Rework of the code and comments by Simon Riggs
There was some confusion on how to record the case that the operation
unlinks the last non-leaf page in the branch being deleted.
_bt_unlink_halfdead_page set the "topdead" field in the WAL record to
the leaf page, but the redo routine assumed that it would be an invalid
block number in that case. This commit fixes _bt_unlink_halfdead_page to
do what the redo routine expected.
This code is new in 9.4, so backpatch there.
Unlogged relations are reset at the end of crash recovery as they're
only synced to disk during a proper shutdown. Unfortunately that and
later steps can fail, e.g. due to running out of space. This reset
was, up to now performed after marking the database as having finished
crash recovery successfully. As out of space errors trigger a crash
restart that could lead to the situation that not all unlogged
relations are reset.
Once that happend usage of unlogged relations could yield errors like
"could not open file "...": No such file or directory". Luckily
clusters that show the problem can be fixed by performing a immediate
shutdown, and starting the database again.
To fix, just call ResetUnloggedRelations(UNLOGGED_RELATION_INIT)
earlier, before marking the database as having successfully recovered.

Backpatch to 9.1 where unlogged tables were introduced.

The initial patch for RLS mistakenly included headers associated with
the executor and planner bits in rewrite/rowsecurity.h. Per policy and
general good sense, executor headers should not be included in planner
headers or vice versa.
The include of execnodes.h was a mistaken holdover from previous
versions, while the include of relation.h was used for Relation's
definition, which should have been coming from utils/relcache.h. This
patch cleans these issues up, adds comments to the RowSecurityPolicy
struct and the RowSecurityConfigType enum, and changes Relation->rsdesc
to Relation->rd_rsdesc to follow Relation field naming convention.
Additionally, utils/rel.h was including rewrite/rowsecurity.h, which
wasn't a great idea since that was pulling in things not really needed
in utils/rel.h (which gets included in quite a few places). Instead,
use 'struct RowSecurityDesc' for the rd_rsdesc field and add comments
explaining why.
Lastly, add an include into access/nbtree/nbtsort.c for
utils/sortsupport.h, which was evidently missed due to the above mess.
Pointed out by Tom in 16970.1415838651@sss.pgh.pa.us; note that the
concerns regarding a similar situation in the custom-path commit still
need to be addressed.
This function has a loop which can lead to uninterruptible process
"stalls" (actually infinite loops) when some bugs are triggered. Avoid
that unpleasant situation by adding a check for interrupts in a place
that shouldn't degrade performance in the normal case.
Backpatch to 9.3. Older branches have an identical loop here, but the
aforementioned bugs are only a problem starting in 9.3 so there doesn't
seem to be any point in backpatching any further.
There was a window in RestoreBackupBlock where a page would be zeroed out,
but not yet locked. If a backend pinned and locked the page in that window,
it saw the zeroed page instead of the old page or new page contents, which
could lead to missing rows in a result set, or errors.
To fix, replace RBM_ZERO with RBM_ZERO_AND_LOCK, which atomically pins,
zeroes, and locks the page, if it's not in the buffer cache already.
In stable branches, the old RBM_ZERO constant is renamed to RBM_DO_NOT_USE,
to avoid breaking any 3rd party extensions that might use RBM_ZERO. More
importantly, this avoids renumbering the other enum values, which would
cause even bigger confusion in extensions that use ReadBufferExtended, but
haven't been recompiled.
Backpatch to all supported versions; this has been racy since hot standby
was introduced.
Previously the maximum size of GIN pending list was controlled only by
work_mem. But the reasonable value of work_mem and the reasonable size
of the list are basically not the same, so it was not appropriate to
control both of them by only one GUC, i.e., work_mem. This commit
separates new GUC, pending_list_cleanup_size, from work_mem to allow
users to control only the size of the list.
Also this commit adds pending_list_cleanup_size as new storage parameter
to allow users to specify the size of the list per index. This is useful,
for example, when users want to increase the size of the list only for
the GIN index which can be updated heavily, and decrease it otherwise.

