Fix: call_rcu: teardown default call_rcu worker on application exit
Teardown the default call_rcu worker thread if there are no queued
callbacks on process exit. This prevents leaking memory.
Here is how an application can ensure graceful teardown of this
worker thread:
- An application queuing call_rcu callbacks should invoke
rcu_barrier() before it exits.
- When chaining call_rcu callbacks, the number of calls to
rcu_barrier() on application exit must match at least the maximum
number of chained callbacks.
- If an application chains callbacks endlessly, it would have to be
modified to stop chaining callbacks when it detects an application
exit (e.g. with a flag), and wait for quiescence with rcu_barrier()
after setting that flag.
- The statements above apply to a library which queues call_rcu
callbacks, only it needs to invoke rcu_barrier in its library
destructor.

This deadlock is easy to reproduce when rapidly adding a large number of
entries in the cds_lfht, removing them, and calling cds_lfht_destroy().
The deadlock will occur if the call to cds_lfht_destroy() takes place
while a resize of the hash table is ongoing.
Fix this by moving the teardown of the lfht worker thread to libcds
library destructor, so it does not have to wait on synchronize_rcu from
a resize callback from within a read-side critical section. As a
consequence, the atfork callbacks are left registered within each urcu
flavor for which a resizeable hash table is created until the end of the
executable lifetime.
The other part of the fix is to move the hash table destruction to the
worker thread for auto-resize hash tables. This prevents having to wait
for resize callbacks from RCU read-side critical section. This is
guaranteed by the fact that the worker thread serializes previously
queued resize callbacks before the destroy callback.

Applications using signalfd depend on signals being blocked in all
threads of the process, otherwise threads with unblocked signals
can receive them and starve the signalfd.
While some threads in URCU do block signals (e.g. workqueue
worker for rculfhash), the call_rcu, defer_rcu, and rculfhash
partition_resize_helper threads do not.
Always block all signals before creating threads, and only unblock
SIGRCU when registering a urcu-signal thread. Restore the SIGRCU
signal to its pre-registration blocked state on unregistration.
For rculfhash, cds_lfht_worker_init can be removed, because its only
effect is to block all signals except SIGRCU. Blocking all signals is
already done by the workqueue code, and unbloking SIGRCU is now done by
the urcu signal flavor thread regisration.

Fix: change method used by _rcu_dereference to strip type constness
Commit 1e41ec3b07e4 ("Make temporary variable in _rcu_dereference
non-const") used the trick to add 0 to the pointer passed as a parameter
to the macro to get rid of its constness, should it be const (with the
end goal of avoiding compiler warnings). This is problematic (as shown
in [1]) if it is a pointer to an opaque type though, as the compiler
cannot perform pointer arithmetic on such a pointer (even though it
wouldn't really need to here, as we add 0).
Change it to use another trick to strip away the constness, that
shouldn't hit this problem. It was found in the same stackoverflow post
as the original trick [2]. It consists of using a statement expression
like so:
__typeof__(({ const int foo; foo; }))
The statement expression yields a value of type `int`. Statement
expressions are extensions to the C language, but we already use them
here.
The test_build* binaries now need to be linked against the urcu library,
otherwise they would be missing the rcu_dereference_sym symbol.

fix: sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_CONF) can be less than max cpu id
We rely on sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_CONF) to get the maximum possible
number of CPUs that can be attached to the system for the lifetime of an

As such we expect that the highest possible CPU id would be one less
than the number returned by sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_CONF) which is
unfortunatly not always the case and can vary across libc
implementations and versions.
Glibc up to 2.35 will count the number of "cpuX" directories in
"/sys/devices/system/cpu" which doesn't include CPUS that were
hot-unplugged.
This information is however provided by the Linux kernel in
"/sys/devices/system/cpu/possible" in the form of a mask listing all the
CPUs that could possibly be hot-plugged in the system.
This patch replaces sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_CONF) with an internal
function that first tries parsing the possible CPU mask to extract the
highest possible value and if this fails fallback to the previous
behavior.

wait-teardown stage is done with URCU_WAIT_ATTEMPTS active attempts,

slightly less efficient that it should be.

