Closed a timing hole during which concurrent full gc requests can be missed. The hole can increase the latency of the response to a full gc request by up to the value of CMSWaitDuration. If CMSWaitDuration=0 is, as currently, interpreted as an unbounded wait, suitable in certain tuning scenarios, the application can potentially hang. Made two obscure tunables, including CMSWaitDuration, manageable. Reviewed-by: jcoomes, tonyp
README:
This file should be located at the top of the OpenJDK Mercurial repository
forest. This top or enclosing repository will include a "make" directory,
and a Makefile at the very top of the repository.
It should also include the 6 repositories: "jdk", "hotspot", "langtools",
"corba", "jaxws" and "jaxp".
See http://openjdk.java.net/ for more information about the OpenJDK.
Simple Build Instructions:
1. Download and install a JDK 6 from
http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
Set the environment variable ALT_BOOTDIR to the location of this JDK 6.
2. Download and install the Binary Plugs for the most recent JDK7 from
http://download.java.net/openjdk/jdk7/
Set the environment variable ALT_BINARY_PLUGS_PATH to the location of
these binary plugs.
3. Check the sanity of doing a build with the current machine:
gnumake sanity
See README-builds.html if you run into problems.
4. Do a complete build of the jdk:
gnumake all
The resulting JDK image should be found in build/*/j2sdk-image
where gnumake is GNU make 3.78.1 or newer, /usr/bin/make on Linux and
/usr/sfw/bin/gmake or /opt/sfw/bin/gmake on Solaris.
