Here are some comments for the test changes:

<test/sun/security/pkcs11/KeyPairGenerator/TestDH2048.java>
- Not testing key size 768?
- line 82, would be useful to indicate version here, e.g. NSS (as of 
version xxx) has a hard coded ...
- line 27, 4096 should be 8192?

<test/sun/security/provider/DSA/TestAlgParameterGenerator.java>
- format changes only? No test for (3072, 256)?

<test/com/sun/crypto/provider/KeyAgreement/UnsupportedDHKeys.java>
- line 50, dhp8192(8191) looks like a typo?
- line 66, do we really need to generate the key pair here?
- line 71, seem redundant and potentially confusing as it's aligned 
differently comparing to line70?

<test/sun/security/pkcs11/KeyAgreement/SupportedDHKeys.java>
- line 63, why test for KeyAgreement here instead of KeyPairGenerator?

<test/sun/security/pkcs11/KeyAgreement/UnsupportedDHKeys.java>
- line 53, dhp8192(8191) looks like a typo?
- line 64, why test for KeyAgreement here instead of KeyPairGenerator?
- line 75, do we really need to generate the key pair here?
- line 80, seem redundant and potentially confusing as it's aligned 
differently comparing to line79?

<test/sun/security/provider/DSA/SupportedDSAParaGen.java>
- Use "Param" instead of "Para" in the test name "SupportedDSAParaGen"?
- Just curious, have u tried the specified timeout value across 
different platforms?
- The file is new but the copyright year starts from 2012?

As for the updated sources, all changes look fine. But while I was 
looking at 
src/java.base/share/classes/sun/security/ssl/ServerHandshaker.java, I 
have some more questions:
- line 145, do we need to check for upper limit here? It used to have 
2048, should it be 8192 now? If yes, then line 1526 need to be enhanced too.
- line 1551, now that more DH sizes are supported, shouldn't we make 
some changes here? Now it's either 1024 or 2048. The older impl on line 
1550 uses 1024 as the lower limit and 2048 as the upper limit and will 
keep the value as is if it's in-between the limits. If there is a reason 
to keep 2048 as the upper limit, it'd be useful to add some comment here 
for clarification.

Thanks,
Valerie
