Could I have a review of a PR that fixes the 'jfr gc view' when using ZGC?
Could I have a review of a PR that fixes the 'jfr gc view' when using ZGC? The problem is that jdk.YoungGarbageCollection and jdk.OldGarbageCollection events are not used with ZGC. Instead, jdk.ZYoungGarbageCollection and jdk.ZOldGarbageCollection are used.
Before:
**$ jfr view gc recording.jfr**
Garbage Collections
Start GC ID Type Heap Before GC Heap After GC Longest Pause

Note: "Unknown" can still occur if not all events for a GC ID have been emitted.
I also made a change so that GCs are now ordered according to GC ID. This prevents issues where entries with a start time of N/A appear first in cases where not all events are emitted for a GC cycle.
Testing: jdk/jdk/jfr + manual inspection with ZGC, G1, Parallel and Serial.
Thanks
Erik
