Introduce atomic read/write functions with full barrier semantics.
Writing correct code using atomic variables is often difficult due
to the memory barrier semantics (or lack thereof) of the underlying
operations. This commit introduces atomic read/write functions
with full barrier semantics to ease this cognitive load. For
example, some spinlocks protect a single value, and these new
functions make it easy to convert the value to an atomic variable
(thus eliminating the need for the spinlock) without modifying the
barrier semantics previously provided by the spinlock. Since these
functions may be less performant than the other atomic reads and
writes, they are not suitable for every use-case. However, using a
single atomic operation with full barrier semantics may be more
performant in cases where a separate explicit barrier would
otherwise be required.
The base implementations for these new functions are atomic
exchanges (for writes) and atomic fetch/adds with 0 (for reads).
These implementations can be overwritten with better architecture-
specific versions as they are discovered.
This commit leaves converting existing code to use these new
functions as a future exercise.

Improve performance of subsystems on top of SLRU
More precisely, what we do here is make the SLRU cache sizes
configurable with new GUCs, so that sites with high concurrency and big
ranges of transactions in flight (resp. multixacts/subtransactions) can
benefit from bigger caches. In order for this to work with good
performance, two additional changes are made:
1. the cache is divided in "banks" (to borrow terminology from CPU
caches), and algorithms such as eviction buffer search only affect
one specific bank. This forestalls the problem that linear searching
for a specific buffer across the whole cache takes too long: we only
have to search the specific bank, whose size is small. This work is
authored by Andrey Borodin.
2. Change the locking regime for the SLRU banks, so that each bank uses
a separate LWLock. This allows for increased scalability. This work
is authored by Dilip Kumar. (A part of this was previously committed as
d172b717c6f4.)
Special care is taken so that the algorithms that can potentially
traverse more than one bank release one bank's lock before acquiring the
next. This should happen rarely, but particularly clog.c's group commit
feature needed code adjustment to cope with this. I (Álvaro) also added
lots of comments to make sure the design is sound.
The new GUCs match the names introduced by
bcdfa5f2e2f2 in the
pg_stat_slru view.
The default values for these parameters are similar to the previous
sizes of each SLRU. commit_ts, clog and subtrans accept value 0, which
means to adjust by dividing shared_buffers by 512 (so 2MB for every 1GB
of shared_buffers), with a cap of 8MB. (A new slru.c function
SimpleLruAutotuneBuffers() was added to support this.) The cap was
previously 1MB for clog, so for sites with more than 512MB of shared
memory the total memory used increases, which is likely a good tradeoff.
However, other SLRUs (notably multixact ones) retain smaller sizes and
don't support a configured value of 0. These values based on
shared_buffers may need to be revisited, but that's an easy change.
There was some resistance to adding these new GUCs: it would be better
to adjust to memory pressure automatically somehow, for example by
stealing memory from shared_buffers (where the caches can grow and
shrink naturally). However, doing that seems to be a much larger
project and one which has made virtually no progress in several years,
and because this is such a pain point for so many users, here we take
the pragmatic approach.

Adjust memory allocation functions to allow sibling calls
Many modern compilers are able to optimize function calls to functions
where the parameters of the called function match a leading subset of
the calling function's parameters. If there are no instructions in the
calling function after the function is called, then the compiler is free
to avoid any stack frame setup and implement the function call as a
"jmp" rather than a "call". This is called sibling call optimization.
Here we adjust the memory allocation functions in mcxt.c to allow this
optimization. This requires moving some responsibility into the memory
context implementations themselves. It's now the responsibility of the
MemoryContext to check for malloc failures. This is good as it both
allows the sibling call optimization, but also because most small and
medium allocations won't call malloc and just allocate memory to an
existing block. That can't fail, so checking for NULLs in that case
isn't required.
Also, traditionally it's been the responsibility of palloc and the other
allocation functions in mcxt.c to check for invalid allocation size
requests. Here we also move the responsibility of checking that into the
MemoryContext. This isn't to allow the sibling call optimization, but
more because most of our allocators handle large allocations separately
and we can just add the size check when doing large allocations. We no
longer check this for non-large allocations at all.
To make checking the allocation request sizes and ERROR handling easier,
add some helper functions to mcxt.c for the allocators to use.

Add helper functions for dshash tables with string keys.
Presently, string keys are not well-supported for dshash tables.

forward to memcmp() and tag_hash(), both of which do not stop at
the first NUL. This means that callers must pad string keys so
that the data beyond the first NUL does not adversely affect the
results of copying, comparing, and hashing the keys.
To better support string keys in dshash tables, this commit does
a couple things:
* A new copy_function field is added to the dshash_parameters
struct. This function pointer specifies how the key should be
copied into new table entries. For example, we only want to copy

Promote assertion about !ReindexIsProcessingIndex to runtime error.
When this assertion was installed (in commit
d2f60a3ab), I thought
it was only for catching server logic errors that caused accesses to
catalogs that were undergoing index rebuilds. However, it will also
fire in case of a user-defined index expression that attempts to
access its own table. We occasionally see reports of people trying
to do that, and typically getting unintelligible low-level errors
as a result. We can provide a more on-point message by making this
a regular runtime check.
While at it, adjust the similar error check in
systable_beginscan_ordered to use the same message text. That one
is (probably) not reachable without a coding bug, but we might as
well use a translatable message if we have one.

