Summary: This change simplifies the interaction between GC and concurrent marking. By disabling survivor spaces during the initial-mark pause we don't need to propagate marks of objects we copy during each GC (since we never need to copy an explicitly marked object).

Summary: Introduce a flag that is set when a heap expansion attempt during a GC fails so that we do not consantly attempt to expand the heap when it's going to fail anyway. This not only prevents the excessive ergo output (which is generated when a region allocation fails) but also avoids excessive and ultimately unsuccessful expansion attempts.

Summary: Replaces calls to os::javaTimeMillis(), which does not (and cannot) guarantee monotonicity, in GC code to an equivalent expression that uses os::javaTimeNanos(). os::javaTimeNanos is guaranteed monotonically non-decreasing if the underlying platform provides a monotonic time source. Changes in OS files are to make use of the newly defined constants in globalDefinitions.hpp.

Summary: Running G1 with ParallelGCThreads==0 results in various crashes and asserts. Most of these are caused by unguarded references to the worker threads array or an incorrect number of active workers.

Summary: Renamed partially-young GCs as mixed and fully-young GCs as young. Change all external output that includes those terms (GC log and GC ergo log) as well as any comments, fields, methods, etc. The changeset also includes very minor code tidying up (added some curly brackets).

7114095: G1: assert(obj == oopDesc::load_decode_heap_oop(p)) failed: p should still be pointing to obj
Summary: As a result of  the changes for 4965777, the G1 reference field scanning closure could be applied to the discovered field of a reference object twice. The failing assert is too strong if the result of the first application of the closure is stolen, and the referenced object, evacuated by another worker thread.

7102445: G1: Unnecessary Resource allocations during RSet scanning
Summary: Add a new per-worker thread line in the PrintGCDetails output. GC Worker Other is the difference between the elapsed time for the parallel phase of the evacuation pause and the sum of the times of the sub-phases (external root scanning, mark stack scanning, RSet updating, RSet scanning, object copying, and termination) for that worker. During RSet scanning, stack allocate DirtyCardToOopClosure objects; allocating these in a resource area was causing abnormally high GC Worker Other times while the worker thread freed ResourceArea chunks.
