//! The global data and participant for garbage collection.
//!
//! # Registration
//!
//! In order to track all participants in one place, we need some form of participant
//! registration. When a participant is created, it is registered to a global lock-free
//! singly-linked list of registries; and when a participant is leaving, it is unregistered from the
//! list.
//!
//! # Pinning
//!
//! Every participant contains an integer that tells whether the participant is pinned and if so,
//! what was the global epoch at the time it was pinned. Participants also hold a pin counter that
//! aids in periodic global epoch advancement.
//!
//! When a participant is pinned, a `Guard` is returned as a witness that the participant is pinned.
//! Guards are necessary for performing atomic operations, and for freeing/dropping locations.
//!
//! # Thread-local bag
//!
//! Objects that get unlinked from concurrent data structures must be stashed away until the global
//! epoch sufficiently advances so that they become safe for destruction. Pointers to such objects
//! are pushed into a thread-local bag, and when it becomes full, the bag is marked with the current
//! global epoch and pushed into the global queue of bags. We store objects in thread-local storages
//! for amortizing the synchronization cost of pushing the garbages to a global queue.
//!
//! # Global queue
//!
//! Whenever a bag is pushed into a queue, the objects in some bags in the queue are collected and
//! destroyed along the way. This design reduces contention on data structures. The global queue
//! cannot be explicitly accessed: the only way to interact with it is by calling functions
//! `defer()` that adds an object to the thread-local bag, or `collect()` that manually triggers
//! garbage collection.
//!
//! Ideally each instance of concurrent data structure may have its own queue that gets fully
//! destroyed as soon as the data structure gets dropped.
