    [base] Avoid pthread_rwlock_t on Mac · 3a44f269
    Clemens Backes authored
    pthread_rwlock_t can deadlock on Mac if signals are sent to the process
    in the wrong moment. Since we use processes e.g. for sampling profiling
    (in both d8 and in Chrome), we hence cannot safely use pthread_rwlock_t
    on Mac. Instead, fall back to a non-shared pthread_mutex_t.
    
    Interestingly, this shows no measurable performance impact in Wasm
    compilation on my MBP.
