If we call pg_ctl stop, the server might continue and thus
hold a log file for a short time after it has deleted its pid file,
(which is when pg_ctl will exit), and so a subsequent attempt to
open the log file might fail.
We therefore try to open it a few times, sleeping one second between
tries, to give the server time to exit.
This corrects an error that was observed on the buildfarm.
Backpatched to 9.2,
Call pg_dumpall using -f switch instead of redirection, to avoid
writing the output in text mode and generating spurious carriage
returns. Remove to carriage return ignoring hack introduced by
commit e442b0f0c6.
Backpatch to 9.2.
pg_upgrade opened the output from pg_dumpall in text mode and
wrote the split files in text mode. This caused unwanted eating
of intended carriage returns on input and production of spurious
carriage returns on output. To avoid this, open all these files
in binary mode. On non-Windows platforms, this change has no
effect.
Backpatch to 9.0. On 9.0 and 9.1, we also switch from redirecting
pg_dumpall's output to using pg_dumpall's -f switch, for the same
reason.
socket location. Also, prevent putting the socket in the current
directory for pre-9.1 servers in live check and non-live check mode,
because pre-9.1 pg_ctl -w can't handle it.
Backpatch to 9.2.
pg_upgrade produces a platform-specific script to remove the old
directory, but on Windows it has not been making sure that the
paths it writes as arguments for rmdir and del use the backslash
path separator, which will cause these scripts to fail.
The fix is backpatched to Release 9.0.
When starting either an old or new postmaster, force it to place its Unix
socket in the current directory. This makes it even harder for accidental
connections to occur during pg_upgrade, and also works around some
scenarios where the default socket location isn't usable. (For example,
if the default location is something other than "/tmp", it might not exist
during "make check".)
When checking an already-running old postmaster, find out its actual socket
directory location from postmaster.pid, if possible. This dodges problems
with an old postmaster having a configured location different from the
default built into pg_upgrade's libpq. We can't find that out if the old
postmaster is pre-9.1, so also document how to cope with such scenarios
manually.
In support of this, centralize handling of the connection-related command
line options passed to pg_upgrade's subsidiary programs, such as pg_dump.
This should make future changes easier.

The previous signature made it very easy to pass something other than
the printf-format specifier in the corresponding position, without any
warning from the compiler.
While at it, move some of the escaping, redirecting and quoting
responsibilities from the callers into exec_prog() itself. This makes
the callsites cleaner.
4741e9afb9. This was done by adding an
optional second log file parameter to exec_prog(), and closing and
reopening the log file between system() calls.
Backpatch to 9.2.
Since the scandir() emulation was taken out of pg_upgrade, there's
no longer any need for scandir_file_pattern to exist as a global
variable. Replace it with a local in the one remaining function
that was making use of it.
Error out on out-of-memory, rather than returning -1, which the sole
existing caller wasn't checking for anyway. There doesn't seem to be
any use-case for making the caller check for failure here.
Detect failure return from readdir().
Use a less platform-dependent method of calculating the entrysize.
It's possible, but not yet confirmed, that this explains bug #6733,
in which Mike Wilson reports a pg_upgrade crash that did not occur
in 9.1. (Note that load_directory is effectively new code in 9.2,
at least on platforms that have scandir().)
Fix up comments, avoid uselessly using two counters, reduce the number
of realloc calls to something sane.
Currently only pg_clog is copied, but some other directories could need
the same treatment as well, so create a subroutine to do it.
Extracted from my (somewhat larger) FOR KEY SHARE patch.
Now the log file not only contains the output from commands executed by
system(), but also what command it was in the first place. This
arrangement makes debugging a lot simpler.
snprintf counts trailing NUL towards the char limit. Failing to account
for that was causing an invalid value to be passed to pg_resetxlog -l,
aborting the upgrade process.
The xlogid + segno representation of a particular WAL segment doesn't make
much sense in pg_resetxlog anymore, now that we don't use that anywhere
else. Use the WAL filename instead, since that's a convenient way to name a
particular WAL segment.
I did this partially for pg_resetxlog in the original xlogid/segno -> uint64
patch, but I neglected pg_upgrade and the docs. This should now be more
complete.
Before, some places didn't document the short options (-? and -V),
some documented both, some documented nothing, and they were listed in
various orders. Now this is hopefully more consistent and complete.
default tablespace, but part of a database that is in a user-defined
tablespace. Caused "file not found" error during upgrade.
Per bug report from Ants Aasma.
Backpatch to 9.1 and 9.0.
the non-development install. Instead, use the LOAD mechanism to check
for the pg_upgrade_support shared object, like we do for other shared
object checks.
Backpatch to 9.1.
