Summary: Enable reference discovery during concurrent marking by setting the reference processor field of the concurrent marking closure. Keep reference objects on the discovered reference lists alive during incremental evacuation pauses until they are processed at the end of concurrent marking.

Summary: This change revamps the slow allocation path of G1. Improvements include the following: a) Allocations directly to old regions are now totally banned. G1 now only allows allocations out of young regions (with the only exception being humongous regions). b) The thread that allocates a new region (which is now guaranteed to be young) does not dirty all its cards. Each thread that successfully allocates out of a young region is now responsible for dirtying the cards that corresponding to the "block" that just got allocated. c) allocate_new_tlab() and mem_allocate() are now implemented differently and TLAB allocations are only done by allocate_new_tlab(). d) If a thread schedules an evacuation pause in order to satisfy an allocation request, it will perform the allocation at the end of the safepoint so that the thread that initiated the GC also gets "first pick" of any space made available by the GC. e) If a thread is unable to allocate a humongous object it will schedule an evacuation pause in case it reclaims enough regions so that the humongous allocation can be satisfied aftewards. f) The G1 policy is more careful to set the young list target length to be the survivor number +1. g) Lots of code tidy up, removal, refactoring to make future changes easier.

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).

Summary: Since we are at a stop-world pause, the existing CMS-phase checks are sufficient for safety, and the locking check can be safely elided. Elaborated documentation comment to the case where class unloading and verification are disabled, and the query happens when we aren't in the sweeping phase, where the answer "false" would be (almost everywhere) too pessimistic.

Summary: Closed a timing hole during which concurrent full gc requests can be missed. The hole can increase the latency of the response to a full gc request by up to the value of CMSWaitDuration. If CMSWaitDuration=0 is, as currently, interpreted as an unbounded wait, suitable in certain tuning scenarios, the application can potentially hang. Made two obscure tunables, including CMSWaitDuration, manageable.

Summary: There is a race between the concurrent refinement threads and the humongous object allocation that can cause the concurrent refinement threads to corrupt the part of the BOT that it is being initialized by the humongous object allocation operation. The solution is to do the humongous object allocation in careful steps to ensure that the concurrent refinement threads always have a consistent view over the BOT, region contents, and top. The fix includes some very minor tidying up in sparsePRT.

6988458: G1: assert(mr.end() <= _cm->finger()) failed: otherwise the region shouldn't be on the stack
Summary: The changes from 6941395 did not clear the CMTask::_aborted_region fields when concurrent marking aborted because of overflow. As a result, the next time around we could see a memory region whose start address was above the global finger and the assertion tripped. Moved the clearing of the aborted regions to ConcurrentMark::clear_marking_state, which is executed on all of the exit paths.
