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.

trims@1907 | 4 | The OpenJDK source code made available by Oracle at openjdk.java.net and |

duke@435 | 8 | |
duke@435 | 9 | Linking this OpenJDK Code statically or dynamically with other code |
duke@435 | 10 | is making a combined work based on this library. Thus, the terms |
duke@435 | 11 | and conditions of GPL2 cover the whole combination. |
duke@435 | 12 | |
trims@1907 | 13 | As a special exception, Oracle gives you permission to link this |
trims@1907 | 14 | OpenJDK Code with certain code licensed by Oracle as indicated at |
duke@435 | 15 | http://openjdk.java.net/legal/exception-modules-2007-05-08.html |
duke@435 | 16 | ("Designated Exception Modules") to produce an executable, |
duke@435 | 17 | regardless of the license terms of the Designated Exception Modules, |
duke@435 | 18 | and to copy and distribute the resulting executable under GPL2, |
duke@435 | 19 | provided that the Designated Exception Modules continue to be |
trims@1907 | 20 | governed by the licenses under which they were offered by Oracle. |
duke@435 | 21 | |
trims@1907 | 22 | As such, it allows licensees and sublicensees of Oracle's GPL2 OpenJDK Code to |

trims@1907 | 24 | could not provide under GPL2 (or that Oracle has provided under GPL2 with the |
duke@435 | 25 | Classpath exception). If you modify or add to the OpenJDK code, that new |
duke@435 | 26 | GPL2 code may still be combined with Designated Exception Modules if the |
duke@435 | 27 | new code is made subject to this exception by its copyright holder. |
