> Hi all, 
> 
> This PR addresses [8334492](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8334492) enabling jcmd diagnostic commands that issue an output file to accept the `%p` pattern in the file name and substitute it for the PID. 
> 
> This PR addresses the following diagnostic commands: 
> - [x] Compiler.perfmap 
> - [x] GC.heap_dump
> - [x] System.dump_map
> - [x] Thread.dump_to_file
> - [x] VM.cds
> 
> Note that some jcmd diagnostic commands already enable this functionality (`JFR.configure, JFR.dump, JFR.start and JFR.stop`). 
> 
> I propose opening a separate issue to track updating the man page similarly to how it’s done for the JFR diagnostic commands. For example, 
> 
> 
> filename         (Optional) Name of the file to which the flight recording data is
>                    written when the recording is stopped. If no filename is given, a
>                    filename is generated from the PID and the current date and is
>                    placed in the directory where the process was started. The
>                    filename may also be a directory in which case, the filename is
>                    generated from the PID and the current date in the specified
>                    directory. (STRING, no default value)
> 
>                    Note: If a filename is given, '%p' in the filename will be
>                    replaced by the PID, and '%t' will be replaced by the time in
>                    'yyyy_MM_dd_HH_mm_ss' format.
> 
> 
> Unfortunately, per [8276265](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8276265), sources for the jcmd manpage remain in Oracle internal repos so this PR can’t address that. 
> 
> Testing: 
> 
> - [x] Added test case passes. 
> - [x] Modified existing VM.cds tests to also check for `%p` filenames. 
> 
> Looking forward to your comments and addressing any diagnostic commands I might have missed (if any).

> Cheers,
