Hi,

Can I get approval to push a fix for: "8064391: More thread safety problems in core reflection" to 8u.

This is a 8u version of a more general fix in 9 http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/dev/jdk/rev/1e5c2bd424d5

The fix is provided by Martin Bucholz : http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~martin/webrevs/openjdk8/Class-thread-safety/
