RFR(L): 8198691: CodeHeap State Analytics

[Schmidt, Lutz]

Hi Tobias, 

thank you! If you haven't started yet, you may want to wait with testing a moment. I will remove the comments Vladimir and you complained about and update the webrev. It's comments only, but you never know...

Thanks, 
Lutz

    Hi Lutz,
    
    very nice work! Thanks for incorporating the requested changes. I think you can remove the commented
    LogStream code.
    
    I'll re-run the tests that failed with the last webrev.
    
    Best regards,
    Tobias

    > I clearly understand and support the intention to get rid of the Print* command line arguments. Therefore, the PrintCodeHeapState command line argument is gone. You can request the CodeHeap state analytics with the -Xlog:codecache=Trace (vm shutdown) or -Xlog:codecache=Debug (CodeCache full and vm shutdown) switches. The output is directed to tty, not to the log stream.

The jcmd output, on the other hand, will not have the UL prefixes. I would have to distinguish between UL and jcmd output when formatting. In addition, I do not see a benefit from adding the same UL prefix to thousands of lines.
