futex(2) - Linux manual page
https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/futex.2.html
> Note that a wake-up can also be caused by common futex usage patterns
> in unrelated code that happened to have previously used the futex
> word's memory location (e.g., typical futex-based implementations of
> Pthreads mutexes can cause this under some conditions). Therefore,
> callers should always conservatively assume that a return value of 0
> can mean a spurious wake-up, and use the futex word's value (i.e.,
> the user-space synchronization scheme) to decide whether to continue
> to block or not.

The header file was introduced by fbcc3e5 ("qemu-thread: optimize QemuLockCnt
with futexes on Linux", 2017-01-16) without header guards. Add them.

This is complex, but I think it is reasonably documented in the source.
