Fix uatomic sign cast
Passing an unsigned int to uatomic_sub does not honor sign extend to

Fix this by introducing caa_cast_long_keep_sign(), which casts either to
long or unsigned long depending on the signedness of the argument
received. It is used in uatomic_sub before applying the "-" operator,
since this operator needs to operate on the "long" type size (since sign

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.

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.

urcu call_rcu: Use RCU read-side protection for per-cpu call_rcu data
A concurrent get_cpu_call_rcu_data(), called by get_call_rcu_data(),
could dereference this pointer without holding any mutex. So this
situation would happen if we have a concurrent call_rcu() executing
while we do the create_all_cpu_call_rcu_data().
I think we would need to put a rcu_dereference() around
per_cpu_call_rcu_data read within get_cpu_call_rcu_data() too.
per_cpu_call_rcu_data should be done with rcu_set_pointer.
Also, a rcu read-side critical section would be required around any
usage of per_cpu_call_rcu_data, and the action of tearing down the
per-cpu data would require to wait for a quiescent state. So we would
basically require that the call_rcu users need to be registered as
RCU reader threads.

cmm: do not generate code for smp_rmb/smp_wmb on x86_64
We can assume, on x86, that no accesses to write-combining memory occur,
and also that there are no non-temporal load/stores (people would
presumably write those with assembly or intrinsics and put appropriate
lfence/sfence manually). In this case rmb and wmb are no-ops on x86.
according to the updated x86 memory models:
INTEL CORPORATION. Intel 64 Architecture Memory Ordering White Paper,
2007.
http://developer.intel.com/products/processor/manuals/318147.pdf
ADVANCED MICRO DEVICES. AMD x86-64 Architecture Programmer’s Manual
Volume 2: System Programming, 2007.
Paul E. McKenney. Memory Ordering in Modern Microprocessors
www.rdrop.com/users/paulmck/scalability/paper/ordering.2007.09.19a.pdf
x86 does not reorder loads vs loads, and stores vs stores when using
normal memory accesses, with the notable exceptions of Pentium Pro
(reorders reads) and WinChip (reorders writes). Therefore, it is safe
not to emit fence instructions for x86_64 cmm_smp_rmb()/cmm_smp_wmb(),
but we leave the memory fences in place for x86_32 for those two
special-cases.
Define cmm_smp_rmb and cmm_smp_wmb to be the "common" operations that
do not require fence instruction, while leaving cmm_rmb and cmm_wmb in
place for more sophisticated uses.

Revert "CDS API: removal of rcu_read lock/unlock dep, removal of call_rcu argument from init"
This reverts commit
7618919ae496bda84a2efa4f2ad0abe569892a9e.
Rationale:
I thought about it some more, and had discussions with various people,
and there are a few reasons to go for a scheme where rcu read lock
should be taken by the caller, and to pass call_rcu as a parameter to
the data structure init function:
A) The advantage, as Paul E. McKenney pointed out, is that one single .so
is enough to support all RCU flavors. Very convenient for external data
structure containers.
B) It clearly documents where rcu read-side locks are needed, so the user
keep control and in-depth understanding of their read-side locks.
C) When multiple API functions that require RCU read-side lock to be
held (sometimes even the same lock) throughout a sequence of API
calls, we have no choice but to let the caller hold the read-side
lock.
D) Due to support of multiple nesting of rcu read-side lock, any
"improvement" we could get by releasing the read-side lock in
retry loops would vanish in the cases where we are called within
nested C.S..
E) If a library uses synchronize_rcu, this should be clearly documented,
and even frowned upon, because this involves important limitations on
the design of the caller, and important performance hit. There are
usually ways to reach the same result through use of call_rcu, which
should really be used thoroughout these libraries.
F) It clearly documents when a data structure needs to use call_rcu
internally.
G) Some very early benchmark results show that there is indeed not
much performance gain to achieve by inlining call_rcu, even if it is
a version with a cache for the "call_rcu structure" lookup
(per-cpu/per-thread/global). So passing it as a parameter to
the data structure init function should be fine, even in cases
where it is called very often.
H) For use-cases where applications would like to use more than one
RCU flavor concurrently (which is now supported), leaving management
of RCU read-side C.S. to the reader allows the application to take
more than one RCU read-side lock across API calls. It also lets the
application specify its own call_rcu function that could handle more
than one RCU flavor.
So for all these reasons, I reverting back to the API we have in our
last release (0.6.4).

urcu-qsbr: avoid useless futex wakeups and burning CPU for long grace periods
I noticed that urcu makes exactly _one_ attempt at using futexes
to avoid busy looping on synchronize_rcu. The attached patch instead
switches from busy waiting to futexes after RCU_QS_ACTIVE_ATTEMPTS.
To limit the amount of system calls, reading threads remember whether
they already had a quiescent state in this grace period; if so they were
already removed from the list, and can avoid signaling the futex.
Performance measured with rcutorture (nreaders: 10, nupdaters: 1,
duration: 10, median of nine runs):
RCU_QS_ACTIVE_ATTEMPTS == 100, no patch n_updates = 292
RCU_QS_ACTIVE_ATTEMPTS == 1, no patch n_updates = 290
RCU_QS_ACTIVE_ATTEMPTS == 100, with patch n_updates = 408
RCU_QS_ACTIVE_ATTEMPTS == 1, with patch n_updates = 404
(the first two cases are obviously the same; the only change is
when the futex is used, but over many calls there is no difference).
This patch matches the update to the Promela model.
