Userspace RCU 0.7.17

Hi,

Even though the urcu stable-0.7 branch was supposed to be end of life, there is one last important fix for the urcu-signal flavor that was sitting in that branch that I would like to release before taking it away for good. All the good zombie movies start like this, right ?

liburcu is a LGPLv2.1 userspace RCU (read-copy-update) library. This data synchronization library provides read-side access which scales linearly with the number of cores. It does so by allowing multiple copies of a given data structure to live at the same time, and by monitoring the data structure accesses to detect grace periods after which memory reclamation is possible.

liburcu-cds provides efficient data structures based on RCU and lock-free algorithms. Those structures include hash tables, queues, stacks, and doubly-linked lists.

Changelog:
2016-04-26 Userspace RCU 0.7.17
