+// Tracker Implementation
+
+/*
+ * Create a tracker.
+ * This is a fairly complicated constructor, as it has to make two important decisions:
+ *   1) Does it need to take ThreadCritical lock to write tracking record
+ *   2) Does it need to pre-reserve a sequence number for the tracking record
+ *
+ * The rules to determine if ThreadCritical is needed:
+ *   1. When nmt is in single-threaded bootstrapping mode, no lock is needed as VM
+ *      still in single thread mode.
+ *   2. For all threads other than JavaThread, ThreadCritical is needed
+ *      to write to recorders to global recorder.
+ *   3. For JavaThreads that are no longer visible by safepoint, also
+ *      need to take ThreadCritical and records are written to global
+ *      recorders, since these threads are NOT walked by Threads.do_thread().
+ *   4. JavaThreads that are running in safepoint-safe states do not stop
+ *      for safepoints, ThreadCritical lock should be taken to write
+ *      memory records.
+ *   5. JavaThreads that are running in VM state do not need any lock and
+ *      records are written to per-thread recorders.
+ *   6. For a thread has yet to attach VM 'Thread', they need to take
+ *      ThreadCritical to write to global recorder.
+ *
+ *  The memory operations that need pre-reserve sequence numbers:
+ *    The memory operations that "release" memory blocks and the
+ *    operations can fail, need to pre-reserve sequence number. They
+ *    are realloc, uncommit and release.
+ *
+ *  The reason for pre-reserve sequence number, is to prevent race condition:
+ *    Thread 1                      Thread 2
+ *    <release>
+ *                                  <allocate>
+ *                                  <write allocate record>
+ *   <write release record>
+ *   if Thread 2 happens to obtain the memory address Thread 1 just released,
+ *   then NMT can mistakenly report the memory is free.
+ *
+ *  Noticeably, free() does not need pre-reserve sequence number, because the call
+ *  does not fail, so we can alway write "release" record before the memory is actaully
+ *  freed.
+ *
+ *  For realloc, uncommit and release, following coding pattern should be used:
+ *
+ *     MemTracker::Tracker tkr = MemTracker::get_realloc_tracker();
+ *     ptr = ::realloc(...);
+ *     if (ptr == NULL) {
+ *       tkr.record(...)
+ *     } else {
+ *       tkr.discard();
+ *     }
+ *
+ *     MemTracker::Tracker tkr = MemTracker::get_virtual_memory_uncommit_tracker();
+ *     if (uncommit(...)) {
+ *       tkr.record(...);
+ *     } else {
+ *       tkr.discard();
+ *     }
+ *
+ *     MemTracker::Tracker tkr = MemTracker::get_virtual_memory_release_tracker();
+ *     if (release(...)) {
+ *       tkr.record(...);
+ *     } else {
+ *       tkr.discard();
+ *     }
+ *
+ * Since pre-reserved sequence number is only good for the generation that it is acquired,
+ * when there is pending Tracker that reserved sequence number, NMT sync-point has
+ * to be skipped to prevent from advancing generation. This is done by inc and dec
+ * MemTracker::_pending_op_count, when MemTracker::_pending_op_count > 0, NMT sync-point is skipped.
+ * Not all pre-reservation of sequence number will increment pending op count. For JavaThreads
+ * that honor safepoints, safepoint can not occur during the memory operations, so the
+ * pre-reserved sequence number won't cross the generation boundry.
