The field G1AllocRegion::_alloc_region needs to be declared volatile as it is used with that intention. Otherwise the compiler may generate the code that reloads the value which might have changed in the meantime, leading to spurious crashes.

The initialization for the remembered set summary data structures used the wrong thread count, i.e. number of worker threads instead of number of refinement threads.

Add G1BiasedArray<T> that is an array where each element represents a fixed-sized subdivision of the heap. Use this abstraction to refactor the HeapRegionSeq class.

Use conservative assumptions of required alignment for the various garbage collector components into account when determining the maximum heap size that supports compressed oops. Using this conservative value avoids several circular dependencies in the calculation.

Replace the broken large pages implementation on Linux. New flag: -XX:+UseTransparentHugePages - Linux specific flag to turn on transparent huge page hinting with madvise(..., MAP_HUGETLB). Changed behavior: -XX:+UseLargePages - tries to use -XX:+UseTransparentHugePages before trying other large pages implementations (on Linux). Changed behavior: -XX:+UseHugeTLBFS - Use upfront allocation of Large Pages instead of using the broken implementation to dynamically committing large pages. Changed behavior: -XX:LargePageSizeInBytes - Turned off the ability to use this flag on Linux and provides warning to user if set to a value different than the OS chosen large page size. Changed behavior: Setting no large page size - Now defaults to use -XX:UseTransparentHugePages if the OS supports it. Previously, -XX:+UseHugeTLBFS was chosen if the OS was configured to use large pages.

Add a list of nmethods to the RSet for a region that contain references into the region. Skip scanning the code cache during root scanning and scan the nmethod lists during RSet scanning instead.

The assert is invalid when a card is being refined by two different threads and its count crosses the hot threshold - the refinement count will be updated once by each thread triggering the assert. Remove the assert and update the count using a bounded expression.
