Hi,

There are two reasons the no. of errors for hotspot are higher than for the nightly build.

The first is that the nightly build has an exclude list which exclude tests which test features which are unimplemented on aarch64 such as G1GC and also certain other tests are excluded. I need to go though the exclude list and sanitise it somewhat.

The second is that the nightly build uses a native build whereas I was doing a cross compiled build. This causes about 5 additional errors.

When I redo the tests with a native build and using the same exclude list I get the following for all the tags from b117 to b128.

hotspot - server/fastdebug - aarch64

B117 390/5/13
B118 380/5/23
b119 377/4/27
b120 382/5/21
b121 386/2/20
b122 384/3/21
b124 382/3/23
b126 386/2/20
b127 385/3/20
b128 386/2/20

So initially there was a an increase up to 31 total errors + failures, this has now reduced to 22 total errors + failures, compared with 18 total errors + failures to start with.

1 additional error I know about, is due to an additional test in b128.

The remaining failures I do not believe are anything to do with the aarch64 specific changes, given the limited nature of these changes.

What I would like to do is push to b126 and then address the additional errors. We will also then have the advantage of picking up the errors in the overnight test runs.
