// The following class hierarchy represents
// a set of operations (VM_Operation) related to GC.
//
//  VM_Operation
//      VM_GC_Operation
//          VM_GC_HeapInspection
//          VM_GenCollectForAllocation
//          VM_GenCollectFull
//          VM_GenCollectFullConcurrent
//          VM_ParallelGCFailedAllocation
//          VM_ParallelGCFailedPermanentAllocation
//          VM_ParallelGCSystemGC
//  VM_GC_Operation
//   - implements methods common to all classes in the hierarchy:
//     prevents multiple gc requests and manages lock on heap;
//
//  VM_GC_HeapInspection
//   - prints class histogram on SIGBREAK if PrintClassHistogram
//     is specified; and also the attach "inspectheap" operation
//
//  VM_GenCollectForAllocation
//  VM_GenCollectForPermanentAllocation
//  VM_ParallelGCFailedAllocation
//  VM_ParallelGCFailedPermanentAllocation
//   - this operation is invoked when allocation is failed;
//     operation performs garbage collection and tries to
//     allocate afterwards;
//
//  VM_GenCollectFull
//  VM_GenCollectFullConcurrent
//  VM_ParallelGCSystemGC
//   - these operations preform full collection of heaps of
//     different kind
//
