Up to now, only ECONNRESET (and EPIPE, in most but not quite all places)
received special treatment in our error handling logic. This patch
changes things so that related error codes such as ECONNABORTED are
also recognized as indicating that the connection's dead and unlikely
to come back.
We continue to think, however, that only ECONNRESET and EPIPE should be
reported as probable server crashes; the other cases indicate network
connectivity problems but prove little about the server's state. Thus,
there's no change in the error message texts that are output for such
cases. The key practical effect is that errcode_for_socket_access()
will report ERRCODE_CONNECTION_FAILURE rather than
ERRCODE_INTERNAL_ERROR for a network failure. It's expected that this
will fix buildfarm member lorikeet's failures since commit 32a9c0bdf,
as that seems to be due to not treating ECONNABORTED equivalently to
ECONNRESET.
The set of errnos treated this way now includes ECONNABORTED, EHOSTDOWN,
EHOSTUNREACH, ENETDOWN, ENETRESET, and ENETUNREACH. Several of these
were second-class citizens in terms of their handling in places like
get_errno_symbol(), so upgrade the infrastructure where necessary.
As committed, this patch assumes that all these symbols are defined
everywhere. POSIX specifies all of them except EHOSTDOWN, but that
seems to exist on all platforms of interest; we'll see what the
buildfarm says about that.
Probably this should be back-patched, but let's see what the buildfarm
thinks of it first.

Hack things so that our idea of "struct stat" is equivalent to Windows'
struct __stat64, allowing it to have a wide enough st_size field.
Instead of relying on native stat(), use GetFileInformationByHandle().
This avoids a number of issues with Microsoft's multiple and rather
slipshod emulations of stat(). We still need to jump through hoops
to deal with ERROR_DELETE_PENDING, though :-(
Pull the relevant support code out of dirmod.c and put it into
its own file, win32stat.c.
Still TODO: do we need to do something different with lstat(),
rather than treating it identically to stat()?

Previously we used pg_atomic_write_64_impl inside
pg_atomic_init_u64. That works correctly, but on platforms without
64bit single copy atomicity it could trigger spurious valgrind errors
about uninitialized memory, because we use compare_and_swap for atomic
writes on such platforms.
I previously suppressed one instance of this problem (6c878edc1d),
but as Tom reports that wasn't enough. As the atomic variable cannot
yet be concurrently accessible during initialization, it seems better
to have pg_atomic_init_64_impl set the value directly.
Change pg_atomic_init_u32_impl for symmetry.

highest power of 2 of a given number. We tend to always do that in an
ad-hoc way each time, generally with some tight for loop which performs a
bitshift left once per loop and goes until it finds a number above the
given number.
Here we add two generic functions which make use of the existing
pg_leftmost_one_pos* functions which, when available, will allow us to

As of Windows 10 version 1803, Unix-domain sockets are supported on
Windows. But it's not automatically detected by configure because it
looks for struct sockaddr_un and Windows doesn't define that. So we
just make our own definition on Windows and override the configure
result.
Set DEFAULT_PGSOCKET_DIR to empty on Windows so by default no
Unix-domain socket is used, because there is no good standard
location.
In pg_upgrade, we have to do some extra tweaking to preserve the
existing behavior of not using Unix-domain sockets on Windows. Adding
support would be desirable, but it needs further work, in particular a
way to select whether to use Unix-domain sockets from the command-line
or with a run-time test.
The pg_upgrade test script needs a fix. The previous code passed
"localhost" to postgres -k, which only happened to work because
Windows used to ignore the -k argument value altogether. We instead
need to pass an empty string to get the desired effect.
The test suites will continue to not use Unix-domain sockets on
Windows. This requires a small tweak in pg_regress.c. The TAP tests
don't need to be changed because they decide by the operating system
rather than HAVE_UNIX_SOCKETS.

Our algorithm for choosing batch numbers turned out not to work
effectively for multi-billion key inner relations. We would use
more hash bits than we have, and effectively concentrate all tuples
into a smaller number of batches than we intended. While ideally
we should switch to wider hashes, for now, change the algorithm to
one that effectively gives up bits from the bucket number when we
don't have enough bits. That means we'll finish up with longer
bucket chains than would be ideal, but that's better than having
batches that don't fit in work_mem and can't be divided.

