The YieldProcessor macro can act as a stand in for this purpose, as it compiles down to a single pause instruction on x64 (Which seems to be all that one needs to implement SpinPause in HotSpot). I am less certain about the Windows/ARM64 implementation. There, YieldProcessor compiles down to dmb ishst; yield and I am unsure whether that is a correct SpinPause implementation. If need be, I can retract the ARM64 implementation and only have this for x86

Linux/ARM64 confuses me a little, since the implementation for the spin_wait stub seems to be completely empty: https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/5995786dbd69ed11dd1cacb2a3ac86e3e6f43ab7/src/hotspot/cpu/aarch64/stubRoutines_aarch64.cpp#L61
