commit f259fcc00a04e633a7a64f894a719f78f3644867 Author: Willy Tarreau Date: Mon Aug 26 10:37:39 2019 +0200 BUG/MINOR: mworker: disable SIGPROF on re-exec If haproxy is built with profiling enabled with -pg, it is possible to see the master quit during a reload while it's re-executing itself with error code 155 (signal 27) saying "Profile timer expired)". This happens if the SIGPROF signal is delivered during the execve() call while the handler was already unregistered. The issue itself is not directly inside haproxy but it's easy to address. This patch disables this signal before calling execvp() during a master reload. A simple test for this consists in running this little script with haproxy started in master-worker mode : $ while usleep 50000; do killall -USR2 haproxy; done This fix should be backported to all versions using the master-worker model.
