> **Description:**
>
> Previously the check combined loadavg() failure and threshold comparison in a single condition. When os::loadavg() returned -1, `recent_load` contained an undefined value but was still logged as if it was a real load average, leading to misleading log output.
>
> **Fix:**
>
> This change separates the failure case from the combined check:
> - If os::loadavg() returns -1, log "System loadavg not supported" and skip.
> - Only compare `recent_load` to the threshold when loadavg() succeeds.
>
> **Test:**

Guanqiang Han has updated the pull request incrementally with one additional commit since the last revision:
Update g1PeriodicGCTask.cpp
The periodic gc would be started the first time after detecting that loadavg is not supported.
