> After [JDK-8359104](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8359104) where getting RSS was improved, we still see sporadic failures of the test gc/TestAlwaysPreTouchBehavior.java#<gcname> , for different gcs.
> E.g. gc/TestAlwaysPreTouchBehavior.java#Epsilon (with -Xlog:os=debug added for more output) 
> 
> 
> ----------System.err:(13/1278)----------
> java.lang.RuntimeException: RSS of this process(24465408b) should be bigger than or equal to heap size(268435456b) (available memory: 16295006208). On Linux Kernel < 4.14 RSS can be inaccurate: expected 24465408 > 268435456
> 
> 
> Looks like the RSS values we get are somewhat delayed/inaccurate .
