Parallel: Use PreservedMarks to record promotion-failed objects

XMLWordPrintable

    • gc
    • b08

        At the end of a Young-GC, we walk the whole young-gen to find promotion-failed objs.

        ```
        void PSScavenge::clean_up_failed_promotion() {
          ...
          RemoveForwardedPointerClosure remove_fwd_ptr_closure;
          young_gen->object_iterate(&remove_fwd_ptr_closure);
          ...
        }
        ```

        This can be quite expensive, especially #promotion-failed objs is ususally small if any.

        An alternative is to use `PreservedMarks` to record those promotion-failed objs. (`PreservedMarks` is originally used for objs whose markWord must be preserved, `markWord::must_be_preserved`.)
