Here are my Mach5 Tier[1-7] results:

Mach5 Tier1:
- no failures
- 25 runs of the updated tests in Tier1

Mach5 Tier2:
- 1 known, unrelated failure
- The updated tests don't run in Tier2.

Mach5 Tier3:
- 5 known, unrelated test failures
- 70 runs of the updated tests

Mach5 Tier4:
- 17 runs of the updated tests
- 2 known, unrelated test failures

Mach5 Tier5:
- 56 runs of the updated tests
- 1 known, unrelated failure, 3 failures of the updated tests linked to the known bugs

Mach5 Tier6:
- 122 runs of the updated tests
- 2 failures of the updated tests, linked to the known bugs

Mach5 Tier7:
- 151 runs of the updated tests
- 1 failure of the updated tests, linked to the known bug 

Because of the failures in the upper tiers, when this PR is integrated I will be ProblemListing:

vmTestbase/nsk/jvmti/SuspendThread/suspendthrd003/TestDescription.java 8264605
vmTestbase/nsk/jvmti/PopFrame/popframe011/TestDescription.java 8266593

The suspendthrd003/8264605 failure had been seen one time in the CI on 2021.04.01
(April Fools Day!) and is now much more reproducible with the updated version. The
popframe011/8266593 failure had never been seen before being updated.
