Tom Lane a8b7424684 Be more rigorous about local variables in PostgresMain().
Since PostgresMain calls sigsetjmp, any local variables that are not
marked "volatile" have a risk of unspecified behavior.  In practice
this means that when control returns via longjmp, such variables might
get reset to their values as of the time of sigsetjmp, depending on
whether the compiler chose to put them in registers or on the stack.
We were careful about this for "send_ready_for_query", but not the
other local variables.

In the case of the timeout_enabled flags, resetting them to
their initial "false" states is actually good, since we do
"disable_all_timeouts()" in the longjmp cleanup code path.  If that
does not happen, we risk uselessly calling "disable_timeout()" later,
which is harmless but a little bit expensive.  Let's explicitly reset
these flags so that the behavior is correct and platform-independent.
(This change means that we really don't need the new "volatile"
markings after all, but let's install them anyway since any change
in this logic could re-introduce a problem.)

There is no issue for "firstchar" and "input_message" because those
are explicitly reinitialized each time through the query processing
loop.  To make that clearer, move them to be declared inside the loop.
That leaves us with all the function-lifespan locals except the
sigjmp_buf itself marked as volatile, which seems like a good policy
to have going forward.

Because of the possibility of extra disable_timeout() calls, this
seems worth back-patching.

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/.
