/**
 * Note about GC synchronization:
 *
 * When entering `jl_gc_collect()`, `jl_gc_running` is atomically changed from
 * `0` to `1` to make sure that only one thread can be running the GC. Other
 * threads that enters `jl_gc_collect()` at the same time (or later calling
 * from unmanaged code) will wait in `jl_gc_collect()` until the GC is finished.
 *
 * Before starting the mark phase the GC thread calls `jl_safepoint_gc_start()`
 * and `jl_gc_wait_for_the_world()`
 * to make sure all the thread are in a safe state for the GC. The function
 * activates the safepoint and wait for all the threads to get ready for the
 * GC (`gc_state != 0`). It also acquires the `finalizers` lock so that no
 * other thread will access them when the GC is running.
 *
 * During the mark and sweep phase of the GC, the threads that are not running
 * the GC should either be running unmanaged code (or code section that does
 * not have a GC critical region mainly including storing to the stack or
 * another object) or paused at a safepoint and wait for the GC to finish.
 * If a thread want to switch from running unmanaged code to running managed
 * code, it has to perform a GC safepoint check after setting the `gc_state`
 * flag (see `jl_gc_state_save_and_set()`. it is possible that the thread might
 * have `gc_state == 0` in the middle of the GC transition back before entering
 * the safepoint. This is fine since the thread won't be executing any GC
 * critical region during that time).
 *
 * The finalizers are run after the GC finishes in normal mode (the `gc_state`
 * when `jl_gc_collect` is called) with `jl_in_finalizer = 1`. (TODO:) When we
 * have proper support of GC transition in codegen, we should execute the
 * finalizers in unmanaged (GC safe) mode.
