Aren't "promoted" and "total_pretenured_since_last_promotion()" 
approximately the same
thing?  In share/vm/gc/parallel/psScavenge.cpp

489       size_t promoted = old_gen->used_in_bytes() - old_gen_used_before;
490       size_policy->update_averages(_survivor_overflow, survived, 
promoted);

so "promoted" is the change in the old gen between the before and after the
young gen collection.

"total_pretenured_size_last_promotion()" is

  258   void tenured_allocation(size_t size) {
  259     _avg_pretenured->sample(size);
  260     add_pretenured_since_last_promotion(size)


which seems to me to be calculating the same thing (sum of allocations 
into the old gen).

Not so?
