Please review the change [1] that ensures that VM and test options are forwarded to j*-tools when they are launched from serviceability/sa tests.
The tests that expect an empty output were corrected to ignore the product version printed in the error stream since in some tiers the tests are run with ' -showversion' VM option (tier3). In test serviceability/sa/TestSysProps.java the code that counts the system properties was corrected to ignore the debug output when the test is run with " -Xlog:cds=debug" option (tier4). Testing: Mach5 tests for tier1 - tier7 passed. I also run the test with -XComp at Mach5 linux-x64-debug builds before and after the changes and for the most of the tests the overhead is about 2 times although for serviceability/sa/sadebugd/SADebugDTest.java it spikes up to 5 times. Probably at least for some tests it makes to filter out some properties (e.g. -Xcomp) before forwarding them to j*-tools. serviceability/sa/sadebugd/SADebugDTest.java, before : 2m 23s , after:11m 07s serviceability/sa/sadebugd/TestJmapCore.java, before : 42s , after:1m 09s serviceability/sa/TestSysProps.java, before : 36s , after: 1m 27s [1] http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~dtitov/8242009/webrev.01 [2] https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8242009 Thank you, Daniil
