Gen_fmgrtab.pl creates a new file fmgrprotos.h, which contains
prototypes for all functions registered in pg_proc.h. This avoids
having to manually maintain these prototypes across a random variety of
header files. It also automatically enforces a correct function
signature, and since there are warnings about missing prototypes, it
will detect functions that are defined but not registered in
pg_proc.h (or otherwise used).

We weren't terribly consistent about whether to call Apple's OS "OS X"
or "Mac OS X", and the former is probably confusing to people who aren't
Apple users. Now that Apple has rebranded it "macOS", follow their lead
to establish a consistent naming pattern. Also, avoid the use of the
ancient project name "Darwin", except as the port code name which does not
seem desirable to change. (In short, this patch touches documentation and
comments, but no actual code.)
I didn't touch contrib/start-scripts/osx/, either. I suspect those are
obsolete and due for a rewrite, anyway.
I dithered about whether to apply this edit to old release notes, but
those were responsible for quite a lot of the inconsistencies, so I ended
up changing them too. Anyway, Apple's being ahistorical about this,
so why shouldn't we be?
As of 9.6, pg_regress doesn't build unless storage/lwlocknames.h has been
created; but there was nothing forcing that to happen if you just went into
src/test/regress/ and built there. We previously had a similar complaint
about plpython.
To fix in a way that won't break next time we invent a generated header,
make src/backend/Makefile expose a phony target for updating all the
include files it builds, and invoke that before building pg_regress or
plpython. In principle, maybe we ought to invoke that everywhere; but
it would add a lot of usually-useless make cycles, so let's just do it
in the places where people have complained.
I made a couple of cosmetic adjustments in src/backend/Makefile as well,
to deal with the generated headers in consistent orders.

Previously synchronous replication offered only the ability to confirm
that all changes made by a transaction had been transferred to at most
one synchronous standby server.
This commit extends synchronous replication so that it supports multiple
synchronous standby servers. It enables users to consider one or more
standby servers as synchronous, and increase the level of transaction
durability by ensuring that transaction commits wait for replies from
all of those synchronous standbys.
Multiple synchronous standby servers are configured in
synchronous_standby_names which is extended to support new syntax of
'num_sync ( standby_name [ , ... ] )', where num_sync specifies
the number of synchronous standbys that transaction commits need to
wait for replies from and standby_name is the name of a standby
server.
The syntax of 'standby_name [ , ... ]' which was used in 9.5 or before
is also still supported. It's the same as new syntax with num_sync=1.
This commit doesn't include "quorum commit" feature which was discussed
in pgsql-hackers. Synchronous standbys are chosen based on their priorities.
synchronous_standby_names determines the priority of each standby for
being chosen as a synchronous standby. The standbys whose names appear
earlier in the list are given higher priority and will be considered as
synchronous. Other standby servers appearing later in this list
represent potential synchronous standbys.
The regression test for multiple synchronous standbys is not included
in this commit. It should come later.

Many thanks to the various individuals who were involved in
discussing and developing this feature.
Previously latches for windows and unix had been implemented in
different files. A later patch introduce an expanded wait
infrastructure, keeping the implementation separate would introduce too
much duplication.
This basically just moves the functions, without too much change. The
reason to keep this separate is that it allows blame to continue working
a little less badly; and to make review a tiny bit easier.

Insert sd_notify() calls at server start and stop for integration with
systemd. This allows the use of systemd service units of type "notify",
which greatly simplifies the systemd configuration.

Per Mark Johnston, this resolves a build error on FreeBSD related
to the fact that dtrace is modifying the generated object files
under the hood. Consequently, without this, dtrace gets reinvoked
at install time because the object files have been updated. This
is a pretty hacky fix, but it shouldn't hurt anything, and it's
not clear that it's worth expending any more effort for a feature
that not too many people are using.
Patch by Mark Johnston. This is arguably back-patchable as a bug
fix to the build system, but I'm not certain enough of the
consequences to try that. Let's see what the buildfarm (and
our packagers) think of this change on master first.
Naming the individual lwlocks seems like something that may be useful
for other types of debugging, monitoring, or instrumentation output,
but this commit just implements it for the specific case of
trace_lwlocks.

This allows PostgreSQL modules and their dependencies to have undefined
symbols, resolved at runtime. Perl module shared objects rely on that
in Perl 5.8.0 and later. This fixes the crash when PL/PerlU loads such
modules, as the hstore_plperl test suite does. Module authors can link
using -Wl,-G to permit undefined symbols; by default, linking will fail
as it has. Back-patch to 9.0 (all supported versions).
Get rid of use of dlltool for linking the main postgres executable.
dlltool is obsolete and we'd prefer to stop depending on it.
Also, include $(LDAP_LIBS_FE) in $(libpq_pgport). (It's not clear that
this is really needed, or why it's not a linker bug if it is needed.
But reports are that it's needed on current Cygwin.)
We might want to back-patch this if it works, but first let's see
what the buildfarm thinks.

