0245f8db36 Pre-beta mechanical code beautification.
Run pgindent, pgperltidy, and reformat-dat-files.

This set of diffs is a bit larger than typical.  We've updated to
pg_bsd_indent 2.1.2, which properly indents variable declarations that
have multi-line initialization expressions (the continuation lines are
now indented one tab stop).  We've also updated to perltidy version
20230309 and changed some of its settings, which reduces its desire to
add whitespace to lines to make assignments etc. line up.  Going
forward, that should make for fewer random-seeming changes to existing
code.

ce340e530d Revise pg_pwrite_zeros()
The following changes are made to pg_write_zeros(), the API able to
write series of zeros using vectored I/O:
- Add of an "offset" parameter, to write the size from this position
(the 'p' of "pwrite" seems to mean position, though POSIX does not
outline ythat directly), hence the name of the routine is incorrect if
it is not able to handle offsets.
- Avoid memset() of "zbuffer" on every call.
- Avoid initialization of the whole IOV array if not needed.
- Group the trailing write() call with the main write() call,
simplifying the function logic.

28cc2976a9 Use pg_pwrite_zeros() in walmethods.c
This change impacts pg_receivewal and pg_basebackup, for the pre-padding
with zeros of all the new non-compressed WAL segments, so as the code is
more robust on partial writes.  This makes the code consistent with the
backend (XLogFileInitInternal) when wal_init_zeros is enabled for the
WAL segment initialization.

ebfb814f7c walmethods.c/h: Make WalWriteMethod more object-oriented.
Normally when we use object-oriented programming techniques, we
provide a pointer to an object and then some way of looking up the
associated table of callbacks, but walmethods.c/h took the alternative
approach of providing only a pointer to the table of callbacks and
thus imposed the artificial restriction that there could only ever be
one object of each type, so that the callbacks could find it via a
global variable. That doesn't seem like the right idea, so revise the
approach.

Each callback which does not already have an argument of type
Walfile * now takes a pointer to the relevant WalWriteMethod *
so that these callbacks need not rely on there being only one
object of each type.

Freeing a WalWriteMethod is now performed via a callback provided
for that purpose rather than requiring the caller to know which
WAL method they want to free.

4fd1479494 walmethods.c/h: Make Walfile a struct, rather than a void *
This makes the curent file position and pathname visible in a generic
way, so we no longer need current_walfile_name global variable or the
get_current_pos() method. Since that purported to be able to fail but
never actually did, this also lets us get rid of some unnecessary
error-handling code.

One risk of this change is that the get_current_pos() method
previously cleared the error indicator, and that will no longer happen
with the new approach. I looked for a way that this could cause problems
and did not find one.

The previous code was confused about whether "Walfile" was the
implementation-dependent structure representing a WAL file or
whether it was a pointer to that stucture. Some of the code used it
one way, and some in the other. The compiler tolerated that because
void * is interchangeable with void **, but now that Walfile is a
struct, it's necessary to be consistent. Hence, some references to
"Walfile" have been converted to "Walfile *".

The new option set of pg_receivewal introduced in 042a923 to control the
compression method makes it now easy to pass down various options,
including the compression level.  The change to be able to do is simple,

of LZ4F_preferences_t as required by LZ4, but this is only available
since v1.8.3.  memset()'ing its structure to 0 is enough.

Get rid of the separate "FATAL" log level, as it was applied
so inconsistently as to be meaningless.  This mostly involves
s/pg_log_fatal/pg_log_error/g.

Create a macro pg_fatal() to handle the common use-case of
pg_log_error() immediately followed by exit(1).  Various
modules had already invented either this or equivalent macros;
standardize on pg_fatal() and apply it where possible.

Invent the ability to add "detail" and "hint" messages to a
frontend message, much as we have long had in the backend.

Except where rewording was needed to convert existing coding
to detail/hint style, I have (mostly) resisted the temptation

000f3adfdc Refactor tar method of walmethods.c to rely on the compression method
Since d62bcc8, the directory method of walmethods.c uses the compression
method to determine which code path to take.  The tar method, used by
pg_basebackup --format=t, was inconsistent regarding that, as it relied
on the compression level to check if no compression or gzip should be
used.  This commit makes the code more consistent as a whole in this
file, making the tar logic use a compression method rather than
assigning COMPRESSION_NONE that would be ignored.

