Andres Freund	dcf7e1697b	Add pg_buffercache_evict_{relation,all} functions ... In addition to the added functions, the pg_buffercache_evict() function now shows whether the buffer was flushed. pg_buffercache_evict_relation(): Evicts all shared buffers in a relation at once. pg_buffercache_evict_all(): Evicts all shared buffers at once. Both functions provide mechanism to evict multiple shared buffers at once. They are designed to address the inefficiency of repeatedly calling pg_buffercache_evict() for each individual buffer, which can be time-consuming when dealing with large shared buffer pools. (e.g., ~477ms vs. ~2576ms for 16GB of fully populated shared buffers). These functions are intended for developer testing and debugging purposes and are available to superusers only. Minimal tests for the new functions are included. Also, there was no test for pg_buffercache_evict(), test for this added too. No new extension version is needed, as it was already increased this release by ba2a3c2302.

Tomas Vondra	ba2a3c2302	Add pg_buffercache_numa view with NUMA node info ... Introduces a new view pg_buffercache_numa, showing NUMA memory nodes for individual buffers. For each buffer the view returns an entry for each memory page, with the associated NUMA node. The database blocks and OS memory pages may have different size - the default block size is 8KB, while the memory page is 4K (on x86). But other combinations are possible, depending on configure parameters, platform, etc. This means buffers may overlap with multiple memory pages, each associated with a different NUMA node. To determine the NUMA node for a buffer, we first need to touch the memory pages using pg_numa_touch_mem_if_required, otherwise we might get status -2 (ENOENT = The page is not present), indicating the page is either unmapped or unallocated. The view may be relatively expensive, especially when accessed for the first time in a backend, as it touches all memory pages to get reliable information about the NUMA node. This may also force allocation of the shared memory.

Tom Lane	f3fa31327e	Add pg_buffercache_usage_counts() to contrib/pg_buffercache. ... It was pointed out that pg_buffercache_summary()'s report of the overall average usage count isn't that useful, and what would be more helpful in many cases is to report totals for each possible usage count. Add a new function to do it like that. Since pg_buffercache 1.4 is already new for v16, we don't need to create a new extension version; we'll just define this as part of 1.4.

Tom Lane	be39d88934	Add regression test coverage for contrib/pg_buffercache. ... We can't check the output of this view very closely without creating portability headaches, but we can make sure that the number of rows is as-expected. In any case, this is sufficient to exercise all the C code within, which is a lot better than the 0% coverage we had before.
