Subject: [RFC PATCH for 4.16 00/11] membarrier updates for 4.16

Hi,

I decided to split the membarrier updates from the rseq patchset, and
send it separately so each discussion can happen in different threads.

This series includes a fix for membarrier private expedited, which
should be merged into 4.15-rc and backported to 4.14. The fix has
also been sent separately.

Testing and documentation of membarrier is improved. A new shared
expedited membarrier command is added, allowing use of membarrier
expedited over shared memory mappings.

The series also introduces a "core serializing" private expedited
membarrier for JIT memory reclaim (currently on x86 and arm64).

Feedback is welcome!

Thanks,

Mathieu
