>> As a follow-up to #6375, this change refactors java.io.ObjectInputStream.Caches#subclassAudits and java.io.ObjectOutputStream.Caches#subclassAudits to use ClassValue instead of SoftReference, similar to what we did in #6375 for java.io.ObjectStreamClass.Caches#localDescs. Then we can now also remove the common machinery java.io.ObjectStreamClass#processQueue and java.io.ObjectStreamClass.WeakClassKey.

Skara is failing to run jcheck on this PR. I think this is ultimately a bug in Skara, that gets tickled by your source branch being quite far behind jdk:master, in combination with 62a7f5d3236ab2248518a475b1d8b71cb4bf1313 recently going in. If you merge jdk:master into your branch, I believe this will resolve itself for now.
