Fixes #83.

SELECT sum(i) FROM generate_series(1, 100000000) t(i) took 11.4s — slower than C Postgres (8.6s) and ~110x slower than DuckDB/ClickHouse. Three commits: the fix, and the two general costs the investigation turned up underneath it.

1. Fold plain aggregates straight off generate_series

FunctionNext is C-exact, so the first pull drains the whole SRF into a Tuplestore — 100M heap tuples, spilled to disk past work_mem — and every later pull reads one tuple back out. The store buys backward scans, rescans and WITH ORDINALITY; a one-pass plain aggregate uses none of them.

nodefunctionscan::series recognises a generate_series(int4|int8) scan and generates its values in batches instead. The SRF's own GenerateSeries*::new still opens the feed, so argument evaluation, the strict-NULL contract and the step-zero 22023 are unchanged and land at the same point in the pull. Only the emission loop is new, and it is a counted form rather than the per-value state machine, so the batch loop carries no branch. matches_srf_state_machine pins the two against each other over the direction, inexact-span and next-value-overflow corners at six batch grains.

lanev2::series_fold consumes it: an AGG_PLAIN node folds each staged batch through lanefold::fold_batch, the same kernel the heap plain-fold feed runs.

Everything outside the admitted shape refuses and falls through to the unchanged store path — WITH ORDINALITY, ROWS FROM, a qual or projection on the scan, EXPLAIN ANALYZE, backward-capable scans, FILTERed/guarded/residual transitions, GROUP BY, and any non-aggregate consumer. Every refusal point sits before the arguments are evaluated, so a volatile argument is never evaluated twice; a rescan replays the retained generator rather than re-running the SRF, which is what C's chgParam-NULL rescan does with the store.

Knob PGRUST_LANE_V2_SERIESFOLD, default ON; =0/off byte-restores the store path.

2. Carry SRF user_fctx the way fn_extra is already carried

FuncCallContext::user_fctx was Option<Box<dyn Any>>, so every row of every value-per-call SRF — generate_series, unnest, regexp_matches, json_each, pg_prepared_xacts, … — paid a vtable load, an indirect type_id() call and a 128-bit TypeId compare to reach its own state, against C's single pointer read.

The fmgr layer had already refuted exactly this shape one level up: FnExtra carries FmgrInfo::fn_extra as a thin pointer whose pointee leads with (TypeId, dropper). user_fctx now reuses it rather than minting a second carrier, and call sites read through user_fctx_mut::<T>() / user_fctx_ref::<T>() — one line replacing a six-line chain with two hand-written .expect strings.

This is a real per-row cost removed from every SRF, but it is not the general-case gap to C. The SRF call is ~3ns of a ~37ns row; the rest is the tuplestore's form-tuple/write/read-back. That gap is still unattributed and is recorded as such in the commit.

3. Reduce dense batches with a counted loop, not a bit-scan

for_each_row walks the selection bitmap with trailing_zeros and folds through a loop-carried scalar accumulator with a per-row isnull branch. Right for a sparse selection; pure overhead when every row is selected — an unqualified all-visible page, a kernel qual that passed everything, or a generated lane.

When the selection words are a dense prefix, the kernels now run a counted loop over pre-sliced lanes, with null handling as a select of the identity rather than a branch. No surviving bounds check, no control dependence in the body, so the vectorizer emits the SIMD reduction — the shape DuckDB and ClickHouse sum a non-nullable column with.

Bit-exactness under reassociation is the safety argument, since the vectorizer splits the reduction into per-lane partials: i64/i128 wrapping add is the mod-2^N ring and integer min/max are associative and commutative (the same fact CseGroup's derivation already rests on). Integer lanes only — lane_value dereferences the datum for the VarLen widths, and the branchless form reads every row including null ones.

Arms: base_sum, sum_selected, CountAny, integer Min/Max. dense_kernels_alias_the_sparse_walk pins each against its own former body across three widths, four transforms, six prefix lengths spanning word boundaries, nulls at both ends and interior, and lane values sitting on the type bounds so a min/max candidate can be the operator's own identity.

Not series-specific: every lane fold over an unqualified all-visible batch takes it.

