PostgreSQL version: 14.9
Operating system: Linux x86
Description:
Operating system: CentOS release 5.8 (Final) - Linux dev-linuxx86
2.6.18-308.el5 #1 SMP Tue Feb 21 20:05:41 EST 2012 i686 i686
Build options: from source code using default options for 'configure'
during make, compilation failed due to missing epoll_create1, compilation
works in postgres 13.12
Below the error.
latch.c
latch.c: In function ‘CreateWaitEventSet’:
latch.c:763: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘epoll_create1’
latch.c:763: error: ‘EPOLL_CLOEXEC’ undeclared (first use in this
function)
latch.c:763: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
latch.c:763: error: for each function it appears in.)

configure set macro HAVE_SYS_EPOLL_H when sys/epoll.h is present
and in src/backend/storageipc/latch.c
HAVE_SYS_EPOLL_H define WAIT_USE_EPOLL
and WAIT_USE_EPOLL use have 'epoll_create1' which is not present on the
operating system, only first version is present 'epoll_create'
I compared source code between 13.2 and 14.9 and I saw the ifdef
EPOLL_CLOEXEC section was removed, which was a previous constraint which use
epoll_create if not defined instead of epoll_create1 .
Workaround
As a workaround I found that i can set -DWAIT_USE_POLL during configure to
use poll instead epoll but I think that's lead to performance issue.
Thanks by advance,
Regards
