 * pgstat_backend.c
 *	  Implementation of backend statistics.
 *
 * This file contains the implementation of backend statistics.  It is kept
 * separate from pgstat.c to enforce the line between the statistics access /
 * storage implementation and the details about individual types of
 * statistics.
 *
 * This statistics kind uses a proc number as object ID for the hash table
 * of pgstats.  Entries are created each time a process is spawned, and are
 * dropped when the process exits.  These are not written to the pgstats file
 * on disk.  Pending statistics are managed without direct interactions with
 * PgStat_EntryRef->pending, relying on PendingBackendStats instead so as it
 * is possible to report data within critical sections.
