6977924: Changes for 6975078 produce build error with certain gcc versions Summary: The changes introduced for 6975078 assign badHeapOopVal to the _allocation field in the ResourceObj class. In 32 bit linux builds with certain versions of gcc this assignment will be flagged as an error while compiling allocation.cpp. In 32 bit builds the constant value badHeapOopVal (which is cast to an intptr_t) is negative. The _allocation field is typed as an unsigned intptr_t and gcc catches this as an error. Reviewed-by: jcoomes, ysr, phh

class G1CollectedHeap;

// This file contains the three classes that represent the memory
// pools of the G1 spaces: G1EdenPool, G1SurvivorPool, and
// G1OldGenPool. In G1, unlike our other GCs, we do not have a
// physical space for each of those spaces. Instead, we allocate
// regions for all three spaces out of a single pool of regions (that
// pool basically covers the entire heap). As a result, the eden,
// survivor, and old gen are considered logical spaces in G1, as each
// is a set of non-contiguous regions. This is also reflected in the
// way we map them to memory pools here. The easiest way to have done
// this would have been to map the entire G1 heap to a single memory
// pool. However, it's helpful to show how large the eden and survivor
// get, as this does affect the performance and behavior of G1. Which
// is why we introduce the three memory pools implemented here.
//
// The above approach inroduces a couple of challenging issues in the
// implementation of the three memory pools:
//
// 1) The used space calculation for a pool is not necessarily
// independent of the others. We can easily get from G1 the overall
// used space in the entire heap, the number of regions in the young
// generation (includes both eden and survivors), and the number of
// survivor regions. So, from that we calculate:
//
//  survivor_used = survivor_num * region_size
//  eden_used     = young_region_num * region_size - survivor_used
//  old_gen_used  = overall_used - eden_used - survivor_used
//
// Note that survivor_used and eden_used are upper bounds. To get the
// actual value we would have to iterate over the regions and add up
// ->used(). But that'd be expensive. So, we'll accept some lack of
// accuracy for those two. But, we have to be careful when calculating
// old_gen_used, in case we subtract from overall_used more then the
// actual number and our result goes negative.
//
// 2) Calculating the used space is straightforward, as described
// above. However, how do we calculate the committed space, given that
// we allocate space for the eden, survivor, and old gen out of the
// same pool of regions? One way to do this is to use the used value
// as also the committed value for the eden and survivor spaces and
// then calculate the old gen committed space as follows:
//
//  old_gen_committed = overall_committed - eden_committed - survivor_committed
//
// Maybe a better way to do that would be to calculate used for eden
// and survivor as a sum of ->used() over their regions and then
// calculate committed as region_num * region_size (i.e., what we use
// to calculate the used space now). This is something to consider
// in the future.
//
// 3) Another decision that is again not straightforward is what is
// the max size that each memory pool can grow to. Right now, we set
// that the committed size for the eden and the survivors and
// calculate the old gen max as follows (basically, it's a similar
// pattern to what we use for the committed space, as described
// above):
//
//  old_gen_max = overall_max - eden_max - survivor_max
//
// 4) Now, there is a very subtle issue with all the above. The
// framework will call get_memory_usage() on the three pools
// asynchronously. As a result, each call might get a different value
// for, say, survivor_num which will yield inconsistent values for
// eden_used, survivor_used, and old_gen_used (as survivor_num is used
// in the calculation of all three). This would normally be
// ok. However, it's possible that this might cause the sum of
// eden_used, survivor_used, and old_gen_used to go over the max heap
// size and this seems to sometimes cause JConsole (and maybe other
// clients) to get confused. There's not a really an easy / clean
// solution to this problem, due to the asynchrounous nature of the
// framework.


// This class is shared by the three G1 memory pool classes
// (G1EdenPool, G1SurvivorPool, G1OldGenPool). Given that the way we
// calculate used / committed bytes for these three pools is related
// (see comment above), we put the calculations in this class so that
// we can easily share them among the subclasses.

  // calculations we have to do are obtained concurrently and hence
  // may be inconsistent with each other. So, this provides a
  // defensive way of performing the subtraction and avoids the value
  // going negative (which would mean a very large result, given that
  // the parameter are size_t).
