Subject: [PATCH 1/4] Allow wait event set to be registered to resource owner

WaitEventSet needs to be released using resource owner for a certain
case. This change adds WaitEventSet reowner and allow the creator of a
WaitEventSet to specify a resource owner.

Subject: [PATCH 2/4] Asynchronous execution framework

This is a framework for asynchronous execution based on Robert Haas's
proposal. Any executor node can receive tuples from underlying nodes
asynchronously by this. This is a different mechanism from parallel
execution. While the parallel execution is analogous to threads, this
frame work is analogous to select(2), which handles multiple input on
single backend process. To avoid degradation of non-async execution,
this framework uses completely different channel to convey tuples.
You will see the deatil of the API at the end of
src/backend/executor/README.

 SRFs are disallowed in an UPDATE's targetlist.  There, they would have the
 effect of the same row being updated multiple times, which is not very
 useful --- and updates after the first would have no effect anyway.
+
+Asynchronous Execution
+----------------------
+
+In certain cases, it's desirable for a node to indicate that it cannot
+return any tuple immediately but may be able to do at a later time.  This
+might either because the node is waiting on an event external to the
+database system, such as a ForeignScan awaiting network I/O, or because
+the node is waiting for an event internal to the database system - e.g.
+one process involved in a parallel query may find that it cannot progress
+a certain parallel operation until some other process reaches a certain
+point in the computation.  A process which discovers this type of situation
+can always handle it simply by blocking, but this may waste time that could
+be spent executing some other part of the plan where progress could be
+made immediately.  This is particularly likely to occur when the plan
+contains an Append node.
+
+To use asynchronous execution, a node must first request a tuple from
+an async-capable child node using ExecAsyncRequest.  Next, when the
+result is not available immediately, it must execute the asynchronous
+event loop using ExecAsyncEventLoop; it can avoid giving up control
+indefinitely by passing a timeout to this function, even passing -1 to
+poll for events without blocking.  Eventually, when a node to which an
+asynchronous request has been made produces a tuple, the requesting
+node will receive a callback from the event loop via
+ExecAsyncResponse. Typically, the ExecAsyncResponse callback is the
+only one required for nodes that wish to request tuples
+asynchronously.
+
+On the other hand, nodes that wish to produce tuples asynchronously
+generally need to implement three methods:
+
+1. When an asynchronous request is made, the node's ExecAsyncRequest callback
+will be invoked; it should use ExecAsyncSetRequiredEvents to indicate the
+number of file descriptor events for which it wishes to wait and whether it
+wishes to receive a callback when the process latch is set. Alternatively,
+it can instead use ExecAsyncRequestDone if a result is available immediately.
+
+2. When the event loop wishes to wait or poll for file descriptor events and
+the process latch, the ExecAsyncConfigureWait callback is invoked to configure
+the file descriptor wait events for which the node wishes to wait.  This
+callback isn't needed if the node only cares about the process latch.
+
+3. When file descriptors or the process latch become ready, the node's
+ExecAsyncNotify callback is invoked.

Subject: [PATCH 3/4] Make postgres_fdw async-capable.

Make postgre_fdw async-capable using the infrastructure. Additionaly,
this makes connections for postgres_fdw have a connection-specific
area to store information so that foreign scans on the same connection
can share some data. postgres_fdw shares scan node currently running
on the underlying connection. This allows us async-execution of
multiple foreign scans on one foreign server.

Subject: [PATCH 4/4] Apply unlikely to suggest synchronous route of
 ExecAppend.

ExecAppend seems to get slowed down by penalty of misprediction of
branches related to async-execution. Apply unlikey to them to prevent
such penalty on exiting route. Asynchronous execution is already
having a lot of additional code so this doesn't add siginificant
degradation.
