9d645fd84c Support syncing WAL log to disk using either fsync(), fdatasync(),
O_SYNC, or O_DSYNC (as available on a given platform).  Add GUC parameter
to control sync method.
Also, add defense to XLogWrite to prevent it from going nuts if passed
a target write position that's past the end of the buffers so far filled
by XLogInsert.

4d14fe0048 XLOG (and related) changes:
* Store two past checkpoint locations, not just one, in pg_control.
  On startup, we fall back to the older checkpoint if the newer one
  is unreadable.  Also, a physical copy of the newest checkpoint record
  is kept in pg_control for possible use in disaster recovery (ie,
  complete loss of pg_xlog).  Also add a version number for pg_control
  itself.  Remove archdir from pg_control; it ought to be a GUC
  parameter, not a special case (not that it's implemented yet anyway).

* Suppress successive checkpoint records when nothing has been entered
  in the WAL log since the last one.  This is not so much to avoid I/O
  as to make it actually useful to keep track of the last two
  checkpoints.  If the things are right next to each other then there's
  not a lot of redundancy gained...

* Change CRC scheme to a true 64-bit CRC, not a pair of 32-bit CRCs
  on alternate bytes.  Polynomial borrowed from ECMA DLT1 standard.

* Fix XLOG record length handling so that it will work at BLCKSZ = 32k.

* Change XID allocation to work more like OID allocation.  (This is of
  dubious necessity, but I think it's a good idea anyway.)

* Fix a number of minor bugs, such as off-by-one logic for XLOG file
  wraparound at the 4 gig mark.

* Add documentation and clean up some coding infelicities; move file
  format declarations out to include files where planned contrib
  utilities can get at them.

* Checkpoint will now occur every CHECKPOINT_SEGMENTS log segments or
  every CHECKPOINT_TIMEOUT seconds, whichever comes first.  It is also
  possible to force a checkpoint by sending SIGUSR1 to the postmaster
  (undocumented feature...)

* Defend against kill -9 postmaster by storing shmem block's key and ID
  in postmaster.pid lockfile, and checking at startup to ensure that no
  processes are still connected to old shmem block (if it still exists).

* Switch backends to accept SIGQUIT rather than SIGUSR1 for emergency
  stop, for symmetry with postmaster and xlog utilities.  Clean up signal
  handling in bootstrap.c so that xlog utilities launched by postmaster
  will react to signals better.

* Standalone bootstrap now grabs lockfile in target directory, as added
  insurance against running it in parallel with live postmaster.

9c9936587c Implement COMMIT_SIBLINGS parameter to allow pre-commit delay to occur
only if at least N other backends currently have open transactions.  This
is not a great deal of intelligence about whether a delay might be
profitable ... but it beats no intelligence at all.  Note that the default
COMMIT_DELAY is still zero --- this new code does nothing unless that
setting is changed.
Also, mark ENABLEFSYNC as a system-wide setting.  It's no longer safe to
allow that to be set per-backend, since we may be relying on some other
backend's fsync to have synced the WAL log.

d08741eab5 Restructure the key include files per recent pghackers discussion: there
are now separate files "postgres.h" and "postgres_fe.h", which are meant
to be the primary include files for backend .c files and frontend .c files
respectively.  By default, only include files meant for frontend use are
installed into the installation include directory.  There is a new make
target 'make install-all-headers' that adds the whole content of the
src/include tree to the installed fileset, for use by people who want to
develop server-side code without keeping the complete source tree on hand.
Cleaned up a whole lot of crufty and inconsistent header inclusions.

87070ccc13 It looks Ok, but it has one unnecessary step. There is no need to do the "mv
privkey.pem cert.pem.pw" if you just use "privkey.pem" in the following
openssl command (e.g. openssl rsa -in privkey.pem -out cert.pem".
But there is nothing wrong with it as it is now, as far as I can see.

d128852358 In the Programmer's Guide, the sample code for accessing large objects
from libpq has two functions with memory leaks.

The functions pickout() and overwrite() malloc space for buf which is
never freed.

This problem is also in the 6.5 docs at

df389d161d Approaching the current documentation from a position of ignorance, I
find it ambiguous.  I propose something along the lines of the
following patch to clarify it.  Thanks.

(Alternatively, perhaps the code could maintain a count of nested
calls to SPI_connect/SPI_finish.  But I didn't try to write that
patch.)

2fb6cc9045 Remove not-really-standard implementation of CREATE TABLE's UNDER clause,
and revert documentation to describe the existing INHERITS clause
instead, per recent discussion in pghackers.  Also fix implementation
of SQL_inheritance SET variable: it is not cool to look at this var
during the initial parsing phase, only during parse_analyze().  See
recent bug report concerning misinterpretation of date constants just
after a SET TIMEZONE command.  gram.y really has to be an invariant
transformation of the query string to a raw parsetree; anything that
can vary with time must be done during parse analysis.
