RFR (L): 8015774: Add support for multiple code heaps

[Tobias Hartmann]

Hi,

please review the new version of the following patch that adds support 
for multiple code heaps to the code cache.

Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8015774
Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~anoll/8015774/webrev.04/ 
<http://cr.openjdk.java.net/%7Eanoll/8015774/webrev.03/>

*Short description:*
This change implements support for multiple code heaps in the code 
cache. The interface of the code cache was changed accordingly and 
references from other components of the VM were adapted. This includes 
the indirect references from:
- the Serviceability Agent: vmStructs and the Java code cache interface 
(sun.jvm.hotspot.code.CodeCache)
- the dtrace ustack helper script (jhelper.d)
- the pstack support library libjvm_db.c

Currently the code cache contains the following three code heaps each of 
which contains CodeBlobs of a specific type:
- Non-Profiled methods: nmethods that are not profiled and native methods
- Profiled methods: nmethods that are profiled
- Non-methods: Non-methods like buffers and adapters

By default the non-method code heap uses 3 MB plus additional space for 
the compiler buffers that is dependent on the number of compiler threads 
(see CodeCache::initialize_heaps). The remaining code cache space is 
distributed equally among the non-profiled and the profiled code heaps.
*
**Tested:*
JPRT, SPECjvm2008, SPECjbb2005, SPECjbb2013, Octane + Nashorn

Thanks,
Tobias

That is fine. As we realized the last two weeks, there is more work to 
be done to make multiple code heaps work effectively.