The urcu call_rcu() and rcu_barrier() each implement a futex wait/wakeup

* call_rcu
A spurious wakeup on call_rcu_wait can cause call_rcu_wait to return
with a crdp->futex state of -1, which is unexpected. It would cause the
following loops in call_rcu_thread() to decrement the crdp->futex to
values below -1, thus actively using CPU time as values will be
decremented to very low negative values until the futex value underflows
back to 0. The state is *not* restored to 0 when the callback list is
found to be non-empty, so this unexpected state will persist until the
crdp->futex state underflows back to 0, or until the call_rcu_thread is
stopped. What prevents this from having too much user-observable effects
is that the call rcu thread has a 10ms sleep between loops, to favor
batching of callbacks. Therefore, rather than being a purely 100% active
busy-wait, this scenario leads to a busy-wait which is paced by 10ms
sleeps.
Therefore the observed issue will be that the call_rcu_thread will
unexpectedly wake up the CPU each 10ms after this spurious wakeup
happens.
* rcu_barrier
A spurious wakeup on call_rcu_completion_wait can cause
call_rcu_completion_wait to return with a completion->futex state of -1,
which is unexpected. It would cause the following loops in rcu_barrier()
to decrement the completion->futex to values below -1, thus actively
using CPU time as values will be decremented to very low negative values
until either the barrier count reaches 0 or until the futex value
underflows to 0.
Therefore the observed issue will be that rcu_barrier() will
unexpectedly use a lot of CPU time when this spurious wakeup happens.
These issues will cause spurious unexpected high CPU use, but will not
lead to data corruption.

objective of standardising across projects.
Regroup all the configure detected values relevant to the test suite in
a single generated file. This file will be automatically sourced by the
test suite in most scenarios but can also be sourced in the shell of a
user.
* All user overridable variables start with 'URCU_TESTS_'.
* The priority for variables is :
Environment -> env.sh -> utils.sh (defaults).
* A user can source 'env.sh', override some of the values and manually
run test scripts.
* The test suite can run without an 'env.sh' file present.

fix: properly detect 'cmpxchg' on x86-32
We wrongly assumed that on x86-32 when '__i386__' is defined but none of
'__i486__', '__i586__' or '__i686__' that the target arch is a literal
i386 cpu without the cmpxchg instructions. However, when building with
'-march=core2' we get '__i386__' but none of the others even if the arch
is newer than an i686.
Change the compat code to use the '__GCC_HAVE_SYNC_COMPARE_AND_SWAP_4'
builtin define to detect an x86-32 system without the cmpxchg
instructions.
Since this builtin define was introduced in GCC 4.3 and Clang 3.3,
building with older compilers on any x86-32 system will enable the
compat layer regardless of the availability of the instructions.

Always use '__thread' for Thread local storage except on MSVC
Use the GCC extension '__thread' [1] for Thread local storage on all C
and C++ compilers except MSVC.
While C11 and C++11 respectively offer '_Thread_local' and
'thread_local' as potentialy faster implementations, they offer no
guarantees of compatibility when used in a library interface which might
be used by both C and C++ client code.
Fix: powerpc32: transparent unions alter calling convention
On powerpc32, transparent unions have an impact on the calling
convention used for the argument, as they use the calling convention of
the first field of the union rather than the union itself. On powerpc32,
the calling convention for a union is that the register has a pointer to
the union, which differs from the calling convention of its first field
(which is a pointer in this case).
"[...] the argument is passed to the function using the calling
conventions of the first member of the transparent union, not the
calling conventions of the union itself. All members of the union must
have the same machine representation; this is necessary for this
argument passing to work properly." [1]
Therefore, use a transparent union for c++ so c++ compilers can emit
caller code with a compatible stack layout. The "ignored attribute"
warning emitted by clang appears to be only for architectures where the
calling convention is not affected by the presence of transparent union
attribute. Therefore, simply silence this warning.