The code that generates the BRIN_XLOG_UPDATE removes the buffer
reference when the page that's target for the updated tuple is freshly
initialized. This is a pretty usual optimization, but was breaking the
case where the revmap buffer, which is referenced in the same WAL
record, is getting a backup block: the replay code was using backup
block index 1, which is not valid when the update target buffer gets
pruned; the revmap buffer gets assigned 0 instead. Make sure to use the
correct backup block index for revmap when replaying.
Bug reported by Fujii Masao.
Besides a couple of typo fixes, per David Rowley, Thom Brown, and Amit
Langote, and mentions of BRIN in the general CREATE INDEX page again per
David, this includes silencing MSVC compiler warnings (thanks Microsoft)
and an additional variable initialization per Coverity scanner.
Reported by David Rowley: variadic macros are a problem. Get rid of
them using a trick suggested by Tom Lane: add extra parentheses where
needed. In the future we might decide we don't need the calls at all
and remove them, but it seems appropriate to keep them while this code
is still new.
Also from David Rowley: brininsert() was trying to use a variable before
initializing it. Fix by moving the brin_form_tuple call (which
initializes the variable) to within the locked section.
Reported by Peter Eisentraut: can't use "new" as a struct member name,
because C++ compilers will choke on it, as reported by cpluspluscheck.
Now that the backup blocks are appended to the WAL record in xloginsert.c,
XLogInsert doesn't see them anymore and cannot remove them from the version
reconstructed for xlog_outdesc. This makes running with wal_debug=on more
expensive, as we now make (unnecessary) temporary copies of the backup
blocks, but it doesn't seem worth convoluting the code to keep that
optimization.
Reported by Alvaro Herrera.
BRIN is a new index access method intended to accelerate scans of very
large tables, without the maintenance overhead of btrees or other
traditional indexes. They work by maintaining "summary" data about
block ranges. Bitmap index scans work by reading each summary tuple and
comparing them with the query quals; all pages in the range are returned
in a lossy TID bitmap if the quals are consistent with the values in the
summary tuple, otherwise not. Normal index scans are not supported
because these indexes do not store TIDs.
As new tuples are added into the index, the summary information is
updated (if the block range in which the tuple is added is already
summarized) or not; in the latter case, a subsequent pass of VACUUM or
the brin_summarize_new_values() function will create the summary
information.
For data types with natural 1-D sort orders, the summary info consists
of the maximum and the minimum values of each indexed column within each
page range. This type of operator class we call "Minmax", and we
supply a bunch of them for most data types with B-tree opclasses.
Since the BRIN code is generalized, other approaches are possible for
things such as arrays, geometric types, ranges, etc; even for things
such as enum types we could do something different than minmax with
better results. In this commit I only include minmax.
Catalog version bumped due to new builtin catalog entries.
There's more that could be done here, but this is a good step forwards.

The code that generated a record to clear the F_TUPLES_DELETED flag hasn't
existed since we got rid of old-style VACUUM FULL. I kept the code that sets
the flag, although it's not used for anything anymore, because it might
still be interesting information for debugging purposes that some tuples
have been deleted from a page.
Likewise, the code to turn the root page from non-leaf to leaf page was
removed when we got rid of old-style VACUUM FULL. Remove the code to replay
that action, too.
Previously .ready file was created for the timeline history file at the end
of an archive recovery even when WAL archiving was not enabled.
This creation is unnecessary and causes .ready file to remain infinitely.
This commit changes an archive recovery so that it creates .ready file for
the timeline history file only when WAL archiving is enabled.
Backpatch to all supported versions.
xlog.c is huge, this makes it a little bit smaller, which is nice. Functions
related to putting together the WAL record are in xloginsert.c, and the
lower level stuff for managing WAL buffers and such are in xlog.c.
Also move the definition of XLogRecord to a separate header file. This
causes churn in the #includes of all the files that write WAL records, and
redo routines, but it avoids pulling in xlog.h into most places.

The old algorithm was found to not be the usual CRC-32 algorithm, used by
Ethernet et al. We were using a non-reflected lookup table with code meant
for a reflected lookup table. That's a strange combination that AFAICS does
not correspond to any bit-wise CRC calculation, which makes it difficult to
reason about its properties. Although it has worked well in practice, seems
safer to use a well-known algorithm.
Since we're changing the algorithm anyway, we might as well choose a
different polynomial. The Castagnoli polynomial has better error-correcting
properties than the traditional CRC-32 polynomial, even if we had
implemented it correctly. Another reason for picking that is that some new
CPUs have hardware support for calculating CRC-32C, but not CRC-32, let
alone our strange variant of it. This patch doesn't add any support for such
hardware, but a future patch could now do that.
The old algorithm is kept around for tsquery and pg_trgm, which use the
values in indexes that need to remain compatible so that pg_upgrade works.
While we're at it, share the old lookup table for CRC-32 calculation
between hstore, ltree and core. They all use the same table, so might as
well.
Instead of initializing a new TransInvalidationInfo for every
transaction or subtransaction, we can just do it for those
transactions or subtransactions that actually need to queue
invalidation messages. That also avoids needing to free those
entries at the end of a transaction or subtransaction that does
not generate any invalidation messages, which is by far the
common case.
Patch by me. Review by Simon Riggs and Andres Freund.
Previously the archive recovery always created .ready file for
the last WAL file of the old timeline at the end of recovery even when
it's restored from the archive and has .done file. That is, there was
the case where the WAL file had both .ready and .done files.
This caused the already-archived WAL file to be archived again.
This commit prevents the archive recovery from creating .ready file
for the last WAL file if it has .done file, in order to prevent it from
being archived again.