Test for the compiler builtins __builtin_clz, __builtin_ctz, and
__builtin_popcount, and make use of these in preference to
handwritten C code if they're available. Create src/port
infrastructure for "leftmost one", "rightmost one", and "popcount"
so as to centralize these decisions.
On x86_64, __builtin_popcount generally won't make use of the POPCNT
opcode because that's not universally supported yet. Provide code
that checks CPUID and then calls POPCNT via asm() if available.
This requires indirecting through a function pointer, which is
an annoying amount of overhead for a one-instruction operation,
but it's probably not worth working harder than this for our
current use-cases.
I'm not sure we've found all the existing places that could profit
from this new infrastructure; but we at least touched all the
ones that used copied-and-pasted versions of the bitmapset.c code,
and got rid of multiple copies of the associated constant arrays.
While at it, replace c-compiler.m4's one-per-builtin-function
macros with a single one that can handle all the cases we need
to worry about so far. Also, because I'm paranoid, make those
checks into AC_LINK checks rather than just AC_COMPILE; the
former coding failed to verify that libgcc has support for the
builtin, in cases where it's not inline code.

While here, remove from the resultmap all references to
float8-small-is-zero; inspection of cygwin output suggests it's no
longer required there, and the freebsd/netbsd/openbsd entries should
no longer be necessary (these date back to c. 2000). This commit

Split out these new functions in three parts: one in a new file that
uses the compiler builtin and gets compiled with the -mpopcnt compiler
option if it exists; another one that uses the compiler builtin but not
the compiler option; and finally the fallback with open-coded
algorithms.
Split out the configure logic: in the original commit, it was selecting
to use the -mpopcnt compiler switch together with deciding whether to
use the compiler builtin, but those two things are really separate.
Split them out. Also, expose whether the builtin exists to
Makefile.global, so that src/port's Makefile can decide whether to
compile the hw-optimized file.
Remove CPUID test for CTZ/CLZ. Make pg_{right,left}most_ones use either
the compiler intrinsic or open-coded algo; trying to use the

Using strtod() creates a double-rounding problem; the input decimal
value is first rounded to the nearest double; rounding that to the
nearest float may then give an incorrect result.
An example is that 7.038531e-26 when input via strtod and then rounded
to float4 gives 0xAE43FEp-107 instead of the correct 0xAE43FDp-107.
Values output by earlier PG versions with extra_float_digits=3 should
all be read in with the same values as previously. However, values
supplied by other software using shortest representations could be
mis-read.
On platforms that lack a strtof() entirely, we fall back to the old
incorrect rounding behavior. (As strtof() is required by C99, such
platforms are considered of primarily historical interest.) On VS2013,
some workarounds are used to get correct error handling.
The regression tests now test for the correct input values, so
platforms that lack strtof() will need resultmap entries. An entry for
HP-UX 10 is included (more may be needed).

elog.c has long had a private strerror wrapper that handles assorted
possible failures or deficiencies of the platform's strerror. On Windows,
it also knows how to translate Winsock error codes, which the native
strerror does not. Move all this code into src/port/strerror.c and
define strerror() as a macro that invokes it, so that both our frontend
and backend code will have all of this behavior.
I believe this constitutes an actual bug fix on Windows, since AFAICS
our frontend code did not report Winsock error codes properly before this.
However, the main point is to lay the groundwork for implementing %m
in src/port/snprintf.c: the behavior we want %m to have is this one,
not the native strerror's.
Note that this throws away the prior use of src/port/strerror.c,
which was to implement strerror() on platforms lacking it. That's
been dead code for nigh twenty years now, since strerror() was
already required by C89.
We should likewise cause strerror_r to use this behavior, but

The atomics code asserts proper alignment in various places. That's
mainly because the alignment of 64bit integers is not sufficient for
atomic operations on all platforms. Some ABIs only have four byte
alignment, but don't have atomic behavior when crossing page
boundaries.
The flags code isn't affected by that however, as the type alignment
always is sufficient for atomic operations. Nevertheless the code
asserted alignment requirements. Before 8c3debbb it was only broken on
hppa, after it probably affect further platforms.

