Robert Haas 6df1543abf Refactor some end-of-recovery code out of StartupXLOG().
Create a new function PerformRecoveryXLogAction() and move the
code which either writes an end-of-recovery record or requests a
checkpoint there.

Also create a new function CleanupAfterArchiveRecovery() to
perform a few tasks that we want to do after we've actually exited
archive recovery but before we start accepting new WAL writes.

More refactoring of this file is planned, but this commit is
just straightforward code movement to make StartupXLOG() a
little bit shorter and a little bit easier to understand.

Michael Paquier fa66b6dee0 Fix tests of pg_upgrade across different major versions
This fixes a set of issues that cause different breakages or annoyances
when using pg_upgrade's test.sh to do upgrades across different major
versions:
- test.sh is completely broken when using v14 as new version because of
the removal of testtablespace/ as Makefile rule.  Older versions of
pg_regress don't support --make-tablespacedir, blocking the creation of
the tablespace.  In order to fix that, it is simple enough to create
those directories in the script itself, but only do that when an old
version is involved.  This fix is needed on HEAD and REL_14_STABLE.
- The script would fail when using PG <= v11 as old version because of
WITH OIDS relations not supported in v12.  In order to fix this, this
steals a method from the buildfarm that uses a DO block to change all
the relations marked as WITH OIDS, allowing pg_upgrade to pass.  This is
more portable than using ALTER TABLE queries on the relations causing
issues.  This is fixed down to v12, and authored originally by Andrew
Dunstan.
- Not using --extra-float-digits=0 with v11 as old version causes
a lot of diffs in the dumps, making the whole unreadable.  This gets
only done when using v11 as old version.  This is fixed down to v12.
The buildfarm code uses that already.

Note that the addition of --wal-segsize and --allow-group-access breaks
the script when using v10 or older at initdb time as these got added in
11.  10 would be EOL'd next year and nobody has complained about those
problems yet, so nothing is done about that.  This means that this
commit fixes upgrade tests using test.sh with v11 as minimum older
version, up to HEAD, and that it is enough to apply this change down to
12.  The old and new dumps still generate diffs, still require manual
checks, and more could be done to reduce the noise, but this allows the
tests to run with a rather minimal amount of them.

I have tested this commit and test.sh with v11 as minimum across all the
branches where this is applied.  Note that this commit has no impact on
the normal pg_upgrade test run with a simple "make check".

Peter Eisentraut 390edeeb57 psql: Fix some scan-build warnings
A repeated complaint was that scan-build thought that if the \timing

now, but it's not entirely inconceivable given the code structure.  So
silence this warning with small restructuring that makes this more

Sometimes, we replace a symbolic link that we find in the data

Michael Paquier f9c4cb6868 Add more $Test::Builder::Level in the TAP tests
Incrementing the level of the call stack reported is useful for
debugging purposes as it allows to control which part of the test is
exactly failing, especially if a test is structured with subroutines
that call routines from Test::More.

This adds more incrementations of $Test::Builder::Level where debugging
gets improved (for example it does not make sense for some paths like
pg_rewind where long subroutines are used).

A note is added to src/test/perl/README about that, based on a
suggestion from Andrew Dunstan and a wording coming from both of us.

Usage of Test::Builder::Level has spread in 12, so a backpatch down to
this version is done.

Peter Geoghegan 292698f158 amcheck: Skip unlogged relations in Hot Standby.
Have verify_heapam.c treat unlogged relations as if they were simply
empty when in Hot Standby mode.  This brings it in line with
verify_nbtree.c, which has handled unlogged relations in the same way
since bugfix commit 6754fe65a4.  This was an oversight in commit
866e24d47d, which extended contrib/amcheck to check heap relations.

In passing, lower the verbosity used when reporting that a relation has
been skipped like this, from NOTICE to DEBUG1.  This is appropriate
because the skipping behavior is only an implementation detail, needed
to work around the fact that unlogged tables don't have smgr-level
storage for their main fork when in Hot Standby mode.

Affected unlogged relations should be considered "trivially verified",
not skipped over.  They are verified in the same sense that a totally
empty relation can be verified.  This behavior seems least surprising
overall, since unlogged relations on a replica will initially be empty
if and when the replica is promoted and Hot Standby ends.

