/*
 * The SIGUSR1 signal is multiplexed to support signaling multiple event
 * types. The specific reason is communicated via flags in shared memory.
 * We keep a boolean flag for each possible "reason", so that different
 * reasons can be signaled to a process concurrently.  (However, if the same
 * reason is signaled more than once nearly simultaneously, the process may
 * observe it only once.)
 *
 * Each process that wants to receive signals registers its process ID
 * in the ProcSignalSlots array. The array is indexed by ProcNumber to make
 * slot allocation simple, and to avoid having to search the array when you
 * know the ProcNumber of the process you're signaling.  (We do support
 * signaling without ProcNumber, but it's a bit less efficient.)
 *
 * The flags are actually declared as "volatile sig_atomic_t" for maximum
 * portability.  This should ensure that loads and stores of the flag
 * values are atomic, allowing us to dispense with any explicit locking.
 *
 * pss_signalFlags are intended to be set in cases where we don't need to
 * keep track of whether or not the target process has handled the signal,
 * but sometimes we need confirmation, as when making a global state change
 * that cannot be considered complete until all backends have taken notice
 * of it. For such use cases, we set a bit in pss_barrierCheckMask and then
 * increment the current "barrier generation"; when the new barrier generation
 * (or greater) appears in the pss_barrierGeneration flag of every process,
 * we know that the message has been received everywhere.
