Tom Lane f13b2088fa Add auxiliary lists to GUC data structures for better performance.
The previous patch made addition of new GUCs cheap, but other GUC
operations aren't improved and indeed get a bit slower, because
hash_seq_search() is slower than just scanning a pointer array.

However, most performance-critical GUC operations only need
to touch a relatively small fraction of the GUCs; especially
so for AtEOXact_GUC().  We can improve matters at the cost
of a bit more space by adding dlist or slist links to the
GUC data structures.  This patch invents lists that track

(1) all GUCs with non-default "source";

(2) all GUCs with nonempty state stack (implying they've
been changed in the current transaction);

(3) all GUCs due for reporting to the client.

All of guc.c's performance-critical cases can make use of one or
another of these lists to avoid searching the whole hash table.
In particular, the stack list means that transaction end
doesn't take time proportional to the number of GUCs, but
only to the number changed in the current transaction.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download/

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
