[8u-dev] Request for approval: backport of JDK-8035493: JVMTI PopFrame capability must instruct compilers not to prune locals

[Alexander Vorobyev]

Hi All,

I'd like approval for a JDK 8 backport of JDK-8035493 
(https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8035493)

The JDK 9 changeset applies clearly with 2 lines offset in one file ( 
src/share/vm/ci/ciEnv.cpp). Judging by changes history it caused by 
difference in previously integrated changes in JDK 8 and JDK 9 versions 
of this file. So looks like there is no need for webrev.

JDK 9 Changeset:
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/jdk9/hotspot/rev/96d2c94bbdd0
JDK 9 review thread:
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/hotspot-runtime-dev/2014-February/010980.html

Thanks,
Alexander
