated-non-prototype warnings about our tree-walk APIs. While we've fixed it properly in HEAD, the only way to not see hundreds of these in the back branches is to disable the warnings. We're not going to do anything about them, so we might as well disable them. I noticed that we also get some of these warnings about fmgr.c's support for V0 function call convention, in branches before v10 where we removed that. That's another area we aren't going to change, so turning off the warning seems fine for that too. Per project policy, this is a candidate for back-patching into out-of-support branches: it suppresses annoying compiler warnings but changes no behavior. Hence, back-patch all the way to 9.2.

Perl 5.36 has reclassified the warning condition that this test case used, so that the expected error fails to appear. Tweak the test so it instead exercises a case that's handled the same way in all Perl versions of interest. This appears to meet our standards for back-patching into out-of-support branches: it changes no user-visible behavior but enables testing of old branches with newer tools. Hence, back-patch as far as 9.2. Dagfinn Ilmari Mannsåker, per report from Jitka Plesníková. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/564579.1654093326@sss.pgh.pa.us
In the normal configuration where GEQO_DEBUG isn't defined, recent clang versions have started to complain that geqo_main.c accumulates the edge_failures count but never does anything with it. As a minimal back-patchable fix, insert a void cast to silence this warning. (I'd speculated about ripping out the GEQO_DEBUG logic altogether, but I don't think we'd wish to back-patch that.) Per recently-established project policy, this is a candidate for back-patching into out-of-support branches: it suppresses an annoying compiler warning but changes no behavior. Hence, back-patch all the way to 9.2. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CA+hUKGLTSZQwES8VNPmWO9AO0wSeLt36OCPDAZTccT1h7Q7kTQ@mail.gmail.com
