[8u-dev] Request for approval for CR JDK-8144935: C2: safepoint is pruned from a non-counted loop

[Andreas Eriksson]

Hi,

I'd like approval for a JDK 8 backport of 8144935: C2: safepoint is 
pruned from a non-counted loop
The changeset from JDK 9 applies cleanly.

Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8144935
JDK 9 Changeset: 
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/hs-comp/hotspot/rev/a6eb7b850dbd
JDK 9 review thread: 
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/hotspot-compiler-dev/2015-December/020338.html

This is a follow up bug to JDK-6869327, which I just sent out an 
approval request for as well:
