// Simple append-only thread-safe hash map for tracing.
// Provides a mapping between variable-length data and a
// unique ID. Subsequent puts of the same data will return
// the same ID. The zero value is ready to use.
//
// Uses a region-based allocation scheme internally, and
// reset clears the whole map.
//
// It avoids doing any high-level Go operations so it's safe
// to use even in sensitive contexts.

// traceMapNode is an implementation of a lock-free append-only hash-trie
// (a trie of the hash bits).
//
// Key features:
//   - 4-ary trie. Child nodes are indexed by the upper 2 (remaining) bits of the hash.
//     For example, top level uses bits [63:62], next level uses [61:60] and so on.
//   - New nodes are placed at the first empty level encountered.
//   - When the first child is added to a node, the existing value is not moved into a child.
//     This means that you must check the key at each level, not just at the leaf.
//   - No deletion or rebalancing.
//   - Intentionally devolves into a linked list on hash collisions (the hash bits will all
//     get shifted out during iteration, and new nodes will just be appended to the 0th child).
