Deferred card marks are now flushed during the gc prologue. Parallel[Scavege,OldGC] and SerialGC no longer defer card marks generated by COMPILER2 as a result of ReduceInitialCardMarks. For these cases, introduced a diagnostic option to defer the card marks, only for the purposes of testing and diagnostics. CMS and G1 continue to defer card marks. Potential performance concern related to single-threaded flushing of deferred card marks in the gc prologue will be addressed in the future.

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.

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.

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.

The type in the NEW_C_HEAP_ARRRY and FREE_C_HEAP_ARRAY calls in the buffer allocation code was changed from void* to char as the size argument had already been mulitipled by the byte size of an object pointer.

The fix addresses two memory leaks in G1 code: (1) _evac_failure_scan_stack - a resource object allocated on the C heap was not freed; (2) RSHashTable were linked into deleted list which was only cleared at full GC.

6889757: G1: enable card mark elision for initializing writes from compiled code (ReduceInitialCardMarks)
Defer the (compiler-elided) card-mark upon a slow-path allocation until after the store and before the next subsequent safepoint; G1 now answers yes to can_elide_tlab_write_barriers().

When we copy objects to survivors during marking, we incorrectly set NTAMS to bottom, which causes marking to miss visiting some of those objects.

It tidies up the G1 heap verification a bit. In particular, when the verification is done in parallel and there is a failure, this is propagated to the top level and the heap is dumped at the end, not by every thread that encounters a failure.

The first worker thread is delayed when entering the GC because it clears the card count table that is used in identifying hot cards. Replace the card count table with a dynamically sized evicting hash table that includes an epoch based counter.

Have the GC worker threads clear the hot card cache in parallel by having each worker thread claim a chunk of the card cache and process the cards in that chunk. The size of the chunks that each thread will claim is determined at VM initialization from the size of the card cache and the number of worker threads.
