Summary: G1 now uses two reference processors - one is used by concurrent marking and the other is used by STW GCs (both full and incremental evacuation pauses). In an evacuation pause, the reference processor is embedded into the closures used to scan objects. Doing so causes causes reference objects to be 'discovered' by the reference processor. At the end of the evacuation pause, these discovered reference objects are processed - preserving (and copying) referent objects (and their reachable graphs) as appropriate.

Summary: As a result of the changes for 7080389, an evacuation failure during an initial mark pause may result in some root objects not being marked. Pass whether the caller is a root scanning closure into the evacuation failure handling code so that the thread that successfully forwards an object to itself also marks the object.

Summary: When refactoring the code for a previous fix, a condition was not correctly negated which prevents the G1 policy from adding the correct number of old regions to the CSet when the young gen size is fixed. The changeset also fixes a small syntactical issue in g1ErgoVerbose.hpp which is causing compiler warnings.

Summary: Fixed inconsistencies and mistakes in the young list target length calculations so that a) the calculated target length is optimal (before, it was not), b) other parameters like max survivor size and max gc locker eden expansion are always consistent with the calculated target length (before, they were not always), and c) the resulting target length was always bound by desired min and max values (before, it was not).

Summary: It introduces ergonomic decision logging in G1 for the following heuristics: heap sizing, collection set construction, concurrent cycle initiation, and partially-young GC start/end. The code has a bit of refactoring in a few places to make the decision logging possible. It also replaces alternative ad-hoc logging that we have under different parameters and switches (G1_DEBUG, G1PolicyVerbose).

Summary: A series of fixes and improvements to the HeapRegionSeq class: a) replace the _regions growable array with a standard C array, b) avoid de-allocating / re-allocating HeapRegion instances when the heap shrinks / grows (fix for 7042285), c) introduce fast method to map address to HeapRegion via a "biased" array pointer, d) embed the _hrs object in G1CollectedHeap, instead of pointing to it via an indirection, e) assume that all the regions added to the HeapRegionSeq instance are contiguous, f) replace int's with size_t's for indexes (and expand that to HeapRegion as part of 6804436), g) remove unnecessary / unused methods, h) rename a couple of fields (_alloc_search_start and _seq_bottom), i) fix iterate_from() not to always start from index 0 irrespective of the region passed to it, j) add a verification method to check the HeapRegionSeq assumptions, k) always call the wrappers for _hrs.iterate(), _hrs_length(), and _hrs.at() from G1CollectedHeap, not those methods directly, and l) unify the code that expands the sequence (by either re-using or creating a new HeapRegion) and make it robust wrt to a HeapRegion allocation failing.
