See the comment in the source. This race should actually not be important, but we fix it anyways for now to make the CI happy.

This should have been fine without the atomic property (as it is only a single writer and multiple readers to a single bit). Nevertheless we fixed the 'race' to remove a warning in the thread sanitizer.

This was highlighted as an issue in the steal_work routine, as frequent calls to virtual functions are expensive.

Please note that this does currently not execute, but only removed the 'old aspecs'. We are still missing launching the root fork_join task.

This resulted from an merge gone wrong.

These currently do nothing but being boilerplate required to implement a new top level task.

The __thread implementation of thread local, static variables seems more efficient, so we activate this by default. If it is (for some reason) not available/slower than the pthread version, one can toggle it for the specific system/processor later on using macros.

We do this to properly separate the cache alginment logic in the next step, allowing us to port all cache aligned objects without worrying about portability.
