This series is a try at using clang thread safety checks [1] to catch issues during compilation: EAL spinlock and rwlock are annotated and vhost code is instrumented so that clang can statically check correctness. This is still a work in progress (some documentation and a release note update are missing). Those annotations are quite heavy to maintain because the full path of code must be annotated, but I think it is worth using. 1: https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ThreadSafetyAnalysis.html
