Description
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/serviceability-dev/2017-February/020940.html

In modern Linux e.g. Fedora 25, executables are built as DSO for security [1].
java command in OpenJDK which is provided by distribution is also DSO.
However, SA does not work with DSO executables.

Currently, OpenJDK 8 in Fedora25 is built as DSO.
So I want to contribute this patch to JDK 8 or later release.

noreg-hard. Normal OpenJDK build processes do not build executables as DSO's. This would need a custom build of the JDK to be able to exercise the test.

Moved to hotspot->svc which I think is the right component for the SA.
