The per-worker _new_refs array is used to hold references that point into the collection set. It is populated during RSet updating and subsequently processed. In the event of an evacuation failure it processed again to recreate the RSets of regions in the collection set. Remove the per-worker _new_refs array by processing the references directly. Use a DirtyCardQueue to hold the cards containing the references so that the RSets of regions in the collection set can be recreated when handling an evacuation failure.

During concurrent refinment, filter cards in young regions after it has been determined that the region has been allocated from and the young type of the region has been set.

6871109: G1: remove the concept of the scan only prefix
Removed scan only regions and associated code. The young portion of the collection set is now constructed incrementally - when a young region is retired as the current allocation region it is added to the collection set.

The outgoing region map is not maintained properly and it's causing an assert failure. Given that we don't actually use it, I'm removing it. I'm piggy-backing a small change on this which removes a message that it's printed before a Full GC when DisableExplicitGC is set.

The expression that calculates the live bytes for a heap region can overflow for a suitably large humongous region/object. Cache the object size in a suitably sized local variable so that the expression is converted to a wider type.

Humongous regions may contain multiple objects as a result of being retained as to-space from a previous GC and then re-used as to-space after being tagged as humongous. These changes include a check that causes retained to-space regions that are now tagged as humongous to be disregarded and a new to-space region allocated.

Make sure that two marking cycles do not overlap, i.e., a new one can only start after the concurrent marking thread finishes all its work. In the fix I piggy-back a couple of minor extra fixes: some general code reformatting for consistency (only around the code I modified), the removal of a field (G1CollectorPolicy::_should_initiate_conc_mark) which doesn't seem to be used at all (it's only set but never read), as well as moving the "is GC locker active" test earlier into the G1 pause / Full GC and using a more appropriate method for it.

Calling the methods region_stack_push() and region_stack_pop() concurrent is not MT-safe. The assumption is that we will only call region_stack_push() during a GC pause and region_stack_pop() during marking. Unfortunately, we also call region_stack_push() during marking which seems to be introducing subtle marking failures. This change introduces lock-based methods for pushing / popping to be called during marking.

Newly-created threads always had the active field of their SATB queue initialized to false, even if they were created during marking. As a result, updates from threads created during a marking cycle were never enqueued and never processed. The fix includes remaining a method from active() to is_active() for readability and naming consistency.

If CM task was aborted while scanning the last object of the specified region and the size of that object is equal to bitmap's granularity then the next offset would be equal or over the region limit which is exactly what the assertion states.

A TLAB became large enough to be considered a humongous object allowing multiple objects to be allocated in a humongous region, which violates a basic assumption about humongous regions. The changes ensure that TLABs cannot be regarded as humongous.
