Thomas Munro 422952ee78 Allow DSM allocation to be interrupted.
Chris Travers reported that the startup process can repeatedly try to
cancel a backend that is in a posix_fallocate()/EINTR loop and cause it
to loop forever.  Teach the retry loop to give up if an interrupt is
pending.  Don't actually check for interrupts in that loop though,
because a non-local exit would skip some clean-up code in the caller.

Back-patch to 9.4 where DSM was added (and posix_fallocate() was later
back-patched).

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/.
