/*****************************************************************************
 *    System interrupt and critical section handling
 *
 * There are two types of interrupts that a running backend needs to accept
 * without messing up its state: QueryCancel (SIGINT) and ProcDie (SIGTERM).
 * In both cases, we need to be able to clean up the current transaction
 * gracefully, so we can't respond to the interrupt instantaneously ---
 * there's no guarantee that internal data structures would be self-consistent
 * if the code is interrupted at an arbitrary instant.  Instead, the signal
 * handlers set flags that are checked periodically during execution.
 *
 * The CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() macro is called at strategically located spots
 * where it is normally safe to accept a cancel or die interrupt.  In some
 * cases, we invoke CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() inside low-level subroutines that
 * might sometimes be called in contexts that do *not* want to allow a cancel
 * or die interrupt.  The HOLD_INTERRUPTS() and RESUME_INTERRUPTS() macros
 * allow code to ensure that no cancel or die interrupt will be accepted,
 * even if CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() gets called in a subroutine.  The interrupt
 * will be held off until CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() is done outside any
 * HOLD_INTERRUPTS() ... RESUME_INTERRUPTS() section.
 *
 * Special mechanisms are used to let an interrupt be accepted when we are
 * waiting for a lock or when we are waiting for command input (but, of
 * course, only if the interrupt holdoff counter is zero).  See the
 * related code for details.
 *
 * A lost connection is handled similarly, although the loss of connection
 * does not raise a signal, but is detected when we fail to write to the
 * socket. If there was a signal for a broken connection, we could make use of
 * it by setting ClientConnectionLost in the signal handler.
 *
 * A related, but conceptually distinct, mechanism is the "critical section"
 * mechanism.  A critical section not only holds off cancel/die interrupts,
 * but causes any ereport(ERROR) or ereport(FATAL) to become ereport(PANIC)
 * --- that is, a system-wide reset is forced.  Needless to say, only really
 * *critical* code should be marked as a critical section!  Currently, this
 * mechanism is only used for XLOG-related code.
