The backport CSR is [JDK-8320375](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8320375). A follow-up bugfix backport of [JDK-8313081](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8313081) will be done following this backport. The combined backports have been in production at Amazon for two months with no issues. The backport uses the reserved1 slot in jmm.h in order to preserve binary compatibility with 8u. Per current policy, there is no update to JMM_VERSION in jmm.h and the new method is marked

SMR doesn't exist in 8u, so jmm_GetTotalThreadAllocated bytes attempts to lock Threads_lock instead, and if the Threads_lock is already locked, the previous return value is returned. HotSpotThreadImpl.java doesn't exist in 8u, so the hunk associated with it is dropped.

@gun-andrew, @jerboaa suggested the same and I'm fine with 8u422.

I've created an 8u backport issue [JDK-8326086](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8326086). It can use the same CSR as used for 11u and 17u. How do I link a backport JBS issue to a CSR without creating a new one?
