 *
 * snapmgr.c
 *      PostgreSQL snapshot manager
 *
 * The following functions return an MVCC snapshot that can be used in tuple
 * visibility checks:
 *
 * - GetTransactionSnapshot
 * - GetLatestSnapshot
 * - GetCatalogSnapshot
 * - GetNonHistoricCatalogSnapshot
 *
 * Each of these functions returns a reference to a statically allocated
 * snapshot.  The statically allocated snapshot is subject to change on any
 * snapshot-related function call, and should not be used directly.  Instead,
 * call PushActiveSnapshot() or RegisterSnapshot() to create a longer-lived
 * copy and use that.
 *
 * We keep track of snapshots in two ways: those "registered" by resowner.c,
 * and the "active snapshot" stack.  All snapshots in either of them live in
 * persistent memory.  When a snapshot is no longer in any of these lists
 * (tracked by separate refcounts on each snapshot), its memory can be freed.
 *
 * In addition to the above-mentioned MVCC snapshots, there are some special
 * snapshots like SnapshotSelf, SnapshotAny, and "dirty" snapshots.  They can
 * only be used in limited contexts and cannot be registered or pushed to the
 * active stack.
 *
 * ActiveSnapshot stack
 * --------------------
 *
 * Most visibility checks use the current "active snapshot" returned by
 * GetActiveSnapshot().  When running normal queries, the active snapshot is
 * set when query execution begins based on the transaction isolation level.
 *
 * The active snapshot is tracked in a stack so that the currently active one
 * is at the top of the stack.  It mirrors the process call stack: whenever we
 * recurse or switch context to fetch rows from a different portal for
 * example, the appropriate snapshot is pushed to become the active snapshot,
 * and popped on return.  Once upon a time, ActiveSnapshot was just a global
 * variable that was saved and restored similar to CurrentMemoryContext, but
 * nowadays it's managed as a separate data structure so that we can keep
 * track of which snapshots are in use and reset MyProc->xmin when there is no
 * active snapshot.
 *
 * However, there are a couple of exceptions where the active snapshot stack
 * does not strictly mirror the call stack:
 *
 * - VACUUM and a few other utility commands manage their own transactions,
 *   which take their own snapshots.  They are called with an active snapshot
 *   set, like most utility commands, but they pop the active snapshot that
 *   was pushed by the caller.  PortalRunUtility knows about the possibility
 *   that the snapshot it pushed is no longer active on return.
 *
 * - When COMMIT or ROLLBACK is executed within a procedure or DO-block, the
 *   active snapshot stack is destroyed, and re-established later when
 *   subsequent statements in the procedure are executed.  There are many
 *   limitations on when in-procedure COMMIT/ROLLBACK is allowed; one such
 *   limitation is that all the snapshots on the active snapshot stack are
 *   known to portals that are being executed, which makes it safe to reset
 *   the stack.  See EnsurePortalSnapshotExists().
 *
 * Registered snapshots
 * --------------------
 *
 * In addition to snapshots pushed to the active snapshot stack, a snapshot
 * can be registered with a resource owner.
 *
 * The FirstXactSnapshot, if any, is treated a bit specially: we increment its
 * regd_count and list it in RegisteredSnapshots, but this reference is not
 * tracked by a resource owner. We used to use the TopTransactionResourceOwner
 * to track this snapshot reference, but that introduces logical circularity
 * and thus makes it impossible to clean up in a sane fashion.  It's better to
 * handle this reference as an internally-tracked registration, so that this
 * module is entirely lower-level than ResourceOwners.
 *
 * Likewise, any snapshots that have been exported by pg_export_snapshot
 * have regd_count = 1 and are listed in RegisteredSnapshots, but are not
 * tracked by any resource owner.
 *
 * Likewise, the CatalogSnapshot is listed in RegisteredSnapshots when it
 * is valid, but is not tracked by any resource owner.
 *
 * The same is true for historic snapshots used during logical decoding,
 * their lifetime is managed separately (as they live longer than one xact.c
 * transaction).
 *
 * These arrangements let us reset MyProc->xmin when there are no snapshots
 * referenced by this transaction, and advance it when the one with oldest
 * Xmin is no longer referenced.  For simplicity however, only registered
 * snapshots not active snapshots participate in tracking which one is oldest;
 * we don't try to change MyProc->xmin except when the active-snapshot
 * stack is empty.
