test: fix parallel/test-tls-getcipher

The test blindly assumes that the default cipher suite supports RC4
ciphers. This corrects the case where RC4 might not be available in the
default ciphers by setting the client to use the same suite as the
server.

net: remove use of arguments in Server constructor

The current implementation uses the arguments object in the Server()
constructor. Since both arguments to Server() are optional, there was a
high likelihood of accessing a non-existent element in arguments, which
carries a performance overhead. This commit replaces the arguments

Working on v1.2.1

2015-02-10 io.js v1.2.0 Release

Notable changes:

* stream:
  - Simpler stream construction, see
    https://github.com/iojs/readable-stream/issues/102 for details.
    This extends the streams base objects to make their constructors
    accept default implementation methods, reducing the boilerplate
    required to implement custom streams. An updated version of
    readable-stream will eventually be released to match this change
    in core. (@sonewman)
* dns:
  - `lookup()` now supports an `'all'` boolean option, default to
    `false` but when turned on will cause the method to return an
    array of *all* resolved names for an address, see,
    https://github.com/iojs/io.js/pull/744 (@silverwind)
* assert:
  - Remove `prototype` property comparison in `deepEqual()`,
    considered a bugfix, see https://github.com/iojs/io.js/pull/636
    (@vkurchatkin)
  - Introduce a `deepStrictEqual()` method to mirror `deepEqual()`
    but performs strict equality checks on primitives, see
    https://github.com/iojs/io.js/pull/639 (@vkurchatkin)
* **tracing**:
  - Add LTTng (Linux Trace Toolkit Next Generation) when compiled
    with the  `--with-lttng` option. Trace points match those
    available for DTrace and ETW.
    https://github.com/iojs/io.js/pull/702 (@thekemkid)
* npm upgrade to 2.5.1
* **libuv** upgrade to 1.4.0
* Add new collaborators:
  - Aleksey Smolenchuk (@lxe)
  - Shigeki Ohtsu (@shigeki)

src: reduce cpu profiler overhead

Reduce the overhead of the CPU profiler by suppressing SIGPROF signals
when sleeping / polling for events. Avoids unnecessary wakeups when the
CPU profiler is active.

The benefits are quite substantial on systems where it is expensive to
query the system time (most virtualized environments). Before, it was
common to see over 20% of wall clock time being spent on clock_gettime()
system calls.

process: fix regression in unlistening signals

When the last signal listener is removed, the signal wrap should be
closed, restoring the default signal handling behaviour. This is done in
a (patched) process.removeListener(). However, events.removeAllListeners
has an optimization to avoid calling removeListener() if there are no
listeners for the 'removeListener' event, introduced in 56668f54d1. That
caused the following code to fail to terminate:

    process.stdin.resume();
    function listener() {};
    process.on('SIGINT', listener);
    process.removeAllListeners('SIGINT');
    process.kill(process.pid, 'SIGINT')

while the following will terminate:

    process.stdin.resume();
    function listener() {};
    process.on('SIGINT', listener);
    process.removeListener('SIGINT', listener);
    process.kill(process.pid, 'SIGINT')

Replace the method patching with use of the 'newListener' and
'removeListener' events, which will fire no matter which methods are
used to add or remove listeners.

events: remove indeterminancy from event ordering

The order of the `newListener` and `removeListener` events with respect
to the actual adding and removing from the underlying listeners array
should be deterministic. There is no compelling reason for leaving it
indeterminate. Changing the ordering is likely to result in breaking
code that was unwittingly relying on the current behaviour, and the
indeterminancy makes it impossible to use these events to determine when
the first or last listener is added for an event.
