Tom Lane 0bf8eb2a15 Fix walsender processes to establish a SIGALRM handler.
Walsenders must have working SIGALRM handling during InitPostgres,
but they set the handler to SIG_IGN so that nothing would happen
if a timeout was reached.  This could result in two failure modes:

* If a walsender participated in a deadlock during its authentication
transaction, and was the last to wait in the deadly embrace, the deadlock
would not get cleared automatically.  This would require somebody to be
trying to take out AccessExclusiveLock on multiple system catalogs, so
it's not very probable.

* If a client failed to respond to a walsender's authentication challenge,
the intended disconnect after AuthenticationTimeout wouldn't happen, and
the walsender would wait indefinitely for the client.

For the moment, fix in back branches only, since this is fixed in a
different way in the timeout-infrastructure patch that's awaiting
application to HEAD.  If we choose not to apply that, then we'll need
to do this in HEAD as well.

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:

	http://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.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  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
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
