I've just run an out-of-tree test program I have for the DSW scheduler, which verify scheduler atomic semantics. The results are:
Non-C11 mode: pass
C11 mode before this patch set: fail
C11 mode after this patch set: pass

This suggests the current C11 mode is broken even on x86_64. I haven't been following this thread closely, so maybe this is known already.

I've also run an out-of-tree DSW throughput benchmark, and I've found that going from Non-C11 to C11 gives a 4% slowdown. After this patch, the slowdown is only 2,8%.

GCC 7.3.0 and a Skylake x86_64.
