/* This file implements objc_sync_enter() and objc_sync_exit(), the
   two functions required to support @synchronized().

   objc_sync_enter(object) needs to get a recursive lock associated
   with 'object', and lock it.
   
   objc_sync_exit(object) needs to get the recursive lock associated
   with 'object', and unlock it.  */

/* To avoid the overhead of continuously allocating and deallocating
   locks, we implement a pool of locks.  When a lock is needed for an
   object, we get a lock from the pool and associate it with the
   object.
 
   The lock pool need to be protected by its own lock (the
   "protection" lock), which has to be locked then unlocked each time
   objc_sync_enter() and objc_sync_exit() are called.  To reduce the
   contention on the protection lock, instead of a single pool with a
   single (global) protection lock we use a number of smaller pools,
   each with its own pool protection lock.  To decide which lock pool
   to use for each object, we compute a hash from the object pointer.
 
   The implementation of each lock pool uses a linked list of all the
   locks in the pool (both unlocked, and locked); this works in the
   assumption that the number of locks concurrently required is very
   low.  In practice, it seems that you rarely see more than a few
   locks ever concurrently required.
 
   A standard case is a thread acquiring a lock recursively, over and
   over again: for example when most methods of a class are protected
   by @synchronized(self) but they also call each other.  We use
   thread-local storage to implement a cache and optimize this case.
   The cache stores locks that the thread successfully acquired,
   allowing objc_sync_enter() and objc_sync_exit() to locate a lock
   which is already held by the current thread without having to use
   any protection lock or synchronization mechanism.  It can so detect
   recursive locks/unlocks, and transform them into no-ops that
   require no actual locking or synchronization mechanisms at all.  */

   the code with and without it) by compiling with
   -DSYNC_CACHE_DISABLE, or commenting out the following line.  */

   slots instead of 4 is very small compared to the other overheads
   involved such as function calls and lock/unlock operations), but at
   large sizes it becomes important as obviously there is a size over
   which using the cache backfires: the lookup is so slow that the
   cache slows down the software instead of speeding it up.  In
   practice, it seems that most threads use a small number of
   concurrent locks, so we have a conservative implementation with a
   fixed-size cache of 8 locks which gives a very predictable