Tom Lane 39ae0ef856 Fix EXPLAIN of SEARCH BREADTH FIRST queries some more.
Commit 3f50b8263 had an oversight: formerly, to deparse expressions
attached to a plan node, it was only necessary to update the
deparse_namespace ancestors list alongside calling set_deparse_plan.
Now it's necessary to update the ancestors list *first*, because
set_deparse_plan consults it, and one call site got that wrong.

This error was masked in most cases because explain.c uses just one
List object for the ancestors list, updating it in-place as the plan
is scanned, so that we accidentally had the right List assigned to
dpns->ancestors before it was needed.  It would fail only if a
WorkTableScan node were the first one that we tried to deparse a
subexpression of.

Michael Paquier 8b76f89c37 Refactor fallback to stderr for csvlog to handle better WIN32 service case
send_message_to_server_log() would force a redirection of a log entry to
stderr in some cases for csvlog, like the syslogger not being available
yet.  If this happens, csvlog would fall back to stderr to log
some information rather than nothing.  The code was organized so as
stderr is done before csvlog, with csvlog checking that stderr did not
happen yet with a reversed condition.  With this code organization, it
could be possible to lose some messages if running Postgres as a service
on WIN32, as there is no usable stderr, and the handling of the
StringInfoData holding the message for stderr was rather confusing
because of that.

This commit moves the csvlog handling to be before stderr, as as we are
able to track down if it is necessary to log something to stderr.  The
reduces the handling of stderr to be in a single code path, adding a
fallback to event logs for a WIN32 service.  This also simplifies the
way we handle the StringInfoData for stderr, making easier the
integration of new file-based log destinations.  I got to play with
services and event logs on Windows while checking this change.

Michael Paquier 5c6e33f071 Refactor per-destination file rotation in logging collector
stderr and csvlog have been using duplicated code when it came to the
rotation of their file by size, age or if forced by a user request
(pg_ctl logrotate or the SQL function pg_rotate_logfile).  The main
difference between both is that stderr requires its file to always be
opened, so as it is possible to have a redirection route if the logging
collector is not ready yet to do its work if alternate destinations are
enabled.

Also, if csvlog gets disabled, we need to close properly its meta-data
stored in the logging collector (last file name for current_logfiles and
fd currently open for business).  Except for those points, the code is
the same in terms of error handling and if a file should be created or
just continued.

This change makes the code simpler overall, and it will help in the
introduction of more file-based log destinations.  This refactoring is
similar to the work done in 5b0b699.  Most of the duplication originates
from fd801f4.

Some of the TAP tests of pg_ctl check the case of a forced log rotation,
but this is somewhat limited as there is no coverage for
log_rotation_age or log_rotation_size (these may not be worth the extra
resources to run either), and no coverage for reload of log_destination
with different combinations of stderr and csvlog.  I have tested all
those cases separately for this refactoring.

Dean Rasheed e54a758d24 Fix corner-case loss of precision in numeric_power().
This fixes a loss of precision that occurs when the first input is
very close to 1, so that its logarithm is very small.

Formerly, during the initial low-precision calculation to estimate the
result weight, the logarithm was computed to a local rscale that was
capped to NUMERIC_MAX_DISPLAY_SCALE (1000). However, the base may be
as close as 1e-16383 to 1, hence its logarithm may be as small as
1e-16383, and so the local rscale needs to be allowed to exceed 16383,
otherwise all precision is lost, leading to a poor choice of rscale
for the full-precision calculation.

Fix this by removing the cap on the local rscale during the initial
low-precision calculation, as we already do in the full-precision
calculation. This doesn't change the fact that the initial calculation
is a low-precision approximation, computing the logarithm to around 8
significant digits, which is very fast, especially when the base is
very close to 1.

Robert Haas 0ba281cb4b Flexible options for BASE_BACKUP.
Previously, BASE_BACKUP used an entirely hard-coded syntax, but that's
hard to extend. Instead, adopt the same kind of syntax we've used for
SQL commands such as VACUUM, ANALYZE, COPY, and EXPLAIN, where it's
not necessary for all of the option names to be parser keywords.

In the new syntax, most of the options now take an optional Boolean
argument. To match our practice in other in places, the options which
the old syntax called NOWAIT and NOVERIFY_CHECKSUMS options are in the
new syntax called WAIT and VERIFY_CHECKUMS, and the default value is
false. In the new syntax, the FAST option has been replaced by a
CHECKSUM option whose value may be 'fast' or 'spread'.

