Peter Geoghegan 4ce3afb82e Refactor how VACUUM passes around its XID cutoffs.
Use a dedicated struct for the XID/MXID cutoffs used by VACUUM, such as
FreezeLimit and OldestXmin.  This state is initialized in vacuum.c, and
then passed around by code from vacuumlazy.c to heapam.c freezing
related routines.  The new convention is that everybody works off of the
same cutoff state, which is passed around via pointers to const.

Also simplify some of the logic for dealing with frozen xmin in
heap_prepare_freeze_tuple: add dedicated "xmin_already_frozen" state to
clearly distinguish xmin XIDs that we're going to freeze from those that
were already frozen from before.  That way the routine's xmin handling
code is symmetrical with the existing xmax handling code.  This is
preparation for an upcoming commit that will add page level freezing.

Also refactor the control flow within FreezeMultiXactId(), while adding
stricter sanity checks.  We now test OldestXmin directly, instead of
using FreezeLimit as an inexact proxy for OldestXmin.  This is further
preparation for the page level freezing work, which will make the
function's caller cede control of page level freezing to the function
where appropriate (where heap_prepare_freeze_tuple sees a tuple that
happens to contain a MultiXactId in its xmax).

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download/

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
