/*
 * This file contains code for several synchronization objects.
 *
 * Event. This is a lightweight notification event object that does not
 * create a kernel event object until needed. Additionally the kernel
 * event object is automatically freed when no longer needed. Note that
 * PhfResetEvent is NOT thread-safe.
 *
 * Barrier. This is a non-traditional implementation of a barrier, built
 * on the wake event object. I have identified three types of participants
 * in this process:
 * 1. The slaves, who wait for the master to release them. This is the
 *    main mechanism through which the threads are synchronized.
 * 2. The master, who is the last thread to wait on the barrier. This thread
 *    triggers the waking process, and waits until all slaves have woken.
 * 3. The observers, who are simply threads which were slaves before, were
 *    woken, and have tried to wait on the barrier again before all other
 *    slaves have woken.
 *
 * Rundown protection. This object allows a thread to wait until all other
 * threads have finished using a particular resource before freeing the
 * resource.
 *
 * Init-once. This is a lightweight one-time initialization mechanism which
 * uses the event object for any required blocking. The overhead is very
 * small - only a single inlined comparison.