This commit does not remove support for the old syntax. It just adds
the new one as an additional option, and makes pg_basebackup prefer
the new syntax when the server is new enough to support it.

Fujii Masao 68601985e6 Make recovery report error message when invalid page header is found.
Commit 0668719801 changed XLogPageRead() so that it validated the page
header, if invalid page header was found reset the error message and
retried reading the page, to fix the scenario where streaming standby
got stuck at a continuation record. This change hid the error message
about invalid page header, which would make it harder for users to
investigate what the actual issue was found in WAL.

To fix the issue, this commit makes XLogPageRead() report the error
message when invalid page header is found.

When not in standby mode, an invalid page header should cause recovery
to end, not retry reading the page, so XLogPageRead() doesn't need to
validate the page header for the retry. Instead, ReadPageInternal() should
be responsible for the validation in that case. Therefore this commit
changes XLogPageRead() so that if not in standby mode it doesn't validate
the page header for the retry.

Tom Lane f3fec23dbd Doc: improve description of UNION/INTERSECT/EXCEPT syntax.
queries.sgml failed to mention the rather important point that
INTERSECT binds more tightly than UNION or EXCEPT.  I thought
it could also use more discussion of the role of parentheses
in these constructs.

Per gripe from Christopher Painter-Wakefield.

Fujii Masao f6b5d05ba9 doc: Document pg_encoding_to_char() and pg_char_to_encoding().
Previously both functions were not described anywhere in the docs.
But since they have been around since 7.0 and mentioned in the description
for system catalog like pg_database, it's reasonable to add short
descriptions for them.

Andres Freund 2f74db1236 Fix TestLib::slurp_file() with offset on windows.
3c5b0685b9 used setFilePointer() to set the position of the filehandle, but
passed the wrong filehandle, always leaving the position at 0. Instead of just
fixing that, remove use of setFilePointer(), we have a perl fd at this point,
so we can just use perl's seek().

Additionally, the perl filehandle wasn't closed, just the windows filehandle.

Andres Freund 8162464a25 windows: Define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN to make compilation faster.
windows.h includes a lot of other headers, slowing down compilation
significantly. WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN reduces that a bit. It'd be better to
remove the include of windows.h (as well as indirect inclusions of it) from such
a central place, but until then...

Daniel Gustafsson de744e9efb Fix check for trapping exit() calls in libpq
Commit e9bc0441f added an errorhint on the exit() check for libpq, but
accidentally changed the nm commandline to use -a instead of -A. These
options are similar enough to hide it in testing, but -a can also show
debugger symbols which isn't what we want. Fix by reverting the check
back to using -A again.

Tom Lane c1aa3b3c0d Update our mapping of Windows time zone names some more.
Per discussion, let's just follow CLDR's default zone mappings
faithfully.  There are two changes here that are clear improvements:

* Mapping "Greenwich Standard Time" to Atlantic/Reykjavik is actually
a better fit than using London, because Iceland hasn't observed DST
since 1968, so this is more nearly what people might expect.

* Since the "Samoa" zone is specified to be UTC+13:00, we must map
it to Pacific/Apia not Pacific/Samoa; the latter refers to American
Samoa which is now on the other side of the date line.

The rest of these changes look like they're choosing the most populous
IANA zone as representative.  Whatever the details, we're just going
to say "if you don't like this mapping, complain to CLDR".

Tom Lane 36d1a848a8 Doc: fix minor issues in GiST support function documentation.
gist.sgml and xindex.sgml hadn't been fully updated for the
addition of a sortsupport support function (commit 16fa9b2b3).
xindex.sgml also missed that the compress and decompress support
functions are optional, an apparently far older oversight.

In passing, fix gratuitous inconsistencies in wording and
capitalization.

Noted by E. Rogov.  Back-patch to v14; the residual issues
before that aren't significant enough to bother with.

Daniel Gustafsson e9bc0441f1 Provide error hint on exit() check when building libpq
Commit dc227eb82 introduced a restriction on libpq that no functions which
invoke exit() are allowed to be called. This was further refined and fixed
in e45b0dfa1f and 2f7bae2f92 and 792259591. While this is well documented
in the Makefile, the error message emitted when the check failed was terse,
without hints for new developers without prior context. This adds an error
hint to assist new developers onboarding to postgres.
