Add relallfrozen, an estimate of the number of pages marked all-frozen
in the visibility map.
pg_class already has relallvisible, an estimate of the number of pages
in the relation marked all-visible in the visibility map. This is used
primarily for planning.
relallfrozen, together with relallvisible, is useful for estimating the
outstanding number of all-visible but not all-frozen pages in the
relation for the purposes of scheduling manual VACUUMs and tuning vacuum
freeze parameters.
A future commit will use relallfrozen to trigger more frequent vacuums
on insert-focused workloads with significant volume of frozen data.

This commit adds the amount of time spent sleeping due to
cost-based delay to the pg_stat_progress_vacuum and
pg_stat_progress_analyze system views. A new configuration
parameter named track_cost_delay_timing, which is off by default,
controls whether this information is gathered. For vacuum, the
reported value includes the sleep time of any associated parallel
workers. However, parallel workers only report their sleep time
once per second to avoid overloading the leader process.

This function is used in both vacuum and analyze code paths, and a
follow-up commit will require distinguishing between the two. This
commit forces callers to specify whether they are in a vacuum or

Aggressive vacuums must scan every unfrozen tuple in order to advance
the relfrozenxid/relminmxid. Because data is often vacuumed before it is
old enough to require freezing, relations may build up a large backlog
of pages that are set all-visible but not all-frozen in the visibility
map. When an aggressive vacuum is triggered, all of these pages must be
scanned. These pages have often been evicted from shared buffers and
even from the kernel buffer cache. Thus, aggressive vacuums often incur
large amounts of extra I/O at the expense of foreground workloads.
To amortize the cost of aggressive vacuums, eagerly scan some
all-visible but not all-frozen pages during normal vacuums.
All-visible pages that are eagerly scanned and set all-frozen in the
visibility map are counted as successful eager freezes and those not
frozen are counted as failed eager freezes.
If too many eager scans fail in a row, eager scanning is temporarily
suspended until a later portion of the relation. The number of failures
tolerated is configurable globally and per table.
To effectively amortize aggressive vacuums, we cap the number of
successes as well. Capping eager freeze successes also limits the amount
of potentially wasted work if these pages are modified again before the
next aggressive vacuum. Once we reach the maximum number of blocks
successfully eager frozen, eager scanning is disabled for the remainder
of the vacuum of the relation.

cluster_rel() receives the OID of the relation to process, which it
opens and locks; but then its subroutine copy_table_data() also receives
the relation OID and opens it by itself. This is a bit wasteful. It's
better to have cluster_rel() receive the relation already open, and pass
it down to its subroutines as necessary; then cluster_rel closes the rel
before returning. This simplifies things.
But a better motivation to make this change is that a future command to
do logical-decoding-based "concurrent VACUUM FULL" will need to release
all locks on the relation (and possibly on the clustering index) at some
point. Since it makes little sense to keep the relation reference
without the lock, the cluster_rel() function will also close it (and
the index). With this arrangement, neither the function nor its
subroutines need open extra references, which, again, makes things simpler.

As previously-added tests demonstrated, heap_inplace_update() could
instead update an unrelated tuple of the same catalog. It could lose
the update. Losing relhasindex=t was a source of index corruption.
Inplace-updating commands like VACUUM will now wait for heap_update()
commands like GRANT TABLE and GRANT DATABASE. That isn't ideal, but a
long-running GRANT already hurts VACUUM progress more just by keeping an
XID running. The VACUUM will behave like a DELETE or UPDATE waiting for
the uncommitted change.
For implementation details, start at the systable_inplace_update_begin()
header comment and README.tuplock. Back-patch to v12 (all supported
versions). In back branches, retain a deprecated heap_inplace_update(),

