Also "make reformat-dat-files".
The only change worthy of note is that pgindent messed up the formatting
of launcher.c's struct LogicalRepWorkerId, which led me to notice that
that struct wasn't used at all anymore, so I just took it out.
Instead, put them in via a format placeholder. This reduces the
number of distinct translatable messages and also reduces the chances
of typos during translation. We already did this for the system call
arguments in a number of cases, so this is just the same thing taken a
bit further.

Buildfarm member fairywren doesn't like the test case I added
in commit 081876d75. I'm guessing the reason is that I shouldn't
be using a perl2host-ified path in the tar command line.
The existing test script does run pg_basebackup with the -Ft option,
but it makes no real attempt to verify the sanity of the results.
We wouldn't know if the output is incompatible with standard "tar"
programs, nor if the server fails to start from the restored output.
Notably, this means that xlog.c's read_tablespace_map() is not being
meaningfully tested, since that code is used only in the tar-format
case. (We do have reasonable coverage of restoring from plain-format
output, though it's over in src/test/recovery not here.)
Hence, attempt to untar the output and start a server from it,
rather just hoping it's OK.
This test assumes that the local "tar" has the "-C directory"
switch. Although that's not promised by POSIX, my research
suggests that all non-extinct tar implementations have it.
Should the buildfarm's opinion differ, we can complicate the
test a bit to avoid requiring that.
Possibly this should be back-patched, but I'm unsure about
whether it could work on Windows before d66b23b03.
CREATE TABLE AS has been preferred over SELECT INTO (outside of ecpg
and PL/pgSQL) for a long time. There were still a few uses of SELECT
INTO in tests and documentation, some old, some more recent. This
changes them to CREATE TABLE AS. Some occurrences in the tests remain
where they are specifically testing SELECT INTO parsing or similar.

Existing code used various inconsistent ways to printf struct stat's
st_size member. The type of that is off_t, which is in most cases a
signed 64-bit integer, so use the long long int format for it.
This patch started out with the goal of harmonizing various arbitrary
limits on password length, but after awhile a better idea emerged:
let's just get rid of those fixed limits.
recv_password_packet() has an arbitrary limit on the packet size,
which we don't really need, so just drop it. (Note that this doesn't
really affect anything for MD5 or SCRAM password verification, since
those will hash the user's password to something shorter anyway.
It does matter for auth methods that require a cleartext password.)
Likewise remove the arbitrary error condition in pg_saslprep().
The remaining limits are mostly in client-side code that prompts
for passwords. To improve those, refactor simple_prompt() so that
it allocates its own result buffer that can be made as big as
necessary. Actually, it proves best to make a separate routine
pg_get_line() that has essentially the semantics of fgets(), except
that it allocates a suitable result buffer and hence will never
return a truncated line. (pg_get_line has a lot of potential
applications to replace randomly-sized fgets buffers elsewhere,
but I'll leave that for another patch.)
I built pg_get_line() atop stringinfo.c, which requires moving
that code to src/common/; but that seems fine since it was a poor
fit for src/port/ anyway.
This patch is mostly mine, but it owes a good deal to Nathan Bossart
who pressed for a solution to the password length problem and
created a predecessor patch. Also thanks to Peter Eisentraut and
Stephen Frost for ideas and discussion.

A number of client programs have a "--progress" option that when printing
to a TTY, updates the current line by printing a '\r' and overwriting it.
After the last line, '\n' needs to be printed to move the cursor to the
next line. pg_basebackup and pgbench got this right, but pg_rewind and
pg_checksums were slightly wrong. pg_rewind printed the newline to stdout
instead of stderr, and pg_checksums printed the newline even when not
printing to a TTY. Fix them, and also add a 'finished' argument to
pg_basebackup's progress_report() function, to keep it consistent with
the other programs.
Backpatch to v12. pg_rewind's newline was broken with the logging changes
in commit cc8d415117 in v12, and pg_checksums was introduced in v12.

Windows has junction points which function as symbolic links for
directories. This patch introduces a new function TestLib::dir_symlink()
which creates a junction point on Windows and a standard Unix type
symbolic link elsewhere.
The function TestLib::perl2host is also modified, first to use cygpath
where it's available (e.g. msys2) and second to allow it to succeed if
the gandparent directory exists but the parent does not.
Given these changes the only symlink tests that need to be skipped on
Windows are those related to permissions or to use of readlink. The
relevant tests for pg_basebackup and pg_rewind are therefore adjusted
accordingly.

