8059758: Footprint regressions with JDK-8038423
Summary: Changes in JDK-8038423 always initialize (zero out) virtual memory used for auxiliary data structures. This causes a footprint regression for G1 in startup benchmarks. This is because they do not touch that memory at all, so the operating system does not actually commit these pages. The fix is to, if the initialization value of the data structures matches the default value of just committed memory (=0), do not do anything.

| 25 After making any changes to libproc.so, the shell scripts described | |
| 26 below can be run to verify that it does not break Java Serviceability | |
| 27 Agent. | |
| 28 | |
| 29 Setup: | |
| 30 | |
| 31 You need to have jdk 1.5 installed to run this test. Set environment | |
| 32 variable SA_JAVA to point to the java executable of jdk | |
| 33 1.5. Otherwise, the script picks-up 'java' from PATH. | |
| 34 | |
| 35 Running the tests: | |
| 36 | |
| 37 run libproctest.sh (32-bit debuggee) and libproctest64.sh (64-bit | |
| 38 debuggee) | |
| 39 | |
| 40 Interpreting result: | |
| 41 | |
| 42 "PASSED" or "FAILED" is printed in standard output. |
