M3 stabilization requests for 2009/5/7 (b59)

[Mark Reinhold]

Today we have:

  6829234  poonam.bajaj     Refix 6822407 and 6812971

Paul says: Fix for a fix in the Serviceability Agent.

This only affects that component; okay.

  6833576  john.cuthbertso  G1: assert(0 <= i && i < _len,"illegal
                            index") utilities/growableArray.hpp:186

Paul says: G1-only fix.  Could hit the assert during fastdebug QA, could
segv in product vm if pointer arithmetic produces garbage.

G1-only, so this works for me.

  6833879  changpeng.fang   Assigning positive zero is ignored when old
                            value is negative zero

Paul says: Language correctness fix.  Low risk, since it just disables an
optimization.

Hmm; I'm nervous about changing anything in the opto code, but this does
indeed look low-risk, so okay.

  6837011  christian.thali  SIGSEGV in PhaseIdealLoop in 32bit jvm

Paul says: Small, low risk change

Okay.

  6837224  thomas.rodrigue  libsaproc.so on linux needs version of 6799141

Paul says: Serviceability Agent linux build fix.

SA-only, okay.

  6838154  thomas.rodrigue  make/linux/makefiles/sa.make needs hash-style fix

Paul says: The fix for 6837224:libsaproc.so on linux needs version of
6799141 turns out to be partial.  This one completes it.

SA-only, okay.

  6837982  christopher.heg  SCTP API docs not being generated

Only affects docs build.  Okay.

Since most of these requests have been around since yesterday, except the
last which is only a docs-build bug, I'll go ahead and approve them all
unless someone raises an objection by 10am PDT.