Includes some manual cleanup of places that pgindent messed up,
most of which weren't per project style anyway.
Notably, it seems some people didn't absorb the style rules of
commit c9d297751, because there were a bunch of new occurrences
of function calls with a newline just after the left paren, all
with faulty expectations about how the rest of the call would get
indented.
The defect suppressed a Standby Status Update message when bytes flushed
to disk had changed but bytes received had not changed. If
pg_recvlogical then exited with no intervening Standby Status Update,
the next pg_recvlogical repeated already-flushed records. The defect
could also cause superfluous messages, which are functionally harmless.

pg_recvlogical merely called PQfinish(), so the backend sent messages
after the disconnect. When that caused EPIPE in internal_flush(),
before a LogicalConfirmReceivedLocation(), the next pg_recvlogical would
repeat already-acknowledged records. Whether or not the defect causes
EPIPE, post-disconnect messages could contain an ErrorResponse that the
user should see. One properly ends PGRES_COPY_OUT by repeating
PQgetCopyData() until it returns a negative value. Augment one of the
tests to cover the case of WAL past --endpos. Back-patch to v10, where

When pg_basebackup -R is used, we inject standby.signal into the
tar file for the main tablespace. The proper thing to do is to pad
each file injected into the tar file out to a 512-byte boundary

511 zero bytes. Since 0 is already a multiple of 512, we should
not add any zero bytes. Do that instead.

Since 0d8c9c1, pg_basebackup would generate an error if connected to a
backend version older than 12 where backup manifests are not supported.
Avoiding this error is possible by using the --no-manifest option.
This error handling could be confusing for some users, where patching a
backup script that interacts with multiple backend versions would cause
the addition of --no-manifest to potentially not generate a backup
manifest even for Postgres 13 and newer versions. As we want to
encourage the use of backup manifests as much as possible, this commit
silently disables manifests where not supported, instead of generating
an error.
While on it, rework a bit the code to make it more consistent with the

A manifest is a JSON document which includes (1) the file name, size,
last modification time, and an optional checksum for each file backed
up, (2) timelines and LSNs for whatever WAL will need to be replayed
to make the backup consistent, and (3) a checksum for the manifest
itself. By default, we use CRC-32C when checksumming data files,
because we are trying to detect corruption and user error, not foil an
adversary. However, pg_basebackup and the server-side BASE_BACKUP
command now have options to select a different algorithm, so users
wanting a cryptographic hash function can select SHA-224, SHA-256,
SHA-384, or SHA-512. Users not wanting file checksums at all can
disable them, or disable generating of the backup manifest altogether.
Using a cryptographic hash function in place of CRC-32C consumes
significantly more CPU cycles, which may slow down backups in some
cases.
A new tool called pg_validatebackup can validate a backup against the
manifest. If no checksums are present, it can still check that the
right files exist and that they have the expected sizes. If checksums
are present, it can also verify that each file has the expected
checksum. Additionally, it calls pg_waldump to verify that the
expected WAL files are present and parseable. Only plain format
backups can be validated directly, but tar format backups can be
validated after extracting them.

This commit changes pg_basebackup so that it specifies PROGRESS option in
BASE_BACKUP replication command whether --progress is specified or not.
This causes the server to estimate the total backup size and report it in
pg_stat_progress_basebackup.backup_total, by default. This is reasonable
default because the time required for the estimation would not be so large
in most cases.
Also this commit adds new option --no-estimate-size to pg_basebackup.

When maintaining or merging patches, one of the most common sources
for conflicts are the list of objects in makefiles. Especially when
the split across lines has been changed on both sides, which is
somewhat common due to attempting to stay below 80 columns, those

Since the addition of fsync requests in bc34223 to make base backup data
consistent on disk once pg_basebackup finishes, each tablespace tar file
is individually flushed once completed, with an additional flush of the
parent directory when the base backup finishes. While holding a
connection to the server, a fsync request taking a long time may cause a
failure of the base backup, which is annoying for any integration. A
recent example of breakage can involve tcp_user_timeout, but
wal_sender_timeout can cause similar problems.
While reviewing the code, there was a second issue causing too many
fsync requests to be done for the same WAL data. As recursive fsyncs
are done at the end of the backup for both the plain and tar formats
from the base target directory where everything is written, it is fine
to disable fsyncs when fetching or streaming WAL.

