> There are some scenarios in which GenShen may have improper remembered set verification logic:
>
> 1. Concurrent young cycles following a Full GC:
>
> In the end of ShenandoahFullGC, it resets bitmaps for the entire heap w/o resetting marking context to be incomplete, but ShenandoahVerifier has code like below to get a complete old marking context for remembered set verification
>
>
> ShenandoahVerifier
> ShenandoahMarkingContext* ShenandoahVerifier::get_marking_context_for_old() {
> shenandoah_assert_generations_reconciled();
> if (_heap->old_generation()->is_mark_complete() || _heap->gc_generation()->is_global()) {
> return _heap->complete_marking_context();
> }
> return nullptr;
> }
>
>
> For the concurrent young GC cycles after a full GC, the old marking context used for remembered set verification is stale, and may cause unexpected result.
>
> 2. For the impl of `ShenandoahVerifier::get_marking_context_for_old` mentioned above, it always return a marking context for global GC, but marking bitmaps is already reset before before init-mark, `ShenandoahVerifier::help_verify_region_rem_set` always skip verification in this case.
>
> 3. ShenandoahConcurrentGC always clean remembered set read table, but only swap read/write table when gc generation is young, this issue causes remembered set verification before init-mark to use a completely clean remembered set, but it is covered by issue 2.

> ### Test
> - [x] `make test TEST=hotspot_gc_shenandoah`