Backpatch: 9.5-, where the atomics abstraction was introduced.
ARMv8 introduced special CPU instructions for calculating CRC-32C. Use
them, when available, for speed.
Like with the similar Intel CRC instructions, several factors affect
whether the instructions can be used. The compiler intrinsics for them must
be supported by the compiler, and the instructions must be supported by the
target architecture. If the compilation target architecture does not
support the instructions, but adding "-march=armv8-a+crc" makes them
available, then we compile the code with a runtime check to determine if
the host we're running on supports them or not.
For the runtime check, use glibc getauxval() function. Unfortunately,
that's not very portable, but I couldn't find any more portable way to do
it. If getauxval() is not available, the CRC instructions will still be
used if the target architecture supports them without any additional
compiler flags, but the runtime check will not be available.

Experimentation with modern MinGW (specifically the 5.0.2 version packaged

an astonishing number of compiler warnings, and perhaps in incorrect code
--- I'm not sure if the nonzero values supplied by MinGW's header actually
do anything. Hence, adjust win32_port.h to only define these macros if

In the generic atomic ops that rely on a loop around a CAS primitive,
there's no need to force the initial read of the "old" value to be atomic.
In the typically-rare case that we get a torn value, that simply means
that the first CAS attempt will fail; but it will update "old" to the
atomically-read value, so the next attempt has a chance of succeeding.
It was already being done that way in pg_atomic_exchange_u64_impl(),
but let's duplicate the approach in the rest.
(Given the current coding of the pg_atomic_read functions, this change
is a no-op anyway on popular platforms; it only makes a difference where
pg_atomic_read_u64_impl() is implemented as a CAS.)
In passing, also remove unnecessary take-a-pointer-and-dereference-it
coding in the pg_atomic_read functions. That seems to have been based
on a misunderstanding of what the C standard requires. What actually
matters is that the pointer be declared as pointing to volatile, which
it is.
I don't believe this will change the assembly code at all on x86
platforms (even ignoring the likelihood that these implementations
get overridden by others); but it may help on less-mainstream CPUs.

In addition to __sync_fetch_and_add, gcc offers __sync_fetch_and_sub,
__sync_fetch_and_and, and __sync_fetch_and_or, which correspond directly
to primitive atomic ops that we want. Testing shows that in some cases
they generate better code than our generic implementations, so use them.
We've assumed that configure's test for __sync_val_compare_and_swap is
sufficient to allow assuming that __sync_fetch_and_add is available, so
make the same assumption for these functions. Should that prove to be
wrong, we can add more configure tests.

Change pg_bsd_indent to follow upstream rules for placement of comments
to the right of code, and remove pgindent hack that caused comments
following #endif to not obey the general rule.
Commit e3860ffa4d wasn't actually using
the published version of pg_bsd_indent, but a hacked-up version that
tried to minimize the amount of movement of comments to the right of
code. The situation of interest is where such a comment has to be
moved to the right of its default placement at column 33 because there's
code there. BSD indent has always moved right in units of tab stops
in such cases --- but in the previous incarnation, indent was working
in 8-space tab stops, while now it knows we use 4-space tabs. So the
net result is that in about half the cases, such comments are placed
one tab stop left of before. This is better all around: it leaves
more room on the line for comment text, and it means that in such
cases the comment uniformly starts at the next 4-space tab stop after
the code, rather than sometimes one and sometimes two tabs after.
Also, ensure that comments following #endif are indented the same
as comments following other preprocessor commands such as #else.
That inconsistency turns out to have been self-inflicted damage
from a poorly-thought-through post-indent "fixup" in pgindent.
This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent
changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.

with no space separating them from the code.
* Fixes some odd decisions for comments following case labels.
* Fixes some cases where comments following code were indented to less
than the expected column 33.
On the less good side, it now tends to put more whitespace around typedef
names that are not listed in typedefs.list. This might encourage us to
put more effort into typedef name collection; it's not really a bug in
indent itself.
There are more changes coming after this round, having to do with comment
indentation and alignment of lines appearing within parentheses. I wanted
to limit the size of the diffs to something that could be reviewed without
one's eyes completely glazing over, so it seemed better to split up the
changes as much as practical.

