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

core-libs/java.lang:

JDK-8201793: (ref) Reference object should not support cloning
==============================================================
`java.lang.ref.Reference::clone` method always throws
`CloneNotSupportedException`. `Reference` objects cannot be
meaningfully cloned. To create a new Reference object, call the
constructor to create a `Reference` object with the same referent and
reference queue instead.

JDK-8175797: (ref) Reference::enqueue method should clear the reference object before enqueuing
===============================================================================================
`java.lang.ref.Reference.enqueue` method clears the reference object
before it is added to the registered queue. When the `enqueue` method
is called, the reference object is cleared and `get()` method will
return null in OpenJDK 8u352.

Typically when a reference object is enqueued, it is expected that the
reference object is cleared explicitly via the `clear` method to avoid
memory leak because its referent is no longer referenced. In other
words the `get` method is expected not to be called in common cases
once the `enqueue`method is called. In the case when the `get` method
from an enqueued reference object and existing code attempts to access
members of the referent, `NullPointerException` may be thrown. Such
code will need to be updated.
