Nick Gasson 0bdf31811b perf jvmti: Fix demangling Java symbols
For a Java method signature like:

    Ljava/lang/AbstractStringBuilder;appendChars(Ljava/lang/String;II)V

The demangler produces:

    void class java.lang.AbstractStringBuilder.appendChars(class java.lang., shorttring., int, int)

The arguments should be (java.lang.String, int, int) but the demangler
interprets the "S" in String as the type code for "short". Correct this
and two other minor things:

- There is no "bool" type in Java, should be "boolean".

- The demangler prepends "class" to every Java class name. This is not
  standard Java syntax and it wastes a lot of horizontal space if the
  signature is long. Remove this as there isn't any ambiguity between
  class names and primitives.

Committer notes:

This was split from a larger patch that also added a java demangler
'perf test' entry, that, before this patch shows the error being fixed
by it:

  $ perf test java

After applying this patch:

  $ perf test  java

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
