    Make Barrier robust against spurious wakeups · 5567c11b
    Hans Boehm authored
    Fix Barrier implementation so that Wait cannot return prematurely
    due to a spurious condition variable wakeup or interrupted futex call.
    
    Document the resulting semantics of barrier.h, which are a bit surprising,
    but appear to be exactly what current clients need.
    
    Fix the test so that it actually passes with the fixed barrier.h,
    and no longer tests for properties that can't be correctly satisfied.
    
    Improve comment for InitTimeSpec, which we almost used.
