 312  * Overrides are inputs to the task/thread policy engine that
 313  * temporarily elevate the effective QoS of a thread without changing
 314  * its steady-state (and round-trip-able) requested QoS. The
 315  * interfaces into the kernel allow the caller to associate a resource
 316  * and type that describe the reason/lifecycle of the override. For
 317  * instance, a contended pthread_mutex_t held by a UTILITY thread
 318  * might get an override to USER_INTERACTIVE, with the resource
 319  * being the userspace address of the pthread_mutex_t. When the
 320  * owning thread releases that resource, it can call into the
 321  * task policy subsystem to drop the override because of that resource,
 322  * although if more contended locks are held by the thread, the
 323  * effective QoS may remain overridden for longer.
 324  *
 325  * THREAD_QOS_OVERRIDE_TYPE_PTHREAD_MUTEX is used for contended
 326  * pthread_mutex_t's via the pthread kext. The holder gets an override
 327  * with resource=&mutex and a count of 1 by the initial contender.
 328  * Subsequent contenders raise the QoS value, until the holder
 329  * decrements the count to 0 and the override is released.
 330  *
 331  * THREAD_QOS_OVERRIDE_TYPE_PTHREAD_RWLOCK is unimplemented and has no
 332  * specified semantics.
 333  *
 334  * THREAD_QOS_OVERRIDE_TYPE_PTHREAD_EXPLICIT_OVERRIDE are explicitly
 335  * paired start/end overrides on a target thread. The resource can
 336  * either be a memory allocation in userspace, or the pthread_t of the
 337  * overrider if no allocation was used.
 338  *
 339  * THREAD_QOS_OVERRIDE_TYPE_DISPATCH_ASYNCHRONOUS_OVERRIDE are used to
 340  * override the QoS of a thread currently draining a serial dispatch
 341  * queue, so that it can get to a block of higher QoS than its
 342  * predecessors. The override is applied by a thread enqueueing work
 343  * with resource=&queue, and reset by the thread that was overriden
 344  * once it has drained the queue. Since the ++ and reset are
 345  * asynchronous, there is the possibility of a ++ after the target
 346  * thread has issued a reset, in which case the workqueue thread may
 347  * issue a reset-all in its outermost scope before deciding whether it
 348  * should return to dequeueing work from the global concurrent queues,
 349  * or return to the kernel.
 350  *
 351  * THREAD_QOS_OVERRIDE_TYPE_WILDCARD is a catch-all which will reset every
 352  * resource matching the resource value.  Passing
 353  * THREAD_QOS_OVERRIDE_RESOURCE_WILDCARD as well will reset everything.
