Hi Daniil,

Thanks for the additional testing.

Why linux only?

Also wondering how long this will take to run? We need to be mindful of 
impact on tier testing. AFAICS this will run in tier3, tier4-graal and 
tier8-Xcomp - and it's the last one we may need to watch for time.

Thanks,
David

But we cannot remove these lines and just return the latest part[i] that was not filtered out as the mainClass since it will not work in the case when the command line includes arguments specified after the main class.  In the approach we use the main class is the *first* part[i] (with i > 0) that is not a Java option ( part[i] that doesn't start with '-' and is not classpath, module path, jar file path or module name).  This condition that the mainClass is not null is checked on line 89 inside for loop.

Additional tracing showed that when jcmd is invoked with the main class name it iterates over all running Java processes and temporary attaches to them to retrieve the main class name. It hangs while trying to attach to one of the running Java processes. There are numerous Java processes running at the host machine some associated with the test framework itself and another with the tests running in parallel. It is not clear what exact is this particular process since the jcmd hangs before retrieving the process' main class name, but after all tests terminated the process with this id is no longer running.  I have to revoke this review since more investigation is required.

The fix for JDK-8166642 made serviceability/dcmd/framework/* tests non-concurrent to ensure that they don't interact with each other and there are no multiple tests running simultaneously since all they do share the common main class name com.sun.javatest.regtest.agent.MainWrapper. However, it looks like the  tests from other directories still might run in parallel with these tests and they also have com.sun.javatest.regtest.agent.MainWrapper as a main class.
