Hi Michi and Martin,

webrev.06 removed has_darn from match_rule_supported and the JVM now crashes
with SIGILL (cmprb) on CPUs <= POWER8. I think that what we want is both
UseCharacterCompareIntrinsics and has_darn in the predicate, so:

Martin, is what you meant on your last comment about it?

I tested the change on POWER9 and it looks good (from webrev.06 and also with
webrev.06 + the fix above)!

I think that the Opto assembly could be improved a little bit around 'done:'
label, like:

so the output would be:

044     Beq     CCR6, B5  P=0.000000 C=5377.000000

instead of:

024   B2: #     B5 B3 <- B1  Freq: 1
024     LI      R14, 0x5A41
         CMPRB   CCR6, 0, R3, R14

044     Beq     CCR6, B5  P=0.000000 C=5379.000000

If nobody opposes to that tiny enhancement I would like to keep it.

... and a nit: several trailing spaces here and there :)

I generated a webrev with has_darn in match_rule_supported, with the change to
the Opto asm, and with the trailing spaces removed. I uploaded it to:

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~gromero/8213754/webrev.07/

I pushed that same version to jdk/submit [1] not expecting any failure and once
I get the fine results and if you, Martin are ok with the version in webrev.07
I'll push it to jdk/jdk.

I'll update this thread a soon as I get the results back from jdk/submit repo.
I think we have time until Thurday 16:00 UTC, even taking into account the
3+ different timezones working on that change :)

Thank you and best regards,
Gustavo
