ReadRecord's habit of using both direct references to tmpRecPtr and
references to *RecPtr (which is pointing at tmpRecPtr) triggers an
optimization bug in gcc 4.6.0, which apparently has forgotten about
aliasing rules. Avoid the compiler bug, and make the code more readable
to boot, by getting rid of the direct references. Improve the comments
while at it.
Back-patch to all supported versions, in case they get built with 4.6.0.

just check that it's not running and PANIC if it was, but that can rightfully
happen if recovery stops at recovery target.

crash recovery, and throw an error if not. hubert depesz lubaczewski pointed
out that that situation also happens in the crash recovery following a
system crash that happens during an online backup.
We might want to do something smarter in 9.1, like put the check back for
backups taken with pg_basebackup, but that's for another patch.

archive recovery.
It's possible to restore an online backup without recovery.conf, by simply
copying all the necessary WAL files to pg_xlog. "pg_basebackup -x" does that
too. That's the use case where this cross-check is useful.
Backpatch to 9.0. We used to do this in earlier versins, but in 9.0 the code
was inadvertently changed so that the check is only performed after archive
recovery.

Startup process waited for cleanup lock but when hot_standby = off
the pid was not registered, so that the bgwriter would not wake
the waiting process as intended.

an old transaction running in the master, and a lot of transactions have
started and finished since, and a WAL-record is written in the gap between
the creating the running-xacts snapshot and WAL-logging it, recovery will fail
with "too many KnownAssignedXids" error. This bug was reported by
Joachim Wieland on Nov 19th.
In the same scenario, when fewer transactions have started so that all the
xids fit in KnownAssignedXids despite the first bug, a more serious bug
arises. We incorrectly initialize the clog code with the oldest still running
transaction, and when we see the WAL record belonging to a transaction with
an XID larger than one that committed already before the checkpoint we're
recovering from, we zero the clog page containing the already committed
transaction, leading to data loss.
In hindsight, trying to track xids in the known-assigned-xids array before
seeing the running-xacts record was too complicated. To fix that, hold
XidGenLock while the running-xacts snapshot is taken and WAL-logged. That
ensures that no transaction can begin or end in that gap, so that in recvoery
we know that the snapshot contains all transactions running at that point in
WAL.

rather than 0/0, so that we can safely use 0/0 as an invalid value. This is a
more future-proof fix for the corner-case bug in streaming replication that
was fixed yesterday. We had a similar corner-case bug with log/seg 0/0 back in
February as well. Avoiding 0/0 as a valid value should prevent bugs like that
in the future. Per Tom Lane's idea.
Back-patch to 9.0. Since this only affects bootstrapping, it makes no
difference to existing installations. We don't need to worry about the
bug in existing installations, because if you've managed to get past the
initial base backup already, you won't hit the bug in the future either.

streaming replication. We used log/seg 0/0 to indicate that no WAL segments
have been removed since startup, but 0/0 is a valid value for the very first
WAL segment after initdb. To make that disambiguous, store
(latest removed WAL segment + 1) in the global variable.
Per report from Matt Chesler, also reproduced by Greg Smith.

that WAL file containing the checkpoint redo-location can be found. This
avoids making the cluster irrecoverable if the redo location is in an earlie
WAL file than the checkpoint record.

outside a transaction.
This repairs brain fade in my patch of 2009-08-30: the reason we had been
storing oldest-database name, not OID, in ShmemVariableCache was of course
to avoid having to do a catalog lookup at times when it might be unsafe.
This error explains why Aleksandr Dushein is having trouble getting out of
an XID wraparound state in bug #5718, though not how he got into that state
in the first place. I suspect pg_upgrade is at fault there.

