Commit 314cbfc5da redefined the signature of this hook as
typedef int (*walrcv_receive_type) (char **buffer, int *wait_fd);
But in fact the type of the "wait_fd" variable ought to be pgsocket,
which is what WaitLatchOrSocket expects, and which is necessary if
we want to be able to assign PGINVALID_SOCKET to it on Windows.
So fix that.
Logical messages, added in 3fe3511d05, during decoding failed to filter
messages emitted in other databases and messages emitted "under" a
replication origin the output plugin isn't interested in.
Add tests to verify that both types of filtering actually work. While
touching message.sql remove hunk obsoleted by d25379e.
Bump XLOG_PAGE_MAGIC because xl_logical_message changed and because
3fe3511d05 had omitted doing so. 3fe3511d05 additionally didn't bump
catversion, but 7a542700d has done so since.

The current definition of init_spin_delay (introduced recently in
48354581a) wasn't C89 compliant. It's not legal to refer to refer to
non-constant expressions, and the ptr argument was one. This, as
reported by Tom, lead to a failure on buildfarm animal pademelon.
The pointer, especially on system systems with ASLR, isn't super helpful
anyway, though. So instead of making init_spin_delay into an inline
function, make s_lock_stuck() report the function name in addition to
file:line and change init_spin_delay() accordingly. While not a direct
replacement, the function name is likely more useful anyway (line
numbers are often hard to interpret in third party reports).
This also fixes what file/line number is reported for waits via
s_lock().
As PG_FUNCNAME_MACRO is now used outside of elog.h, move it to c.h.

The recent patch to make Pin/UnpinBuffer lockfree in the hot
path (48354581a), accidentally used pg_atomic_fetch_or_u32() in
MarkLocalBufferDirty(). Other code operating on local buffers was
careful to only use pg_atomic_read/write_u32 which just read/write from
memory; to avoid unnecessary overhead.
On its own that'd just make MarkLocalBufferDirty() slightly less
efficient, but in addition InitLocalBuffers() doesn't call
pg_atomic_init_u32() - thus the spinlock fallback for the atomic
operations isn't initialized. That in turn caused, as reported by Tom,
buildfarm animal gaur to fail. As those errors are actually useful
against this type of error, continue to omit - intentionally this time -
initialization of the atomic variable.
In addition, add an explicit note about only using pg_atomic_read/write
on local buffers's state to BufferDesc's description.

It's silly to define these counts as narrower than they might someday
need to be. Also, I believe that the BLCKSZ * nflush calculation in
mdwriteback was capable of overflowing an int.
I've seen one too many "could not bind IPv4 socket: No error" log entries
from the Windows buildfarm members. Per previous discussion, this is
likely caused by the fact that we're doing nothing to translate
WSAGetLastError() to errno. Put in a wrapper layer to do that.
If this works as expected, it should get back-patched, but let's see what
happens in the buildfarm first.

Per discussion, this gives potential users of the hook more flexibility,
because they can build custom Paths that implement only one stage of
upper processing atop core-provided Paths for earlier stages.
Rename this function to GenericXLogRegisterBuffer() to make it clearer
what it does, and leave room for other sorts of "register" actions in
future. Also, replace its "bool isNew" argument with an integer flags
argument, so as to allow adding more flags in future without an API
break.

I was initially concerned that the some of the hundreds of
references to BufferGetPage() where the literal
BGP_NO_SNAPSHOT_TEST were passed might not optimize as well as a
macro, leading to some hard-to-find performance regressions in
corner cases. Inspection of disassembled code has shown identical
code at all inspected locations, and the size difference doesn't
amount to even one byte per such call. So make it readable.
Per gripes from Álvaro Herrera and Tom Lane
Previously we used a spinlock, in adition to the atomically manipulated
->state field, to protect the wait queue. But it's pretty simple to
instead perform the locking using a flag in state.
Due to 6150a1b0 BufferDescs, on platforms (like PPC) with > 1 byte
spinlocks, increased their size above 64byte. As 64 bytes are the size
we pad allocated BufferDescs to, this can increase false sharing;
causing performance problems in turn. Together with the previous commit
this reduces the size to <= 64 bytes on all common platforms.

