Hi folks, I'd like to backport this change to 8u-dev.
The changes are straightforward enough but 8u needs some changes that were made to InnocuousThread. (strictly it doesn't need all of the changes I've made but I've made an effort to make the code look as close to 9 as possible) bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8156824 9u changeset: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/jdk9/jdk/rev/22e704dfa05c 8u webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~robm/8156824/webrev.01/ -Rob
