33 * System interrupt and critical section handling
35 * There are two types of interrupts that a running backend needs to accept
36 * without messing up its state: QueryCancel (SIGINT) and ProcDie (SIGTERM).
37 * In both cases, we need to be able to clean up the current transaction
38 * gracefully, so we can't respond to the interrupt instantaneously ---
39 * there's no guarantee that internal data structures would be self-consistent
40 * if the code is interrupted at an arbitrary instant. Instead, the signal
41 * handlers set flags that are checked periodically during execution.
43 * The CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() macro is called at strategically located spots
44 * where it is normally safe to accept a cancel or die interrupt. In some
45 * cases, we invoke CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() inside low-level subroutines that
46 * might sometimes be called in contexts that do *not* want to allow a cancel
47 * or die interrupt. The HOLD_INTERRUPTS() and RESUME_INTERRUPTS() macros
48 * allow code to ensure that no cancel or die interrupt will be accepted,
49 * even if CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() gets called in a subroutine. The interrupt
50 * will be held off until CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() is done outside any
51 * HOLD_INTERRUPTS() ... RESUME_INTERRUPTS() section.
53 * Special mechanisms are used to let an interrupt be accepted when we are
54 * waiting for a lock or when we are waiting for command input (but, of
55 * course, only if the interrupt holdoff counter is zero). See the
56 * related code for details.
58 * A related, but conceptually distinct, mechanism is the "critical section"
59 * mechanism. A critical section not only holds off cancel/die interrupts,
60 * but causes any ereport(ERROR) or ereport(FATAL) to become ereport(PANIC)
61 * --- that is, a system-wide reset is forced. Needless to say, only really
62 * *critical* code should be marked as a critical section! Currently, this
63 * mechanism is only used for XLOG-related code.

282 * The first two processing modes are used during special times. When the

284 * transaction id "one" and are consequently guaranteed to commit. This mode
285 * is used during the initial generation of template databases.
287 * Initialization mode: used while starting a backend, until all normal
288 * initialization is complete. Some code behaves differently when executed
289 * in this mode to enable system bootstrapping.
291 * If a POSTGRES binary is in normal mode, then all code may be executed
292 * normally.
