urcu: fix deprecation warning with new glibc

This patch fixes the following warning:

/usr/include/features.h:148:3: warning: #warning "_BSD_SOURCE and _SVID_SOURCE are deprecated, use _DEFAULT_SOURCE" [-Wcpp]
 # warning "_BSD_SOURCE and _SVID_SOURCE are deprecated, use _DEFAULT_SOURCE"

From http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/feature_test_macros.7.html:

_BSD_SOURCE (deprecated since glibc 2.20)
[...]
Since glibc 2.20, this macro is deprecated.  It now has the same effect
as defining _DEFAULT_SOURCE, but generates a compile-time warning
(unless _DEFAULT_SOURCE is also defined).  Use _DEFAULT_SOURCE instead.
To allow code that requires _BSD_SOURCE in glibc 2.19 and earlier and
_DEFAULT_SOURCE in glibc 2.20 and later to compile without warnings,
define both _BSD_SOURCE and _DEFAULT_SOURCE.

Fix: deadlock when thread join is issued in read-side C.S.

The transitive dependency between:

RCU read-side C.S. -> synchronize_rcu -> rcu_gp_lock -> rcu_register_thread

and the dependency:

pthread_join -> awaiting for thread completion

Can block a thread on join, and thus have the side-effect of deadlocking
a thread doing a pthread_join while within a RCU read-side critical
section. This join would be awaiting for completion of register_thread or
rcu_unregister_thread, which may never complete because the rcu_gp_lock
is held by synchronize_rcu executed from another thread.

One solution to fix this is to add a new lock, rcu_registry_lock. This
lock now protects the thread registry. It is released between iterations
on the registry by synchronize_rcu, thus allowing thread
registration/unregistration to complete even though synchronize_rcu is
awaiting for RCU read-side critical sections to complete.

Fix: compat_futex_noasync race condition

The Userspace RCU compatibility layer around sys_futex has a race
condition which makes pretty much all "benchmark" tests hang pretty
quickly on non-Linux systems (tested on Mac OS X).

I narrowed it down to a bug in compat_futex_noasync: this compat layer
uses a single pthread mutex and condition variable for all callers,
independently of their uaddr. The FUTEX_WAKE performs a pthread cond
broadcast to all waiters. FUTEX_WAIT must then compare *uaddr with val
to see which thread has been awakened.

Unfortunately, the check was not done again after each return from
pthread_cond_wait(), thus causing the race.

This race affects threads using the futex_noasync() compatibility layer
concurrently, thus it affects only on non-Linux systems.

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.

Signed-off-by: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com>

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.

gcc warning fixes: -Wsign-compare and -Wextra

When compiling code using the rcu_xchg_pointer() family of functions,
with the following define:

 #define URCU_INLINE_SMALL_FUNCTIONS

prior to including urcu headers, when compiling with gcc with
-Wsign-compare and -Wextra, gcc warns about:

urcu-xchg.c: In function ‘reload’:
urcu-xchg.c:19:1: warning: ordered comparison of pointer with integer zero [-Wextra]
urcu-xchg.c:19:1: warning: signed and unsigned type in conditional expression [-Wsign-compare]

For the "ordered comparison of pointer with integer zero" warning, fix
this by comparing (type) -1 against (type) 0 instead of just 0, so if
"type" is a pointer type, this pointer type will be applied to the right
operand too, thus fixing the warning.

For the "signed and unsigned type in conditional expression" warning, we
need caa_cast_long_keep_sign() to always evaluate to the same type
signedness. In order to do so, when we need to sign-extend the value,
cast it to unsigned long after first casting it to long.

Fix: urcu-bp segfault in glibc pthread_kill()

This fixes an issue that appears after this recent urcu-bp fix is
applied:

  Fix: urcu-bp: Bulletproof RCU arena resize bug

Prior to this fix, on Linux at least, the behavior was to allocate
(and leak) one memory map region per reader thread. It worked, except
for the unfortunate leak. The fact that it worked, even though not the
way we had intended it to, is is why testing did not raise any red flag.
That state of affairs has prevailed for a long time, but it was
side-tracking some issues. After fixing the underlying bug that was
causing the memory map leak, another issue appears.

The garbage collection scheme reclaiming the thread tracking structures
in urcu-bp fails in stress tests to due a bug in glibc (tested against
glibc 2.13 and 2.17). Under this workload, on a 2-core/hyperthreaded i7:

./test_urcu_bp 40 4 10

we can easily trigger a segmentation fault in the pthread_kill() code.

Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.

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.

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
