handling ## [JDK-8240687]( https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8240687):
JDK Flight Recorder Integrated to OpenJDK 8u OpenJDK 8u now contains the
backport of JEP 328: Flight Recorder ( https://openjdk.java.net/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.java.net/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.java.net/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.java.net/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.java.net/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.java.net/browse/JDK-8238555).

- 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.
- Require tzdata 2020a so system tzdata matches resource updates in b07
- Use sa_arches for libsaproc.so inclusion.
