There is currently no good way of retiring TLABs and collecting their
statistics in parallel. The current code for doing this also traverses
the thread list twice, which is unnecessary. I propose that we adjust
the TLAB API to allow this to be done in parallel, in a single pass.
A few notes on this patch:
* The GlobalTLABStats class is restructured into the
ThreadLocalAllocStats class to allow for a more flexible way of
collected statistics when retiring TLABs (flexible in the sense that it
allows for parallel operations).
* The TLAB API is slightly adjusted. The "make_parsable(bool
retire_tlab)" is broken into two functions, "make_parsable()" to just
make a TLAB parsable, and "retire(ThreadLocalAllocStats* stats)" to
retire and optionally collects statistics.
* GCs are unaffected by this change, in the sense that they continue to
call CollectedHeap::ensure_parsability(). However, all GCs will benefit
from now doing a single pass over the thread list instead of two to
retire and collect stats.
* This is the last patch in my series of TLAB related patches. The
remaining patches only touch ZGC to actually retire/resize/remap TLABs
in parallel.