The original placement of this module in src/fe_utils/ is ill-considered,
because several src/common/ modules have dependencies on it, meaning that
libpgcommon and libpgfeutils now have mutual dependencies. That makes it
pointless to have distinct libraries at all. The intended design is that
libpgcommon is lower-level than libpgfeutils, so only dependencies from
the latter to the former are acceptable.
We already have the precedent that fe_memutils and a couple of other
modules in src/common/ are frontend-only, so it's not stretching anything
out of whack to treat logging.c as a frontend-only module in src/common/.
To the extent that such modules help provide a common frontend/backend
environment for the rest of common/ to use, it's a reasonable design.
(logging.c does not yet provide an ereport() emulation, but one can
dream.)
Hence, move these files over, and revert basically all of the build-system
changes made by commit cc8d41511. There are no places that need to grow
new dependencies on libpgcommon, further reinforcing the idea that this
is the right solution.

This unifies the various ad hoc logging (message printing, error
printing) systems used throughout the command-line programs.
Features:
- Program name is automatically prefixed.
- Message string does not end with newline. This removes a common
source of inconsistencies and omissions.
- Additionally, a final newline is automatically stripped, simplifying
use of PQerrorMessage() etc., another common source of mistakes.
- I converted error message strings to use %m where possible.
- As a result of the above several points, more translatable message
strings can be shared between different components and between
frontends and backend, without gratuitous punctuation or whitespace
differences.
- There is support for setting a "log level". This is not meant to be
user-facing, but can be used internally to implement debug or
verbose modes.
- Lazy argument evaluation, so no significant overhead if logging at
some level is disabled.
- Some color in the messages, similar to gcc and clang. Set
PG_COLOR=auto to try it out. Some colors are predefined, but can be
customized by setting PG_COLORS.
- Common files (common/, fe_utils/, etc.) can handle logging much more
simply by just using one API without worrying too much about the
context of the calling program, requiring callbacks, or having to
pass "progname" around everywhere.
- Some programs called setvbuf() to make sure that stderr is
unbuffered, even on Windows. But not all programs did that. This
is now done centrally.
Soft goals:
- Reduces vertical space use and visual complexity of error reporting
in the source code.
- Encourages more deliberate classification of messages. For example,
in some cases it wasn't clear without analyzing the surrounding code
whether a message was meant as an error or just an info.
- Concepts and terms are vaguely aligned with popular logging
frameworks such as log4j and Python logging.
This is all just about printing stuff out. Nothing affects program
flow (e.g., fatal exits). The uses are just too varied to do that.
Some existing code had wrappers that do some kind of print-and-exit,
and I adapted those.
I tried to keep the output mostly the same, but there is a lot of
historical baggage to unwind and special cases to consider, and I
might not always have succeeded. One significant change is that
pg_rewind used to write all error messages to stdout. That is now
changed to stderr.

Aside from not being formally standards-compliant, this was just plain
ugly because it involved #ifdef's at every place using the code.
To eliminate the #ifdef's, create a portability function pg_strsignal,
which wraps strsignal(3) if available and otherwise falls back to
sys_siglist[] if available. The set of Unixen with neither API is
probably empty these days, but on any platform with neither, you'll
just get "unrecognized signal". All extant callers print the numeric

PostgreSQL uses a custom wrapper for open() and fopen() which is
concurrent-safe, allowing multiple processes to open and work on the
same file. This has a couple of advantages:
- pg_test_fsync does not handle O_DSYNC correctly otherwise, leading to
false claims that disks are unsafe.
- TAP tests can run into race conditions when a postmaster and pg_ctl
open postmaster.pid, fixing some random failures in the buildfam.
pg_upgrade is one frontend tool using workarounds to bypass file locking

