[aarch64-port-dev ] [Roland Westrelin] Re: Aarch64 port for ZGC, so far

[Stuart Monteith]

Thanks Per, I've not encountered any issues so far with that. With the
fix to JNI, I expect ZGC should be functioning properly now... until
the next edge-case when it is not.

This is my current set of patches:
   http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~smonteith/zgc/20190415/

It was built on tip from this morning. Meanwhile, I'll work on a patch
for multi-map ZGC for comparison.

BR,
  Stuart
