This change revamps the slow allocation path of G1. Improvements include the following: a) Allocations directly to old regions are now totally banned. G1 now only allows allocations out of young regions (with the only exception being humongous regions). b) The thread that allocates a new region (which is now guaranteed to be young) does not dirty all its cards. Each thread that successfully allocates out of a young region is now responsible for dirtying the cards that corresponding to the "block" that just got allocated. c) allocate_new_tlab() and mem_allocate() are now implemented differently and TLAB allocations are only done by allocate_new_tlab(). d) If a thread schedules an evacuation pause in order to satisfy an allocation request, it will perform the allocation at the end of the safepoint so that the thread that initiated the GC also gets "first pick" of any space made available by the GC. e) If a thread is unable to allocate a humongous object it will schedule an evacuation pause in case it reclaims enough regions so that the humongous allocation can be satisfied aftewards. f) The G1 policy is more careful to set the young list target length to be the survivor number +1. g) Lots of code tidy up, removal, refactoring to make future changes easier.

README:
This file should be located at the top of the OpenJDK Mercurial repository
forest. This top or enclosing repository will include a "make" directory,
and a Makefile at the very top of the repository.
It should also include the 6 repositories: "jdk", "hotspot", "langtools",
"corba", "jaxws" and "jaxp".
See http://openjdk.java.net/ for more information about the OpenJDK.
Simple Build Instructions:
1. Download and install a JDK 6 from
http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
Set the environment variable ALT_BOOTDIR to the location of this JDK 6.
2. Download and install the Binary Plugs for the most recent JDK7 from
http://download.java.net/openjdk/jdk7/
Set the environment variable ALT_BINARY_PLUGS_PATH to the location of
these binary plugs.
3. Check the sanity of doing a build with the current machine:
gnumake sanity
See README-builds.html if you run into problems.
4. Do a complete build of the jdk:
gnumake all
The resulting JDK image should be found in build/*/j2sdk-image
where gnumake is GNU make 3.78.1 or newer, /usr/bin/make on Linux and
/usr/sfw/bin/gmake or /opt/sfw/bin/gmake on Solaris.
