Summary: Adjust assertion checking for ExplicitGCInvokesConcurrentAndUnloadsClasses as a reason for class unloading
Reviewed-by: ysr

Summary: Deferred card marks are now flushed during the gc prologue. Parallel[Scavege,OldGC] and SerialGC no longer defer card marks generated by COMPILER2 as a result of ReduceInitialCardMarks. For these cases, introduced a diagnostic option to defer the card marks, only for the purposes of testing and diagnostics. CMS and G1 continue to defer card marks. Potential performance concern related to single-threaded flushing of deferred card marks in the gc prologue will be addressed in the future.

Summary: Autonomic per-worker free block cache sizing, tunable coalition policies, fixes to per-size block statistics, retuned gain and bandwidth of some feedback loop filters to allow quicker reactivity to abrupt changes in ambient demand, and other heuristics to reduce fragmentation of the CMS old gen. Also tightened some assertions, including those related to locking.

Summary: Introduced a new write_ref_array(HeapWords* start, size_t count) method that does the requisite MemRegion range calculation so (some of the) clients of the erstwhile write_ref_array(MemRegion mr) do not need to worry. This removed all external uses of array_size(), which was also simplified and made private. Asserts were added to catch other possible issues. Further, less essential, fixes stemming from this investigation are deferred to CR 6904516 (to follow shortly in hs17).

Summary: ScavengeALot now causes an incremental (but possibly partially young, in the G1 sense) collection. Some such collections may be abandoned on account of MMU specs. Band-aided a native leak associated with abandoned pauses, as well as an MMU tracker overflow related to frequent scavenge events in the face of a large MMU denominator interval; the latter is protected by a product flag that defaults to false.
