Greetings, I have a fix for a recent (very rare) Thread-SMR related test failure.
Since the fix is related to the ErrorHandling tests and affects hs_err_pid file generation, this code review is being sent to both the Runtime and the Serviceability teams. Please make sure you reply-all to any responses so we have complete review threads on both aliases. Bug URL: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8205195 Webrev URL: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~dcubed/8205195-webrev/0-for-jdk-jdk/ The bug itself contains analysis about the root cause of the bug and the comment updates to the code describes the no win scenario that the hs_err_pid file generation code is in. Of course, I also have a comment where I was able to harden the ErrorHandling tests. I did manage to resist the urge to mention the "Kobiyashi Maru" [1] in the new comments. Testing: Mach5 builds-tier1,jdk-tier1,jdk-tier2,hs-tier1,hs-tier2,hs-tier3 on the usual Oracle platforms. Thanks, in advance, for any comments, questions or suggestions.
