Add --copy-file-range option to pg_upgrade.
The copy_file_range() system call is available on at least Linux and FreeBSD, and asks the kernel to use efficient ways to copy ranges of a file. Options available to the kernel include sharing block ranges (similar to --clone mode), and pushing down block copies to the storage layer. For automated testing, see PG_TEST_PG_UPGRADE_MODE. (Perhaps in a later commit we could consider setting this mode for one of the CI targets.)

Use the <function>copy_file_range</function> system call for efficient
|
||||
copying. On some file systems this gives results similar to
|
||||
<option>--clone</option>, sharing physical disk blocks, while on others
|
||||
it may still copy blocks, but do so via an optimized path. At present,
|
||||
it is supported on Linux and FreeBSD.
