trouble passing JVM startup options using JTREG

[Dmitry Fazunenko]

Hi Ramki,

It's very unlikely to be an issue related to jtreg somehow.
I ran the test you mentioned manually, this is the quote from .jtr file:
...
Command line: [/jdk9/solaris-sparcv9/bin/java -d64 -cp 
/home/fa/hs-int/hotspot/test/gc/g1/JTwork/classes/gc/g1:/home/fa/hs-int/hotspot/test/gc/g1:/home/fa/hs-int/hotspot/test/gc/g1/JTwork/classes/test/lib:/home/fa/hs-int/test/lib:/home/fa/jtreg/lib/javatest.jar:/home/fa/jtreg/lib/jtreg.jar 
-XX:+UseG1GC -Xms128M -Xmx128M -Xmn2M -XX:G1HeapRegionSize=1M 
-XX:InitiatingHeapOccupancyPercent=0 -Xlog:gc 
-XX:+UnlockDiagnosticVMOptions -XX:+VerifyAfterGC *-XX:ConcGCThreads=1* 
-XX:+IgnoreUnrecognizedVMOptions -XX:+G1VerifyBitmaps ReclaimRegionFast ]
...
All the VM options are passed as expected.

I'm not sure what do you mean here, but I guess you did something wrong.

Please note, during execution of this test two JVM are launched:
- the first one started by jtreg 
(TestEagerReclaimHumongousRegionsClearMarkBits class)
- the second started by test (ReclaimRegionFast class)

In the first one ConcGCThread should be set to 0.

Thanks,
Dima
