Chris Hennick has updated the pull request with a new target base due to a 
merge or a rebase. The pull request now contains five commits:

 - Merge branch 'openjdk:master' into patch-2
 - Bug fix: add-exports was for wrong package
 - Tweak boundary cases and add unit test
 - Bug fix: Math is in java.lang, not java.util
 - Fix a possible rounding error in RandomSupport::computeNextExponential
   
   This provides a slightly more accurate bounding limit for 
computeNextExponentialSoftCapped when the computed bound is greater than 
`(1.0p53 - 1.0) * DoubleZigguratTables.exponentialX0`.