Numbers

Local: this laptop (Apple silicon), -Copt-level=3, no LTO, single-threaded, in-process wire path. Not fleet numbers — official numbers come from release/dist on Graviton, and the cross-engine rows below were measured on the issue reporter's box, so treat the comparison as indicative rather than a claim.

SELECT sum(i) FROM generate_series(1, 100000000) t(i):

pgrust v0.2 (issue) 11,397 ms
PostgreSQL 17.7 (issue) 8,651 ms
DuckDB 1.5.5 (issue) 103 ms (~1.7 threads)
ClickHouse (issue) 99 ms (multi-threaded)
this branch 59 ms (single-threaded)

Component measurements, each an interleaved A/B of two saved binaries, min of 7:

before after
SRF value-per-call path (20M calls, no store, no executor) 4.15 ns/row 3.06 ns/row −26%
count(*) over 4M through the store path 149.5 ms 146.9 ms −1.7%
Fold kernel, 291-row int4 heap-page batch 1.55 ns/row 0.31 ns/row 4.9x
sum(i) over 100M end to end 163 ms 59 ms 2.76x

The fold-kernel record is reproducible as the ignored lanefold test dense_arm_vs_walk.

Scope left open

The fix covers plain aggregates over generate_series. SELECT * FROM generate_series(...), or one feeding a join or sort, still goes through the tuplestore — which is where the remaining gap to C lives. Multi-threading the series (it is trivially morselizable by index range) is untouched.

Verification

6166 workspace unit tests pass. Two fail — adt_float::math_domains_and_live_pg_values and session::tls_source_census_and_session_surface_are_pinned — both fail identically on a clean checkout of main; the float one is a macOS erf() last-ULP difference against a Linux golden. I could not run the regression suite end to end: it needs a C PG 18 initdb'd data directory and only PG 14/17 were available here, so the SQL-level evidence is the in-process wire-path tests (simple_query_count_sum_over_generate_series and friends) rather than a regress run.

`SELECT sum(i) FROM generate_series(1, 100000000)` took 11.4s — slower
than C Postgres (8.6s) and ~110x slower than DuckDB/ClickHouse. The cost
is not the arithmetic. FunctionNext is C-exact, so the first pull drains
the whole SRF into a Tuplestore — 100M heap tuples, spilled to disk past
work_mem — and every later pull reads one tuple back out. The store buys
backward scans, rescans and WITH ORDINALITY; a one-pass plain aggregate
uses none of them.

nodefunctionscan::series recognises a `generate_series(int4|int8)` scan
and generates its values in batches instead. The SRF's own
`GenerateSeries*::new` still opens the feed, so argument evaluation, the
strict-NULL contract (an empty set, never a row) and the step-zero 22023
are unchanged and land at the same point in the pull. Only the emission
loop is new, and it is a counted form (`series_len`) rather than the
per-value state machine, so the batch loop carries no branch and
vectorizes. `matches_srf_state_machine` pins the two against each other
over the direction, inexact-span and next-value-overflow corners at six
batch grains.

lanev2::series_fold consumes it: an AGG_PLAIN node folds each staged
batch through `lanefold::fold_batch` — the same kernel the heap
plain-fold feed runs. Admission pins the one thing a one-column
synthetic lane can get wrong that a staged heap batch cannot: every lane
read must be column 0, at the generator's own datum width.

Everything outside the admitted shape refuses and falls through to the
unchanged store path — WITH ORDINALITY, ROWS FROM, a qual or projection
on the scan, EXPLAIN ANALYZE, backward-capable scans, FILTERed, guarded
or residual transitions, GROUP BY, and any non-aggregate consumer. Every
refusal point sits before the arguments are evaluated, so a volatile
argument is never evaluated twice; a rescan replays the retained
generator rather than re-running the SRF, which is what C's
chgParam-NULL rescan does with the store.

Local measurement — this laptop, -Copt-level=3, no LTO, single-threaded,
in-process wire path; not a fleet number (official numbers come from
release/dist on Graviton). sum over generate_series(1, 100000000):
11,397ms on the issue's box -> 164ms here. Below the spill threshold,
where the old path is purely in-memory, the A/B at 100k rows is
74ms -> 7ms.

