What's new:
-----------
- strftime(3) supports %s (seconds since Epoch) now.
- posix_madvise(POSIX_MADV_WILLNEED) now utilizes OS functionality available
starting with Windows 8/Server 2012. Still a no-op on older systems.
- posix_madvise(POSIX_MADV_DONTNEED) now utilizes OS functionality available
starting with Windows 8.1/Server 2012R2. Still a no-op on older systems.
Allow sysconf to return CPU cache information * include/sys/unistd.h (_SC_LEVEL*): Add cache-related variables as on Linux. * fhandler_proc.cc (format_proc_cpuinfo): Fetch cache information from new cache functions in sysconf.cc, get_cpu_cache_intel and get_cpu_cache_amd. * sysconf.cc (__nt_query_system): New local helper. (get_nproc_values): Utilize __nt_query_system on pre-Windows 7 systems. Use GetLogicalProcessorInformationEx otherwise to handle more than 64 CPUs. Only handle _SC_NPROCESSORS_CONF and _SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN. (get_phys_pages): New helper to handle _SC_PHYS_PAGES. (cpuid2_cache_descriptor): New array to map Intel CPUID 2 descriptor values to cache type, cache size, associativity and linesize. (cpuid2_cache_desc_compar): Comparision function for bsearch over cpuid2_cache_descriptor. (get_cpu_cache_intel_cpuid2): New function to fetch cache info from Intel CPUID 2. (get_cpu_cache_intel_cpuid4): Ditto from Intel CPUID 4. (get_cpu_cache_intel): New function as CPU-specific entry point. (assoc): New array to map associativity values from AMD CPUID 0x80000006. (get_cpu_cache_amd): New function to fetch cache info from AMD CPUIDs 0x80000005 and 0x80000006. (get_cpu_cache): New function to fetch cache info. (sca): Call get_phys_pages if _SC_PHYS_PAGES is requested. Call get_cpu_cache for new _SC_* cache requests. (SC_MAX): Set to _SC_LEVEL4_CACHE_LINESIZE. (get_phys_pages(void)): Call get_phys_pages(int). * include/cygwin/version.h (CYGWIN_VERSION_API_MINOR): Bump. * new-features.xml (ov-new2.3): Document sysconf cache addition.

- sysconf() now supports returning CPU cache information:
_SC_LEVEL1_ICACHE_SIZE, _SC_LEVEL1_ICACHE_ASSOC, _SC_LEVEL1_ICACHE_LINESIZE,
_SC_LEVEL1_DCACHE_SIZE, _SC_LEVEL1_DCACHE_ASSOC, _SC_LEVEL1_DCACHE_LINESIZE,
_SC_LEVEL2_CACHE_SIZE, _SC_LEVEL2_CACHE_ASSOC, _SC_LEVEL2_CACHE_LINESIZE,
_SC_LEVEL3_CACHE_SIZE, _SC_LEVEL3_CACHE_ASSOC, _SC_LEVEL3_CACHE_LINESIZE,
_SC_LEVEL4_CACHE_SIZE, _SC_LEVEL4_CACHE_ASSOC, _SC_LEVEL4_CACHE_LINESIZE
- New API: aligned_alloc, at_quick_exit, quick_exit.
What changed:
-------------
- Add support for Parallels Desktop FS (prlfs).
Bug Fixes
---------
- Fix a hang when stracing a forking or spawning process without activating
stracing of child processes.
