RFR: 8233078 : fix minimal VM build on Linux ppc64(le)

[Baesken, Matthias]

Hi Martin,  thanks for the input .
I  did the adjustments you suggested;  new webrev :

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~mbaesken/webrevs/8233078.1/

Regarding  : stubGenerator_ppc.cpp: "Code should better be protected by #ifdef COMPILER2 than commenting out."
Currently  the  if (OptimizeFill) { ... }    coding  is dead on ppc  .

See  :
c2_globals.hpp
------------------------
234 /* OptimizeFill not yet supported on PowerPC. */ \
235 product(bool, OptimizeFill, true PPC64_ONLY(&& false), \

c2_init_ppc.cpp
------------------------
53 if (OptimizeFill) {
54   warning("OptimizeFill is not supported on this CPU.");
55   FLAG_SET_DEFAULT(OptimizeFill, false);


Not sure if there are any plans to  support  OptimizeFill  on ppc64 ?

Best regards, Matthias




Hi Matthias,

thanks for fixing it. I have a few requests:

disassembler_ppc.cpp:
Please remove includes completely if no longer needed (instead of commenting out).

sharedRuntime_ppc.cpp:
I think it's better to remove the 2 align(InteriorEntryAlignment). Succeeding code is not performance critical.

stubGenerator_ppc.cpp:
Code should better be protected by #ifdef COMPILER2 than commenting out.

Otherwise, looks good to me.

Thanks,
Martin

Subject: RFR: 8233078 : fix minimal VM build on Linux ppc64(le)

Hello, please review the following fix .
I recently  experimented a bit with the  minimal  VM  build  on  linux x86_64    (--with-jvm-features=minimal --with-jvm-variants=minimal) .
This worked fine .

However  when I tried  the minimal vm build   on linux  ppc64 / ppc64le ,   I noticed that it fails  because of a few  wrong dependencies .
Thanks to Martin for the advice regarding

Register ic = as_Register(Matcher::inline_cache_reg_encode());

Replacement with


Register ic = R19_inline_cache_reg;
