Hi,
I understand we are still closed for integration?
Please review this small feature meanwhile:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8033380
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~shade/8033380/webrev.02/
TL;DR: JMM 9 may need to extend the access atomicity over longs and
doubles. Luckily, our logic in emitting the relevant access-atomic
instructions is decoupled from memory barriers logic, and so we can
"just" unconditionally go through needs_atomic_access where appropriate.
Testing:
- full cycle JPRT
- targeted microbenchmarks on x86/ARM/PPC
Thanks,
-Aleksey
