Lots of pthread platforms unnecessarily falled back on the pipe/select
solution. This since we tried to use the same monotonic clock source
for pthread_cond_timedwait() as used by OS monotonic time. This has
been fixed on most platforms by using another clock source.
Darwin can however not use pthread_cond_timedwait() with monotonic
clock source and has to use the pipe/select solution. On darwin we
now use select with _DARWIN_UNLIMITED_SELECT in order to be able to
handle a large amount of file descriptors.

These functions allow any thread to suspend any other thread
immediately and then resume all threads. This is useful when
doing a crash dump in order to get a more accurate picture
of what state the system is in.

Enable a cross compile Erlang/OTP platform to Android or Raspberry PI
using Android NDK. Port emulator and core application to support target
HW platform. Exclude any add-on services required for OTP platform deployment
into target hardware due to device fragmentation and jail-break requirements.

This simplified debugging on OSE and also limits the number of ppdata
keys that are created when beam is restarted.

A feature test for the lwsync instruction performed on PowerPC
hardware at runtime system startup got into an eternal loop if
the instruction was not supported. This bug was introduced in
erts-5.9/OTP-R15B.

The ethread atomics API now also provide double word size atomics.
Double word size atomics are implemented using native atomic
instructions on x86 (when the cmpxchg8b instruction is available)
and on x86_64 (when the cmpxchg16b instruction is available). On
other hardware where 32-bit atomics or word size atomics are
available, an optimized fallback is used; otherwise, a spinlock,
or a mutex based fallback is used.
The ethread library now performs runtime tests for presence of
hardware features, such as for example SSE2 instructions, instead
of requiring this to be determined at compile time.
There are now functions implementing each atomic operation with the
following implied memory barrier semantics: none, read, write,
acquire, release, and full. Some of the operation-barrier
combinations aren't especially useful. But instead of filtering
useful ones out, and potentially miss a useful one, we implement
them all.
A much smaller set of functionality for native atomics are required
to be implemented than before. More or less only cmpxchg and a
membar macro are required to be implemented for each atomic size.
Other functions will automatically be constructed from these. It is,
of course, often wise to implement more that this if possible from a
performance perspective.

The atomic memory operations interface used the 'long' type and assumed that
it was of the same size as 'void *'. This is true on most platforms, however,
not on Windows 64.

Large parts of the ethread library have been rewritten. The
ethread library is an Erlang runtime system internal, portable
thread library used by the runtime system itself.
Most notable improvement is a reader optimized rwlock
implementation which dramatically improve the performance of
read-lock/read-unlock operations on multi processor systems by
avoiding ping-ponging of the rwlock cache lines. The reader
optimized rwlock implementation is used by miscellaneous
rwlocks in the runtime system that are known to be read-locked
frequently, and can be enabled on ETS tables by passing the
`{read_concurrency, true}' option upon table creation. See the
documentation of `ets:new/2' for more information.
The ethread library can now also use the libatomic_ops library
for atomic memory accesses. This makes it possible for the
Erlang runtime system to utilize optimized atomic operations
on more platforms than before. Use the
`--with-libatomic_ops=PATH' configure command line argument
when specifying where the libatomic_ops installation is
located. The libatomic_ops library can be downloaded from:
http://www.hpl.hp.com/research/linux/atomic_ops/
The changed API of the ethread library has also caused
modifications in the Erlang runtime system. Preparations for
the to come "delayed deallocation" feature has also been done
since it depends on the ethread library.
Note: When building for x86, the ethread library will now use
instructions that first appeared on the pentium 4 processor. If
you want the runtime system to be compatible with older
processors (back to 486) you need to pass the
`--enable-ethread-pre-pentium4-compatibility' configure command
line argument when configuring the system.
