    Description

      Summary

      Obsolete the VM product option HeapFirstMaximumCompactionCount due to removal of corresponding functionality. It's used/implemented only by Parallel GC.

      Problem

      This flag offers little benefit and is rarely used, but complicates the implementation on deciding whether a full-gc should do maximum-compaction.

      Solution

      Remove the functionality and obsolete the VM product option HeapFirstMaximumCompactionCount without any deprecation period.

      Specification

      -  product(uintx, HeapFirstMaximumCompactionCount, 3,                        \
      -          "The collection count for the first maximum compaction")          \
      -          range(0, max_uintx)                                               \
      -                                                                            \
