probes --- the BUFFER_READ_DONE probe provides the same information and more
besides. Expand the LOCK_WAIT_START/DONE probe arguments so that there's
actually some chance of telling what is being waited for. Update and
clean up the documentation.
DTrace probes, so that ordinary reads can be distinguished from relation
extension operations. Move buffer_read_start probe to before the
smgrnblocks() call that's needed in the isExtend case, since really that step
should be charged as part of the time needed for the extension operation.
(This makes it slightly harder to match the read_start with the associated
read_done, since now you can't match them on blockNumber, but it should still
be possible since isExtend operations on the same relation can never be
interleaved.) Per recent discussion.
In passing, add the page identity (forkNum/blockNum) to the parameters of the
buffer_flush_start/buffer_flush_done probes, which were unaccountably lacking
the info.
some bufmgr probes, take out redundant and memory-leak-inducing path arguments
to smgr__md__read__done and smgr__md__write__done, fix bogus attempt to
recalculate space used in sort__done, clean up formatting in places where
I'm not sure pgindent will do a nice job by itself.
includes a few new ones.
- Fixed compilation errors on OS X for probes that use typedefs
- Fixed a number of probes to pass ForkNumber per the relation forks
patch
- The new probes are those that were taken out from the previous
submitted patch and required simple fixes. Will submit the other probes
that may require more discussion in a separate patch.
