You should include core-libs-dev (and perhaps hotspot-runtime-dev) in
this thread. You're changing core library code.

Hi,
Please review the code changes for
"https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8130425";.
Problem summary: When a large TLS (Thread Local Storage) size is set for
threads, JVM is throwing StackOverflow exception.
Problem Identified:
As per investigation and a discussion we came to the conclusion that issue
is not with the JVM but it lies in the way glibc has been implemented. When
a TLS is declared , it steals the space from threads stack size.
So if a thread is created with small stack size, and TLS is set to a large
value, then it will result in StackOverflow. This is the exact case in this
bug where reaper thread is allocated a very low stack size 32768.
Discussion thread:
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/core-libs-dev/2015-December/037558.html
Solution proposed:
Its expected to get fix in glibc sometime , but for now I propose a
workaround, a boolean system property "processReaperUseDefaultStackSize"
using which we can set the stack size for reaper thread to default
instead of fix 32768. This property can be set by the user using "-D" or
"System.setProperty()". I have tested this fix, it works well with TLS size
between 32k to 128k.
Fix:
