Here we reduce the block size fields in AllocSetContext, GenerationContext
and SlabContext from Size down to uint32. Ever since c6e0fe1f2, blocks
for non-dedicated palloc chunks can no longer be larger than 1GB, so
there's no need to store the various block size fields as 64-bit values.
32 bits are enough to store 2^30.
Here we also further reduce the memory context struct sizes by getting rid
of the 'keeper' field which stores a pointer to the context's keeper
block. All the context types which have this field always allocate the
keeper block in the same allocation as the memory context itself, so the
keeper block always comes right at the end of the context struct. Add
some macros to calculate that address rather than storing it in the
context.
Overall, in AllocSetContext and GenerationContext, this saves 20 bytes on
64-bit builds which for ALLOCSET_SMALL_SIZES can sometimes mean the
difference between having to allocate a 2nd block and storing all the
required allocations on the keeper block alone. Such contexts are used
in relcache to store cache entries for indexes, of which there can be
a large number in a single backend.

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.
