PostgreSQL 11 JIT support -preliminary support

Reported by: komzpa Owned by: pramsey
Priority: medium Milestone: PostGIS 2.5.0
Component: postgis Version: master
Keywords: Cc: anarazel

Description

Postgres 11 can compile stuff in JIT, inlining all the functions.

https://github.com/postgres/postgres/blob/master/src/backend/jit/README

Per Andres Freund: "But basically you'd have to copy what the install_llvm_module rule in src/Makefile.global.in does."

This is very interesting, but as Andreas points out, we generally have much higher overheads, so the gains we can reap are probably small. What tiny thing do we do very very frequently that could be JIT'ed? Maybe the && operator?

I've not looked through the code for operators or anything like that. But the JIT feature does have costing logic to see whether function/operator inlining is beneficial, so I'd not worry too much about which functions can be inlinable. I'd suggest just installing the bitcode ;)

I notice that postgis actually does, contrary to my expectation, appears to use PGXS https://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/browser/trunk/postgis/Makefile.in so it's possible that the PGXS support does all the necessary things if postgres is compiled with LLVM support. Also possible that some of the bigger complexity, in comparison to the average contrib/ extension, prevents that from working.

Would be good if somebody tried ;). You should see $pkglibdir/postgis-$major-$minor/ being filled with things.

I've moved the CFLAGS in the postgis module to PG_CPPFLAGS as they were being ignored or overwritten when compiling with JIT support.

Now I have a bunch of files in /usr/lib/postgresql/bitcode/ and it appears to work correctly:

liblwgeom functions are not included since the library isn't compiled using PGXS and right now I don't know if it'd be useful. I'm leaving this issue open until I can investigate further, but feel free to close it if you think the job is done.
