Tom Lane 2ddb9149d1 Server-side fix for delayed NOTIFY and SIGTERM processing.
Commit 4f85fde8e introduced some code that was meant to ensure that we'd
process cancel, die, sinval catchup, and notify interrupts while waiting
for client input.  But there was a flaw: it supposed that the process
latch would be set upon arrival at secure_read() if any such interrupt
was pending.  In reality, we might well have cleared the process latch
at some earlier point while those flags remained set -- particularly
notifyInterruptPending, which can't be handled as long as we're within
a transaction.

To fix the NOTIFY case, also attempt to process signals (except
ProcDiePending) before trying to read.

Also, if we see that ProcDiePending is set before we read, forcibly set the
process latch to ensure that we will handle that signal promptly if no data
is available.  I also made it set the process latch on the way out, in case
there is similar logic elsewhere.  (It remains true that we won't service
ProcDiePending here unless we need to wait for input.)

The code for handling ProcDiePending during a write needs those changes,
too.

Also be a little more careful about when to reset whereToSendOutput,
and improve related comments.

Back-patch to 9.5 where this code was added.  I'm not entirely convinced
that older branches don't have similar issues, but the complaint at hand
is just about the >= 9.5 code.

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:

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