[8u-dev] Request for approval: backport of JDK-8055844

[Boris Molodenkov]

Hi All,

I would like to backport JDK-8055844 to 8u-dev.
The changeset from JDK9 applies cleanly.

Bug id: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8055844
Changeset: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/jdk9/hotspot/rev/026e9d17ba9b
Review thread for original fix:
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/hotspot-runtime-dev/2014-August/012387.html

Thanks,
Boris
