+// Access is an API for performing accesses with declarative semantics. Each access can have a number of "decorators".
+// A decorator is an attribute or property that affects the way a memory access is performed in some way.
+// There are different groups of decorators. Some have to do with memory ordering, others to do with,
+// e.g. strength of references, strength of GC barriers, or whether compression should be applied or not.
+// Some decorators are set at buildtime, such as whether primitives require GC barriers or not, others
+// at callsites such as whether an access is in the heap or not, and others are resolved at runtime
+// such as GC-specific barriers and encoding/decoding compressed oops.
+// By pipelining handling of these decorators, the design of the Access API allows separation of concern
+// over the different orthogonal concerns of decorators, while providing a powerful way of
+// expressing these orthogonal semantic properties in a unified way.
+
+// == OPERATIONS ==
+// * load: Load a value from an address.
+// * load_at: Load a value from an internal pointer relative to a base object.
+// * store: Store a value at an address.
+// * store_at: Store a value in an internal pointer relative to a base object.
+// * atomic_cmpxchg: Atomically compare-and-swap a new value at an address if previous value matched the compared value.
+// * atomic_cmpxchg_at: Atomically compare-and-swap a new value at an internal pointer address if previous value matched the compared value.
+// * atomic_xchg: Atomically swap a new value at an address if previous value matched the compared value.
+// * atomic_xchg_at: Atomically swap a new value at an internal pointer address if previous value matched the compared value.
+// * arraycopy: Copy data from one heap array to another heap array.
+// * clone: Clone the contents of an object to a newly allocated object.

+
+// == Memory Ordering Decorators ==
+// The memory ordering decorators can be described in the following way:
+// === Decorator Rules ===
+// The different types of memory ordering guarantees have a strict order of strength.
+// Explicitly specifying the stronger ordering implies that the guarantees of the weaker
+// property holds too. The names come from the C++11 atomic operations, and typically
+// have a JMM equivalent property.
+// The equivalence may be viewed like this:
+// MO_UNORDERED is equivalent to JMM plain.
+// MO_VOLATILE has no equivalence in JMM, because it's a C++ thing.
+// MO_RELAXED is equivalent to JMM opaque.
+// MO_ACQUIRE is equivalent to JMM acquire.
+// MO_RELEASE is equivalent to JMM release.
+// MO_SEQ_CST is equivalent to JMM volatile.
+//
+// === Stores ===
+//  * MO_UNORDERED (Default): No guarantees.
+//    - The compiler and hardware are free to reorder aggressively. And they will.
+//  * MO_VOLATILE: Volatile stores (in the C++ sense).
+//    - The stores are not reordered by the compiler (but possibly the HW) w.r.t. other
+//      volatile accesses in program order (but possibly non-volatile accesses).
+//  * MO_RELAXED: Relaxed atomic stores.
+//    - The stores are atomic.
+//    - Guarantees from volatile stores hold.
+//  * MO_RELEASE: Releasing stores.
+//    - The releasing store will make its preceding memory accesses observable to memory accesses
+//      subsequent to an acquiring load observing this releasing store.
+//    - Guarantees from relaxed stores hold.
+//  * MO_SEQ_CST: Sequentially consistent stores.
+//    - The stores are observed in the same order by MO_SEQ_CST loads on other processors
+//    - Preceding loads and stores in program order are not reordered with subsequent loads and stores in program order.
+//    - Guarantees from releasing stores hold.
+// === Loads ===
+//  * MO_UNORDERED (Default): No guarantees
+//    - The compiler and hardware are free to reorder aggressively. And they will.
+//  * MO_VOLATILE: Volatile loads (in the C++ sense).
+//    - The loads are not reordered by the compiler (but possibly the HW) w.r.t. other
+//      volatile accesses in program order (but possibly non-volatile accesses).
+//  * MO_RELAXED: Relaxed atomic loads.
+//    - The stores are atomic.
+//    - Guarantees from volatile loads hold.
+//  * MO_ACQUIRE: Acquiring loads.
+//    - An acquiring load will make subsequent memory accesses observe the memory accesses
+//      preceding the releasing store that the acquiring load observed.
+//    - Guarantees from relaxed loads hold.
+//  * MO_SEQ_CST: Sequentially consistent loads.
+//    - These loads observe MO_SEQ_CST stores in the same order on other processors
+//    - Preceding loads and stores in program order are not reordered with subsequent loads and stores in program order.
+//    - Guarantees from acquiring loads hold.
+// === Atomic Cmpxchg ===
+//  * MO_RELAXED: Atomic but relaxed cmpxchg.
+//    - Guarantees from MO_RELAXED loads and MO_RELAXED stores hold unconditionally.
+//  * MO_SEQ_CST: Sequentially consistent cmpxchg.
+//    - Guarantees from MO_SEQ_CST loads and MO_SEQ_CST stores hold unconditionally.
+// === Atomic Xchg ===
+//  * MO_RELAXED: Atomic but relaxed atomic xchg.
+//    - Guarantees from MO_RELAXED loads and MO_RELAXED stores hold.
+//  * MO_SEQ_CST: Sequentially consistent xchg.
+//    - Guarantees from MO_SEQ_CST loads and MO_SEQ_CST stores hold.

