I think this patch is very nearly a clone of
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/aarch64-port/jdk9/hotspot/rev/5a92ef3b79a5
The main difference is, I think, the setting of CODE_CACHE_SIZE_LIMIT.
I am very keen not to see divergence in this area if at all possible,
so this looks okay. I don't think it's been changed much.
Ed, does the Apace BigTop build suffer with default
ReservedCodeCacheSize? I'vebeen wanting to find out if a larger code
cache outweighs the overhead of trampolines.
Andrew.
