For AIO on temporary table buffers the AIO subsystem needs to be able to
ensure a pin on a buffer while AIO is going on, even if the IO issuing query
errors out. Tracking the buffer in LocalRefCount does not work, as it would
cause CheckForLocalBufferLeaks() to assert out.
Instead, also track the refcount in BufferDesc.state, not just
LocalRefCount. This also makes local buffers behave a bit more akin to shared
buffers.
Note that we still don't need locking, AIO completion callbacks for local
buffers are executed in the issuing session (i.e. nobody else has access to
the BufferDesc).

Checksum failure stats could be attributed to the wrong database in two cases:
- when a read of a shared relation encountered a checksum error , it would be
attributed to the current database, instead of the "database" representing
shared relations
- when using CREATE DATABASE ... STRATEGY WAL_LOG checksum errors in the
source database would be attributed to the current database
The checksum stats reporting via PageIsVerifiedExtended(PIV_REPORT_STAT) does
not have access to the information about what database a page belongs to.
This fixes the issue by removing PIV_REPORT_STAT and delegating the
responsibility to report stats to the caller, which now can learn about the
number of stats via a new optional argument.
As this changes the signature of PageIsVerifiedExtended() and all callers
should adapt to the new signature, use the occasion to rename the function to
PageIsVerified() and remove the compatibility macro.
We could instead have fixed this by adding information about the database to
the args of PageIsVerified(), but there are soon-to-be-applied patches that
need to separate the stats reporting from the PageIsVerified() call
anyway. Those patches also include testing for the failure paths, something we
inexplicably have not had.
As there is no caller of pgstat_report_checksum_failure() left, remove it.
It'd be possible, but awkward to fix this in the back branches. We considered
doing the work not quite worth it, as mis-attributed stats should still elicit
concern. The emitted error messages do allow to attribute the errors
correctly.

StartReadBuffers() reports a short read when it finds a cached block
that ends a range needing I/O by updating the caller's *nblocks. It
doesn't want to have to unpin the trailing hit that it knows the caller
wants, so the v17 version used sleight of hand in the name of
simplicity: it included it in *nblocks as if it were part of the I/O,
but internally tracked the shorter real I/O size in io_buffers_len (now
removed).
This API change "forwards" the delimiting buffer to the next call. It's
still pinned, and still stored in the caller's array, but *nblocks no
longer includes stray buffers that are not really part of the operation.
The expectation is that the caller still wants the rest of the blocks
and will call again starting from that point, and now it can pass the
already pinned buffer back in (or choose not to and release it).
The change is needed for the coming asynchronous I/O version's larger
version of the problem: by definition it must move BM_IO_IN_PROGRESS
negotiation from WaitReadBuffers() to StartReadBuffers(), but it might
already have many buffers pinned before it discovers a need to split an
I/O. (The current synchronous I/O version hides that detail from
callers by looping over smaller reads if required to make all covered
buffers valid in WaitReadBuffers(), so it looks like one operation but
it might occasionally be several under the covers.)
Aside from avoiding unnecessary pin traffic, this will also be important
for later work on out-of-order streams: you can't prioritize data that
is already available right now if that fact is hidden from you.
The new API is natural for read_stream.c (see ed0b87ca). After a short
read it leaves forwarded buffers where they fell in its circular queue
for the continuing call to pick up.
Single-block StartReadBuffer() and traditional ReadBuffer() share code
but are not affected by the change. They don't do multi-block I/O.

Previously we would have the following inaccuracies when a backend tried to
read in a buffer, but that buffer was read in concurrently by another backend:
- the read IO was double-counted in the global buffer access stats (pgBufferUsage)
- the buffer hit was not accounted for in:
- global buffer access statistics
- pg_stat_io
- relation level IO stats
- vacuum cost balancing
While trying to read in a buffer that is concurrently read in by another
backend is not a common occurrence, it's also not that rare, e.g. due to
concurrent sequential scans on the same relation. This scenario has become
more likely in PG 17, due to the introducing of read streams, which can pin
multiple buffers before calling StartBufferIO() for all the buffers.
This behaviour has historically grown, but there doesn't seem to be any reason
to continue with the wrong accounting.

