Who is responsible for configuring jcstress for these runs? I think it still
uses the "old style" configuration via inherited cmdline options, e.g. like this:

 $ java -XX:myoption -XX:myoption2 -jar jcstress.jar ...

This wrecks up the newer jcstress configuration that chooses the VM modes to
test on automatically. See for example:
 http://openjdk.linaro.org/jdk9/jcstress-nightly-runs/2017/056/results/org.openjdk.jcstress.tests.volatiles.VolatileIncrementAtomicityTest.html

All of these run with -XX:TieredStopAtLevel=1 (inherited from cmdline,
probably), even when configuration is supposed to be changed (see the trailing
cmdline options).

Please drop the cmdline options, and let jcstress do its job:

 $ java -jar jcstress.jar

Thanks,
