The configure code in JDK 9+ has this:
JVM_HEAP_LIMIT_32="1024"
# Running a 64 bit JVM allows for and requires a bigger heap
JVM_HEAP_LIMIT_64="1600"
STACK_SIZE_32=768
STACK_SIZE_64=1536
JVM_HEAP_LIMIT_GLOBAL=`expr $MEMORY_SIZE / 2`
if test "$JVM_HEAP_LIMIT_GLOBAL" -lt "$JVM_HEAP_LIMIT_32"; then
JVM_HEAP_LIMIT_32=$JVM_HEAP_LIMIT_GLOBAL
fi
if test "$JVM_HEAP_LIMIT_GLOBAL" -lt "$JVM_HEAP_LIMIT_64"; then
JVM_HEAP_LIMIT_64=$JVM_HEAP_LIMIT_GLOBAL
fi
if test "$JVM_HEAP_LIMIT_GLOBAL" -lt "512"; then
JVM_HEAP_LIMIT_32=512
JVM_HEAP_LIMIT_64=512
fi
if test "x$BOOT_JDK_BITS" = "x32"; then
STACK_SIZE=$STACK_SIZE_32
JVM_MAX_HEAP=$JVM_HEAP_LIMIT_32
else
STACK_SIZE=$STACK_SIZE_64
JVM_MAX_HEAP=$JVM_HEAP_LIMIT_64
fi
Here's my reasoning:
If I read this right then -Xmx will be bound above by 1/2 the hardware
memory size. The set heap limit for that build was 1024M. It then
follows that 1024M was less than 1/2 the hardware memory. Yet, it still
failed to allocate required memory. So to answer your question: It
looks like it was that the system wasn't able to allocate that much
memory at the time.
Those builds run on systems I don't have access to, though. What's
more, I don't have access to the build logs of that failed build any
longer. From a successful s390 build with that patch I see:
$ grep 'Memory limit' build.log
* Memory limit: 5906 MB
This seems suspiciously high for 32 bit (or 31 bit in this case). Maybe
it gets the hardware memory size of the 64bit host system? We know this
runs in mock chroots on s390x boxes.
Thanks,
Severin
