Before this change FunctionCallInfoData, the struct arguments etc for V1 function calls are stored in, always had space for FUNC_MAX_ARGS/100 arguments, storing datums and their nullness in two arrays. For nearly every function call 100 arguments is far more than needed, therefore wasting memory. Arg and argnull being two separate arrays also guarantees that to access a single argument, two cachelines have to be touched. Change the layout so there's a single variable-length array with pairs of value / isnull. That drastically reduces memory consumption for most function calls (on x86-64 a two argument function now uses 64bytes, previously 936 bytes), and makes it very likely that argument value and its nullness are on the same cacheline. Arguments are stored in a new NullableDatum struct, which, due to padding, needs more memory per argument than before. But as usually far fewer arguments are stored, and individual arguments are cheaper to access, that's still a clear win. It's likely that there's other places where conversion to NullableDatum arrays would make sense, e.g. TupleTableSlots, but that's for another commit. Because the function call information is now variable-length allocations have to take the number of arguments into account. For heap allocations that can be done with SizeForFunctionCallInfoData(), for on-stack allocations there's a new LOCAL_FCINFO(name, nargs) macro that helps to allocate an appropriately sized and aligned variable. Some places with stack allocation function call information don't know the number of arguments at compile time, and currently variably sized stack allocations aren't allowed in postgres. Therefore allow for FUNC_MAX_ARGS space in these cases. They're not that common, so for now that seems acceptable. Because of the need to allocate FunctionCallInfo of the appropriate size, older extensions may need to update their code. To avoid subtle breakages, the FunctionCallInfoData struct has been renamed to FunctionCallInfoBaseData. Most code only references FunctionCallInfo, so that shouldn't cause much collateral damage. This change is also a prerequisite for more efficient expression JIT compilation (by allocating the function call information on the stack, allowing LLVM to optimize it away); previously the size of the call information caused problems inside LLVM's optimizer.
