Robert Haas 9b6e8d8f86 Don't use bgw_main even to specify in-core bgworker entrypoints.
On EXEC_BACKEND builds, this can fail if ASLR is in use.

Backpatch to 9.5.  On master, completely remove the bgw_main field
completely, since there is no situation in which it is safe for an
EXEC_BACKEND build.  On 9.6 and 9.5, leave the field intact to avoid
breaking things for third-party code that doesn't care about working
under EXEC_BACKEND.  Prior to 9.5, there are no in-core bgworker
entrypoints.

PostgreSQL tests
================

This directory contains a variety of test infrastructure as well as some of the
tests in PostgreSQL. Not all tests are here -- in particular, there are more in
individual contrib/ modules and in src/bin.

Not all these tests get run by "make check". Check src/test/Makefile to see
which tests get run automatically.

examples/
  Demonstration programs for libpq that double as regression tests via
  "make check"

isolation/
  Tests for concurrent behavior at the SQL level

locale/
  Sanity checks for locale data, encodings, etc

mb/
  Tests for multibyte encoding (UTF-8) support

modules/
  Extensions used only or mainly for test purposes, generally not suitable
  for installing in production databases

perl/
  Infrastructure for Perl-based TAP tests

recovery/
  Test suite for recovery and replication

regress/
  PostgreSQL's main regression test suite, pg_regress

ssl/
  Tests to exercise and verify SSL certificate handling

thread/
  A thread-safety-testing utility used by configure
