Looking backwards in the logs we see it a few other times this month...
(Autovacuum occurring just prior)...same transaction ID
How could it be the same transaction ID from several days prior?

Started seeing this in the logs this afternoon...scaring the begeezus out of me.

I could find nothing any transaction refereced in pg_locks...nor could I find a file with that designation (was always the same transaction id)

ls -l /db/pg_clog/
total 984

At first I thought it was related to a constantly running batch process which I halted, and sure enough, the problem seemed to go away.  If I restarted, the problem returned.

I then tried select * from on most of the tables used by that process (at least the last days worth) and found no obvious issues or errors.
About that time, I noticed that the errors were all IMMEDIATELY preceeded by an autovacuum of template0.  So the logs actually looked like this:

Jan  11 19:20:19 prod-app-1 postgres[1752]: [4-1]  1752 LOG:  autovacuum: processing database "template0"
Jan 11 19:20:19 prod-app-1 postgres[1752]: [5-1]  1752 ERROR:  could not access status of transaction 1924023481

We've downloaded/compiled pg_filedump, but are stumped as to what relation (or even what database) to start with.

I restarted the batch process that I thought was the culprit and the issue has 'gone away'.  I'm sure there is some corruption somewhere (from reading various similar posts), but not sure where to start.

Any help would be appreciated.

So apparently there's some row in template0 that didn't get marked
committed before the pg_clog segment for it went away.  Given 8.1's
rather schizophrenic view of whether it can modify template0 or not,
this is not too surprising, but I thought we'd put in some defense
against this happening.  Alvaro?

Jeff, had you changed your autovac settings recently?  Given that
autovac seems to be trying to hit template0 every few minutes, it's
hard to see how the tuple got missed for long enough to be a problem.

Sure enough I did make autovacuum more agressive about 30-45 days ago (have to check the logs to find the exact date).  Was originally whatever default settings that came out of the box with 8.1.  Naptime is currently set to 60 seconds.
 
 Am I to assume that this probably isn't the result of some operating system or filesystem misfeasance and that corrupt data in my 'real' databases is probably not an issue?

Did you perchance connect to template0 (probably marking it as
connectable in the process), made some modification there, and then 
mark it as non-connectable again, without executing VACUUM FREEZE on it?
AFAICS we only execute VACUUM FREEZE on it, so we shouldn't leave any
unfrozen tuples.

Nope.  Have never touched template0...haven't made any changes to pg_hba.conf (which is how I assume you would make template0 connectable) until last night when we determined that template0 might be at fault and we were going to run pg_filedump on it to see if we could find anything useful.

I assume this is similar/identical to this issue:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2006-03/msg01294.php

Any ideas on how should I move forward?

Well, if the problem is indeed in pg_statistic, it'll be easy to repair
(think TRUNCATE...).  Have you turned up the logging level to find out?

BTW, please don't do anything to try to correct the problem until we're
pretty sure we understand how this happened --- we might ask you for
more info.  AFAICS this isn't having any bad effects except for bleats
in your log file, so you can wait.

We turned up the logging this morning.....(debug2) and are awaiting the issue to re-occur.  Will report back then.  Thanks.

Happened again...however this time not appearingly related to an autovacuum.  I have a past example of this almost identical event a few weeks ago.  Here's what the logs look like with debug2 as the log_min level:

pg_clog dir looks like this:
-rw-------  1 pgsql  wheel  262144 Jan 13 05:41 07DA

-rw-------  1 pgsql  wheel   90112 Jan 13 08:51 07DC

Now that table, audit_metadata, is a temporary table (when accessed by jboss as it is here).  There is a 'rea'l table with the same name, but only used by batch processes that connect to postgres.

Thoughts?

Really?  Wow, *that's* an interesting thought.  Is it likely that that
temp table could contain many-hour-old data?

This seems unrelated to your issue with autovacuum (which should never
touch a temp table, and certainly isn't going to find one in template0)
... but I suddenly fear that we've missed a fundamental point about
pg_clog truncation.  And WAL wraparound for that matter.  To wit, a
sufficiently long-lived temp table could contain old XIDs, and there's
no way for anyone except the owning backend to clean them out, or even
guarantee that they're marked committed.

Thoughts?

Certainly...our connection pool used by jboss can have connections to postgres persisting for multiple days.  (We're still looking for a way to tell it to recycle these occasionally).  As each 'user' of our web based app performs some action, they acquire one of the connection pool connections and set their user_id in the temporary table used by that connection (we use that for our audit triggers)  Once they are 'done' with the connection, the connection is just released back to the pool but not actually closed...so the temp table still contains the  data from a previous iteration.

