  scratching a bit on the surface of this change, so apologies for
rather shallow comments:

- macroAssembler_x86.cpp:5604: while this is compiler code, and I am
not sure this is final, please avoid littering the code with TODO
remarks :) They tend to be candidates for later wtf moments only.

Just file a CR for that.

- calling HeapMonitoring::do_weak_oops() (which should probably be
called weak_oops_do() like other similar methods) only if string
deduplication is enabled (in g1CollectedHeap.cpp:4511) seems wrong.

The call should be at least around 6 lines up outside the if.

Preferentially in a method like process_weak_jni_handles(), including
additional logging. (No new (G1) gc phase without minimal logging :)).

Seeing the changes in referenceProcess.cpp, you need to add the call to
HeapMonitoring::do_weak_oops() exactly similar to
process_weak_jni_handles() in case there is no reference processing
done.

- psParallelCompact.cpp:2172 similar to other places where the change
adds the call to HeapMonitoring::do_weak_oops(), remove the empty line.

- the change doubles the size of
CollectedHeap::allocate_from_tlab_slow() above the "small and nice"
threshold. Maybe it could be refactored a bit.

- referenceProcessor.cpp:40: please make sure that the includes are
sorted alphabetically (I did not check the other files yet).

- referenceProcessor.cpp:261: the change should add logging about the
number of references encountered, maybe after the corresponding "JNI
weak reference count" log message.

- threadLocalAllocBuffer.cpp:331: one more "TODO"

- threadLocalAllocBuffer.hpp: ThreadLocalAllocBuffer class
documentation should be updated about the sampling additions. I would
have no clue what the difference between "actual_end" and "end" would
be from the given information.

- threadLocalAllocBuffer.hpp:130: extra whitespace ;)

- some copyrights :)

- in heapMonitoring.hpp: there are some random comments about some code
that has been grabbed from "util/math/fastmath.[h|cc]". I can't tell
whether this is code that can be used but I assume that Noam Shazeer is
okay with that (i.e. that's all Google code).

- heapMonitoring.hpp/cpp static constant naming does not correspond to
Hotspot's. Additionally, in Hotspot static methods are cased like other
methods.

- in heapMonitoring.cpp there are a few cryptic comments at the top
that seem to refer to internal stuff that should probably be removed.

I did not think through the impact of the TLAB changes on collector
behavior yet (if there are). Also I did not check for problems with
concurrent mark and SATB/G1 (if there are).

Thanks,
  Thomas
