6980838: G1: guarantee(false) failed: thread has an unexpected active value in its SATB queue Summary: Under certain circumstances a safepoint could happen between a JavaThread object being created and that object being added to the Java threads list. This could cause the active field of that thread's SATB queue to get out-of-sync with respect to the other Java threads. The solution is to activate the SATB queue, when necessary, before adding the thread to the Java threads list, not when the JavaThread object is created. The changeset also includes a small fix to rename the surrogate locker thread from "Surrogate Locker Thread (CMS)" to "Surrogate Locker Thread (Concurrent GC)" since it's also used in G1.

6983311: G1: LoopTest hangs when run with -XX:+ExplicitInvokesConcurrent Summary: Clear the concurrent marking "in progress" flag while the FullGCCount_lock is held. This avoids a race that can cause back to back System.gc() calls, when ExplicitGCInvokesConcurrent is enabled, to fail to initiate a marking cycle causing the requesting thread to hang.

6794422: Perm gen expansion policy for concurrent collectors Summary: Concurrent collectors should expand the perm gen without a full STW GC, but possibly by triggering a concurrent collection. Temporary band-aid for G1 where no concurrent collection is kicked off since the perm gen is not collected concurrently. Reviewed-by: johnc

6692906: CMS: parallel concurrent marking may be prone to hanging or stalling mutators for periods of time Summary: Inserted missing yield(check)s in closures used during the work-stealing phase of parallel concurrent marking, a missing synchronous yield-request in the cms perm gen allocation path, and a terminator-terminator for the offer_termination invocation that monitors the yield status of the concurrent marking task. Elaborated some documentation comments and made some task queue termination loop flags configurable at start-up to aid debugging in the field. Reviewed-by: jmasa, johnc, poonam
