JDK-8357445: Implement G1 time-based heap sizing and region uncommit
This implementation adds time-based heap sizing capabilities to G1 GC, allowing automatic heap shrinking based on region inactivity. Key Features: - Time-based evaluation of heap regions for uncommit eligibility - Configurable delay before regions become eligible for uncommit - Conservative shrinking limits (25% of inactive regions, 10% of total) - Respect for minimum heap size constraints - Comprehensive logging for debugging and monitoring Implementation Details: - G1HeapEvaluationTask: Periodic evaluation task that runs every G1TimeBasedEvaluationIntervalMillis - G1HeapSizingPolicy: Core logic for identifying uncommit candidates and calculating safe shrink amounts - HeapRegion timestamp tracking: Regions track last access time - VM_G1ShrinkHeap: VM operation for safe heap shrinking at safepoints - Safepoint-aware locking: Relaxed assertions for safepoint access New Flags: - G1UseTimeBasedHeapSizing: Enable/disable the feature - G1TimeBasedEvaluationIntervalMillis: Evaluation frequency (default 30s) - G1UncommitDelayMillis: Delay before uncommit eligibility (default 300s) - G1MinRegionsToUncommit: Minimum regions required for shrinking (default 10) Testing: - Comprehensive jtreg test suite covering basic functionality, configuration validation, region tracking, and actual uncommit behavior - Tests validate both positive and negative scenarios - Robust log validation with timeout and error handling Thread Safety: - Proper Heap_lock usage during evaluation - Safepoint-aware assertions in G1Allocator - Safe VM operation execution for actual heap shrinking The implementation successfully passes all tests in release and fastdebug builds across multiple platforms.
