Define membarrier() as -ENOSYS when SYS_membarrier is not found in the
system headers. Check dynamically for membarrier availability to ensure

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.

urcu: avoid false sharing for rcu_gp_ctr

@rcu_gp_ctr and @registry share the same cache line, it causes
false sharing and slowdown both of the read site and update site.

Fix: Use different cache line for them.

Although rcu_gp_futex is updated less than rcu_gp_ctr, but
they always be accessed at almost the same time, so we also move rcu_gp_futex
to the cacheline of rcu_gp_ctr to reduce the cacheline-usage or cache-missing
of read site.

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.

rculfhash: add assertions on node alignment

I've had a report of someone running into issues with the RCU lock-free
hash table by embedding the struct cds_lfht_node into a packed structure
by mistake, thus not respecting alignment requirements stated in
urcu/rculfhash.h. Assertions on "replace" and "add" operations should
catch this, but I notice that we should add assertions on the
REMOVAL_OWNER_FLAG to cover all possible misalignments.

Fix configure checks for Tile

The previous method of checking whether the architecture is TileGx or
not was buggy. urcu/arch/tile.h included urcu/arch/gcc.h, which was not
installed on the system, causing a configure error. I am not sure why it
worked when I tested commit 1000f1f4204e5fbb337f4ea911f1e29f67df79aa,
maybe some previous partial install or something.

The check is now done earlier, during the configure step and should not
cause any trouble.

doc/cds-api.txt: expand documentation

Expand explanations, reorder items to have all wait-free descriptions
first, so that the rculfqueue API comes last, since it is less
featureful and is the only API of the queues/stacks to actually rely on
