[aarch64-port-dev ] Fix for 8122937: [JEP 245] Validate JVM Command-Line Flag Arguments breaks AArch64

[Andrew Dinn]

I am trying to build the current hs-rt tree on AArch64 in order to test
against Andrew Haley's UseCondCardMark patch (JDK-8079315). That tree
now also includes the following fix for JDK-8122937:

  http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/hs-rt/hotspot/rev/5bbf25472731

The patch includes changes made to all the current cpus /except/ aarch64
which means that the aarch64 build now falls over with


/home/adinn/openjdk/hs-rt/hotspot/src/share/vm/runtime/globals_extension.hpp:242:28:
error: macro "ARCH_FLAGS" passed 7 arguments, but takes just 5
           IGNORE_CONSTRAINT)

I believe the only modification required is to add the extra 2 arguments
range and constraint to macro ARCH_FLAGS (as per most of the other
cpu-specific globals files). I am testing this now and will raise a JIRA
and submit a webrev if that is indeed all that is needed.

regards,


Andrew Dinn