The options of pg_basebackup are planned to be reworked but we are not
sure yet of the shape they should have as this has some dependency with
the integration of the server-side compression for base backups, so this
is left out for the moment.  This change has as benefit to make easier
the future integration of new compression methods for the tar method of
walmethods.c, for the client-side compression.

LZ4F_freeCompressionContext() to finish the cleanup.  The code as-is was

there are no contents to flush at this stage, so remove it.

248c3a937d Clean up error handling in pg_basebackup's walmethods.c.
The error handling here was a mess, as a result of a fundamentally
bad design (relying on errno to keep its value much longer than is
safe to assume) as well as a lot of just plain sloppiness, both as
to noticing errors at all and as to reporting the correct errno.
Moreover, the recent addition of LZ4 compression broke things
completely, because liblz4 doesn't use errno to report errors.

To improve matters, keep the error state in the DirectoryMethodData or
TarMethodData struct, and add a string field so we can handle cases
that don't set errno.  (The tar methods already had a version of this,
but it can be done more efficiently since all these cases use a
constant error string.)  Make the dir and tar methods handle errors
in basically identical ways, which they didn't before.

This requires copying errno into the state struct in a lot of places,
which is a bit tedious, but it has the virtue that we can get rid of
ad-hoc code to save and restore errno in a number of places ... not
to mention that it fixes other places that should've saved/restored
errno but neglected to.

In passing, fix some pointlessly static buffers to be ordinary
local variables.

There remains an issue about exactly how to handle errors from
fsync(), but that seems like material for its own patch.

While the LZ4 problems are new, all the rest of this is fixes for
old bugs, so backpatch to v10 where walmethods.c was introduced.

Patch by me; thanks to Michael Paquier for review.

3cac2c8caa Handle close() failures more robustly in pg_dump and pg_basebackup.
Coverity complained that applying get_gz_error after a failed gzclose,
as we did in one place in pg_basebackup, is unsafe.  I think it's
right: it's entirely likely that the call is touching freed memory.
Change that to inspect errno, as we do for other gzclose calls.

Also, be careful to initialize errno to zero immediately before any
gzclose() call where we care about the error status.  (There are
some calls where we don't, because we already failed at some previous
step.)  This ensures that we don't get a misleadingly irrelevant
error code if gzclose() fails in a way that doesn't set errno.
We could work harder at that, but it looks to me like all such cases
are basically can't-happen if we're not misusing zlib, so it's
not worth the extra notational cruft that would be required.

Also, fix several places that simply failed to check for close-time
errors at all, mostly at some remove from the close or gzclose itself;
and one place that did check but didn't bother to report the errno.

Back-patch to v12.  These mistakes are older than that, but between
the frontend logging API changes that happened in v12 and the fact
that frontend code can't rely on %m before that, the patch would need
substantial revision to work in older branches.  It doesn't quite
seem worth the trouble given the lack of related field complaints.

Patch by me; thanks to Michael Paquier for review.

babbbb595d Add support for LZ4 compression in pg_receivewal
pg_receivewal gains a new option, --compression-method=lz4, available
when the code is compiled with --with-lz4.  Similarly to gzip, this
gives the possibility to compress archived WAL segments with LZ4.  This
option is not compatible with --compress.

The implementation uses LZ4 frames, and is compatible with simple lz4
commands.  Like gzip, using --synchronous ensures that any data will be
flushed to disk within the current .partial segment, so as it is
possible to retrieve as much WAL data as possible even from a
non-completed segment (this requires completing the partial file with
zeros up to the WAL segment size supported by the backend after
decompression, but this is the same as gzip).

The calculation of the streaming start LSN is able to transparently find
and check LZ4-compressed segments.  Contrary to gzip where the
uncompressed size is directly stored in the object read, the LZ4 chunk
protocol does not store the uncompressed data by default.  There is
contentSize that can be used with LZ4 frames by that would not help if
using an archive that includes segments compressed with the defaults of
a "lz4" command, where this is not stored.  So, this commit has taken
the most extensible approach by decompressing the already-archived
segment to check its uncompressed size, through a blank output buffer in
chunks of 64kB (no actual performance difference noticed with 8kB, 16kB
or 32kB, and the operation in itself is actually fast).

