8365861: test/jdk/sun/security/pkcs11/Provider/ tests skipped without SkippedException

[tkiriyama]

Hi all,

I will backport DK-8365861 from JDK 26 to JDK 11 to address an issue where, when a SunPKCS11 provider is not available, tests would print a skipping message and return. This caused jtreg to misleadingly mark them as "Passed" because no explicit failure occurred. In other words, when PKCS#11 functionality was unavailable, the tests exited normally and were counted the same as successful tests, even though they did not actually verify any functionality.

This backport is mostly clean from JDK 17, but some manual fixes are required.

Unclean Backport
The backport of JDK-8365861 to JDK 11 is not straightforward because ConfigShortPath.java differs from the version targeted by the original fix. In particular, JDK 11 still contains Solaris-related code that was later removed in JDK 15 as part of JDK-8244224. Since that removal is not planned for backporting to JDK 11 or earlier releases, the affected sections of ConfigShortPath.java do not align cleanly with the upstream patch and require manual edits.

There are additional, similar PKCS#11 test improvements in newer releases, but we plan to backport those to JDK 11 separately and in due course.

Thank you.
