openjdk: remove need for fdescfs(5) and probably procfs(5)

2025-06-27T15:14:08Z

Implement getCommittedVirtualMemorySize() directly using sysctl kern.proc.vmmap Implement getOpenFileDescriptorCount() directly using sysctl kern.proc.nfds Note on openjdk17 use closefrom where possible (note this use case is only in openjdk 17, 21, 23 and 24) Remove the message about the use of fdescfs(5) as this is not needed for sure, keep the information about procfs(5) as I have not analysed enough the source code to make sure it is not used anywhere else, but I don't think it is.

java/openjdk*: Update pkg-message information about fdescfs and procfs

2025-01-06T14:16:58Z

OpenJDK installation inform that fdescfs(5) and procfs(5) should be mounted when using OpenJDK. After doing some test and some traces, it seems that this should be no so usefull, some applications will require it, but most of java applications doesn't seems to suffer to work or performance when such pseudo FS is not mounted. So this change request permit to let local administrator to decide if it is really needed or not. Sponsored by: Entersekt (previously Modirum MDpay) Sponsored by: Klara Inc.

Reinstate guidance to have /proc mounted

* Having /proc mounted is not generally critical, but there is at least one piece of functionality that does rely on its presence at the moment (e.g. OperatingSystemMXBean)

Remove guidance about needing procfs

2019-08-28T15:34:32Z

* Remove portions of pkg-message that mention needing /proc mounted. This hasn't been the case for a while afaik (I don't have it mounted and haven't observed any related problems).
