For many queries the fact that the tuple descriptor from the lower node was not taken into account when determining whether the type of a slot is fixed, lead to tuple deforming for such upper nodes not to be JIT accelerated. I broke this in 675af5c01e297. There is ongoing work to enable writing regression tests for related behavior (including a patch that would have detected this regression), by optionally showing such details in EXPLAIN. But as it seems unlikely that that will be suitable for stable branches, just merge the fix for now. While it's fairly close to the 12 release window, the fact that 11 continues to perform JITed tuple deforming in these cases, that there's still cases where we do so in 12, and the fact that the performance regression can be sizable, weigh in favor of fixing it now.

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.