Since autovacuum does not trigger an ANALYZE for partitioned tables,
users must perform these manually. However, performing a manual ANALYZE
on a partitioned table would always result in recursively analyzing each
partition and that could be undesirable as autovacuum takes care of that.
For partitioned tables that contain a large number of partitions, having
to analyze each partition could take an unreasonably long time, especially
so for tables with a large number of columns.
Here we allow the ONLY keyword to prefix the name of the table to allow
users to have ANALYZE skip processing partitions. This option can also
be used with VACUUM, but there is no work to do if VACUUM ONLY is used on
a partitioned table.
This commit also changes the behavior of VACUUM and ANALYZE for
inheritance parents. Previously inheritance child tables would not be
processed when operating on the parent. Now, by default we *do* operate
on the child tables. ONLY can be used to obtain the old behavior.
The release notes should note this as an incompatibility. The default
behavior has not changed for partitioned tables as these always
recursively processed the partitions.

Previously, (auto)analyze used global variables VacuumPageHit,
VacuumPageMiss, and VacuumPageDirty to track buffer usage. However,
pgBufferUsage provides a more generic way to track buffer usage with
support functions.
This change replaces those global variables with pgBufferUsage in
analyze. Since analyze was the sole user of those variables, it
removes their declarations. Vacuum previously used those variables but
replaced them with pgBufferUsage as part of a bug fix, commit
5cd72cc0c.
Additionally, it adjusts the buffer usage message in both vacuum and

The reloptions, which could be used outside of table AM, are now extracted

Previously, we used a simple array for storing dead tuple IDs during
lazy vacuum, which had a number of problems:
* The array used a single allocation and so was limited to 1GB.
* The allocation was pessimistically sized according to table size.
* Lookup with binary search was slow because of poor CPU cache and
branch prediction behavior.
This commit replaces that array with the TID store from commit
30e144287a.
Since the backing radix tree makes small allocations as needed, the
1GB limit is now gone. Further, the total memory used is now often
smaller by an order of magnitude or more, depending on the
distribution of blocks and offsets. These two features should make
multiple rounds of heap scanning and index cleanup an extremely rare
event. TID lookup during index cleanup is also several times faster,
even more so when index order is correlated with heap tuple order.
Since there is no longer a predictable relationship between the number
of dead tuples vacuumed and the space taken up by their TIDs, the
number of tuples no longer provides any meaningful insights for users,
nor is the maximum number predictable. For that reason this commit
also changes to byte-based progress reporting, with the relevant
columns of pg_stat_progress_vacuum renamed accordingly to
max_dead_tuple_bytes and dead_tuple_bytes.
For parallel vacuum, both the TID store and supplemental information
specific to vacuum are shared among the parallel vacuum workers. As
with the previous array, we don't take any locks on TidStore during
parallel vacuum since writes are still only done by the leader
process.

Until now, when DROP DATABASE got interrupted in the wrong moment, the removal
of the pg_database row would also roll back, even though some irreversible
steps have already been taken. E.g. DropDatabaseBuffers() might have thrown
out dirty buffers, or files could have been unlinked. But we continued to
allow connections to such a corrupted database.
To fix this, mark databases invalid with an in-place update, just before
starting to perform irreversible steps. As we can't add a new column in the
back branches, we use pg_database.datconnlimit = -2 for this purpose.
An invalid database cannot be connected to anymore, but can still be
dropped.
Unfortunately we can't easily add output to psql's \l to indicate that some
database is invalid, it doesn't fit in any of the existing columns.
Add tests verifying that a interrupted DROP DATABASE is handled correctly in

When vac_truncate_clog() encounters bogus datfrozenxid / datminmxid values, it
returns early. Unfortunately, until now, it did not release
WrapLimitsVacuumLock. If the backend later tries to acquire
WrapLimitsVacuumLock, the session / autovacuum worker hangs in an
uncancellable way. Similarly, other sessions will hang waiting for the
lock. However, if the backend holding the lock exited or errored out for some
reason, the lock was released.
The bug was introduced as a side effect of 566372b3d643.
It is interesting that there are no production reports of this problem. That
is likely due to a mix of bugs leading to bogus values having gotten less
common, process exit releasing locks and instances of hangs being hard to
debug for "normal" users.

