StartupXLOG and ShutdownXLOG no longer need to be critical sections, because
in all contexts where they are invoked, elog(ERROR) would be translated to
elog(FATAL) anyway. (One change in bgwriter.c is needed to make this true:
set ExitOnAnyError before trying to exit. This is a good fix anyway since
the existing code would have gone into an infinite loop on elog(ERROR) during
shutdown.) That avoids a misleading report of PANIC during semi-orderly
failures. Modify the postmaster to include the startup process in the set of
processes that get SIGTERM when a fast shutdown is requested, and also fix it
to not try to restart the bgwriter if the bgwriter fails while trying to write
the shutdown checkpoint. Net result is that "pg_ctl stop -m fast" does
something reasonable for a system in warm standby mode, and so should Unix
system shutdown (ie, universal SIGTERM). Per gripe from Stephen Harris and
some corner-case testing of my own.

Windows), arrange for each postmaster child process to be its own process
group leader, and deliver signals SIGINT, SIGTERM, SIGQUIT to the whole
process group not only the direct child process. This provides saner behavior
for archive and recovery scripts; in particular, it's possible to shut down a
warm-standby recovery server using "pg_ctl stop -m immediate", since delivery
of SIGQUIT to the startup subprocess will result in killing the waiting
recovery_command. Also, this makes Query Cancel and statement_timeout apply
to scripts being run from backends via system(). (There is no support in the
core backend for that, but it's widely done using untrusted PLs.) Per gripe
from Stephen Harris and subsequent discussion.

30 seconds instead of retrying forever. Also modify xlog.c so that if
it fails to rename an old xlog segment up to a future slot, it will
unlink the segment instead. Per discussion of bug #2712, in which it
became apparent that Windows can handle unlinking a file that's being
held open, but not renaming it.

in PITR scenarios. We now WAL-log the replacement of old XIDs with
FrozenTransactionId, so that such replacement is guaranteed to propagate to
PITR slave databases. Also, rather than relying on hint-bit updates to be
preserved, pg_clog is not truncated until all instances of an XID are known to
have been replaced by FrozenTransactionId. Add new GUC variables and
pg_autovacuum columns to allow management of the freezing policy, so that
users can trade off the size of pg_clog against the amount of freezing work
done. Revise the already-existing code that forces autovacuum of tables
approaching the wraparound point to make it more bulletproof; also, revise the
autovacuum logic so that anti-wraparound vacuuming is done per-table rather
than per-database. initdb forced because of changes in pg_class, pg_database,
and pg_autovacuum catalogs. Heikki Linnakangas, Simon Riggs, and Tom Lane.

remove. Per gripe from Jon Lapham and subsequent discussion of 27-Sep.

of the transaction ID counter. Nothing is done with the epoch except to
store it in checkpoint records, but this provides a foundation with which
add-on code can pretend that XIDs never wrap around. This is a severely
trimmed and rewritten version of the xxid patch submitted by Marko Kreen.
Per discussion, the epoch counter seems the only part of xxid that really
needs to be in the core server.

than N seconds apart. This allows a simple, if not very high performance,
means of guaranteeing that a PITR archive is no more than N seconds behind
real time. Also make pg_current_xlog_location return the WAL Write pointer,
add pg_current_xlog_insert_location to return the Insert pointer, and fix
pg_xlogfile_name_offset to return its results as a two-element record instead
of a smashed-together string, as per recent discussion.

operation every so often. This improves the usefulness of PITR log
shipping for hot standby: formerly, if the standby server crashed, it
was necessary to restart it from the last base backup and replay all
the WAL since then. Now it will only need to reread about the same
amount of WAL as the master server would. The behavior might also
come in handy during a long PITR replay sequence. Simon Riggs,
with some editorialization by Tom Lane.

whenever we start to read within that file. The first page carries
extra identification information that really ought to be checked, but
as the code stood, this was only checked when we switched sequentially
into a new WAL file, or if by chance the starting checkpoint record was
within the first page. This patch ensures that we will detect bogus
'long header' information before we start replaying the WAL sequence.

