Tom Lane b82eabec30 Reduce overhead of cache-clobber testing in LookupOpclassInfo().
Commit 03ffc4d6d added logic to bypass all caching behavior in
LookupOpclassInfo when CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS is enabled.  It doesn't
look like I stopped to think much about what that would cost, but
recent investigation shows that the cost is enormous: it roughly
doubles the time needed for cache-clobber test runs.

There does seem to be value in this behavior when trying to test
the opclass-cache loading logic itself, but for other purposes the
cost is excessive.  Hence, let's back off to doing this only when
debug_invalidate_system_caches_always is at least 3; or in older
branches, when CLOBBER_CACHE_RECURSIVELY is defined.

While here, clean up some other minor issues in LookupOpclassInfo.
Re-order the code so we aren't left with broken cache entries (leading
to later core dumps) in the unlikely case that we suffer OOM while
trying to allocate space for a new entry.  (That seems to be my
oversight in 03ffc4d6d.)  Also, in >= v13, stop allocating one array
entry too many.  That's evidently left over from sloppy reversion in
851b14b0c.

Back-patch to all supported branches, mainly to reduce the runtime
of cache-clobbering buildfarm animals.

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

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

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

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

	https://www.postgresql.org/download

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

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