Events: available bytes calculation via ioctl(FIONREAD). This makes it possible to avoid looping for a long time while working with a fast enough peer when data are added to the socket buffer faster than we are able to read and process them (ticket #1431). This is basically what we already do on FreeBSD with kqueue, where information about the number of bytes in the socket buffer is returned by the kevent() call. With other event methods rev->available is now set to -1 when the socket is ready for reading. Later in ngx_recv() and ngx_recv_chain(), if full buffer is received, real number of bytes in the socket buffer is retrieved using ioctl(FIONREAD). Reading more than this number of bytes ensures that even with edge-triggered event methods the event will be triggered again, so it is safe to stop processing of the socket and switch to other connections. Using ioctl(FIONREAD) only after reading a full buffer is an optimization. With this approach we only call ioctl(FIONREAD) when there are at least two recv()/readv() calls.

/*
 * All modern pthread mutex implementations try to acquire a lock
 * atomically in userland before going to sleep in kernel.  Some
 * spins before the sleeping.
 *
 * In Solaris since version 8 all mutex types spin before sleeping.
 * The default spin count is 1000.  It can be overridden using
 * _THREAD_ADAPTIVE_SPIN=100 environment variable.
 *
 * In MacOSX all mutex types spin to acquire a lock protecting a mutex's
 * internals.  If the mutex is busy, thread calls Mach semaphore_wait().
 *
 *
 * PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL lacks deadlock detection and is the fastest
 * mutex type.
 *
 *   Linux:    No spinning.  The internal name PTHREAD_MUTEX_TIMED_NP
 *             remains from the times when pthread_mutex_timedlock() was
 *             non-standard extension.  Alias name: PTHREAD_MUTEX_FAST_NP.
 *   FreeBSD:  No spinning.
 *
 *
 * PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK is usually as fast as PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL
 * yet has lightweight deadlock detection.
 *
 *   Linux:    No spinning.  The internal name: PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK_NP.
 *   FreeBSD:  No spinning.
 *
 *
 * PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE allows recursive locking.
 *
 *   Linux:    No spinning.  The internal name: PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE_NP.
 *   FreeBSD:  No spinning.
 *
 *
 * PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP spins on SMP systems before sleeping.
 *
 *   Linux:    No deadlock detection.  Dynamically changes a spin count
 *             for each mutex from 10 to 100 based on spin count taken
 *             previously.
 *   FreeBSD:  Deadlock detection.  The default spin count is 2000.
 *             It can be overridden using LIBPTHREAD_SPINLOOPS environment
 *             variable or by pthread_mutex_setspinloops_np().  If a lock
 *             is still busy, sched_yield() can be called on both UP and
 *             SMP systems.  The default yield loop count is zero, but
 *             it can be set by LIBPTHREAD_YIELDLOOPS environment
 *             variable or by pthread_mutex_setyieldloops_np().
 *   Solaris:  No PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP.
 *   MacOSX:   No PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP.
 *
 *
 * PTHREAD_MUTEX_ELISION_NP is a Linux extension to elide locks using
 * Intel Restricted Transactional Memory.  It is the most suitable for
 * rwlock pattern access because it allows simultaneous reads without lock.
 * Supported since glibc 2.18.
 *
 *
 * PTHREAD_MUTEX_DEFAULT is default mutex type.
 *
 *   Linux:    PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL.
 *   FreeBSD:  PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK.
 *   Solaris:  PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL.
 *   MacOSX:   PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL.
