Fix static linking: fix symbol name namespaces
gp_futex, yield_active, rand_yield, has_sys_membarrier, rcu_defer_exit,
call_rcu_data_free, call_rcu_before_fork, call_rcu_after_fork_parent,
call_rcu_after_fork_child are exported by each urcu flavor.
In order to fix use-cases where multiple flavors are statically linked
into the same application, we need to move these symbols to local
namespaces.
Ensure that all symbols are prefixed by "rcu_".
Also add each of those symbols into urcu/map/*.h headers, so they get
mapped to their flavor-specific symbol name by the preprocessor.
This requires bumping our .so version from 1.0.0 to 2.0.0, because it
changes some symbol names.

The bug was in call rcu. It is not required for master, because we fixed
it while moving to wfcqueue. We were erroneously writing to the head
field of the default call_rcu_data rather than tail.
The conditions to reproduce this bug:
1) setup per-cpu callback-invocation threads,
2) use call_rcu
3) call call_rcu_data_free() while there are still some pending
callbacks that have not yet been executed by the callback-invocation
threads,
4) we then get corruption due to the "default" callback invocation
that walks through a corrupted queue.

call_rcu: use wfcqueue, eliminate false-sharing
Eliminate false-sharing between call_rcu (enqueuer) and worker threads
on the queue head and tail.
introduced a change in call_rcu: it moved from "wfqueue" to "wfcqueue".
Its changelog states that the goal is to eliminate false-sharing, but
the changelog rationale is wrong.
The actual primary goal is to use the "splice" operation (which is
similar to the "dequeue_all" operation proposed by Lai Jiangshan),
instead of open-coding this operation directly within the call_rcu
implementation. The objective stated by Lai was to make testing of this
code-path easier, and he was right: we ended up noticing a bug in the
original call_rcu implementation (in this open-coded splice operation)
that was really hard to trigger, which was fixed by the move to
wfcqueue.
About false-sharing: In the case of call_rcu callback invokation threads
vs call_rcu callers, we do not care about false-sharing because call_rcu
callback-invocation threads use batching ("splice") to get an entire
list of callbacks, which effectively empties the queue, and requires to
touch the tail anyway. Ensuring that head and tail are placed on
different cache lines would matter only if we would be using "dequeue"
in the callback-invocation thread, which is not the case: we grab the
whole queue, and then iterate from our local head to our local tail.

wfcqueue: implement concurrency-efficient queue
This new API simplify the wfqueue implementation, and brings a 2.3x to

This work is derived from the patch from Lai Jiangshan submitted as

Its changelog:

> 2) no dequeue operation: and no shift, so it don't need dummy node,
> Although the dummy node is queued when initialization, but it is removed
> after the first dequeue_all operation in call_rcu_thread().
> call_rcu_data_free() forgets to handle the dummy node if it is not removed.

The patch proposed by Lai brings a very interesting simplification to
the single-node handling (which is kept here), and moves all queue
handling code away from call_rcu implementation, back into the wfqueue
code. This has the benefit to allow testing enhancements.
I modified it so the API does not expose implementation details to the
user (e.g. ___cds_wfq_node_sync_next). I added a "splice" operation and
a for loop iterator which should allow wfqueue users to use the list
very efficiently both from LGPL/GPL code and from non-LGPL-compatible
code.
I also changed the API so the queue head and tail are now two separate
structures: it allows the queue user to place these as they like, either
on different cache lines (to eliminate false-sharing), or close one to
another (on same cache-line) in case a queue is spliced onto the stack
and not concurrently accessed.

This patch fix two critical problems in the compatibility fallback of

1) compat_futex_cond is not bound to any @uaddr, it services all @uaddr,
if you wakeup only one thread(pthread_cond_signal), the @uaddr of
this waking thread and the @uaddr of the woken-up thread may be different.
The woken-up thread will very probably go to sleep again
because his own condition is not true.
*And* this waking thread(FUTEX_WAKE) wake up NOTHING.
2) If the caller want to wake up all waiting threads, he will use INT_MAX
for @val, and:

pthread_cond_signal(&compat_futex_cond);