ff9618e82a introduced has_partition_ancestor_privs(), which is used
to check whether a user has MAINTAIN on any partition ancestors.
This involves syscache lookups, and presently this function does
not take any relation locks, so it is likely subject to the same
kind of cache lookup failures that were fixed by 19de0ab23c.
To fix this problem, this commit partially reverts ff9618e82a.
Specifically, it removes the partition-related changes, including
the has_partition_ancestor_privs() function mentioned above. This
means that MAINTAIN on a partitioned table is no longer sufficient
to perform maintenance commands on its partitions. This is more
like how privileges for maintenance commands work on supported
versions. Privileges are checked for each partition, so a command
that flows down to all partitions might refuse to process them
(e.g., if the current user doesn't have MAINTAIN on the partition).
In passing, adjust a few related comments and error messages, and
add a test for the privilege checks for CLUSTER on a partitioned
table.

BUFFER_USAGE_LIMIT to allow users more control over how large to make the
buffer access strategy that is used to limit the usage of buffers in
shared buffers. Larger rings can allow VACUUM to run more quickly but
have the drawback of VACUUM possibly evicting more buffers from shared
buffers that might be useful for other queries running on the database.
Here we also add a new GUC named vacuum_buffer_usage_limit which controls
how large to make the access strategy when it's not specified in the
VACUUM/ANALYZE command. This defaults to 256KB, which is the same size as
the access strategy was prior to this change. This setting also
controls how large to make the buffer access strategy for autovacuum.
Per idea by Andres Freund.

Allow autovacuum to reload the config file more often so that cost-based
delay parameters can take effect while VACUUMing a relation. Previously,
autovacuum workers only reloaded the config file once per relation
vacuumed, so config changes could not take effect until beginning to
vacuum the next table.
Now, check if a reload is pending roughly once per block, when checking
if we need to delay.
In order for autovacuum workers to safely update their own cost delay
and cost limit parameters without impacting performance, we had to
rethink when and how these values were accessed.
Previously, an autovacuum worker's wi_cost_limit was set only at the
beginning of vacuuming a table, after reloading the config file.
Therefore, at the time that autovac_balance_cost() was called, workers
vacuuming tables with no cost-related storage parameters could still
have different values for their wi_cost_limit_base and wi_cost_delay.
Now that the cost parameters can be updated while vacuuming a table,
workers will (within some margin of error) have no reason to have
different values for cost limit and cost delay (in the absence of
cost-related storage parameters). This removes the rationale for keeping
cost limit and cost delay in shared memory. Balancing the cost limit
requires only the number of active autovacuum workers vacuuming a table
with no cost-based storage parameters.

Vacuum code run both by autovacuum workers and a backend doing
VACUUM/ANALYZE previously inspected VacuumCostLimit and VacuumCostDelay,
which are the global variables backing the GUCs vacuum_cost_limit and
vacuum_cost_delay.
Autovacuum workers needed to override these variables with their
own values, derived from autovacuum_vacuum_cost_limit and
autovacuum_vacuum_cost_delay and worker cost limit balancing logic.
This led to confusing code which, in some cases, both derived and
set a new value of VacuumCostLimit from VacuumCostLimit.
In preparation for refreshing these GUC values more often, introduce
new, independent global variables and add a function to update them
using the GUCs and existing logic.

While vacuuming a table in failsafe mode, VacuumCostActive should
not be re-enabled. This currently isn't a problem because vacuum
cost parameters are only refreshed in between vacuuming tables and
failsafe status is reset for every table.
In preparation for allowing vacuum cost parameters to be updated
more frequently, elevate LVRelState->failsafe_active to a global,
VacuumFailsafeActive, which will be checked when determining whether
or not to re-enable vacuum cost-related delays.

vacuum() is used for both the VACUUM command and for autovacuum. There
were many prechecks being done inside vacuum() that were just not relevant
to autovacuum. Let's move the bulk of these into ExecVacuum() so that
they're only executed when running the VACUUM command. This removes a
small amount of overhead when autovacuum vacuums a table.
While we are at it, allocate VACUUM's BufferAccessStrategy in ExecVacuum()
and pass it into vacuum() instead of expecting vacuum() to make it if it's
not already made by the calling function. To make this work, we need to
create the vacuum memory context slightly earlier, so we now need to pass
that down to vacuum() so that it's available for use in other memory
allocations.

