Now that the test servers are initialized twice in each .pl script,
the single END block is not enough to stop them. Add a new clean_rewind_test
function that is called at the end of each test.

After the WAL format changes, the calculation of the size of a checkpoint
record became incorrect. Instead of trying to fix the math, check that the
previous record, i.e. the xl_prev value that we'd write for the next
record, matches the last checkpoint's redo pointer. That way it's not
dependent on the size of the checkpoint record at all.
The old logic was actually slightly wrong all along: if the previous
checkpoint record crossed a page boundary, the page headers threw off the
record size calculation, and the checkpoint was not skipped. The new
checkpoint would not cross a page boundary, so this only resulted in at
most one extra checkpoint after the system became idle. The new logic fixes
that. (It's not worth fixing in backbranches).
However, it makes some sense to try to keep the latest checkpoint contained
fully in a page, or at least in a single WAL segment, just on general
robustness grounds. If something goes awfully wrong, it's more likely that
you can recover the latest WAL segment, than the last two WAL segments. So
I added an extra check that the checkpoint is not skipped if the previous
checkpoint crossed a WAL segment.

Previously, these functions were created in a schema "binary_upgrade",
which was deleted after pg_upgrade was finished. Because we don't want
to keep that schema around permanently, move them to pg_catalog but
rename them with a binary_upgrade_... prefix.
The provided functions are only small wrappers around global variables
that were added specifically for pg_upgrade use, so keeping the module
separate does not create any modularity.
The functions still check that they are only called in binary upgrade
mode, so it is not possible to call these during normal operation.

Eliminate the separate 'len' variable from the loops, and also use the 4
byte instruction. This shaves off a few more cycles. Even though this
routine that uses the special SSE 4.2 instructions is much faster than a
generic routine, it's still a hot spot, so let's make it as fast as
possible.
Change the configure test to not test _mm_crc32_u64. That variant is only
available in the 64-bit x86-64 architecture, not in 32-bit x86. Modify
pg_comp_crc32c_sse42 so that it only uses _mm_crc32_u64 on x86-64. With
these changes, the SSE accelerated CRC-32C implementation can also be used
on 32-bit x86 systems.
This also fixes the 32-bit MSVC build.
On gcc and clang, the _mm_crc32_u8 and _mm_crc32_u64 intrinsics are not
defined at all, when not building with -msse4.2. But on icc, they are.
So we cannot assume that if those intrinsics are defined, we can always use
them safely, we might still need the runtime check.
To fix, check if the __SSE_4_2__ preprocessor symbol is defined. That's
supposed to be defined only when the compiler is targeting a processor that
has SSE 4.2 support.

I introduced this ancient typo in subtrans.c and later propagated it to
multixact.c. I fixed the latter in f741300c, but only back to 9.3;
backpatch to all supported branches for consistency.
Modern x86 and x86-64 processors with SSE 4.2 support have special
instructions, crc32b and crc32q, for calculating CRC-32C. They greatly
speed up CRC calculation.
Whether the instructions can be used or not depends on the compiler and the
target architecture. If generation of SSE 4.2 instructions is allowed for
the target (-msse4.2 flag on gcc and clang), use them. If they are not
allowed by default, but the compiler supports the -msse4.2 flag to enable
them, compile just the CRC-32C function with -msse4.2 flag, and check at
runtime whether the processor we're running on supports it. If it doesn't,
fall back to the slicing-by-8 algorithm. (With the common defaults on
current operating systems, the runtime-check variant is what you get in
practice.)

Now that we use CRC-32C in WAL and the control file, the "traditional" and
"legacy" CRC-32 variants are not used in any frontend programs anymore.
Move the code for those back from src/common to src/backend/utils/hash.
Also move the slicing-by-8 implementation (back) to src/port. This is in
preparation for next patch that will add another implementation that uses
Intel SSE 4.2 instructions to calculate CRC-32C, where available.
Should call just "pg_rewind", instead of "./pg_rewind". The tests are called
so that PATH contains the temporariy installation bin dir.

* Don't pass arguments to prove, since that's not supported on perl 5.8
which is the minimum version supported by the TAP tests. Refactor the
test files themselves to run the tests twice, in both local and remote mode.
* Use eq rather than == for string comparison. This thinko caused the remote
versions of the tests to never run.
* Add "use strict" and "use warnings", and fix warnings that that produced.
* Increase the delay after standby promotion, to make the tests more robust.
* In remote mode, the connection string to the promoted standby was
incorrect, leading to connection errors.
Patch by Michael Paquier, to address Peter Eisentraut's report.
After a timeline switch, we would leave behind recycled WAL segments that
are in the future, but on the old timeline. After promotion, and after they
become old enough to be recycled again, we would notice that they don't have
a .ready or .done file, create a .ready file for them, and archive them.
That's bogus, because the files contain garbage, recycled from an older
timeline (or prealloced as zeros). We shouldn't archive such files.
This could happen when we're following a timeline switch during replay, or
when we switch to new timeline at end-of-recovery.
To fix, whenever we switch to a new timeline, scan the data directory for
WAL segments on the old timeline, but with a higher segment number, and
remove them. Those don't belong to our timeline history, and are most
likely bogus recycled or preallocated files. They could also be valid files
that we streamed from the primary ahead of time, but in any case, they're
not needed to recover to the new timeline.
gettext was unhappy about the commit b216ad7 because it revealed
the problem that internationalized messages may contain '\r' escape
sequence in pg_rewind. This commit moves '\r' to a separate printf() call.

