Summary: If we try to schedule an initial-mark GC in order to explicit start a conc mark cycle and it gets pre-empted by antoher GC, we should retry the attempt as long as it's appropriate for the GC cause.

Summary: Some minor profile based optimizations. Reduce the number of branches and branch mispredicts by removing some virtual calls, through closure specalization, and refactoring some conditional statements.

Summary: Re-enable survivors during the initial-mark pause. Afterwards, the concurrent marking threads have to scan them and mark everything reachable from them. The next GC will have to wait for the survivors to be scanned.

Summary: Remove the separate counting phase of concurrent marking by tracking the amount of marked bytes and the cards spanned by marked objects in marking task/worker thread local data structures, which are updated as individual objects are marked.

Summary: There is a high number of mispredicted branches associated with calling BitMap::iteratate() from within CMBitMapRO::iterate(). Implement a version of CMBitMapRO::iterate() directly using inline-able routines.

Summary: This change simplifies the interaction between GC and concurrent marking. By disabling survivor spaces during the initial-mark pause we don't need to propagate marks of objects we copy during each GC (since we never need to copy an explicitly marked object).

Summary: Introduce a flag that is set when a heap expansion attempt during a GC fails so that we do not consantly attempt to expand the heap when it's going to fail anyway. This not only prevents the excessive ergo output (which is generated when a region allocation fails) but also avoids excessive and ultimately unsuccessful expansion attempts.

Summary: Replaces calls to os::javaTimeMillis(), which does not (and cannot) guarantee monotonicity, in GC code to an equivalent expression that uses os::javaTimeNanos(). os::javaTimeNanos is guaranteed monotonically non-decreasing if the underlying platform provides a monotonic time source. Changes in OS files are to make use of the newly defined constants in globalDefinitions.hpp.
