Hi,
This is stable release announcement for the Userspace RCU project. It covers the two currently maintained stable branches: 0.12 and 0.13, respectively with releases v0.12.4 and v0.13.2.
Especially for the spurious futex wakeup fix, users of the 0.12 and 0.13 (or older) liburcu branches are recommended to upgrade.
* Noteworthy in these releases:
- Handle spurious futex wakeups in urcu-qsbr, urcu, urcu-wait, defer_rcu, call_rcu, and workqueue code. This has been known to cause issues where the workqueue worker thread spuriously takes nearly 100% of CPU time.
- Change method used by _rcu_dereference ot strip type constness. Rather than using pointer arithmetic (which does not work with opaque types), rely on a statement expression trick.
- Fix support for Linux systems where sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_CONF) can return a value less than max cpu id.

Feedback is welcome!
Thanks,
Mathieu