There's a project policy against using plain "char buf[BLCKSZ]" local
or static variables as page buffers; preferred style is to palloc or
malloc each buffer to ensure it is MAXALIGN'd. However, that policy's
been ignored in an increasing number of places. We've apparently got
away with it so far, probably because (a) relatively few people use
platforms on which misalignment causes core dumps and/or (b) the
variables chance to be sufficiently aligned anyway. But this is not
something to rely on. Moreover, even if we don't get a core dump,
we might be paying a lot of cycles for misaligned accesses.
To fix, invent new union types PGAlignedBlock and PGAlignedXLogBlock
that the compiler must allocate with sufficient alignment, and use
those in place of plain char arrays.
I used these types even for variables where there's no risk of a
misaligned access, since ensuring proper alignment should make
kernel data transfers faster. I also changed some places where
we had been palloc'ing short-lived buffers, for coding style
uniformity and to save palloc/pfree overhead.

6cb3372 enforces errno to ENOSPC when less bytes than what is expected
have been written when it is unset, though it forgot to properly reset
errno before doing a system call to write(), causing errno to
potentially come from a previous system call.

Some error messages which report something about a file operation use
as well context which is already provided within the path being worked
on, making things rather duplicated. This creates more work for
translators, and does not actually bring clarity.
More could be done, however in a lot of cases the context used is
actually useful, still that patch gets down things with a good cut.

Some error messages related to file handling are using the code path
context to define their state. For example, 2PC-related errors are
referring to "two-phase status files", or "relation mapping file" is
used for catalog-to-filenode mapping, however those prove to be
difficult to translate, and are not more helpful than just referring to
the path of the file being worked on. So simplify all those error
messages by just referring to files with their path used. In some
cases, like the manipulation of WAL segments, the context is actually
helpful so those are kept.
Calls to the system function read() have also been rather inconsistent
with their error handling sometimes not reporting the number of bytes
read, and some other code paths trying to use an errno which has not
been set. The in-core functions are using a more consistent pattern
with this patch, which checks for both errno if set or if an
inconsistent read is happening.
So as to care about pluralization when reading an unexpected number of
byte(s), "could not read: read %d of %zu" is used as error message, with
%d field being the output result of read() and %zu the expected size.
This simplifies the work of translators with less variations of the same
message.

System calls mixed up in error code paths are causing two issues which
several code paths have not correctly handled:
1) For write() calls, sometimes the system may return less bytes than
what has been written without errno being set. Some paths were careful
enough to consider that case, and assumed that errno should be set to
ENOSPC, other calls missed that.
2) errno generated by a system call is overwritten by other system calls
which may succeed once an error code path is taken, causing what is
reported to the user to be incorrect.
This patch uses the brute-force approach of correcting all those code
paths. Some refactoring could happen in the future, but this is let as
future work, which is not targeted for back-branches anyway.

The vertical tightness settings collapse vertical whitespace between
opening and closing brackets (parentheses, square brakets and braces).
This can make data structures in particular harder to read, and is not
very consistent with our style in non-Perl code. This patch restricts
that setting to parentheses only, and reformats all the perl code
accordingly. Not applying this to parentheses has some unfortunate
effects, so the consensus is to keep the setting for parentheses and not
for the others.
The diff for this patch does highlight some places where structures
should have trailing commas. They can be added manually, as there is no
automatic tool to do so.

Allow the cluster to be optionally init'd with read access for the
group.
This means a relatively non-privileged user can perform a backup of the
cluster without requiring write privileges, which enhances security.
The mode of PGDATA is used to determine whether group permissions are
enabled for directory and file creates. This method was chosen as it's
simple and works well for the various utilities that write into PGDATA.
Changing the mode of PGDATA manually will not automatically change the
mode of all the files contained therein. If the user would like to
enable group access on an existing cluster then changing the mode of all
the existing files will be required. Note that pg_upgrade will
automatically change the mode of all migrated files if the new cluster
is init'd with the -g option.
Tests are included for the backend and all the utilities which operate
on the PG data directory to ensure that the correct mode is set based on
the data directory permissions.

