More hotspot tests and some backported fixes

[Volker Simonis]

Hi,

I think these kind of tests are intersting and usefull but
unfortuantely, there are jus a small handfull of them available under
"hotspot/test/compiler". Does anybody from SUN know if there are more
of these hotspot/compiler kind of test avaialble within SUN which are
just waiting to get open sourced?

I think for porters they would be very interesting and helpfull.
Especially tests which cover corner cases of the HotSpot like for
example:
 - Java to Native transitions
 - Deoptimzations and OSR in various situations
     - above a compiled frame
     - above an interpreted frame
 - the various adapters (I2C, C2I, I2N,...)
 - the various calls (static, virtual, leaf, ...)
 - stack overflow situations
 - exception handling in various situations
 - JIT inlining
 - Synchronization (lightweight-, heavyweight-, biased locki

Does anybody know if such kind of tests exist somewhere?

Regards,
Volker
