This is a bulk request for approval to backport several tools test
stabilization changes from JDK8 to 7u-dev. Original authors and
reviewers cc'ed.
These changes address several constant and persistent failures, on all
platforms, in the tools area. Specifically the jdk_tools target:
FAILED: sun/tools/jcmd/jcmd-big-script.sh
FAILED: sun/tools/jcmd/jcmd-pid.sh
FAILED: sun/tools/jinfo/Basic.sh
FAILED: sun/tools/jmap/Basic.sh
FAILED: sun/tools/jps/jps-Vvml_2.sh
FAILED: sun/tools/jps/jps-m_2.sh
FAILED: sun/tools/jstack/Basic.sh
All changes are in JDK8, and all changesets are identical, with one
minor exception as noted below.
7144833: sun/tools/jcmd/jcmd-Defaults.sh failing intermittently
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/tl/jdk/rev/59884f656b7d
*No update to the ProblemList.txt*. The jdk8 change removed two tests
from the ProblemList. One for a test excluded because of 7144833,
which is now fixed and was never on the ProblemList in 7u-dev. I will
do some testing and file a separate CR to remove the second test from
the ProblemList, if appropriate.
