Fix orphan process is left when pgpool is going down.

When pgpool is going down while follow primary command is ongoing,
some process started by follow primary child process could be left.
The follow primary child calls trigger_failover_command() to run the
follow primary script by using system(3). Unfortunately the process
started by system(3) was not tracked by anyone and it was possible
that the process(es) are left. To reproduce the problem you can edit
the test script (test,sh) for the regression test
075.detach_primary_left_down to change the timeout counter to small
number, say 1. i.e.,
change:
cnt=60
to
cnt=1

To fix the problem, the follow primary child process calls setsid(2)
to set new session id. When Pgpool-II main goes down, the exit handler
kills all the process including the process started by system(3), by
specifying kill(-(follow primary child process pid)).

Also in the initialization of the follow primary process, unmask
signals and assign default behavior to each signal (this should have
been done much earlier).

Fix pcp_detach_node leaves down node.

Detaching primary node using pcp_detach_node leaves a standby node

$ pgpool_setup -n 4

2021-06-05 07:22:17: pcp_child pid 7027: DETAIL:  failback is in progress

it complains that a failback request is still going. The reason why the
failback is not completed is, find_primary_node_repeatedly() is trying
to acquire the follow primary lock. However the follow primary command
has already acquired the lock and it is waiting for the completion of
the failback request. Thus this is a kind of dead lock situation.

How to solve this?

The purpose of the follow primary lock is to prevent concurrent run of
follow primary command and detach false primary by the streaming
replication check. We cannot throw it away. However it is not always
necessary to acquire the lock by find_primary_node_repeatedly(). If
it does not try to acquire the lock, failover/failback will not be
blocked and will finish soon, thus Req_info->switching flags will be
promptly turned to false.

When a primary node is detached, failover command is called and new
primary is selected. At this point find_primary_node_repeatedly() is
surely needed to run to find the new primary. However, once follow
primary command starts, the primary will not be changed. So my idea
is, find_primary_node_repeatedly() checks whether follow primary
command is running or not. If it is running, just returns the current
primary. Otherwise acquires the lock.

For this purpose, new shared memory variable
Req_info->follow_primary_ongoing was introduced. The flag is set/unset
by follow primary process.

New regression test 075.detach_primary_left_down_node is added.

memory area. First it sets a message to the shared memory area then
sends SIGUSR1 to the main process. The main process received the
signal and the signal handler sets a global variable so that
sigusr1_interrupt_processor() processes it. However it is possible

arrives. In this case the new signal is caught but the global variable
is set to 0 after sigusr1_interrupt_processor() returns. This means
that the new message is not processed until new signal arrives, which
could cause significant delay before the message was processed.

To fix the problem, sigusr1_interrupt_processor() is repeatedly called

forked off by pgpool main process to execute follow_primary_command
script. The lock should be help until all follow_primary_command are

3) streaming replication check

Before starting verify_backend_node, which is the work horse of
detach_false_primary, the lock must be acquired. If it fails, just

Fix pgpool crash when query cache enabled.

Pgpool-II crashed upon receiving CloseComplete.
This only happened in other than streaming and logical replication mode.

The minimum test case is as follows:

'P' "S1" "SELECT 1" 0
'B' "P1" "S1" 0 0 0
'E' "P1" 0
'C' 'P' "P1"
'B' "P2" "S1" 0 0 0
'E' "P2" 0
'C' 'P' "P2"
'S'
'Y'
'X'

A query statement S1 is bound to portal P1 and P1 is closed. When
CommandComplete message arrives, CloseComplete() discard temp query
cache buffer corresponding to the query context. Unfortunately it
forgot to set NULL to query_context->temp_cache. So whnen next time
other portal P2 which was also bound to S1 is closed, CloseComplete()
tries to free memory which was already freed by previous
CloseComplete. This leads to a segfault.

Fix is set NULL to query_context->temp_cache when the CloseComplete()
is called.

The reason why in streaming and logical replication this does occur
is, unlike other mode, in these mode query_context->temp_cache is
already freed and set to NULL when CommandComplete arrives.

Also new regression test
074.bug700_memqcache_bug_segfault_at_close_complete is added.

Fix that query cache is not created in other than streaming and logical replication mode.

We used to create query cache in ReadyForQuery() in extended query
mode in other than streaming and logical replication mode. However if
following message sequence is sent from frontend, the query cache was
never created because pool_is_cache_safe() returns false in
pool_handle_query_cache(). Why? Because pool_is_cache_safe() examines
the current query context, and the current query context is for "END"
message.

'P' "" "BEGIN" 0
'B' "" "" 0 0 0
'E' "" 0
'P' "S1" "SELECT 1" 0
'B' "S1" "S1" 0 0 0
'E' "S1" 0
'P' "" "END" 0
'B' "" "" 0 0 0
'E' "" 0
'S'
'Y'
'X'

So this commit changes CommandComplete() so that
pool_handle_query_cache() gets called in not only streaming and
logical replication mode. pool_handle_query_cache() will create a
temporary query cache and it will be processed when next time
ReadyForQuery() is called for an END message.

I found the bug while taking care of:
https://www.pgpool.net/mantisbt/view.php?id=700

Note that if the transaction is ended by a simple query message "END",
the bug does not appear because extended query SELECT messages will be
followed by a SYNC message, which will produce a Ready for query
message, and ReadyForQuery() will happily register query cache since
this time pool_is_cache_safe() returns true.

I think this is a long standing bug. The reason why this was not found
earlier is, despite the similar message sequence is created by the JDBC
driver, CommandComplete() already handles in the way described above.

Fix follow_primary script creation in pgpool_setup.

There were some confusions in variable names due to recent language
fix.  This fixes some of "main" to "primary" which should be used in
streaming replication mode.

Fix bug child_max_connections is not respected if ERROR occurs.

When frontend aborts, the counter for child_max_connections is rewound
because ereport(ERROR) issues long jump. Fix is declaring the variable
with volatile qualifier. This is a long standing bug, probably since
child_max_connections was introduced.
