RFA: 8169556: Wrapping of FileInputStream's native skip and available methods

[Chan, Sunny]

Hello,

I would like to propose backporting JDK-8169556 to JDK8u-dev. The patch mostly applies cleanly except for the make/mapfiles/libjava/mapfile-vers. As a result I have attached the JDK 8 patch in the email. The patch has been tested with java.io test cases.

JBS:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8169556

JDK9 changeset:
