Current Status of OpenJDK 8 for mips64el

[Ao Qi]

Hi all,

Here is current status of Loongson OpenJDK 8 for mips64el [1][2]:

   - currently supporting the Template Table Interpreter and C2. C1 is not
supported yet and is under development.

   - passed JCK, jcstress and some other tests

   - updated to jdk8u172-b11, the latest released jdk8u

   - widely used in Loongson's products, especially server products

As far as I know, all of the contributors (companies or individuals) has
signed OCA. I know that jdk8u is a very old version. Is it possible to
upstream the code to the community?

Everybody who's interested is invited in building and testing the MIPS port.

Comments and suggestions are welcome!

Regards,
Ao Qi
