Description
Object copy times regress with SPECjbb2005 (and any other workload that mostly copies around data in the young generation) by a few percent.

JDK-8031323 and JDK-8057536 seem to be the problem.

Change copy_to_survivor_space() and friends to fix this.
Comments
One minor related fix would be to have per-ParScanThreadState tenuring thresholds.

This is an object copy time regression that is only a part of the gc pause. So impacts benchmarks or tests that stress that only that. Not even for benchmarks that stress that (specjbb2005) gc pause consists of 100% object copy time, but only a large part. Additionally total gc pause time is most of the time very low (low single percentage), so this difference is lost in noise.

ILW: I: low -> no impact on end-to-end performance L: high -> always W: high -> none

Some numbers of several attempts examining copy_to_survivor_space performance implications (jdk9 build, linux_x64, 5 samples each. All times in ms. "conf" is the 95% confidence interval): 1) Current Baseline: avg: 30.983, conf: 30.588 - 31.379 3) Remove load (00-remove-mark-load.patch) avg: 30.579, conf: 30.132 - 31.026 (+1.4%) (not significant) 4) Split out fast/slow path for the allocate call, based on 3) (01-split-allocation.patch) avg: 30.456, conf: 30.068 - 30.844 (+1.7%) (not significant) 5) Old Baseline (before Resman changes) avg: 30.552, conf: 30.152 - 30.952 (+1.4%) (not significant) 6) Removed survivor alignment based on 4) avg: 29.643, conf: 29.220 - 30.066 (+2.9%) (significant) (instead of the allocate_aligned() call in g1Allocator.hpp:205, call allocate() and merge the if-statement.
