Thomas Munro 2f76ffe5e4 Fix generic read and write barriers for Clang. ... generic-gcc.h maps our read and write barriers to C11 acquire and release fences using compiler builtins, for platforms where we don't have our own hand-rolled assembler. This is apparently enough for GCC, but the C11 memory model is only defined in terms of atomic accesses, and our barriers for non-atomic, non-volatile accesses were not always respected under Clang's stricter interpretation of the standard. This explains the occasional breakage observed on new RISC-V + Clang animal greenfly in lock-free PgAioHandle manipulation code containing a repeating pattern of loads and read barriers. The problem can also be observed in code generated for MIPS and LoongAarch, though we aren't currently testing those with Clang, and on x86, though we use our own assembler there. The scariest aspect is that we use the generic version on very common ARM systems, but it doesn't seem to reorder the relevant code there (or we'd have debugged this long ago). Fix by inserting an explicit compiler barrier. It expands to an empty assembler block declared to have memory side-effects, so registers are flushed and reordering is prevented. In those respects this is like the architecture-specific assembler versions, but the compiler is still in charge of generating the appropriate fence instruction. Done for write barriers on principle, though concrete problems have only been observed with read barriers.
