A couple of tests e.g. VendorInfoPluginsTest but also some Hotspot like runtime/ErrorHandling/CreateCoredumpOnCrash.java put (write) to special addresses like 0 to provoke crashs. However this does not work well with ubsan-enabled binaries on the clang based platforms (macOS, AIX). The mentioned tests generate a SIGSEGV.
Some other tests generate a SIGBUS, e.g. runtime/memory/ReserveMemory.java runtime/memory/ReadFromNoaccessArea.java and this leads to similar issues with ubsan-enabled binaries. We should adjust the signal handling with the sanitizer options, how to do this is documented here : https://github.com/google/sanitizers/wiki/SanitizerCommonFlags ------------- Commit messages: - JDK-8360791 Changes: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/26015/files Webrev: https://webrevs.openjdk.org/?repo=jdk&pr=26015&range=00 Issue: https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8360791 Stats: 6 lines in 1 file changed: 5 ins; 0 del; 1 mod Patch: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/26015.diff Fetch: git fetch https://git.openjdk.org/jdk.git pull/26015/head:pull/26015 PR: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/26015
