It defines a new jvm feature no-speculative-cti, which is used to control whether to use the flags for libjvm. It also defines a new jvm variant "altserver" which is the same as server, but with this new feature added. I think the classic name for such product configuration is "hardened", no? I don't know. I'm open to suggestions on naming. "hardened" sounds good to me. The change looks good as well. /Jesper /Erik -Aleksey
