Teach nbtree to give some consideration to how "distinguishing"
candidate leaf page split points are. This should not noticeably affect
the balance of free space within each half of the split, while still
making suffix truncation truncate away significantly more attributes on
average.
The logic for choosing a leaf split point now uses a fallback mode in
the case where the page is full of duplicates and it isn't possible to
find even a minimally distinguishing split point. When the page is full
of duplicates, the split should pack the left half very tightly, while
leaving the right half mostly empty. Our assumption is that logical
duplicates will almost always be inserted in ascending heap TID order
with v4 indexes. This strategy leaves most of the free space on the
half of the split that will likely be where future logical duplicates of
the same value need to be placed.
The number of cycles added is not very noticeable. This is important
because deciding on a split point takes place while at least one
exclusive buffer lock is held. We avoid using authoritative insertion
scankey comparisons to save cycles, unlike suffix truncation proper. We
use a faster binary comparison instead.
Note that even pg_upgrade'd v3 indexes make use of these optimizations.
Benchmarking has shown that even v3 indexes benefit, despite the fact
that suffix truncation will only truncate non-key attributes in INCLUDE
indexes. Grouping relatively similar tuples together is beneficial in
and of itself, since it reduces the number of leaf pages that must be
accessed by subsequent index scans.

Make nbtree treat all index tuples as having a heap TID attribute.
Index searches can distinguish duplicates by heap TID, since heap TID is
always guaranteed to be unique. This general approach has numerous
benefits for performance, and is prerequisite to teaching VACUUM to
perform "retail index tuple deletion".
Naively adding a new attribute to every pivot tuple has unacceptable
overhead (it bloats internal pages), so suffix truncation of pivot
tuples is added. This will usually truncate away the "extra" heap TID
attribute from pivot tuples during a leaf page split, and may also
truncate away additional user attributes. This can increase fan-out,
especially in a multi-column index. Truncation can only occur at the
attribute granularity, which isn't particularly effective, but works
well enough for now. A future patch may add support for truncating
"within" text attributes by generating truncated key values using new
opclass infrastructure.
Only new indexes (BTREE_VERSION 4 indexes) will have insertions that
treat heap TID as a tiebreaker attribute, or will have pivot tuples
undergo suffix truncation during a leaf page split (on-disk
compatibility with versions 2 and 3 is preserved). Upgrades to version
4 cannot be performed on-the-fly, unlike upgrades from version 2 to
version 3. contrib/amcheck continues to work with version 2 and 3
indexes, while also enforcing stricter invariants when verifying version
4 indexes. These stricter invariants are the same invariants described
by "3.1.12 Sequencing" from the Lehman and Yao paper.
A later patch will enhance the logic used by nbtree to pick a split
point. This patch is likely to negatively impact performance without
smarter choices around the precise point to split leaf pages at. Making
these two mostly-distinct sets of enhancements into distinct commits
seems like it might clarify their design, even though neither commit is
particularly useful on its own.
The maximum allowed size of new tuples is reduced by an amount equal to
the space required to store an extra MAXALIGN()'d TID in a new high key
during leaf page splits. The user-facing definition of the "1/3 of a
page" restriction is already imprecise, and so does not need to be
revised. However, there should be a compatibility note in the v12
release notes.

Use dedicated struct to represent nbtree insertion scan keys. Having a
dedicated struct makes the difference between search type scankeys and
insertion scankeys a lot clearer, and simplifies the signature of
several related functions. This is based on a suggestion by Andrey
Lepikhov.
Streamline how unique index insertions cache binary search progress.
Cache the state of in-progress binary searches within _bt_check_unique()
for later instead of having callers avoid repeating the binary search in
an ad-hoc manner. This makes it easy to add a new optimization:
_bt_check_unique() now falls out of its loop immediately in the common
case where it's already clear that there couldn't possibly be a
duplicate.
The new _bt_check_unique() scheme makes it a lot easier to manage cached
binary search effort afterwards, from within _bt_findinsertloc(). This
is needed for the upcoming patch to make nbtree tuples unique by
treating heap TID as a final tiebreaker column. Unique key binary
searches need to restore lower and upper bounds. They cannot simply
continue to use the >= lower bound as the offset to insert at, because
the heap TID tiebreaker column must be used in comparisons for the
restored binary search (unlike the original _bt_check_unique() binary
search, where scankey's heap TID column must be omitted).

