MethodImplOptions.InternalCall means "implemented in libmono*.so", so you need to look in mono/mono.

The easiest way is usually a recursive grep, which would find:

	https://github.com/mono/mono/blob/master/mono/metadata/gc.c#L527
	https://github.com/mono/mono/blob/master/mono/metadata/gc.c#L550

The C# method is hooked up to the above C method via 

	https://github.com/mono/mono/blob/master/mono/metadata/icall-def.h#L667
	https://github.com/mono/mono/blob/master/mono/metadata/icall.c
