Summary:
JVM TI agents that instrument code in named modules need the Module at
class load time.
One way to do this is by introducing a new ClassFileLoadHook that
takes an additional parameter but this approach is disruptive.
The alternative option is a JVM TI function that maps a classloader +
package name to a module.
We were initially not confident with this approach so we introduced
it as JVM function JVM_GetModuleByPackageName.
Based on experience to date then this approach seems okay and so this
function needs to be promoted to a JVMTI function.
This fix is to introduce new JVMTI function GetModuleByPackageName.
It includes new jtreg test with native JVMTI agent.
A CCC is fast-tracked and getting an approval is in progress.
Testing:
Run newly developed jtreg test.
Thanks,
Serguei
