Library major version number (soname) increment to 3

Due to the urcu/tls-compat.h TLS fallback symbol clash fix, we need to
bump the Userspace RCU soname major version number so we don't have to

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
1000 entries and then removing all of them, done in a loop (random

rculist: ensure atomic updates of next pointers

in cds_list_add_rcu, use rcu_assign_pointer to update head->next
atomically and provide the memory barrier before publishing head->next.
Notice that we don't need the wmb() prior to store to prev, because RCU
traversals only go forward, and thus only use "next".

in cds_list_del_rcu, use CMM_STORE_SHARED() to store to elem->prev->next
atomically.

Define membarrier() as -ENOSYS when SYS_membarrier is not found in the
system headers. Check dynamically for membarrier availability to ensure
ABI compatibility between applications and librairies.

Fix: Use a filled signal mask to disable all signals

Changelog from David Pelton's original patch:

While using lttng-ust with an application that was calling fork()
with pending signals, I found that all signals were getting unmasked
shortly before the underlying call to fork().  After some
investigation, I found that the rcu_bp_before_fork() function was
unmasking all signals.  Based on the comments for this function, it
should be masking all signals.  Inspection of the rest of the code
in urcu-bp.c revealed the same pattern in two other functions.

This patch changes the code to use a filled signal mask to disable
all signals.  The change to rcu_bp_before_fork() addressed the
problem I was seeing while using lttng-ust.  The changes to the
other two functions appear to fix other instances of the same
problem.

Updates by Mathieu Desnoyers:

- Use SIG_BLOCK instead of SIG_SETMASK when setting a filled mask. This
  has the same behavior in this case (since we're blocking all signals),
  but is semantically neater: if we ever some signals from that mask,
  we'd like to to a union with the signal mask already blocked by the
  application.
- Also fix incorrect signal masking in compat_arch_x86.c.
