  31 // A "SharedHeap" is an implementation of a java heap for HotSpot.  This
  32 // is an abstract class: there may be many different kinds of heaps.  This
  33 // class defines the functions that a heap must implement, and contains
  34 // infrastructure common to all heaps.

  50 // Note on use of FlexibleWorkGang's for GC.
  51 // There are three places where task completion is determined.
  52 // In
  53 //    1) ParallelTaskTerminator::offer_termination() where _n_threads
  54 //    must be set to the correct value so that count of workers that
  55 //    have offered termination will exactly match the number
  56 //    working on the task.  Tasks such as those derived from GCTask
  57 //    use ParallelTaskTerminator's.  Tasks that want load balancing
  58 //    by work stealing use this method to gauge completion.
  59 //    2) SubTasksDone has a variable _n_threads that is used in
  60 //    all_tasks_completed() to determine completion.  all_tasks_complete()
  61 //    counts the number of tasks that have been done and then reset
  62 //    the SubTasksDone so that it can be used again.  When the number of
  63 //    tasks is set to the number of GC workers, then _n_threads must
  64 //    be set to the number of active GC workers. G1RootProcessor and
  65 //    GenCollectedHeap have SubTasksDone.
  66 //    3) SequentialSubTasksDone has an _n_threads that is used in
  67 //    a way similar to SubTasksDone and has the same dependency on the
  68 //    number of active GC workers.  CompactibleFreeListSpace and Space
  69 //    have SequentialSubTasksDone's.
  70 //
  71 // Examples of using SubTasksDone and SequentialSubTasksDone:
  72 //  G1RootProcessor and GenCollectedHeap::process_roots() use
  73 //  SubTasksDone* _process_strong_tasks to claim tasks for workers
  74 //
  75 //  GenCollectedHeap::gen_process_roots() calls
  76 //      rem_set()->younger_refs_iterate()
  77 //  to scan the card table and which eventually calls down into
  78 //  CardTableModRefBS::par_non_clean_card_iterate_work().  This method
  79 //  uses SequentialSubTasksDone* _pst to claim tasks.
  80 //  Both SubTasksDone and SequentialSubTasksDone call their method
  81 //  all_tasks_completed() to count the number of GC workers that have
  82 //  finished their work.  That logic is "when all the workers are
  83 //  finished the tasks are finished".
  84 //
  85 //  The pattern that appears  in the code is to set _n_threads
  86 //  to a value > 1 before a task that you would like executed in parallel
  87 //  and then to set it to 0 after that task has completed.  A value of
  88 //  0 is a "special" value in set_n_threads() which translates to
  89 //  setting _n_threads to 1.
  90 //
  91 //  Some code uses _n_termination to decide if work should be done in
  92 //  parallel.  The notorious possibly_parallel_oops_do() in threads.cpp
  93 //  is an example of such code.  Look for variable "is_par" for other
  94 //  examples.
  95 //
  96 //  The active_workers is not reset to 0 after a parallel phase.  It's
  97 //  value may be used in later phases and in one instance at least
  98 //  (the parallel remark) it has to be used (the parallel remark depends
  99 //  on the partitioning done in the previous parallel scavenge).

 127   //Some collectors will perform "process_strong_roots" in parallel.
 128   // Such a call will involve claiming some fine-grained tasks, such as
 129   // scanning of threads.  To make this process simpler, we provide the
 130   // "strong_roots_parity()" method.  Collectors that start parallel tasks
 131   // whose threads invoke "process_strong_roots" must
 132   // call "change_strong_roots_parity" in sequential code starting such a
 133   // task.  (This also means that a parallel thread may only call
 134   // process_strong_roots once.)
 135   //
 136   // For calls to process_roots by sequential code, the parity is
 137   // updated automatically.
 138   //
 139   // The idea is that objects representing fine-grained tasks, such as
 140   // threads, will contain a "parity" field.  A task will is claimed in the
 141   // current "process_roots" call only if its parity field is the
 142   // same as the "strong_roots_parity"; task claiming is accomplished by
 143   // updating the parity field to the strong_roots_parity with a CAS.
 144   //
 145   // If the client meats this spec, then strong_roots_parity() will have
 146   // the following properties:
 147   //   a) to return a different value than was returned before the last
 148   //      call to change_strong_roots_parity, and
 149   //   c) to never return a distinguished value (zero) with which such
