Hello
Please review this fix for bug JDK-8160638
<https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8160638>
The issue is with solaris only.
When java mmaps heap (with compressed Oops enabled), mmaped heap become
upper limit for any native mallocs.
So when heap is starting at 2 gb, the maximum we can malloc is 2gb.
Native malloc is used by Direct Memory Buffers, so even with
-XX:MaxDirectMemorySize=100g we are still limited with less than 2 gb of
memory for Direct Memory Buffers.
The fix moves HeapBaseMinAddress to upper space when it's needed for
MaxDirectMemorySize to operate properly, leaving about 1 gb of native
memory for java's needs.
Testing: jprt, included testcase.
