Description
G1DefaultMinNewGenPercent, G1DefaultMaxNewGenPercent, G1OldCSetRegionLiveThresholdPercent and G1MixedGCCountTarget are important knobs while tuning G1 and the performance team has received requests to get these available in a jdk7 update.
We would also like to make the names more user friendly e.g. - 
G1DefaultMinNewGenPercent to G1NewSizePercent,
G1DefaultMaxNewGenPercent to G1MaxNewSizePercent, 
G1OldCSetRegionLiveThresholdPercent to G1MixedGCLiveThresholdPercent
Comments
Closing as duplicate of 8001424 and 8001425. No changes will be necessary when these are fixed and backported to hsx24.
