Hi all,
allow me to provide a fix for the oldest g1-specific open issue on
the bug tracker (from 2006 :)): resize the heap (eg. uncommit)
according to existing sizing policies at remark time.
It does exactly what the subject of the CR says.
The feature is enabled by default - I did not see any reason to disable
it as the functionality seems to actually be what would be expected of
the concurrent cycle (as it mirrors the functionality of a full gc).
Needs the change for JDK-8071913 currently out for review applied to
work (i.e. not crash after uncommit).
The current work for "JDK-8204089: Timely Reducing Unused Committed
Memory" also depends on this change.
CR:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-6490394
Webrev:

Testing:
hs-tier1-5, jdk-tier1-3, perf testing ongoing but not expecting a
difference
Thanks,
Thomas