to occur between pg_start_backup() and pg_stop_backup(), even if the GUC
setting full_page_writes is OFF. Per discussion, doing this in combination
with the already-existing checkpoint during pg_start_backup() should ensure
safety against partial page updates being included in the backup. We do
not have to force full page writes to occur during normal PITR operation,
as I had first feared.

update no-longer-existing pages to fall through as no-ops, but make a note
of each page number referenced by such records. If we don't see a later
XLOG entry dropping the table or truncating away the page, complain at
the end of XLOG replay. Since this fixes the known failure mode for
full_page_writes = off, revert my previous band-aid patch that disabled
that GUC variable.

used within WAL files. Historically this was the same as the data file
BLCKSZ, but there's no necessary connection, and it's possible that
performance gains might ensue from reducing XLOG_BLCKSZ. In any case
distinguishing two symbols should improve code clarity. This commit
does not actually change the page size, only provide the infrastructure
to make it possible to do so. initdb forced because of addition of a
field to pg_control.

misleadingly-named WriteBuffer routine, and instead require routines that
change buffer pages to call MarkBufferDirty (which does exactly what it says).
We also require that they do so before calling XLogInsert; this takes care of
the synchronization requirement documented in SyncOneBuffer. Note that
because bufmgr takes the buffer content lock (in shared mode) while writing
out any buffer, it doesn't matter whether MarkBufferDirty is executed before
the buffer content change is complete, so long as the content change is
completed before releasing exclusive lock on the buffer. So it's OK to set
the dirtybit before we fill in the LSN.
This eliminates the former kluge of needing to set the dirtybit in LockBuffer.
Aside from making the code more transparent, we can also add some new
debugging assertions, in particular that the caller of MarkBufferDirty must
hold the buffer content lock, not merely a pin.

This commit doesn't make much functional change, but it does eliminate some
duplicated code --- for instance, PageIsNew tests are now done inside
XLogReadBuffer rather than by each caller.
The GIST xlog code still needs a lot of love, but I'll worry about that
separately.

failures even when the hardware and OS did nothing wrong. Per recent analysis
of a problem report from Alex Bahdushka.
For the moment I've just diked out the test of the parameter, rather than
removing the GUC infrastructure and documentation, in case we conclude that
there's something salvageable there. There seems no chance of it being
resurrected in the 8.1 branch though.

when an error occurs during xlog replay. Also, replace the former risky
'write into a fixed-size buffer with no overflow detection' API for XLOG
record description routines; use an expansible StringInfo instead. (The
latter accounts for most of the patch bulk.)

in favor of having just one set of macros that don't do HOLD/RESUME_INTERRUPTS
(hence, these correspond to the old SpinLockAcquire_NoHoldoff case).
Given our coding rules for spinlock use, there is no reason to allow
CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS to be done while holding a spinlock, and also there
is no situation where ImmediateInterruptOK will be true while holding a
spinlock. Therefore doing HOLD/RESUME_INTERRUPTS while taking/releasing a
spinlock is just a waste of cycles. Qingqing Zhou and Tom Lane.

after the fact. Fix bug with incorrect test for whether we are at end
of logfile segment. Arrange for writes triggered by XLogInsert's
is-cache-more-than-half-full test to synchronize with the cache boundaries,
so that in long transactions we tend to write alternating halves of the
cache rather than randomly chosen portions of it; this saves one more
write syscall per cache load.

to 'Size' (that is, size_t), and install overflow detection checks in it.
This allows us to remove the former arbitrary restrictions on NBuffers
etc. It won't make any difference in a 32-bit machine, but in a 64-bit
machine you could theoretically have terabytes of shared buffers.
(How efficiently we could manage 'em remains to be seen.) Similarly,
num_temp_buffers, work_mem, and maintenance_work_mem can be set above
2Gb on a 64-bit machine. Original patch from Koichi Suzuki, additional
work by moi.

delay and limit, both as global GUCs and as table-specific entries in
pg_autovacuum. stats_reset_on_server_start is now OFF by default,
but a reset is forced if we did WAL replay. XID-wrap vacuums do not

track shared relations in a separate hashtable, so that operations done
from different databases are counted correctly. Add proper support for
anti-XID-wraparound vacuuming, even in databases that are never connected
to and so have no stats entries. Miscellaneous other bug fixes.
