RFR(M): 8026253: New type profiling points: sparc support

[Christian Thalinger]

src/share/vm/c1/c1_LIRGenerator.cpp:

!   ciKlass* exact = profile_type(md, 0, md->byte_offset_of_slot(data, ret->type_offset()),
!   ciKlass* exact = profile_type(md, md->byte_offset_of_slot(data, ret->type_offset()), 0,

What is this change?

src/cpu/sparc/vm/interp_masm_sparc.cpp:

+         // We're right after the type profile for the last
+         // argument. tmp is the number of cell left in the
+         // CallTypeData/VirtualCallTypeData to reach its end. Non null
+         // if there's a return to profile.
+         assert(ReturnTypeEntry::static_cell_count() < TypeStackSlotEntries::per_arg_count(), "can't move past ret type");
+         sll(tmp1, exact_log2(DataLayout::cell_size), tmp1);
+         add(ImethodDataPtr, tmp1, ImethodDataPtr);

I think “tmp” is referring to “tmp1” and “cell” should be plural, shouldn’t it?

Some comments are missing the final “.”.

Also, I didn’t verify the machine instructions in detail but a quick scan didn’t bring up anything obviously wrong.  I guess you did some testing.

Looks good.
