My guess it's a spinlock, probably xlogctl->info_lck via
RecoveryInProgress(). Unfortunately inline assembler doesn't always seem
to show up correctly in profiles...
What worked for me was to build with -fno-omit-frame-pointer - that
normally shows the callers, even if it can't generate a proper symbol
name.
Soni: Do you use Hot Standby? Are there connections active while you
have that problem? Any other processes with high cpu load?
