[8u40] Backport RFR: 8050079: crash while compiling java.lang.ref.Finalizer::runFinalizer

[Tobias Hartmann]

Hi,

please review the following backport request for 8u40.

8050079: crash while compiling java.lang.ref.Finalizer::runFinalizer
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8050079
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~thartmann/8050079/webrev.03/
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/hs-comp/hotspot/rev/0bdada928884

The fix does not apply cleanly to 8u40 because of the changes to
test/TEST.groups. I removed them:

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~thartmann/8050079_8u/webrev.00/

The changes were pushed into 9 on Thursday. I'll wait for the nightlies before
pushing into 8u40.

Thanks,
Tobias