+
+// === Barrier Strength Decorators ===
+// * AS_RAW: The access will translate into a raw memory access, hence ignoring all semantic concerns
+//   except memory ordering and compressed oops. This will bypass runtime function pointer dispatching
+//   in the pipeline and hardwire to raw accesses without going trough the GC access barriers.
+//  - Accesses on oop* translate to raw memory accesses without runtime checks
+//  - Accesses on narrowOop* translate to encoded/decoded memory accesses without runtime checks
+//  - Accesses on HeapWord* translate to a runtime check choosing one of the above
+//  - Accesses on other types translate to raw memory accesses without runtime checks
+// * AS_NO_KEEPALIVE: The barrier is used only on oop references and will not keep any involved objects
+//   alive, regardless of the type of reference being accessed. It will however perform the memory access
+//   in a consistent way w.r.t. e.g. concurrent compaction, so that the right field is being accessed,
+//   or maintain, e.g. intergenerational or interregional pointers if applicable. This should be used with
+//   extreme caution in isolated scopes.
+// * AS_NORMAL: The accesses will be resolved to an accessor on the BarrierSet class, giving the
+//   responsibility of performing the access and what barriers to be performed to the GC. This is the default.
+//   Note that primitive accesses will only be resolved on the barrier set if the appropriate build-time
+//   decorator for enabling primitive barriers is enabled for the build.

+
+// === Reference Strength Decorators ===
+// These decorators only apply to accesses on oop-like types (oop/narrowOop).
+// * ON_STRONG_OOP_REF: Memory access is performed on a strongly reachable reference.
+// * ON_WEAK_OOP_REF: The memory access is performed on a weakly reachable reference.
+// * ON_PHANTOM_OOP_REF: The memory access is performed on a phantomly reachable reference.
+//   This is the same ring of strength as jweak and weak oops in the VM.
+// * ON_UNKNOWN_OOP_REF: The memory access is performed on a reference of unknown strength.
+//   This could for example come from the unsafe API.
+// * Default (no explicit reference strength specified): ON_STRONG_OOP_REF
+const DecoratorSet ON_STRONG_OOP_REF  = UCONST64(1) << 14;
+const DecoratorSet ON_WEAK_OOP_REF    = UCONST64(1) << 15;

+                                        ON_PHANTOM_OOP_REF | ON_UNKNOWN_OOP_REF;
+
+// === Access Location ===
+// Accesses can take place in, e.g. the heap, old or young generation and different native roots.
+// The location is important to the GC as it may imply different actions. The following decorators are used:
+// * IN_HEAP: The access is performed in the heap. Many barriers such as card marking will
+//   be omitted if this decorator is not set.
+// * IN_HEAP_ARRAY: The access is performed on a heap allocated array. This is sometimes a special case
+//   for some GCs, and implies that it is an IN_HEAP.
+// * IN_ROOT: The access is performed in an off-heap data structure pointing into the Java heap.
+// * IN_CONCURRENT_ROOT: The access is performed in an off-heap data structure pointing into the Java heap,
+//   but is notably not scanned during safepoints. This is sometimes a special case for some GCs and
+//   implies that it is also an IN_ROOT.
+const DecoratorSet IN_HEAP            = UCONST64(1) << 18;