Tests have been added to verify the creation and correctness of the
generated LZ4 files.  The latter is achieved by the use of command
"lz4", if found in the environment.

The tar-based WAL method in walmethods.c, used now only by
pg_basebackup, does not know yet about LZ4.  Its code could be extended
for this purpose.

d62bcc8b07 Rework compression options of pg_receivewal
pg_receivewal includes since cada1af the option --compress, to allow the
compression of WAL segments using gzip, with a value of 0 (the default)
meaning that no compression can be used.

This commit introduces a new option, called --compression-method, able
to use as values "none", the default, and "gzip", to make things more
extensible.  The case of --compress=0 becomes fuzzy with this option
layer, so we have made the choice to make pg_receivewal return an error
when using "none" and a non-zero compression level, meaning that the
authorized values of --compress are now [1,9] instead of [0,9].  Not
specifying --compress with "gzip" as compression method makes
pg_receivewal use the default of zlib instead (Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION).

The code in charge of finding the streaming start LSN when scanning the
existing archives is refactored and made more extensible.  While on it,
rename "compression" to "compression_level" in walmethods.c, to reduce
the confusion with the introduction of the compression method, even if
the tar method used by pg_basebackup does not rely on the compression
method (yet, at least), but just on the compression level (this area
could be improved more, actually).

This is in preparation for an upcoming patch that adds LZ4 support to
pg_receivewal.

7fbe0c8c4d Fix some issues with WAL segment opening for pg_receivewal --compress
The logic handling the opening of new WAL segments was fuzzy when using
--compress if a partial, non-compressed, segment with the same base name
existed in the repository storing those files.  In this case, using
--compress would cause the code to first check for the existence and the
size of a non-compressed segment, followed by the opening of a new
compressed, partial, segment.  The code was accidentally working
correctly on most platforms as the buildfarm has proved, except
bowerbird where gzflush() could fail in this code path.  It is wrong
anyway to take the code path used pre-padding when creating a new
partial, non-compressed, segment, so let's fix it.

Note that this issue exists when users mix successive runs of
pg_receivewal with or without compression, as discovered with the tests
introduced by ffc9dda.

While on it, this refactors the code so as code paths that need to know
about the ".gz" suffix are down from four to one in walmethods.c, easing
a bit the introduction of new compression methods.  This addresses a
second issue where log messages generated for an unexpected failure
would not show the compressed segment name involved, which was
confusing, printing instead the name of the non-compressed equivalent.

cc8d415117 Unified logging system for command-line programs
This unifies the various ad hoc logging (message printing, error
printing) systems used throughout the command-line programs.

Features:

- Program name is automatically prefixed.

- Message string does not end with newline.  This removes a common
  source of inconsistencies and omissions.

- Additionally, a final newline is automatically stripped, simplifying
  use of PQerrorMessage() etc., another common source of mistakes.

- I converted error message strings to use %m where possible.

- As a result of the above several points, more translatable message
  strings can be shared between different components and between
  frontends and backend, without gratuitous punctuation or whitespace
  differences.

- There is support for setting a "log level".  This is not meant to be
  user-facing, but can be used internally to implement debug or
  verbose modes.

- Lazy argument evaluation, so no significant overhead if logging at
  some level is disabled.

- Some color in the messages, similar to gcc and clang.  Set
  PG_COLOR=auto to try it out.  Some colors are predefined, but can be
  customized by setting PG_COLORS.

- Common files (common/, fe_utils/, etc.) can handle logging much more
  simply by just using one API without worrying too much about the
  context of the calling program, requiring callbacks, or having to
  pass "progname" around everywhere.

- Some programs called setvbuf() to make sure that stderr is
  unbuffered, even on Windows.  But not all programs did that.  This
  is now done centrally.

Soft goals:

- Reduces vertical space use and visual complexity of error reporting
  in the source code.

- Encourages more deliberate classification of messages.  For example,
  in some cases it wasn't clear without analyzing the surrounding code
  whether a message was meant as an error or just an info.

- Concepts and terms are vaguely aligned with popular logging
  frameworks such as log4j and Python logging.

