------------------------------------------

FYI: unfortunately Oracle Application Server's startup is not OK with the JNI-tls-1.patch. It hangs up, quote:

07/09/02 10:26:42 Start process
--------
GC use large pages.
WARNING: Cannot cleanup application URLStreamHandlers.

> For now, JNI transition uses ineffective scheme of TLS getting - it is done via several recursive calls, finally reaching hythread_self().
> The idea is to inline helper for TLS get instead of calling get_thread_ptr_stub(). Disassembly shows that 10 push/pops and 3 calls are completely eliminated there, keeping in mind that TLS get occurs at least 3 times on each JNI transition this give us a huge boost, eliminating up to 30 push/pops and 9 calls.
> JNI microtest (calling several millions of empty JNI methods) testifies this:
> $ ../../Builds/Harmony-clean/bin/java -cp . -Xmx128m -Xms128m nalog.nalog
> iteration: 0  millis:8763
> iteration: 1  millis:8722
> iteration: 2  millis:8833
> $ ../../Builds/Harmony-fastTLS-1/bin/java -cp . -Xmx128m -Xms128m nalog.nalog
> iteration: 0  millis:6780
> iteration: 1  millis:6689
