I can't actually determine what documentation was provided in relation to this issue - can someone shed some light on that please?

I updated Description because we don't have new flag -XX:CompilationMode anymore.

[~schetan], what's the status of this? (The fix is now integrated)

We need to document 2 points. First, that 32-bit Client VM was removed from linux-x86 and Windows according to JDK-8134633 JEP C168: JDK 9 Platform Support. As result Java flag -client flag can't be used anymore. Second, due to limited virtual address space on windows in 32-bit mode JVM will emulate behavior of -client flag by default (C1 JIT compiler, Serial GC, 32Mb CodeCache). To revert to server mode (-server) the flag -XX:{+|-}TieredCompilation could be used. On linux-x86 there is no client mode emulation - only server mode (-server) is supported.

JDK-8166002 was pushed now. [~jcm], [~kvn], do you think documentation is required for this? No command line flags were added but we could mention this in the VM Guide if necessary.

On Hold and waiting for closing JDK-8166002.

Hi Shilpa, JDK-8166002 is still in progress. I would suggest to wait with the documentation until the bug is fixed because the behavior may change.