Knob PGRUST_LANE_V2_SERIESFOLD, default ON; the permanent `=0`/`off`
spelling is the kill switch and byte-restores the store path.

`FuncCallContext::user_fctx` was `Option<Box<dyn Any>>`, so every row of
every value-per-call SRF — generate_series, unnest, regexp_matches,
json_each, pg_prepared_xacts, … — paid a vtable load, an indirect
`type_id()` call and a 128-bit TypeId compare to reach its own state,
against C's single pointer read through `funcctx->user_fctx`.

The fmgr layer already refuted exactly this shape one level up: FnExtra
(types/fmgr/src/fcinfo.rs) carries FmgrInfo::fn_extra as a thin pointer
whose pointee leads with (TypeId, dropper), so a hit is a dependent load
plus a debug-only compare — its own doc measures the Box<dyn Any> form at
~35-45 insns against C's 4. user_fctx never got the same treatment; it
does now, reusing FnExtra rather than minting a second carrier.

Call sites read through the new `user_fctx_mut::<T>()` /
`user_fctx_ref::<T>()` and write through `set_user_fctx`, which replaces
a six-line chain carrying two hand-written `.expect` strings with one
line whose panic names the expected type.

Microbenchmark of the value-per-call path alone (fmgr dispatch +
multi-call frame + user_fctx read + srf_return_next, no tuplestore, no
executor), generate_series_int4 over 20M calls, min of 7, interleaved
A/B: 4.15ns/row -> 3.06ns/row, -26%.

End-to-end the win is small, and worth recording so the next reader does
not re-derive it: `count(*) FROM generate_series(1, 4000000)` through the
store path (series fold off, work_mem raised past the spill) moves
149.5ms -> 146.9ms, -1.7%. The SRF call is ~3ns of a ~37ns row; the rest
is the tuplestore's form-tuple/write/read-back. So this is a real cost
removed from every SRF, but it is NOT the general-case gap to C — that
gap lives in the store path, still unattributed.

`for_each_row` walks the selection bitmap with `trailing_zeros` and folds
through a loop-carried scalar accumulator with a per-row `isnull` branch.
That is the right shape for a SPARSE selection — a qual that kept a
scattered handful of a heap page — and pure overhead when every row is
selected, which is the common case: an unqualified all-visible page, a
kernel qual that passed everything, or a generated lane (series_fold).

When the selection words are a dense PREFIX, run a counted loop over the
value slice instead. Two things make it vectorize where the walk cannot:
the trip count is known and the slices are pre-sliced, so no per-row
bounds check survives; and null handling becomes a SELECT of the additive
(or min/max) identity rather than a branch, so the body carries no
control dependence. That is the shape DuckDB and ClickHouse sum a
non-nullable column with — several SIMD accumulators combined at the end
— and it is what the ~100x gap on issue malisper#83 was actually made of once the
tuplestore was gone.

Bit-exactness under reassociation is the whole safety argument, because
the vectorizer WILL split the reduction into per-lane partials: i64/i128
wrapping add is the mod-2^N ring and integer min/max are associative and
commutative (the same fact CseGroup's derivation already rests on), and
every folded value is one C's checked per-row evaluation also produces
(guard-passed batch, caller contract). Integer lanes only: `lane_value`
dereferences the datum for the VarLen widths, and the branchless form
reads every row including null ones — sound for a datum-word read, UB for
a pointer one. VarLen and datum-lane widths keep the walk, which could
not vectorize anyway.

Arms: base_sum, sum_selected, CountAny, and integer Min/Max.
`dense_kernels_alias_the_sparse_walk` pins each against its own former
body across three widths, four transforms, six prefix lengths spanning
word boundaries, nulls at both ends and interior, and lane values sitting
ON the type bounds (so a min/max candidate can be the operator's own
identity); `dense_prefix_recognises_exactly_the_prefixes` pins the split.

Measurements (local, -Copt-level=3, no LTO, single-threaded; not fleet
numbers). Fold kernel at heap-page grain, 291-row int4 lane, the record
kept as the ignored `dense_arm_vs_walk`: 1.55ns/row -> 0.31ns/row, 4.9x.
End to end, sum over generate_series(1, 100000000): 163ms -> 59ms, 2.76x
— for reference DuckDB 1.5.5 and ClickHouse report 103ms and 99ms on the
issue's box, both multi-threaded.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds a generate_series batch-fold execution path, dense lane reductions, and typed SRF user-context APIs. Existing SRF implementations migrate to the new typed storage methods.