fix: don't use C++ thread_local on MacOs
Recent versions of Apple's clang++ do support 'thread_local' but the
implementation generates additional helper symbols. This is a problem
when accessing an extern TLS variable in a C++ compile unit that is
provided by a C library that doesn't have those extra symbols.
Fallback to using '__thread' on MacOs.

wfcqueue: combine C++ API cds_wfcq_head_cast with overloading

Add C++ build tests
Some urcu header files cause build failures when included in C++
programs. Add a test file that includes all exported headers (except
those that are marked as deprecated) and build that test file as a C and
C++ program, with and without _LGPL_SOURCE defined (to test both the
static and non-static implementations). This helps ensure that the code
in these headers works as both languages. This alone does not ensure
full coverage, there may be code in unused macros that would need
fixing. But by including the "static" headers, this already finds a few
issues.
The test doesn't run anything, its purpose is only to verify that things
build.
This catches the following build failures:
- clang++ doesn't know the __transparent_union__ attribute, place some
pragmas to ignore this warning around where __transparent_union__ is
used.
- CDS_WFS_WOULDBLOCK and CDS_WFS_END are cast to a void*. This doesn't
work in C++ when assigning to a field them to typed pointer. Fix
them by casting to the appropriate type.
- The transparent union trick doesn't work in C++:

A C++ user can fall back to instantiating a cds_wfs_stack_ptr_t

static headers.

function overloading to provide a C++ API similar to the C API.

Add `urcu_posix_assert()` as `assert()` replacement
This macro acts like the regular `assert()` macro unless NDEBUG is
defined in which case it consumes the expression and becomes a no-op.
This consumption trick (see `_urcu_use_expression()` macro) prevents the
compiler from warning about unused variables even when assert() are
removed by the NDEBUG define.
This macro is also used for the existing `urcu_assert_debug()` macro.
The implementation of `_urcu_use_expression()` is inspired by the
Babeltrace 2 approach.

This is because the pointer passed to _rcu_dereference is const (the
pointer itself is const, IIUC, not necessarily the data it points to),
so the temporary _________p1 is also declared as const. We therefore
can't pass a non-const pointer to it to a function that modifies it.
I applied the trick found here [1] with success to get rid of the
constness of the variable. With this change, lttng-tools compiles
successfully with gcc 11.
There may be other spots in the headers where this would be needed, but
it is hard to spot them. I think we would need to write some test file
that pass const pointers to all macros of the API and see if they
compile.
Fix: x86 and s390 uatomic: __hp() macro warning with gcc 11

workqueue.c:184:38: note: while referencing ‘cbs_tmp_tail’

The (previously undocumented) reason for this macro is to allow passing the
"void *" parameter as "m" or "+m" operand to the inline assembly. That
motivation was explained in commit 53b8ed6836363 ("s390 uatomic arch fix").
The out of bound access is detected by gcc because struct
__uatomic_dummy's length is quite large: an array of 10 unsigned long,
which is larger than the size pointed to by the void pointer.
So rather than using a fixed-size type, cast to a structure containing
an array of characters of a size matching the @addr input argument.
While we are at it and digging out git archeology, properly document the
__hp() macro for posterity.

bump SONAME major to 8
In URCU 0.11, we introduced new symbols to clean up the library symbol
namespacing, using the "alias" attribute to keep emitting the old
symbols, expecting to preserve ABI backward compatibility.
Unfortunately, it turns out that even though it works well for function
symbols, it is broken for public global variables due to the way ELF
copy relocation works.
When building a non-PIC executable that uses an extern variable, a .bss
symbol is emitted in the executable. This will take precedence over the
symbol implemented within the library in the Global Symbol Table.
Unfortunately, the alias within the library will not be aware that the
actual GST symbol differs from its alias within the library, and the
addresses for the symbol and its alias will differ at runtime.
Considering that this compatibility issue affects official library
releases, there is little we can do beyond documenting this issue, and
bumping the Userspace RCU major soname for the next (0.13) release.
