The main changes in this commit ensure that we don't hold the global
class lock when doing class resolution using application-defined
classloaders. Such classloaders may do their own locking (in fact,
it's almost certain), making deadlock likely when mixed with VM-level
locking in various orders.
Other changes include a fix to avoid overflow when waiting for
extremely long intervals and a GC root stack mapping bug.
The biggest change in this commit is to split the system classloader
into two: one for boot classes (e.g. java.lang.*) and another for
application classes. This is necessary to make OpenJDK's security
checks happy.
The rest of the changes include bugfixes and additional JVM method
implementations in classpath-openjdk.cpp.
Whereas the GNU Classpath port used the strategy of patching Classpath
with core classes from Avian so as to minimize changes to the VM, this
port uses the opposite strategy: abstract and isolate
classpath-specific features in the VM similar to how we abstract away
platform-specific features in system.h. This allows us to use an
unmodified copy of OpenJDK's class library, including its core classes
and augmented by a few VM-specific classes in the "avian" package.
