ABSTRACT:
All references to an object subset to which an atomic operation is to be applied are deliberately transformed so that an attempt by an application thread to dereference such a transformed reference will raise a faulting address trap. When the faulting address trap is raised, the faulting thread will enter a trap handler, which suspends the faulting thread. The atomic operation can then be applied and the faulting thread restarted.
