G1 now answers "no" to the query can_elide_initializing_store_barrier() in the product build. A debug flag allows alternate behaviour in debug builds.

When enqueuing a completed PtrQueue buffer, cache a local pointer to the buffer and clear the field in the PtrQueue prior to unlocking the mutex referenced by the _lock field and pass the cached local value to the enqueuing routine. This will prevent the same completed buffer being enqueued multiple times, which causes the hang.

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.

Autonomic per-worker free block cache sizing, tunable coalition policies, fixes to per-size block statistics, retuned gain and bandwidth of some feedback loop filters to allow quicker reactivity to abrupt changes in ambient demand, and other heuristics to reduce fragmentation of the CMS old gen. Also tightened some assertions, including those related to locking.
