      The -Xmaxjitcodesize flag is incorrectly documented e.g.

      https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/tools/unix/java.html

      -Xmaxjitcodesize=size

          Specifies the maximum code cache size (in bytes) for JIT-compiled code. Append the letter k or K to indicate kilobytes, m or M to indicate megabytes, g or G to indicate gigabytes. The default maximum code cache size is 240 MB; if you disable tiered compilation with the option -XX:-TieredCompilation, then the default size is 48 MB:

          -Xmaxjitcodesize=240m

          This option is equivalent to -XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize.
      ---

      In fact this option does not take an equal sign and is used as:

         -Xmaxjitcodesize240m

      This should be fixed