After further thought I believe this is OK as of 8.2, because a temp
table's relfrozenxid is tracked independently of any other's.  (This
problem puts a stake through the heart of the recently-discussed idea
that a temp table might be able to get along without a globally visible
pg_class entry, however.)

But it seems that we need a band-aid for 8.1 and earlier.  The simplest
fix I can think of is for vacuum not to attempt to advance the
datvacuumxid/datfrozenxid fields if it skipped over any temp tables of
other backends.  That's a bit nasty, since in a database making heavy
use of temp tables, you might do a whole lot of vacuums without ever
meeting that condition.  Anyone have a better idea?

That seems nasty.  Can we examine the xmin of the pg_class entry for
temp tables instead?

No, because any sort of schema update on the temp table would rewrite
its pg_class row with a newer version.  You couldn't assume that the
pg_class row is older than what's in the table.  Consider this perfectly
reasonable scenario:

	CREATE TEMP TABLE foo ...
	COPY foo FROM ...
	CREATE INDEX ...		<- must set relhasindex

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms
@ 2023-01-17 04:38  Andres Freund <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 273+ messages in thread

From: Andres Freund @ 2023-01-17 04:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms
@ 2023-01-17 04:38  Andres Freund <[email protected]>

From: Andres Freund @ 2023-01-17 04:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms
@ 2023-01-17 04:38  Andres Freund <[email protected]>

From: Andres Freund @ 2023-01-17 04:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms
@ 2023-01-17 04:38  Andres Freund <[email protected]>

From: Andres Freund @ 2023-01-17 04:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms
@ 2023-01-17 04:38  Andres Freund <[email protected]>

From: Andres Freund @ 2023-01-17 04:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms
@ 2023-01-17 04:38  Andres Freund <[email protected]>

From: Andres Freund @ 2023-01-17 04:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms
@ 2023-01-17 04:38  Andres Freund <[email protected]>

From: Andres Freund @ 2023-01-17 04:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms
@ 2023-01-17 04:38  Andres Freund <[email protected]>

From: Andres Freund @ 2023-01-17 04:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms
@ 2023-01-17 04:38  Andres Freund <[email protected]>

From: Andres Freund @ 2023-01-17 04:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms
@ 2023-01-17 04:38  Andres Freund <[email protected]>

From: Andres Freund @ 2023-01-17 04:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms
@ 2023-01-17 04:38  Andres Freund <[email protected]>

From: Andres Freund @ 2023-01-17 04:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms
@ 2023-01-17 04:38  Andres Freund <[email protected]>

From: Andres Freund @ 2023-01-17 04:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms
@ 2023-01-17 04:38  Andres Freund <[email protected]>

From: Andres Freund @ 2023-01-17 04:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms
@ 2023-01-17 04:38  Andres Freund <[email protected]>

From: Andres Freund @ 2023-01-17 04:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms
@ 2023-01-17 04:38  Andres Freund <[email protected]>

From: Andres Freund @ 2023-01-17 04:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms
@ 2023-01-17 04:38  Andres Freund <[email protected]>

From: Andres Freund @ 2023-01-17 04:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms
@ 2023-01-17 04:38  Andres Freund <[email protected]>

From: Andres Freund @ 2023-01-17 04:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms
@ 2023-01-17 04:38  Andres Freund <[email protected]>

From: Andres Freund @ 2023-01-17 04:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms
@ 2023-01-17 04:38  Andres Freund <[email protected]>

From: Andres Freund @ 2023-01-17 04:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms
@ 2023-01-17 04:38  Andres Freund <[email protected]>

From: Andres Freund @ 2023-01-17 04:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms
@ 2023-01-17 04:38  Andres Freund <[email protected]>

From: Andres Freund @ 2023-01-17 04:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms
@ 2023-01-17 04:38  Andres Freund <[email protected]>

From: Andres Freund @ 2023-01-17 04:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms
@ 2023-01-17 04:38  Andres Freund <[email protected]>

From: Andres Freund @ 2023-01-17 04:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms
@ 2023-01-17 04:38  Andres Freund <[email protected]>

From: Andres Freund @ 2023-01-17 04:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms
@ 2023-01-17 04:38  Andres Freund <[email protected]>

From: Andres Freund @ 2023-01-17 04:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms
@ 2023-01-17 04:38  Andres Freund <[email protected]>

