[8u-dev] Request for enhancement backport approval for JDK-8026331: hs_err improvement: Print if we have seen any OutOfMemoryErrors or StackOverflowErrors

[Shafi Ahmad]

Hi!

Please consider the following enhancement for approval:

bug report:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8026331

This is an important fix that helps in analyzing the user issues.

All standard JPRT tests run and passed (hotspot testset). 

The change itself is relatively safe as this change emits additional data into the hs_err file without changing any behavior of JVM. 
It has zero almost impact on JVM. I believe there is negligible risk in including this in JDK 8.

Regards,
Shafi
