JDK-8010780 - G1: Eden occupancy/capacity output wrong after a full GC
Description
If we run with -XX:+PrintGCDetails and G1 hits a full GC we get the log like below:

[Full GC (System.gc()) 696K->291K(7168K), 0.0186630 secs]

In this, perm gen info is not printed. Perm Gen info should also get printed on the Full GC info line similar to what other garbage collectors report:

[Full GC (System) [Tenured: 0K->290K(4480K), 0.0053810 secs] 694K->290K(6464K), [Perm : 2625K->2625K(21248K)], 0.0058610 secs] [Times: user=0.01 sys=0.00, real=0.01 secs]
Comments
In hs25 we should print out the metaspace information and in hs24 we should print out the perm gen info. Ideally the refactoring introduced as part of 8010780 should be used but it needs to be backported to hs24.
