 What we actually enforce is strict serialization of commits and rollbacks
-with snapshot-taking: we do not allow any transaction to exit the set of
-running transactions while a snapshot is being taken.  (This rule is
-stronger than necessary for consistency, but is relatively simple to
-enforce, and it assists with some other issues as explained below.)  The
-implementation of this is that GetSnapshotData takes the ProcArrayLock in
-shared mode (so that multiple backends can take snapshots in parallel),
-but ProcArrayEndTransaction must take the ProcArrayLock in exclusive mode
-while clearing MyPgXact->xid at transaction end (either commit or abort).
-(To reduce context switching, when multiple transactions commit nearly
-simultaneously, we have one backend take ProcArrayLock and clear the XIDs
-of multiple processes at once.)
-
-ProcArrayEndTransaction also holds the lock while advancing the shared
-latestCompletedXid variable.  This allows GetSnapshotData to use
-latestCompletedXid + 1 as xmax for its snapshot: there can be no
-transaction >= this xid value that the snapshot needs to consider as
-completed.
-
-In short, then, the rule is that no transaction may exit the set of
-currently-running transactions between the time we fetch latestCompletedXid
-and the time we finish building our snapshot.  However, this restriction
-only applies to transactions that have an XID --- read-only transactions
-can end without acquiring ProcArrayLock, since they don't affect anyone
-else's snapshot nor latestCompletedXid.
-
-Transaction start, per se, doesn't have any interlocking with these
-considerations, since we no longer assign an XID immediately at transaction
-start.  But when we do decide to allocate an XID, GetNewTransactionId must
-store the new XID into the shared ProcArray before releasing XidGenLock.
-This ensures that all top-level XIDs <= latestCompletedXid are either
-present in the ProcArray, or not running anymore.  (This guarantee doesn't
-apply to subtransaction XIDs, because of the possibility that there's not
-room for them in the subxid array; instead we guarantee that they are
-present or the overflow flag is set.)  If a backend released XidGenLock
-before storing its XID into MyPgXact, then it would be possible for another
-backend to allocate and commit a later XID, causing latestCompletedXid to
-pass the first backend's XID, before that value became visible in the
-ProcArray.  That would break GetOldestXmin, as discussed below.
+with snapshot-taking. Each commit is assigned a Commit Sequence Number, or
+CSN for short, using a monotonically increasing counter. A snapshot is
+represented by the value of the CSN counter, at the time the snapshot was
+taken. All (committed) transactions with a CSN <= the snapshot's CSN are
+considered as visible to the snapshot.
+
+When checking the visibility of a tuple, we need to look up the CSN
+of the xmin/xmax. For that purpose, we store the CSN of each
+transaction in the Commit Sequence Number log (csnlog).
+
+So, a snapshot is simply a CSN, such that all transactions that committed
+before that LSN are visible, and everything later is still considered as
+in-progress. However, to avoid consulting the csnlog every time the visibilty
+of a tuple is checked, we also record a lower and upper bound of the XIDs
+considered visible by the snapshot, in SnapshotData. When a snapshot is
+taken, xmax is set to the current nextXid value; any transaction that begins
+after the snapshot is surely still running. The xmin is tracked lazily in
+shared memory, by AdvanceRecentGlobalXmin().

-transactions to clear their MyPgXact->xmin asynchronously (without taking
-ProcArrayLock), so one execution might see what had been the oldest xmin,

+For freezing tuples, vacuum needs to know the oldest XID that is still
+considered running by any active transaction. That is, the oldest XID still
+considered running by the oldest active snapshot, as returned by
+GetOldestSnapshotCSN(). This value is somewhat expensive to calculate, so
+the most recently calculated value is kept in shared memory
+(SharedVariableCache->recentXmin), and is recalculated lazily by
+AdvanceRecentGlobalXmin() function. AdvanceRecentGlobalXmin() first scans
+the proc array, and makes note of the oldest active XID. That XID - 1 will
+become the new xmin. It then waits until all currently active snapshots have
+finished. Any snapshot that begins later will see the xmin as finished, so
+after all the active snapshots have finished, xmin will be visible to
+everyone. However, AdvanceRecentGlobalXmin() does not actually block waiting
+for anything; instead it contains a state machine that advances if possible,
+when AdvanceRecentGlobalXmin() is called. AdvanceRecentGlobalXmin() is

+ *
+ * clog.c
+ *		PostgreSQL transaction-commit-log manager
+ *
+ * This module replaces the old "pg_log" access code, which treated pg_log
+ * essentially like a relation, in that it went through the regular buffer
+ * manager.  The problem with that was that there wasn't any good way to
+ * recycle storage space for transactions so old that they'll never be
+ * looked up again.  Now we use specialized access code so that the commit
+ * log can be broken into relatively small, independent segments.
+ *
+ * XLOG interactions: this module generates an XLOG record whenever a new
+ * CLOG page is initialized to zeroes.  Other writes of CLOG come from
+ * recording of transaction commit or abort in xact.c, which generates its
+ * own XLOG records for these events and will re-perform the status update
+ * on redo; so we need make no additional XLOG entry here.  For synchronous
+ * transaction commits, the XLOG is guaranteed flushed through the XLOG commit
+ * record before we are called to log a commit, so the WAL rule "write xlog
+ * before data" is satisfied automatically.  However, for async commits we
+ * must track the latest LSN affecting each CLOG page, so that we can flush
+ * XLOG that far and satisfy the WAL rule.  We don't have to worry about this
+ * for aborts (whether sync or async), since the post-crash assumption would
+ * be that such transactions failed anyway.