The existing io_combine_limit can be changed by users. The new
io_max_combine_limit is fixed at server startup time, and functions as a
silent clamp on the user setting. That in itself is probably quite
useful, but the primary motivation is:
aio_init.c allocates shared memory for all asynchronous IOs including
some per-block data, and we didn't want to waste memory you'd never used
by assuming they could be up to PG_IOV_MAX. This commit already halves
the size of 'AioHandleIov' and 'AioHandleData'. A follow-up commit can
now expand PG_IOV_MAX without affecting that.
Since our GUC system doesn't support dependencies or cross-checks
between GUCs, the user-settable one now assigns a "raw" value to
io_combine_limit_guc, and the lower of io_combine_limit_guc and
io_max_combine_limit is maintained in io_combine_limit.

To initiate IO on a shared buffer we have StartBufferIO(). For temporary table
buffers no similar function exists - likely because the code for that
currently is very simple due to the lack of concurrency.
However, the upcoming AIO support will make it possible to re-encounter a
local buffer, while the buffer already is the target of IO. In that case we
need to wait for already in-progress IO to complete. This commit makes it
easier to add the necessary code, by introducing StartLocalBufferIO().

Previously TerminateLocalBufferIO() was open-coded in multiple places, which
doesn't seem like a great idea. While TerminateLocalBufferIO() currently is
rather simple, an upcoming patch requires additional code to be added to
TerminateLocalBufferIO(), making this modification particularly worthwhile.
For some reason FlushRelationBuffers() previously cleared BM_JUST_DIRTIED,
even though that's never set for temporary buffers. This is not carried over
as part of this change.

If PinLocalBuffer() were to modify the buf_state, the buf_state in
GetLocalVictimBuffer() would be out of date. Currently that does not happen,
as PinLocalBuffer() only modifies the buf_state if adjust_usagecount=true and
GetLocalVictimBuffer() passes false.
However, it's easy to make this not the case anymore - it cost me a few hours
to debug the consequences.
The minimal fix would be to just refetch the buf_state after after calling
PinLocalBuffer(), but the same danger exists in later parts of the
function. Instead, declare buf_state in the narrower scopes and re-read the
state in conditional branches. Besides being safer, it also fits well with
an upcoming set of cleanup patches that move the contents of the conditional
branches in GetLocalVictimBuffer() into helper functions.
I "broke" this in 794f2594479.
Arguably this should be backpatched, but as the relevant functions are not
exported and there is no actual misbehaviour, I chose to not backpatch, at
least for now.

Previously the support functions assumed that the caller needed one pin
to make progress, and could optionally use some more, allowing enough
for every connection to do the same. Add a couple more functions for
callers that want to know:
* what the maximum possible number could be, irrespective of currently
held pins, for space planning purposes
* how many additional pins they could acquire right now, without the
special case allowing one pin, for callers that already hold pins and
could already make progress even if no extra pins are available
The pin limit logic began in commit 31966b15. This refactoring is
better suited to read_stream.c, which will be adjusted to respect the
remaining limit as it changes over time in a follow-up commit. It also
computes MaxProportionalPins up front, to avoid performing divisions
whenever a caller needs to check the balance.

This commit is a rework of 2421e9a51d20, about which Andres Freund has
raised some concerns as it is valuable to have both track_io_timing and
track_wal_io_timing in some cases, as the WAL write and fsync paths can
be a major bottleneck for some workloads. Hence, it can be relevant to
not calculate the WAL timings in environments where pg_test_timing
performs poorly while capturing some IO data under track_io_timing for
the non-WAL IO paths. The opposite can be also true: it should be
possible to disable the non-WAL timings and enable the WAL timings (the
previous GUC setups allowed this possibility).
track_wal_io_timing is added back in this commit, controlling if WAL
timings should be calculated in pg_stat_io for the read, fsync and write
paths, as done previously with pg_stat_wal. pg_stat_wal previously
tracked only the sync and write parts (now removed), read stats is new
data tracked in pg_stat_io, all three are aggregated if
track_wal_io_timing is enabled. The read part matters during recovery
or if a XLogReader is used.
Extra note: more control over if the types of timings calculated in
pg_stat_io could be done with a GUC that lists pairs of (IOObject,IOOp).

For AIO, and also some other recent patches, we need the ability to call
relpath() in a critical section. Until now that was not feasible, as it
allocated memory.
The fact that relpath() allocated memory also made it awkward to use in log
messages because we had to take care to free the memory afterwards. Which we
e.g. didn't do for when zeroing out an invalid buffer.
We discussed other solutions, e.g. filling a pre-allocated buffer that's
passed to relpath(), but they all came with plenty downsides or were larger
projects. The easiest fix seems to be to make relpath() return the path by
value.
To be able to return the path by value we need to determine the maximum length
of a relation path. This patch adds a long #define that computes the exact
maximum, which is verified to be correct in a regression test.
As this change the signature of relpath(), extensions using it will need to
adapt their code. We discussed leaving a backward-compat shim in place, but
decided it's not worth it given the use of relpath() doesn't seem widespread.

