Refactor G1's hot card cache and card counts table into their own files. Simplify the card counts table, including removing the encoding of the card index in each entry. The card counts table now has a 1:1 correspondence with the cards spanned by heap. Space for the card counts table is reserved from virtual memory (rather than C heap) during JVM startup and is committed/expanded when the heap is expanded. Changes were also reviewed-by Vitaly Davidovich. Reviewed-by: tschatzl, jmasa
README: This file should be located at the top of the hotspot Mercurial repository. See http://openjdk.java.net/ for more information about the OpenJDK. See ../README-builds.html for complete details on build machine requirements. Simple Build Instructions: cd make && gnumake The files that will be imported into the jdk build will be in the "build" directory.
