// GCLocker provides synchronization between the garbage collector (GC) and
// threads using JNI critical APIs. When threads enter a critical region (CR),
// certain GC implementations may suspend garbage collection until all such
// threads have exited.
//
// Threads that need to trigger a GC should use the `block()` and `unblock()`
// APIs. `block()` will block the caller and prevent new threads from entering
// the CR.
//
// Threads entering or exiting a CR must call the `enter` and `exit` APIs to
// ensure proper synchronization with the GC.