Commit f2dec34e1 changed things so that printtup's output stringinfo
buffer was allocated outside the per-row temporary context, not inside
it. This creates a need to free that buffer explicitly when the temp
context is freed, but that was overlooked. In most cases, this is all
happening inside a portal or executor context that will go away shortly
anyhow, but that's not always true. Notably, the stringinfo ends up
getting leaked when JDBC uses row-at-a-time fetches. For a query
that returns wide rows, that adds up after awhile.
Per bug #15700 from Matthias Otterbach. Back-patch to v11 where the
faulty code was added.

Many places need both, so this allows a few functions to take one
fewer parameter. More importantly, as soon as we add a VACUUM
option that takes a non-Boolean parameter, we need to replace
'int options' with a struct, and it seems better to think
of adding more fields to VacuumParams rather than passing around
both VacuumParams and a separate struct as well.

ce6afc6 has begun the refactoring work by plugging pg_rewind into a
central routine to update the control file, and left around two extra
copies, with one in xlog.c for the backend and one in pg_resetwal.c. By
adding an extra option to the central routine in controldata_utils.c to
control if a flush of the control file needs to be done, it is proving
to be straight-forward to make xlog.c and pg_resetwal.c use the central
code path at the condition of moving the wait event tracking there.
Hence, this allows to have only one central code path to update the
control file, shaving the code from the duplicates.
This refactoring actually fixes a problem in pg_resetwal. Previously,
the control file was first removed before being recreated. So if a
crash happened between the moment the file was removed and the moment
the file was created, then it would have been possible to not have a
control file anymore in the database folder.

Previously, the SERIALIZABLE isolation level prevented parallel query
from being used. Allow the two features to be used together by
sharing the leader's SERIALIZABLEXACT with parallel workers.
An extra per-SERIALIZABLEXACT LWLock is introduced to make it safe to
share, and new logic is introduced to coordinate the early release
of the SERIALIZABLEXACT required for the SXACT_FLAG_RO_SAFE
optimization, as follows:
The first backend to observe the SXACT_FLAG_RO_SAFE flag (set by
some other transaction) will 'partially release' the SERIALIZABLEXACT,
meaning that the conflicts and locks it holds are released, but the
SERIALIZABLEXACT itself will remain active because other backends
might still have a pointer to it.
Whenever any backend notices the SXACT_FLAG_RO_SAFE flag, it clears
its own MySerializableXact variable and frees local resources so that
it can skip SSI checks for the rest of the transaction. In the
special case of the leader process, it transfers the SERIALIZABLEXACT
to a new variable SavedSerializableXact, so that it can be completely
released at the end of the transaction after all workers have exited.
Remove the serializable_okay flag added to CreateParallelContext() by
commit 9da0cc35, because it's now redundant.

Commit 40dae7ec537, which made the nbtree page split algorithm more
robust, made _bt_insert_parent() only unlock the right child of the
parent page before inserting a new downlink into the parent. Update a
comment from the Berkeley days claiming that both left and right child
pages are unlocked before the new downlink actually gets inserted.
The claim that it is okay to release both locks early based on Lehman
and Yao's say-so never made much sense. Lehman and Yao must sometimes
"couple" buffer locks across a pair of internal pages when relocating a
downlink, unlike the corresponding code within _bt_getstack().

Previously ParallelTableScanDescData was just a member in BTShared,
but after c2fe139c2 that doesn't guarantee sufficient alignment as
specific AMs might (are likely to) need atomic variables in the
struct.
One might think that MAXALIGNing would be sufficient, but as a
comment in shm_toc_allocate() explains, that's not enough. For now,
copy the hack described there.
For parallel sequential scans no such change is needed, as its
allocations go through shm_toc_allocate().
An alternative approach would have been to allocate the parallel scan
descriptor in a separate TOC entry, but there seems little benefit in
doing so.

