Fix: move wait loop increment before first conditional block
The fix "Fix: high cpu usage in synchronize_rcu with long RCU read-side
C.S." has an imperfection in urcu.c and urcu-qsbr.c: when incrementing
the wait loop counter for the last time, the first conditional branch is
not taken, but the following conditionals are, and they assume the first
conditional has been taken.
Within urcu.c (urcu-mb, urcu-membarrier and urcu-signal), and
urcu-qsbr.c, this will simply skip the first wait_gp() call, without any
noticeable ill side-effect.

Fix: high cpu usage in synchronize_rcu with long RCU read-side C.S.
We noticed that with this kind of scenario:
- application using urcu-mb, urcu-membarrier, urcu-signal, or urcu-bp,
- long RCU read-side critical sections, caused by e.g. long network I/O
system calls,
- other short lived RCU critical sections running in other threads,
- very frequent invocation of call_rcu to enqueue callbacks,
lead to abnormally high CPU usage within synchronize_rcu() in the
call_rcu worker threads.
Inspection of the code gives us the answer: in urcu.c, we expect that if
we need to wait on a futex (wait_gp()), we expect to be able to end the
grace period within the next loop, having been notified by a
rcu_read_unlock(). However, this is not always the case: we can very
well be awakened by a rcu_read_unlock() executed on a thread running
short-lived RCU read-side critical sections, while the long-running RCU
read-side C.S. is still active. We end up in a situation where we
busy-wait for a very long time, because the counter is !=
RCU_QS_ACTIVE_ATTEMPTS until a 32-bit overflow happens (or more likely,
until we complete the grace period). We need to change the wait_loops ==
RCU_QS_ACTIVE_ATTEMPTS check into an inequality to use wait_gp() for
every attempts beyond RCU_QS_ACTIVE_ATTEMPTS loops.
urcu-bp.c also has this issue. Moreover, it uses usleep() rather than
poll() when dealing with long-running RCU read-side critical sections.
Turn the usleep 1000us (1ms) into a poll of 10ms. One of the advantage
of using poll() rather than usleep() is that it does not interact with
SIGALRM.
urcu-qsbr.c already checks for wait_loops >= RCU_QS_ACTIVE_ATTEMPTS, so
it is not affected by this issue.
Looking into these loops, however, shows that overflow of the loop
counter, although unlikely, would bring us back to a situation of high
cpu usage (a negative value well below RCU_QS_ACTIVE_ATTEMPTS).
Therefore, change the counter behavior so it stops incrementing when it
reaches RCU_QS_ACTIVE_ATTEMPTS, to eliminate overflow.

Fix: tls-compat multi-lib conflict
When configured with the TLS pthread key fallback either:
- explicitly with ./configure --disable-compiler-tls,
- or if compiler TLS is not usable,
(this can be confirmed by looking at the configure output:
Thread Local Storage (TLS): pthread_getspecific().)
There is an issue when using multiple flavors of RCU within the same
program. Unit tests concerned:
tests/unit/test_urcu_multiflavor
tests/unit/test_urcu_multiflavor_dynlink
Vladimir Nikulichev noticed crashes when using this setup. The problem
can be pinpointed to a missing macro expansion in urcu/tls-compat.h:
looking at the output of
nm tests/unit/.libs/test_urcu_multiflavor :
U __tls_access_rcu_reader
this seems to be the issue. We're missing macro expansion in
tls-compat.h. With this commit, it becomes:
U __tls_access_rcu_reader_bp
U __tls_access_rcu_reader_mb
U __tls_access_rcu_reader_memb
U __tls_access_rcu_reader_sig
Please note that this affects an unusual configuration of userspace RCU
(with TLS pthread key fallback), needed for some BSD that don't support
compiler TLS. Strictly speaking, this requires bumping the URCU library
soname version major number, because it breaks the ABI presented to
applications on those unusual configurations.
A following commit will handle the ABI migration: for stable releases
(stable-0.7 and stable-0.8 branches), the ABI is kept compatible, and
bogus usage are detected. For the upcoming stable-0.9, the soname will
simply be bumped.

The garbage collection scheme reclaiming the thread tracking structures

It appears that the memory backing the thread information can be
relinquished by NPTL concurrently with execution of pthread_kill()
targeting an already joined thread and cause this segfault. We were
using pthread_kill(tid, 0) to discover if the target thread was alive or
not, as documented in pthread_kill(3):
If sig is 0, then no signal is sent, but error checking is still per‐
formed; this can be used to check for the existence of a thread ID.
but it appears that the glibc implementation is racy.
Instead of using the racy pthread_kill implementation, implement cleanup
using a pthread_key destroy notifier for a dummy key. This notifier is
called for each thread exit and destroy.

Fix urcu-bp: don't move registry
It is not correct to move the registry address range, since there are
external references from reader threads. This will trigger on workloads
with many threads.
Typically, on Linux, mremap can expand the existing range, which is OK.
However, if there is not enough space around the existing range, it may
try to map it at a different address, which is incorrect.
It is more likely that this bug will be observed on operating systems
where urcu uses the mmap/munmap fallback instead of mremap.
Moreover, prior to commit:
"Fix: urcu-bp: Bulletproof RCU arena resize bug"
this issue was hidden by the fact that each thread ended up with their
own memory mapping (leaked), on Linux at least.

Fix: compat futex duplicated lock and completion
compat_futex.c has one instance included in each urcu shared object, as
well as within some of the test applications. However, it is expected
that an entire program interact with the same lock and completion
variables. Therefore, define them as globally visible, but weak, so the
entire program agree on which object should be used.

Fix: i386 compat code duplicated mutex instances
compat_arch_x86.c is linked into many .so and even into test programs.
The basic problem with this is that it contains a statically defined
mutex, which will fail to protect concurrent use of this compat code by
different shared objects.
Fix this by defining both the mutex (now called __urcu_x86_compat_mutex)
and __rcu_cas_avail as weak symbols. Therefore, the first symbol that
gets loaded in a program will by used by everyone.

Good catch !!
However, I think your fix misses one case: if we happen to re-use the
same region, we want to update the length too.

Fix: hash table growth (for small tables) should be limited
Buckets with many entries encountered in a hash table could cause it to
grow to a large size, beyond the scope for which this mechanism is
expected to play a role when node accounting is available. Indeed, when
the hash table grows to larger size, split-counter node accounting is
expected to deal with resize/shrink rather than relying on an heuristic
based on the largest bucket size.
This is fixing an issue where we see hash tables sometimes reaching 65k
entries index (65536*8 = 524288 bytes) for a workload limited to adding
1000 entries and then removing all of them, done in a loop (random
keys).
