* Revamp the WAL record format.Heikki Linnakangas2014-11-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Each WAL record now carries information about the modified relation and block(s) in a standardized format. That makes it easier to write tools that need that information, like pg_rewind, prefetching the blocks to speed up recovery, etc. There's a whole new API for building WAL records, replacing the XLogRecData chains used previously. The new API consists of XLogRegister* functions, which are called for each buffer and chunk of data that is added to the record. The new API also gives more control over when a full-page image is written, by passing flags to the XLogRegisterBuffer function. This also simplifies the XLogReadBufferForRedo() calls. The function can dig the relation and block number from the WAL record, so they no longer need to be passed as arguments. For the convenience of redo routines, XLogReader now disects each WAL record after reading it, copying the main data part and the per-block data into MAXALIGNed buffers. The data chunks are not aligned within the WAL record, but the redo routines can assume that the pointers returned by XLogRecGet* functions are. Redo routines are now passed the XLogReaderState, which contains the record in the already-disected format, instead of the plain XLogRecord. The new record format also makes the fixed size XLogRecord header smaller, by removing the xl_len field. The length of the "main data" portion is now stored at the end of the WAL record, and there's a separate header after XLogRecord for it. The alignment padding at the end of XLogRecord is also removed. This compansates for the fact that the new format would otherwise be more bulky than the old format.

* Improve code around the recently added rm_identify rmgr callback.Andres Freund2014-09-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are four weaknesses in728f152e07f998d2cb4fe5f24ec8da2c3bda98f2: * append_init() in heapdesc.c was ugly and required that rm_identify return values are only valid till the next call. Instead just add a couple more switch() cases for the INIT_PAGE cases. Now the returned value will always be valid. * a couple rm_identify() callbacks missed masking xl_info with ~XLR_INFO_MASK. * pg_xlogdump didn't map a NULL rm_identify to UNKNOWN or a similar string. * append_init() was called when id=NULL - which should never actually happen. But it's better to be careful.
* Add rmgr callback to name xlog record types for display purposes.Andres Freund2014-09-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is primarily useful for the upcoming pg_xlogdump --stats feature, but also allows to remove some duplicated code in the rmgr_desc routines. Due to the separation and harmonization, the output of dipsplayed records changes somewhat. But since this isn't enduser oriented content that's ok. It's potentially desirable to further change pg_xlogdump's display of records. It previously wasn't possible to show the record type separately from the description forcing it to be in the last column. But that's better done in a separate commit.

* Change the signature of rm_desc so that it's passed a XLogRecord.Heikki Linnakangas2014-06-14
| | | | Just feels more natural, and is more consistent with rm_redo.
* Update copyright for 2014Bruce Momjian2014-01-07
| | | | | Update all files in head, and files COPYRIGHT and legal.sgml in all back branches.
* Use appendStringInfoString instead of appendStringInfo where possible.Robert Haas2013-10-31
| | | | | | | This shaves a few cycles, and generally seems like good programming practice. David Rowley
* pgindent run for release 9.3Bruce Momjian2013-05-29
| | | | | This is the first run of the Perl-based pgindent script. Also update pgindent instructions.
* Update copyrights for 2013Bruce Momjian2013-01-01
| | | | | Fully update git head, and update back branches in ./COPYRIGHT and legal.sgml files.
* Split out rmgr rm_desc functions into their own filesAlvaro Herrera2012-11-28
This is necessary (but not sufficient) to have them compilable outside of a backend environment.
