> * Resets all statistics to 0.
> *
> * In order to reset, we add up all the thread-local statistics data, and
> * set rootData to the negative of that.
> *
> * This may seem like a counterintuitive way to reset the statsitics. Why
> * can't we just zero out all the thread-local data? Well, thread-local
> * data can only be modified by the thread that owns it. If we tried to
> * modify the thread-local data from this thread, our modification might get
> * interleaved with a read-modify-write operation done by the thread that
> * owns the data. That would result in our update getting lost.
> *
> * The approach used here avoids this problem because it only ever reads
> * (not writes) the thread-local data. Both reads and writes to rootData
> * are done under the lock, so we're free to modify rootData from any thread
> * that holds the lock.
