Commit c6f2f01611 purported to make
this work, but problems remained. In a plain-format backup, the
files from an in-place tablespace got included in the tar file for
the main tablespace, which is wrong but it's not clear that it
has any user-visible consequences. In a tar-format backup, the
TABLESPACE_MAP option is used, and so we never iterated over
pg_tblspc and thus never backed up the in-place tablespaces
anywhere at all.
To fix this, reverse the changes in that commit, so that when we scan
pg_tblspc during a backup, we create tablespaceinfo objects even for
in-place tablespaces. We set the field that would normally contain the
absolute pathname to the relative path pg_tblspc/${TSOID}, and that's
good enough to make basebackup.c happy without any further changes.
However, pg_basebackup needs a couple of adjustments to make it work.
First, it needs to understand that a relative path for a tablespace
means it's an in-place tablespace. Second, it needs to tolerate the
situation where restoring the main tablespace tries to create
pg_tblspc or a subdirectory and finds that it already exists, because
we restore user-defined tablespaces before the main tablespace.
Since in-place tablespaces are only intended for use in development
and testing, no back-patch.

zstd compression supports a special mode for finding matched in distant
past, which may result in better compression ratio, at the expense of
using more memory (the window size is 128MB).
To enable this optional mode, use the "long" keyword when specifying the

PG_COMPRESSION_OPTION_LEVEL is removed from the compression
specification logic, and instead the compression level is always
assigned with each library's default if nothing is directly given. This
centralizes the checks on the compression methods supported by a given
build, and always assigns a default compression level when parsing a
compression specification. This results in complaining at an earlier
stage than previously if a build supports a compression method or not,
aka when parsing a specification in the backend or the frontend, and not
when processing it. zstd, lz4 and zlib are able to handle in their
respective routines setting up the compression level the case of a
default value, hence the backend or frontend code (pg_receivewal or
pg_basebackup) has now no need to know what the default compression
level should be if nothing is specified: the logic is now done so as the
specification parsing assigns it. It can also be enforced by passing
down a "level" set to the default value, that the backend will accept
(the replication protocol is for example able to handle a command like
BASE_BACKUP (COMPRESSION_DETAIL 'gzip:level=-1')).
This code simplification fixes an issue with pg_basebackup --gzip
introduced by ffd5365, where the tarball of the streamed WAL segments
would be created as of pg_wal.tar.gz with uncompressed contents, while
the intention is to compress the segments with gzip at a default level.
The origin of the confusion comes from the handling of the default
compression level of gzip (-1 or Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION) and the value of
0 was getting assigned, which is what walmethods.c would consider
as equivalent to no compression when streaming WAL segments with its tar
methods. Assigning always the compression level removes the confusion
of some code paths considering a value of 0 set in a specification as
either no compression or a default compression level.
Note that 010_pg_basebackup.pl has to be adjusted to skip a few tests
where the shape of the compression detail string for client and
server-side compression was checked using gzip. This is a result of the
code simplification, as gzip specifications cannot be used if a build
does not support it.

Since babbbb5 and the introduction of LZ4 in pg_receivewal, the
compression of the WAL archived is controlled by two options:
- --compression-method with "gzip", "none" or "lz4" as possible value.
- --compress=N to specify a compression level. This includes a
backward-incompatible change where a value of 0 leads to a failure
instead of no compression enforced.
This commit takes advantage of a4b5754 and 3603f7c to rework the
compression options of pg_receivewal, as of:
- The removal of --compression-method.
- The extenction of --compress to use the same grammar as pg_basebackup,
with a METHOD:DETAIL format, where a METHOD is "gzip", "none" or "lz4"
and a DETAIL is a comma-separated list of options, the only keyword
supported is now "level" to control the compression level. If only an
integer is specified as value of this option, "none" is implied on 0
and "gzip" is implied otherwise. This brings back --compress to be
backward-compatible with ~14, while still supporting LZ4.
This has also the advantage of centralizing the set of checks used by
pg_receivewal to validate its compression options.

The previous method for doing that was to write zeroes into a
predetermined set of page locations. However, there's a roughly
1-in-64K chance that the existing checksum will match by chance,
and yesterday several buildfarm animals started to reproducibly
see that, resulting in test failures because no checksum mismatch
was reported.
Since the checksum includes the page LSN, test success depends on
the length of the installation's WAL history, which is affected by
(at least) the initial catalog contents, the set of locales installed
on the system, and the length of the pathname of the test directory.
Sooner or later we were going to hit a chance match, and today is
that day.
Harden these tests by specifically inverting the checksum field and
leaving all else alone, thereby guaranteeing that the checksum is
incorrect.
In passing, fix places that were using seek() to set up for syswrite(),
a combination that the Perl docs very explicitly warn against. We've
probably escaped problems because no regular buffered I/O is done on
these filehandles; but if it ever breaks, we wouldn't deserve or get

Although we've only seen problems in HEAD, now that we recognize the
environmental dependencies it seems like it might be just a matter
of time until someone manages to hit this in back-branch testing.

