[aarch64-port-dev ] Initial import from shenandoah/jdk8u/hotspot

[Roman Kennke]

Hi there,

I would like to push the initial import of Shenandoah code from

 http://hg.openjdk.java.net/shenandoah/jdk8u/hotspot

I uplaoded a summary of all the changesets that would get pushed to:

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~rkennke/jdk8u-aarch64-shenandoah-changsets.
txt

Unfortunately, webrev doesn't seem to work well with many changesets
like this. It can do it, but it ain't pretty :-)

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~rkennke/jdk8u-aarch64-shenandoah/webrev.00/
(still uploading as I write this, it might take a while to complete...)

Unfortunately this includes some stuff from 

http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8u/jdk8u/hotspot

that is not in aarch64-port yet. In particular, that's everything
between jdk8u71-b15 (the point where aarch64-port/jdk8u is) up
to jdk8u82-b00 (the point where shenandoah/jdk8u is). Upstream is
currently at jdk8u102-b03, so we might want to bring both aarch64-
port/jdk8u and shenandoah/jdk8u up to that first?
