Notes on individual issues:

===========================

core-svc/java.lang.management:

JDK-8236876: OperatingSystemMXBean Methods Inside a Container Return Container Specific Data

============================================================================================

When executing in a container, or other virtualized operating

environment, the following `OperatingSystemMXBean` methods in this

release return container specific information, if

available. Otherwise, they return host specific data:

* getFreePhysicalMemorySize()

* getTotalPhysicalMemorySize()

* getFreeSwapSpaceSize()

* getTotalSwapSpaceSize()

* getSystemCpuLoad()

security-libs/java.security:

JDK-8250756: Added Entrust Root Certification Authority - G4 certificate

========================================================================

The Entrust root certificate has been added to the cacerts truststore:

Alias Name: entrustrootcag4

Distinguished Name: CN=Entrust Root Certification Authority - G4, OU="(c) 2015 Entrust,  Inc. - for authorized use only", OU=See www.entrust.net/legal-terms, O="Entrust, Inc.", C=US

JDK-8250860: Added 3 SSL Corporation Root CA Certificates

=========================================================

The following root certificates have been added to the cacerts truststore for the SSL Corporation:

Alias Name: sslrootrsaca

Distinguished Name: CN=SSL.com Root Certification Authority RSA, O=SSL Corporation, L=Houston, ST=Texas, C=US

Alias Name: sslrootevrsaca

Distinguished Name: CN=SSL.com EV Root Certification Authority RSA R2, O=SSL Corporation, L=Houston, ST=Texas, C=US

Alias Name: sslrooteccca

Distinguished Name: CN=SSL.com Root Certification Authority ECC, O=SSL Corporation, L=Houston, ST=Texas, C=US

security-libs/javax.crypto:pkcs11:

JDK-8221441: SunPKCS11 Provider Upgraded with Support for PKCS#11 v2.40

=======================================================================

The SunPKCS11 provider has been updated with support for PKCS#11

v2.40. This version adds support for more algorithms such as the

AES/GCM/NoPadding cipher, DSA signatures using SHA-2 family of message

digests, and RSASSA-PSS signatures when the corresponding PKCS11

mechanisms are supported by the underlying PKCS11 library.

security-libs/javax.security:

JDK-8242059: Support for canonicalize in krb5.conf

==================================================

The 'canonicalize' flag in the [krb5.conf file][0] is now supported by

the JDK Kerberos implementation. When set to *true*, RFC 6806 [1] name

canonicalization is requested by clients in TGT requests to KDC

services (AS protocol). Otherwise, and by default, it is not

requested.

The new default behavior is different from previous releases where

name canonicalization was always requested by clients in TGT requests

to KDC services (provided that support for RFC 6806[1] was not

explicitly disabled with the *sun.security.krb5.disableReferrals*

system or security properties).

security-libs/javax.xml.crypto:

JDK-8202891: Updated xmldsig Implementation to Apache Santuario 2.1.1

=====================================================================

The XMLDSig provider implementation in the `java.xml.crypto` module has been updated to version 2.1.1 of Apache Santuario.

New features include:

1. Support for the SHA-224 and SHA-3 DigestMethod algorithms specified

in RFC 6931.

2. Support for the HMAC-SHA224, RSA-SHA224, ECDSA-SHA224, and

RSASSA-PSS family of SignatureMethod algorithms specified in RFC 6931.

JDK-8238185: New OpenJDK-specific JDK 8 Updates System Property to fallback to legacy Base64 Encoding format

============================================================================================================

The upgrade to the Apache Santuario libraries (see above) introduced

an issue where XML signature using Base64 encoding resulted in

appending `&#xd` or `&#13` to the encoded output. This behavioural

change was made in the Apache Santuario codebase to comply with RFC

2045. The Santuario team has adopted a position of keeping their

libraries compliant with RFC 2045.

Earlier versions of OpenJDK 8 using the legacy encoder returns encoded

data in a format without `&#xd` or `&#13`.

Therefore a new system property, specific to the 8 update stream,

`com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.security.lineFeedOnly` is made

available to fall back to the legacy Base64 encoded format.

Users can set this flag in one of two ways:

1. -Dcom.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.security.lineFeedOnly=true

2. System.setProperty("com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.security.lineFeedOnly", "true")

This new system property is disabled by default. It has no effect on

default behaviour nor when

`com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.security.ignoreLineBreaks` property

is set.

