The use of volatiles in procarray.c largely originated from the time
when postgres did not have reliable compiler and memory
barriers. That's not the case anymore, so we can do better.
Several of the functions in procarray.c can be bottlenecks, and
removal of volatile yields mildly better code.
The new state, with explicit memory barriers, is also more
correct. The previous use of volatile did not actually deliver
sufficient guarantees on weakly ordered machines, in particular the
logic in GetNewTransactionId() does not look safe. It seems unlikely
to be a problem in practice, but worth fixing.
Thomas and I independently wrote a patch for this.
