// Lifecycle management for TSM ParkEvents.
// ParkEvents are type-stable (TSM).
// In our particular implementation they happen to be immortal.
//
// We manage concurrency on the FreeList with a CAS-based
// detach-modify-reattach idiom that avoids the ABA problems
// that would otherwise be present in a simple CAS-based
// push-pop implementation.   (push-one and pop-all)
//
// Caveat: Allocate() and Release() may be called from threads
// other than the thread associated with the Event!
// If we need to call Allocate() when running as the thread in
// question then look for the PD calls to initialize native TLS.
// Native TLS (Win32/Linux/Solaris) can only be initialized or
// accessed by the associated thread.
// See also pd_initialize().
//
// Note that we could defer associating a ParkEvent with a thread
// until the 1st time the thread calls park().  unpark() calls to
// an unprovisioned thread would be ignored.  The first park() call
// for a thread would allocate and associate a ParkEvent and return
// immediately.
