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: http://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 http://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.

Teach sigusr1_handler() to use the same test for whether a worker might need to be started as ServerLoop(). Aside from being perhaps a bit simpler, this prevents a potentially-unbounded delay when starting a background worker. On some platforms, select() doesn't return when interrupted by a signal, but is instead restarted, including a reset of the timeout to the originally-requested value. If signals arrive often enough, but no connection requests arrive, sigusr1_handler() will be executed repeatedly, but the body of ServerLoop() won't be reached. This change ensures that, even in that case, background workers will eventually get launched. This is far from a perfect fix; really, we need select() to return control to ServerLoop() after an interrupt, either via the self-pipe trick or some other mechanism. But that's going to require more work and discussion, so let's do this for now to at least mitigate the damage. Per investigation of test_shm_mq failures on buildfarm member anole.
