[7u-dev] Request for Review + Request for Approval to Backport: 8064391: More thread safety problems in core reflection

[Ivan Gerasimov]

Hello!

Would you please approve the (almost) direct backport from jdk 8u to 7u?

The difference, comparing to 8u changeset, is due to change in 
Class.java, (which is already there in 8) and  in 
GenericDeclRepository.java due to genericification.

The patch is essentially the same as the one proposed by Martin in the 
bug summary.

Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8064391
Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~igerasim/8064391/0/webrev/

Sincerely yours,
Ivan
