/**
 * 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.

// This is the main marking loop.
// It uses an iterative (mostly) Depth-first search (DFS) to mark all the objects.
// Instead of using the native stack, two stacks are manually maintained,
// one (fixed-size) pc stack which stores the return address and one (variable-size)
// data stack which stores the local variables needed by the scanning code.
// Using a manually maintained stack has a few advantages
//
// 1. We can resize the stack as we go and never worry about stack overflow
//    This is especitally useful when enters the GC in a deep call stack.
//    It also removes the very deep GC call stack in a profile.
// 2. We can minimize the number of local variables to save on the stack.
//    This includes minimizing the sizes of the stack frames and only saving variables
//    that have been changed before making "function calls" (i.e. `goto mark;`)
// 3. We can perform end-of-loop tail-call optimization for common cases.
// 4. The marking can be interrupted more easily since all the states are maintained
//    in a well-defined format already.
//    This will be useful if we want to have incremental marking again.
// 5. The frames can be stolen by another thread more easily and it is not necessary
//    to copy works to be stolen to another queue. Useful for parallel marking.
//    (Will still require synchronization in stack popping of course.)
// 6. A flat function (i.e. no or very few function calls) also give the compiler
//    opportunity to keep more states in registers that doesn't have to be spilled as often.
//
// We use two stacks so that the thief on another thread can steal the fixed sized pc stack
// and use that to figure out the size of the struct on the variable size data stack.
//
// The main disadvantages are that we bypass some stack-based CPU optimizations including the
// stack engine and return address prediction.
// Using two stacks also double the number of operations on the stack pointer
// though we still only need to use one of them (the pc stack pointer) for bounds check.
// In general, it seems that the reduction of stack memory ops and instructions count
// have a larger possitive effect on the performance. =)

// As a general guide we do not want to make non-inlined function calls in this function
// if possible since a large number of registers has to be spilled when that happens.
// This is especially true on on X86 which doesn't have many (any?)
// callee saved general purpose registers.
// (OTOH, the spill will likely make use of the stack engine which is otherwise idle so
//  the performance impact is minimum as long as it's not in the hottest path)

// There are three external entry points to the loop, corresponding to label
// `marked_obj`, `scan_only` and `finlist` (see the corresponding functions
// `gc_mark_queue_obj`, `gc_mark_queue_scan_obj` and `gc_mark_queue_finlist` above).
// The scanning of the object starts with `goto mark`, which updates the metadata and scans
// the object whose information is stored in `new_obj`, `tag` and `bits`.
// The branches in `mark` will dispatch the object to one of the scan "loop"s to be scanned
// as either a normal julia object or one of the special objects with specific storage format.
// Each of the scan "loop" will preform a DFS of the object in the following way
//
// 1. When encountering an pointer (julia object reference) slots, load, preform NULL check
//    and atomically set the mark bits to determine if the object needs to be scanned.
// 2. If yes, it'll push itself back onto the mark stack (after updating fields that are changed)
//    using `gc_repush_markdata` to increment the stack pointers.
//    This step can also be replaced by a tail call by finishing up the marking of the current
//    object when the end of the current object is reached.
// 3. Jump to `mark`. The marking of the current object will be resumed after the child is
//    scanned by popping the stack frame back.
//
// Some of the special object scannings use BFS to simplify the code (Task and Module).

// The jumps from the dispatch to the scan "loop"s are done by first pushing a frame
// to the stacks while only increment the data stack pointer before jumping to the loop
// This way the scan "loop" gets exactly what it expects after a stack pop.
// Additional optimizations are done for some of the common cases by skipping
// the unnecessary data stack pointer increment and the load from the stack
// (i.e. store to load forwaring). See `objary_loaded`, `obj8_loaded` and `obj16_loaded`.
