I created a commitfest entry https://commitfest.postgresql.org/38/3607/.
Thanks for your review.

Are you proposing that the test_dsa module should be added to the

Yes, I think test_dsa is very helpful and necessary to develop dsa related
features. I have removed the HAVE_INT64_TIMESTAMP related code.
Most of the code for test_dsa comes from your patch[1] and I add some
test cases.

In addition, I add a few OOM test cases that allocate a fixed size of
memory
until the memory overflows, run it twice and compare the amount of memory
they allocate. These cases will fail on the current master branch.
