Willy Tarreau b2f38c13d1 BUG/MINOR: thread: always reload threads_enabled in loops
A few loops waiting for threads to synchronize such as thread_isolate()
rightfully filter the thread masks via the threads_enabled field that
contains the list of enabled threads. However, it doesn't use an atomic
load on it. Before 2.7, the equivalent variables were marked as volatile
and were always reloaded. In 2.7 they're fields in ha_tgroup_ctx[], and
the risk that the compiler keeps them in a register inside a loop is not
null at all. In practice when ha_thread_relax() calls sched_yield() or
an x86 PAUSE instruction, it could be verified that the variable is
always reloaded. If these are avoided (e.g. architecture providing
neither solution), it's visible in asm code that the variables are not
reloaded. In this case, if a thread exists just between the moment the
two values are read, the loop could spin forever.

This patch adds the required _HA_ATOMIC_LOAD() on the relevant
threads_enabled fields. It must be backported to 2.7.

The HAProxy documentation has been split into a number of different files for
ease of use.

Please refer to the following files depending on what you're looking for :

  - INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install HAProxy
  - BRANCHES to understand the project's life cycle and what version to use
  - LICENSE for the project's license
  - CONTRIBUTING for the process to follow to submit contributions

The more detailed documentation is located into the doc/ directory :

  - doc/intro.txt for a quick introduction on HAProxy
  - doc/configuration.txt for the configuration's reference manual