There are more compression parameters that can be specified than just
an integer compression level, so rename the new COMPRESSION_LEVEL
option to COMPRESSION_DETAIL before it gets released. Introduce a
flexible syntax for that option to allow arbitrary options to be
specified without needing to adjust the main replication grammar,
and common code to parse it that is shared between the client and
the server.
This commit doesn't actually add any new compression parameters,
so the only user-visible change is that you can now type something
like pg_basebackup --compress gzip:level=5 instead of writing just
pg_basebackup --compress gzip:5. However, it should make it easy to
add new options. If for example gzip starts offering fries, we can
support pg_basebackup --compress gzip:level=5,fries=true for the
benefit of users who want fries with that.
Along the way, this fixes a few things in pg_basebackup so that the
pg_basebackup can be used with a server-side compression algorithm
that pg_basebackup itself does not understand. For example,
pg_basebackup --compress server-lz4 could still succeed even if
only the server and not the client has LZ4 support, provided that
the other options to pg_basebackup don't require the client to
decompress the archive.

pg_basebackup now has a --target=TARGET[:DETAIL] option. If specfied,
it is sent to the server as the value of the TARGET option to the
BASE_BACKUP command. If DETAIL is included, it is sent as the value of
the new TARGET_DETAIL option to the BASE_BACKUP command. If the
target is anything other than 'client', pg_basebackup assumes that it
will now be the server's job to write the backup in a location somehow
defined by the target, and that it therefore needs to write nothing
locally. However, the server will still send messages to the client
for progress reporting purposes.
On the server side, we now support two additional types of backup
targets. There is a 'blackhole' target, which just throws away the
backup data without doing anything at all with it. Naturally, this
should only be used for testing and debugging purposes, since you will
not actually have a backup when it finishes running. More usefully,
there is also a 'server' target, so you can now use something like
'pg_basebackup -Xnone -t server:/SOME/PATH' to write a backup to some
location on the server. We can extend this to more types of targets
in the future, and might even want to create an extensibility
mechanism for adding new target types.
Since WAL fetching is handled with separate client-side logic, it's
not part of this mechanism; thus, backups with non-default targets
must use -Xnone or -Xfetch.

By default, wait_for_catchup() waits for the replication connection
to reach the primary's write LSN. That's fine, but in an apparent
attempt to save one query round-trip, it was coded so that we
executed pg_current_wal_lsn() again during each probe query.
Thus, we presented the standby with a moving target to be reached.
(While the test script itself couldn't be causing the write LSN
to advance while it's blocked in wait_for_catchup(), it's plenty
plausible that background activity such as autovacuum is emitting
more WAL.) That could make the test take longer than necessary,
and potentially it could mask bugs by allowing the standby to process
more WAL than a strict interpretation of the test scenario allows.
So, change wait_for_catchup() to do it "by the book", explicitly
collecting the write LSN to wait for at the outset.
Also, various call sites were instructing wait_for_catchup() to
wait for the standby to reach the primary's insert LSN rather than
its write LSN. This also seems like a bad idea. While in most
test scenarios those are the same, if they are different then the
inserted-but-not-yet-written WAL is not presently available to the
standby. The test isn't doing anything to make it become so, so
again we have the potential for unwanted test delay, perhaps even
a test timeout. (Again, background activity would be needed to
make this more than a hypothetical problem.) Hence, change the
callers where necessary so that the wait target is always the
primary's write LSN.
While at it, simplify callers by making use of wait_for_catchup's
default arguments wherever possible (the preceding change makes
this possible in more places than it was before). And rewrite
wait_for_catchup's documentation a bit.

