Hi all,

this patch fixes an issue with HotSpot's makefiles, IMPORT_JDK and jni_md.h.

The bug manifests itself when using an IMPORT_JDK which include/linux/jni_md.h has a timestamp that is older than hotspot/src/cpu/x86/jni_x86.h. When this happens, the Makefiles will copy hotspot/src/cpu/x86/jni_x86.h to hotspot/build/jdk-linux-amd64/fastdebug/include/linux/jni_md.h.

The issue is that hotspot/src/cpu/x86/jni_x86.h differs slightly from jdk/include/jni.h, since it is used for all operating systems:

#if defined(SOLARIS) || defined(LINUX) || defined(_ALLBSD_SOURCE) ... // common stuff #else ... // windows stuff #endif

We compile the SA agent, see make/linux/makefiles/saproc.make, without defining LINUX (LINUX is hotspot's own define, gcc uses linux).

In my opinion, there are two ways to solve this:

  1. Add -DLINUX to make/linux/makefiles/saproc.make (and corresponding defines for Solaris and BSD).
  2. Rewrite the #if check in jni_x86.h to use platform specific "native" defines.

I've created a patch for each alternative: 1: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~ehelin/8034094/webrev.1/ 2: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~ehelin/8034094/webrev.2/

For the second patch, note that I've inverted the #if check so that it checks for _WIN32 is defined and treat all others operating systems as "#else".

Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8034094

Testing:

Thanks, Erik
