Summary: The epochs on the card cache array are initialized to 0 and our initial epoch also starts at 0. So, until the first GC, it might be possible to successfully "claim" a card which was in fact never initialized.

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: Manage allocation/freeing of the card cache counts and epochs arrays directly so that an allocation failure while attempting to expand these arrays does not abort the JVM. Failure to expand these arrays is not fatal.

7029036: Card-table verification hangs with all framework collectors, except G1, even before the first GC
Summary: When verifying clean card ranges, use memory-range-bounded iteration over oops of objects overlapping that range, thus avoiding the otherwise quadratic worst-case cost of scanning large object arrays.

7000125: CMS: Anti-monotone young gen sizing with respect to maximum whole heap size specification
7027529: CMS: retire CMSUseOldDefaults flag
Summary: Simplify CMS heap sizing code, relying on ergonomic initial sizing consistent with other collectors for the most part, controlling only young gen sizing to rein in pause times. Make CMS young gen sizing default statically cpu-dependant. Remove inconsistencies wrt generation sizing and policy code, allowing for the fixing for 6627787 and 7000125. For 7027529, retire the flag CMSUseOldDefaults which had been introduced as a bridge from JDK 5 to JDK 6 a number of years ago.
