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).

Summary: Implementation of the CAS primitive for x64 compressed oops was incorrect. It kills rscratch2 register (r11), which is allocatable in C1. Also, we don't need to restore cmpval as it's never used after that, so we need only one temporary register, which can be scratch1.

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.