Too allow table accesses to be not directly dependent on heap, several
new abstractions are needed. Specifically:
1) Heap scans need to be generalized into table scans. Do this by
introducing TableScanDesc, which will be the "base class" for
individual AMs. This contains the AM independent fields from
HeapScanDesc.
The previous heap_{beginscan,rescan,endscan} et al. have been
replaced with a table_ version.
There's no direct replacement for heap_getnext(), as that returned
a HeapTuple, which is undesirable for a other AMs. Instead there's
table_scan_getnextslot(). But note that heap_getnext() lives on,
it's still used widely to access catalog tables.
This is achieved by new scan_begin, scan_end, scan_rescan,
scan_getnextslot callbacks.
2) The portion of parallel scans that's shared between backends need
to be able to do so without the user doing per-AM work. To achieve
that new parallelscan_{estimate, initialize, reinitialize}
callbacks are introduced, which operate on a new
ParallelTableScanDesc, which again can be subclassed by AMs.
As it is likely that several AMs are going to be block oriented,
block oriented callbacks that can be shared between such AMs are
provided and used by heap. table_block_parallelscan_{estimate,
intiialize, reinitialize} as callbacks, and
table_block_parallelscan_{nextpage, init} for use in AMs. These
operate on a ParallelBlockTableScanDesc.
3) Index scans need to be able to access tables to return a tuple, and
there needs to be state across individual accesses to the heap to
store state like buffers. That's now handled by introducing a
sort-of-scan IndexFetchTable, which again is intended to be
subclassed by individual AMs (for heap IndexFetchHeap).
The relevant callbacks for an AM are index_fetch_{end, begin,
reset} to create the necessary state, and index_fetch_tuple to
retrieve an indexed tuple. Note that index_fetch_tuple
implementations need to be smarter than just blindly fetching the
tuples for AMs that have optimizations similar to heap's HOT - the
currently alive tuple in the update chain needs to be fetched if
appropriate.
Similar to table_scan_getnextslot(), it's undesirable to continue
to return HeapTuples. Thus index_fetch_heap (might want to rename
that later) now accepts a slot as an argument. Core code doesn't
have a lot of call sites performing index scans without going
through the systable_* API (in contrast to loads of heap_getnext
calls and working directly with HeapTuples).
Index scans now store the result of a search in
IndexScanDesc->xs_heaptid, rather than xs_ctup->t_self. As the
target is not generally a HeapTuple anymore that seems cleaner.
To be able to sensible adapt code to use the above, two further
callbacks have been introduced:
a) slot_callbacks returns a TupleTableSlotOps* suitable for creating
slots capable of holding a tuple of the AMs
type. table_slot_callbacks() and table_slot_create() are based
upon that, but have additional logic to deal with views, foreign
tables, etc.
While this change could have been done separately, nearly all the
call sites that needed to be adapted for the rest of this commit
also would have been needed to be adapted for
table_slot_callbacks(), making separation not worthwhile.
b) tuple_satisfies_snapshot checks whether the tuple in a slot is
currently visible according to a snapshot. That's required as a few
places now don't have a buffer + HeapTuple around, but a
slot (which in heap's case internally has that information).
Additionally a few infrastructure changes were needed:
I) SysScanDesc, as used by systable_{beginscan, getnext} et al. now
internally uses a slot to keep track of tuples. While
systable_getnext() still returns HeapTuples, and will so for the
foreseeable future, the index API (see 1) above) now only deals with
slots.
The remainder, and largest part, of this commit is then adjusting all
scans in postgres to use the new APIs.

