[rvm-research] Cloning of library methods for application and VM contexts

Dear Researchers,

I wanted to let you know about a patch recently added to the Research 
Archive that addresses challenges related to the fact that in Jikes RVM, 
the same Java libraries are called by both the VM and the application. 
In patched Jikes RVM, there are two versions of every library method: 
one called from the "VM context" and one called from the "application 
context." This makes it straightforward to instrument or modify only 
library methods called by the application, but not the VM, since the 
compiler just needs to check which version of a library method it's 
compiling.

There's a README in the patch that provides more details about the 
implementation, as well as acknowledgments.

Questions, suggestions, improvements to the patch, and other feedback 
are greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Mike
