// #Overview
//
// GC automatically manages memory allocated by managed code.
// The design doc for GC can be found at Documentation/botr/garbage-collection.md
//
// This file includes both the code for GC and the allocator. The most common
// case for a GC to be triggered is from the allocator code. See
// code:#try_allocate_more_space where it calls GarbageCollectGeneration.
//
// Entry points for the allocator are GCHeap::Alloc* which are called by the
// allocation helpers in gcscan.cpp
//

// An explanation of locking for finalization:
//
// Multiple threads allocate objects.  During the allocation, they are serialized by
// the AllocLock above.  But they release that lock before they register the object
// for finalization.  That's because there is much contention for the alloc lock, but
// finalization is presumed to be a rare case.
//
// So registering an object for finalization must be protected by the FinalizeLock.
//
// There is another logical queue that involves finalization.  When objects registered
// for finalization become unreachable, they are moved from the "registered" queue to
// the "unreachable" queue.  Note that this only happens inside a GC, so no other
// threads can be manipulating either queue at that time.  Once the GC is over and
// threads are resumed, the Finalizer thread will dequeue objects from the "unreachable"
// queue and call their finalizers.  This dequeue operation is also protected with
// the finalize lock.
//
// At first, this seems unnecessary.  Only one thread is ever enqueuing or dequeuing
// on the unreachable queue (either the GC thread during a GC or the finalizer thread
// when a GC is not in progress).  The reason we share a lock with threads enqueuing
// on the "registered" queue is that the "registered" and "unreachable" queues are
// interrelated.
//
// They are actually two regions of a longer list, which can only grow at one end.
// So to enqueue an object to the "registered" list, you actually rotate an unreachable
// object at the boundary between the logical queues, out to the other end of the
// unreachable queue -- where all growing takes place.  Then you move the boundary
// pointer so that the gap we created at the boundary is now on the "registered"
// side rather than the "unreachable" side.  Now the object can be placed into the
// "registered" side at that point.  This is much more efficient than doing moves
// of arbitrarily long regions, but it causes the two queues to require a shared lock.
//
// Notice that Enter/LeaveFinalizeLock is not a GC-aware spin lock.  Instead, it relies
// on the fact that the lock will only be taken for a brief period and that it will
// never provoke or allow a GC while the lock is held.  This is critical.  If the
// FinalizeLock used enter_spin_lock (and thus sometimes enters preemptive mode to
// allow a GC), then the Alloc client would have to GC protect a finalizable object
// to protect against that eventuality.  That is too slow!