... as well as its implementation from backend/access/hash/hashfunc.c to
backend/utils/hash/hashfn.c.
access/hash is the place for the hash index AM, not really appropriate
for generic facilities, which is what hash_any is; having things the old
way meant that anything using hash_any had to include the AM's include
file, pointlessly polluting its namespace with unrelated, unnecessary
cruft.
Also move the HTEqual strategy number to access/stratnum.h from
access/hash.h.
To avoid breaking third-party extension code, add an #include
"utils/hashutils.h" to access/hash.h. (An easily removed line by
committers who enjoy their asbestos suits to protect them from angry
extension authors.)

93473c6 has removed openLogOff, changing on the way the error message
which is used to report partial writes to WAL segments. The

happened, keeping always the same total length to write. This changes
the error message so as the number of bytes left to write are reported.

This change makes it possible to specify sub-millisecond delays,
which work well on most modern platforms, though that was not true
when the cost-delay feature was designed.
To support this without breaking existing configuration entries,
improve guc.c to allow floating-point GUCs to have units. Also,
allow "us" (microseconds) as an input/output unit for time-unit GUCs.
(It's not allowed as a base unit, at least not yet.)
Likewise change the autovacuum_vacuum_cost_delay reloption to be
floating-point; this forces a catversion bump because the layout of
StdRdOptions changes.
This patch doesn't in itself change the default values or allowed
ranges for these parameters, and it should not affect the behavior
for any already-allowed setting for them.

Similarly to B-tree, GiST index access method gets support of INCLUDE
attributes. These attributes aren't used for tree navigation and aren't
present in non-leaf pages. But they are present in leaf pages and can be
fetched during index-only scan.
The point of having INCLUDE attributes in GiST indexes is slightly different
from the point of having them in B-tree. The main point of INCLUDE attributes
in B-tree is to define UNIQUE constraint over part of attributes enabled for
index-only scan. In GiST the main point of INCLUDE attributes is to use
index-only scan for attributes, whose data types don't have GiST opclasses.

This fixes two sets of issues related to the use of transient files in
the backend:
1) OpenTransientFile() has been used in some code paths with read-write
flags while read-only is sufficient, so switch those calls to be
read-only where necessary. These have been reported by Joe Conway.
2) When opening transient files, it is up to the caller to close the
file descriptors opened. In error code paths, CloseTransientFile() gets
called to clean up things before issuing an error. However in normal
exit paths, a lot of callers of CloseTransientFile() never actually
reported errors, which could leave a file descriptor open without
knowing about it. This is an issue I complained about a couple of
times, but never had the courage to write and submit a patch, so here we
go.
Note that one frontend code path is impacted by this commit so as an
error is issued when fetching control file data, making backend and
frontend to be treated consistently.

This introduces the concept of table access methods, i.e. CREATE
ACCESS METHOD ... TYPE TABLE and
CREATE TABLE ... USING (storage-engine).
No table access functionality is delegated to table AMs as of this
commit, that'll be done in following commits.
Subsequent commits will incrementally abstract table access
functionality to be routed through table access methods. That change
is too large to be reviewed & committed at once, so it'll be done
incrementally.
Docs will be updated at the end, as adding them incrementally would
likely make them less coherent, and definitely is a lot more work,
without a lot of benefit.
Table access methods are specified similar to index access methods,
i.e. pg_am.amhandler returns, as INTERNAL, a pointer to a struct with
callbacks. In contrast to index AMs that struct needs to live as long
as a backend, typically that's achieved by just returning a pointer to
a constant struct.
Psql's \d+ now displays a table's access method. That can be disabled
with HIDE_TABLEAM=true, which is mainly useful so regression tests can
be run against different AMs. It's quite possible that this behaviour
still needs to be fine tuned.
For now it's not allowed to set a table AM for a partitioned table, as
we've not resolved how partitions would inherit that. Disallowing
allows us to introduce, if we decide that's the way forward, such a
behaviour without a compatibility break.
Catversion bumped, to add the heap table AM and references to it.

