// The per heap and global fields are separated into the following categories -
//
// Used in GC and needs to be maintained, ie, next GC can be using this field so it needs to have the right value.
// Note that for some fields this doesn't mean the value of the field itself will change (it could remain the same
// throughout the process lifetime (for example, finalize_queue) but you'll need to pay attention to its content
// and make sure it's updated correctly through each GC.
//
// Some fields are marked as "loosely maintained" in their comments - this means they are really only modified during
// a single GC *except* they can be resized during a GC so the reinit-ed value will carry over to later GCs.
// PER_HEAP_FIELD_MAINTAINED
//
// Like PER_HEAP_FIELD_MAINTAINED and also used in the allocator code paths
// PER_HEAP_FIELD_MAINTAINED_ALLOC
//
// Used only during a single GC so we could fill it with an arbitrary value and shouldn't break anything.
// Note that for BGC fields, this means it's initialized at the beginning of that BGC. Ephemeral GCs can happen during
// this single BGC but they do not actually modify these fields.
// PER_HEAP_FIELD_SINGLE_GC
//
// Like PER_HEAP_FIELD_SINGLE_GC and also used in the allocator code paths
// PER_HEAP_FIELD_SINGLE_GC_ALLOC
//
// Only used by the allocator code paths
// PER_HEAP_FIELD_ALLOC
//
// Initialized during the GC init and never changes
// PER_HEAP_FIELD_INIT_ONLY
//
// Used for diagnostics purpose only
// PER_HEAP_FIELD_DIAG_ONLY
//
// Corresponding annotation for global fields
// PER_HEAP_ISOLATED_FIELD_MAINTAINED
// PER_HEAP_ISOLATED_FIELD_MAINTAINED_ALLOC
// PER_HEAP_ISOLATED_FIELD_SINGLE_GC
// PER_HEAP_ISOLATED_FIELD_SINGLE_GC_ALLOC
// PER_HEAP_ISOLATED_FIELD_INIT_ONLY
//
// If a field does not fit any of the above category, such as fgn_maxgen_percent which is only updated by an API,
// it will be marked as PER_HEAP_FIELD/PER_HEAP_ISOLATED_FIELD.
//
// A few notes -
//
// + within the section of a particular category of fields I use the following policy to list them -
//   I group the ones that are for the same purpose together, ie, without empty lines inbetween them.
//   I list the common ones first, ie, they apply regardless of defines. Then I list the defines in the order of
//       #ifdef MULTIPLE_HEAPS
//       #ifdef BACKGROUND_GC
//       #ifdef USE_REGIONS
//       other defines checks
//
// + some of the fields are used by both regions and segments share. When that's the case, the annotation
// is based on regions. So for segments they may or may not apply (segments code is in maintainence mode only).
//
// + some fields are used by the GC and WB but not by the allocator, in which case I will indicate them as such.

 Latency modes required user to have specific GC knowledge (eg, budget, full blocking GC).
 We are trying to move away from them as it makes a lot more sense for users to tell
 us what's the most important out of the perf aspects that make sense to them.

 In general there are 3 such aspects:

 + memory footprint
 + throughput
 + pause predictibility

 Currently the following levels are supported. We may (and will likely) add more
 in the future.

 |          |                    | frequent. the longest pauses are      |

    // a percentage of the physical memory this process is allowed to use via
    // GCHeapHardLimitPercent. This is the maximum commit size the GC heap
    // can consume.
    //
    // The way the hard limit is decided is:
    //
    // If the GCHeapHardLimit config is specified that's the value we use;
    // else if the GCHeapHardLimitPercent config is specified we use that
    // value;
    // else if the process is running inside a container with a memory limit,
    // the hard limit is
    // max (20mb, 75% of the memory limit on the container).
    //
    // Due to the different perf charicteristics of containers we make the
    // following policy changes:
    //
    // 1) No longer affinitize Server GC threads by default because we wouldn't
    // want all the containers on the machine to only affinitize to use the
    // first few CPUs (and we don't know which CPUs are already used). You
    // can however override this by specifying the GCHeapAffinitizeMask
    // config which will decide which CPUs the process will affinitize the
    // Server GC threads to.
    //
    // 2) Segment size is determined by limit / number of heaps but has a
    // minimum value of 16mb. This can be changed by specifying the number
    // of heaps via the GCHeapCount config. The minimum size is to avoid
    // the scenario where the hard limit is small but the process can use
    // many procs and we end up with tiny segments which doesn't make sense.
    //
    // 3) LOH compaction occurs automatically if needed.
    //
    // Since we do allow both gen0 and gen3 allocations, and we don't know
    // the distinction (and it's unrealistic to request users to specify
    // this distribution) we reserve memory this way -
    //
    // For SOH we reserve (limit / number of heaps) per heap.
    // For LOH we reserve (limit * 2 / number of heaps) per heap.
    //
    // This means the following -
    //
    // + we never need to acquire new segments. This simplies the perf
    // calculations by a lot.
    //
    // + we now need a different definition of "end of seg" because we
    // need to make sure the total does not exceed the limit.
    //
    // + if we detect that we exceed the commit limit in the allocator we
    // wouldn't want to treat that as a normal commit failure because that
    // would mean we always do full compacting GCs.
