This is part of this commit:
commit ff99918c62
Author: Fujii Masao <fu...@postgresql.org>
Date: Tue Mar 9 16:52:06 2021 +0900
Track total amounts of times spent writing and syncing WAL data to
disk.
This commit adds new GUC track_wal_io_timing. When this is enabled,
the total amounts of time XLogWrite writes and issue_xlog_fsync
syncs
WAL data to disk are counted in pg_stat_wal. This information would
be
useful to check how much WAL write and sync affect the performance.
The feature is clearly the new system view pg_stat_wal. The question is
whether we should also document that track_wal_io_timing adds timing
control to that new system view. Normally we don't mention additional
features, like pg_dump support, for features we add in a major release.
The documentation we link to from the release notes does mention
track_wal_io_timing.