pg_receivewal gains a new option, --compression-method=lz4, available
when the code is compiled with --with-lz4. Similarly to gzip, this
gives the possibility to compress archived WAL segments with LZ4. This
option is not compatible with --compress.
The implementation uses LZ4 frames, and is compatible with simple lz4
commands. Like gzip, using --synchronous ensures that any data will be
flushed to disk within the current .partial segment, so as it is
possible to retrieve as much WAL data as possible even from a
non-completed segment (this requires completing the partial file with
zeros up to the WAL segment size supported by the backend after
decompression, but this is the same as gzip).
The calculation of the streaming start LSN is able to transparently find
and check LZ4-compressed segments. Contrary to gzip where the
uncompressed size is directly stored in the object read, the LZ4 chunk
protocol does not store the uncompressed data by default. There is
contentSize that can be used with LZ4 frames by that would not help if
using an archive that includes segments compressed with the defaults of
a "lz4" command, where this is not stored. So, this commit has taken
the most extensible approach by decompressing the already-archived
segment to check its uncompressed size, through a blank output buffer in
chunks of 64kB (no actual performance difference noticed with 8kB, 16kB
or 32kB, and the operation in itself is actually fast).
Tests have been added to verify the creation and correctness of the
generated LZ4 files. The latter is achieved by the use of command
"lz4", if found in the environment.
The tar-based WAL method in walmethods.c, used now only by
pg_basebackup, does not know yet about LZ4. Its code could be extended
for this purpose.

pg_receivewal includes since cada1af the option --compress, to allow the
compression of WAL segments using gzip, with a value of 0 (the default)
meaning that no compression can be used.
This commit introduces a new option, called --compression-method, able
to use as values "none", the default, and "gzip", to make things more
extensible. The case of --compress=0 becomes fuzzy with this option
layer, so we have made the choice to make pg_receivewal return an error
when using "none" and a non-zero compression level, meaning that the
authorized values of --compress are now [1,9] instead of [0,9]. Not
specifying --compress with "gzip" as compression method makes
pg_receivewal use the default of zlib instead (Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION).
The code in charge of finding the streaming start LSN when scanning the
existing archives is refactored and made more extensible. While on it,
rename "compression" to "compression_level" in walmethods.c, to reduce
the confusion with the introduction of the compression method, even if
the tar method used by pg_basebackup does not rely on the compression
method (yet, at least), but just on the compression level (this area
could be improved more, actually).

with a non-default segment size.
- In the last test involving a slot's restart_lsn, generate a checkpoint

Prior to this patch, when running pg_receivewal, the streaming start
point would be the current location of the archives if anything is
found in the local directory where WAL segments are written, and
pg_receivewal would fall back to the current WAL flush location if there
are no archives, as of the result of an IDENTIFY_SYSTEM command.
If for some reason the WAL files from pg_receivewal were moved, it is
better to try a restart where we left at, which is the replication
slot's restart_lsn instead of skipping right to the current flush
location, to avoid holes in the WAL backed up. This commit changes
pg_receivewal to use the following sequence of methods to determine the
starting streaming LSN:
- Scan the local archives.
- Use the slot's restart_lsn, if supported by the backend and if a slot
is defined.
- Fallback to the current flush LSN as reported by IDENTIFY_SYSTEM.
To keep compatibility with older server versions, we only attempt to use
READ_REPLICATION_SLOT if the backend version is at least 15, and
fallback to the older behavior of streaming from the current flush
LSN if the command is not supported.

strtoint(), via strtol(), would skip leading whitespaces but the same
rule was not applied for trailing whitespaces, leading to an
inconsistent behavior. Some tests are changed to cover more this area.

This reverts commit 91d395f, to avoid running those tests on Windows.
The tests are globally stable across all buildfarm members, except
fairywren (crash of pg_receivewal) and bowerdird (SIGBREAK preventing
the buildfarm run to complete). Those errors are rather strange, as
other hosts with very similar characteristics are able to run those
tests without breaking a sweat.
For now, disable those tests on Windows to turn back the buildfarm to
green.
Per discussion with Andrew Dunstan.

This is a revert of 6cea447, that disabled those tests temporarily on
Windows due to failures with bowerbird where gzflush() would fail when
executed on a freshly-opened compressed and partial segment. This
problem should be taken care of now thanks to 7fbe0c8, so let's see what
the buildfarm has to say on Windows for those tests.

As reported by buildfarm member bowerbird, those tests are unstable on
Windows. The failure produced there points to a problem with gzflush(),
that fails to sync a file freshly-opened, with a gzFile properly
opened. While testing this myself with MSVC, I bumped into a different
error where a file could simply not be opened, so this makes me rather
doubtful that testing this area on Windows is a good idea if this
finishes with random concurrency failures. This requires more
investigation, and keeping this buildfarm member red is not a good thing
in the long-term, so for now this just disables this set of tests on
Windows.

The OpenBSD implementation of gzip considers only files suffixed by "Z",
"gz", "z", "tgz" or "taz" as valid targets, discarding anything else and
making a command using --test exit with an error code of 512 if anything
invalid is found. The test introduced in ffc9dda tested a WAL segment
suffixed as .gz.partial, enough to make the test fail.
Testing only a full segment is fine enough in terms of coverage, so
simplify the code by discarding the .gz.partial segment in this check.
This should be enough to make the test pass with OpenBSD environments.
Per report from curculio.
