handling ## [JDK-8240687](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8240687):

JDK Flight Recorder Integrated to OpenJDK 8u OpenJDK 8u now contains the

backport of JEP 328: Flight Recorder (https://openjdk.org/jeps/328) from

later versions of OpenJDK. JFR is a low-overhead framework to collect and

provide data helpful to troubleshoot the performance of the OpenJDK runtime and

of Java applications. It consists of a new API to define custom events under the

jdk.jfr namespace and a JMX interface to interact with the framework. The

recording can also be initiated with the application startup using the

-XX:+FlightRecorder flag or via jcmd. JFR replaces the +XX:EnableTracing feature

introduced in JEP 167, providing a more efficient way to retrieve the same

information. For compatibility reasons, +XX:EnableTracing is still accepted,

however no data will be printed. While JFR is not built by default upstream, it

is included in Fedora binaries for supported architectures (x86_64, AArch64 &

PowerPC 64) ## [JDK-8205622](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8205622):

JFR Start Failure After AppCDS Archive Created with JFR StartFlightRecording

JFR will be disabled with a warning message if it is enabled during CDS dumping.

The user will see the following warning message: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM

warning: JFR will be disabled during CDS dumping if JFR is enabled during CDS

dumping such as in the following command line: $ java -Xshare:dump

-XX:StartFlightRecording=dumponexit=true ##

[JDK-8244167](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8244167): Removal of

Comodo Root CA Certificate The following expired Comodo root CA certificate was

removed from the `cacerts` keystore: + alias name "addtrustclass1ca [jdk]"

Distinguished Name: CN=AddTrust Class 1 CA Root, OU=AddTrust TTP Network,

O=AddTrust AB, C=SE ##

[JDK-8244166](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8244166): Removal of

DocuSign Root CA Certificate The following expired DocuSign root CA certificate

was removed from the `cacerts` keystore: + alias name "keynectisrootca [jdk]"

Distinguished Name: CN=KEYNECTIS ROOT CA, OU=ROOT, O=KEYNECTIS, C=FR ##

[JDK-8240191](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8240191): Allow SunPKCS11

initialization with NSS when external FIPS modules are present in the Security

Modules Database The SunPKCS11 security provider can now be initialized with

NSS when FIPS-enabled external modules are configured in the Security Modules

Database (NSSDB). Prior to this change, the SunPKCS11 provider would throw a

RuntimeException with the message: "FIPS flag set for non-internal module" when

such a library was configured for NSS in non-FIPS mode. This change allows the

JDK to work properly with recent NSS releases on GNU/Linux operating systems

when the system-wide FIPS policy is turned on. Further information can be found

in [JDK-8238555](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8238555).

- Add the -'4curve' suffix to the tarball name.

- Adjust JDK-8143245/PR3548 patch following context changes due to JDK-8203287 for JFR

- Adjust RH1648644 following context changes due to introduction of JFR packages

- Split JDK-8042159 patch into per-repo patches as upstream.

- Update JDK-8042159 JDK patch to apply after JDK-8238002 changes to Awt2dLibraries.gmk

- Enable JFR in our builds, ahead of upstream default.

- Only enable JFR for JIT builds, as it is not supported with Zero.

- Turn off JFR on x86 for now due to assert(SerializePageShiftCount == count) crash.

- Explicitly list jfr.jar, default.jfc & profile.jfc in the spec file.

- Introduce jfr_arches for architectures which support JFR.

- Fix typo in jfr_arches which leads to ppc64 being wrongly excluded.

- Add jfr binary to devel package and alternatives set

- With JDK-8248399 fixed, a broken jfr binary is no longer installed on architectures without JFR.
