6883834: ParNew: assert(!_g->to()->is_in_reserved(obj),"Scanning field twice?") with LargeObjects tests
Summary: Fixed process_chunk_boundaries(), used for parallel card scanning when using ParNew/CMS, so as to prevent double-scanning, or worse, non-scanning of imprecisely marked objects exceeding parallel chunk size. Made some sizing parameters for parallel card scanning diagnostic, disabled ParallelGCRetainPLAB, and elaborated and clarified some comments.

Summary: There is a race in the evac failure handling code that causes the condition the assert checks not to be true. The fix is to replace the too-strong assert with a more targeted one.

Summary: In G1 heap verification, we no longer scan perm to G1-collected heap refs as part of process_strong_roots() but rather in a separate explicit oop iteration over the perm gen. This preserves the original perm card-marks. Added a new assertion in younger_refs_iterate() to catch a simple subcase where the user may have forgotten a prior save_marks() call, as happened in the case of G1's attempt to iterate perm to G1 refs when verifying the heap before exit. The assert was deliberately weakened for ParNew+CMS and will be fixed for that combination in a future CR. Also made some (non-G1) cleanups related to code and comments obsoleted by the migration of Symbols to the native heap.

Summary: It introduces non-product cmd line parameter G1DummyRegionsPerGC which indicates how many "dummy" regions to allocate at the end of each GC. This allows the G1 heap to grow artificially and makes concurrent marking cycles more frequent irrespective of what the application that is running is doing. The dummy regions will be found totally empty during cleanup so this parameter can also be used to stress the concurrent cleanup operation.

Summary: A referent object that is only weakly reachable at the start of concurrent marking but is re-attached to the strongly reachable object graph during marking may not be marked as live. This can cause the reference object to be processed prematurely and leave dangling pointers to the referent object. Implement a read barrier for the java.lang.ref.Reference::referent field by intrinsifying the Reference.get() method, and intercepting accesses though JNI, reflection, and Unsafe, so that when a non-null referent object is read it is also logged in an SATB buffer.

Summary: Bulk zeroing reduction didn't work with G1, because arraycopy would call pre-barriers on uninitialized oops. The solution is to have version of arraycopy stubs that don't have pre-barriers. Also refactored arraycopy stubs generation on SPARC to be more readable and reduced the number of stubs necessary in some cases.

Summary: Fix block_size_if_printezis_bits() so it does not expect the bits, only uses them when available. Fix block_size_no_stall() so it does not stall when the bits are missing such cases, letting the caller deal with zero size returns. Constant pool cache oops do not need to be unparsable or conc_unsafe after their klass pointer is installed. Some cosmetic clean-ups and some assertion checking for conc-usafety which, in the presence of class file redefinition, has no a-priori time boundedness, so all GCs must be able to safely deal with putatively conc-unsafe objects in a stop-world pause.

Summary: Changed G1CollectedHeap::expand() to expand the committed space by calling VirtualSpace::expand_by() once rather than for every region in the expansion amount. This allows the success or failure of the expansion to be determined before creating any heap regions. Introduced a develop flag G1ExitOnExpansionFailure (false by default) that, when true, will exit the VM if the expansion of the committed space fails. Finally G1CollectedHeap::expand() returns a status back to it's caller so that the caller knows whether to attempt the allocation.
