6774607: SIGSEGV or (!is_null(v),"oop value can never be zero") assertion when running with CMS and COOPs
Summary: Use the more permissive set_klass_or_null() and klass_or_null() interfaces in ParNew's workqueue overflow code that manipulates the klass-word.

Summary: For current soft-ref clearing policies, we can decide at marking time if a soft-reference will definitely not be cleared, postponing the decision of whether it will definitely be cleared to the final reference processing phase. This can be especially beneficial in the case of concurrent collectors where the marking is usually concurrent but reference processing is usually not.

Summary: When we encounter marking stack overflow during precleaning of Reference lists, we were using the overflow list mechanism, which can cause problems on account of mutating the mark word of the header because of conflicts with mutator accesses and updates of that field. Instead we should use the usual mechanism for overflow handling in concurrent phases, namely dirtying of the card on which the overflowed object lies. Since precleaning effectively does a form of discovered list processing, albeit with discovery enabled, we needed to adjust some code to be correct in the face of interleaved processing and discovery.

6660573: G1: BigApps Failure : guarantee(satb_mq_set.completed_buffers_num() == 0,"invariant")
Summary: When exiting a mutator thread is removed from the thread list before it has a chance to flush its SATB and barrier queues. If GC happens at this moment the objects that are refererred from these queues can be moved, which will case a crash. The fix is simply to flush the buffers before removing a thread from the list.
