> In offline discussion, we noted that the documentation on this annotation does not recommend minimizing the intrinsified section and moving whatever can be done in Java to Java; thus I prepared this documentation update, to shrink a "TLDR" essay to something concise for readers, such as pointing to that list at `vmIntrinsics.hpp` instead of "a list".

Chen Liang has updated the pull request with a new target base due to a merge or a rebase. The incremental webrev excludes the unrelated changes brought in by the merge/rebase. The pull request contains eight additional commits since the last revision:

 - Move intrinsic to be a subsection; just one most common function of the annotation
 - Merge branch 'master' of https://github.com/openjdk/jdk into doc/intrinsic-candidate
 - Merge branch 'master' of https://github.com/openjdk/jdk into doc/intrinsic-candidate
 - Update src/java.base/share/classes/jdk/internal/vm/annotation/IntrinsicCandidate.java
