Summary: Add the flags G1EvacuationFailureALot flag (and supporting flags) to force trigger evacuation failures. The support flags control how often to trigger an evacuation failure and during which types of evacuation pause. This functionality is analogous to that of PromotionFailureALot for the other collectors.

Summary: Refactor the allocation code during GC to use the G1AllocRegion abstraction. Use separate subclasses of G1AllocRegion for survivor and old regions. Avoid BOT updates and dirty survivor cards incrementally for the former.

7042285: G1: native memory leak during humongous object allocation
6804436: G1: heap region indices should be size_t
Summary: A series of fixes and improvements to the HeapRegionSeq class: a) replace the _regions growable array with a standard C array, b) avoid de-allocating / re-allocating HeapRegion instances when the heap shrinks / grows (fix for 7042285), c) introduce fast method to map address to HeapRegion via a "biased" array pointer, d) embed the _hrs object in G1CollectedHeap, instead of pointing to it via an indirection, e) assume that all the regions added to the HeapRegionSeq instance are contiguous, f) replace int's with size_t's for indexes (and expand that to HeapRegion as part of 6804436), g) remove unnecessary / unused methods, h) rename a couple of fields (_alloc_search_start and _seq_bottom), i) fix iterate_from() not to always start from index 0 irrespective of the region passed to it, j) add a verification method to check the HeapRegionSeq assumptions, k) always call the wrappers for _hrs.iterate(), _hrs_length(), and _hrs.at() from G1CollectedHeap, not those methods directly, and l) unify the code that expands the sequence (by either re-using or creating a new HeapRegion) and make it robust wrt to a HeapRegion allocation failing.

7023151: G1: refactor the code that operates on _cur_alloc_region to be re-used for allocs by the GC threads
7018286: G1: humongous allocation attempts should take the GC locker into account
Summary: First, this change replaces the asymmetric locking scheme in the G1 slow alloc path by a summetric one. Second, it factors out the code that operates on _cur_alloc_region so that it can be re-used for allocations by the GC threads in the future.

Summary: This changeset removes the zero-filling thread from G1 and collapses the two free region lists we had before (the "free" and "unclean" lists) into one. The new free list uses the new heap region sets / lists abstractions that we'll ultimately use it to keep track of all regions in the heap. A heap region set was also introduced for the humongous regions. Finally, this change increases the concurrency between the thread that completes freeing regions (after a cleanup pause) and the rest of the system (before we'd have to wait for said thread to complete before allocating a new region). The changest also includes a lot of refactoring and code simplification.

Summary: This changeset introduces filtering of SATB buffers at the point when they are about to be enqueued. If this filtering clears enough entries on each buffer, the buffer can then be re-used and not enqueued. This cuts down the number of SATB buffers that need to be processed by the concurrent marking threads.

Summary: First attempt to allocate out the current alloc region using a CAS instead of taking the Heap_lock (first level of G1's slow allocation path). Only if that fails and it's necessary to replace the current alloc region take the Heap_lock (that's the second level of G1's slow allocation path).

Summary: This change revamps the slow allocation path of G1. Improvements include the following: a) Allocations directly to old regions are now totally banned. G1 now only allows allocations out of young regions (with the only exception being humongous regions). b) The thread that allocates a new region (which is now guaranteed to be young) does not dirty all its cards. Each thread that successfully allocates out of a young region is now responsible for dirtying the cards that corresponding to the "block" that just got allocated. c) allocate_new_tlab() and mem_allocate() are now implemented differently and TLAB allocations are only done by allocate_new_tlab(). d) If a thread schedules an evacuation pause in order to satisfy an allocation request, it will perform the allocation at the end of the safepoint so that the thread that initiated the GC also gets "first pick" of any space made available by the GC. e) If a thread is unable to allocate a humongous object it will schedule an evacuation pause in case it reclaims enough regions so that the humongous allocation can be satisfied aftewards. f) The G1 policy is more careful to set the young list target length to be the survivor number +1. g) Lots of code tidy up, removal, refactoring to make future changes easier.
