Heikki Linnakangas fecfc2b913 In WAL replay, restore GIN metapage unconditionally to avoid torn page. 
We don't take a full-page image of the GIN metapage; instead, the WAL record
contains all the information required to reconstruct it from scratch. But
to avoid torn page hazards, we must re-initialize it from the WAL record
every time, even if it already has a greater LSN, similar to how normal full
page images are restored.

This was highly unlikely to cause any problems in practice, because the GIN
metapage is small. We rely on an update smaller than a 512 byte disk sector
to be atomic elsewhere, at least in pg_control. But better safe than sorry,
and this would be easy to overlook if more fields are added to the metapage
so that it's no longer small.

Reported by Noah Misch. Backpatch to all supported versions.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	http://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
