// The SplitWord construct allows us to colocate the contention queue
// (cxq) with the lock-byte.  The queue elements are ParkEvents, which are
// always aligned on 256-byte addresses - the least significant byte of
// a ParkEvent is always 0.  Colocating the lock-byte with the queue
// allows us to easily avoid what would otherwise be a race in lock()
// if we were to use two completely separate fields for the contention queue
// and the lock indicator.  Specifically, colocation renders us immune
// from the race where a thread might enqueue itself in the lock() slow-path
// immediately after the lock holder drops the outer lock in the unlock()
// fast-path.
//
// Colocation allows us to use a fast-path unlock() form that uses
// A MEMBAR instead of a CAS.  MEMBAR has lower local latency than CAS
// on many platforms.
//
// See:
// +  http://blogs.sun.com/dave/entry/biased_locking_in_hotspot
// +  http://blogs.sun.com/dave/resource/synchronization-public2.pdf
//
// Note that we're *not* using word-tearing the classic sense.
// The lock() fast-path will CAS the lockword and the unlock()
// fast-path will store into the lock-byte colocated within the lockword.
// We depend on the fact that all our reference platforms have
// coherent and atomic byte accesses.  More precisely, byte stores
// interoperate in a safe, sane, and expected manner with respect to
// CAS, ST and LDs to the full-word containing the byte.
// If you're porting HotSpot to a platform where that isn't the case
// then you'll want change the unlock() fast path from:
//    STB;MEMBAR #storeload; LDN
// to a full-word CAS of the lockword.

//
// Currently, however, the base object is a monitor.  Monitor contains all the
// logic for wait(), notify(), etc.   Mutex extends monitor and restricts the
// visibility of wait(), notify(), and notify_all().
//
// Another viable alternative would have been to have Monitor extend Mutex and
// implement all the normal mutex and wait()-notify() logic in Mutex base class.
// The wait()-notify() facility would be exposed via special protected member functions
// (e.g., _Wait() and _Notify()) in Mutex.  Monitor would extend Mutex and expose wait()
// as a call to _Wait().  That is, the public wait() would be a wrapper for the protected
// _Wait().
//
// An even better alternative is to simply eliminate Mutex:: and use Monitor:: instead.
// After all, monitors are sufficient for Java-level synchronization.   At one point in time
// there may have been some benefit to having distinct mutexes and monitors, but that time
// has past.

// The Mutex/Monitor design parallels that of Java-monitors, being based on
// thread-specific park-unpark platform-specific primitives.
