Isn't that already in section 12.2.1 of the documentation?
Using pg_control to get the checkpoint position speeds up the
recovery process, but to handle possible corruption of pg_control,
we should actually implement the reading of existing log segments
in reverse order -- newest to oldest -- in order to find the last
checkpoint. This has not been implemented, yet.
