ADDITIONAL SYSTEM INFORMATION :
openjdk 21-ea 2023-09-19
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 21-ea+18-1480)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 21-ea+18-1480, mixed mode, sharing)

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Unable to start VM with JMX and JDP, specifying "com.sun.management.jmxremote.autodiscovery=true" and others JMX properties, when perfData is disabled with flag "-XX:-UsePerfData" at the command line.

Apparently introduced in JDK-8167337 making discover service dependent on perf buffer.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Run: java -XX:-UsePerfData -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.autodiscovery=true -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=0 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false --version

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The process starts without perfData.
ACTUAL -
