> This RFE was filed a while ago to see if we could get rid of `muxAcquire/release` to reduce overall code complexity. Initially some usages seemed to suffer some slight performance loss when I tried this. However, since then all but one usage have been removed and the final case, the `gInflationLock`'s in `ObjectSynchronizer read_stable_mark` does not suffer any performance degradation. It can also use `PlatformMutex` rather than `PlatformMonitor`.
> 
> On the plus side we remove a large chunk of complex synchronization code, we delete a `ParkEvent` per thread, and an int field per `ParkEvent` - which is good for footprint.
> 
> Testing:
> - GH actions
> - mach5 tiers 1-3
> - selected performance testing (guided by that used for JDK-8253064)
> 
> Thanks,
> David
