Description:
------------
PHP-FPM is stopped, when it receive more than one SIGUSR2 in a short time.
 
The reason:
- On receiving SIGUSR2 php-fpm calls execvp(path, ...)
- Process starts. 
--  It inherit all opened handles.
--  But all signal handlers is reseted to SIG_DFL

So, if SIGUSR2 income before process change the signal handler, it will exit, because it's a default action on receiving SIGUSR2.

The bug is actual for all versions of PHP: 5.6, 7.0, 7.1.

The possible decision (in attached patch) is to block the signal before execvp(...), and unblock it after changing the signal handlers.

The attached patch solve the problem for all versions of PHP: 5.6, 7.0, 7.1.


Test script:
---------------
With a high probability, it may happened on send 2 reloads without any timeout:

# systemctl reload php71-fpm.service; systemctl reload php71-fpm.service

For greater reliability, the following script can be executed:

# for i in $(seq 1 100); do systemctl reload php71-fpm.service; done
 

Expected result:
----------------
# systemctl status php71-fpm.service

Let's start discussion in which way this bug can be fixed with a patch that uses sigprocmask() to block other reload signals during execvp() and early initialization.

Do not use it in production. Instead of simply dead processes you may get more peculiar state described in https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=76601
 [2018-07-11 08:28 UTC] mnikulin at plesk dot com
It seems that combining the attached patch with the one from https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=76601 helps in the case of concurrent reload SIGUSR2 signals. At least it may be considered as quick plumbing.
 [2018-10-16 04:53 UTC] mnikulin at plesk dot com
I have refreshed the patch. I recommend to apply patches for #76601
on the top of it. It is made for 7.2.11 but can be applied to
7.1.23, 7.0.32, and 5.6.38 as well.
