This test is failing on machines with lots of CPUs since we create lots of compiler threads and there are 4 perf counters for each compiler thread. This eats memory.
A simple solution is to just bump the default for PerfDataMemorySize from 32K to 64K - "that should be enough for everyone.” Thanks, /Staffan bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8122944 diff --git a/src/share/vm/runtime/globals.hpp b/src/share/vm/runtime/globals.hpp --- a/src/share/vm/runtime/globals.hpp +++ b/src/share/vm/runtime/globals.hpp @@ -3733,7 +3733,7 @@ product(bool, PerfDisableSharedMem, false, \ "Store performance data in standard memory") \ \ - product(intx, PerfDataMemorySize, 32*K, \ + product(intx, PerfDataMemorySize, 64*K, \ "Size of performance data memory region.
