I intend to do a full linux/arm jtreg

to 300 MHz. Sounds like I should test
the default and samevm mode.
I'll start with a jdk7 embedded image
to get a baseline.
The timeouts in the tests you mentioned are particularly small, I guess
this is where the issue of reliability is coming from, right? If these
timeouts (in some cases) are just catch all for bugs that used to
deadlock, but no longer do (since they are now fixed). Would it make
sense to just increase these timeouts in the tests themselves?

It's not currently possible to specify the top level test directory and
run all tests in samevm or agentvm mode. I don't think it's possible to
run the AWT tests in samevm mode for example. If you look at
jdk/test/Makefile then you'll see which areas can run in agentvm (or
samevm) mode. It's something that I was chatting with Jon about recently
and he pointed me to a patch from Mark Wielaard [1] that whitelists
directories of tests that can run in samevm mode. I think Jon is hoping
to integrate this, maybe extending it to work with the newer agent vm mode.
