Hi Dan,

Thanks for looking into this, some comments on v8:

I don't see the benefit of having the -HandshakeAfterDeflateIdleMonitors code paths.
Removing that option would mean these files can be reverted:

And one less option here:

##################
src/hotspot/share/prims/jvm.cpp

Unclear if this is a good idea.

##################
src/hotspot/share/prims/whitebox.cpp

This would assume the test expects the right thing, but that is not obvious.

##################
src/hotspot/share/prims/jvmtiEnvBase.cpp

The current pending and waiting monitor is only changed by the JavaThread itself.
It only sets it after _contentions is increased.
It clears it before _contentions is decreased.
We are depending on safepoint or the thread is suspended, so it can't be 
deflated since _contentions are > 0.
Plus the thread have already increased the ref count and can't decrease it 
(since at safepoint or suspended).

##################
src/hotspot/share/runtime/objectMonitor.cpp

###1
You have several these (and in other files):
242   jint l_ref_count = ref_count();
243   ADIM_guarantee(l_ref_count > 0, "must be positive: l_ref_count=%d, 
ref_count=%d", l_ref_count, ref_count());
Please use Atomic::load() in ref_count.
Since this is dependent on ref_count being volatile, otherwise the compiler may 
only do one load.

###2
307   // Prevent deflation. See ObjectSynchronizer::deflate_monitor(),
...
311   Atomic::add(1, &_contentions);
In ObjectSynchronizer::deflate_monitor if you would check ref count instead of 
_contetion, we could remove contention.
Since all waiters also have a ref count it looks like we don't need waiters either.
In ObjectSynchronizer::deflate_monitor:
if (mid->_contentions != 0 || mid->_waiters != 0) {
Why not just do:
if (mid->ref_count()) {
?

##################
src/hotspot/share/runtime/objectMonitor.hpp

###1
  252   intptr_t is_busy() const {
  253     // TODO-FIXME: assert _owner == null implies _recursions = 0
  254     // We do not include _ref_count in the is_busy() check because
  255     // _ref_count is for indicating that the ObjectMonitor* is in
  256     // use which is orthogonal to whether the ObjectMonitor itself
  257     // is in use for a locking operation.

But in the non-debug code we always check:
+  if (mid->is_busy() || mid->ref_count() != 0) {

So it seem like you should have a method including ref count.

##################
src/hotspot/share/runtime/objectMonitor.inline.hpp

Use Atomic::load for ref count.

##################
src/hotspot/share/runtime/synchronizer.cpp

###1
  139 static volatile int g_om_free_count = 0;    // # on g_free_list
  140 static volatile int g_om_in_use_count = 0;  // # on g_om_in_use_list
  141 static volatile int g_om_population = 0;    // # Extant -- in circulation
  142 static volatile int g_om_wait_count = 0;    // # on g_wait_list
No padding here, aren't they more contended than the fields in the OM?

###2
151 static bool is_next_marked(ObjectMonitor* om) {

Is only used in ObjectSynchronizer::om_flush.
Here you fetch a OM and read the next field, this do not need LA semantics on 
supported platforms.
This would only need Atomic::load.

###3
191 static void set_next(ObjectMonitor* om, ObjectMonitor* value) {

In no place you need SR, in the only places it would made a difference:
  345       OrderAccess::storestore();
  346       set_next(cur, next);  // Unmark the previous list head.
and
1714     OrderAccess::storestore();
1715     set_next(in_use_list, next);

You have a storestore already!

This code reads as:
OrderAccess::storestore();
OrderAccess::loadstore();
OrderAccess::storestore();
om->_next_om = value

So it should be an Atomic::store.

###4
198 static bool mark_list_head(ObjectMonitor* volatile * list_p

Since the mark is an embedded spinlock I think the terminology should be 
changed. (that the spinlock is inside a the next pointer should be abstracted away)
E.g. mark_next_loop would just be lock.
The load of the list heads should use Atmoic:load.
It also seem a bit wired to return next for the locking method.
And output parameter can just be returned, and return NULL if list head is NULL.
E.g.

  198 static ObjectMonitor* get_list_head_locked(ObjectMonitor* volatile * list_p) {
  200   while (true) {
  201     ObjectMonitor* mid = Atomic::load(list_p);
  202     if (mid == NULL) {
  203       return NULL;  // The list is empty.
  204     }
  205     if (try_lock(mid)) {
  206       if (Atmoic::load(list_p) != mid) {
  207         // The list head changed so we have to retry.
  208         unlock(mid);
  210       } else {
              return mid;
	   }
  214     }
          // Yield ?
  215   }
  216 }

With colleteral changes.

###5
220 static ObjectMonitor* unmarked_next(ObjectMonitor* om)
Atomic::store is what needed.

###6
333 static void prepend_to_common(

  345       OrderAccess::storestore();
  346       set_next(cur, next);  // Unmark the previous list head.
Double storestore. (fixed by changing set_next to Atomic::store)

###7
  375 static ObjectMonitor* take_from_start_of_common(ObjectMonitor* volatile * 
list_p,

Triple storestore here.

