// Low Memory Detection Support
// Two memory alarms in the JDK (we called them sensors).
//   - Heap memory sensor
//   - Non-heap memory sensor
// When the VM detects if the memory usage of a memory pool has reached
// or exceeded its threshold, it will trigger the sensor for the type
// of the memory pool (heap or nonheap or both).
//
// If threshold == -1, no low memory detection is supported and
// the threshold value is not allowed to be changed.
// If threshold == 0, no low memory detection is performed for
// that memory pool.  The threshold can be set to any non-negative
// value.
//
// The default threshold of the Hotspot memory pools are:
//   Eden space        -1
//   Survivor space 1  -1
//   Survivor space 2  -1
//   Old generation    0
//   Perm generation   0
//   CodeCache         0
//
// For heap memory, detection will be performed when GC finishes
// and also in the slow path allocation.
// For Code cache, detection will be performed in the allocation
// and deallocation.
//
// May need to deal with hysteresis effect.
