> 8183503 was a clean backport for the library file we needed to update, `hotspot/test/runtime/testlibrary/ClassUnloadCommon.java`. `hotspot/test/runtime/logging/ClassLoadUnloadTest.java` does not exist in 8u (no Unified Logging from 8079408). The `hotspot/test/compiler/classUnloading/anonymousClass/TestAnonymousClassUnloading.java` change is essentially a reversion of the change from JDK-8132919: "Put compiler tests in packages" which creates a path from the fully qualified class name. We don't have this in 8u so, while we use the more flexible version from 8183503 that doesn't hardcode the class name, the code is essentially unchanged.

This is correct, but the bug is private for some reason.
