I have a few tier1 test failures to review before I am happy with the PR. All test/jdk/jdk/jfr test are passing, so it's possible that some of the failures are unrelated. Are there any files that have not yet been mentioned which will need to be changed? ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/6885