  386   Atomic::dec(count_p);
  387   // mark_list_head() used cmpxchg() above, switching list head can be lazier:
  388   OrderAccess::storestore();
  389   // Unmark take, but leave the next value for any lagging list
  390   // walkers. It will get cleaned up when take is prepended to
  391   // the in-use list:
  392   set_next(take, next);
  393   return take;

Reads:
count_p--
OrderAccess::loadstore();
OrderAccess::storestore();
OrderAccess::storestore();
OrderAccess::loadstore();
OrderAccess::storestore();
take->_next_om = next;

Fixed by changing set_next to Atomic::store and removing the 
OrderAccess::storestore();

###8
ObjectSynchronizer::om_release(

1591       if (m == mid) {
1592         // We found 'm' on the per-thread in-use list so try to extract it.
1593         if (cur_mid_in_use == NULL) {
1594           // mid is the list head and it is marked. Switch the list head
1595           // to next which unmarks the list head, but leaves mid marked:
1596           self->om_in_use_list = next;
1597           // mark_list_head() used cmpxchg() above, switching list head can 
be lazier:
1598           OrderAccess::storestore();
1599         } else {
1600           // mid and cur_mid_in_use are marked. Switch cur_mid_in_use's
1601           // next field to next which unmarks cur_mid_in_use, but leaves
1602           // mid marked:
1603           OrderAccess::release_store(&cur_mid_in_use->_next_om, next);
1604         }
1605         extracted = true;
1606         Atomic::dec(&self->om_in_use_count);
1607         // Unmark mid, but leave the next value for any lagging list
1608         // walkers. It will get cleaned up when mid is prepended to
1609         // the thread's free list:
1610         set_next(mid, next);
1611         break;
1612       }

This does not look correct. Before taking this branch we have done a cmpxchg in 
mark_list_head or mark_next_loop.
This is how it reads:
OrderAccess::storestore(); // from previous cmpxchg
OrderAccess::loadstore(); // from previous cmpxchg
1591       if (m == mid) {
1593         if (cur_mid_in_use == NULL) {
1596           self->om_in_use_list = next;
1598           OrderAccess::storestore();
1599         } else {
                OrderAccess::storestore();
                OrderAccess::loadstore();
1603           cur_mid_in_use->_next_om = next;
1604         }
1605         extracted = true;
              OrderAccess::storestore();
              OrderAccess::fence(); // storestore|storeload|loadstore|loadload
	     self->om_in_use_count--; // Atomic::dec
              OrderAccess::storestore();
              OrderAccess::loadstore();
              OrderAccess::storestore();
              OrderAccess::loadstore();
	     mid->_next_om = next; // Atomic::store
1611         break;
1612       }

extracted is local variable so you so not need any orderaccess before it set.
Fixed by changing set_next to Atomic::store, removing the 
OrderAccess::storestore() and changing OrderAccess::release_store to 
Atmoic::store();

###9
1653 void ObjectSynchronizer::om_flush(Thread* self) {

1714     OrderAccess::storestore();
1715     set_next(in_use_list, next);
Fixed by changing set_next to Atomic::store.

###10
1737     self->om_free_list = NULL;
1738     OrderAccess::storestore();  // Lazier memory is okay for list walkers.

prepend_list_to_g_free_list/prepend_list_to_g_om_in_use_list does first thing 
cmpxchg so there is no need for this storestore.

###11
1797 void ObjectSynchronizer::inflate(ObjectMonitorHandle* omh_p, Thread* self,

1938       // Once ObjectMonitor is configured and the object is associated
1939       // with the ObjectMonitor, it is safe to allow async deflation:
1940       assert(m->is_new(), "freshly allocated monitor must be new");
1941       m->set_allocation_state(ObjectMonitor::Old);

So we use ref count, contention, waiter, owner and allocation state to keep OM 
alive in different scenarios.
There is not way for me to keep track of that. I don't see why you would need 
more than owner and ref count.
If you allocate the om with ref count 1 you can remove _allocation_state and 
just decrease ref count here instead.

###12
2079 bool ObjectSynchronizer::deflate_monitor

2112     if (AsyncDeflateIdleMonitors) {
2113       // clear() expects the owner field to be NULL and we won't race
2114       // with the simple C2 ObjectMonitor

The macro assambler code is not just executed by C2, so this comment is a bit 
misleading. (there are some more also)

###13
2306 int ObjectSynchronizer::deflate_monitor_list(

Same issue as ObjectSynchronizer::om_release.
Fixed by changing set_next to Atomic::store, removing the 
OrderAccess::storestore() and changing OrderAccess::release_store to 
Atmoic::store();

###14
2474       if (SafepointSynchronize::is_synchronizing() &&

This is the wrong method to call, it should 
SafepointMechanism::should_block(Thread* thread);

###15
2578 void ObjectSynchronizer::deflate_idle_monitors_using_JT() {

2616     g_wait_list = NULL;
2617     OrderAccess::storestore();  // Lazier memory sync is okay for list walkers.

I don't see that g_wait_list is ever simutainously read.
Either it is accessed by serviceThread outside a safepoint or by VMThread inside 
a safepoint?

It looks like g_wait_list can just be a local in:
void ObjectSynchronizer::deflate_idle_monitors_using_JT()

(disregarding the debug code that might read it in a safepoint)

###16
2722         assert(SafepointSynchronize::is_synchronizing(), "sanity check");

This is the wrong method to call, it should 
SafepointMechanism::should_block(Thread* thread);

##################
src/hotspot/share/runtime/vframe.cpp

We are at safepoint or current thread or in a handshake, current pending and 
waiting monitor is already stable.

##################
src/hotspot/share/services/threadService.cpp

These changes are only needed for the -HandshakeAfterDeflateIdleMonitors path.

test/jdk/java/rmi/server/UnicastRemoteObject/unexportObject/UnexportLeak.java

Note: if OM had a weak to object instead this would not be needed.
