Tom Lane a7a7387575 Further improve code for probing the availability of ARM CRC instructions.
Andrew Gierth pointed out that commit 1c72ec6f4 would yield the wrong
answer on big-endian ARM systems, because the data being CRC'd would be
different.  To fix that, and avoid the rather unsightly hard-wired
constant, simply compare the hardware and software implementations'
results.

While we're at it, also log the resulting decision at DEBUG1, and error
out if the hw and sw results unexpectedly differ.  Also, since this
file must compile for both frontend and backend, avoid incorrect
dependencies on backend-only headers.

In passing, add a comment to postmaster.c about when the CRC function
pointer will get initialized.

Thomas Munro, based on complaints from Andrew Gierth and Tom Lane

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