+
+// == Value Decorators ==
+// * OOP_NOT_NULL: This property can make certain barriers faster such as compressing oops.
+const DecoratorSet OOP_NOT_NULL       = UCONST64(1) << 22;
+const DecoratorSet OOP_DECORATOR_MASK = OOP_NOT_NULL;
+
+// == Arraycopy Decorators ==
+// * ARRAYCOPY_DEST_NOT_INITIALIZED: This property can be important to e.g. SATB barriers by
+//   marking that the previous value uninitialized nonsense rather than a real value.
+// * ARRAYCOPY_CHECKCAST: This property means that the class of the objects in source
+//   are not guaranteed to be subclasses of the class of the destination array. This requires
+//   a check-cast barrier during the copying operation. If this is not set, it is assumed
+//   that the array is covariant: (the source array type is-a destination array type)
+// * ARRAYCOPY_DISJOINT: This property means that it is known that the two array ranges
+//   are disjoint.
+// * ARRAYCOPY_ARRAYOF: The copy is in the arrayof form.
+// * ARRAYCOPY_ATOMIC: The accesses have to be atomic over the size of its elements.
+// * ARRAYCOPY_ALIGNED: The accesses have to be aligned on a HeapWord.

+// This file outlines the template pipeline of accesses going through the Access
+// API. There are essentially 5 steps for each access.
+// * Step 1: Set default decorators and decay types. This step gets rid of CV qualifiers
+//           and sets default decorators to sensible values.
+// * Step 2: Reduce types. This step makes sure there is only a single T type and not
+//           multiple types. The P type of the address and T type of the value must
+//           match.
+// * Step 3: Pre-runtime dispatch. This step checks whether a runtime call can be
+//           avoided, and in that case avoids it (calling raw accesses or
+//           primitive accesses in a build that does not require primitive GC barriers)
+// * Step 4: Runtime-dispatch. This step performs a runtime dispatch to the corresponding
+//           BarrierSet::AccessBarrier accessor that attaches GC-required barriers
+//           to the access.
+// * Step 5: Post-runtime dispatch. This step now casts previously unknown types such
+//           as the address type of an oop on the heap (is it oop* or narrowOop*) to
+//           the appropriate type. It also splits sufficiently orthogonal accesses into
+//           different functions, such as whether the access involves oops or primitives
+//           and whether the access is performed on the heap or outside. Then the
+//           appropriate BarrierSet::AccessBarrier is called to perform the access.

+  // direct loads of the field from Java code we must also use Atomic::store within the
+  // locked regions. And for good measure, in case there are direct stores, we also
+  // employ Atomic::load within those regions. Note that the field in question must be
+  // volatile and so must have atomic load/store accesses applied at the Java level.
+  //
+  // The locking scheme could utilize a range of strategies for controlling the locking
+  // granularity: from a lock per-field through to a single global lock. The latter is
+  // the simplest and is used for the current implementation. Note that the Java object
+  // that contains the field, can not, in general, be used for locking. To do so can lead
+  // to deadlocks as we may introduce locking into what appears to the Java code to be a
+  // lock-free path.

-// VM_Version::supports_cx8() is a surrogate for 'supports atomic long memory ops'.
-//
-// On platforms which do not support atomic compare-and-swap of jlong (8 byte)
-// values we have to use a lock-based scheme to enforce atomicity. This has to be
-// applied to all Unsafe operations that set the value of a jlong field. Even so
-// the compareAndSetLong operation will not be atomic with respect to direct stores
-// to the field from Java code. It is important therefore that any Java code that
-// utilizes these Unsafe jlong operations does not perform direct stores. To permit
-// direct loads of the field from Java code we must also use Atomic::store within the
-// locked regions. And for good measure, in case there are direct stores, we also
-// employ Atomic::load within those regions. Note that the field in question must be
-// volatile and so must have atomic load/store accesses applied at the Java level.
-//
-// The locking scheme could utilize a range of strategies for controlling the locking
-// granularity: from a lock per-field through to a single global lock. The latter is
-// the simplest and is used for the current implementation. Note that the Java object
-// that contains the field, can not, in general, be used for locking. To do so can lead
-// to deadlocks as we may introduce locking into what appears to the Java code to be a
-// lock-free path.
-//