The four following attributes are removed from pg_stat_wal:
* wal_write
* wal_sync
* wal_write_time
* wal_sync_time
a051e71e28a1 has added an equivalent of this information in pg_stat_io
with more granularity as this now spreads across the backend types, IO
context and IO objects. So, keeping the same information in pg_stat_wal
has little benefits.
Another benefit of this commit is the removal of PendingWalStats,
simplifying an upcoming patch to add per-backend WAL statistics, which
already support IO statistics and which have access to the write/sync
stats data of WAL.
The GUC track_wal_io_timing, that was used to enable or disable the
aggregation of the write and sync timings for WAL, is also removed.
pgstat_prepare_io_time() is simplified.

When considering a local buffer, the GetBufferDescriptor() call in
BufferGetLSNAtomic() would be retrieving a shared buffer with a bad
buffer ID. Since the code checks whether the buffer is shared before
using the retrieved BufferDesc, this issue did not lead to any
malfunction. Nonetheless this seems like trouble waiting to happen,
so fix it by ensuring that GetBufferDescriptor() is only called when
we know the buffer is shared.

These functions tried to check the state of the buffer's content lock
even for local buffers. Since we don't use the content lock for a
local buffer, that would lead to a "false" result from
LWLockHeldByMeInMode, which would mean a misleading "false" answer
from BufferIsExclusiveLocked (we'd rather that case always return
"true") or an assertion failure in BufferIsDirty.
The core code never applies these two functions to local buffers,
and apparently no extensions do either, since we've not heard
complaints. Still, in the name of future-proofing, let's fix
them to act as though a pinned local buffer is content-locked.

Currently in pg_stat_io view, IOs are counted as blocks of size
BLCKSZ. There are two limitations with this design:
* The actual number of I/O requests sent to the kernel is lower because
I/O requests may be merged before being sent. Additionally, it gives
the impression that all I/Os are done in block size, which shadows the
benefits of merging I/O requests.
* Some patches are under work to extend pg_stat_io for the tracking of
operations that may not be linked to the block size. For example, WAL
read IOs are done in variable bytes and it is not possible to correctly
show these IOs in pg_stat_io view, and we want to keep all this data in
a single system view rather than spread it across multiple relations to
ease monitoring.
WaitReadBuffers() can now be tracked as a single read operation
worth N blocks. Same for ExtendBufferedRelShared() and
ExtendBufferedRelLocal() for extensions.
Three columns are added to pg_stat_io for reads, writes and extensions
for the byte calculations. op_bytes, which was always hardcoded to
BLCKSZ, is removed. IO backend statistics are updated to reflect these
changes.

The pgstat_count_io_op() function, which counts a single I/O operation,
wraps pgstat_count_io_op_n() with a counter value of 1. The latter is
declared in pgstat.h and used nowhere in the code, so let's remove it in
favor of the former.
This change makes also the code more symmetric with
pgstat_count_io_op_time(), that already uses a similar set of arguments,
except that it counts also the I/O time. This will ease a bit the
integration of a follow-up patch that adds byte-level tracking in
pg_stat_io for some of its attributes, lifting the current restriction
based on BLCKSZ as all I/O operations are assumed to be block-based.

With real AIO it doesn't make sense to cross segment boundaries with one
IO. Add smgrmaxcombine() to allow upper layers to query which buffers can be
merged.
We could continue to cross segment boundaries when not using AIO, but it
doesn't really make sense, because md.c will never be able to perform the read
across the segment boundary in one system call. Which means we'll mark more
buffers as undergoing IO than really makes sense - if another backend desires
to read the same blocks, it'll be blocked longer than necessary. So it seems
better to just never cross the boundary.

After further review, we want to move in the direction of always
quoting GUC names in error messages, rather than the previous (PG16)
wildly mixed practice or the intermittent (mid-PG17) idea of doing
this depending on how possibly confusing the GUC name is.
This commit applies appropriate quotes to (almost?) all mentions of
GUC names in error messages. It partially supersedes a243569bf65 and
8d9978a7176, which had moved things a bit in the opposite direction
but which then were abandoned in a partial state.

This fixes various typos, duplicated words, and tiny bits of whitespace
mainly in code comments but also in docs.