This enables non-backend code, such as pg_xlogdump, to use it easily.
The previous location, in src/backend/catalog/catalog.c, made that
essentially impossible because that file depends on many backend-only
facilities; so this needs to live separately.
Building a shlib on AIX requires use of the mkldexport.sh script, but we
failed to install that, preventing its use from non-source-tree contexts.
Also, Makefile.aix had the wrong idea about where to find the installed
copy of the postgres.imp symbol file used by AIX.
Per report from John Pierce. Patch all the way back, since this has been
broken since the beginning of PGXS.
Per recent work by Peter Geoghegan, it's significantly faster to
tuplesort on a single sortkey if ApplySortComparator is inlined into
quicksort rather reached via a function pointer. It's also faster
in general to have a version of quicksort which is specialized for
sorting SortTuple objects rather than objects of arbitrary size and
type. This requires a couple of additional copies of the quicksort
logic, which in this patch are generate using a Perl script. There
might be some benefit in adding further specializations here too,
but thus far it's not clear that those gains are worth their weight
in code footprint.
backend/Makefile was treating errcodes.h as a header always generated
during build, but actually it's a header provided in tarballs. Hence,
must use the absolute-symlink recipe, not the relative-symlink one.
Per bug #6072 from Hartmut Raschick.
Per recommendation from Peter. Neither choice is bulletproof, but this
is the existing style and it does help prevent unexpected environment
variable substitution.
At least two recent commits have apparently imagined that a comment in
a Makefile stating that something would be included in the distribution
tarball was sufficient to make it so. They hadn't bothered to hook
into the upper maintainer-clean targets either. Per bug #5923 from
Charles Johnson, in which it emerged that the 9.1alpha4 tarballs are
short a few files that should be there.
This fixes make distprep, and seems more robust in other ways as well.
Some special handling is required because errcodes.txt is needed by
some stuff in src/port, but just by src/backend as is the case for the
other generated headers.
While I'm at it, fix a few other things that were overlooked in the
original patch.
src/pl/plpgsql/src/plerrcodes.h, src/include/utils/errcodes.h, and a
big chunk of errcodes.sgml are now automatically generated from a single
file, src/backend/utils/errcodes.txt.

linking both executables and shared libraries, and we add on LDFLAGS_EX when
linking executables or LDFLAGS_SL when linking shared libraries. This
provides a significantly cleaner way of dealing with link-time switches than
the former behavior. Also, make sure that the various platform-specific
%.so: %.o rules incorporate LDFLAGS and LDFLAGS_SL; most of them missed that
before. (I did not add these variables for the platforms that invoke $(LD)
directly, however. It's not clear if we can do that safely, since for the
most part we assume these variables use CC command-line syntax.)
Per gripe from Aaron Swenson and subsequent investigation.
This includes two new kinds of postmaster processes, walsenders and
walreceiver. Walreceiver is responsible for connecting to the primary server
and streaming WAL to disk, while walsender runs in the primary server and
streams WAL from disk to the client.
Documentation still needs work, but the basics are there. We will probably
pull the replication section to a new chapter later on, as well as the
sections describing file-based replication. But let's do that as a separate
patch, so that it's easier to see what has been added/changed. This patch
also adds a new section to the chapter about FE/BE protocol, documenting the
protocol used by walsender/walreceivxer.
Bump catalog version because of two new functions,

pg_attribute, by having genbki.pl derive the information from the various
catalog header files. This greatly simplifies modification of the
"bootstrapped" catalogs.
This patch finally kills genbki.sh and Gen_fmgrtab.sh; we now rely entirely on
Perl scripts for those build steps. To avoid creating a Perl build dependency
where there was not one before, the output files generated by these scripts
are now treated as distprep targets, ie, they will be built and shipped in
tarballs. But you will need a reasonably modern Perl (probably at least
5.6) if you want to build from a CVS pull.
The changes to the MSVC build process are untested, and may well break ---
we'll soon find out from the buildfarm.

workflows, and shouldn't really break anything else.
Update install-sh to that from Autoconf 2.63, plus our Darwin-specific
changes (which I simplified a bit). install-sh is now able to install
multiple files in one run, so we could simplify our makefiles sometime.
install-sh also now has a -d option to create directories, so we don't need
mkinstalldirs anymore.
Use AC_PROG_MKDIR_P in configure.in, so we can use mkdir -p when available
instead of install-sh -d. For consistency with the rest of the world,
the corresponding make variable has been renamed from $(mkinstalldirs) to
$(MKDIR_P).