We were being careless in some places about the order of -L switches in
link command lines, such that -L switches referring to external directories
could come before those referring to directories within the build tree.
This made it possible to accidentally link a system-supplied library, for
example /usr/lib/libpq.so, in place of the one built in the build tree.
Hilarity ensued, the more so the older the system-supplied library is.
To fix, break LDFLAGS into two parts, a sub-variable LDFLAGS_INTERNAL
and the main LDFLAGS variable, both of which are "recursively expanded"
so that they can be incrementally adjusted by different makefiles.
Establish a policy that -L switches for directories in the build tree
must always be added to LDFLAGS_INTERNAL, while -L switches for external
directories must always be added to LDFLAGS. This is sufficient to
ensure a safe search order. For simplicity, we typically also put -l
switches for the respective libraries into those same variables.
(Traditional make usage would have us put -l switches into LIBS, but
cleaning that up is a project for another day, as there's no clear
need for it.)
This turns out to also require separating SHLIB_LINK into two variables,
SHLIB_LINK and SHLIB_LINK_INTERNAL, with a similar rule about which
switches go into which variable. And likewise for PG_LIBS.
Although this change might appear to affect external users of pgxs.mk,
I think it doesn't; they shouldn't have any need to touch the _INTERNAL
variables.
In passing, tweak src/common/Makefile so that the value of CPPFLAGS
recorded in pg_config lacks "-DFRONTEND" and the recorded value of
LDFLAGS lacks "-L../../../src/common". Both of those things are
mistakes, apparently introduced during prior code rearrangements,
as old versions of pg_config don't print them. In general we don't
want anything that's specific to the src/common subdirectory to
appear in those outputs.
This is certainly a bug fix, but in view of the lack of field
complaints, I'm unsure whether it's worth the risk of back-patching.
In any case it seems wise to see what the buildfarm makes of it first.

When base backups are run over the replication protocol (for example

checksums are enabled. If checksum failures are encountered, log them

are enabled on the server), so add a switch (-k) to disable the checks

In e170b8c8, protection against modified search_path was added. However,
PostgreSQL versions prior to 10 does not accept SQL commands over a
replication connection, so the protection would generate a syntax error.

the issue that e170b8c8 fixes, so we can just skip this command for

This makes the client programs behave as documented regardless of the
connect-time search_path and regardless of user-created objects. Today,
a malicious user with CREATE permission on a search_path schema can take
control of certain of these clients' queries and invoke arbitrary SQL
functions under the client identity, often a superuser. This is
exploitable in the default configuration, where all users have CREATE
privilege on schema "public".
This changes behavior of user-defined code stored in the database, like
pg_index.indexprs and pg_extension_config_dump(). If they reach code
bearing unqualified names, "does not exist" or "no schema has been
selected to create in" errors might appear. Users may fix such errors
by schema-qualifying affected names. After upgrading, consider watching
server logs for these errors.
The --table arguments of src/bin/scripts clients have been lax; for
example, "vacuumdb -Zt pg_am\;CHECKPOINT" performed a checkpoint. That
now fails, but for now, "vacuumdb -Zt 'pg_am(amname);CHECKPOINT'" still
performs a checkpoint.

When requesting a particular replication slot, the new pg_basebackup
option -C/--create-slot creates it before starting to replicate from it.
Further refactor the slot creation logic to include the temporary slot
creation logic into the same function. Add new arguments is_temporary
and preserve_wal to CreateReplicationSlot(). Print in --verbose mode
that a slot has been created.
Author: Michael Banck <michael.banck@credativ.de>
Add some more tests for the --create-slot and --drop-slot options,
verifying that the right kind of slot was created and that the slot was
dropped. While working on an unrelated patch for pg_basebackup, some of
this was temporarily broken without any tests noticing.
The --slot option somehow ended up under options controlling the output,
and some other options were in a nonsensical place or were not moved
after recent renamings, so tidy all that up a bit.
One test case was meant to check that pg_basebackup does not succeed
when a slot is specified with -S but WAL streaming is not selected,
which used to require specifying -X stream. Since -X stream is the
default in PostgreSQL 10, this test case no longer covers that meaning,
but the pg_basebackup invocation happened to fail anyway for the
unrelated reason that the specified replication slot does not exist. To
fix, move the test case to later in the file where the slot does exist,
and add -X none to the invocation so that it covers the originally meant
behavior.

