6908208: UseCompressedOops: array_size() returns incorrect size for MAX_INT object array following 6906727
Summary: In array_size() cast to an unsigned to avoid overflow of intermediate value.
Reviewed-by: kvn, tonyp, jmasa, jcoomes, coleenp

Summary: ensure that max and committed are non-zero (currently: at least as large as the region size).

Summary: G1 reports committed memory instead of reserved memory from the Runtime.maxMemory() method
Reviewed-by: ysr, jmasa

Summary: Introduced a new write_ref_array(HeapWords* start, size_t count) method that does the requisite MemRegion range calculation so (some of the) clients of the erstwhile write_ref_array(MemRegion mr) do not need to worry. This removed all external uses of array_size(), which was also simplified and made private. Asserts were added to catch other possible issues. Further, less essential, fixes stemming from this investigation are deferred to CR 6904516 (to follow shortly in hs17).

Summary: Fixes a race on the dirty card queue completed buffer list between worker thread(s) performing a flush of a deferred store barrier (enqueueing a newly completed buffer) and worker thread(s) in the RSet updating code claiming completed buffers. Removed the routine that removes elements from the completed update buffer queue using a CAS.

Summary: Remove the assert.

Summary: ScavengeALot now causes an incremental (but possibly partially young, in the G1 sense) collection. Some such collections may be abandoned on account of MMU specs. Band-aided a native leak associated with abandoned pauses, as well as an MMU tracker overflow related to frequent scavenge events in the face of a large MMU denominator interval; the latter is protected by a product flag that defaults to false.

Summary: Protected stats dump with a new develop flag; other than for the dump, reconciled product and non-product behaviour in face of the error.

6902000: use ShouldNotReachHere() for btos/ctos/stos in TemplateInterpreterGenerator::set_short_entry_points
Summary: set_entry_point is only ever used with the tos states of bytecode templates in templateTable.cpp and none of those use the subword tos states like btos, ctos and stos.
Reviewed-by: kvn

Summary: Added instrumentation and (temporary) assert in non-product mode; clipped the value when found out-of-bounds in product mode. Fix of original issue will follow collection of data from this instrumentation.
