- Completely turn off parallel build by default and remove parallel build
hack for HotSpot. There were several reports that it fails to build under
certain environment, ports/162991 for example. Users can still do parallel
build by setting FORCE_MAKE_JOBS (and MAKE_JOBS_NUMBER if desired).
- Implement os::available_memory(). Now it is consistent with "vm.vmtotal"
sysctl(3) MIB rather than bogus (physical memory / 4).
- Prefer sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_CONF) over HW_NCPU sysctl MIB to get the
number of installed processors. There is no functional difference except
for CURRENT, which obtains the information from ELF aux vector.
- Prefer sysconf(_SC_PHYS_PAGES) * sysconf(_SC_PAGESIZE) over HW_USERMEM
sysctl MIB to get size of physical memory. Although it looks more logical
to find currently available memory, it has an inevitable side-effect, i. e.,
it changes dynamically depending on current wired page count. Therefore,
it is unpredictable and not too useful some times. For example, launcher
uses the parameter to determine initial heap size and machine class for i386.
Now it is more consistent with other places (and Linux JDK/JREs, including
the ones we have in ports tree).
- Implement os::active_processor_count() using cpuset_getaffinity(2). For
example, Runtime.getRuntime().availableProcessors() now returns number of
available processors for the current process as it should.
- Sync. launchers (java_md.c) for HotSpot and JDK as much as possible for
maintainability. As a good side-effect, launcher for i386 can now determine
machine class based on the current hardware configuration. Previously,
client VM was always chosen by default.
- Fix CounterGet(), which is only used for debugging launcher.
- Add swap info for os::print_memory_info().

result turn it on by default again. This change bears a little more
explanation.
In UnixFileSystem.java there is a cache of canonical paths and in
particular one for paths inside java.home. The problem with looking
up time zone data is that if another path within java.home has been
looked up then the symlink for the time zone data is not resolved
(since the cache assumes there are no symlinks in java.home) and we fail
to be able to open the ZoneInfoMapping file.
One of the other features in UnixFileSystem is that the cache is not
consulted and full resolution occurs for paths containing "." or "..".
I've chosen to (ab)use this to force resolution of the time zone data
directory in ZoneInfoFile.java rather than doing something like IcedTea
did which was to introduce a tz.properties file where they would stash
the time zone info directory rather than symlinking it in. For full
reference that patch is here:
http://icedtea.classpath.org/hg/icedtea6/file/tip/patches/use-system-tzdata.patch
There are two main reasons I chose a bit of a hack rather than something
like this.
1. I want to apply the patch to non-GPL'ed code (e.g. the jdk16 port).
2. Using updated time zone data is only an option in the port and using
something like tz.properties when the option is off is clunky.
Thanks to avg@ for sleuth work on finding the bug write up and the
IcedTea fix.

- Remove obsolete WEB option. Note the functionality is now moved to a new
port java/icedtea-web, which depends on ICEDTEA option of this port.

For example, jconsole shows more realistic numbers instead of hardcoded bogus
numbers in VM Summary tab now. Correct a jtreg test case for the swap info.
- Mention procfs(5) is used for some features in this implementation.
- Improve Serviceability Agent. For example, the following should work now:
jdb -connect sun.jvm.hotspot.jdi.SAPIDAttachingConnector:pid=<PID>
jmap <PID>
jsadebugd <PID>
jstack -F <PID>
jstack -m <PID>
- Replace IcedTea6 1.9.x with IcedTea-Web 1.0 for web support. Note it is
still tightly coupled with openjdk6 for now because we do not have proper
infrastructure to decouple them yet.
- Add itweb-settings (a Java Control Panel replacement for IcedTea-Web).
- Add desktop integration files for web support (but not installed in default
system-wide locations).
process. Update comments in the patch accordingly.
- Tidy up makefile for the plugin. Remove a hack for include path of libxul,
which is correctly patched from libxul 1.9.2.9_1. Remove mozilla-plugin.pc from
linker options for pkg-config. Generally speaking, NPAPI plugins do not need
to link with Gecko engine directly.
- Move run-time dependencies for the plugin to build-time dependencies as it is
completely optional any way.
Note the feature is turned off by default because it adds experimental and
unofficial patches from icedtea.classpath.org. You need to select WEB option
from config menu or define WITH_WEB variable to enable the feature. Also,
note that a symlink for web browser is not created automatically with same
reasoning. Thus, you need to create a symlink for your browser, e.g.,
ln -s ${LOCALBASE}/openjdk6/jre/lib/IcedTeadPlugin.so ~/.mozilla/plugins