Add MIPS support
[ Edit by Mathieu Desnoyers: add explanations about supported
MIPS architectures, extracted from conversation with Ralf Baechle:
* Supported architectures
Ralf Baechle (edited by Mathieu Desnoyers):
This code works on all MIPS architecture variants. The memory barrier
instruction, SYNC, was introduced for MIPS II. The original MIPS I
instruction set doesn't have SYNC nor SMP support in the processor
architecture itself so SMP required horrible kludges in the system
hardware. I think it's safe to say that Linux/MIPS will never support
any of these MIPS I SMP systems. In the unlikely case this happens
anyway, we have a (Linux) kernel emulation of the SYNC instruction.
Voila - full binary compatibility across all MIPS processors and the
oldest hardware pays the performance penalty.
* Choice of barrier for cmm_mb()/cmm_rmb()/cmm_wmb()
Ralf Baechle:
"RMI (aka Netlogic and now Broadcom) XLR processor cores can be
configured to permit LD-LD, LD-ST, ST-LD and ST-ST reordering; default
is only ST-ST reordering. To allow Linux to eventually enable full
reordering cmm_mb(), cmm_rmb() and cmm_wmb() all should perform SYNC
and a compiler barrier."
* No-op choice for cmm_read_barrier_depends():
Ralf Baechle:
"Technically there is nothing in the MIPS architecture spec that would
keep a MIPS implementation from reordering as freely as an Alpha or
even more liberally. In practice most do strong ordering. However
there is no MIPS implementation that makes full use of all the rope
provided. So in theory a paranoid implementation of
cmm_read_barrier_depends() for MIPS should perform a SYNC. In reality
it's not necessary and no sane MIPS core designer would implement
something that would design a core that need a non-empty
cmm_read_barrier_depends(). The reason why my patch had an empty one
is that I was using the Alpha code as a template."
Mathieu Desnoyers:
Moreover, the Linux kernel chooses a no-op for MIPS
read_barrier_depends() implementation, so any MIPS architecture that
would be as weak as Alpha would break the Linux kernel before breaking
the userspace RCU library.
* No need to put ".set noreorder" in cmm_mb() inline assembly:
Ralf Baechle:
"Certain instructions such as SYNC won't get reordered." ]

Fix library compatibility
Commit
4d0d66bb795d1ed938e11a97a4e5f71326e20c71, implementing
tls-compat.h for pthread TLS compatibility, adds a prefix in front of
each TLS symbol (__tls_*). However, some of these symbols are exported
by the URCU library (e.g. rcu_reader_mb, defined in urcu.c as
"rcu_reader", which is overloaded by the urcu/map/urcu.h) to
applications. Therefore, this breaks binary compatibility with 0.6.x
versions of the library. This is not intended, and therefore is a bug,
so we remove this __tls_* prefix from the variables declared, defined
and referenced to through the tls-compat.h API for compilers supporting
"__thread".

Update return value of "set" operations
To follow the way the Linux kernel implements atomic_set(), we change
some API functions so they don't return any value anymore.
This is now the case for:
uatomic_set()
rcu_set_pointer()
rcu_assign_pointer()
This API change is very minor. In all instances of the Linux kernel
using rcu_assign_pointer(), none currently care about its return value.
However, we keep ABI compatibility: rcu_set_pointer_sym() still returns

rculfhash: fix: race between replace and del operations
Bug introduced by commit
db00ccc36e7fb04ce8044fb1be7964acd1de6ae0
Here is the race:
Initially in hash table: A
T0 T1
replace A by B
del A
read A->next
-> check REMOVED flag, not set yet.
read A->next
-> check REMOVED flag, not set yet.
cmpxchg A->next to set REMOVED flag
-> cmpxchg succeeds
uatomic_or to set REMOVED flag
uatomic_xchg to atomically set the REMOVAL_OWNER flag
-> first to set the flag.
Replace returns node -> free(A) Del success -> free(A)
With this race, we have a double-free.
The problem with the replace code is that it does not set the
"REMOVAL_OWNER" flag.
Test case to reproduce the bug:
test_urcu_hash 0 2 20 -A -s -M 1 -N 1 -O 1
(2 threads, doing replace/del, with a hash table that has only a single
key for all values). After just a couple of seconds, either the program
hangs, or, more often, it does:
*** glibc detected ***
/media/truecrypt1/compudj/doc/userspace-rcu/tests/.libs/test_urcu_hash:

rculfhash: replace unneeded rcu_dereference by CMM_LOAD_SHARED
The difference between the two is that CMM_LOAD_SHARED() does not imply
a read barrier between the read and following uses of the data pointed
to by the pointer read.
All sites that only use the pointer load for its bits (never
dereference) don't need the read barrier implied by rcu_dereference.

rculfhash: use do {} while (0) for dbg_printf()
found by clang(make CC=clang).
avoid empty statement.
-------------------------
if (condition)
dbg_printf() /* forget ";", but compiler say nothing if dbg_printf() is empty */
statement;
-------------------------
also add printf format check.
(we can use gcc extention "__printf(1, 2)" to declare a dummy inline function
to do the check, but I use "printf()" directly here)
