     No comments.

src/share/vm/trace/tracetypes.xml
     line 277: type="TraceUnicodeString*" sizeop="sizeof_unicode(%)"/>

         The pointer type above and below this one have a space
         between the type name and the '*'. Any particular reason
         for the difference?

src/share/vm/trace/xinclude.mod
     This one threw me for a second when I was just looking at the
     patch. In the frames version, it is clear that you're removing
     an extra copyright block...

Thumbs up!
