This function provides an alternate way to leave a critical section run
under thread_isolate(). Currently, a thread may remain in thread_release()
without having the time to notice that the rdv mask was released and taken
again by another thread entering thread_isolate() (often the same that just
released it). This is because threads wait in harmless mode in the loop,
which is compatible with the conditions to enter thread_isolate(). It's
not possible to make them wait with the harmless bit off or we cannot know
when the job is finished for the next thread to start in thread_isolate(),
and if we don't clear the rdv bit when going there, we create another
race on the start point of thread_isolate().
This new synchronous variant of thread_release() makes use of an extra
mask to indicate the threads that want to be synchronously released. In
this case, they will be marked harmless before releasing their sync bit,
and will wait for others to release their bit as well, guaranteeing that
thread_isolate() cannot be started by any of them before they all left
thread_sync_release(). This allows to construct synchronized blocks like
this :
thread_isolate()
/* optionally do something alone here */
thread_sync_release()
/* do something together here */
thread_isolate()
/* optionally do something alone here */
thread_sync_release()
And so on. This is particularly useful during initialization where several
steps have to be respected and no thread must start a step before the
previous one is completed by other threads.
This one must not be placed after any call to thread_release() or it would
risk to block an earlier call to thread_isolate() which the current thread
managed to leave without waiting for others to complete, and end up here
with the thread's harmless bit cleared, blocking others. This might be
improved in the future.
