RTM/HTM jtreg test regression

[Gustavo Romero]

Hi,

After 8160851 [1] removed the -XaddExports option it deprecated the use of
-XaddExports in the RTM jtreg tests introduced in 8164987 [2].

As a consequence all tests on POWER8 (and possible on x64 with RTM support)
under compiler/rtm/locking/* are failing as reported in [2].

The following simple change is proposed to fix that issue:

diff -r 91ef517cb13e test/compiler/testlibrary/rtm/RTMTestBase.java

+                "--add-exports", "java.base/jdk.internal.misc=ALL-UNNAMED");

         if (test != null) {
             for (String method : test.getMethodsToCompileNames()) {


Could I open a bug to fix that on 9?

Thank you.

Gustavo
