    tools/memory-model: Dynamically check SRCU lock-to-unlock matching · 9393998e
    Luc Maranget authored
    This commit checks that the return value of srcu_read_lock() is passed
    to the matching srcu_read_unlock(), where "matching" is determined by
    nesting.  This check operates as follows:
    
       1. srcu_read_lock() creates an integer token, which is stored into
          the generated events.
       2. srcu_read_unlock() records its second (token) argument into the
          generated event.
       3. A new herd primitive 'different-values' filters out pairs of events
          with identical values from the relation passed as its argument.
       4. The bell file applies the above primitive to the (srcu)
          read-side-critical-section relation 'srcu-rscs' and flags non-empty
          results.
    
    BEWARE: Works only with herd version 7.51+6 and onwards.
