6627787: CMS: JVM refuses to start up with -Xms16m -Xmx16m 7000125: CMS: Anti-monotone young gen sizing with respect to maximum whole heap size specification 7027529: CMS: retire CMSUseOldDefaults flag Simplify CMS heap sizing code, relying on ergonomic initial sizing consistent with other collectors for the most part, controlling only young gen sizing to rein in pause times. Make CMS young gen sizing default statically cpu-dependant. Remove inconsistencies wrt generation sizing and policy code, allowing for the fixing for 6627787 and 7000125. For 7027529, retire the flag CMSUseOldDefaults which had been introduced as a bridge from JDK 5 to JDK 6 a number of years ago. Reviewed-by: brutisso, poonam
README:
This file should be located at the top of the OpenJDK Mercurial root
repository. This root repository will include a "make" directory,
and a Makefile for building the entire OpenJDK.
A full OpenJDK repository set (forest) should also include the following
6 nested repositories:
"jdk", "hotspot", "langtools", "corba", "jaxws" and "jaxp".
There are also several source downloads for the jax* repositories that
will be needed.
This one root repository can be obtained with something like:
hg clone http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7 openjdk7
To make sure you have all the nested repositories, you can run:
cd openjdk7 && sh ./get_source.sh
(This is identical to using the Mercurial Forest Extension command
'hg fclone http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7 openjdk7').
People unfamiliar with Mercurial should read the first few chapters of
the Mercurial book: http://hgbook.red-bean.com/read/
See http://openjdk.java.net/ for more information about the OpenJDK.
Simple Build Instructions:
0. Get the necessary system software/packages installed on your system, see
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/build/raw-file/tip/README-builds.html
1. If you don't have a jdk6 installed, 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 JDK 6.
2. Check the sanity of doing a build with your current system:
gnumake sanity
See README-builds.html if you run into problems.
3. Do a complete build of the OpenJDK:
gnumake all
The resulting JDK image should be found in build/*/j2sdk-image
where gnumake is GNU make 3.81 or newer, /usr/bin/make on Linux and
/usr/sfw/bin/gmake or /opt/sfw/bin/gmake on Solaris.
