2PC state info held in shmem at PREPARE, then cleaned at COMMIT PREPARED/ABORT PREPARED,
avoiding writing/fsyncing any state information to disk in the normal path, greatly enhancing replay speed.
Prepared transactions that live past one checkpoint redo horizon will be written to disk as now.
Similar conceptually to 978b2f65aa1262eb4ecbf8b3785cb1b9cf4db78e and building upon
the infrastructure created by that commit.

We were assigning values near 255 through "char *" pointers. On machines
where char is signed, that's not entirely kosher, and it's reasonable
for compilers to warn about it.
A better solution would be to change the pointer type to "unsigned char *",
but that would be vastly more invasive. For the moment, let's just apply
this simple backpatchable solution.

Assert-enabled build crashes but without asserts it works by wrong way:
it may not reset forcing full page write and preventing from starting
exclusive backup with the same name as cancelled.
Patch replaces pair of booleans
nonexclusive_backup_running/exclusive_backup_running to single enum to
correctly describe backup state.

This provides infrastructure for looking up arbitrary, user-supplied
XIDs without a risk of scary-looking failures from within the clog
module. Normally, the oldest XID that can be safely looked up in CLOG
is the same as the oldest XID that can reused without causing
wraparound, and the latter is already tracked. However, while
truncation is in progress, the values are different, so we must
keep track of them separately.

Adds write_lag, flush_lag and replay_lag cols to pg_stat_replication.
Implements a lag tracker module that reports the lag times based upon
measurements of the time taken for recent WAL to be written, flushed and
replayed and for the sender to hear about it. These times
represent the commit lag that was (or would have been) introduced by each
synchronous commit level, if the remote server was configured as a
synchronous standby. For an asynchronous standby, the replay_lag column
approximates the delay before recent transactions became visible to queries.
If the standby server has entirely caught up with the sending server and
there is no more WAL activity, the most recently measured lag times will
continue to be displayed for a short time and then show NULL.
Physical replication lag tracking is automatic. Logical replication tracking
is possible but is the responsibility of the logical decoding plugin.
Tracking is a private module operating within each walsender individually,
with values reported to shared memory. Module not used outside of walsender.
Design and code is good enough now to commit - kudos to the author.
In many ways a difficult topic, with important and subtle behaviour so this
shoudl be expected to generate discussion and multiple open items: Test now!

Internally, we have supported the option to either wait for all of the
WAL associated with a backup to be archived, or to return immediately.
This option is useful to users of pg_stop_backup() as well, when they
are reading the stop backup record position and checking that the WAL
they need has been archived independently.
This patch adds an additional, optional, argument to pg_stop_backup()
which allows the user to indicate if they wish to wait for the WAL to be
archived or not. The default matches current behavior, which is to
wait.

The original messaging design, introduced in commit 068cfadf9, seems too
chatty now that some time has elapsed since the bug fix; most installations
will be in good shape and don't really need a reminder about this on every
postmaster start.
Hence, arrange to suppress the "wraparound protections are now enabled"
message during startup (specifically, during the TrimMultiXact() call).
The message will still appear if protection becomes effective at some
later point.

This introduces a new generic SASL authentication method, similar to the
GSS and SSPI methods. The server first tells the client which SASL
authentication mechanism to use, and then the mechanism-specific SASL
messages are exchanged in AuthenticationSASLcontinue and PasswordMessage
messages. Only SCRAM-SHA-256 is supported at the moment, but this allows
adding more SASL mechanisms in the future, without changing the overall
protocol.
Support for channel binding, aka SCRAM-SHA-256-PLUS is left for later.
The SASLPrep algorithm, for pre-processing the password, is not yet
implemented. That could cause trouble, if you use a password with
non-ASCII characters, and a client library that does implement SASLprep.
That will hopefully be added later.
Authorization identities, as specified in the SCRAM-SHA-256 specification,
are ignored. SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION provides more or less the same
functionality, anyway.
If a user doesn't exist, perform a "mock" authentication, by constructing
an authentic-looking challenge on the fly. The challenge is derived from
a new system-wide random value, "mock authentication nonce", which is
created at initdb, and stored in the control file. We go through these
motions, in order to not give away the information on whether the user
exists, to unauthenticated users.
Bumps PG_CONTROL_VERSION, because of the new field in control file.