This used to mean "Visual C++ except in those parts where Borland C++
was supported where it meant one of those". Now that we don't support
Borland C++ anymore, simplify by using _MSC_VER which is the normal way
to detect Visual C++.
This removes the support for building just libpq using Borland C++ or
Visual C++. This has not worked properly for years, and given the number
of complaints it's clearly not worth the maintenance burden.
Building libpq using the standard MSVC build system is of course still
supported, along with mingw.
When the 64bit atomics simulation is in use, we can't necessarily
guarantee the correct alignment of the atomics due to lack of compiler
support for doing so- that's fine from a safety perspective, because
everything is protected by a lock, but we asserted the alignment in
all cases. Weaken them. Per complaint from Alvaro Herrera.
My #ifdefery for PG_HAVE_8BYTE_SINGLE_COPY_ATOMICITY wasn't
sufficient. Fix that. Per complaint from Alexander Korotkov.
When adding atomics back in b64d92f1a, I added 64bit support as
optional; there wasn't yet a direct user in sight. That turned out to
be a bit short-sighted, it'd already have been useful a number of times.
Add a fallback implementation of 64bit atomics, just like the one we
have for 32bit atomics.
Additionally optimize reads/writes to 64bit on a number of platforms
where aligned writes of that size are atomic. This can now be tested
with PG_HAVE_8BYTE_SINGLE_COPY_ATOMICITY.

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.
We have a portable way of writing uint64 constants, but whoever wrote
this macro didn't know about it.
While at it, fix unsafe under-parenthesization of arguments. That might
be moot, because there are already good reasons not to use the macro on
anything more complicated than a simple variable, but it's still poor
practice.
Per buildfarm warnings.
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.

SCO OpenServer and SCO UnixWare are more or less dead platforms.
We have never had a buildfarm member testing the "sco" port, and
the last "unixware" member was last heard from in 2012, so it's
fair to doubt that the code even compiles anymore on either one.
Remove both ports. We can always undo this if someone shows up
with an interest in maintaining and testing these platforms.

I somehow had assumed that in the spinlock (in turn possibly using
semaphores) based fallback atomics implementation 32 bit writes could be
done without a lock. As far as the write goes that's correct, since
postgres supports only platforms with single-copy atomicity for aligned
32bit writes. But writing without holding the spinlock breaks
read-modify-write operations like pg_atomic_compare_exchange_u32(),
since they'll potentially "miss" a concurrent write, which can't happen
in actual hardware implementations.
In 9.6+ when using the fallback atomics implementation this could lead
to buffer header locks not being properly marked as released, and
potentially some related state corruption. I don't see a related danger
in 9.5 (earliest release with the API), because pg_atomic_write_u32()
wasn't used in a concurrent manner there.
The state variable of local buffers, before this change, were
manipulated using pg_atomic_write_u32(), to avoid unnecessary
synchronization overhead. As that'd not be the case anymore, introduce
and use pg_atomic_unlocked_write_u32(), which does not correctly
interact with RMW operations.
This bug only caused issues when postgres is compiled on platforms
without atomics support (i.e. no common new platform), or when compiled
with --disable-atomics, which explains why this wasn't noticed in
testing.

Backpatch: 9.5-, where the atomic operations API was introduced.
We weren't terribly consistent about whether to call Apple's OS "OS X"
or "Mac OS X", and the former is probably confusing to people who aren't
Apple users. Now that Apple has rebranded it "macOS", follow their lead
to establish a consistent naming pattern. Also, avoid the use of the
ancient project name "Darwin", except as the port code name which does not
seem desirable to change. (In short, this patch touches documentation and
comments, but no actual code.)
I didn't touch contrib/start-scripts/osx/, either. I suspect those are
obsolete and due for a rewrite, anyway.
I dithered about whether to apply this edit to old release notes, but
those were responsible for quite a lot of the inconsistencies, so I ended
up changing them too. Anyway, Apple's being ahistorical about this,
so why shouldn't we be?
Mostly these are just comments but there are a few in documentation
and a handful in code and tests. Hopefully this doesn't cause too much
unnecessary pain for backpatching. I relented from some of the most
common like "thru" for that reason. The rest don't seem numerous
enough to cause problems.

