I removed perf counters for fast refill, and renamed perf counters

I am not all clear what implication of renaming/removing exported

I
think could be affected, showed no problem.

Will need to check how perfcounters may be accessed before removing
them. I don't know if external tools may access them as jvmstat does.
Yep, but It is hard to find out. I can not image this is the first one,
how we dealt with before?

Removing "_reserve_for_allocation_prefetch" breaks JDK8 tools, how it
was communicated?

I don't know what you are referring to. _reserve_for_allocation_prefetch was moved in 9 from Abstract_VM_Version to ThreadLocalAllocBuffer.

http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/jdk9/hotspot/rev/6525e4ba82a1

It still exists there. And it is a plain int not a perf counter/variable.

That aside we have in threadLocalAllocBuffer.cpp:

320 return PerfDataManager::create_variable(SUN_GC, PerfDataManager::counter_name("tlab", name), unit, THREAD);

So these are in the SUN_GC namespace and anything in the sun namespace is unstable and unsupported:

hotspot/share/runtime/perfData.cpp

const char* PerfDataManager::_name_spaces[] = {
  // top level name spaces
  "java",                   // stable and supported name space
  "com.sun",                // unstable but supported name space
  "sun",                    // unstable and unsupported name space

So this should be okay.

Thanks,
David
