Please review the change that makes jcmd process name matching on Linux 
platform consistent with pre-existing behavior. 

On other platforms (and on Linux platform before changes [3]) the jcmd uses 
system property "sun.rt.javaCommand"  (see sun.jvmstat.monitor. 
MonitoredVmUtil.mainClass(MonitoredVm, boolean) that is called from 
sun.tools.common. ProcessArgumentMatcher at line 96) and treats the part before 
the first space as a main class when matching the process name. However, if the 
application  is started with -jar option this part contains the path to the jar 
file. If  -m or --module option is used this part contains the module name and 
the main class (if the main class was specified in the command line) in the 
format <modulename>/<mainclass>.  After changes [3] , on Linux platform the 
proc filesystem is used to find a Java process, however, it always matches the 
process name against the main class regardless what options were used to launch 
the application. This created discrepancies between old and new behavior on 
Linux platform as well as between behavior on Linux and other platforms. Th!
 e fix changes sun.tool.ProcessHelper (that was introduced in [3]) to correct 
these discrepancies.
