Only this changeset.  I’ll be sending out comments on others later, separate messages for each.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
src/share/vm/gc/g1/heapRegion.inline.hpp
 149   assert(ClassUnloadingWithConcurrentMark,

Is this assertion really correct?  There is a similar assertion in
block_size, but it is protected by a call to block_is_obj.  I'm not
seeing similar protection for this one.  Maybe I'm missing someting?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
src/share/vm/gc/g1/g1RemSet.cpp
 728   }

Close brace is now mis-indented.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
src/share/vm/gc/g1/heapRegion.hpp
 329   template <class Closure, bool is_gc_active>
 330   inline bool do_oops_on_card_in_humongous(MemRegion mr,

and

 682   template <class Closure, bool is_gc_active>
 683   inline bool oops_on_card_seq_iterate_careful(MemRegion mr, Closure* cl);

It would be better to have the is_gc_active template parameter first.
That would allow the Closure parameter to be deduced in calls, e.g.
instead of

    card_processed = r->oops_on_card_seq_iterate_careful<G1UpdateRSOrPushRefOopClosure, true>(dirty_region, &update_rs_oop_cl);

one would use

    card_processed = r->oops_on_card_seq_iterate_careful<true>(dirty_region, &update_rs_oop_cl);

with Closure being deduced from the type of the argument in the call.