Changes

Series folding and lane execution

Layer / File(s) Summary
Series feed production
crates/backend/executor/nodefunctionscan/..., crates/backend/utils/adt/int*, Cargo.toml
The function scan executor recognizes eligible int4 and int8 generate_series calls. It emits batches, supports replay, and retains tuplestore fallback behavior.
Dense-prefix lane reductions
crates/backend/executor/lanefold/src/lib.rs, crates/backend/executor/lanefold/src/tests.rs
Sum, transformed sum, base sum, count, min, and max use counted reductions for contiguous prefixes. Sparse selections retain the existing path.
Series-fold admission and dispatch
crates/backend/executor/execmain/..., crates/backend/executor/execmain/src/procnode.rs
Plain aggregates over eligible function scans use the series-fold path. Unsupported shapes record SeriesShape and use the existing execution path.

Typed SRF context migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Typed SRF context API
crates/backend/utils/fmgr/funcapi_srf/src/lib.rs, crates/backend/utils/fmgr/funcapi/src/tests.rs
FuncCallContext stores state in FnExtra and provides typed setter, mutable accessor, and shared accessor methods.
SRF state call-site migration
crates/backend/access/..., crates/backend/catalog/..., crates/backend/tsearch/..., crates/backend/utils/adt/..., crates/contrib/...
Set-returning functions use typed SRF context helpers instead of direct boxing, optional-state checks, and runtime downcasts. Row iteration behavior remains unchanged.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 24e03

The new dense aggregate path can abort affected queries when a null integer row is combined with a division-by-negative-one transform and an i64::MIN value. Merge should wait for null masking to occur before the transform and for regression coverage of this case.

109-121: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Consider a release-mode assert on the column index.

col_values and col_isnull ignore c in release builds and return column 0 for any index. The whole safety argument for this synthetic lane is that admission pins every read to column 0. If a future series_plan_admits change lets a second column through, the fold silently reads column 0 instead of failing.

The check runs once per column per batch, not per row, so a hard assert_eq! costs nothing measurable.

Add divk == -1 to the parity matrix.

The divk set is [1, 3, -2]. None of these can overflow the division. divk == -1 with an i64::MIN lane value is the one divisor that makes v / divk panic, and it is also the case the dense arm evaluates on null rows (see the dense_sum comment in crates/backend/executor/lanefold/src/lib.rs at Lines 1865-1896). Add it so the dense arm and the sparse walk are pinned to the same behavior for that divisor.

The dense kernels apply the affine transform before discarding null rows. Both dense reductions compute the transformed value for every row and only then select the operator identity for null rows. The transform contains a division, so a null row's unspecified datum word reaches / divk, and i64::MIN / -1 panics in Rust. The sparse walk divides only selected non-null values, so the dense arm can abort a fold the walk completes.

  • crates/backend/executor/lanefold/src/lib.rs#L1865-L1896: in reduce!, select the raw value first (if nul { 0 } else { raw }), then apply $post, so the divide never sees a null row's word.
  • crates/backend/executor/lanefold/src/lib.rs#L1911-L1928: in dense_minmax, mask int_lane_value(*d, width) before calling xform, or move xform inside the identity select.
  • crates/backend/executor/lanefold/src/tests.rs#L5181-L5187: add divk == -1 to the parity matrix, with an i64::MIN lane value at a null position, so the dense arm and the sparse walk are pinned for the overflowing divisor.

In `@crates/backend/executor/lanefold/src/lib.rs` around lines 1865 - 1896, Update
dense_sum’s reduce! macro to select the raw value before applying $post,
ensuring null rows never reach the division while retaining the additive
identity. In dense_minmax, mask int_lane_value(*d, width) before xform or move
xform inside the identity selection. In
crates/backend/executor/lanefold/src/tests.rs lines 5181-5187, add divk == -1
with an i64::MIN value at a null position to the parity matrix; both lib.rs
sites require changes.
