lfstack: relax constraints on node re-use
The documentation of the RCU-based synchronization technique in lfstack
is too strict. It currently states that the cds_lfs_node structure
cannot be overwritten before a grace period has passed. However, lfstack
pop only use the next pointer as the replacement value when doing the
cmpxchg on the head. After the node has been pop'd from the stack,
concurrent cmpxchg trying to pop that same node will necessarily fail as
long as there is a grace period before pop/pop_all and re-adding the
node into the stack.
It is therefore sufficient to wait for a grace period between:
1) pop/pop_all and
2) freeing the node (to ensure existence for concurrent pop trying to
read node->next) or re-adding the node into the stack.
This node re-use constraint relaxation is only possible because we don't
care about node->next content read by concurrent pop: it will be simply
discarded by the cmpxchg on head. Be careful not to apply this relaxed
constraint to other data structures which care about the content of the
node's next pointer (e.g. wfstack).
This relaxed constraint allows implementing efficient free-lists (memory
allocation) with a lock-free allocation/free based on lfstack: it allows
re-using the memory backing the free-list node immediately after
allocation. The only requirement with respect to this use-case is to
wait for a grace period before putting the node back into the free-list.
Also update the test_urcu_lfs to poison the next pointer immediately
after pop/pop_all to make sure we test this relaxed constraint.

Fix: dynamic fallback to compat futex on sys_futex ENOSYS
Some MIPS processors (e.g. Cavium Octeon II) dynamically check if the
CPU supports ll/sc within sys_futex, and return a ENOSYS errno if they
don't, even though the architecture implements sys_futex.
Handle this situation by always building the sys_futex compatibility
layer, and fall-back on it if sys_futex return a ENOSYS errno. This is
a tiny compat layer which adds very little space overhead.
This adds an unlikely branch on return from sys_futex, which should
not be an issue performance-wise (we've already taken a system call).
Since this is a fall-back mode, don't try to be clever, and don't cache
the result, so that the common cases (architectures with a properly
working sys_futex) don't get two conditional branches, just one.

sys_membarrier underwent changes between its original implementation and

Should the prior user-space code be built against a kernel header that

scenarios may happen:
- -1 will be returned with EINVAL errno if the 2nd argument (flags) is
non-zero (the previous ABI expected a single argument),
- (MEMBARRIER_EXPEDITED | MEMBARRIER_QUERY) defined as
(1 << 0) | (1 << 16) will return -1 with EINVAL errno, because valid
commands are now one-hot.
Therefore, should an incompatible user-space code try to use

One solution to fix this is to add a new lock, rcu_registry_lock. This

registration/unregistration to complete even though synchronize_rcu is

if a macro uses them and it's included in a project built
with -pedantic, the build will fail. GCC and CLANG do
support them as extension, so marking them as such allows

Fix: compat_futex_noasync race condition
The Userspace RCU compatibility layer around sys_futex has a race
condition which makes pretty much all "benchmark" tests hang pretty
quickly on non-Linux systems (tested on Mac OS X).
I narrowed it down to a bug in compat_futex_noasync: this compat layer
uses a single pthread mutex and condition variable for all callers,
independently of their uaddr. The FUTEX_WAKE performs a pthread cond
broadcast to all waiters. FUTEX_WAIT must then compare *uaddr with val
to see which thread has been awakened.
Unfortunately, the check was not done again after each return from
pthread_cond_wait(), thus causing the race.
This race affects threads using the futex_noasync() compatibility layer
concurrently, thus it affects only on non-Linux systems.

not taken, but the following conditionals are, and they assume the first
conditional has been taken.

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.
