/* STATIC OBJECT LIST.
 *
 * During GC:
 * We maintain a linked list of static objects that are still live.
 * The requirements for this list are:
 *
 *  - we need to scan the list while adding to it, in order to
 *    scavenge all the static objects (in the same way that
 *    breadth-first scavenging works for dynamic objects).
 *
 *  - we need to be able to tell whether an object is already on
 *    the list, to break loops.
 *
 * Each static object has a "static link field", which we use for
 * linking objects on to the list.  We use a stack-type list, consing
 * objects on the front as they are added (this means that the
 * scavenge phase is depth-first, not breadth-first, but that
 * shouldn't matter).
 *
 * A separate list is kept for objects that have been scavenged
 * already - this is so that we can zero all the marks afterwards.
 *
 * An object is on the list if its static link field is non-zero; this
 * means that we have to mark the end of the list with '1', not NULL.
 *
 * Extra notes for generational GC:
 *
 * Each generation has a static object list associated with it.  When
 * collecting generations up to N, we treat the static object lists
 * from generations > N as roots.
 *
 * We build up a static object list while collecting generations 0..N,
 * which is then appended to the static object list of generation N+1.
 *
 * See also: Note [STATIC_LINK fields] in Storage.h.

   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is a global variable that originally tracked the number of threads
participating in the current gc. It's meaning has diverged from this somewhat,
as it does not distinguish betweeen idle and non-idle threads. An idle thread
is a thread i where `idle[i]` is true, using the idle array passed to
GarbageCollect.

In practice, it now takes one of the values {1, n_capabilities}, when a SYNC_GC_SEQ
is requested it takes 1, when a SYNC_GC_PAR is requested it takes n_capabilities.

Clearly this is in need of some tidying up, but for now we tread carefully. We
call is_par_gc() to see whether we are in a parallel or sequential collection.
Of course this is valid only inside GarbageCollect ().

Omitting this check has led to issues such as #19147.

 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 * During parallel garbage collections, idle gc threads will steal work from
 * other threads. If they see no work to steal then they will wait on a
 * condition variabl(gc_running_cv).
 *
 * There are two synchronisation primitivees:
 *  - gc_running_mutex
 *  - gc_running_cv
 *
 *  Two mutable variables
 *  - gc_running_threads
 *  - work_stealing
 *
 *  Two immutable variables
 *  - n_gc_threads
 *  - n_gc_idle_threads
 *
 *  gc_running_threads is modified only through the functions inc_running and
 *  dec_running are called when a gc thread starts(wakeup_gc_threads), runs out
 *  of work(scavenge_until_all_done), or finds more
 *  work(scavenge_until_all_done).
 *
 *  We care about the value of gc_running_threads in two places.
 *   (a) in dec_running, if gc_running_threads reaches 0 then we broadcast
 *     gc_running_cv so that all gc_threads can exis scavenge_until_all_done.
 *   (b) in notifyTodoBlock, if there are any threads not running, then we
 *     signal gc_running_cv so a thread can try stealing some work.
 *
 *  Note that:
 *    (c) inc_running does not hold gc_running_mutex while incrementing
 *      gc_running_threads.
 *    (d) notifyTodoBlock does not hold gc_running_mutex while inspecting
 *      gc_running_mutex.
 *    (d) The gc leader calls shutdown_gc_threads before it begins the final
 *      sequential collections (i.e. traverseWeakPtrList)
 *    (e) A gc worker thread can never observe gc_running_threads increasing
 *      from 0. gc_running_threads will increase from 0, but this is after (d),
 *      where gc worker threads are all finished.
 *    (f) The check in (b) tolerates wrong values of gc_running_threads. See the
 *      function for details.
 *
 * work_stealing is "mostly immutable". We set it to false when we begin the
 * final sequential collections, for the benefit of notifyTodoBlock.

 * allocated blocks to the OS in case we are still allocating a lot and would
 * end up just reallocating them. The result of this was that up to 4 * live_bytes
 * of blocks would be retained once they were allocated even if memory usage ended up
 * a lot lower.
 *
 * For a heap of size ~1.5G, this would result in OS memory reporting 6G which is
 * both misleading and worrying for users.
 * In long-lived server applications this results in consistent high memory
 * usage when the live data size is much more reasonable (for example ghcide)
 *
 * Therefore we have a new (2021) strategy which starts by retaining up to 4 * live_bytes
 * of blocks before gradually returning uneeded memory back to the OS on subsequent
 * major GCs which are NOT caused by a heap overflow.
 *
 * Each major GC which is NOT caused by heap overflow increases the consec_idle_gcs
 * counter and the amount of memory which is retained is inversely proportional to this number.
 * By default the excess memory retained is
 *  oldGenFactor (controlled by -F) / 2 ^ (consec_idle_gcs * returnDecayFactor)
 *
 * On a major GC caused by a heap overflow, the `consec_idle_gcs` variable is reset to 0
 * (as we could continue to allocate more, so retaining all the memory might make sense).
 *
 * Therefore setting bigger values for `-Fd` makes the rate at which memory is returned slower.
 * Smaller values make it get returned faster. Setting `-Fd0` means no additional memory
 * is retained.
 *
 * The default is `-Fd4` which results in the following scaling:
 *
 * > mapM print [(x, 1/ (2**(x / 4))) | x <- [1 :: Double ..20]]
 * (1.0,0.8408964152537146)
 * ...
 * (4.0,0.5)
 * ...
 * (12.0,0.125)
 * ...
 * (20.0,3.125e-2)
 *
 * So after 12 consecutive GCs only 0.1 of the maximum memory used will be retained.
 *
 * Further to this decay factor, the amount of memory we attempt to retain is
 * also influenced by the GC strategy for the oldest generation. If we are using
 * a copying strategy then we will need at least 2 * live_bytes for copying to take
 * place, so we always keep that much. If using compacting or nonmoving then we need a lower number,
 * so we just retain at least `1.2 * live_bytes` for some protection.
