Request for Review (s) - 8060463: ParNew: SurvivorAlignmentInBytes greater then YoungPLABSize cause assert(obj != NULL || plab->words_remaining() < word_sz) failed: Else should have been able to allocate

Hi Jon,

Looks good to me.

I have some minor comments.
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jmasa/8060463/webrev.00/src/share/vm/gc/cms/parNewGeneration.cpp.frames.html
  261                SIZE_FORMAT " PLab size " SIZE_FORMAT " 
SurvivorAlignmentInBytes "
1. Instead of 'PLab', how about 'PLAB' or 'plab'?

2. How about adding comma or bracket at the modified log messages for 
values for better readability?

3. If you care about the copyright year, please update the newly added 
test's one.

Thanks,
Sangheon
