6651256: jstack: DeleteGlobalRef method call doesn't lead to descreasing of global refs count shown by jstack Summary: jni_DeleteGlobalRef does not really release the jni handle, instead, set the handle point to JNIHandles::_deleted_handle which holds an oop instance (java/lang/Object) in Java heap and never be GC'ed. When counting number of global reference, it counts all the handles on the chain list, which includes the already deleted ones. Reviewed-by: zgu, sla, coleenp Contributed-by: yumin.qi@oracle.com

OPENJDK ASSEMBLY EXCEPTION

The OpenJDK source code made available by Oracle at openjdk.java.net and
openjdk.dev.java.net ("OpenJDK Code") is distributed under the terms of the
GNU General Public License <http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html> version 2
only ("GPL2"), with the following clarification and special exception.

    Linking this OpenJDK Code statically or dynamically with other code
    is making a combined work based on this library.  Thus, the terms
    and conditions of GPL2 cover the whole combination.

    As a special exception, Oracle gives you permission to link this
    OpenJDK Code with certain code licensed by Oracle as indicated at
    http://openjdk.java.net/legal/exception-modules-2007-05-08.html
    ("Designated Exception Modules") to produce an executable,
    regardless of the license terms of the Designated Exception Modules,
    and to copy and distribute the resulting executable under GPL2,
    provided that the Designated Exception Modules continue to be
    governed by the licenses under which they were offered by Oracle.

As such, it allows licensees and sublicensees of Oracle's GPL2 OpenJDK Code to
build an executable that includes those portions of necessary code that Oracle
could not provide under GPL2 (or that Oracle has provided under GPL2 with the
Classpath exception).  If you modify or add to the OpenJDK code, that new
GPL2 code may still be combined with Designated Exception Modules if the
new code is made subject to this exception by its copyright holder.
