RFR 8146991: Introduce per-worker preserved mark stacks in ParallelGC

[Tony Printezis]

Hi Thomas,

Cool, thanks. So, what else should we do on this front? Do you want me to also refactor G1 to use the new abstractions? Or are you guys happy with the way G1 is right now (last time I looked at the code I thought there was some opportunity for re-use). Also, there’s an additional change to cut down on the number of preserved marks that are pushed on he stacks (given that, as we discussed on a separate e-mail thread, when biased locking is enabled most objects do not have 0x1 as their mark word). Interested in both?

Tony

looks good to me. JPRT has been fine, although I messed up running  
the other tests - I forgot to specify ParallelGC as collector to use.  

I will redo that on Monday. I do not expect any issues.  

Thanks,
