One thing to consider is JDK-8202353:

https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8202353

When I backported this, I had to drop JFR code changes. Compare:

https://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk/jdk/rev/f605c91e5219

and

https://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8u/jdk8u/hotspot/rev/0f2fe7d37d8c

The bug:

https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8202835

would be ideal to use to backport the remaining changes. The original
changeset used both bug IDs, but the 8u one only used 8202353.
