// JNI critical regions are the only participants in this scheme
// because they are, by spec, well bounded while in a critical region.
//
// Each of the following two method is split into a fast path and a
// slow path. JNICritical_lock is only grabbed in the slow path.
// _needs_gc is initially false and every java thread will go
// through the fast path, which simply increments or decrements the
// current thread's critical count. When GC happens at a safepoint,
// GCLocker::is_active() is checked. Since there is no safepoint in
// the fast path of lock_critical() and unlock_critical(), there is
// no race condition between the fast path and GC. After _needs_gc
// is set at a safepoint, every thread will go through the slow path
// after the safepoint. Since after a safepoint, each of the
// following two methods is either entered from the method entry and
// falls into the slow path, or is resumed from the safepoints in
// the method, which only exist in the slow path. So when _needs_gc
// is set, the slow path is always taken, till _needs_gc is cleared.
