May be we start from failed test exclusion to run CC over these tests and
will enable these tests one by one? Now, the CC is useless for drlvm due to
"known" stable failures.

Thanks, Vladimir

Apparently there are some threading issues, which affect almost all
suites (except may be smoke tests). I observe quite many sporadic
crashes in c-unit, kernel and classlib tests. For example, the
following assert fails often:
drlvm/vm/thread/src/thread_native_suspend.c:351:
hythread_set_safepoint_callback: Assertion `status == (0)' failed.
Another incomprehensible error is described in HARMONY-1614.
These defects most probably point to races in TM or VM internals, and
are hard enough to insulate and root-cause.

Aside from that, there are "known" stable failures, like kernel
ThreadTest and ClassLoaderTest, or classlib's
org.apache.harmony.archive.tests.java.util.jar.JarOutputStreamTest and
org.apache.harmony.luni.tests.java.lang.ThreadGroupTest. These are
good candidates to fix first - especially Thread related - maybe this
would help to get closer to more subtle defects.
