Use __atomic_thread_fence(__ATOMIC_ACQ_REL) for cmm_barrier(), so
ThreadSanitizer can understand the memory synchronization.

You should update the patch subject and commit message to replace "thread" by "signal".


FIXME: What should be the correct memory ordering here?

ACQ_REL is what we want here, I think this is fine. We want to prevent
the compiler from reordering loads/stores across the fence, but don't
want any barrier instructions issued.

We should probably make it SEQ_CST here as well, even though I doubt it changes anything in this very particular case of atomic_signal_fence.

Thanks,

Mathieu
