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.

clang: silence "unused expression result" warning
CMM_STORE_SHARED(x, v) is a macro that really acts like an assignment
expression, e.g.:
x = v;
but internally also has "mc" barriers (useful for cache-incoherent
architectures).
The issue here is that (x = v) can evaluate to "v", but very often we're
not interested to use the assignment expression result. When we have an
explicit assignment, the compiler won't complain that the result of this
expression is unused, but given that the added barrier requires that we
make this macro evaluate explicitly to a value, clang complains.
Fix this by adding "_v = _v" at the last line of the macro, thus
performing what would appear like an effect-less assignment, but
actually tricks clang into thinking we are evaluating to an assignment
expression, thus suppressing the warning.

Discourage use of pthread_atfork() for call_rcu handlers
Discourage use of glibc pthread_atfork() for call_rcu handlers due to
its inappropriate assumptions about single-threadedness while pthread

Fix call_rcu fork handling
Fix call_rcu fork handling by putting all call_rcu threads in a
quiescent state before fork (paused state), and unpausing them when the
parent returns from fork.
On the child, everything will run fine as long as we don't issue fork()
from a call_rcu callback.
Side-note: pthread_atfork is not appropriate when using with multithread
and malloc/free. The glibc malloc implementation sadly expects that all
malloc/free are executed from the context of a single thread while
pthread atfork handlers are running, which leads to interesting hang in
glibc.

wfcqueue: implement mutex-free splice
A carefully crafted splice operation does not need to use an external
mutex to synchronize against other splice operations.
The trick is atomically exchange the head next pointer with
NULL. If the pointer we replaced was NULL, it means the queue was
possibly empty. If head next was not NULL, by setting head to NULL, we
ensure that concurrent splice operations are going to see an empty
queue, even if concurrent enqueue operations move tail further. This
means that as long as we are within splice, after setting head to NULL,
but before moving tail back to head, concurrent splice operations will
always see an empty queue, therefore acting as mutual exclusion.
If exchange returns a NULL head, we confirm that it was indeed empty by
checking if the tail pointer points to the head node, busy-waiting if
necessary.
Then the last step is to move the tail pointer to head. At that point,
enqueuers are going to start enqueuing at head again, and other splice
operations will be able to proceed.

wfcqueue: enqueue and splice return queue state
enqueue can return whether the queue was empty or not prior to enqueue.
splice can return this information about destination queue too, but
there are more cases to handle, because we don't touch the destination
queue if the source queue was empty, and in the nonblocking case, we
return that we would need to block on the source queue.
The destination queue state is sampled atomically with enqueue/splice to
destination operations.
Knowing this state is useful when "ownership" on a batch of queue items
can be assigned to those enqueuing the first items, e.g. to implement
wait/wakeup schemes.

urcu-qsbr: skip Q.S. reporting if already reported
We can skip both memory barriers and store reporting quiescent state if
we notice we already reported Q.S. for the current value of
"rcu_gp_ctr".
It covers the two implementations of QSBR:
* 64-bit architecture: we assume the counter never overflows, and
therefore only perform one increment followed by waiting for readers.
In this scenario, we don't care if the rcu_gp_ctr load is moved into
the prior read-side critical section, as long as the
URCU_TLS(rcu_reader).ctr store is ordered.
* 32-bit architecture: given the 32-bit counter could overflow,
we rely on a 2-phase approach, using a single bit: we flip
the rcu_gp_ctr bit, then wait to observe that all readers have
taken a copy of the new rcu_gp_ctr. We flip it again, and wait until
we observe that all readers have copied its new value. We are then
certain that each reader necessarily passed through a quiescent state
during the grace period (and that Q.S. was not located prior to our
grace period). This scheme works even if the rcu_gp_ctr load is moved
into the prior read-side critical section, as long as store to
URCU_TLS(rcu_reader).ctr is ordered with respect to other memory
accesses within that thread.
