Previously, I used a shell script to extract modification date ranges
from the Git history, but that was complicated and unreliable, so now
every file just gets the same year range in its copyright header. If
someone needs to know when a specific file was modified and by whom,
they can look at the Git history themselves; no need to include it
redundantly in the header.
This mainly moves several sun.misc.Unsafe method implementations from
classpath-openjdk.cpp to builtin.cpp so that the Avian and Android
builds can use them.
It also replaces FinalizerReference.finalizeAllEnqueued with a no-op,
since the real implementations assumes too much about how the VM
handles (or delegates) finalization.
The OpenJDK library wants to track and run the shutdown hooks itself
rather than let the VM do it, so we need to tell it when we're
exiting.
Also, in machine.cpp we need to use only the modifiers specified in
the InnerClasses attribute for inner classes rather than OR them with
the flags given at the top level of the class file.
Timezone code was broken in the Android class library bootimage build
because the code we use to intercept loading the tzdata file wasn't
working. The reason is have no way of intercepting static methods at
runtime in the bootimage build without telling the bootimage-generator
we're going to do it ahead of time. So now we do tell it so.
This commit also removes the need to intercept Thread methods since we
can update Thread.vmThread in VMThread.create instead.
Objects which are eligable for finalization must be retained until
after their finalize methods are called. However, the VM must
determine the entire set of such objects before retaining any of them;
otherwise the process of retaining a given object may cause others to
become reachable and thus be considered ineligible for finalization
even though they are only reachable via other finalizable objects.
The end result of this mistake is that only a few of the objects which
are finalizable will be recognized at each GC cycle, so it requires
many such cycles to find them all, and if new objects become
finalizable at a faster rate, the VM will never catch up and
eventually run out of memory.
This patch fixes the above mistake and also includes tuning to
minimize the need for GC in low memory situations.
In the OpenJDK library, ThreadGroup maintains an array of all Threads
in that group, so the VM must explicitly remove threads as they exit
or else neither they nor any objects they reference will be eligable
for GC.
This is necessary to avoid name conflicts on various platforms. For
example, iOS has its own util.h, and Windows has a process.h. By
including our version as e.g. "avian/util.h", we avoid confusion with
the system version.
