Summary: The recorded _sweep_limit may not necessarily remain a block boundary as the old generation expands during a concurrent cycle. Terminal actions inside the sweep closure need to be aware of this as they cross over the limit.

7000559: G1: assertion failure !outer || (full_collections_started == _full_collections_completed + 1)
Summary: The concurrent marking thread can complete its operation and increment the full GC counter during a Full GC. This causes the nesting of increments to the start and end of Full GCs that we are expecting to be wrong. the fix is for the marking thread to join the suspendible thread set before incrementing the counter so that it's blocked until the Full GC (or any other safepoint) is finished. The change also includes some minor code cleanup (I renamed a parameter).

7002546: regression on SpecJbb2005 on 7b118 comparing to 7b117 on small heaps
Summary: Relaxed assertion checking related to incremental_collection_failed flag to allow for ExplicitGCInvokesConcurrent behaviour where we do not want a failing scavenge to bail to a stop-world collection. Parameterized incremental_collection_will_fail() so we can selectively use, or not use, as appropriate, the statistical prediction at specific use sites. This essentially reverts the scavenge bail-out logic to what it was prior to some recent changes that had inadvertently started using the statistical prediction which can be noisy in the presence of bursty loads. Added some associated verbose non-product debugging messages.

Summary: The Solaris Studio 12 update 1 C++ compiler was incorrectly re-ordering the reads of an object's mark word in oopDesc::forward_to_atomic(). This opened a small window where one thread could execute the successful CAS path even though another thread had already successfully forwarded the object. This could result in an object being copied twice. The code in oopDesc::forward_to_atomic() was changed to read the mark word once.

Summary: An evacuation failure while copying the roots caused an object, A, to be forwarded to itself. During the subsequent RSet updating a reference to A was processed causing the reference to be added to the RSet of A's heap region. As a result of adding to the remembered set we ran into the issue described in 6930581 - the sparse table expanded and the RSet scanning code walked the cards in one instance of RHashTable (_cur) while the occupied() counts the cards in the expanded table (_next).