This is all just about printing stuff out.  Nothing affects program
flow (e.g., fatal exits).  The uses are just too varied to do that.
Some existing code had wrappers that do some kind of print-and-exit,
and I adapted those.

I tried to keep the output mostly the same, but there is a lot of
historical baggage to unwind and special cases to consider, and I
might not always have succeeded.  One significant change is that
pg_rewind used to write all error messages to stdout.  That is now
changed to stderr.

44cac93464 Avoid using potentially-under-aligned page buffers.
There's a project policy against using plain "char buf[BLCKSZ]" local
or static variables as page buffers; preferred style is to palloc or
malloc each buffer to ensure it is MAXALIGN'd.  However, that policy's
been ignored in an increasing number of places.  We've apparently got
away with it so far, probably because (a) relatively few people use
platforms on which misalignment causes core dumps and/or (b) the
variables chance to be sufficiently aligned anyway.  But this is not
something to rely on.  Moreover, even if we don't get a core dump,
we might be paying a lot of cycles for misaligned accesses.

To fix, invent new union types PGAlignedBlock and PGAlignedXLogBlock
that the compiler must allocate with sufficient alignment, and use
those in place of plain char arrays.

I used these types even for variables where there's no risk of a
misaligned access, since ensuring proper alignment should make
kernel data transfers faster.  I also changed some places where
we had been palloc'ing short-lived buffers, for coding style
uniformity and to save palloc/pfree overhead.

Since this seems to be a live portability hazard (despite the lack
of field reports), back-patch to all supported versions.

Patch by me; thanks to Michael Paquier for review.

5a23c74b63 Reset properly errno before calling write()
6cb3372 enforces errno to ENOSPC when less bytes than what is expected
have been written when it is unset, though it forgot to properly reset
errno before doing a system call to write(), causing errno to
potentially come from a previous system call.

d08c3d5197 Correct handling of fsync failures with tar mode of walmethods.c
This file has been missing the fact that it needs to report back to
callers a proper failure on fsync calls.  I have spotted the one in
tar_finish() while Kuntal has spotted the one in tar_close().

Backpatch down to 10 where this code has been introduced.

6cb3372411 Address set of issues with errno handling
System calls mixed up in error code paths are causing two issues which
several code paths have not correctly handled:
1) For write() calls, sometimes the system may return less bytes than
what has been written without errno being set.  Some paths were careful
enough to consider that case, and assumed that errno should be set to
ENOSPC, other calls missed that.
2) errno generated by a system call is overwritten by other system calls
which may succeed once an error code path is taken, causing what is
reported to the user to be incorrect.

This patch uses the brute-force approach of correcting all those code
paths.  Some refactoring could happen in the future, but this is let as
future work, which is not targeted for back-branches anyway.

da9b580d89 Refactor dir/file permissions
Consolidate directory and file create permissions for tools which work
with the PG data directory by adding a new module (common/file_perm.c)
that contains variables (pg_file_create_mode, pg_dir_create_mode) and
constants to initialize them (0600 for files and 0700 for directories).

Convert mkdir() calls in the backend to MakePGDirectory() if the
original call used default permissions (always the case for regular PG
directories).

Add tests to make sure permissions in PGDATA are set correctly by the
tools which modify the PG data directory.

382ceffdf7 Phase 3 of pgindent updates.
Don't move parenthesized lines to the left, even if that means they
flow past the right margin.

By default, BSD indent lines up statement continuation lines that are
within parentheses so that they start just to the right of the preceding
left parenthesis.  However, traditionally, if that resulted in the
continuation line extending to the right of the desired right margin,
then indent would push it left just far enough to not overrun the margin,
if it could do so without making the continuation line start to the left of
the current statement indent.  That makes for a weird mix of indentations
unless one has been completely rigid about never violating the 80-column
limit.

This behavior has been pretty universally panned by Postgres developers.
Hence, disable it with indent's new -lpl switch, so that parenthesized
lines are always lined up with the preceding left paren.

This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent
changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.

While at it also update the comments in walmethods.h to make it less
likely for mistakes like this to appear in the future (thanks to Tom for

And finally, in passing change the return type of walmethod.getlasterror
