This change looks good to me. Thanks for adding the test enumerating exhaustive combinations. I ran JCK tests and verified that no new failure.
With this change, sun.reflect.misc.ReflectUtil.ensureMemberAccess could be removed when Atomic*FieldUpdater are updated to use Reflection::ensureMemberAccess directly. As of now, we will keep ReflectUtil::ensureMemberAccess.
AccessControlTest.java is a great test. I wonder if AccessControlTest.java could be made less verbose and make it easier to read. For example, can we add a builder class that takes either the list of allowed or denied MemberFactory (but not both) to reduce the verbosity. Builder::allowAll and Builder::denyAll would be useful. allowAccessMember of a specific modifier can imply both field and method.
The builder will generate a test case that allowed and denied sets are distinct and cover the full set of MemberFactory.
