     * st_changecount, copy the entry into private memory, then check
     * st_changecount again.  If the value hasn't changed, and if it's even,
     * the copy is valid; otherwise start over.  This makes updates cheap
     * while reads are potentially expensive, but that's the tradeoff we want.
     *
     * The above protocol needs memory barriers to ensure that the apparent
     * order of execution is as it desires.  Otherwise, for example, the CPU
     * might rearrange the code so that st_changecount is incremented twice

 * after, modifying the current process's PgBackendStatus data.  Note that,
 * since there is no mechanism for cleaning up st_changecount after an error,
 * THESE MACROS FORM A CRITICAL SECTION.  Any error between them will be
 * promoted to PANIC, causing a database restart to clean up shared memory!
 * Hence, keep the critical section as short and straight-line as possible.
 * Aside from being safer, that minimizes the window in which readers will
 * have to loop.
 *
 * Reader logic should follow this sketch:
 *
 *      for (;;)
 *      {
 *          int before_ct, after_ct;
 *
 *          pgstat_begin_read_activity(beentry, before_ct);
 *          ... copy beentry data to local memory ...
 *          pgstat_end_read_activity(beentry, after_ct);
 *          if (pgstat_read_activity_complete(before_ct, after_ct))
 *              break;
 *          CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS();
 *      }
 *
 * For extra safety, we generally use volatile beentry pointers, although
 * the memory barriers should theoretically be sufficient.
