Michael Paquier 4e8edf53f9 Fix procLatch ownership race in ProcKill()
DisownLatch() was executed after the PGPROC entry of the process
terminated is pushed back into a freelist.  A newly-forked backend that
recycles the slot could call OwnLatch() and PANIC with a "latch already
owned by PID", taking down the server.

There were two scenarios related to lock groups where this issue could
be reached:
* A follower pushes the leader's PGPROC back to the freelist while the
leader has not yet called DisownLatch() in its own ProcKill().
* A leader outliving all its followers pushes its own PGPROC onto the
freelist before reaching DisownLatch(), which would be the most common
scenario.

This issue is fixed by calling SwitchBackToLocalLatch() and
DisownLatch() at an earlier phase of ProcKill(), before any freelist
manipulation happens, so that the slot of the backend terminated is
never exposed as owning a latch.

Note that pgstat_reset_wait_event_storage() is kept at a later stage.
An upcoming commit will take advantage of that by introducing a test
able to check the original PANIC scenario.

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/.
