JBS: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8208648 webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~apetcher/8208648/webrev.00/
This changeset includes the enhancements to the finite field arithmetic library that are necessary for the new implementation of ECDSA and ECDH[1]. The actual ECDH and ECDSA changes will be reviewed separately. Please see the JBS tickets for more information about the changes, and here are some additional notes:
1) This change includes a code generator that produces finite field implementations. The generated code is included in the review, and it will be checked in to the repository with a comment indicating that it is generated and should not be modified directly. Another option is to put the code generator into the build process so the generated code does not need to be checked in, but it's not clear whether this is a better option. 2) Reviewing every line of the generated code is probably not necessary, and it is probably better to focus on the code generator itself (Fieldgen.jsh). Of course, it is probably a good idea to review the generated code for its structure and for opportunities for improvement.
