[8u-dev] Request for approval: backport of JDK-8134963

[Boris Molodenkov]

Hi All,

I would like to backport JDK-8134963to 8u-dev.
The changeset from JDK9 is almost the same.
Just test header was slightly adapted to JDK8:
35,36c35
<  * @modules java.base/sun.misc
<  * @library /testlibrary /test/lib
---
 >  * @library /testlibrary /testlibrary/whitebox

Bug id: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8134963
Changeset: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/hs-rt/hotspot/rev/af014cb82e42
Review thread for original fix:
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/hotspot-gc-dev/2016-January/016330.html

Thanks,
Boris
