Most came in during the 17 cycle, so backpatch there. Some
(particularly reorderbuffer.h) are very old, but backpatching doesn't
seem useful.
Like commits c9d2977519, c4f113e8fe.
When a standby is promoted, CleanupAfterArchiveRecovery() may decide
to rename the final WAL file from the old timeline by adding ".partial"
to the name. If WAL summarization is enabled and this file is renamed
before its partial contents are summarized, WAL summarization breaks:
the summarizer gets stuck at that point in the WAL stream and just
errors out.
To fix that, first make the startup process wait for WAL summarization
to catch up before renaming the file. Generally, this should be quick,
and if it's not, the user can shut off summarize_wal and try again.
To make this fix work, also teach the WAL summarizer that after a
promotion has occurred, no more WAL can appear on the previous
timeline: previously, the WAL summarizer wouldn't switch to the new
timeline until we actually started writing WAL there, but that meant
that when the startup process was waiting for the WAL summarizer, it
was waiting for an action that the summarizer wasn't yet prepared to
take.
In the process of fixing these bugs, I realized that the logic to wait
for WAL summarization to catch up was spread out in a way that made
it difficult to reuse properly, so this code refactors things to make
it easier.
Finally, add a test case that would have caught this bug and the
previously-fixed bug that WAL summarization sometimes needs to back up
when the timeline changes.

If you try to take an incremental backup on a standby and there hasn't
been much system activity, it might fail. Document why this happens.
Also add a hint to the error message you get, to make it more likely
that users will understand what has gone wrong.

Make sure that function declarations use names that exactly match the
corresponding names from function definitions in a few places. These
inconsistencies were all introduced during Postgres 17 development.
pg_bsd_indent still has a couple of similar inconsistencies, which I
(pgeoghegan) have left untouched for now.
This commit was written with help from clang-tidy, by mechanically
applying the same rules as similar clean-up commits (the earliest such
commit was commit 035ce1fe).

Along the way, also clean up a handful of typos in 3311ea86ed and
ea7b4e9a2a, found by Alexander Lakhin, and a couple of stylistic
snafus noted by Daniel Westermann and Daniel Gustafsson.
Coverity complained about not freeing some memory associated with
incrementally parsing backup manifests. To fix that, provide and use a new
shutdown function for the JsonManifestParseIncrementalState object, in
line with a suggestion from Tom Lane.
While analysing the problem, I noticed a buglet in freeing memory for
incremental json lexers. To fix that remove a bogus condition on
freeing the memory allocated for them.
The user can set RELSEG_SIZE to a high number at compile time, so we
can't use it to control the size of an array on the stack: it could be
many gigabytes in size. On closer inspection, we don't really need that
intermediate array anyway. Let's just write directly into the output
array, and then perform the absolute->relative adjustment in place.
This fixes new code from commit dc21234005.

Align blocks stored in incremental files to BLCKSZ, so that the
incremental backups work well with CoW filesystems.
The header of the incremental file is padded with \0 to a multiple of
BLCKSZ, so that the block data (also BLCKSZ) is aligned to BLCKSZ. The
padding is added only to files containing block data, so files with just
the header remain small. This adds a bit of extra space, but as the
number of blocks increases the overhead gets negligible very quickly.
And as the padding is \0 bytes, it does compress extremely well.
The alignment is important for CoW filesystems that usually require the
blocks to be aligned to filesystem page size for features like block
sharing, deduplication etc. to work well. With the variable sized header
the blocks in the increments were not aligned at all, negating the
benefits of the CoW filesystems.
This matters even for non-CoW filesystems, for example when placed on a
RAID array. If the block is not aligned, it may easily span multiple
devices, causing read and write amplification.
It might be better to align the blocks to the filesystem page, not
BLCKSZ, but we have no good way to determine that. Even if we determine
the page size at the time of taking the backup, the backup may move. For
now the BLCKSZ seems sufficient - the filesystem page is usually 4K, so
the default BLCKSZ (8K by default) is aligned to that.

This changes the three callers to json_parse_manifest() to use
json_parse_manifest_incremental_chunk() if appropriate. In the case of
the backend caller, since we don't know the size of the manifest in
advance we always call the incremental parser.

Before this patch, if you took a full backup on server A and then
tried to use the backup manifest to take an incremental backup on
server B, it wouldn't know that the manifest was from a different
server and so the incremental backup operation could potentially
complete without error. When you later tried to run pg_combinebackup,
you'd find out that your incremental backup was and always had been
invalid. That's poor timing, because nobody likes finding out about
backup problems only at restore time.
With this patch, you'll get an error when trying to take the (invalid)
incremental backup, which seems a lot nicer.

After XLOG_DBASE_CREATE_FILE_COPY, a correct incremental backup needs
to copy in full everything with the database and tablespace OID
mentioned in that record; but that record doesn't specifically mention
the blocks, or even the relfilenumbers, of the affected relations.
As a result, we were failing to copy data that we should have copied.
To fix, enter the DB OID and tablespace OID into the block reference
table with relfilenumber 0 and limit block 0; and treat that as a
limit block of 0 for every relfilenumber whose DB OID and tablespace
OID match.
Also, add a test case.

as determined by include-what-you-use (IWYU)
While IWYU also suggests to *add* a bunch of #include's (which is its
main purpose), this patch does not do that. In some cases, a more
specific #include replaces another less specific one.
Some manual adjustments of the automatic result:
- IWYU currently doesn't know about includes that provide global
variable declarations (like -Wmissing-variable-declarations), so
those includes are being kept manually.
- All includes for port(ability) headers are being kept for now, to
play it safe.
- No changes of catalog/pg_foo.h to catalog/pg_foo_d.h, to keep the
patch from exploding in size.
Note that this patch touches just *.c files, so nothing declared in
header files changes in hidden ways.
As a small example, in src/backend/access/transam/rmgr.c, some IWYU
pragma annotations are added to handle a special case there.

Now that BackendId was just another index into the proc array, it was
redundant with the 0-based proc numbers used in other places. Replace
all usage of backend IDs with proc numbers.
The only place where the term "backend id" remains is in a few pgstat
functions that expose backend IDs at the SQL level. Those IDs are now
in fact 0-based ProcNumbers too, but the documentation still calls
them "backend ids". That term still seems appropriate to describe what
the numbers are, so I let it be.
One user-visible effect is that pg_temp_0 is now a valid temp schema
name, for backend with ProcNumber 0.

To take an incremental backup, you use the new replication command
UPLOAD_MANIFEST to upload the manifest for the prior backup. This
prior backup could either be a full backup or another incremental
backup. You then use BASE_BACKUP with the INCREMENTAL option to take
the backup. pg_basebackup now has an --incremental=PATH_TO_MANIFEST
option to trigger this behavior.
An incremental backup is like a regular full backup except that
some relation files are replaced with files with names like
INCREMENTAL.${ORIGINAL_NAME}, and the backup_label file contains
additional lines identifying it as an incremental backup. The new
pg_combinebackup tool can be used to reconstruct a data directory
from a full backup and a series of incremental backups.
