This file is usually required by the OpenJDK and/or IcedTea upstream developers when filling a bug and, in the case of OpenJDK, is more useful than the incomplete stacktrace that GDB can generate from OpenJDK crashes. OpenJDK 8 now includes a new apport hook to collect additional data from crash reports as well as the hs_err log file (in the new HotspotError key). A new release is soon reaching Zesty and Xenial with the hook included and without SRU'ing this fix the hs_err file won't be uploaded to the error tracker. [Test Case] 1. Start any java program using OpenJDK 8 2. Kill it with SIGILL 3. Check that the created report contains the hs_err file [Regression Potential] If the new key is added to acceptable_fields whoopsie will upload the entries in it. Currently the OpenJDK apport hook limits this to 100 KB, but changes to it could allow bigger files with in turn cause an overhead in the error tracker infrastructure. [Original bug report] OpenJDK 8 apport hook attaches the hs_err_pid<pid>.log (if it exists) to a Crash report under the HotspotError key. The hook is currently limited to attaching files under 100 KB. Please add HotspotError key to the whitelist in order for it to be available in error tracker.