For performance reasons a larger segment size than the default 16MB
can be useful. A larger segment size has two main benefits: Firstly,
in setups using archiving, it makes it easier to write scripts that
can keep up with higher amounts of WAL, secondly, the WAL has to be
written and synced to disk less frequently.
But at the same time large segment size are disadvantageous for
smaller databases. So far the segment size had to be configured at
compile time, often making it unrealistic to choose one fitting to a
particularly load. Therefore change it to a initdb time setting.
This includes a breaking changes to the xlogreader.h API, which now
requires the current segment size to be configured. For that and
similar reasons a number of binaries had to be taught how to recognize
the current segment size.

In the frontend Makefiles that pull in libpgfeutils, we'd generally
done it like this:
LDFLAGS += -L$(top_builddir)/src/fe_utils -lpgfeutils $(libpq_pgport)
That method is badly broken, as seen in bug #14742 from Chris Ruprecht.
The -L flag for src/fe_utils ends up being placed after whatever random
-L flags are in LDFLAGS already. That puts us at risk of pulling in
libpgfeutils.a from some previous installation rather than the freshly
built one in src/fe_utils. Also, the lack of an "override" is hazardous
if someone tries to specify some LDFLAGS on the make command line.
The correct way to do it is like this:
override LDFLAGS := -L$(top_builddir)/src/fe_utils -lpgfeutils $(libpq_pgport) $(LDFLAGS)
so that libpgfeutils, along with libpq, libpgport, and libpgcommon, are
guaranteed to be pulled in from the build tree and not from any referenced
system directory, because their -L flags will appear first.
In some places we'd been even lazier and done it like this:
LDFLAGS += -L$(top_builddir)/src/fe_utils -lpgfeutils -lpq
which is subtly wrong in an additional way: on platforms where we can't
restrict the symbols exported by libpq.so, it allows libpgfeutils to
latch onto libpgport and libpgcommon symbols from libpq.so, rather than
directly from those static libraries as intended. This carries hazards
like those explained in the comments for the libpq_pgport macro.
In addition to fixing the broken libpgfeutils usages, I tried to
standardize on using $(libpq_pgport) like so:
override LDFLAGS := $(libpq_pgport) $(LDFLAGS)
even where libpgfeutils is not in the picture. This makes no difference
right now but will hopefully discourage future mistakes of the same ilk.
And it's more like the way we handle CPPFLAGS in libpq-using Makefiles.
In passing, just for consistency, make pgbench include PTHREAD_LIBS the
same way everyplace else does, ie just after LIBS rather than in some
random place in the command line. This might have practical effect if
there are -L switches in that macro on some platform.
It looks to me like the MSVC build scripts are not affected by this
error, but someone more familiar with them than I might want to double
check.
Back-patch to 9.6 where libpgfeutils was introduced. In 9.6, the hazard
this error creates is that a reinstallation might link to the prior
installation's copy of libpgfeutils.a and thereby fail to absorb a

Don't move parenthesized lines to the left, even if that means they
flow past the right margin.
By default, BSD indent lines up statement continuation lines that are
within parentheses so that they start just to the right of the preceding
left parenthesis. However, traditionally, if that resulted in the
continuation line extending to the right of the desired right margin,
then indent would push it left just far enough to not overrun the margin,
if it could do so without making the continuation line start to the left of
the current statement indent. That makes for a weird mix of indentations
unless one has been completely rigid about never violating the 80-column
limit.
This behavior has been pretty universally panned by Postgres developers.
Hence, disable it with indent's new -lpl switch, so that parenthesized
lines are always lined up with the preceding left paren.

changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.

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.

pg_basebackup's child process did not pay any attention to the pipe
from its parent while waiting for input from the source server.
If no server data was arriving, it would only wake up and check the
pipe every standby_message_timeout or so. This creates a problem
since the parent process might determine and send the desired stop
position only after the server has reached end-of-WAL and stopped
sending data. In the src/test/recovery regression tests, the timing
is repeatably such that it takes nearly 10 seconds for the child
process to realize that it should shut down. It's not clear how
often that would happen in real-world cases, but it sure seems like
a bug --- and if the user turns off standby_message_timeout or sets
it very large, the delay could be a lot worse.
To fix, expand the StreamCtl API to allow the pipe input FD to be
passed down to the low-level wait routine, and watch both sockets
when sleeping.
(Note: AFAICS this issue doesn't affect the Windows port, since
it doesn't rely on a pipe to transfer the stop position to the
child thread.)

rename all SQL-callable functions that contain "xlog" in the name to
instead contain "wal". (Note that this may pose an upgrade hazard for
some users.)
Similarly, rename the xlog_position argument of the functions that
create slots to be called wal_position.

