RFR (S): 8165859: gcTaskThread is missing volatile qualifier and barriers for _time_stamps

Mon Sep 19 18:26:23 UTC 2016

Dear Erik,

According to orderAccess.hpp an acquire is supposed to be paired with a
release. It doesn't look like there is any synchronization on the data
written to the time stamp array, so what exactly is going on?
