6975964: G1: print out a more descriptive message for evacuation failure when +PrintGCDetails is set Summary: we're renaming "evacuation failure" to "to-space overflow". I'm also piggy-backing a small additional change which removes the "Mark closure took..." output. Reviewed-by: ysr, johnc

6959014: G1: assert(minimum_desired_capacity <= maximum_desired_capacity) failed: sanity check Summary: There are a few issues in the code that calculates whether to resize the heap and by how much: a) some calculations can overflow 32-bit size_t's, b) min_desired_capacity is not bounded by the max heap size, and c) the assrt that fires is in the wrong place. The fix also includes some tidying up of the related verbose code. Reviewed-by: ysr, jmasa

6948538: CMS: BOT walkers can fall into object allocation and initialization cracks Summary: GC workers now recognize an intermediate transient state of blocks which are allocated but have not yet completed initialization. blk_start() calls do not attempt to determine the size of a block in the transient state, rather waiting for the block to become initialized so that it is safe to query its size. Audited and ensured the order of initialization of object fields (klass, free bit and size) to respect block state transition protocol. Also included some new assertion checking code enabled in debug mode. Reviewed-by: chrisphi, johnc, poonam
