Thanks for the suggestion.  I have updated the patch to include
wait_event_type information in the wait_event table.

As asked above by Robert, below is performance data with the patch.

M/C Details
------------------
IBM POWER-8 24 cores, 192 hardware threads
RAM = 492GB

Performance Data
----------------------------
min_wal_size=15GB
max_wal_size=20GB
checkpoint_timeout    =15min
maintenance_work_mem = 1GB
checkpoint_completion_target = 0.9


pgbench read-only (median of 3, 5-min runs)

clients BASE PATCH %
1 19703.549206 19992.141542 1.4646718364
8 120105.542849 127717.835367 6.3380026745
64 487334.338764 495861.7211254 1.7498012521


The read-only data shows some improvement with patch, but I think this is
mostly attributed to run-to-run variation.

pgbench read-write (median of 3, 30-min runs)

clients BASE PATCH %
1 1703.275728 1696.568881 -0.3937616729
8 8884.406185 9442.387472 6.2804567394
64 32648.82798 32113.002416 -1.6411785572


In the above data, the read-write data shows small regression (1.6%) at
higher client-count, but when I ran individually that test, the difference
was 0.5%. I think it is mostly attributed to run-to-run variation as we see
with read-only tests.


Thanks to Mithun C Y for doing performance testing of this patch.

As this patch is adding 4-byte variable to shared memory structure PGPROC,
so this is susceptible to memory alignment issues for shared buffers as
discussed in thread [1], but in general the performance data doesn't
indicate any regression.
