#1 adds support for MADV_POPULATE_WRITE, #2 cleans up the code to avoid
global variables and prepare for concurrency, #3 and #4 optimize thread
handling, #5 makes os_mem_prealloc() safe to be called from multiple
threads concurrently and #6 makes the SIGBUS handler coexist cleanly with
the MCE SIGBUS handler under Linux.
Details regarding MADV_POPULATE_WRITE can be found in introducing upstream
Linux commit 4ca9b3859dac ("mm/madvise: introduce
MADV_POPULATE_(READ|WRITE) to prefault page tables") and in the latest man
page patch [1].
v1 -> v2:
- "util/oslib-posix: Support MADV_POPULATE_WRITE for os_mem_prealloc()"
-- Handle thread with no data to initialize
-- Always set use_madv_populate_write properly
-- Add comment regarding future fallocate() optimization
- "util/oslib-posix: Don't create too many threads with small memory or
little pages"
-- Added
- "util/oslib-posix: Avoid creating a single thread with
MADV_POPULATE_WRITE"
-- Added
- "util/oslib-posix: Support concurrent os_mem_prealloc() invocation"
-- Add missing g_once_init_leave()
-- Move g_once_init_enter() to the place where it is actually needed
- "util/oslib-posix: Forward SIGBUS to MCE handler under Linux"