Twiddle the replication-related code so that its timestamp variables
are declared TimestampTz, rather than the uninformative "int64" that
was previously used for meant-to-be-always-integer timestamps.
This resolves the int64-vs-TimestampTz declaration inconsistencies
introduced by commit 7c030783a, though in the opposite direction to
what was originally suggested.
This required including datatype/timestamp.h in a couple more places
than before. I decided it would be a good idea to slim down that
header by not having it pull in <float.h> etc, as those headers are
no longer at all relevant to its purpose. Unsurprisingly, a small number
of .c files turn out to have been depending on those inclusions, so add
them back in the .c files as needed.

We don't need it any more.
pg_controldata continues to report that date/time type storage is
"64-bit integers", but that's now a hard-wired behavior not something
it sees in the data. This avoids breaking pg_upgrade, and perhaps other
utilities that inspect pg_control this way. Ditto for pg_resetwal.
I chose to remove the "bigint_timestamps" output column of
pg_control_init(), though, as that function hasn't been around long
and probably doesn't have ossified users.

Commit f82ec32ac30ae7e3ec7c84067192535b2ff8ec0e renamed the pg_xlog
directory to pg_wal. To make things consistent, and because "xlog" is
terrible terminology for either "transaction log" or "write-ahead log"
rename all SQL-callable functions that contain "xlog" in the name to
instead contain "wal". (Note that this may pose an upgrade hazard for
some users.)
Similarly, rename the xlog_position argument of the functions that
create slots to be called wal_position.

When the new GUC wal_consistency_checking is set to a non-empty value,
it triggers recording of additional full-page images, which are
compared on the standby against the results of applying the WAL record
(without regard to those full-page images). Allowable differences
such as hints are masked out, and the resulting pages are compared;
any difference results in a FATAL error on the standby.

Previously multiple sessions could execute pg_start_backup() and
pg_stop_backup() to start and stop an exclusive backup at the same time.
This could trigger the assertion failure of
"FailedAssertion("!(XLogCtl->Insert.exclusiveBackup)".
This happend because, even while pg_start_backup() was starting
an exclusive backup, other session could run pg_stop_backup()
concurrently and mark the backup as not-in-progress unconditionally.
This patch introduces ExclusiveBackupState indicating the state of
an exclusive backup. This state is used to ensure that there is only
one session running pg_start_backup() or pg_stop_backup() at
the same time, to avoid the assertion failure.
Back-patch to all supported versions.

Some background activity (like checkpoints, archive timeout, standby
snapshots) is not supposed to happen on an idle system. Unfortunately
so far it was not easy to determine when a system is idle, which
defeated some of the attempts to avoid redundant activity on an idle
system.
To make that easier, allow to make individual WAL insertions as not
being "important". By checking whether any important activity happened
since the last time an activity was performed, it now is easy to check
whether some action needs to be repeated.
Use the new facility for checkpoints, archive timeout and standby
snapshots.
The lack of a facility causes some issues in older releases, but in my
opinion the consequences (superflous checkpoints / archived segments)
aren't grave enough to warrant backpatching.

