Tom Lane	01df147634	Allow selecting the git revision to be packaged by "make dist". Commit `619bc23a1` changed "make dist" to invoke "git archive", but hard-wired the call to specify that the HEAD revision should be packaged. Our tarball building process needs to be able to specify which git commit to package (notably, for packaging back branches). While we could make that work with some hackery to operate in detached-HEAD state, it's a lot nicer just to expose git archive's ability to specify what to package. Hence, invent a new make variable PG_GIT_REVISION. This is undocumented, but so is "make dist". Also make corresponding changes in the meson scripts. We have no near-term intention of using that for package building, but it will likely happen eventually, so stay prepared. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/3552543.1713909947@sss.pgh.pa.us	1 year ago
Michael Paquier	d86d20f0ba	Add backend support for injection points Injection points are a new facility that makes possible for developers to run custom code in pre-defined code paths. Its goal is to provide ways to design and run advanced tests, for cases like: - Race conditions, where processes need to do actions in a controlled ordered manner. - Forcing a state, like an ERROR, FATAL or even PANIC for OOM, to force recovery, etc. - Arbitrary sleeps. This implements some basics, and there are plans to extend it more in the future depending on what's required. Hence, this commit adds a set of routines in the backend that allows developers to attach, detach and run injection points: - A code path calling an injection point can be declared with the macro INJECTION_POINT(name). - InjectionPointAttach() and InjectionPointDetach() to respectively attach and detach a callback to/from an injection point. An injection point name is registered in a shmem hash table with a library name and a function name, which will be used to load the callback attached to an injection point when its code path is run. Injection point names are just strings, so as an injection point can be declared and run by out-of-core extensions and modules, with callbacks defined in external libraries. This facility is hidden behind a dedicated switch for ./configure and meson, disabled by default. Note that backends use a local cache to store callbacks already loaded, cleaning up their cache if a callback has found to be removed on a best-effort basis. This could be refined further but any tests but what we have here was fine with the tests I've written while implementing these backend APIs.

Peter Eisentraut	6a3002715e	meson: Make auto the default of the ssl option The 'ssl' option is of type 'combo', but we add a choice 'auto' that simulates the behavior of a feature option. This way, openssl is used automatically by default if present, but we retain the ability to potentially select another ssl library.

Andres Freund	d3b111e320	Add option to specify segment size in blocks The tests don't have much coverage of segment related code, as we don't create large enough tables. To make it easier to test these paths, add a new option specifying the segment size in blocks. Set the new option to 6 blocks in one of the CI tasks. Smaller numbers currently fail one of the tests, for understandable reasons. While at it, fix some segment size related issues in the meson build.

Andres Freund	5bdd0cfb91	meson: Add basic PGXS compatibility Generate a Makefile.global that's complete enough for PGXS to work for some extensions. It is likely that this compatibility layer will not suffice for every extension and not all platforms - we can expand it over time. This allows extensions to use a single buildsystem across all the supported postgres versions. Once all supported PG versions support meson, we can remove the compatibility layer.

Peter Eisentraut	c8e4030d1b	Make finding openssl program a configure or meson option Various test suites use the "openssl" program as part of their setup. There isn't a way to override which openssl program is to be used, other than by fiddling with the path, perhaps. This has gotten increasingly problematic because different versions of openssl have different capabilities and do different things by default. This patch checks for an openssl binary in configure and meson setup, with appropriate ways to override it. This is similar to how "lz4" and "zstd" are handled, for example. The meson build system actually already did this, but the result was only used in some places. This is now applied more uniformly.

Andres Freund	e6927270cd	meson: Add initial version of meson based build system Autoconf is showing its age, fewer and fewer contributors know how to wrangle it. Recursive make has a lot of hard to resolve dependency issues and slow incremental rebuilds. Our home-grown MSVC build system is hard to maintain for developers not using Windows and runs tests serially. While these and other issues could individually be addressed with incremental improvements, together they seem best addressed by moving to a more modern build system. After evaluating different build system choices, we chose to use meson, to a good degree based on the adoption by other open source projects. We decided that it's more realistic to commit a relatively early version of the new build system and mature it in tree. This commit adds an initial version of a meson based build system. It supports building postgres on at least AIX, FreeBSD, Linux, macOS, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris and Windows (however only gcc is supported on aix, solaris). For Windows/MSVC postgres can now be built with ninja (faster, particularly for incremental builds) and msbuild (supporting the visual studio GUI, but building slower). Several aspects (e.g. Windows rc file generation, PGXS compatibility, LLVM bitcode generation, documentation adjustments) are done in subsequent commits requiring further review. Other aspects (e.g. not installing test-only extensions) are not yet addressed. When building on Windows with msbuild, builds are slower when using a visual studio version older than 2019, because those versions do not support MultiToolTask, required by meson for intra-target parallelism. The plan is to remove the MSVC specific build system in src/tools/msvc soon after reaching feature parity. However, we're not planning to remove the autoconf/make build system in the near future. Likely we're going to keep at least the parts required for PGXS to keep working around until all supported versions build with meson.
