Rename G1DefaultMinNewGenPercent, G1DefaultMaxNewGenPercent, and G1OldCSetRegionLiveThresholdPercent to G1NewSizePercent, G1MaxNewSizePercent, and G1MixedGCLiveThresholdPercent respectively. The previous names are no longer accepted.

Add the flags G1EvacuationFailureALot flag (and supporting flags) to force trigger evacuation failures. The support flags control how often to trigger an evacuation failure and during which types of evacuation pause. This functionality is analogous to that of PromotionFailureALot for the other collectors.

Cleanup of the CSet chooser class: standardize on uints for region num and indexes (instead of int, jint, etc.), make the method / field naming style more consistent, remove a lot of dead code.

Added log levels "fine", "finer" and "finest". Let PrintGC map to "fine" and PrintGCDetails map to "finer". Separated out the per worker information in the G1 logging to the "finest" level.

Make two G1 cmd line flags available in product builds: G1HeapWastePercent (previously called: G1OldReclaimableThresholdPercent) and G1MixedGCCountTarget (previous called: G1MaxMixedGCNum). Also changed the default of the former from 1% to 5% and the default for G1OldCSetRegionLiveThresholdPercent to 90%.

Revamp of the mechanism that chooses old regions for inclusion in the CSet. It simplifies the code and introduces min and max bounds on the number of old regions added to the CSet at each mixed GC to avoid pathological cases. It also ensures that when we do a mixed GC we'll always find old regions to add to the CSet (i.e., it eliminates the case where a mixed GC will collect no old regions which can happen today).

Major cleanup of the G1CollectorPolicy class. It removes a lot of unused fields and methods and also consolidates replicated information (mainly various ways of counting the number of CSet regions) into one copy.

Fixed inconsistencies and mistakes in the young list target length calculations so that a) the calculated target length is optimal (before, it was not), b) other parameters like max survivor size and max gc locker eden expansion are always consistent with the calculated target length (before, they were not always), and c) the resulting target length was always bound by desired min and max values (before, it was not).

We were calling STS join and leave during a STW pause and we are not suppoesed to. I now only call those during concurrent phase. I also added stress code in the non-product builds to force an overflows (the condition that ws uncovering the bug) to make sure it does not happen again.

It introduces non-product cmd line parameter G1DummyRegionsPerGC which indicates how many "dummy" regions to allocate at the end of each GC. This allows the G1 heap to grow artificially and makes concurrent marking cycles more frequent irrespective of what the application that is running is doing. The dummy regions will be found totally empty during cleanup so this parameter can also be used to stress the concurrent cleanup operation.

A referent object that is only weakly reachable at the start of concurrent marking but is re-attached to the strongly reachable object graph during marking may not be marked as live. This can cause the reference object to be processed prematurely and leave dangling pointers to the referent object. Implement a read barrier for the java.lang.ref.Reference::referent field by intrinsifying the Reference.get() method, and intercepting accesses though JNI, reflection, and Unsafe, so that when a non-null referent object is read it is also logged in an SATB buffer.

7007446: G1: expand the heap with a single step, not one region at a time
Changed G1CollectedHeap::expand() to expand the committed space by calling VirtualSpace::expand_by() once rather than for every region in the expansion amount. This allows the success or failure of the expansion to be determined before creating any heap regions. Introduced a develop flag G1ExitOnExpansionFailure (false by default) that, when true, will exit the VM if the expansion of the committed space fails. Finally G1CollectedHeap::expand() returns a status back to it's caller so that the caller knows whether to attempt the allocation.

This changeset removes the zero-filling thread from G1 and collapses the two free region lists we had before (the "free" and "unclean" lists) into one. The new free list uses the new heap region sets / lists abstractions that we'll ultimately use it to keep track of all regions in the heap. A heap region set was also introduced for the humongous regions. Finally, this change increases the concurrency between the thread that completes freeing regions (after a cleanup pause) and the rest of the system (before we'd have to wait for said thread to complete before allocating a new region). The changest also includes a lot of refactoring and code simplification.

This changeset introduces filtering of SATB buffers at the point when they are about to be enqueued. If this filtering clears enough entries on each buffer, the buffer can then be re-used and not enqueued. This cuts down the number of SATB buffers that need to be processed by the concurrent marking threads.

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.
