            Bug ID: 141290
           Summary: [ARM] GC sometimes stuck in an infinite loop if
                    parallel GC is enabled
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)

GTK bot: https://build.webkit.org/builders/GTK%20Linux%20ARM%20Release?numbuilds=200
EFL bot: http://build.webkit.sed.hu/builders/EFL%20ARMv7%20Linux%20Release%20%28Build%29?numbuilds=200

2-3-4 tests regularly fail with timeout on ARM Thumb2 Linux bots long long time ago.
Unfortunately there were a long period when ~200 tests failed on the ARM Thumb2 EFL
bot, that's why it wasn't so easy to found what and when happened.

But fortunately it is quite easy to reproduce the bug on
- jsc-layout-tests.yaml/js/script-tests/basic-set.js 
- jsc-layout-tests.yaml/js/script-tests/basic-map.js

They fail - stuck in an infinite loop - once from 10-15 runs.
GDB showed that it always happen somewhere in GC code.

I checked the bot history thoroughly too and I found that this kind of timeout
problems started when EFL port enabled parallel GC - http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/165527

And I can confirm that the problem goes away with disabled parallel GC.
(There is no problem on ARM traditional, because it doesn't support 
weakCompareAndSwap yet (bug127679), so paralllel GC is still disabled on it.)
