Summary: Revamp of the mechanism that chooses old regions for inclusion in the CSet. It simplifies the code and introduces min and max bounds on the number of old regions added to the CSet at each mixed GC to avoid pathological cases. It also ensures that when we do a mixed GC we'll always find old regions to add to the CSet (i.e., it eliminates the case where a mixed GC will collect no old regions which can happen today).

Summary: If we try to schedule an initial-mark GC in order to explicit start a conc mark cycle and it gets pre-empted by antoher GC, we should retry the attempt as long as it's appropriate for the GC cause.

Summary: Remove the separate counting phase of concurrent marking by tracking the amount of marked bytes and the cards spanned by marked objects in marking task/worker thread local data structures, which are updated as individual objects are marked.

Summary: This change simplifies the interaction between GC and concurrent marking. By disabling survivor spaces during the initial-mark pause we don't need to propagate marks of objects we copy during each GC (since we never need to copy an explicitly marked object).

Summary: Parallelize the removal of self forwarding pointers etc. by wrapping in a HeapRegion closure, which is then wrapped inside an AbstractGangTask.

Summary: Introduce a flag that is set when a heap expansion attempt during a GC fails so that we do not consantly attempt to expand the heap when it's going to fail anyway. This not only prevents the excessive ergo output (which is generated when a region allocation fails) but also avoids excessive and ultimately unsuccessful expansion attempts.

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: Refactor code marking code in the evacuation pause copy closures so that an evacuated object is only marked by the thread that successfully copies it.

Summary: Major cleanup of the G1CollectorPolicy class. It removes a lot of unused fields and methods and also consolidates replicated information (mainly various ways of counting the number of CSet regions) into one copy.

Summary: In root processing, move the scanning of the reference processor's discovered lists to before RSet updating and scanning. When scanning the reference processor's discovered lists, use a buffering closure so that the time spent copying any reference object is correctly attributed. Also removed a couple of unused and irrelevant timers.

Summary: Remove two unnecessary iterations over the collection set which are supposed to prepare the RSet's of the CSet regions for parallel iterations (we'll make sure this is done incrementally). I'll piggyback on this CR the removal of the G1_REM_SET_LOGGING code.

Summary: Perform a heap verification after the first phase of G1's full GC using objects' mark words to determine liveness. The third parameter of the heap verification routines, which was used in G1 to determine which marking bitmap to use in liveness calculations, has been changed from a boolean to an enum with values defined for using the mark word, and the 'prev' and 'next' bitmaps.

7042285: G1: native memory leak during humongous object allocation
6804436: G1: heap region indices should be size_t
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.

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.
