> Vectorization support of Integer.bitCount() already exists but currently the same support is lacking for Long.bitCount(). Similar to the C2 PopCountVI node, we created a C2 PopCountVL node and used vpopcntq x86 instruction to enable vectorized Long.bitCount(). This patch shows 2.57x improvement in performance on a JMH micro benchmark due to x86 vectorization.

 - Merge branch 'master' of https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk into vlong
 - Update IR framework test to check for non-zero count of PopCountVL
 - Update year in copyright notice. Add avx512dq check for vectorization test
 - Update popcount long test to use IR framework
 - Use generic vector node names
 - Add JMH micro benchmark to measure performance
 - 8278868:Add x86 vectorization support for Long.bitCount()
