/*
* Maintain a table of indirect references. Used for local/global JNI
* references.
*
* The table contains object references that are part of the GC root set.
* When an object is added we return an IndirectRef that is not a valid
* pointer but can be used to find the original value in O(1) time.
* Conversions to and from indirect refs are performed on JNI method calls
* in and out of the VM, so they need to be very fast.
*
* To be efficient for JNI local variable storage, we need to provide
* operations that allow us to operate on segments of the table, where
* segments are pushed and popped as if on a stack. For example, deletion
* of an entry should only succeed if it appears in the current segment,
* and we want to be able to strip off the current segment quickly when
* a method returns. Additions to the table must be made in the current
* segment even if space is available in an earlier area.
*
* A new segment is created when we call into native code from interpreted
* code, or when we handle the JNI PushLocalFrame function.
*
* The GC must be able to scan the entire table quickly.
*
* In summary, these must be very fast:
* - adding or removing a segment
* - adding references to a new segment
* - converting an indirect reference back to an Object
* These can be a little slower, but must still be pretty quick:
* - adding references to a "mature" segment
* - removing individual references
* - scanning the entire table straight through
*
* If there's more than one segment, we don't guarantee that the table
* will fill completely before we fail due to lack of space. We do ensure
* that the current segment will pack tightly, which should satisfy JNI
* requirements (e.g. EnsureLocalCapacity).
*
* To make everything fit nicely in 32-bit integers, the maximum size of
* the table is capped at 64K.
*
* None of the table functions are synchronized.

/*
* Indirect reference definition. This must be interchangeable with JNI's
* jobject, and it's convenient to let null be null, so we use void*.
*
* We need a 16-bit table index and a 2-bit reference type (global, local,
* weak global). Real object pointers will have zeroes in the low 2 or 3
* bits (4- or 8-byte alignment), so it's useful to put the ref type
* in the low bits and reserve zero as an invalid value.
*
* The remaining 14 bits can be used to detect stale indirect references.
* For example, if objects don't move, we can use a hash of the original
* Object* to make sure the entry hasn't been re-used. (If the Object*
* we find there doesn't match because of heap movement, we could do a
* secondary check on the preserved hash value; this implies that creating
* a global/local ref queries the hash value and forces it to be saved.)
* This is only done when CheckJNI is enabled.
*
* A more rigorous approach would be to put a serial number in the extra
* bits, and keep a copy of the serial number in a parallel table. This is
* easier when objects can move, but requires 2x the memory and additional
* memory accesses on add/get. It will catch additional problems, e.g.:
* create iref1 for obj, delete iref1, create iref2 for same obj, lookup
* iref1. A pattern based on object bits will miss this.

/*
* Table definition.
*
* For the global reference table, the expected common operations are
* adding a new entry and removing a recently-added entry (usually the
* most-recently-added entry). For JNI local references, the common
* operations are adding a new entry and removing an entire table segment.
*
* If "allocEntries" is not equal to "maxEntries", the table may expand
* when entries are added, which means the memory may move. If you want
* to keep pointers into "table" rather than offsets, you must use a
* fixed-size table.
*
* If we delete entries from the middle of the list, we will be left with
* "holes". We track the number of holes so that, when adding new elements,
* we can quickly decide to do a trivial append or go slot-hunting.
*
* When the top-most entry is removed, any holes immediately below it are
* also removed. Thus, deletion of an entry may reduce "topIndex" by more
* than one.
*
* To get the desired behavior for JNI locals, we need to know the bottom
* and top of the current "segment". The top is managed internally, and
* the bottom is passed in as a function argument (the VM keeps it in a
* slot in the interpreted stack frame). When we call a native method or
* push a local frame, the current top index gets pushed on, and serves
* as the new bottom. When we pop a frame off, the value from the stack
* becomes the new top index, and the value stored in the previous frame
* becomes the new bottom.
*
* To avoid having to re-scan the table after a pop, we want to push the
* number of holes in the table onto the stack. Because of our 64K-entry
* cap, we can combine the two into a single unsigned 32-bit value.
* Instead of a "bottom" argument we take a "cookie", which includes the
* bottom index and the count of holes below the bottom.
*
* We need to minimize method call/return overhead. If we store the
* "cookie" externally, on the interpreted call stack, the VM can handle
* pushes and pops with a single 4-byte load and store. (We could also
* store it internally in a public structure, but the local JNI refs are
* logically tied to interpreted stack frames anyway.)
*
* Common alternative implementation: make IndirectRef a pointer to the
* actual reference slot. Instead of getting a table and doing a lookup,
* the lookup can be done instantly. Operations like determining the
* type and deleting the reference are more expensive because the table
* must be hunted for (i.e. you have to do a pointer comparison to see
* which table it's in), you can't move the table when expanding it (so
* realloc() is out), and tricks like serial number checking to detect
* stale references aren't possible (though we may be able to get similar
* benefits with other approaches).
*
* TODO: consider a "lastDeleteIndex" for quick hole-filling when an
* add immediately follows a delete; must invalidate after segment pop
* (which could increase the cost/complexity of method call/return).
* Might be worth only using it for JNI globals.
*
* TODO: may want completely different add/remove algorithms for global
* and local refs to improve performance. A large circular buffer might
* reduce the amortized cost of adding global references.
*
* TODO: if we can guarantee that the underlying storage doesn't move,
* e.g. by using oversized mmap regions to handle expanding tables, we may
* be able to avoid having to synchronize lookups. Might make sense to
* add a "synchronized lookup" call that takes the mutex as an argument,
* and either locks or doesn't lock based on internal details.
