Hi Everyone,

A new webrev for this CR can be found at: 
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~johnc/7096030/webrev.2/ based upon some 
additional feedback.

Changes in this webrev include:
* Some minor reorganization in G1CollectorPolicy::record_collection_end().
* Removal of the _satb_drain_time_set flag.
* In addition to the SATB Drain Time and the # of processed SATB 
buffers, output of Mark Stack Scanning is now dependent on whether 
marking is active.
* Modified the TraceGen0Time output to be ordered consistently with 
PrintGCDetails.

Testing: specjvm98 and OpenDS; manually checked that the TraceGen0Time 
and TraceGen1Time output values are consistent with summarizing the 
pause data.

Thanks,

JohnC
