7048782: CMS: assert(last_chunk_index_to_check<= last_chunk_index) failed: parCardTableModRefBS.cpp:359
Summary: The LNC array is sized before the start of a scavenge, while the heap may expand during a scavenge. With CMS, the last block of an arbitrary suffice of the LNC array may expand due to coalition with the expansion delta. We now take care not to attempt access past the end of the LNC array. LNC array code will be cleaned up and suitably encapsulated as part of the forthcoming performance RFE 7043675.

6883834: ParNew: assert(!_g->to()->is_in_reserved(obj),"Scanning field twice?") with LargeObjects tests
Summary: Fixed process_chunk_boundaries(), used for parallel card scanning when using ParNew/CMS, so as to prevent double-scanning, or worse, non-scanning of imprecisely marked objects exceeding parallel chunk size. Made some sizing parameters for parallel card scanning diagnostic, disabled ParallelGCRetainPLAB, and elaborated and clarified some comments.

Summary: Use _max_num_q = max(discovery_degree, processing_degree), and let balance_queues() redistribute from discovery_degree to processing_degree of queues. This should also allow a more dynamic and flexible parallelism policy in the future.
