This should be the code that does the waiting:
https://github.com/erlang/otp/blob/master/erts/lib_src/pthread/ethr_event.c#L65-L161

The mutex implementation that calls it is in here:
https://github.com/erlang/otp/blob/master/erts/lib_src/common/ethr_mutex.c

The different spin options are set here:
https://github.com/erlang/otp/blob/master/erts/emulator/beam/erl_process.c#L5325-L5364

There are also a couple of other places where it spind in erl_process.c,
just search for spin and you'll find them :)
