The new bit indicates whether every tuple on the page is already frozen. It is cleared only when the all-visible bit is cleared, and it can be set only when we vacuum a page and find that every tuple on that page is both visible to every transaction and in no need of any future vacuuming. A future commit will use this new bit to optimize away full-table scans that would otherwise be triggered by XID wraparound considerations. A page which is merely all-visible must still be scanned in that case, but a page which is all-frozen need not be. This commit does not attempt that optimization, although that optimization is the goal here. It seems better to get the basic infrastructure in place first. Per discussion, it's very desirable for pg_upgrade to automatically migrate existing VM forks from the old format to the new format. That, too, will be handled in a follow-on patch.

The PostgreSQL contrib tree --------------------------- This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be part of the main source tree. This does not preclude their usefulness. User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML documentation. When building from the source distribution, these modules are not built automatically, unless you build the "world" target. You can also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected module, do the same in that module's subdirectory. Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or types. To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command. In a fresh database, you can simply do CREATE EXTENSION module_name; See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this procedure.
