-				(errmsg("restartpoint complete: wrote %d buffers (%.1f%%); "
+				(errmsg("restartpoint complete: lsn=%X/%X, redo lsn=%X/%X; "
+						"wrote %d buffers (%.1f%%); "
  						"%d WAL file(s) added, %d removed, %d recycled; "
  						"write=%ld.%03d s, sync=%ld.%03d s, total=%ld.%03d s; "
  						"sync files=%d, longest=%ld.%03d s, average=%ld.%03d s; "
  						"distance=%d kB, estimate=%d kB",
+						LSN_FORMAT_ARGS(ControlFile->checkPointCopy.redo),
+						LSN_FORMAT_ARGS(ControlFile->checkPoint),

The order of arguments for LSN seems wrong. LSN_FORMAT_ARGS(ControlFile->checkPoint) should be specified ahead of LSN_FORMAT_ARGS(ControlFile->checkPointCopy.redo)?

Could you tell me why the information for LSN is reported earlierly in the log message? Since ordinally users would be more interested in the information about I/O by checkpoint, the information for LSN should be placed later? Sorry if this was already discussed.