StoreIndexTuple was a loop over index_getattr, which is O(N^2)
if the index columns are variable-width, and the performance
impact is already quite visible at ten columns. The obvious
move is to replace that with a call to index_deform_tuple ...
but that's *also* a loop over index_getattr. Improve it to
be essentially a clone of heap_deform_tuple.
(There are a few other places that loop over all index columns
with index_getattr, and perhaps should be changed likewise,
but most of them don't seem performance-critical. Anyway, the
rest would mostly only be interested in the index key columns,
which there aren't likely to be so many of. Wide index tuples
are a new thing with INCLUDE.)

After commit b0eaa4c51b, we use a local map of pages to find the required
space for small relations. We do clear this map when we have found a block
with enough free space, when we extend the relation, or on transaction
abort so that it can be used next time. However, we miss to clear it when
we didn't find any pages to try from the map which leads to an assertion
failure when we later tried to use it after relation extension.
In the passing, I have improved some comments in this area.

We have forboth() and forthree() macros that simplify iterating
through several parallel lists, but not everyplace that could
reasonably use those was doing so. Also invent forfour() and
forfive() macros to do the same for four or five parallel lists,
and use those where applicable.
The immediate motivation for doing this is to reduce the number
of ad-hoc lnext() calls, to reduce the footprint of a WIP patch.
However, it seems like good cleanup and error-proofing anyway;
the places that were combining forthree() with a manually iterated
loop seem particularly illegible and bug-prone.
There was some speculation about restructuring related parsetree
representations to reduce the need for parallel list chasing of
this sort. Perhaps that's a win, or perhaps not, but in any case
it would be considerably more invasive than this patch; and it's
not particularly related to my immediate goal of improving the
List infrastructure. So I'll leave that question for another day.
Patch by me; thanks to David Rowley for review.

_bt_getstackbuf() is called at exactly two points following commit
efada2b8e92 (one call site is concerned with page splits, while the
other is concerned with page deletion). The parent buffer returned by
_bt_getstackbuf() is write-locked in both cases. Remove the 'access'
argument and make _bt_getstackbuf() assume that callers require a
write-lock.

Commit efada2b8e92, which made the nbtree page deletion algorithm more
robust, removed _bt_getstackbuf() calls from _bt_pagedel(). It failed
to update a comment that referenced the earlier approach. Update the
comment to explain that the _bt_getstackbuf() page deletion call site
mirrors the only other remaining _bt_getstackbuf() call site, which is
reached during page splits.

When preparing a transaction in two-phase commit, a dummy PGPROC entry
holding the GID used for the transaction is registered, which gets
released once COMMIT PREPARED is run. Prior releasing its shared memory
state, all the locks taken in the prepared transaction are released
using a dedicated set of callbacks (pgstat and multixact having similar
callbacks), which may cause the locks to be released before the GID is
set free.
Hence, there is a small window where lock conflicts could happen, for
example:
- Transaction A releases its locks, still holding its GID in shared
memory.
- Transaction B held a lock which conflicted with locks of transaction
A.
- Transaction B continues its processing, reusing the same GID as
transaction A.
- Transaction B fails because of a conflicting GID, already in use by
transaction A.
This commit changes the shared memory state release so as post-commit
callbacks and predicate lock cleanup happen consistently with the shared
memory state cleanup for the dummy PGPROC entry. The race window is
small and 2PC had this issue from the start, so no backpatch is done.
On top if that fixes discussed involved ABI breakages, which are not
welcome in stable branches.

When reading a new page internally and depending on the way the WAL
reader facility gets used by plugins, the current implementation of the
WAL reader may finish by reading a block multiple times while it is not
actually necessary as the requested data length may be equal to what has
been already read. This can happen for any size, but is more likely to
happen at the end of a page. This can cause performance penalties in
plugins which rely on the block reads to be purely sequential, zlib not
liking backward reads for example. The new behavior also shaves some
cycles when doing recovery.

