|
|
|
* System interrupt and critical section handling
|
2001-01-14 06:08:17 +01:00
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* 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
|
2001-03-22 05:01:46 +01:00
|
|
|
* if the code is interrupted at an arbitrary instant. Instead, the signal
|
2001-01-14 06:08:17 +01:00
|
|
|
* 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
|
2001-01-19 23:08:47 +01:00
|
|
|
* or die interrupt. The HOLD_INTERRUPTS() and RESUME_INTERRUPTS() macros
|
|
|
|
* allow code to ensure that no cancel or die interrupt will be accepted,
|
2001-03-22 05:01:46 +01:00
|
|
|
* even if CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() gets called in a subroutine. The interrupt
|
2002-01-02 00:16:22 +01:00
|
|
|
* will be held off until CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() is done outside any
|
|
|
|
* HOLD_INTERRUPTS() ... RESUME_INTERRUPTS() section.
|
2001-01-14 06:08:17 +01:00
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* Special mechanisms are used to let an interrupt be accepted when we are
|
2001-09-29 06:02:27 +02:00
|
|
|
* waiting for a lock or when we are waiting for command input (but, of
|
2001-10-25 07:50:21 +02:00
|
|
|
* course, only if the interrupt holdoff counter is zero). See the
|
2001-01-14 06:08:17 +01:00
|
|
|
* related code for details.
|
|
|
|
*
|
2001-01-19 23:08:47 +01:00
|
|
|
* A related, but conceptually distinct, mechanism is the "critical section"
|
|
|
|
* mechanism. A critical section not only holds off cancel/die interrupts,
|
2003-07-27 19:10:07 +02:00
|
|
|
* but causes any ereport(ERROR) or ereport(FATAL) to become ereport(PANIC)
|
2003-08-04 02:43:34 +02:00
|
|
|
* --- that is, a system-wide reset is forced. Needless to say, only really
|
|
|
|
* *critical* code should be marked as a critical section! Currently, this
|
2003-07-27 19:10:07 +02:00
|
|
|
* mechanism is only used for XLOG-related code.
|

|
|
* Description:
|
2000-04-12 19:17:23 +02:00
|
|
|
* There are three processing modes in POSTGRES. They are
|
2001-01-14 06:08:17 +01:00
|
|
|
* BootstrapProcessing or "bootstrap," InitProcessing or
|
1996-10-31 08:10:14 +01:00
|
|
|
* "initialization," and NormalProcessing or "normal."
|
|
|
|
*
|
1999-10-06 23:58:18 +02:00
|
|
|
* The first two processing modes are used during special times. When the
|
1996-10-31 08:10:14 +01:00
|
|
|
* system state indicates bootstrap processing, transactions are all given
|
2001-01-14 06:08:17 +01:00
|
|
|
* transaction id "one" and are consequently guaranteed to commit. This mode
|
1996-10-31 08:10:14 +01:00
|
|
|
* is used during the initial generation of template databases.
|
|
|
|
*
|
2001-01-14 06:08:17 +01:00
|
|
|
* Initialization mode: used while starting a backend, until all normal
|
2001-03-22 05:01:46 +01:00
|
|
|
* initialization is complete. Some code behaves differently when executed
|
2001-01-14 06:08:17 +01:00
|
|
|
* in this mode to enable system bootstrapping.
|
1999-10-06 23:58:18 +02:00
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* If a POSTGRES binary is in normal mode, then all code may be executed
|
2000-04-12 19:17:23 +02:00
|
|
|
* normally.

Here is a patch for the above, including a documentation update. It
creates a new GUC variable "preload_libraries", that accepts a list in
the form:
preload_libraries = '$libdir/mylib1:initfunc,$libdir/mylib2'
If ":initfunc" is omitted or not found, no initialization function is
executed, but the library is still preloaded. If "$libdir/mylib" isn't
found, the postmaster refuses to start.
In my testing with PL/R, it reduces the first call to a PL/R function
(after connecting) from almost 2 seconds, down to about 8 ms.
