[aarch64-port-dev ] Full jcstress now added to overnight tests

[Edward Nevill]

Hi Folks,

Following a firmware upgrade of the overnight test board the full jcstress test suite is now being run as part of the overnight tests.

The first test run was yesterday and it passed all 11546 tests.

This is an important milestone and thanks to those who helped, the team at APM for their help with the test boards, Andrew Haley for his work sorting out the synchronisation and memory barriers, and to Andrew McDermott for his work setting up the tests.

The tests now run as part of the overnight tests for JDK8 are

1) Build client/release
2) Build server/release
3) Hadoop terasort/server
4) Hadoop terasort/client
5) SpecJBB2013 server
6) JTREG hotspot/client
7) JTREG hotspot/server
8) JTREG langtools/client
9) JTREG langtools/server
10) JTREG jdk/client
11) JTREG jdk/server
12) jcstress server

The total tests now take over 20 hours so we are reaching the limit of what can be done on a single board.

All the best,
Ed.