Since the only purpose of WAL-loggin SharedInvalidationMessages is to support
Hot Standby operation, they needn't be included when wal_level < hot_standby.

idea from the start since the variable is only meant to track commit/abort
events. This patch reverts the logic around the variable to what it was in
8.4, except that the value is now kept in shared memory rather than a static
variable, so that it can be reported correctly by CreateRestartPoint (which is
executed in the bgwriter).

max_standby_streaming_delay, and revise the implementation to avoid assuming
that timestamps found in WAL records can meaningfully be compared to clock
time on the standby server. Instead, the delay limits are compared to the
elapsed time since we last obtained a new WAL segment from archive or since
we were last "caught up" to WAL data arriving via streaming replication.
This avoids problems with clock skew between primary and standby, as well
as other corner cases that the original coding would misbehave in, such
as the primary server having significant idle time between transactions.
Per my complaint some time ago and considerable ensuing discussion.
Do some desultory editing on the hot standby documentation, too.

has already been applied on the slave, resulting in the slave being out of
sync and soon corrupt. Per recent discussion and an example from Robert Haas.

and retry. If the record is genuinely corrupt in the master database,
there's little hope of recovering, but it's better than simply retrying
to apply the corrupt WAL record in a tight loop without even trying to
retransmit it, which is what we used to do.

checkpoint_timeout to trigger restartpoints. We used to deliberately only
do time-based restartpoints, because if checkpoint_segments is small we
would spend time doing restartpoints more often than really necessary.
But now that restartpoints are done in bgwriter, they're not as
disruptive as they used to be. Secondly, because streaming replication
stores the streamed WAL files in pg_xlog, we want to clean it up more
often to avoid running out of disk space when checkpoint_timeout is large
and checkpoint_segments small.

the current one. Not doing this would leave the walwriter with a handle to a
deleted file if there was nothing for it to do for a long period of time,
preventing the file from being completely removed.
Reported by Tollef Fog Heen, and thanks to Heikki for some hand-holding with
the patch.

When referring to postgresql.conf syntax, then it's without quotes
(wal_level=archive); in narrative it's with double quotes. But never
single quotes.

so simply leads to data waiting in wal_buffers which then causes
later commits to potentially do emergency writes and for all forms
of replication to be potentially delayed without need or benefit.

of requirements and documentation on LogStandbySnapshot(). Fixes
two minor bugs reported by Tom Lane that would lead to an incorrect
snapshot after transaction wraparound. Also fix two other problems
discovered that would give incorrect snapshots in certain cases.
ProcArrayApplyRecoveryInfo() substantially rewritten. Some minor
refactoring of xact_redo_apply() and ExpireTreeKnownAssignedTransactionIds().

MaxStandbyDelay. Use the GUC units mechanism for the value, and choose more
appropriate timestamp functions for performing tests with it. Make the
ps_activity manipulation in ResolveRecoveryConflictWithVirtualXIDs have
behavior similar to ps_activity code elsewhere, notably not updating the
display when update_process_title is off and not truncating the display
contents at an arbitrarily-chosen length. Improve the docs to be explicit
about what MaxStandbyDelay actually measures, viz the difference between
primary and standby servers' clocks, and the possible hazards if their clocks
aren't in sync.

scenarios. Per discussion.

confusion with streaming-replication settings. Also, change its default
value to "off", because of concern about executing new and poorly-tested

In passing do some minor editing of related documentation.

rather than returning NULL for some-but-not-all failures as they used to.
Remove now-redundant tests for NULL from call sites.
We had to do something about this because many call sites were failing to
check for NULL; and changing it like this seems a lot more useful and
mistake-proof than adding checks to the call sites without them.

archival or hot standby should be WAL-logged, instead of deducing that from
other options like archive_mode. This replaces recovery_connections GUC in
the primary, where it now has no effect, but it's still used in the standby
to enable/disable hot standby.
Remove the WAL-logging of "unlogged operations", like creating an index
without WAL-logging and fsyncing it at the end. Instead, we keep a copy of
the wal_mode setting and the settings that affect how much shared memory a
hot standby server needs to track master transactions (max_connections,
max_prepared_xacts, max_locks_per_xact) in pg_control. Whenever the settings
change, at server restart, write a WAL record noting the new settings and
update pg_control. This allows us to notice the change in those settings in
the standby at the right moment, they used to be included in checkpoint
records, but that meant that a changed value was not reflected in the
standby until the first checkpoint after the change.
Bump PG_CONTROL_VERSION and XLOG_PAGE_MAGIC. Whack XLOG_PAGE_MAGIC back to
the sequence it used to follow, before hot standby and subsequent patches
changed it to 0x9003.