Temporary replication slots will be used by default when wal streaming
is used and no slot name is specified with -S. If a slot name is
specified, then a permanent slot with that name is used. If --no-slot is
specified, then no permanent or temporary slot will be used.
Temporary slots are only used on 10.0 and newer, of course.
Allow pg_recvlogical to specify an ending LSN, complementing
the existing -—startpos=LSN option.

Since streaming is now supported for all output formats, make this the
default as this is what most people want.
To get the old behavior, the parameter -X none can be specified to turn
it off.
This also removes the parameter -x for fetch, now requiring -X fetch to
be specified to use that.

In 56c7d8d the behavior to keep .partial segments around
(considered corrupt) in case an connection failure occurs was
accidentally removed. This would lead to an incomplete segment
being considered complete.

Commit 56c7d8d455 allowed pg_basebackup
to stream WAL in tar mode. But there is the restriction that WAL
streaming in tar mode works only when the value - (dash) is not
specified as output directory. This means that the combination of
three options "-D -", "-F t" and "-X stream" is invalid. However,
previously, even when those options were specified at the same time,
pg_basebackup background process unexpectedly started streaming WAL.
And then it exited with an error.
This commit changes pg_basebackup so that it errors out on such
invalid combination of options at the beginning.

In each case, absence of a trailing newline would itself constitute a
PostgreSQL bug. Therefore, this slightly enhances the changed tests.
This works around a bug that last appeared in Perl 5.8.8, fixing
src/test/modules/test_pg_dump when run against that version. Commit
e7293e3271 worked around the bug, but the
subsequent addition of test_pg_dump introduced affected code. As that
commit had shown, slight increases in pattern complexity can suppress
the bug. This commit edits qr/foo$/m patterns too complex to encounter
the bug today, for style consistency and robustness against unrelated
pattern changes. Back-patch to 9.6, where test_pg_dump was introduced.
As of this writing, a fresh MSYS installation includes an affected Perl
5.8.8. The Perl 5.8.8 in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.11 carries a patch
that renders it unaffected, but the Perl 5.8.5 of Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 4.4 is affected.
Using the name fsync clashed with the #define we have on Windows that
redefines it to _commit. Naming it sync should remove that conflict.

This will write the received transaction log into a file called
pg_wal.tar(.gz) next to the other tarfiles instead of writing it to
base.tar. When using fetch mode, the transaction log is still written to
base.tar like before, and when used against a pre-10 server, the file
is named pg_xlog.tar.
To do this, implement a new concept of a "walmethod", which is
responsible for writing the WAL. Two implementations exist, one that
writes to a plain directory (which is also used by pg_receivexlog) and
one that writes to a tar file with optional compression.

"xlog" is not a particularly clear abbreviation for "write-ahead log",
and it sometimes confuses users into believe that the contents of the
"pg_xlog" directory are not critical data, leading to unpleasant
consequences. So, rename the directory to "pg_wal".
This patch modifies pg_upgrade and pg_basebackup to understand both
the old and new directory layouts; the former is necessary given the
purpose of the tool, while the latter merely avoids an unnecessary
backward-compatibility break.
We may wish to consider renaming other programs, switches, and
functions which still use the old "xlog" naming to also refer to
"wal". However, that's still under discussion, so let's do just this
much for now.

--noclean and --nosync were the only options spelled without a hyphen,
so change this for consistency with other options. The options in
pg_basebackup have not been in a release, so we just rename them. For
initdb, we retain the old variants.

Fixes errors introduced in commit bc34223bc, as detected by Coverity.
In passing, report ENOSPC for a short write while padding a new wal file in
open_walfile, make certain that close_walfile closes walfile in all cases,
and improve a couple of comments.

Several places weren't careful about fsyncing in the way. See 1d4a0ab1
and 606e0f98 for details about required fsyncs.
This adds a couple of functions in src/common/ that have an equivalent
in the backend: durable_rename(), fsync_parent_path()
