[7u6] Request for approval for CR 7170449 Management is completely broken at least on Solaris 11 X86

[Daniel D. Daugherty]

Greetings,

This is a request to backport a JDK 8 fix into JDK 7u6:

7170449 2/2 Management is completely broken at least on Solaris 11 X86
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7170449

The fix has recently been pushed to JDK 8, as:

http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/tl/jdk/rev/82134992123c

and will be included in the JDK8-B42 PIT snapshot.

This fix has been reviewed on build-dev at openjdk.java.net:

http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/build-dev/2012-May/006186.html

and hotspot-runtime-dev at openjdk.java.net:

http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/hotspot-runtime-dev/2012-May/003737.html

and serviceability-dev at openjdk.java.net:

http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/serviceability-dev/2012-May/006146.html

The three review threads are currently identical.

The JDK7u6 and JDK8 jdk repo patch files are identical except
for line numbers and context diff anchor text.
