RFR 8205654: serviceability/dcmd/framework/HelpTest.java timed out

[David Holmes]

Thanks for the update Daniil. I still remain concerned about the 
robustness of the command-line parsing - this seems like a feature that 
needs its own set of tests.

I'll leave it up to Serguei and others as to how to proceed.

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.
