All gc/lock/ tests do approximately the same thing. They verify that GC
is appropriately synchronized with certain class of functions.
- gc/lock/jni - uses JNI GetPrimitiveArrayCritical and GetStringCritical
- gc/lock/jniref - uses JNI NewGlobalRef, NewLocalRef, NewWeakGlobalRef
- gc/lock/malloc - uses malloc()
- gc/lock/jvmti - uses JVMTI Allocate
A number of threads is started. There are some threads that repeatedly
enter a critical section of code where functions describe above are
repeatedly called in a loop. There are also some threads that eat
memory in a loop. The idea here is to force GC to crash or deadlock.
