RISCV port for JDK11u

[yangfei at iscas.ac.cn]

Hello,




Let's discuss the 11u version first. I didn't realize such a risk either. This was not mentioned in our previous discussion on the list [1]. 

I agree it's a good idea and safer to get maintainer's opinions before we go. Except for the difference in lifecycle, 11u will also differs

with 17u in some ways like support for scalable vector register which is used for supporting RISC-V RVV extension. 




Regarding 8u version of the backport, AFAIK, that work has been suspended for some reasons (lacking of resource, etc.). 

BTW: Let me know if someone else is interested in doing the 8u version of the backport. 




Regards,

Felix

Personally, I suspect that JDK 11u is in maintenance mode and this
backport would be rejected with 99% probability. Before you invest
heavily in this work, please get the explicit pre-commitment from
current JDK 11u maintainers.

See the Maintainer list here:

+1. Please discuss your plans concerning 11 and 8 on jdk-updates-dev at openjdk.org and jdk8u-dev at openjdk.org.


Thanks!


Thomas
