Hi,
There is an experimental JVM flag called ClearFPUAtPark that is used
only by SPARC. It is turned off by default and is marked as Unsafe and
Unstable.
The idea is to tell the Solaris kernel not to save floating point
registers when context switching.
I propose to remove it as it is an unstable option. It relies on an
implicit unstable OS contract with the kernel that may or may not be
honored.
Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8181785
Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~eosterlund/8181785/webrev.00/
Testing: JPRT
Will need a sponsor.
Thanks,
/Erik
