I disagree with the description here (though I didn't read the patches yet)-

they can liven things they reference, which should occur
in scavenge_pinned_ranges().  There is no general case of transitive
pinning (unlike on some other GCs). A special case exists involving thread
startup where objects pointed to by a new thread (not yet in all_threads)
get pinned because the creating thread does not reference them and the new
thread is not scanned.
