Description
RULE nsk/jvmti/Allocate/alloc001 Crash Out of Memory Error ...os_linux_x86.cpp...


# There is insufficient memory for the Java Runtime Environment to continue.
# pthread_getattr_np
# Possible reasons:
#   The system is out of physical RAM or swap space
#   In 32 bit mode, the process size limit was hit
# Possible solutions:
#   Reduce memory load on the system
#   Increase physical memory or swap space
#   Check if swap backing store is full
#   Use 64 bit Java on a 64 bit OS
#   Decrease Java heap size (-Xmx/-Xms)
#   Decrease number of Java threads
#   Decrease Java thread stack sizes (-Xss)
#   Set larger code cache with -XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=

Same test times out on mac.

On linux this bug can be fixed by setting the environment variable "export MALLOC_ARENA_MAX=4". MALLOC_ARENA_MAX does not solve the problem for the linked bug on mac. This test always times out on mac. I would like to solve both bugs before I submit this fix.

When virtual memory has been limited with "ulimit -v" and using GC " -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC", then the jvm crashes at startup. The solution is to add another GC argument to limit the GC memory use, but I have not yet found the correct GC argument to add.
