Bug reference:      14687
Logged by:          Chen huajun
Email address:      chjischj@163.com
PostgreSQL version: 9.5.0
Operating system:   ALL
Description:

Currently, record length in pg_xlogdump/pg_waldump's output only count
length of "main data",
This results in pg_xlogdump/pg_waldump can not accurately count the size of
the various types of WAL records.

for example
   [postgres@node1 ~]$ pg_waldump --stats=record

Total Combined size above is only 6997840 byte,but should be 16MB.


So, I modified one line of code in pg_waldump.c

src/bin/pg_waldump/pg_waldump.c:390
       rec_len = XLogRecGetDataLen(record) + SizeOfXLogRecord;
       /*        * Calculate the amount of FPI data in the record.        *        * XXX: We peek into xlogreader's
privatedecoded backup blocks for 
the        * bimg_len indicating the length of FPI data. It doesn't seem worth
it to        * add an accessor macro for this.        */       fpi_len = 0;       for (block_id = 0; block_id <=
record->max_block_id;block_id++)       {               if (XLogRecHasBlockImage(record, block_id))
fpi_len += record->blocks[block_id].bimg_len;       }
 
==>              /*        * Calculate the amount of FPI data in the record.        *        * XXX: We peek into
xlogreader'sprivate decoded backup blocks for 
the        * bimg_len indicating the length of FPI data. It doesn't seem worth
it to        * add an accessor macro for this.        */       fpi_len = 0;       for (block_id = 0; block_id <=
record->max_block_id;block_id++)       {               if (XLogRecHasBlockImage(record, block_id))
fpi_len += record->blocks[block_id].bimg_len;       }       rec_len = XLogRecGetTotalLen(record) - fpi_len;       
 

and got more precise output(correct FPI ratio is 41.37% instead of 98.81%)
