> This code adds to generational Shenandoah the ability to perform concurrent garbage collection of young-gen and old-gen memory. Following completion of an old-gen concurrent marking effort, we select certain old-gen heap regions to serve as candidates for future collection sets. All dead objects within the old-gen heap regions that are not part of this candidate set are coalesced and filled so that remembered-set scanning of these old-gen heap regions will not be confused by "zombie objects" (objects that old-gen has decided are dead, which reside in regions that have not yet been collected). After concurrently coalescing and filling these dead objects, each subsequent young-gen evacuation pass includes a subset of the old-gen candidates until all candidates have been collected. This code passes TIER1 and hotspot-gc-shenandoah jtreg tests without regressions. A new jtreg test has been added to exercise concurrent old/young GC.
Kelvin Nilsen has updated the pull request incrementally with one additional commit since the last revision:
Refactor choose_collection_set
Divide the implementation of ShenandoahHeuristic::choose_colection_set() into
prepare_for_other_collection() and prime_collection_set_with_old_candiates() as
requested by reviewer of draft pull request. The resulting code passes TIER1 and
hotspot_gc_shenandoah jtreg regressions and runs additional generational shenandoah
stress tests.
