8055525: Bigapp weblogic+medrec fails to startup after JDK-8038423
Summary: If large pages are enabled and configured in Linux, the VM always pre-commits the entire space. The VM fails verification of the commit of the initial heap because some internal data structure marked all memory pages of the heap as committed during initialization. This makes the code think that we attempted a double-commit during first allocation of the heap. Remove the initial marking of memory pages of the heap to committed.

The HotSpot Serviceability Agent (SA) is a debugger for hotspot core dumps and hung processes. There is a read-only JDI (Java Debugger Interface) implementation on top of SA. This is part of JDK product and the classes are in $JDK/tools/sa-jdi.jar. In addition, there are few serviceability tools in $JDK/bin, namely, jstack (java stack trace tool), jmap (heap tool), jinfo (Java config tool) and jsadebugd. The classes for these are also in sa-jdi.jar file. sa-jdi.jar file is built along with hotspot (libjvm.so) on Solaris and Linux platforms. On Windows platform, SA-JDI is not included and serviceability tools do not use SA. Apart from these, HotSpot SA consists of a number of tools that are *not* included in JDK product bits. The sources and makefile for all-of-SA (including non-productized stuff) are under $HOTSPOT_WS/agent directory. The makefile $HOTSPOT/agent/make directory and shell scripts (and batch files) are used to build and run SA non-product tools. There is also documentation of SA under $HOTSPOT/agent/doc directory. To build complete SA, you need to have Rhino Mozilla jar (js.jar) version 1.5R5 under $HOTSPOT/agent/src/share/lib directory. Rhino is JavaScript interpreter written in Java. Rhino is used to implement SA features such as * SA command line debugger's JavaScript interface - refer to $HOTSPOT/agent/doc/clhsdb.html - refer to $HOTSPOT/agent/doc/jsdb.html * SA simple object query language (SOQL) - language to query Java heap. Rhino's "js.jar" is not included in hotspot source bundles. You need to download it from http://www.mozilla.org/rhino/download.html. Without js.jar, $HOTSPOT/agent/make/Makefile will fail to build. But, note that sa-jdi.jar containing the productized portions of SA will still be built when you build hotspot JVM.