Pinning/Unpinning a buffer is a very frequent operation; especially in
read-mostly cache resident workloads. Benchmarking shows that in various
scenarios the spinlock protecting a buffer header's state becomes a
significant bottleneck. The problem can be reproduced with pgbench -S on
larger machines, but can be considerably worse for queries which touch
the same buffers over and over at a high frequency (e.g. nested loops
over a small inner table).
To allow atomic operations to be used, cram BufferDesc's flags,
usage_count, buf_hdr_lock, refcount into a single 32bit atomic variable;
that allows to manipulate them together using 32bit compare-and-swap
operations. This requires reducing MAX_BACKENDS to 2^18-1 (which could
be lifted by using a 64bit field, but it's not a realistic configuration
atm).
As not all operations can easily implemented in a lockfree manner,
implement the previous buf_hdr_lock via a flag bit in the atomic
variable. That way we can continue to lock the header in places where
it's needed, but can get away without acquiring it in the more frequent
hot-paths. There's some additional operations which can be done without
the lock, but aren't in this patch; but the most important places are
covered.
As bufmgr.c now essentially re-implements spinlocks, abstract the delay
logic from s_lock.c into something more generic. It now has already two
users, and more are coming up; there's a follupw patch for lwlock.c at
least.
This patch is based on a proof-of-concept written by me, which Alexander
Korotkov made into a fully working patch; the committed version is again
revised by me. Benchmarking and testing has, amongst others, been

This routine is unsafe as implemented, because it invalidates the page
image pointers returned by previous GenericXLogRegister() calls.
Rather than complicate the API or the implementation to avoid that,
let's just get rid of it; the use-case for having it seems much
too thin to justify a lot of work here.
While at it, do some wordsmithing on the SGML docs for generic WAL.
\crosstabview is a completely different way to display results from a
query: instead of a vertical display of rows, the data values are placed
in a grid where the column and row headers come from the data itself,
similar to a spreadsheet.
The sort order of the horizontal header can be specified by using
another column in the query, and the vertical header determines its
ordering from the order in which they appear in the query.
This only allows displaying a single value in each cell. If more than
one value correspond to the same cell, an error is thrown. Merging of
values can be done in the query itself, if necessary. This may be
revisited in the future.

This feature is controlled by a new old_snapshot_threshold GUC. A
value of -1 disables the feature, and that is the default. The
value of 0 is just intended for testing. Above that it is the
number of minutes a snapshot can reach before pruning and vacuum
are allowed to remove dead tuples which the snapshot would
otherwise protect. The xmin associated with a transaction ID does
still protect dead tuples. A connection which is using an "old"
snapshot does not get an error unless it accesses a page modified
recently enough that it might not be able to produce accurate
results.
This is similar to the Oracle feature, and we use the same SQLSTATE
and error message for compatibility.
This patch is a no-op patch which is intended to reduce the chances
of failures of omission once the functional part of the "snapshot
too old" patch goes in. It adds parameters for snapshot, relation,
and an enum to specify whether the snapshot age check needs to be
done for the page at this point. This initial patch passes NULL
for the first two new parameters and BGP_NO_SNAPSHOT_TEST for the
third. The follow-on patch will change the places where the test
needs to be made.
These parameters are available for SSPI authentication only, to make
it possible to make it behave more like "normal gssapi", while
making it possible to maintain compatibility.
compat_realm is on by default, but can be turned off to make the
authentication use the full Kerberos realm instead of the NetBIOS name.
upn_username is off by default, and can be turned on to return the users
Kerberos UPN rather than the SAM-compatible name (a user in Active
Directory can have both a legacy SAM-compatible username and a new
Kerberos one. Normally they are the same, but not always)

In cases where joins use multiple columns we currently assess each join

This patch adds use of FK information for the first time into the

plan estimates will be drastically improved. Cases with multiple FKs
are handled, though partial matches are ignored currently.
Net effect is substantial performance improvements for joins in many
common cases. Additional planning time is isolated to cases that are
currently performing poorly, measured at 0.08 - 0.15 ms.
Please watch for planner performance regressions; circumstances seem
unlikely but the law of unintended consequences may apply somewhen.

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.
This introduces a new dependency type which marks an object as depending
on an extension, such that if the extension is dropped, the object
automatically goes away; and also, if the database is dumped, the object
is included in the dump output. Currently the grammar supports this for
indexes, triggers, materialized views and functions only, although the
utility code is generic so adding support for more object types is a
matter of touching the parser rules only.

Previously non-exclusive backups had to be done using the replication protocol
and pg_basebackup. With this commit it's now possible to make them using
pg_start_backup/pg_stop_backup as well, as long as the backup program can
maintain a persistent connection to the database.
Doing this, backup_label and tablespace_map are returned as results from
pg_stop_backup() instead of being written to the data directory. This makes
the server safe from a crash during an ongoing backup, which can be a problem
with exclusive backups.
The old syntax of the functions remain and work exactly as before, but since the
new syntax is safer this should eventually be deprecated and removed.
Only reference documentation is included. The main section on backup still needs
