- In PSPromotionManager::initialize(), please extract the
"ParallelGCThreads + 1" calculation into a local variable.
- nitpick: the comment in PSPromotionManager::post_scavenge(), since it is a proper sentence, start with upper case and end with full stop.
- in PreservedMarksSet::restore(), I would prefer if the total_size
were calculated as the marks are restored. I do not see a particular
reason why you would need to calculate this beforehand, and it is an
extra loop over a potentially large number of threads.
Like PreservedMarks::get() returned the number of preserved marks, and
the method just added them together.
- I personally dislike the use of "counter-variable += 1" in the
increment section of for-loops, and prefer using a post-decrement. Feel
free to ignore this comment.

- I would remove the "ergo" tag, and try to make the message more
meaningful, as the "gc" tag is the catch-all bucket. E.g. something
like "Restoring... marks after evacuation failure.".
Otherwise it looks good to me. I will run it through jprt and some test
list.
Thanks,
Thomas
