[8u-dev] Request for Approval: 8140244 Port fix of JDK-8075773 to AIX and possibly MacOSX

[Langer, Christoph]

Hi,

can you please approve the backport of 8140244 to 8u-dev? As 8075773 was already propagated to older JDKs, I'd like to get this one down as well.

Bug:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8140244

Review thread of JDK9:
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/hotspot-runtime-dev/2015-November/016322.html

JDK9 changeset:
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/hs-rt/hotspot/rev/9ff773cd4ba2

The patch applies cleanly, however, I made another webrev for 8udev:

Thanks,
Christoph
