This patch looks fine to me.  A minor comment:

src/java.base/share/classes/sun/launcher/resources/launcher.properties - should this resource file be updated not to reference -agentlib:prof?

I assume you have a JBS issue tracking the launcher man page and other documentation to be updated accordingly.
