RFR(M) : 8059624 : Test task: WhiteBox API for testing segmented codecache feature

[Tobias Hartmann]

Hi Igor,

looks good (not a reviewer). In addition to Vladimir's comments:

'WhiteBox::allocateCodeHeap' should be 'allocate_code_heap'. I think the name is
a bit misleading since we don't allocate a CodeHeap but a CodeBlob in a
CodeHeap. Maybe use 'code_heap_allocate' or 'allocate_code_blob'. Same for
'WB_AllocateCodeHeap'.

In 'BlobType::getAvailable' you always return the NonProfiledCodeHeap if
CodeCacheSegmentation is enabled. But if we only use the interpreter (-Xint), we
don't have any method code heaps. Also with 'TieredStopAtLevel <=
CompLevel_simple' we don't need the ProfiledCodeHeap (see
'CodeCache::heap_available'). The corresponding tests will hit the "heap is
null" assert in 'CodeCache::allocate'.

Best,
Tobias
