which was pushed at 2028 PT/2128 MT/2328 ET so it did not make the 1900 PT
2017.02.15 nightly cutoff. Mach5's 14 test failures appear to all be in JDK
tests... Of course, we don't know if there will be additional failures in
JDK9-hs nightly testing.


So the good news: Mach5 detected this failure earlier than we would
have seen it with our normal HotSpot nightly! And with the email
notification to all of the folks involved, there has already been
eight follow-up messages (I don't count this one).

Fix Request jdk8u Patch applies cleanly net of file names and line numbers, except for running the two new tests, for which jdk8 requires a shell script to run them. Review request posted on jdk8u-dev. Hotspot runtime jtreg tests pass.

Fix Request This day-one bug in G1 has become more critical as usage of weak JNI handles has drastically increased since the reintroduction of the fix in JDK-8162795. This issue is suspected to be a duplicate of an issue that has impacted both WLS JDK 9 uptake (JDK-8176365) and has occurred in hotspot nightly testing in JDK-8176325. The fix adds a tag bit to all JNI weak handles (jweak), this is needed because G1 needs to detect when a weak reference is dereferenced but the jweak type is aliased to jobject so the type system is of no help to us. The tag bit needs to be stripped out and acted upon in several pieces of platform specific code. The risk of the fix is not negligible since it has in fact been backed out twice but the problems uncovered have been easy to fix. The fix comes with regression tests for the problematic cases we came up with. It has also been tested with HS tier 2-5 common+gc and has been reviewed by a large amount of people since this is the third iteration of the fix: mdoerr, pliden, dlong, dcubed, coleenp, aph, tschatzl (both mgerdin and kbarrett have worked on the fix in different iterations and have reviewed the changesets as well). A webrev of the fix is located at: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~mgerdin/8176100/

Is this actually a new issue? If it is caused by JDK-8162795 as suggested in JDK-8176325 the problem is already in jdk9/jdk9 so this would not be an integration blocker.

Transferred integration_blocker and hs_nightly labels from duplicate bug.

Oh, that's right!
