Hi all,

could you please review the patch which updates hotspot runtime tests in the same way as 8242310[1,2] updates compiler tests:
> marks ... tests w/ randomness k/w and uses Utils.getRandomInstance() instead of Random w/ _random_ seeds where possible? To identify tests which should be marked, I've used both static (in a form of analyzing classes which directly or indirectly depend on Random/SecureRandom/ThreadLocalRandom) and dynamic (by instrumenting the said classes to log tests which called their 'next' methods) analyses. I've decided *not* to mark tests which use SecureRandom only via File.createTemp* b/c in all such cases temp files are not used as a source of randomness, but rather just a reliable way to get a new/empty file/dir.

JBS: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8242311
webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~iignatyev/8242311/webrev.00

NB the patch depends on 8241707[3], which is currently under review[4].
