wfcqueue: allow defining CDS_WFCQ_WAIT_SLEEP to override `poll'

Users may want to use alternative sleeping behavior instead of
`poll'.  Make CDS_WFCQ_WAIT_SLEEP a macro which may be defined
before including wfcqueue.h.

This alternative behavior could include logging, performing
low-priority cleanup work, sleeping a shorter/longer interval
or any combination of that.

This will also make integration into glibc easier, as `poll'
linkage causes conformance test failures even when relegated
to an impossible code path:

rculfhash: improve error handling of mmap backend

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

Fix: don't use overlapping mmap mappings on Cygwin

The allocation scheme used by the mmap based RCU hash table is to make a
large unaccessible mapping to reserve memory without allocating it.
Then smaller chunks are allocated by overlapping read/write mappings which
do allocate memory. Deallocation is done by an overlapping unaccessible
mapping.

This scheme was tested on Linux, macOS and Solaris. However, on Cygwin the
mmap wrapper is based on the Windows NtMapViewOfSection API which doesn't
support overlapping mappings.

An alternative to the overlapping mappings is to use mprotect to change the
protection on chunks of the large mapping, read/write to allocate and none
to deallocate. This works perfecty on Cygwin and Solaris but on Linux a
call to madvise is also required to deallocate and it just doesn't work on
macOS.

For this reason, we keep to original scheme on all platforms except Cygwin.

Revert "Use initial-exec tls model"

This reverts commit 6fd172f599e8d798e68974a786dd930d876f182e.

The initial-exec model seems to behave differently than global-dynamic
with respect to lazy initialization, causing locks to be taken then
first time each thread touch the TLS. This introduces deadlocks
with library constructors waiting on other threads.

This will require further investigation.

Use initial-exec tls model

The initial-exec tls model removes requirement on performing memory
allocation the first time a tls variable is touched by any given thread.
This is needed to ensure usage of the TLS from a signal handler works
fine.

Given that the link-editor figures out the right model to use at
runtime, we can change the tls model without changing the soname major
version.

This also brings interesting speedups over the GD model. This does not
affects TLS accesses performed by executables, but does affect TLS
accesses performed by libraries.

Allow forcing the use of sys membarrier

When using the default (liburcu.so) and bulletproof (liburcu-bp.so)
flavours of Userspace RCU, kernel support for sys-membarrier is detected
dynamically and stored in the rcu_has_sys_membarrier_memb and
urcu_bp_has_sys_membarrier global variables.

Checking the value of these variables adds a small but measurable overhead
to smp_mb_slave. On systems which support sys-membarrier, it would be
nice to have a way of avoiding that overhead.

Here is the proposed approach: if CONFIG_RCU_FORCE_SYS_MEMBARRIER is
defined then rcu_has_sys_membarrier_memb/urcu_bp_has_sys_membarrier are
replaced with the constant 1, eliminating the overhead in smp_mb_slave.
As a sanity check, support for sys-membarrier is still detected at
startup. A program using liburcu or liburcu-bp compiled with this option
aborts in the library constructor if the membarrier system call is not
supported by the operating system.

Fix: examples make distcheck failure

Fix: handle reference count overflow

The urcu refcounting API features a look and feel similar to the Linux
kernel reference counting API, which has been the subject of
CVE-2016-0728 (use-after-free). Therefore, improve the urcu refcounting
API by dealing with reference counting overflow.

For urcu_ref_get(), handle this by comparing the prior value with
LONG_MAX before updating it with a cmpxchg. When an overflow would
occur, trigger a abort() rather than allowing the overflow (which is a
use-after-free security concern).

For urcu_ref_get_unless_zero(), in addition to compare the prior value
to 0, also compare it to LONG_MAX, and return failure (false) in both
cases.

Fix: compat_futex should work-around futex signal-restart kernel bug

When testing liburcu on a 3.18 Linux kernel, 2-core MIPS (cpu model :
Ingenic JZRISC V4.15  FPU V0.0), we notice that a blocked sys_futex
FUTEX_WAIT returns -1, errno=ENOSYS when interrupted by a SA_RESTART
signal handler. This spurious ENOSYS behavior causes hangs in liburcu
0.9.x. Running a MIPS 3.18 kernel under a QEMU emulator exhibits the
same behavior. This might affect earlier kernels.

This issue appears to be fixed in 3.19 since commit e967ef022 "MIPS: Fix
restart of indirect syscalls", but nevertheless, we should try to handle
this kernel bug more gracefully than a user-space hang due to unexpected
spurious ENOSYS return value.

Therefore, fallback on the "async-safe" version of compat_futex in those
situations where FUTEX_WAIT returns ENOSYS. This async-safe fallback has
the nice property of being OK to use concurrently with other FUTEX_WAKE
and FUTEX_WAIT futex() calls, because it's simply a busy-wait scheme.

The 4.2 kernel on parisc, and likely newer kernels too, are also
affected by a similar issue.

Fix: urcu-signal: smp_mb_master() needs registry lock

The signal-based urcu flavor calls smp_mb_master() within the wait_gp()
function. Since commit "Fix: deadlock when thread join is issued in

Ensure that the registry lock is only released around the wait per se,
not around the call to smp_mb_master(), otherwise we end up iterating on
