Fix: move wait loop increment before first conditional block
The fix "Fix: high cpu usage in synchronize_rcu with long RCU read-side

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.

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

causing the memory map leak, another issue appears.
The garbage collection scheme reclaiming the thread tracking structures

glibc 2.13 and 2.17). Under this workload, on a 2-core/hyperthreaded i7:

However, if there is not enough space around the existing range, it may

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.

The bug was in call rcu. It is not required for master, because we fixed
it while moving to wfcqueue. We were erroneously writing to the head
field of the default call_rcu_data rather than tail.
The conditions to reproduce this bug:
1) setup per-cpu callback-invokation threads,
2) use call_rcu
3) call call_rcu_data_free() while there are still some pending
callbacks that have not yet been executed by the callback-invokation
threads,
4) we then get corruption due to the "default" callback invokation
that walks through a corrupted queue.
This bug is fixed by commit
5161f31e09ce33dd79afad8d08a2372fbf1c4fbe in
the 0.7.x series. Commit
0b8ab7df078a6d8e1439b1db5849638892e1cc83 in the
0.7.x series explains the real motivation for moving call_rcu from
wfqueue to wfcqueue.

The woken-up thread will very probably go to sleep again

Add MIPS support
[ Edit by Mathieu Desnoyers: add explanations about supported
MIPS architectures, extracted from conversation with Ralf Baechle:
* Supported architectures
Ralf Baechle (edited by Mathieu Desnoyers):
This code works on all MIPS architecture variants. The memory barrier
instruction, SYNC, was introduced for MIPS II. The original MIPS I
instruction set doesn't have SYNC nor SMP support in the processor
architecture itself so SMP required horrible kludges in the system
hardware. I think it's safe to say that Linux/MIPS will never support
any of these MIPS I SMP systems. In the unlikely case this happens
anyway, we have a (Linux) kernel emulation of the SYNC instruction.
Voila - full binary compatibility across all MIPS processors and the
oldest hardware pays the performance penalty.
* Choice of barrier for cmm_mb()/cmm_rmb()/cmm_wmb()
Ralf Baechle:
"RMI (aka Netlogic and now Broadcom) XLR processor cores can be
configured to permit LD-LD, LD-ST, ST-LD and ST-ST reordering; default
is only ST-ST reordering. To allow Linux to eventually enable full
reordering cmm_mb(), cmm_rmb() and cmm_wmb() all should perform SYNC
and a compiler barrier."
* No-op choice for cmm_read_barrier_depends():
Ralf Baechle:
"Technically there is nothing in the MIPS architecture spec that would
keep a MIPS implementation from reordering as freely as an Alpha or
even more liberally. In practice most do strong ordering. However
there is no MIPS implementation that makes full use of all the rope
provided. So in theory a paranoid implementation of
cmm_read_barrier_depends() for MIPS should perform a SYNC. In reality
it's not necessary and no sane MIPS core designer would implement
something that would design a core that need a non-empty
cmm_read_barrier_depends(). The reason why my patch had an empty one
is that I was using the Alpha code as a template."
Mathieu Desnoyers:
Moreover, the Linux kernel chooses a no-op for MIPS
read_barrier_depends() implementation, so any MIPS architecture that
would be as weak as Alpha would break the Linux kernel before breaking
the userspace RCU library.
* No need to put ".set noreorder" in cmm_mb() inline assembly:
Ralf Baechle:
"Certain instructions such as SYNC won't get reordered." ]

Fix library compatibility
Commit
4d0d66bb795d1ed938e11a97a4e5f71326e20c71, implementing
tls-compat.h for pthread TLS compatibility, adds a prefix in front of
each TLS symbol (__tls_*). However, some of these symbols are exported
by the URCU library (e.g. rcu_reader_mb, defined in urcu.c as
"rcu_reader", which is overloaded by the urcu/map/urcu.h) to
applications. Therefore, this breaks binary compatibility with 0.6.x
versions of the library. This is not intended, and therefore is a bug,
so we remove this __tls_* prefix from the variables declared, defined
and referenced to through the tls-compat.h API for compilers supporting
"__thread".

Update return value of "set" operations
To follow the way the Linux kernel implements atomic_set(), we change
some API functions so they don't return any value anymore.
This is now the case for:
uatomic_set()
rcu_set_pointer()
rcu_assign_pointer()
This API change is very minor. In all instances of the Linux kernel
using rcu_assign_pointer(), none currently care about its return value.
However, we keep ABI compatibility: rcu_set_pointer_sym() still returns
the "v" value, even though it is not used by its wrapper macro anymore.

NetBSD 5 implements a mremap with a different semantic. Rename our

Eventually, we could envision doing a special-case that uses the NetBSD
5 version instead of the fallback, but let's first get it working before
going into optimization land.