array_base and array_stride were added so that we could identify the
offset of an LWLock within a tranche, but this facility is only very
marginally used apart from the main tranche. So, give every lock in
the main tranche its own tranche ID and get rid of array_base,
array_stride, and all that's attached. For debugging facilities
(Trace_lwlocks and LWLOCK_STATS) print the pointer address of the
LWLock using %p instead of the offset. This is arguably more useful,
and certainly a lot cheaper. Drop the offset-within-tranche from
the information reported to dtrace and from one can't-happen message
inside lwlock.c.
The main user-visible impact of this change is that pg_stat_activity
will now report all waits for LWLocks as "LWLock" rather than
reporting some as "LWLockTranche" and others as "LWLockNamed".
The main motivation for this change is that the need to specify an
array_base and an array_stride is awkward for parallel query. There
is only a very limited supply of tranche IDs so we can't just keep
allocating new ones, and if we try to use the same tranche IDs every
time then we run into trouble when multiple parallel contexts are
use simultaneously. So if we didn't get rid of this mechanism we'd
have to make it even more complicated. By simplifying it in this
way, we instead reduce the size of the generated code for lwlock.c
by about 5%.

Instead of confusingly stating platform-dependent defaults for these
parameters in the comments in postgresql.conf.sample (with the main
entry being a lie on Linux), teach initdb to install the correct
platform-dependent value in postgresql.conf, similarly to the way
we handle other platform-dependent defaults. This won't do anything
for existing 9.6 installations, but since it's effectively only a
documentation improvement, that seems OK.
Since this requires initdb to have access to the default values,
move the #define's for those to pg_config_manual.h; the original
placement in bufmgr.h is unworkable because that file can't be
included by frontend programs.
Adjust the default value for wal_writer_flush_after so that it is 1MB
regardless of XLOG_BLCKSZ, conforming to what is stated in both the
SGML docs and postgresql.conf. (We could alternatively make it scale
with XLOG_BLCKSZ, but I'm not sure I see the point.)

Generally, WAL resource managers are only supposed to examine the
top 4 bits of a WAL record's xl_info; the rest are reserved for
the WAL mechanism itself. A few places were not consistent about
doing this with respect to XLOG_CHECKPOINT and XLOG_SWITCH records.
There's no bug currently, since no additional bits ever get set in
these specific record types, but that might not be true forever.
Let's follow the generic coding rule here too.

If a restartpoint flushed no dirty buffers, it could fail to update
the minimum recovery point, leading to a minimum recovery point prior
to the starting REDO location. perform_base_backup() would interpret
that as meaning that no WAL files at all needed to be included in the
backup, failing an internal sanity check. To fix, have restartpoints
always update the minimum recovery point to just after the checkpoint
record itself, so that the file (or files) containing the checkpoint
record will always be included in the backup.

"xlog" is not a particularly clear abbreviation for "write-ahead log",
and it sometimes confuses users into believe that the contents of the
"pg_xlog" directory are not critical data, leading to unpleasant
consequences. So, rename the directory to "pg_wal".
This patch modifies pg_upgrade and pg_basebackup to understand both
the old and new directory layouts; the former is necessary given the
purpose of the tool, while the latter merely avoids an unnecessary
backward-compatibility break.
We may wish to consider renaming other programs, switches, and
functions which still use the old "xlog" naming to also refer to
"wal". However, that's still under discussion, so let's do just this
much for now.

WaitLatch, WaitLatchOrSocket, and WaitEventSetWait now taken an
additional wait_event_info parameter; legal values are defined in
pgstat.h. This makes it possible to uniquely identify every point in
the core code where we are waiting for a latch; extensions can pass
WAIT_EXTENSION.
Because latches were the major wait primitive not previously covered
by this patch, it is now possible to see information in
pg_stat_activity on a large number of important wait events not
previously addressed, such as ClientRead, ClientWrite, and SyncRep.
Unfortunately, many of the wait events added by this patch will fail
to appear in pg_stat_activity because they're only used in background
processes which don't currently appear in pg_stat_activity. We should
fix this either by creating a separate view for such information, or
else by deciding to include them in pg_stat_activity after all.

