> I would like to fork the new tests off the JDK-8150730. These tests were instrumental in capturing many bugs in my arraycopy work, and I think they are good on their own merit, because they provide a test for the current baseline and on-going minor improvements in arraycopy on all platforms, not only x86_64, and they might be cleanly backportable.

> A brief tour of these tests:
> 
> - Tests all data types;
> - Tests small arrays exhaustively, which captures conjoint/disjoint cases, errors near the edges, etc;
> - Tests large arrays with fuzzing around powers of two and powers of ten, both conjoint and disjoint cases;
> - Tests all available compilation modes for arraycopy stubs; for example, running on AVX-512 enabled machine runs all versions down to `-XX:UseAVX=0 -XX:UseSSE=0` cases;
> - Tests with/without compressed oops mode -- theoretically only needed for `Object` copies, but Hotspot cobbles together int+coops and long+no-coops loops, so I decided to alternate coops mode for all data types;
> 
> My previous version used individual `@run` clauses for all configurations, but I think the Java driver is cleaner and easier to maintain.

Aleksey Shipilev has updated the pull request incrementally with two additional commits since the last revision:

 - Separate test group and hooks into hotspot_slow_compiler
 - Trim down MAX_SIZE and explain the choice