32fbe0239 changed things so we didn't bother allocating the
BufferAccessStrategy during VACUUM (ONLY_DATABASE_STATS); and VACUUM
(FULL), however, it forgot to consider that VACUUM (FULL, ANALYZE) is a
possible combination. That change would have resulted in such a command
allowing ANALYZE to make full use of shared buffers, which wasn't
intended, so fix that.

Traditionally, vacuum always makes use of a buffer access strategy 32
buffers in size. This means that running vacuums tend not to cause too
many shared buffers to become dirty, however, this can cause vacuums to
run much more slowly than they otherwise could as WAL flushes will occur
more frequently due to having to flush WAL out to the LSN of the dirty
page before that page can be written to disk.
When we are performing failsafe VACUUMs (as added in 1e55e7d17), we really
want to make the vacuum work go as quickly as possible, so here we disable
the buffer access strategy when entering failsafe mode while vacuuming a
relation.
Per idea and analyis from Andres Freund.
In passing, also include some changes I had intended for 32fbe0239.

VACUUM FULL and VACUUM ONLY_DATABASE_STATS will not use the vacuum
strategy ring created in vacuum(), so don't waste effort making it in
those cases.
There are other conceivable cases where the buffer strategy also won't be
used, but those are probably less common and not worth troubling over too
much. For example VACUUM (PROCESS_MAIN false, PROCESS_TOAST false).
There are other cases too, but many of these are only discovered once
inside vacuum_rel().

Using global variables because we don't want to pass these values around
as parameters does not really seem like a great idea, so let's remove
these two global variables and adjust a few functions to accept these
values as parameters instead.
This is part of a wider patch which intends to allow the size of the
buffer access strategy that vacuum uses to be adjusted.

Commit 4753ef37 changed vacuum_delay_point() to use the WaitLatch() API,
to fix the problem that vacuum could keep running for a very long time
after the postmaster died.
Unfortunately, that broke commit caf626b2's support for fractional
vacuum_cost_delay, which shipped in PostgreSQL 12. WaitLatch() works in
whole milliseconds.
For now, revert the change from commit 4753ef37, but add an explicit
check for postmaster death. That's an extra system call on systems
other than Linux and FreeBSD, but that overhead doesn't matter much
considering that we willingly went to sleep and woke up again. (In
later work, we might add higher resolution timeouts to the latch API so
that we could do this with our standard programming pattern, but that
wouldn't be back-patched.)
Back-patch to 14, where commit 4753ef37 arrived.

4211fbd has been handling PROCESS_MAIN in vacuum_rel() with an "if/else
if" structure to avoid an extra level of indentation, but this has been
found as being rather parse to read. This commit updates the code so as
we check for PROCESS_MAIN in a single place and then handle its
subpaths, FULL or non-FULL vacuums. Some comments are added to make
that clearer for the reader.

Disabling this option is useful to run VACUUM (with or without FULL) on
only the toast table of a relation, bypassing the main relation. This
option is enabled by default.
Running directly VACUUM on a toast table was already possible without
this feature, by using the non-deterministic name of a toast relation
(as of pg_toast.pg_toast_N, where N would be the OID of the parent
relation) in the VACUUM command, and it required a scan of pg_class to
know the name of the toast table. So this feature is basically a
shortcut to be able to run VACUUM or VACUUM FULL on a toast relation,
using only the name of the parent relation.
A new switch called --no-process-main is added to vacuumdb, to work as
an equivalent of PROCESS_MAIN.
Regression tests are added to cover VACUUM and VACUUM FULL, looking at
pg_stat_all_tables.vacuum_count to see how many vacuums have run on
each table, main or toast.