Locking and updating the same tuple repeatedly led to some strange
multixacts being created which had several subtransactions of the same
parent transaction holding locks of the same strength. However,
once a subxact of the current transaction holds a lock of a given
strength, it's not necessary to acquire the same lock again. This made
some coding patterns much slower than required.
The fix is twofold. First we change HeapTupleSatisfiesUpdate to return
HeapTupleBeingUpdated for the case where the current transaction is
already a single-xid locker for the given tuple; it used to return
HeapTupleMayBeUpdated for that case. The new logic is simpler, and the
change to pgrowlocks is a testament to that: previously we needed to
check for the single-xid locker separately in a very ugly way. That
test is simpler now.
As fallout from the HTSU change, some of its callers need to be amended
so that tuple-locked-by-own-transaction is taken into account in the
BeingUpdated case rather than the MayBeUpdated case. For many of them
there is no difference; but heap_delete() and heap_update now check
explicitely and do not grab tuple lock in that case.
The HTSU change also means that routine MultiXactHasRunningRemoteMembers
introduced in commit 11ac4c73cb is no longer necessary and can be
removed; the case that used to require it is now handled naturally as
result of the changes to heap_delete and heap_update.
The second part of the fix to the performance issue is to adjust
heap_lock_tuple to avoid the slowness:
1. Previously we checked for the case that our own transaction already
held a strong enough lock and returned MayBeUpdated, but only in the
multixact case. Now we do it for the plain Xid case as well, which
saves having to LockTuple.
2. If the current transaction is the only locker of the tuple (but with
a lock not as strong as what we need; otherwise it would have been
caught in the check mentioned above), we can skip sleeping on the
multixact, and instead go straight to create an updated multixact with
the additional lock strength.
3. Most importantly, make sure that both the single-xid-locker case and
the multixact-locker case optimization are applied always. We do this
by checking both in a single place, rather than them appearing in two
separate portions of the routine -- something that is made possible by
the HeapTupleSatisfiesUpdate API change. Previously we would only check
for the single-xid case when HTSU returned MayBeUpdated, and only
checked for the multixact case when HTSU returned BeingUpdated. This
was at odds with what HTSU actually returned in one case: if our own
transaction was locker in a multixact, it returned MayBeUpdated, so the
optimization never applied. This is what led to the large multixacts in
the first place.

FORCE option has been marked "obsolete" since very old version 7.4
but existed for backwards compatibility. Per discussion on pgsql-hackers,
we concluded that it's no longer worth keeping supporting the option.
When certain event-trigger-only functions are called when not in the
wrong context, they were reporting the "feature not supported" SQLSTATE,
which is somewhat misleading. Create a new custom error code for such
uses instead.
Not backpatched since it may be seen as an undesirable behavioral
change.

It was previously possible to have the launcher re-execute its main loop
before shutting down if some other signal was received or an error
occurred after getting SIGTERM, as reported by Qingqing Zhou.
While investigating, Tom Lane further noticed that if autovacuum had
been disabled in the config file, it would misbehave by trying to start
a new worker instead of bailing out immediately -- it would consider
itself as invoked in emergency mode.
Fix both problems by checking the shutdown flag in a few more places.
These problems have existed since autovacuum was introduced, so
backpatch all the way back.
This is consistent with what the new numeric suppor for abbreviated keys
now does, and seems much more convenient than having a separate compiler
define to control this debug output.

While gcc doesn't complain if you declare a function "static" and then
define it not-static, other compilers do; and in any case the code is
highly misleading this way. Add the missing "static" keywords to a
couple of recent patches. Per buildfarm member pademelon.
Commit a2e35b53 should have removed the variable declaration in the
inner block, but didn't. As a result, the returned address might end up
not being what was intended.
Don't allow pg_rewind to run as root on Unix platforms, as any new or
replaced files in the data directory would become owned by root. On Windows,
it can run under a user that has Administrator rights, but a restricted
token needs to be used. This is the same we do e.g. in pg_resetxlog.
Also, add missing set_pglocale_pgservice() call, to fix localization.

It now also reports temporary objects dropped that are local to the
backend. Previously we weren't reporting any temp objects because it
was deemed unnecessary; but as it turns out, it is necessary if we want
to keep close track of DDL command execution inside one session. Temp
objects are reported as living in schema pg_temp, which works because
such a schema-qualification always refers to the temp objects of the
current session.
This was already fixed in 0d906798f, but I failed to update the
array-formatted case. This is not backpatched, since this only affects
the code path introduced by commit a676201490.
Considering the number of cases in which "unused" command line arguments
are silently ignored by compilers, it's fairly astonishing that anybody
thought this warning was useful; it's certainly nothing but an annoyance
when building Postgres. One such case is that neither gcc nor clang
complain about unrecognized -Wno-foo switches, making it more difficult
to figure out whether the switch does anything than one could wish.
Back-patch to 9.3, which is as far back as the patch applies conveniently
(we'd have to back-patch PGAC_PROG_CC_VAR_OPT to go further, and it doesn't
seem worth that).
