The previous method for doing that was to write zeroes into a predetermined set of page locations. However, there's a roughly 1-in-64K chance that the existing checksum will match by chance, and yesterday several buildfarm animals started to reproducibly see that, resulting in test failures because no checksum mismatch was reported. Since the checksum includes the page LSN, test success depends on the length of the installation's WAL history, which is affected by (at least) the initial catalog contents, the set of locales installed on the system, and the length of the pathname of the test directory. Sooner or later we were going to hit a chance match, and today is that day. Harden these tests by specifically inverting the checksum field and leaving all else alone, thereby guaranteeing that the checksum is incorrect. In passing, fix places that were using seek() to set up for syswrite(), a combination that the Perl docs very explicitly warn against. We've probably escaped problems because no regular buffered I/O is done on these filehandles; but if it ever breaks, we wouldn't deserve or get much sympathy. Although we've only seen problems in HEAD, now that we recognize the environmental dependencies it seems like it might be just a matter of time until someone manages to hit this in back-branch testing. Hence, back-patch to v11 where we started doing this kind of test. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/3192026.1648185780@sss.pgh.pa.us |

The PostgreSQL contrib tree --------------------------- This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be part of the main source tree. This does not preclude their usefulness. User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML documentation. When building from the source distribution, these modules are not built automatically, unless you build the "world" target. You can also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected module, do the same in that module's subdirectory. Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or types. To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command. In a fresh database, you can simply do CREATE EXTENSION module_name; See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this procedure.