This reverts commit b840508644 and bcb14f4abc. These commits were made
for commit 5bec1d6bc5 (Improve eviction algorithm in ReorderBuffer
using max-heap for many subtransactions). However, per discussion,
commit efb8acc0d0 replaced binary heap + index with pairing heap, and
made these commits unnecessary.

When testing buffer pool logic, it is useful to be able to evict
arbitrary blocks. This function can be used in SQL queries over the
pg_buffercache view to set up a wide range of buffer pool states. Of
course, buffer mappings might change concurrently so you might evict a
block other than the one you had in mind, and another session might
bring it back in at any time. That's OK for the intended purpose of
setting up developer testing scenarios, and more complicated interlocking
schemes to give stronger guararantees about that would likely be less
flexible for actual testing work anyway. Superuser-only.

The BAS_VACUUM ring size has been 256kB since commit d526575f introduced
the mechanism 17 years ago. Commit 1cbbee03 recently made it
configurable but retained the traditional default. The correct default
size has been debated for years, but 256kB is certainly very small.
VACUUM soon needs to write back data it dirtied only 32 blocks ago,
which usually requires flushing the WAL. New experiments in prefetching
pages for VACUUM exacerbated the problem by crashing into dirty data
even sooner. Let's make the default 2MB. That's 1.6% of the default
toy buffer pool size, and 0.2% of 1GB, which would be a considered a
small shared_buffers setting for a real system these days. Users are
still free to set the GUC to a different value.

While pinning extra buffers to look ahead, users of strategies are in
danger of using too many buffers. For some strategies, that means
"escaping" from the ring, and in others it means forcing dirty data to
disk very frequently with associated WAL flushing. Since external code
has no insight into any of that, allow individual strategy types to
expose a clamp that should be applied when deciding how many buffers to
pin at once.

Previously, binaryheap didn't support updating a key and removing a
node in an efficient way. For example, in order to remove a node from
the binaryheap, the caller had to pass the node's position within the
array that the binaryheap internally has. Removing a node from the
binaryheap is done in O(log n) but searching for the key's position is
done in O(n).
This commit adds a hash table to binaryheap in order to track the
position of each nodes in the binaryheap. That way, by using newly
added functions such as binaryheap_update_up() etc., both updating a
key and removing a node can be done in O(1) on an average and O(log n)
in worst case. This is known as the indexed binary heap. The caller
can specify to use the indexed binaryheap by passing indexed = true.
The current code does not use the new indexing logic, but it will be
used by an upcoming patch.

Break ReadBuffer() up into two steps. StartReadBuffers() and
WaitReadBuffers() give us two main advantages:
1. Multiple consecutive blocks can be read with one system call.
2. Advice (hints of future reads) can optionally be issued to the
kernel ahead of time.
The traditional ReadBuffer() function is now implemented in terms of
those functions, to avoid duplication.
A new GUC io_combine_limit is defined, and the functions for limiting
per-backend pin counts are made into public APIs. Those are provided
for use by callers of StartReadBuffers(), when deciding how many buffers
to read at once. The following commit will add a higher level mechanism
for doing that automatically with a practical interface.
With some more infrastructure in later work, StartReadBuffers() could
be extended to start real asynchronous I/O instead of just issuing
advice and leaving WaitReadBuffers() to do the work synchronously.

as determined by include-what-you-use (IWYU)
While IWYU also suggests to *add* a bunch of #include's (which is its
main purpose), this patch does not do that. In some cases, a more
specific #include replaces another less specific one.
Some manual adjustments of the automatic result:
- IWYU currently doesn't know about includes that provide global
variable declarations (like -Wmissing-variable-declarations), so
those includes are being kept manually.
- All includes for port(ability) headers are being kept for now, to
play it safe.
- No changes of catalog/pg_foo.h to catalog/pg_foo_d.h, to keep the
patch from exploding in size.
Note that this patch touches just *.c files, so nothing declared in
header files changes in hidden ways.
As a small example, in src/backend/access/transam/rmgr.c, some IWYU
pragma annotations are added to handle a special case there.

Now that BackendId was just another index into the proc array, it was
redundant with the 0-based proc numbers used in other places. Replace
all usage of backend IDs with proc numbers.
The only place where the term "backend id" remains is in a few pgstat
functions that expose backend IDs at the SQL level. Those IDs are now
in fact 0-based ProcNumbers too, but the documentation still calls
them "backend ids". That term still seems appropriate to describe what
the numbers are, so I let it be.
One user-visible effect is that pg_temp_0 is now a valid temp schema
name, for backend with ProcNumber 0.
