replace-object functions are very close to being thread-safe: the only current racy section is the lazy initialization at prepare_replace_object(). The following patches will protect some object reading operations to be called threaded, but before that, replace functions must be protected. To do so, add a mutex to struct raw_object_store and acquire it before lazy initializing the replace_map. This won't cause any noticeable performance drop as the mutex will no longer be used after the replace_map is initialized. Later, when the replace functions are called in parallel, thread debuggers might point our use of the added replace_map_initialized flag as a data race. However, as this boolean variable is initialized as false and it's only updated once, there's no real harm. It's perfectly fine if the value is updated right after a thread read it in replace-map.h:lookup_replace_object() (there'll only be a performance penalty for the affected threads at that...
