[PATCH v2 00/33] remove rte_smp_XX barrier

[Stephen Hemminger <stephen@networkplumber.org>]

This patch series completes the removal of rte_smp_XX barrier
functions that was announced over five years ago (20.05).

In the process several cases of race conditions were found
and fixed. See patches 3, 4, and 17. These are marked with Fixes:
tags and Cc: stable.

Most of this is mechanical with AI assistance, so strongly
encourage maintainers to take a good look.

Functional and build run on x86 and ARM native.
Should have no functional change, but as previous cleanups of
atomic have shown performance might be impacted by compiler bugs.

The lock-free stack patch measured faster than the generic version
it replaces, up to 63% on a 32-core x86 box; the numbers are in
that patch's commit message.

The RFC removed the barrier test outright.
Konstantin pointed out it still covers the custom x86 seq_cst fence,
so patch 19 now keeps the Peterson lock test and rewrites it around
rte_atomic_thread_fence(rte_memory_order_seq_cst) instead.
Need some careful patch series ordering to keep this all bisect
clean.
