Recent versions of the Linux system header files cause xlogdefs.h to
believe that open_datasync should be the default sync method, whereas
formerly fdatasync was the default on Linux. open_datasync is a bad
choice, first because it doesn't actually outperform fdatasync (in fact
the reverse), and second because we try to use O_DIRECT with it, causing
failures on certain filesystems (e.g., ext4 with data=journal option).
This part of the patch is largely per a proposal from Marti Raudsepp.
More extensive changes are likely to follow in HEAD, but this is as much
change as we want to back-patch.
Also clean up confusing code and incorrect documentation surrounding the
fsync_writethrough option. Those changes shouldn't result in any actual
behavioral change, but I chose to back-patch them anyway to keep the
branches looking similar in this area.
In 9.0 and HEAD, also do some copy-editing on the WAL Reliability
documentation section.
Back-patch to all supported branches, since any of them might get used
on modern Linux versions.

an unreferenced "static inline foo ..." function without warnings. It is
believed that such warnings are the only reason not to declare inlined

Hopefully this solves the long-time issue with "could not reattach

Also, if linked against other versions than the default MSVCRT library
(for example the MSVC build which links against MSVCRT80), also update
the cache in the default MSVCRT at the same time.
This should fix the issues with setting LC_MESSAGES on the MSVC build.

data structures and backend internal APIs. This solves problems we've seen
recently with inconsistent layout of pg_control between machines that have
32-bit time_t and those that have already migrated to 64-bit time_t. Also,
we can get out from under the problem that Windows' Unix-API emulation is not
consistent about the width of time_t.
There are a few remaining places where local time_t variables are used to hold
the current or recent result of time(NULL). I didn't bother changing these
since they do not affect any cross-module APIs and surely all platforms will
have 64-bit time_t before overflow becomes an actual risk. time_t should
be avoided for anything visible to extension modules, however.
childprocess deaths instead of using one thread per child. This drastastically
reduces the address space usage and should allow for more backends running.
Also change the win32_waitpid functionality to use an IO Completion Port for
queueing child death notices instead of using a fixed-size array.
This is a Linux kernel bug that apparently exists in every extant kernel
version: sometimes shmctl() will fail with EIDRM when EINVAL is correct.
We were assuming that EIDRM indicates a possible conflict with pre-existing
backends, and refusing to start the postmaster when this happens. Fortunately,
there does not seem to be any case where Linux can legitimately return EIDRM
(it doesn't track shmem segments in a way that would allow that), so we can
get away with just assuming that EIDRM means EINVAL on this platform.
Per reports from Michael Fuhr and Jon Lapham --- it's a bit surprising

pg_usleep at all. Instead call the replacement function in
port/win32/signal.c by that name. Avoids tricky macro-redefinition
logic and suppresses a compiler warning; furthermore it ensures that
no one can accidentally use the non-signal-aware version of pg_usleep
in a Windows backend.
I think this explains the 'implicit declaration of function gai_strerror'
warnings visible in the current buildfarm report from snake: if
sys/socket.h is included again after getaddrinfo.h, the file would
merrily undefine the gai_strerror macro.

Also, change Win32 fsync to a new wal sync method called

what is used for fsync on Win32.

* Links with -leay32 and -lssleay32 instead of crypto and ssl. On win32,
"crypto and ssl" is only used for static linking.
* Initializes SSL in the backend and not just in the postmaster. We
cannot pass the SSL context from the postmaster through the parameter
file, because it contains function pointers.
* Split one error check in be-secure.c. Previously we could not tell
which of three calls actually failed. The previous code also returned
incorrect error messages if SSL_accept() failed - that function needs to
use SSL_get_error() on the return value, can't just use the error queue.
* Since the win32 implementation uses non-blocking sockets "behind the
scenes" in order to deliver signals correctly, implements a version of
SSL_accept() that can handle this. Also, add a wait function in case
SSL_read or SSL_write() needs more data.

conversion of basic ASCII letters. Remove all uses of strcasecmp and
strncasecmp in favor of new functions pg_strcasecmp and pg_strncasecmp;
remove most but not all direct uses of toupper and tolower in favor of
pg_toupper and pg_tolower. These functions use the same notions of
case folding already developed for identifier case conversion. I left
the straight locale-based folding in place for situations where we are
just manipulating user data and not trying to match it to built-in
strings --- for example, the SQL upper() function is still locale
dependent. Perhaps this will prove not to be what's wanted, but at
the moment we can initdb and pass regression tests in Turkish locale.

32-bit long [Note to patcher: If a SLEEP_ON_ASSERT of 2000 seconds is
acceptable, please replace with pg_usleep(2000000000L)]
I added a comment to that part of the code:
/*

It works on the principle of turning sockets into non-blocking, and then
emulate blocking behaviour on top of that, while allowing signals to
run. Signals are now implemented using an event instead of APCs, thus
getting rid of the issue of APCs not being compatible with "old style"
sockets functions.
It also moves the win32 specific code away from pqsignal.h/c into
port/win32, and also removes the "thread style workaround" of the APC
issue previously in place.
In order to make things work, a few things are also changed in pgstat.c:
1) There is now a separate pipe to the collector and the bufferer. This
is required because the pipe will otherwise only be signalled in one of
the processes when the postmaster goes down. The MS winsock code for
select() must have some kind of workaround for this behaviour, but I
have found no stable way of doing that. You really are not supposed to
use the same socket from more than one process (unless you use
WSADuplicateSocket(), in which case the docs specifically say that only
one will be flagged).
2) The check for "postmaster death" is moved into a separate select()
call after the main loop. The previous behaviour select():ed on the
postmaster pipe, while later explicitly saying "we do NOT check for
postmaster exit inside the loop".
The issue was that the code relies on the same select() call seeing both
the postmaster pipe *and* the pgstat pipe go away. This does not always
happen, and it appears that useing WSAEventSelect() makes it even more
common that it does not.
Since it's only called when the process exits, I don't think using a
separate select() call will have any significant impact on how the stats
collector works.

The file timer.c goes into src/backend/port/win32/.

Natoli and Bruce Momjian (and some cosmetic fixes from Neil Conway).
Changes:
- remove duplicate signal definitions from pqsignal.h
- replace pqkill() with kill() and redefine kill() in Win32
- use ereport() in place of fprintf() in some error handling in
pqsignal.c
- export pg_queue_signal() and make use of it where necessary
- add a console control handler for Ctrl-C and similar handling
on Win32
- do WaitForSingleObjectEx() in CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() on Win32;
