Avoid need for valgrind suppressions for pg_atomic_init_u64 on some platforms.
Previously we used pg_atomic_write_64_impl inside
pg_atomic_init_u64. That works correctly, but on platforms without
64bit single copy atomicity it could trigger spurious valgrind errors
about uninitialized memory, because we use compare_and_swap for atomic
writes on such platforms.
I previously suppressed one instance of this problem (6c878edc1df),
but as Tom reports that wasn't enough. As the atomic variable cannot
yet be concurrently accessible during initialization, it seems better
to have pg_atomic_init_64_impl set the value directly.

Writing a trailing semicolon in a macro is almost never the right thing,

Fix handling of WAL segments ready to be archived during crash recovery

This commit fixes the regression by tracking in shared memory if a live
cluster is either in crash recovery or archive recovery as the handling
of WAL segments ready to be archived is different in both cases (those
WAL segments should not be removed during crash recovery), and by using
this new shared memory state to decide if a segment can be recycled or
not. Previously, it was not possible to know if a cluster was in crash
recovery or archive recovery as the shared state was able to track only
if recovery was happening or not, leading to the problem.

Fix possible crash during FATAL exit from reindexing.

shutdown signal --- while the REINDEX is happening. And that state does
get consulted during catalog accesses, which makes it problematic if we
do any catalog accesses during shutdown --- for example, to clean up any
temp tables created in the session.
If this combination of circumstances occurred, we could find ourselves
trying to access already-freed memory. In debug builds that'd fairly
reliably cause an assertion failure. In production we might often
get away with it, but with some bad luck it could cause a core dump.
Another possible bad outcome is an erroneous conclusion that an

tables right away. (They'd still get dropped by the next session that
uses that temp schema.)

Clear dangling pointer to avoid bogus EXPLAIN printout in a corner case.
ExecReScanHashJoin will destroy the join's hash table if it expects

hash table that exists in the child HashState node. However, it's
possible for the query to terminate without building a fresh hash
table (this happens if the outer relation is found to be empty

to a deleted hash table. That was harmless originally, but since
9.0 EXPLAIN ANALYZE has used that pointer to print hash table
statistics. In debug builds this reproducibly results in garbage
statistics. In non-debug builds there's frequently no ill effects,
but in principle one could get wrong EXPLAIN ANALYZE output, or
perhaps even a crash if free() has released the hashtable memory
back to the OS.
To fix, just make sure we clear the additional pointer when destroying
the hash table. In problematic cases, EXPLAIN ANALYZE will then print
no hashtable statistics (reverting to its pre-9.0 behavior). This isn't

Be more careful about extracting encoding from locale strings on Windows.
GetLocaleInfoEx() can fail on strings that setlocale() was perfectly
happy with. A common way for that to happen is if the locale string
is actually a Unix-style string, say "et_EE.UTF-8". In that case,
what's after the dot is an encoding name, not a Windows codepage number;
blindly treating it as a codepage number led to failure, with a fairly
silly error message. Hence, check to see if what's after the dot is
all digits, and if not, treat it as a literal encoding name rather than
a codepage number. This will do the right thing with many Unix-style
locale strings, and produce a more sensible error message otherwise.
Somewhat independently of that, treat a zero (CP_ACP) result from
GetLocaleInfoEx() as meaning that we must use UTF-8 encoding.

Ensure snapshot is registered within ScanPgRelation().
In 9.4 I added support to use a historical snapshot in

It is not correct to use an unregistered (or non-active) snapshot for

ScanPgRelation() requires that we already have a lock on the relation,

Skip WAL for new relfilenodes, under wal_level=minimal.
Until now, only selected bulk operations (e.g. COPY) did this. If a
given relfilenode received both a WAL-skipping COPY and a WAL-logged
operation (e.g. INSERT), recovery could lose tuples from the COPY. See
src/backend/access/transam/README section "Skipping WAL for New
RelFileNode" for the new coding rules. Maintainers of table access
methods should examine that section.
To maintain data durability, just before commit, we choose between an
fsync of the relfilenode and copying its contents to WAL. A new GUC,
wal_skip_threshold, guides that choice. If this change slows a workload
that creates small, permanent relfilenodes under wal_level=minimal, try
adjusting wal_skip_threshold. Users setting a timeout on COMMIT may
need to adjust that timeout, and log_min_duration_statement analysis
will reflect time consumption moving to COMMIT from commands like COPY.
Internally, this requires a reliable determination of whether
RollbackAndReleaseCurrentSubTransaction() would unlink a relation's
current relfilenode. Introduce rd_firstRelfilenodeSubid. Amend the
specification of rd_createSubid such that the field is zero when a new
rel has an old rd_node. Make relcache.c retain entries for certain

flags.
* Reduce duplication of code between resolve_polymorphic_tupdesc() and

Fix pg_dump/pg_restore to restore event triggers later.
Previously, event triggers were restored just after regular triggers
(and FK constraints, which are basically triggers). This is risky
since an event trigger, once installed, could interfere with subsequent
restore commands. Worse, because event triggers don't have any
particular dependencies on any post-data objects, a parallel restore
would consider them eligible to be restored the moment the post-data
phase starts, allowing them to also interfere with restoration of a
whole bunch of objects that would have been restored before them in
a serial restore. There's no way to completely remove the risk of a
misguided event trigger breaking the restore, since if nothing else
it could break other event triggers. But we can certainly push them
to later in the process to minimize the hazard.
To fix, tweak the RestorePass mechanism introduced by commit 3eb9a5e7c
so that event triggers are handled as part of the post-ACL processing
pass (renaming the "REFRESH" pass to "POST_ACL" to reflect its more
general use). This will cause them to restore after everything except
matview refreshes, which seems OK since matview refreshes really ought
to run in the post-restore state of the database. In a parallel
restore, event triggers and matview refreshes might be intermixed,
but that seems all right as well.
Also update the code and comments in pg_dump_sort.c so that its idea
of how things are sorted agrees with what actually happens due to

order of objects in a dump's TOC, but not the actual restore order.
