Some EthashAux functions are protected by mutexes. These mutexes are
normal members of the EthashAux class which itself is a singleton. It
can happen that multiple threads will get inside the singleton creation
`get()` functions when requesting a lock, but the lock will not be
acquired due to the singleton not yet existing.
This leads to multiple threads going in the same code and causing double
free corruption.
Making the mutexes static members of the singleton should hopefully
address the issue
- Added new option --cl-extragpumem with which you can let the OpenCL
miner know how much GPU memory you believe your system would need for
miscellaneous stuff like Windowing system rendering e.t.c. The default
is 350 MB.
- Added new option --curent-block with which you can let the miner know
the current block during the configuration phase and as such help him
provide a much more accurate calculation of how much GPU memory is
required.
- Added help(documentation) for some arguments that did not have one