+ * csnlog.c
+ *		Tracking Commit-Sequence-Numbers and in-progress subtransactions
+ *
+ * The pg_csnlog manager is a pg_clog-like manager that stores the commit
+ * sequence number, or parent transaction Id, for each transaction.  It is
+ * a fundamental part of MVCC.
+ *
+ * The csnlog serves two purposes:
+ *
+ * 1. While a transaction is in progress, it stores the parent transaction
+ * Id for each in-progress subtransaction. A main transaction has a parent
+ * of InvalidTransactionId, and each subtransaction has its immediate
+ * parent. The tree can easily be walked from child to parent, but not in
+ * the opposite direction.
+ *
+ * 2. After a transaction has committed, it stores the Commit Sequence
+ * Number of the commit.
+ *
+ * We can use the same structure for both, because we don't care about the
+ * parent-child relationships subtransaction after commit.
+ *
+ * This code is based on clog.c, but the robustness requirements
+ * are completely different from pg_clog, because we only need to remember
+ * pg_csnlog information for currently-open and recently committed
+ * transactions.  Thus, there is no need to preserve data over a crash and
+ * restart.
+ *
+ * There are no XLOG interactions since we do not care about preserving
+ * data across crashes.  During database startup, we simply force the
+ * currently-active page of CSNLOG to zeroes.

- *		PostgreSQL subtransaction-log manager
- *
- * The pg_subtrans manager is a pg_xact-like manager that stores the parent
- * transaction Id for each transaction.  It is a fundamental part of the
- * nested transactions implementation.  A main transaction has a parent
- * of InvalidTransactionId, and each subtransaction has its immediate parent.
- * The tree can easily be walked from child to parent, but not in the
- * opposite direction.
- *
- * This code is based on xact.c, but the robustness requirements
- * are completely different from pg_xact, because we only need to remember
- * pg_subtrans information for currently-open transactions.  Thus, there is
- * no need to preserve data over a crash and restart.
- *
- * There are no XLOG interactions since we do not care about preserving
- * data across crashes.  During database startup, we simply force the
- * currently-active page of SUBTRANS to zeroes.

- * transactions that have XIDs.
- *
- * It is perhaps possible for a backend on the master to terminate without
- * writing an abort record for its transaction.  While that shouldn't really
- * happen, it would tie up KnownAssignedXids indefinitely, so we protect

- *
- * We record all XIDs that we know have been assigned.  That includes all the

- * know XIDs are assigned in sequence, with no gaps.  The KnownAssignedXids
- * list expands as new XIDs are observed or inferred, and contracts when
- * transaction completion records arrive.
- *
- * During hot standby we do not fret too much about the distinction between
- * top-level XIDs and subtransaction XIDs. We store both together in the
- * KnownAssignedXids list.  In backends, this is copied into snapshots in
- * GetSnapshotData(), taking advantage of the fact that XidInMVCCSnapshot()
- * doesn't care about the distinction either.  Subtransaction XIDs are
- * effectively treated as top-level XIDs and in the typical case pg_subtrans
- * links are *not* maintained (which does not affect visibility).
- *
- * We have room in KnownAssignedXids and in snapshots to hold maxProcs *
- * (1 + PGPROC_MAX_CACHED_SUBXIDS) XIDs, so every master transaction must
- * report its subtransaction XIDs in a WAL XLOG_XACT_ASSIGNMENT record at
- * least every PGPROC_MAX_CACHED_SUBXIDS.  When we receive one of these
- * records, we mark the subXIDs as children of the top XID in pg_subtrans,
- * and then remove them from KnownAssignedXids.  This prevents overflow of
- * KnownAssignedXids and snapshots, at the cost that status checks for these
- * subXIDs will take a slower path through TransactionIdIsInProgress().
- * This means that KnownAssignedXids is not necessarily complete for subXIDs,
- * though it should be complete for top-level XIDs; this is the same situation
- * that holds with respect to the PGPROC entries in normal running.
- *
- * When we throw away subXIDs from KnownAssignedXids, we need to keep track of

