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.
Test times:
# x86_64 (TR 3970X)
real 9m11.037s
user 78m2.766s
sys 0m19.873s
# x86_32 (TR 3970X)
real 13m39.054s
user 147m38.308s
sys 0m10.924s
# x86_64 (i5-11500)
real 41m32.622s
user 447m19.986s
sys 0m21.026s
# AArch64 (ThunderX2)
real 5m34.210s
user 45m16.015s
sys 0m24.723s
Since these tests are quite long, especially on small machines, I hooked them up to `hotspot:tier3`.
Additional testing:
- [x] Linux x86_64 fastdebug `compiler/stress/arraycopy`
- [x] Linux x86_32 fastdebug `compiler/stress/arraycopy`
- [x] Linux AArch64 fastdebug `compiler/stress/arraycopy`
