[lttng-dev] [RELEASE] Userspace RCU 0.7.14 and 0.8.7

[Mathieu Desnoyers]

Here are two new releases of userspace RCU for the 0.7 and 0.8
stable branches currently maintained. Those are bugfix releases.

liburcu is a LGPLv2.1 userspace RCU (read-copy-update) library. This
data synchronization library provides read-side access which scales
linearly with the number of cores. It does so by allowing multiples
copies of a given data structure to live at the same time, and by
monitoring the data structure accesses to detect grace periods after
which memory reclamation is possible.

liburcu-cds provides efficient data structures based on RCU and
lock-free algorithms. Those structures include hash tables, queues,
stacks, and doubly-linked lists.
