/**
* Basic thread blocking primitives for creating locks and other
* synchronization classes.
*
* <p>This class associates with each thread that uses it, a permit
* (in the sense of the {@link java.util.concurrent.Semaphore
* Semaphore} class). A call to <tt>park</tt> will return immediately
* if the permit is available, consuming it in the process; otherwise
* it <em>may</em> block. A call to <tt>unpark</tt> makes the permit
* available, if it was not already available. (Unlike with Semaphores
* though, permits do not accumulate. There is at most one.)
*
* <p>Methods <tt>park</tt> and <tt>unpark</tt> provide efficient
* means of blocking and unblocking threads that do not encounter the
* problems that cause the deprecated methods <tt>Thread.suspend</tt>
* and <tt>Thread.resume</tt> to be unusable for such purposes: Races
* between one thread invoking <tt>park</tt> and another thread trying
* to <tt>unpark</tt> it will preserve liveness, due to the
* permit. Additionally, <tt>park</tt> will return if the caller's
* thread was interrupted, and timeout versions are supported. The
* <tt>park</tt> method may also return at any other time, for "no
* reason", so in general must be invoked within a loop that rechecks
* conditions upon return. In this sense <tt>park</tt> serves as an
* optimization of a "busy wait" that does not waste as much time
* spinning, but must be paired with an <tt>unpark</tt> to be
* effective.
*
* <p>These methods are designed to be used as tools for creating
* higher-level synchronization utilities, and are not in themselves
* useful for most concurrency control applications.
*
* <p><b>Sample Usage.</b> Here is a sketch of a First-in-first-out
* non-reentrant lock class.
* <pre>
* private AtomicBoolean locked = new AtomicBoolean(false);
* private Queue&lt;Thread&gt; waiters = new ConcurrentLinkedQueue&lt;Thread&gt;();
*
* public void lock() {
* boolean wasInterrupted = false;
* Thread current = Thread.currentThread();
* waiters.add(current);
*
* // Block while not first in queue or cannot acquire lock
* while (waiters.peek() != current ||
* !locked.compareAndSet(false, true)) {
* LockSupport.park();
* if (Thread.interrupted()) // ignore interrupts while waiting
* wasInterrupted = true;
* }
*
* waiters.remove();
* if (wasInterrupted) // reassert interrupt status on exit
* current.interrupt();
* }
*
* public void unlock() {
* locked.set(false);
* LockSupport.unpark(waiters.peek());
* }
* }
* </pre>