Move the updating of the control file to "in production" status until
the point where WAL writes are allowed. Before, there could be a
significant gap between the control file update and write transactions
actually being allowed. This makes it more reliable to use the control

This can't really work because standby_mode expects there to be more
WAL arriving, which there will not ever be because there's no WAL
receiver process to fetch it. Moreover, if standby_mode is on then
hot standby might also be turned on, causing even more strangeness
because that expects read-only sessions to be executing in parallel.
Bernd Helmle reported a case where btree_xlog_delete_get_latestRemovedXid

best to prevent getting anywhere near this state in the first place.

I found that half a dozen (nearly 5%) of our AllocSetContextCreate calls
had typos in the context-sizing parameters. While none of these led to
especially significant problems, they did create minor inefficiencies,
and it's now clear that expecting people to copy-and-paste those calls
accurately is not a great idea. Let's reduce the risk of future errors
by introducing single macros that encapsulate the common use-cases.
Three such macros are enough to cover all but two special-purpose contexts;
those two calls can be left as-is, I think.
While this patch doesn't in itself improve matters for third-party
extensions, it doesn't break anything for them either, and they can
gradually adopt the simplified notation over time.
In passing, change TopMemoryContext to use the default allocation
parameters. Formerly it could only be extended 8K at a time. That was
probably reasonable when this code was written; but nowadays we create
many more contexts than we did then, so that it's not unusual to have a
couple hundred K in TopMemoryContext, even without considering various
dubious code that sticks other things there. There seems no good reason
not to let it use growing blocks like most other contexts.
Back-patch to 9.6, mostly because that's still close enough to HEAD that
it's easy to do so, and keeping the branches in sync can be expected to
avoid some future back-patching pain. The bugs fixed by these changes
don't seem to be significant enough to justify fixing them further back.

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
to be rewritten to cover this, but since that is already scheduled for a separate
large rewrite, it's not included in this patch.

This makes it easier to identify the source of a recovery problem
in case of a bug or data corruption.

In this mode, the master waits for the transaction to be applied on
the remote side, not just written to disk. That means that you can
count on a transaction started on the standby to see all commits
previously acknowledged by the master.
To make this work, the standby sends a reply after replaying each
commit record generated with synchronous_commit >= 'remote_apply'.
This introduces a small inefficiency: the extra replies will be sent
even by standbys that aren't the current synchronous standby. But
previously-existing synchronous_commit levels make no attempt at all
to optimize which replies are sent based on what the primary cares
about, so this is no worse, and at least avoids any extra replies for
people not using the feature at all.

tweaks by me.

The distinction between "archive" and "hot_standby" existed only because
at the time "hot_standby" was added, there was some uncertainty about
stability. This is now a long time ago. We would like to move forward
with simplifying the replication configuration, but this distinction is
in the way, because a primary server cannot tell (without asking a
standby or predicting the future) which one of these would be the
appropriate level.
Pick a new name for the combined setting to make it clearer that it
covers all (non-logical) backup and replication uses. The old values
are still accepted but are converted internally.

Renaming a file using rename(2) is not guaranteed to be durable in face
of crashes. Use the previously added durable_rename()/durable_link_or_rename()
in various places where we previously just renamed files.
Most of the changed call sites are arguably not critical, but it seems
better to err on the side of too much durability. The most prominent
known case where the previously missing fsyncs could cause data loss is
crashes at the end of a checkpoint. After the actual checkpoint has been
performed, old WAL files are recycled. When they're filled, their
contents are fdatasynced, but we did not fsync the containing
directory. An OS/hardware crash in an unfortunate moment could then end
up leaving that file with its old name, but new content; WAL replay
would thus not replay it.

Previously recovery_min_apply_delay was applied even before recovery
had reached consistency. This could cause us to wait a long time
unexpectedly for read-only connections to be allowed. It's problematic
because the standby was useless during that wait time.
This patch changes recovery_min_apply_delay so that it's applied once
the database has reached the consistent state. That is, even if the delay
is set, the standby tries to replay WAL records as fast as possible until
it has reached consistency.
