Hi,

Please review this fix for: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8028498

Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~sjohanss/8028498/webrev.00/

Summary: The initial young generation size has been fairly small by default (1.5M) and if setting ObjectAlignmentInBytes to something larger than the default it can causes CDS to trigger a GC when dumping the archive. At this point the VM is not ready to handle a GC and we will hit an assertion. Making sure we can handle a GC at this point is not trivial and the proposed solution is to alter the default sizing of the young generation as well as adding a safety check when dumping the archive to exit the VM if the young generation is too small.

Testing:

Cheers, Stefan
