/*
* Fuzzy Synchronisation - abreviated to fzsync
*
* This library is intended to help reproduce race conditions by providing two
* thread synchronisation mechanisms. The first is a 'checkpoint' system where
* each thread will wait indefinitely for the other to enter a checkpoint
* before continuing. This is acheived by calling tst_fzsync_wait() and/or
* tst_fzsync_wait_update() at the points you want to synchronise in each
* thread. This is functionally very similar to using pthread_barrier_wait()
* with two threads. However tst_fzsync_wait() can be inlined and is
* guaranteed not to call sleep or futex.
*
* The second takes the form a of a delay which is calculated by measuring the
* time difference between two points in each thread and comparing it to the
* desired difference (default is zero). Using a delay allows you to
* synchronise the threads at a point outside of your direct control
* (e.g. inside the kernel) or just increase the accuracy for the first
* mechanism. It is acheived using tst_fzsync_delay_{a,b}(),
* tst_fzsync_time_{a,b}() and tst_fzsync[_wait_]update().
*
* For a usage example see testcases/cve/cve-2016-7117.c or just run
* 'git grep tst_fuzzy_sync.h'
