A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
In a JVMTI profiler agent we use a class Callback with several native methods. Calls to Callback methods are injected via bytecode instrumentation to the profiled application code. Callback is loaded via bootstrap loader, its JAR path is added via JVMTI call AddToBootstrapClassLoaderSearch.

We register natives for Callback in VMStart.

As the result of JDK-8238460 (change https://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk/jdk/rev/5e402c63694f?revcount=1000 ) we now get multiple warnings "Re-registering of platform native method: <...> from code in a different classloader".

I believe this warning is incorrect. We are not re-registering anything in the platform but register the agent's natives once.

Please find a solution or suggest a workaround to avoid the warnings. I make think of the following possibilities:
- let RegisterNatives actually check it's a re-registering, i.e. the natives have not been bound to the class yet;
- provide a way to white-list the agent classes to not treat them part of "platform", e.g. via a property;
- don't issue the warning for classes from AddToBootstrapClassLoaderSearch.
