Hi,
Please review this fix for:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8173764
Webrev:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~sjohanss/8173764/hotspot.00/
Summary:
The changed assert, asserted that there was an object at the start of
the heap. What we want to assert is that no object span over region
boundaries. That basically means that there is an object at the start of
every region, with one exception, continues humongous regions. They need
special handling since they don't contain an object at the start of the
region.
Testing:
* JPRT
* RBT tier2 + tier3
Thanks,
Stefan
