Summary: Fixed the output of G1SummarizeRSetStats: too small datatype for the number of concurrently processed cards, added concurrent remembered set thread time retrieval for Linux and Windows (BSD uses os::elapsedTime() now), and other cleanup. The information presented during VM operation is now relative to the previous output, not always cumulative if G1SummarizeRSetStatsPeriod > 0. At VM exit, the code prints a cumulative summary.

Summary: Refactor G1's hot card cache and card counts table into their own files. Simplify the card counts table, including removing the encoding of the card index in each entry. The card counts table now has a 1:1 correspondence with the cards spanned by heap. Space for the card counts table is reserved from virtual memory (rather than C heap) during JVM startup and is committed/expanded when the heap is expanded. Changes were also reviewed-by Vitaly Davidovich.

7102445: G1: Unnecessary Resource allocations during RSet scanning
Summary: Add a new per-worker thread line in the PrintGCDetails output. GC Worker Other is the difference between the elapsed time for the parallel phase of the evacuation pause and the sum of the times of the sub-phases (external root scanning, mark stack scanning, RSet updating, RSet scanning, object copying, and termination) for that worker. During RSet scanning, stack allocate DirtyCardToOopClosure objects; allocating these in a resource area was causing abnormally high GC Worker Other times while the worker thread freed ResourceArea chunks.

Summary: G1 now uses two reference processors - one is used by concurrent marking and the other is used by STW GCs (both full and incremental evacuation pauses). In an evacuation pause, the reference processor is embedded into the closures used to scan objects. Doing so causes causes reference objects to be 'discovered' by the reference processor. At the end of the evacuation pause, these discovered reference objects are processed - preserving (and copying) referent objects (and their reachable graphs) as appropriate.

7007446: G1: expand the heap with a single step, not one region at a time
Summary: Changed G1CollectedHeap::expand() to expand the committed space by calling VirtualSpace::expand_by() once rather than for every region in the expansion amount. This allows the success or failure of the expansion to be determined before creating any heap regions. Introduced a develop flag G1ExitOnExpansionFailure (false by default) that, when true, will exit the VM if the expansion of the committed space fails. Finally G1CollectedHeap::expand() returns a status back to it's caller so that the caller knows whether to attempt the allocation.

Summary: An evacuation failure while copying the roots caused an object, A, to be forwarded to itself. During the subsequent RSet updating a reference to A was processed causing the reference to be added to the RSet of A's heap region. As a result of adding to the remembered set we ran into the issue described in 6930581 - the sparse table expanded and the RSet scanning code walked the cards in one instance of RHashTable (_cur) while the occupied() counts the cards in the expanded table (_next).

6930581: G1: assert(ParallelGCThreads > 1 || n_yielded() == _hrrs->occupied(),"Should have yielded all the ..
Summary: During RSet updating, when ParallelGCThreads is zero, references that point into the collection set are added directly the referenced region's RSet. This can cause the sparse table in the RSet to expand. RSet scanning and the "occupied" routine will then operate on different instances of the sparse table causing the assert to trip. This may also cause some cards added post expansion to be missed during RSet scanning. When ParallelGCThreads is non-zero such references are recorded on the "references to be scanned" queue and the card containing the reference is recorded in a dirty card queue for use in the event of an evacuation failure. Employ the parallel code in the serial case to avoid expanding the RSets of regions in the collection set.

Summary: The per-worker _new_refs array is used to hold references that point into the collection set. It is populated during RSet updating and subsequently processed. In the event of an evacuation failure it processed again to recreate the RSets of regions in the collection set. Remove the per-worker _new_refs array by processing the references directly. Use a DirtyCardQueue to hold the cards containing the references so that the RSets of regions in the collection set can be recreated when handling an evacuation failure.