Later JDK family versions will only support the recommended property:

`com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.security.ignoreLineBreaks`

JDK-8254177: US/Pacific-New Zone name removed as part of tzdata2020b

====================================================================

Following JDK's update to tzdata2020b, the long-obsolete files

pacificnew and systemv have been removed. As a result, the

"US/Pacific-New" zone name declared in the pacificnew data file is no

longer available for use.

Notes on individual issues:

===========================

hotspot/jfr:

JDK-8240687: JDK Flight Recorder Integrated to OpenJDK 8u

=========================================================

OpenJDK 8u now contains the backport of JEP 328: Flight Recorder

(https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/328) from later versions of OpenJDK.

JFR is a low-overhead framework to collect and provide data helpful to

troubleshoot the performance of the OpenJDK runtime and of Java

applications. It consists of a new API to define custom events under

the jdk.jfr namespace and a JMX interface to interact with the

framework. The recording can also be initiated with the application

startup using the -XX:+FlightRecorder flag or via jcmd. JFR replaces

the +XX:EnableTracing feature introduced in JEP 167, providing a more

efficient way to retrieve the same information. For compatibility

reasons, +XX:EnableTracing is still accepted, however no data will be

printed.

While JFR is not built by default upstream, it is included in Red Hat

binaries for supported architectures (x86_64, AArch64 & PowerPC 64)

hotspot/runtime:

JDK-8205622: JFR Start Failure After AppCDS Archive Created with JFR StartFlightRecording

=========================================================================================

JFR will be disabled with a warning message if it is enabled during

CDS dumping. The user will see the following warning message:

OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM warning: JFR will be disabled during CDS dumping

if JFR is enabled during CDS dumping such as in the following command

line:

$ java -Xshare:dump -XX:StartFlightRecording=dumponexit=true

security-libs/java.security:

JDK-8244167: Removal of Comodo Root CA Certificate

==================================================

The following expired Comodo root CA certificate was removed from the

`cacerts` keystore: + alias name "addtrustclass1ca [jdk]"

Distinguished Name: CN=AddTrust Class 1 CA Root, OU=AddTrust TTP Network, O=AddTrust AB, C=SE

JDK-8244166: Removal of DocuSign Root CA Certificate

====================================================

The following expired DocuSign root CA certificate was removed from

 the `cacerts` keystore: + alias name "keynectisrootca [jdk]"

Distinguished Name: CN=KEYNECTIS ROOT CA, OU=ROOT, O=KEYNECTIS, C=FR

security-libs/javax.crypto:pkcs11:

JDK-8240191: Allow SunPKCS11 initialization with NSS when external FIPS modules are present in the Security Modules Database

============================================================================================================================

The SunPKCS11 security provider can now be initialized with NSS when

FIPS-enabled external modules are configured in the Security Modules

Database (NSSDB). Prior to this change, the SunPKCS11 provider would

throw a RuntimeException with the message: "FIPS flag set for

non-internal module" when such a library was configured for NSS in

non-FIPS mode.

This change allows the JDK to work properly with recent NSS releases

on GNU/Linux operating systems when the system-wide FIPS policy is

turned on.

Further information can be found in JDK-8238555.

Notes on individual issues:

===========================

hotspot/svc:

JDK-8174881: Binary format for HPROF updated 

============================================

When dumping the heap in binary format, HPROF format 1.0.2 is always

used now. Previously, format 1.0.1 was used for heaps smaller than

2GB. HPROF format 1.0.2 is also used by jhsdb jmap for the

serviceability agent.

security-libs/java.security:

JDK-8229518: Added Support for PKCS#1 v2.2 Algorithms Including RSASSA-PSS Signature

====================================================================================

The SunRsaSign and SunJCE providers have been enhanced with support

for more algorithms defined in PKCS#1 v2.2, such as RSASSA-PSS

signature and OAEP using FIPS 180-4 digest algorithms. New

constructors and methods have been added to relevant JCA/JCE classes

under the `java.security.spec` and `javax.crypto.spec` packages for

supporting additional RSASSA-PSS parameters.

security-libs/javax.crypto:

JDK-8205471: RSASSA-PSS Signature Support Added to SunMSCAPI

============================================================

The RSASSA-PSS signature algorithm support has been added to the SunMSCAPI provider.

security-libs/javax.security:

JDK-8227564: Allow SASL Mechanisms to Be Restricted

===================================================

A security property named `jdk.sasl.disabledMechanisms` has been added

that can be used to disable SASL mechanisms. Any disabled mechanism

will be ignored if it is specified in the `mechanisms` argument of

`Sasl.createSaslClient` or the `mechanism` argument of

`Sasl.createSaslServer`. The default value for this security property

is empty, which means that no mechanisms are disabled out-of-the-box.
