/**
 * Provides safe handling of out-of-memory situations during evacuation.
 *
 * When a Java thread encounters out-of-memory while evacuating an object in a
 * load-reference-barrier (i.e. it cannot copy the object to to-space), it does not
 * necessarily follow we can return immediately from the LRB (and store to from-space).
 *
 * In very basic case, on such failure we may wait until the the evacuation is over,
 * and then resolve the forwarded copy, and to the store there. This is possible
 * because other threads might still have space in their GCLABs, and successfully
 * evacuate the object.
 *
 * But, there is a race due to non-atomic evac_in_progress transition. Consider
 * thread A is stuck waiting for the evacuation to be over -- it cannot leave with
 * from-space copy yet. Control thread drops evacuation_in_progress preparing for
 * next STW phase that has to recover from OOME. Thread B misses that update, and
 * successfully evacuates the object, does the write to to-copy. But, before
 * Thread B is able to install the fwdptr, thread A discovers evac_in_progress is
 * down, exits from here, reads the fwdptr, discovers old from-copy, and stores there.
 * Thread B then wakes up and installs to-copy. This breaks to-space invariant, and
 * silently corrupts the heap: we accepted two writes to separate copies of the object.
 *
 * The way it is solved here is to maintain a counter of threads inside the
 * 'evacuation path'. The 'evacuation path' is the part of evacuation that does the actual
 * allocation, copying and CASing of the copy object, and is protected by this
 * OOM-during-evac-handler. The handler allows multiple threads to enter and exit
 * evacuation path, but on OOME it requires all threads that experienced OOME to wait
 * for current threads to leave, and blocks other threads from entering.
 *
 * Detailed state change:
 *
 * Upon entry of the evac-path, entering thread will attempt to increase the counter,
 * using a CAS. Depending on the result of the CAS:
 * - success: carry on with evac
 * - failure:
 *   - if offending value is a valid counter, then try again
 *   - if offending value is OOM-during-evac special value: loop until
 *     counter drops to 0, then exit with resolving the ptr
 *
 * Upon exit, exiting thread will decrease the counter using atomic dec.
 *
 * Upon OOM-during-evac, any thread will attempt to CAS OOM-during-evac
 * special value into the counter. Depending on result:
 *   - success: busy-loop until counter drops to zero, then exit with resolve
 *   - failure:
 *     - offender is valid counter update: try again
 *     - offender is OOM-during-evac: busy loop until counter drops to
 *       zero, then exit with resolve
