Summary: Weakened assert in onj_is_alive() to allow its use at initialization time when is_at_safepoint() normally reports false; added some related asserts to check order of is_init_completed() after Universe::is_fully_initialized().

6996613: CompactibleFreeListSpace::print should call CompactibleFreeListSpace::print_on, not Space::print_on
Reviewed-by: tonyp

Summary: Since we are at a stop-world pause, the existing CMS-phase checks are sufficient for safety, and the locking check can be safely elided. Elaborated documentation comment to the case where class unloading and verification are disabled, and the query happens when we aren't in the sweeping phase, where the answer "false" would be (almost everywhere) too pessimistic.

Summary: Deprecated HandlePromotionFailure, removing the ability to turn off that feature, did away with one epoch look-ahead when deciding if a scavenge is likely to fail, relying on current data.

Summary: Closed a timing hole during which concurrent full gc requests can be missed. The hole can increase the latency of the response to a full gc request by up to the value of CMSWaitDuration. If CMSWaitDuration=0 is, as currently, interpreted as an unbounded wait, suitable in certain tuning scenarios, the application can potentially hang. Made two obscure tunables, including CMSWaitDuration, manageable.

Summary: Concurrent collectors should expand the perm gen without a full STW GC, but possibly by triggering a concurrent collection. Temporary band-aid for G1 where no concurrent collection is kicked off since the perm gen is not collected concurrently.

6692906: CMS: parallel concurrent marking may be prone to hanging or stalling mutators for periods of time
Summary: Inserted missing yield(check)s in closures used during the work-stealing phase of parallel concurrent marking, a missing synchronous yield-request in the cms perm gen allocation path, and a terminator-terminator for the offer_termination invocation that monitors the yield status of the concurrent marking task. Elaborated some documentation comments and made some task queue termination loop flags configurable at start-up to aid debugging in the field.

Summary: Allow for the possibility (when the heap is expanding) that the sweep might skip over and past, rather than necessarily step on, the sweep limit determined at the beginning of a concurrent marking cycle.

Summary: GC workers now recognize an intermediate transient state of blocks which are allocated but have not yet completed initialization. blk_start() calls do not attempt to determine the size of a block in the transient state, rather waiting for the block to become initialized so that it is safe to query its size. Audited and ensured the order of initialization of object fields (klass, free bit and size) to respect block state transition protocol. Also included some new assertion checking code enabled in debug mode.