pg_atomic_compare_exchange_*_impl() were providing only the semantics of
an acquire barrier. Buildfarm members hornet and mandrill revealed this
deficit beginning with commit 008608b9d5.
While we have no report of symptoms in 9.5, we can't rule out the
possibility of certain compilers, hardware, or extension code relying on

There's no longer a need for the MSVC-version-specific code stanza that

Although this is just cosmetic, back-patch anyway since I'm intending

I've seen one too many "could not bind IPv4 socket: No error" log entries

pg_ctl is using isatty() to verify whether the process is running in a
terminal, and if not it sends its output to Windows' Event Log ... which
does the wrong thing when the output has been redirected to a pipe, as
reported in bug #13592.
To fix, make pg_ctl use the code we already have to detect service-ness:
in the master branch, move src/backend/port/win32/security.c to src/port
(with suitable tweaks so that it runs properly in backend and frontend
environments); pg_ctl already has access to pgport so it Just Works. In
older branches, that's likely to cause trouble, so instead duplicate the
required code in pg_ctl.c.

This is like BSWAP32, but for 64-bit values. Since we've got two of
them now and they have use cases (like sortsupport) beyond CRCs, move
the definitions to their own header file.

The atomics headers were written under the impression that icc doesn't
handle gcc-style asm blocks, but this is demonstrably false on x86_[64],
because s_lock.h has done it that way for more than a decade. (The jury is
still out on whether this also works on ia64, so I'm leaving ia64-related
code alone for the moment.) Treat gcc and icc the same in these headers.
This is less code and it should improve the results for icc, because we
hadn't gotten around to providing icc-specific implementations for most
of the atomics.
In de6fd1c8 I moved the the work around from 53f73879 into the aix
template. The previous location was removed in the former commit, and I
thought that it would be nice to emit a warning when running configure.
That didn't turn out to work because at the point the template is
included we don't know whether we're compiling a 32/64 bit binary and
it's possible to install compilers for both on a 64 bit kernel/OS.
So go back to a less ambitious approach and define
PG_FORCE_DISABLE_INLINE in port/aix.h, without emitting a warning. We
could try a more fancy approach, but it doesn't seem worth it.
This requires moving the check for PG_FORCE_DISABLE_INLINE in c.h to
after including the system headers included from therein which isn't
perfect, as it seems slightly more robust to include all system headers
in a similar environment. Oh well.

Some frontend code like e.g. pg_xlogdump or pg_resetxlog, has to use
backend headers. Unfortunately until now that code includes most of the
locking code. It's generally not nice to expose such low level details,
but de6fd1c898 made that a hard problem. We fall back to defining
'inline' away if the compiler doesn't support it - that can cause linker
errors like on buildfarm animal pademelon if a inline function
references backend only code.
To fix that problem separate definitions from lock.h that are required
from frontend code into lockdefs.h and use it in the relevant
places. I've only removed the minimal amount of necessary definitions
for now - it might turn out that we want more for other reasons.
To avoid such details being exposed again put some checks against being
included from frontend code into atomics.h, lock.h, lwlock.h and
s_lock.h. It's otherwise fairly easy to indirectly include these
headers.
Discussion: 20150806070902.GE12214@awork2.anarazel.de
So far we have worked around the fact that some very old compilers do
not support 'inline' functions by only using inline functions
conditionally (or not at all). Since such compilers are very rare by
now, we have decided to rely on inline functions from 9.6 onwards.
To avoid breaking these old compilers inline is defined away when not
supported. That'll cause "function x defined but not used" type of
warnings, but since nobody develops on such compilers anymore that's
ok.
This change in policy will allow us to more easily employ inline
functions.
I chose to remove code previously conditional on PG_USE_INLINE as it
seemed confusing to have code dependent on a define that's always
defined.
Blacklisting of compilers, like in c53f73879f, now has to be done
differently. A platform template can define PG_FORCE_DISABLE_INLINE to
force inline to be defined empty.

