+ Add lock profiling tool.</p>
+ <p>
+ The Lock profiling tool, lcnt, can make use of the
+ internal lock statistics when the runtime system is built
+ with this feature enabled.</p>
+ <p>
+ This provides a mechanism to examine potential lock
+ bottlenecks within the runtime itself.</p>
+ <p>
+ - Add erts_debug:lock_counters({copy_save, bool()}). This
+ option enables or disables statistics saving for
+ destroyed processes and ets-tables. Enabling this might
+ consume a lot of memory.</p>
+ <p>
+ - Add id-numbering for lock classes which is otherwise
+ undefined.</p>
