Hi all,

In modern Linux e.g. Fedora 25, executables are built as DSO for security [1]. java command in OpenJDK which is provided by distribution is also DSO. However, SA does not work with DSO executables.

I uploaded a webrev:

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~ysuenaga/JDK-8173941/webrev.01/

I discussed about this issue with Andrew in mail thread [2], and this webrev has been reviewed by him. We need one or more reviewer. Could you review it?

Currently, OpenJDK 8 in Fedora 25 is built as DSO. So I want to contribute this patch to JDK 8 or later release.

I cannot access JPRT. So I need a sponsor.

Thanks,

Yasumasa
