[8u-dev] Request for approval for CR: 8165482: java in ldoms, with cpu-arch=generic has problems

[Kevin Walls]

Hi,

This is an approval request to backport into 8u:

8165482: java in ldoms, with cpu-arch=generic has problems
9 changeset: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/hs/hotspot/rev/dfff5edc66df

With a few routine changes this backports OK:

src/cpu/sparc/vm/vm_version_sparc.cpp: has a different initial number of 
%s in a call to jio_snprintf(), so it's not automatic, but the backport 
adds one %s.

src/os_cpu/solaris_sparc/vm/vm_version_solaris_sparc.cpp: in 8u we have 
an #ifndef PRODUCT which isn't in 9, not part of the change, but means 
the diff won't apply automatically.

9 uses log(), logging in 8u uses tty->print_cr, and needs err_msg() to 
form a message rather than having printf-style formatting built-in.  8u 
also uses  #ifndef PRODUCT also, and in some places if 
(PrintMiscellaneous && Verbose)

Webrev in 8u of these changes:

Thanks