Test for the compiler builtins __builtin_clz, __builtin_ctz, and
__builtin_popcount, and make use of these in preference to
handwritten C code if they're available. Create src/port
infrastructure for "leftmost one", "rightmost one", and "popcount"
so as to centralize these decisions.
On x86_64, __builtin_popcount generally won't make use of the POPCNT
opcode because that's not universally supported yet. Provide code
that checks CPUID and then calls POPCNT via asm() if available.
This requires indirecting through a function pointer, which is
an annoying amount of overhead for a one-instruction operation,
but it's probably not worth working harder than this for our
current use-cases.
I'm not sure we've found all the existing places that could profit
from this new infrastructure; but we at least touched all the
ones that used copied-and-pasted versions of the bitmapset.c code,
and got rid of multiple copies of the associated constant arrays.
While at it, replace c-compiler.m4's one-per-builtin-function
macros with a single one that can handle all the cases we need
to worry about so far. Also, because I'm paranoid, make those
checks into AC_LINK checks rather than just AC_COMPILE; the
former coding failed to verify that libgcc has support for the
builtin, in cases where it's not inline code.

Somebody will have to try harder before submitting this patch again.
I've spent entirely too much time on it already, and the #ifdef maze yet
to be written in order for it to build at all got on my nerves. The
amount of work needed to get a platform-specific performance improvement
that's barely above the noise level is not worth it.

These opcodes have been around in the AMD world since 2007, and 2008 in
the case of intel. They're supported in GCC and Clang via some __builtin
macros. The opcodes may be unavailable during runtime, in which case we
fall back on a C-based implementation of the code. In order to get the
POPCNT instruction we must pass the -mpopcnt option to the compiler. We
do this only for the pg_bitutils.c file.

Since its introduction, max_wal_senders is counted as part of
max_connections when it comes to define how many connection slots can be
used for replication connections with a WAL sender context. This can
lead to confusion for some users, as it could be possible to block a
base backup or replication from happening because other backend sessions
are already taken for other purposes by an application, and
superuser-only connection slots are not a correct solution to handle
that case.
This commit makes max_wal_senders independent of max_connections for its
handling of PGPROC entries in ProcGlobal, meaning that connection slots
for WAL senders are handled using their own free queue, like autovacuum
workers and bgworkers.
One compatibility issue that this change creates is that a standby now
requires to have a value of max_wal_senders at least equal to its
primary. So, if a standby created enforces the value of
max_wal_senders to be lower than that, then this could break failovers.
Normally this should not be an issue though, as any settings of a
standby are inherited from its primary as postgresql.conf gets normally
copied as part of a base backup, so parameters would be consistent.

Previously heap_getattr() returned NULL for attributes with a fast
default value (c.f. 16828d5c0273), as it had no handling whatsoever
for that case.
A previous fix, 7636e5c60f, attempted to fix issues caused by this
oversight, but just expanding OLD tuples for triggers doesn't actually
solve the underlying issue.
One known consequence of this bug is that the check for HOT updates
can return the wrong result, when a previously fast-default'ed column
is set to NULL. Which in turn means that an index over a column with
fast default'ed columns might be corrupt if the underlying column(s)
allow NULLs.
Fix by handling fast default columns in heap_getattr(), remove now
superfluous expansion in GetTupleForTrigger().

Previously, all heaps had FSMs. For very small tables, this means that the
FSM took up more space than the heap did. This is wasteful, so now we
refrain from creating the FSM for heaps with 4 pages or fewer. If the last
known target block has insufficient space, we still try to insert into some
other page before giving up and extending the relation, since doing
otherwise leads to table bloat. Testing showed that trying every page
penalized performance slightly, so we compromise and try every other page.
This way, we visit at most two pages. Any pages with wasted free space
become visible at next relation extension, so we still control table bloat.
As a bonus, directly attempting one or two pages can even be faster than
consulting the FSM would have been.
Once the FSM is created for a heap we don't remove it even if somebody
deletes all the rows from the corresponding relation. We don't think it is
a useful optimization as it is quite likely that relation will again grow
to the same size.

