> 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:

  Cosmetic improvements requested by review
  
  Following these changes, we ran jtreg TIER1 and hotspot_gc_shenandoah tests with no regressions.
  Also ran a stress Extremem workload.