The duplication originated in cdd46c765, where restartpoints were
introduced.
In LogCheckpointStart's case the duplication actually lead to the
compiler's format string checking not to be effective because the
format string wasn't constant.
Arguably these messages shouldn't be elog(), but ereport() style
messages. That'd even allow to translate the messages... But as
there's more mistakes of that kind in surrounding code, it seems
better to change that separately.
Commit 7dbb606938 added a new CHECKPOINT_FLUSH_ALL flag. As that
commit needed to be backpatched I didn't change the numeric values of
the existing flags as that could lead to nastly problems if any
external code issued checkpoints. That's not a concern on master, so
renumber them there.
Also add a comment about CHECKPOINT_FLUSH_ALL above
CreateCheckPoint().
CREATE DATABASE and ALTER DATABASE .. SET TABLESPACE copy the source
database directory on the filesystem level. To ensure the on disk
state is consistent they block out users of the affected database and
force a checkpoint to flush out all data to disk. Unfortunately, up to
now, that checkpoint didn't flush out dirty buffers from unlogged
relations.
That bug means there could be leftover dirty buffers in either the
template database, or the database in its old location. Leading to
problems when accessing relations in an inconsistent state; and to
possible problems during shutdown in the SET TABLESPACE case because
buffers belonging files that don't exist anymore are flushed.

This clause changes the behavior of SELECT locking clauses in the

I left the GUC in place for the beta period, so that people could experiment

Per complaint of Christoph Berg in the above email, although he's not
the original bug reporter.
Backpatch to 9.4 where the define was introduced.
For the reason outlined in df4077cda2 also remove volatile qualifiers
from xlog.c. Some of these uses of volatile have been added after
noticing problems back when spinlocks didn't imply compiler
barriers. So they are a good test - in fact removing the volatiles
breaks when done without the barriers in spinlocks present.
Several uses of volatile remain where they are explicitly used to
access shared memory without locks. These locations are ok with
slightly out of date data, but removing the volatile might lead to the
variables never being reread from memory. These uses could also be
replaced by barriers, but that's a separate change of doubtful value.
There are four weaknesses in728f152e07f998d2cb4fe5f24ec8da2c3bda98f2:
* append_init() in heapdesc.c was ugly and required that rm_identify
return values are only valid till the next call. Instead just add a
couple more switch() cases for the INIT_PAGE cases. Now the returned
value will always be valid.
* a couple rm_identify() callbacks missed masking xl_info with
~XLR_INFO_MASK.
* pg_xlogdump didn't map a NULL rm_identify to UNKNOWN or a similar
string.
* append_init() was called when id=NULL - which should never actually
happen. But it's better to be careful.
This is primarily useful for the upcoming pg_xlogdump --stats feature,
but also allows to remove some duplicated code in the rmgr_desc
routines.
Due to the separation and harmonization, the output of dipsplayed
records changes somewhat. But since this isn't enduser oriented
content that's ok.
It's potentially desirable to further change pg_xlogdump's display of
records. It previously wasn't possible to show the record type
separately from the description forcing it to be in the last
column. But that's better done in a separate commit.

The code that tried to split a page at 75/25 ratio, when appending to the
end of an index, was buggy in two ways. First, there was a silly typo that
caused it to just fill the left page as full as possible. But the logic as
it was intended wasn't correct either, and would actually have given a ratio
closer to 60/40 than 75/25.
Gaetano Mendola spotted the typo. Backpatch to 9.4, where this code was added.
Every redo routine uses the same idiom to determine what to do to a page:
check if there's a backup block for it, and if not read, the buffer if the
block exists, and check its LSN. Refactor that into a common function,
XLogReadBufferForRedo, making all the redo routines shorter and more
readable.
This has no user-visible effect, and makes no changes to the WAL format.

strncmp() is a specialized API unsuited for routine copying into

long, and calling pg_archivecleanup with untrusted input is still not a
credible use case. Therefore, no back-patch.
