Notes on individual issues:
===========================

hotspot/jfr:

JDK-8240687: JDK Flight Recorder Integrated to OpenJDK 8u
=========================================================

OpenJDK 8u now contains the backport of JEP 328: Flight Recorder
(https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/328) from later versions of OpenJDK.

JFR is a low-overhead framework to collect and provide data helpful to
troubleshoot the performance of the OpenJDK runtime and of Java
applications. It consists of a new API to define custom events under the
jdk.jfr namespace and a JMX interface to interact with the framework.
The recording can also be initiated with the application startup using
the -XX:+FlightRecorder flag or via jcmd. JFR replaces the
+XX:EnableTracing feature introduced in JEP 167, providing a more
efficient way to retrieve the same information. For compatibility
reasons, +XX:EnableTracing is still accepted, however no data will be
printed.

For this initial release, JFR is not built by default. Downstream
distributions need to pass the --enable-jfr flag at configure time to
enable it.

hotspot/runtime:

JDK-8205622: JFR Start Failure After AppCDS Archive Created with JFR
StartFlightRecording
============================================================

JFR will be disabled with a warning message if it is enabled during CDS
dumping. The user will see the following warning message:

OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM warning: JFR will be disabled during CDS dumping

if JFR is enabled during CDS dumping such as in the following command line:

$ java -Xshare:dump -XX:StartFlightRecording=dumponexit=true

security-libs/java.security:

JDK-8244167: Removal of Comodo Root CA Certificate
==================================================

The following expired Comodo root CA certificate was removed from the
`cacerts` keystore: + alias name "addtrustclass1ca [jdk]"

Distinguished Name: CN=AddTrust Class 1 CA Root, OU=AddTrust TTP
Network, O=AddTrust AB, C=SE

JDK-8244166: Removal of DocuSign Root CA Certificate
====================================================

The following expired DocuSign root CA certificate was removed from  the
`cacerts` keystore: + alias name "keynectisrootca [jdk]"

Distinguished Name: CN=KEYNECTIS ROOT CA, OU=ROOT, O=KEYNECTIS, C=FR

security-libs/javax.crypto:pkcs11:

JDK-8240191: Allow SunPKCS11 initialization with NSS when external FIPS
modules are present in the Security Modules Database
==========================================================

The SunPKCS11 security provider can now be initialized with NSS when
FIPS-enabled external modules are configured in the Security Modules
Database (NSSDB). Prior to this change, the SunPKCS11 provider would
throw a RuntimeException with the message: "FIPS flag set for
non-internal module" when such a library was configured for NSS in
non-FIPS mode.

This change allows the JDK to work properly with recent NSS releases on
GNU/Linux operating systems when the system-wide FIPS policy is turned on.

Further information can be found in JDK-8238555.
