Comments
Oracle parity with 8u261 http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~aph/8076475-8u/ Original bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8076475 Original patch: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/jdk9/hotspot/rev/4cf3113c8f42 In a couple of places the original patch didn't apply because the code being patched was not there yet. Other places required some minor adjustments.
