Don't set recoveryLastXTime when replaying a checkpoint --- that was a bogus
idea from the start since the variable is only meant to track commit/abort
events. This patch reverts the logic around the variable to what it was in
8.4, except that the value is now kept in shared memory rather than a static
variable, so that it can be reported correctly by CreateRestartPoint (which is
executed in the bgwriter).

Make vacuum_defer_cleanup_age be PGC_SIGHUP level, since it's not sensible
to have different values in different processes of the primary server.
Also put it into the "Streaming Replication" GUC category; it doesn't belong
in "Standby Servers" because you use it on the master not the standby.
In passing also correct guc.c's idea of wal_keep_segments' category.
Tom Lane [Sat, 3 Jul 2010 20:43:58 +0000 (20:43 +0000)]
Replace max_standby_delay with two parameters, max_standby_archive_delay and
max_standby_streaming_delay, and revise the implementation to avoid assuming
that timestamps found in WAL records can meaningfully be compared to clock
time on the standby server. Instead, the delay limits are compared to the
elapsed time since we last obtained a new WAL segment from archive or since
we were last "caught up" to WAL data arriving via streaming replication.
This avoids problems with clock skew between primary and standby, as well
as other corner cases that the original coding would misbehave in, such
as the primary server having significant idle time between transactions.
Per my complaint some time ago and considerable ensuing discussion.
Do some desultory editing on the hot standby documentation, too.

Move copydir.c from src/port to src/backend/storage/file
The previous commit to make copydir() interruptible prevented
postgres.exe from linking on MinGW and Cygwin, because on those
platforms libpgport_srv.a can't freely reference symbols defined
by the backend. Since that code is already backend-specific anyway,
just move the whole file into the backend rather than adding further
kludges to deal with the symbols needed by CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS().
This probably needs some further cleanup, but this commit just moves
the file as-is, which should hopefully be enough to turn the
buildfarm green again.
