> Notable changes:
> * Improvements to logging
> * More accurate tracking of promotion failures
> * Use shared allocation for promotions only when the size is above the maximum plab size (not the minimum size)
> * Use census information gathered during mark to size promotion reserves and old generation
>
> With these changes, GenShen is expected to have fewer promotion failures and this is indeed the case. As a result of this, we expect less time to be spent in concurrent marking and update refs for young collections. We may also expect shorter concurrent evacuation phases because GenShen will have fewer densely packed regions stuck in the young generation. With more objects being promoted, we also expect to see longer remembered set scan times. This is generally the case across all benchmarks, but we do also see some counter-intuitive results.

William Kemper has updated the pull request with a new target base due to a merge or a rebase. The pull request now contains 68 commits:
- Merge remote-tracking branch 'jdk/master' into promotion-budget-improvements
- Disable assertion (will revisit later)
- Print global evac tracking after other gc stats
This makes it easier for parsers to distinguish from per cycle reports
- Instrumentation and assertions
- Idle cleanup as I read
- Remove vestigial to/from generation checks when evacuating in single generational mode
- Log name of thread that fails to promote
- Merge remote-tracking branch 'jdk/master' into promotion-budget-improvements
- Merge remote-tracking branch 'jdk/master' into promotion-budget-improvements
- Merge remote-tracking branch 'jdk/master' into promotion-budget-improvements
