A backtrace for this would be useful. Alternatively you could recompile
postgres using -fno-omit-frame-pointer in CFLAGS and use perf record -g.

Any chance you have older prepared xacts, older sessions or something
like that around? I'd expect heap_prune* to be present in workloads that
spend significant time in heap_hot_search_buffer...

Greetings,