- * Private module functions to manipulate KnownAssignedXids
- *
- * There are 5 main uses of the KnownAssignedXids data structure:
- *
- *	* backends taking snapshots - all valid XIDs need to be copied out
- *	* backends seeking to determine presence of a specific XID
- *	* startup process adding new known-assigned XIDs
- *	* startup process removing specific XIDs as transactions end
- *	* startup process pruning array when special WAL records arrive
- *
- * This data structure is known to be a hot spot during Hot Standby, so we
- * go to some lengths to make these operations as efficient and as concurrent
- * as possible.
- *
- * The XIDs are stored in an array in sorted order --- TransactionIdPrecedes
- * order, to be exact --- to allow binary search for specific XIDs.  Note:
- * in general TransactionIdPrecedes would not provide a total order, but
- * we know that the entries present at any instant should not extend across
- * a large enough fraction of XID space to wrap around (the master would
- * shut down for fear of XID wrap long before that happens).  So it's OK to
- * use TransactionIdPrecedes as a binary-search comparator.
- *
- * It's cheap to maintain the sortedness during insertions, since new known
- * XIDs are always reported in XID order; we just append them at the right.
- *
- * To keep individual deletions cheap, we need to allow gaps in the array.
- * This is implemented by marking array elements as valid or invalid using
- * the parallel boolean array KnownAssignedXidsValid[].  A deletion is done
- * by setting KnownAssignedXidsValid[i] to false, *without* clearing the
- * XID entry itself.  This preserves the property that the XID entries are
- * sorted, so we can do binary searches easily.  Periodically we compress
- * out the unused entries; that's much cheaper than having to compress the
- * array immediately on every deletion.
- *
- * The actually valid items in KnownAssignedXids[] and KnownAssignedXidsValid[]
- * are those with indexes tail <= i < head; items outside this subscript range
- * have unspecified contents.  When head reaches the end of the array, we
- * force compression of unused entries rather than wrapping around, since
- * allowing wraparound would greatly complicate the search logic.  We maintain
- * an explicit tail pointer so that pruning of old XIDs can be done without
- * immediately moving the array contents.  In most cases only a small fraction
- * of the array contains valid entries at any instant.
- *
- * Although only the startup process can ever change the KnownAssignedXids
- * data structure, we still need interlocking so that standby backends will
- * not observe invalid intermediate states.  The convention is that backends
- * must hold shared ProcArrayLock to examine the array.  To remove XIDs from
- * the array, the startup process must hold ProcArrayLock exclusively, for
- * the usual transactional reasons (compare commit/abort of a transaction
- * during normal running).  Compressing unused entries out of the array
- * likewise requires exclusive lock.  To add XIDs to the array, we just insert
- * them into slots to the right of the head pointer and then advance the head
- * pointer.  This wouldn't require any lock at all, except that on machines
- * with weak memory ordering we need to be careful that other processors
- * see the array element changes before they see the head pointer change.
- * We handle this by using a spinlock to protect reads and writes of the
- * head/tail pointers.  (We could dispense with the spinlock if we were to
- * create suitable memory access barrier primitives and use those instead.)
- * The spinlock must be taken to read or write the head/tail pointers unless
- * the caller holds ProcArrayLock exclusively.
- *
- * Algorithmic analysis:
- *
- * If we have a maximum of M slots, with N XIDs currently spread across
- * S elements then we have N <= S <= M always.
- *
- *	* Adding a new XID is O(1) and needs little locking (unless compression
- *		must happen)
- *	* Compressing the array is O(S) and requires exclusive lock
- *	* Removing an XID is O(logS) and requires exclusive lock
- *	* Taking a snapshot is O(S) and requires shared lock
- *	* Checking for an XID is O(logS) and requires shared lock
- *
- * In comparison, using a hash table for KnownAssignedXids would mean that
- * taking snapshots would be O(M). If we can maintain S << M then the
- * sorted array technique will deliver significantly faster snapshots.
- * If we try to keep S too small then we will spend too much time compressing,
- * so there is an optimal point for any workload mix. We use a heuristic to
- * decide when to compress the array, though trimming also helps reduce
- * frequency of compressing. The heuristic requires us to track the number of
- * currently valid XIDs in the array.

+A litte helper module for testing MVCC performance.
+
+The populate_mvcc_test_table function can be used to create a test table,
+with given number of rows. Each row in the table is stamped with a different
+xmin, and XMIN_COMMITTED hint bit can be set or not. Furthermore, the
+xmins values are shuffled, to defeat caching in transam.c and clog.c as badly
+as possible.
+
+The test table is always called "mvcc_test_table". You'll have to drop it
+yourself between tests.
+
+For example:
+
+-- Create a test table with 10 million rows, without setting hint bits
+select populate_mvcc_test_table(10000000, false);
+
+-- See how long it takes to scan it
+\timing
+select count(*) from mvcc_test_table;
+
+
+
+If you do the above, but have another psql session open, in a transaction
+that's done some updates, i.e. is holding backthe xmin horizon, you will
+see the worst-case performance of the CSN patch.
