There's a very old race condition in our code to see whether a pre-existing
shared memory segment is still in use by a conflicting postmaster: it's
possible for the other postmaster to remove the segment in between our
shmctl() and shmat() calls. It's a narrow window, and there's no risk
unless both postmasters are using the same port number, but that's possible
during parallelized "make check" tests. (Note that while the TAP tests
take some pains to choose a randomized port number, pg_regress doesn't.)
If it does happen, we treated that as an unexpected case and errored out.
To fix, allow EINVAL to be treated as segment-not-present, and the same
for EIDRM on Linux. AFAICS, the considerations here are basically
identical to the checks for acceptable shmctl() failures, so I documented
and coded it that way.
While at it, adjust PGSharedMemoryAttach's API to remove its undocumented
dependency on UsedShmemSegAddr in favor of passing the attach address
explicitly. This makes it easier to be sure we're using a null shmaddr
when probing for segment conflicts (thus avoiding questions about what
EINVAL means). I don't think there was a bug there, but it required
fragile assumptions about the state of UsedShmemSegAddr during
PGSharedMemoryIsInUse.

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/.