Previously we initialized pages when bulk extending in
RelationAddExtraBlocks(). That has a major disadvantage: It ties
RelationAddExtraBlocks() to heap, as other types of storage are likely
to need different amounts of special space, have different amount of
free space (previously determined by PageGetHeapFreeSpace()).
That we're relying on initializing pages, but not WAL logging the
initialization, also means the risk for getting
"WARNING: relation \"%s\" page %u is uninitialized --- fixing"
style warnings in vacuums after crashes/immediate shutdowns, is
considerably higher. The warning sounds much more serious than what
they are.
Fix those two issues together by not initializing pages in
RelationAddExtraPages() (but continue to do so in
RelationGetBufferForTuple(), which is linked much more closely to
heap), and accepting uninitialized pages as normal in
vacuumlazy.c. When vacuumlazy encounters an empty page it now adds it
to the FSM, but does nothing else. We chose to not issue a debug
message, much less a warning in that case - it seems rarely useful,
and quite likely to scare people unnecessarily.
For now empty pages aren't added to the VM, because standbys would not
re-discover such pages after a promotion. In contrast to other sources
for empty pages, there's no corresponding WAL records triggering FSM
updates during replay.
Previously when extending the relation, there was a moment between
extending the relation, and acquiring an exclusive lock on the new
page, in which another backend could lock the page. To avoid new
content being put on that new page, vacuumlazy needed to acquire the
extension lock for a brief moment when encountering a new page. A
second corner case, only working somewhat by accident, was that
RelationGetBufferForTuple() sometimes checks the last page in a
relation for free space, without consulting the FSM; that only worked
because PageGetHeapFreeSpace() interprets the zero page header in a
new page as no free space. The lack of handling this properly
required reverting the previous attempt in 684200543b.
This issue can be solved by using RBM_ZERO_AND_LOCK when extending the
relation, thereby avoiding this window. There's some added complexity
when RelationGetBufferForTuple() is called with another buffer (for
updates), to avoid deadlocks, but that's rarely hit at runtime.

To avoid deadlock, backend acquires a lock on heap pages in block
number order. In certain cases, lock on heap pages is dropped and
reacquired. In this case, the locks are dropped for reading in
corresponding VM page/s. The issue is we re-acquire locks in bufferId
order whereas the intention was to acquire in blockid order.
This commit ensures that we will always acquire locks on heap pages in
blockid order.

A timeout of 5s is used when waiting for WAL to become available at
recovery so as the startup process is able to react promptly if a
trigger file shows up. However this missed the fact that the startup
process also relies on the timeout to check periodically the status of
any active WAL receiver.

Create a new header optimizer/optimizer.h, which exposes just the
planner functions that can be used "at arm's length", without need
to access Paths or the other planner-internal data structures defined
in nodes/relation.h. This is intended to provide the whole planner
API seen by most of the rest of the system; although FDWs still need
to use additional stuff, and more thought is also needed about just
what selfuncs.c should rely on.
The main point of doing this now is to limit the amount of new
#include baggage that will be needed by "planner support functions",
which I expect to introduce later, and which will be in relevant
datatype modules rather than anywhere near the planner.
This commit just moves relevant declarations into optimizer.h from
other header files (a couple of which go away because everything
got moved), and adjusts #include lists to match. There's further
cleanup that could be done if we want to decide that some stuff
being exposed by optimizer.h doesn't belong in the planner at all,
but I'll leave that for another day.

In e6799d5a5301 I removed vacuumlazy.c trickery around re-checking
whether a page is actually empty after acquiring an extension lock on
the relation, because the page is not PageInit()ed anymore, and
entries in the FSM ought not to lead to user-visible errors.
As reported by various buildfarm animals that is not correct, given
the way to code currently stands: If vacuum processes a page that's
just been newly added by either RelationGetBufferForTuple() or
RelationAddExtraBlocks(), it could add that page to the FSM and it
could be reused by other backends, before those two functions check
whether the newly added page is actually new. That's a relatively
narrow race, but several buildfarm machines appear to be able to hit
it.
While it seems wrong that the FSM, given it's lack of durability and
approximative nature, can trigger errors like this, that seems better
fixed in a separate commit. Especially given that a good portion of
the buildfarm is red, and this is just re-introducing logic that
existed a few hours ago.
