RFR (M): JDK-8076314: Remove the static instance variable SharedHeap:: _sh

Hi Bengt,

the bad news is that your change breaks the build without precompiled
headers (i.e. '--disable-precompiled-headers' but please notice that
there are platforms which don't support precompiled headers at all).
You'll get:

/OpenJDK/jdk9-hs-gc/hotspot/src/share/vm/memory/cardTableModRefBS.cpp:
In member function ‘void
CardTableModRefBS::non_clean_card_iterate_possibly_parallel(Space*,
MemRegion, OopsInGenClosure*, CardTableRS*)’:
/OpenJDK/jdk9-hs-gc/hotspot/src/share/vm/memory/cardTableModRefBS.cpp:462:
error: incomplete type ‘GenCollectedHeap’ used in nested name
specifier
/OpenJDK/jdk9-hs-gc/hotspot/src/share/vm/memory/cardTableModRefBS.cpp:466:
error: incomplete type ‘GenCollectedHeap’ used in nested name
specifier
/OpenJDK/jdk9-hs-gc/hotspot/src/share/vm/memory/cardTableModRefBS.cpp:466:
error: incomplete type ‘GenCollectedHeap’


But the (kind of) good new is that on of the follow-up changes in
hs-gc (probably "8075955: Replace the macro based implementation of
oop_oop_iterate with a template based solution" which is huge)
unintentionally fixed it again. Nevertheless I'd suggest to fix this
"the right way" by including "memory/genCollectedHeap.hpp" instead of
"memory/sharedHeap.hpp" into cardTableModRefBS.cpp:

diff -r b88bb4de100e src/share/vm/memory/cardTableModRefBS.cpp
--- a/src/share/vm/memory/cardTableModRefBS.cpp Thu Apr 02 09:14:16 2015 +0200
+++ b/src/share/vm/memory/cardTableModRefBS.cpp Thu Apr 02 17:29:28 2015 +0200
@@ -26,7 +26,7 @@
 #include "memory/allocation.inline.hpp"
 #include "memory/cardTableModRefBS.inline.hpp"
 #include "memory/cardTableRS.hpp"
-#include "memory/sharedHeap.hpp"
+#include "memory/genCollectedHeap.hpp"
 #include "memory/space.hpp"
 #include "memory/space.inline.hpp"
 #include "memory/universe.hpp"

Moreover we REALLY need a non-precompiled-header build in JPRT as this
is the second such case in the last two weeks. I'll write a special
mail about this topic to hotspot-dev soon.

Thank you and best regards,
Volker
