The drain_rcu_call() function can be blocked as long as an RCU reader
stays in a read-side critical section. This is typically what happens
when a TCG vCPU is executing a busy loop. It can deadlock the QEMU
monitor as reported in https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/650 .
This can be avoided by allowing drain_rcu_call() to enforce an RCU grace
period. Since each reader might need to do specific actions to end a
read-side critical section, do it with notifiers.
Prepare ground for this by adding a notifier list to the RCU reader
struct and use it in wait_for_readers() if drain_rcu_call() is in
progress. An API is added for readers to register their notifiers.
This is largely based on a draft from Paolo Bonzini.

clang's C11 atomic_fetch_*() functions only take a C11 atomic type
pointer argument. QEMU uses direct types (int, etc) and this causes a
compiler error when a QEMU code calls these functions in a source file
that also included <stdatomic.h> via a system header file:
$ CC=clang CXX=clang++ ./configure ... && make
../util/async.c:79:17: error: address argument to atomic operation must be a pointer to _Atomic type ('unsigned int *' invalid)
Avoid using atomic_*() names in QEMU's atomic.h since that namespace is
used by <stdatomic.h>. Prefix QEMU's APIs with 'q' so that atomic.h
and <stdatomic.h> can co-exist. I checked /usr/include on my machine and
searched GitHub for existing "qatomic_" users but there seem to be none.
This patch was generated using:
$ git grep -h -o '\<atomic\(64\)\?_[a-z0-9_]\+' include/qemu/atomic.h | \
sort -u >/tmp/changed_identifiers
$ for identifier in $(</tmp/changed_identifiers); do
sed -i "s%\<$identifier\>%q$identifier%g" \
$(git grep -I -l "\<$identifier\>")
done
I manually fixed line-wrap issues and misaligned rST tables.

RCU_READ_LOCK_GUARD() takes the rcu_read_lock and then uses glib's
g_auto infrastructure (and thus whatever the compiler's hooks are) to
release it on all exits of the block.
WITH_RCU_READ_LOCK_GUARD() is similar but is used as a wrapper for the
lock, i.e.:
WITH_RCU_READ_LOCK_GUARD() {
stuff under lock
}
Note the 'unused' attribute is needed to work around clang bug:

This new header file provides heavy-weight "global" memory barriers that
enforce memory ordering on each running thread belonging to the current
process. For now, use a dummy implementation that issues memory barriers
on both sides (matching what QEMU has been doing so far).

Prepare for introducing smp_mb_placeholder() and smp_mb_global().
The new smp_mb() in synchronize_rcu() is not strictly necessary, since
the first atomic_mb_set for rcu_gp_ctr provides the required ordering.
However, synchronize_rcu is not performance critical, and it *will* be
necessary to introduce a smp_mb_global before calling wait_for_readers().

This reverts commit a59629fcc6.
This is not needed anymore because the IOThread mutex is not
"magic" anymore (need not kick the CPU thread)and also because
fork callbacks are only enabled at the very beginning of
QEMU's execution.

Because of -daemonize, system mode QEMU sometimes needs to fork() and
keep RCU enabled in the child. However, there is a possible deadlock
with synchronize_rcu:
- the CPU thread is inside a RCU critical section and wants to take
the BQL in order to do MMIO
- the monitor thread, which is owning the BQL, calls rcu_init_lock
which tries to take the rcu_sync_lock
- the call_rcu thread has taken rcu_sync_lock in synchronize_rcu, but
synchronize_rcu needs the CPU thread to end the critical section
before returning.
This cannot happen for user-mode emulation, because it does not have
a BQL.
To fix it, assume that system mode QEMU only forks in preparation for
exec (except when daemonizing) and disable pthread_atfork as soon as
the double fork has happened.

rcu_read_lock cannot change rcu_gp_ongoing from true to false
(the previous value of p_rcu_reader->ctr is zero), hence
there is no need to check p_rcu_reader->waiting and wake up
a concurrent synchronize_rcu.
While at it mark the wakeup as unlikely in rcu_read_unlock.

If QEMU forks after the CPU threads have been created, qemu_mutex_lock_iothread
will not be able to do qemu_cpu_kick_thread. There is no solution other than
assuming that forks after the CPU threads have been created will end up in an
exec. Forks before the CPU threads have been created (such as -daemonize)
have to call rcu_after_fork manually.
Notably, the oxygen theme for GTK+ forks and shows a "No such process" error
without this patch.
This patch can be reverted once the iothread loses the "kick the TCG thread"
magic.
User-mode emulation does not use the iothread, so it can also call
rcu_after_fork.

Asynchronous callbacks provided by call_rcu are particularly important
for QEMU, because the BQL makes it hard to use synchronize_rcu.
In addition, the current RCU implementation is not particularly friendly
to multiple concurrent synchronize_rcu callers, making call_rcu even
more important.

This includes a (mangled) copy of the liburcu code. The main changes
are: 1) removing dependencies on many other header files in liburcu; 2)
removing for simplicity the tentative busy waiting in synchronize_rcu,
which has limited performance effects; 3) replacing futexes in
synchronize_rcu with QemuEvents for Win32 portability. The API is
the same as liburcu, so it should be possible in the future to require
liburcu on POSIX systems for example and use our copy only on Windows.
Among the various versions available I chose urcu-mb, which is the
least invasive implementation even though it does not have the
fastest rcu_read_{lock,unlock} implementation. The urcu flavor can
be changed later, after benchmarking.
