Hi Igor,
Thank you for doing that long-awaited change!
The fix looks good, but I have a few minor questions/comments:
1) Have you moved all the tests which are currently @ignored to the
problem list or some of them intentionally left @ignored?
2) Copyrights
# Copyright (c) 2009, 2016, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.
-->
# Copyright (c) 2016, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.
3) Would you consider correction in wording:
# List of quarantined tests -- tests that should not be run by default, because
# they introduce noise in test results.
-->
# List of problematic tests -- tests that should not be run by default, because
# they may fail due to known reason. The reason (CR#) must be mandatory specified.
4) Would you consider to use the same formatting as jdk does:
compiler/codecache/stress/OverloadCompileQueueTest.java 8166554 generic-all
compiler/compilercontrol/jcmd/ClearDirectivesFileStackTest.java 8140405 generic-all

ProblemList gives a possibility to remove a test from execution on a specific OS, arch, and since the expectation is to have more quarantined tests than excluded, it was decided to use ProblemList to quarantine and @ignore to exclude, another reason is to have consistent process for hotspot and jdk tests.
