Fujii Masao 614b7f18b3 Fix "invalid spinlock number: 0" error in pg_stat_wal_receiver.
Commit 2c8dd05d6c added the atomic variable writtenUpto into
walreceiver's shared memory information. It's initialized only
when walreceiver started up but could be read via pg_stat_wal_receiver
view anytime, i.e., even before it's initialized. In the server built
with --disable-atomics and --disable-spinlocks, this uninitialized
atomic variable read could cause "invalid spinlock number: 0" error.

This commit changed writtenUpto so that it's initialized at
the postmaster startup, to avoid the uninitialized variable read
via pg_stat_wal_receiver and fix the error.

Also this commit moved the read of writtenUpto after the release
of spinlock protecting walreceiver's shared variables. This is
necessary to prevent new spinlock from being taken by atomic
variable read while holding another spinlock, and to shorten
the spinlock duration. This change leads writtenUpto not to be
consistent with the other walreceiver's shared variables protected
by a spinlock. But this is OK because writtenUpto should not be
used for data integrity checks.

Back-patch to v13 where commit 2c8dd05d6c introduced the bug.

PostgreSQL tests
================

This directory contains a variety of test infrastructure as well as some of the
tests in PostgreSQL. Not all tests are here -- in particular, there are more in
individual contrib/ modules and in src/bin.

Not all these tests get run by "make check". Check src/test/Makefile to see
which tests get run automatically.

authentication/
  Tests for authentication (but see also below)

examples/
  Demonstration programs for libpq that double as regression tests via
  "make check"

isolation/
  Tests for concurrent behavior at the SQL level

kerberos/
  Tests for Kerberos/GSSAPI authentication and encryption

ldap/
  Tests for LDAP-based authentication

locale/
  Sanity checks for locale data, encodings, etc

mb/
  Tests for multibyte encoding (UTF-8) support

modules/
  Extensions used only or mainly for test purposes, generally not suitable
  for installing in production databases

perl/
  Infrastructure for Perl-based TAP tests

recovery/
  Test suite for recovery and replication

regress/
  PostgreSQL's main regression test suite, pg_regress

ssl/
  Tests to exercise and verify SSL certificate handling

subscription/
  Tests for logical replication
