I have now looked a bit more closely at the code. This is what I have
found so far that attracted my eye. Please note that this is not a
complete review. When you have a JEP and a test plan for how to verify
these changes and make sure you do not break existing platforms, you can
post a new RFR and I'll do a full review.
* In flags-cflags.m4: You don't have to set $1_CFLAGS_CPU_JVM="", an
empty value is default for unspecified variables.
* In flags-ldflags.m4: The stack size seems dependent on CPU_BITS, not
the CPU arch. Please break out the -stack argument setting. Also, have
you verified if -machine is really needed? The comment says that it's
probably not; if it's just an old, unnecessary, precaution, we should
probably remove it instead, to simplify the logic.
* In platform.m4: These changes worries me. Neither of them were
necessary for the linux-aarch64 port. But now you are changing the
values for all aarch64 builds, not just windows-aarch64. Have you
discovered a bug for linux-aarch64? Otherwise, these changes looks like
they are going to break linux-aarch64. If you believe you need to modify
these legacy values (which we'd rather move away from), please see if
you have made changes elsewhere that can be resolved without resorting
to adding new identifiers to the legacy values.
* In basic.m4: Please move BASIC_EVAL_BUILD_DEVKIT_VARIABLE to be
positioned next to BASIC_EVAL_DEVKIT_VARIABLE.
* In toolchain_windows.m4:
In TOOLCHAIN_CHECK_POSSIBLE_MSVC_DLL, if you know about the upcoming
changes to file, why don't you add both the old and the new pattern to
the test?
In TOOLCHAIN_SETUP_MSVC_DLL, when it was just two instances, the code
duplication could be accepted, but with three instances you need to
generalize this and refactor out the changing platform part of the path
only to the if statement. This applies, with some variation, to all four
changed places.
In the new TOOLCHAIN_SETUP_VISUAL_STUDIO_SYSROOT_FLAGS, you are doing
AC_SUBST($1SYSROOT_CFLAGS)
AC_SUBST($1SYSROOT_LDFLAGS)
However, that seems superfluous, since it is already done by
FLAGS_SETUP_SYSROOT_FLAGS in flags.m4. In fact, now that I checked this,
I spotted that we *already* do an unnecessary AC_SUBST in
FLAGS_POST_TOOLCHAIN for the build sysroot flags! :-o
* In GensrcMisc,gmk: You are changing this for all users of the
microsoft toolchain. I don't recall seeing any problems with this on
x64. What version of Visual Studio are you using? Is this a limitation
in the aarch64 version of CL.EXE, or does it apply to other platforms as
well? Finally, if we do need to keep it, please use "-" as prefix for
options (even though the microsoft tooling normally suggests the
non-standard "/" -- this can all too easily be confused with path names.)
* In GensrcAdlc.gmk: You are adding -D_WIN64=1 for all 64-bit platforms,
i.e. also for x64, which has apparently worked fine until now without
that define. What does the define do, and what is the rationale for not
only adding it on your platform?
* In jib-profiles.js: I appreciate the effort, but this file is
basically just for Oracle-internal usage. If and when we will add
support for building on windows-aarch64, we can update the file to work
properly with the JIB tool.
I am impressed that you manage to get cross-compilation working for
Windows with that small amount of changes, though! If you had asked med
beforehand, I'd have guessed that it would require more substantial
changes. As you say, this is not something we have done before.

Hi Magnus,
Happy to answer any question you have on the build system changes.
A lot of the changes were due to the build system not supporting
cross-compilation well when targetting the microsoft toolchain (it just never
really had to support it). We had to go through a few hoops to remove as many
of our own quick hacks, initially there just to get things building - like
hardcoding the target being windows-aarch64 for example.
Thank you for your review,

Ludovic

Hi Monica,
All build system changes must be sent to build-dev for review by the
build team, and you are doing quite a lot of build changes. (I'm cc:ing
build-dev now.)
I did a quick scan and found some changes that looked odd enough to draw
my attention.
I will need some time to fully understand what you are trying to
accomplish here, before I can give a full review.

Hello OpenJDK community,
As the project lead here @Microsoft, I am pleased to share that we have been
working towards a Windows addition to the OpenJDK AArch64 port. We are very
thankful to all that have contributed to the Linux+aarch64 and Windows+x86-64.
Both these codebases came to our rescue on numerous occasions.
Support status: We have successfully ported C2 and can build the server release
(cross-compiled environment)
Test coverage: C2 + ParallelGC (No AOT, JVMCI, ZGC, ShenandoahGC, G1GC)
Tests and benchmarks covered [1]: JTReg [2], JCStress, jmh-jdk-microbenchmarks,
SPEC SERT, SPECJBB2015 [3], SPEC JVM2008, Scimark2, SPEC JBB2005.

The first patch `Webrev P1` (patch 1 aka P1 in our tests) helps integrate
support for Windows (LLP64) on Linux + AArch64
The second patch `Webrev P2` (patch 2 aka P2 in our tests) adds the
'windows-aarch64' support in `os_cpu`. We also had to modify shared code, and I
am highlighting a few details here:
* In windows_x86 such as the `get_frame_at_stack_banging_point` in
`os_windows_x86.cpp`,
* In `os/windows os_windows.cpp` to make it aware of Windows + Arm64
* `os/windows` in `threadCritical_windows.cpp`,
* Windbg support
* `globalDefinitions_visCPP.hpp` in `share/utilities`
* We also added Vectored Exception Handling (VEH) to P2, as it is a
requirement on Windows + Arm64 (due to ABI specifications).
Also, in `Webrev P2`, you will find that we have made some significant changes
to `cpu/aarch64` around register usage since on Windows + Arm64, register R18
points to TEB [4]. We have discussed this with Andrew Haley and Andrew Dinn,
and they are helping us with a cleaner implementation of the same. Their
constant support and guidance have humbled me.
I'd also like to recognize the great work done by Ludovic Henry (our resident
runtime expert) in driving the C2 support and by Bernhard Urban-Forster, (who
recently joined our team) in helping expand the coverage to G1 GC.
As a part of this project, we have also worked on two additional patches:
* Expanding VEH on Windows to x86-64 (patch 3 aka P3 in our tests). Details here:

* Improvements in the shared cross-platform code on Windows (patch 4 aka
P4 in our tests) - We will send out a separate patch soon.
We welcome any feedback and comments from the community and are looking forward
to working together.
Regards,
Monica
