  // other critical regions to be entered. The reasons for that are:
  // 1) a GC request won't be starved by overlapping JNI critical
  //    region activities, which can cause unnecessary OutOfMemory errors.
  // 2) even if allocation requests can still be satisfied before GC locker
  //    becomes inactive, for example, in tenured generation possibly with
  //    heap expansion, those allocations can trigger lots of safepointing
  //    attempts (ineffective GC attempts) and require Heap_lock which
  //    slow down allocations tremendously.
  //
  // Note that critical regions can be nested in a single thread, so
  // we must allow threads already in critical regions to continue.
  //
  // 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,
  // GC_locker::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.
