7039089: G1: changeset for 7037276 broke heap verification, and related cleanups Summary: In G1 heap verification, we no longer scan perm to G1-collected heap refs as part of process_strong_roots() but rather in a separate explicit oop iteration over the perm gen. This preserves the original perm card-marks. Added a new assertion in younger_refs_iterate() to catch a simple subcase where the user may have forgotten a prior save_marks() call, as happened in the case of G1's attempt to iterate perm to G1 refs when verifying the heap before exit. The assert was deliberately weakened for ParNew+CMS and will be fixed for that combination in a future CR. Also made some (non-G1) cleanups related to code and comments obsoleted by the migration of Symbols to the native heap. Reviewed-by: iveresov, jmasa, tonyp
