Summary: Fix block_size_if_printezis_bits() so it does not expect the bits, only uses them when available. Fix block_size_no_stall() so it does not stall when the bits are missing such cases, letting the caller deal with zero size returns. Constant pool cache oops do not need to be unparsable or conc_unsafe after their klass pointer is installed. Some cosmetic clean-ups and some assertion checking for conc-usafety which, in the presence of class file redefinition, has no a-priori time boundedness, so all GCs must be able to safely deal with putatively conc-unsafe objects in a stop-world pause.

Summary: The recorded _sweep_limit may not necessarily remain a block boundary as the old generation expands during a concurrent cycle. Terminal actions inside the sweep closure need to be aware of this as they cross over the limit.

7001033: assert(gch->gc_cause() == GCCause::_scavenge_alot || !gch->incremental_collection_failed())
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: 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: Concurrent collectors should expand the perm gen without a full STW GC, but possibly by triggering a concurrent collection. Temporary band-aid for G1 where no concurrent collection is kicked off since the perm gen is not collected concurrently.

6692906: CMS: parallel concurrent marking may be prone to hanging or stalling mutators for periods of time
Summary: Inserted missing yield(check)s in closures used during the work-stealing phase of parallel concurrent marking, a missing synchronous yield-request in the cms perm gen allocation path, and a terminator-terminator for the offer_termination invocation that monitors the yield status of the concurrent marking task. Elaborated some documentation comments and made some task queue termination loop flags configurable at start-up to aid debugging in the field.

Summary: GC workers now recognize an intermediate transient state of blocks which are allocated but have not yet completed initialization. blk_start() calls do not attempt to determine the size of a block in the transient state, rather waiting for the block to become initialized so that it is safe to query its size. Audited and ensured the order of initialization of object fields (klass, free bit and size) to respect block state transition protocol. Also included some new assertion checking code enabled in debug mode.