typos I found while fixing.
Noticed-By: Amit Kapila
Backpatch: 9.5
Use "a" and "an" correctly, mostly in comments. Two error messages were
also fixed (they were just elogs, so no translation work required). Two
function comments in pg_proc.h were also fixed. Etsuro Fujita reported one
of these, but I found a lot more with grep.
Also fix a few other typos spotted while grepping for the a/an typos.
For example, "consists out of ..." -> "consists of ...". Plus a "though"/
"through" mixup reported by Euler Taveira.
Many of these typos were in old code, which would be nice to backpatch to
make future backpatching easier. But much of the code was new, and I didn't
feel like crafting separate patches for each branch. So no backpatching.
Modern x86 and x86-64 processors with SSE 4.2 support have special
instructions, crc32b and crc32q, for calculating CRC-32C. They greatly
speed up CRC calculation.
Whether the instructions can be used or not depends on the compiler and the
target architecture. If generation of SSE 4.2 instructions is allowed for
the target (-msse4.2 flag on gcc and clang), use them. If they are not
allowed by default, but the compiler supports the -msse4.2 flag to enable
them, compile just the CRC-32C function with -msse4.2 flag, and check at
runtime whether the processor we're running on supports it. If it doesn't,
fall back to the slicing-by-8 algorithm. (With the common defaults on
current operating systems, the runtime-check variant is what you get in
practice.)
Abhijit Menon-Sen, heavily modified by me, reviewed by Andres Freund.
Now that we use CRC-32C in WAL and the control file, the "traditional" and
"legacy" CRC-32 variants are not used in any frontend programs anymore.
Move the code for those back from src/common to src/backend/utils/hash.
Also move the slicing-by-8 implementation (back) to src/port. This is in
preparation for next patch that will add another implementation that uses
Intel SSE 4.2 instructions to calculate CRC-32C, where available.
In 83ff1618 we defined integer limits iff they're not provided by the
system. That turns out not to be the greatest idea because there's
different ways some datatypes can be represented. E.g. on OSX PG's 64bit
datatype will be a 'long int', but OSX unconditionally uses 'long
long'. That disparity then can lead to warnings, e.g. around printf
formats.
One way to fix that would be to back int64 using stdint.h's
int64_t. While a good idea it's not that easy to implement. We would
e.g. need to include stdint.h in our external headers, which we don't
today. Also computing the correct int64 printf formats in that case is
nontrivial.
Instead simply prefix the integer limits with PG_ and define them
unconditionally. I've adjusted all the references to them in code, but
not the ones in comments; the latter seems unnecessary to me.
Discussion: 20150331141423.GK4878@alap3.anarazel.de
Several submitted and even committed patches have run into the problem
that C89, our baseline, does not provide minimum/maximum values for
various integer datatypes. C99's stdint.h does, but we can't rely on
it.
Several parts of the code defined limits locally, so instead centralize
the definitions to c.h.
This patch also changes the more obvious usages of literal limit values;
there's more places that could be changed, but it's less clear whether
it's beneficial to change those.

Until now __attribute__() was defined to be empty for all compilers but
gcc. That's problematic because it prevents using it in other compilers;
which is necessary e.g. for atomics portability. It's also just
generally dubious to do so in a header as widely included as c.h.
Instead add pg_attribute_format_arg, pg_attribute_printf,
pg_attribute_noreturn macros which are implemented in the compilers that
understand them. Also add pg_attribute_noreturn and pg_attribute_packed,
but don't provide fallbacks, since they can affect functionality.
This means that external code that, possibly unwittingly, relied on
__attribute__ defined to be empty on !gcc compilers may now run into
warnings or errors on those compilers. But there shouldn't be many
occurances of that and it's hard to work around...

Author: Oskari Saarenmaa, with some minor changes by me.
If the compiler/arch combination does not provide compiler barriers,
provide a fallback. That fallback simply consists out of a function
call into a externally defined function. That should guarantee
compiler barrierer semantics except for compilers that do inter
translation unit/global optimization - those better provide an actual
compiler barrier.
Hopefully this fixes Tom's report of linker failures due to
pg_compiler_barrier_impl not being provided.
I'm not backpatching this commit as it builds on the new atomics
infrastructure. If we decide an equivalent fix needs to be
backpatched, I'll do so in a separate commit.
