Summary: Deferred card marks are now flushed during the gc prologue. Parallel[Scavege,OldGC] and SerialGC no longer defer card marks generated by COMPILER2 as a result of ReduceInitialCardMarks. For these cases, introduced a diagnostic option to defer the card marks, only for the purposes of testing and diagnostics. CMS and G1 continue to defer card marks. Potential performance concern related to single-threaded flushing of deferred card marks in the gc prologue will be addressed in the future.

Summary: Call newly created CollectedHeap::dump_{pre,post}_full_gc before and after every stop-world full collection cycle on GenCollectedHeap and ParallelScavengeHeap. (Support for G1CollectedHeap forthcoming under CR 6810861.) Small modifications to existing heap dumping and class histogram implementation, especially to allow multiple on-the-fly histos/dumps by the VM thread during a single safepoint.

Summary: Renamed Reference{Policy,Pocessor} methods from snap{,_policy}() to setup{,_policy}()
Reviewed-by: apetrusenko

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.
