8139424: SIGSEGV, Problematic frame: # V [libjvm.so+0xd0c0cc] void InstanceKlass::oop_oop_iterate_oop_maps_specialized<true,oopDesc*,MarkAndPushClosure>
Summary: The crash was caused by a faulty eager humongous reclaim. The reason for reclaiming a live object was that the call to cleanupHRRS was done after dirtying cards and clearing the remembered sets for the humongous object. This could lead to one or many cards being missed.

Summary: Push the remembered sets of large objects with few referenced into the dirty card queue at the beginning of the evacuation so that they may end up with zero remembered set entries at the end of the collection, and are potentially reclaimed. Also improve timing measurements of the early reclaim mechanism, and shorten flag names.

8052172: Evacuation failure handling in G1 does not evacuate all objects if -XX:-G1DeferredRSUpdate is set
Summary: Remove -XX:-G1DeferredRSUpdate functionality as it is racy. During evacuation failure handling, threads where evacuation failure handling occurred may try to add remembered sets to regions which remembered sets are currently being scanned. The iterator to handle the remembered set scan does not support addition of entries during scan and so may skip valid references.