Introduce a new smgr bulk loading facility.
The new facility makes it easier to optimize bulk loading, as the
logic for buffering, WAL-logging, and syncing the relation only needs
to be implemented once. It's also less error-prone: We have had a
number of bugs in how a relation is fsync'd - or not - at the end of a
bulk loading operation. By centralizing that logic to one place, we
only need to write it correctly once.
The new facility is faster for small relations: Instead of of calling
smgrimmedsync(), we register the fsync to happen at next checkpoint,
which avoids the fsync latency. That can make a big difference if you
are e.g. restoring a schema-only dump with lots of relations.
It is also slightly more efficient with large relations, as the WAL
logging is performed multiple pages at a time. That avoids some WAL
header overhead. The sorted GiST index build did that already, this
moves the buffering to the new facility.
The changes to pageinspect GiST test needs an explanation: Before this
patch, the sorted GiST index build set the LSN on every page to the
special GistBuildLSN value, not the LSN of the WAL record, even though
they were WAL-logged. There was no particular need for it, it just
happened naturally when we wrote out the pages before WAL-logging
them. Now we WAL-log the pages first, like in B-tree build, so the
pages are stamped with the record's real LSN. When the build is not
WAL-logged, we still use GistBuildLSN. To make the test output
predictable, use an unlogged index.

Add a new slot sync worker to synchronize logical slots.
By enabling slot synchronization, all the failover logical replication
slots on the primary (assuming configurations are appropriate) are
automatically created on the physical standbys and are synced
periodically. The slot sync worker on the standby server pings the primary
server at regular intervals to get the necessary failover logical slots
information and create/update the slots locally. The slots that no longer
require synchronization are automatically dropped by the worker.
The nap time of the worker is tuned according to the activity on the
primary. The slot sync worker waits for some time before the next
synchronization, with the duration varying based on whether any slots were
updated during the last cycle.
A new parameter sync_replication_slots enables or disables this new

On promotion, the slot sync worker is shut down by the startup process to
drop any temporary slots acquired by the slot sync worker and to prevent
the worker from trying to fetch the failover slots.

Minor corrections for partition pruning
When the partition pruning code finds an OpExpr with an operator that
does not belong to the partition key's opfamily, the code checks to see
if the negator of the operator is the opfamily's BTEqualStrategyNumber
operator so that partition pruning can support that operator and invert
the matching partitions. Doing this only works for LIST partitioned
tables.
Here we fix a minor correctness issue where when we discover we're not
pruning for a LIST partitioned table, we return PARTCLAUSE_NOMATCH.
PARTCLAUSE_NOMATCH is only meant to be used when the clause may match
another partitioned key column. For this case, the clause is not going
to be any more useful to another partitioned key as the partition strategy
is not going to change from one key to the next.
Noticed while working
4c2369ac5. No backpatch because returning
PARTCLAUSE_NOMATCH instead of PARTCLAUSE_UNSUPPORTED mostly just causes
wasted effort checking subsequent partition keys against a clause that
will never be used for pruning.

- Termination of the backend holding it, if any.
- Report that the slot is obsolete, with a conflict cause depending on

This can be racy because between these two steps the slot mutex would be

conflict cause different than the one originally wanted before the

Fix incorrect pruning of NULL partition for boolean IS NOT clauses
Partition pruning wrongly assumed that, for a table partitioned on a
boolean column, a clause in the form "boolcol IS NOT false" and "boolcol

and "boolcol IS false". These are not equivalent as the NOT version
matches the opposite boolean value *and* NULLs. This incorrect assumption
meant that partition pruning pruned away partitions that could contain
NULL values.
Here we fix this by correctly not pruning partitions which could store
NULLs.
To be affected by this, the table must be partitioned by a NULLable boolean
column and queries would have to contain "boolcol IS NOT false" or "boolcol

Improve compression and storage support with inheritance
A child table can specify a compression or storage method different
from its parents. This was previously an error. (But this was
inconsistently enforced because for example the settings could be
changed later using ALTER TABLE.) This now also allows an explicit
override if multiple parents have different compression or storage
settings, which was previously an error that could not be overridden.
The compression and storage properties remains unchanged in a child
inheriting from parent(s) after its creation, i.e., when using ALTER
TABLE ... INHERIT. (This is not changed.)
Before this change, the error detail would mention the first pair of
conflicting parent compression or storage methods. But with this
change it waits till the child specification is considered by which
time we may have encountered many such conflicting pairs. Hence the
error detail after this change does not include the conflicting
compression/storage methods. Those can be obtained from parent
definitions if necessary. The code to maintain list of all
conflicting methods or even the first conflicting pair does not seem
worth the convenience it offers. This change is inline with what we
do with conflicting default values.
Before this commit, the specified storage method could be stored in
ColumnDef::storage (CREATE TABLE ... LIKE) or ColumnDef::storage_name
(CREATE TABLE ...). This caused the MergeChildAttribute() and
MergeInheritedAttribute() to ignore a storage method specified in the
child definition since it looked only at ColumnDef::storage. This
commit removes ColumnDef::storage and instead uses
ColumnDef::storage_name to save any storage method specification. This
is similar to how compression method specification is handled.

Attempt to stabilize flapping regression test
Per buildfarm animal mylodon, the plan for this test was sometimes
swapping the join order for tenk1 and tenk2. Given that add_path() has
no code that would cause this fluctuation when given paths with consistent
costs, this indicates that the costs must be fluctuating in some runs.
The only proven reason I've seen where that could happen was slight
variations in pg_class.relpages for some tables. This was demonstrated to
be true by
f03a9ca43 and related discussion. Manually adjusting tenk2's
pg_class.relpages by subtracting just 1 page does cause the plan to change
for this test.
Here we've not gone to the same lengths to prove that's what's going on
in this case. Proving that does not seem worth the time. Let's just
shrink one side of the join so the additional cost of the swapped join
order is sufficiently different that if the relpages estimate is off a few
pages that the planner still shouldn't swap the join order.