From: Andres Freund @ 2023-01-17 04:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms
@ 2023-01-17 04:38  Andres Freund <[email protected]>

From: Andres Freund @ 2023-01-17 04:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms
@ 2023-01-17 04:38  Andres Freund <[email protected]>

From: Andres Freund @ 2023-01-17 04:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms
@ 2023-01-17 04:38  Andres Freund <[email protected]>

From: Andres Freund @ 2023-01-17 04:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms
@ 2023-01-17 04:38  Andres Freund <[email protected]>

From: Andres Freund @ 2023-01-17 04:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms
@ 2023-01-17 04:38  Andres Freund <[email protected]>

From: Andres Freund @ 2023-01-17 04:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms
@ 2023-01-17 04:38  Andres Freund <[email protected]>

From: Andres Freund @ 2023-01-17 04:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms
@ 2023-01-17 04:38  Andres Freund <[email protected]>

From: Andres Freund @ 2023-01-17 04:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms
@ 2023-01-17 04:38  Andres Freund <[email protected]>

From: Andres Freund @ 2023-01-17 04:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms
@ 2023-01-17 04:38  Andres Freund <[email protected]>

From: Andres Freund @ 2023-01-17 04:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms
@ 2023-01-17 04:38  Andres Freund <[email protected]>

From: Andres Freund @ 2023-01-17 04:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms
@ 2023-01-17 04:38  Andres Freund <[email protected]>

From: Andres Freund @ 2023-01-17 04:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms
@ 2023-01-17 04:38  Andres Freund <[email protected]>

From: Andres Freund @ 2023-01-17 04:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms
@ 2023-01-17 04:38  Andres Freund <[email protected]>

From: Andres Freund @ 2023-01-17 04:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms
@ 2023-01-17 04:38  Andres Freund <[email protected]>

From: Andres Freund @ 2023-01-17 04:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms
@ 2023-01-17 04:38  Andres Freund <[email protected]>

From: Andres Freund @ 2023-01-17 04:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms
@ 2023-01-17 04:38  Andres Freund <[email protected]>

From: Andres Freund @ 2023-01-17 04:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms
@ 2023-01-17 04:38  Andres Freund <[email protected]>

From: Andres Freund @ 2023-01-17 04:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms
@ 2023-01-17 04:38  Andres Freund <[email protected]>

From: Andres Freund @ 2023-01-17 04:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms
@ 2023-01-17 04:38  Andres Freund <[email protected]>

From: Andres Freund @ 2023-01-17 04:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms
@ 2023-01-17 04:38  Andres Freund <[email protected]>

From: Andres Freund @ 2023-01-17 04:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms
@ 2023-01-17 04:38  Andres Freund <[email protected]>

From: Andres Freund @ 2023-01-17 04:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms
@ 2023-01-17 04:38  Andres Freund <[email protected]>

From: Andres Freund @ 2023-01-17 04:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms
@ 2023-01-17 04:38  Andres Freund <[email protected]>

From: Andres Freund @ 2023-01-17 04:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms
@ 2023-01-17 04:38  Andres Freund <[email protected]>

From: Andres Freund @ 2023-01-17 04:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms
@ 2023-01-17 04:38  Andres Freund <[email protected]>

From: Andres Freund @ 2023-01-17 04:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms
@ 2023-01-17 04:38  Andres Freund <[email protected]>

From: Andres Freund @ 2023-01-17 04:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.

* [PATCH v8 2/5] instr_time: Represent time as an int64 on all platforms

Until now we used struct timespec on all platforms but windows. Using struct
timespe causes a fair bit of memory (struct timeval is 16 bytes) and runtime
overhead (much more complicated additions). Instead we can convert the time to
nanoseconds in INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), making the remaining operations
cheaper.

Representing time as int64 nanoseconds provides sufficient range, ~292 years
relative to a starting point (depending on clock source, relative to the unix
epoch or the system's boot time). That'd not be sufficient for calendar time
stored on disk, but is plenty for runtime interval time measurement.

On windows instr_time already is represented as cycles. It might make sense to
represent time as cycles on other platforms as well, as using cycle
acquisition instructions like rdtsc directly can reduce the overhead of time
acquisition substantially. This could be done in a fairly localized manner as
the code stands after this commit.

Because the windows and non-windows paths are now more similar, use a common
set of macros. To make that possible, most of the use of LARGE_INTEGER had to
be removed, which looks nicer anyway.

To avoid users of the API relying on the integer representation, we wrap the
64bit integer inside struct struct instr_time.
