These subsystems have some complicating properties, making them slightly harder to convert than most: - The initialization callbacks of some of these subsystems have dependencies, i.e. they need to be initialized in the right order. - The ProcGlobal pointer still needs to be inherited by the BackendParameters mechanism on EXEC_BACKEND builds, because ProcGlobal is required by InitProcess() to get a PGPROC entry, and the PGPROC entry is required to use LWLocks, and usually attaching to shared memory areas requires the use of LWLocks. - Similarly, ProcSignal pointer still needs to be handled by BackendParameters, because query cancellation connections access it without calling InitProcess Reviewed-by: Ashutosh Bapat <ashutosh.bapat.oss@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Matthias van de Meent <boekewurm+postgres@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Daniel Gustafsson <daniel@yesql.se> Discussion: https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/CAExHW5vM1bneLYfg0wGeAa=52UiJ3z4vKd3AJ72X8Fw6k3KKrg@mail.gmail.com
