RFR(XS): 8004170: G1: Verbose GC output is not getting flushed to log file using JDK 8

[John Cuthbertson]

Hi Kirk,

I thought CMS only used PrintGC and PrintGCDetails - I can't find 
CMSLogLevel mentioned in the source.

If you're referring to the JEP that was recently published - then I 
think the intent is to normalize them.

Cheers,

JohnC

The fix is to add a flush call to G1CollectedHeap::log_gc_footer(). I also noticed that TraceCPUTime destructor does not flush the specified log file and, since it only seems to be instantiated from GC code, it probably should.
