Shenandoah GC support for mandrel

[ksvasan]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Is there a plan for adding shenandoah GC support to mandrel, asking this since it was contributed by redhat to the upstream openjdk. Having a low latency GC like shenandoah would allow for wide spread adoption on the server side and it can become a serious competitor to the likes of golang.

Describe the solution you'd like
Shenandoah GC support for graalvm native-image binaries to have a GC which can compete with golang latencies.

Describe alternatives you've considered
There is an issue in the upstream for Shenandoah support in native-image (oracle#3472)

Additional context
N/A

Hi @ksvasan,

Is there a plan for adding shenandoah GC support to mandrel, asking this since it was contributed by redhat to the upstream openjdk.

No, there is no plan or commitment on delivering this feature, but there is an ongoing effort from @bakaliosdim (building on top of oracle#2426) to add Shenandoah GC support to graal, which as you already pointed out is being tracked in oracle#3472.

Furthermore, it's worth noting that the current work aims to add Shenandoah GC to the Graal JIT compiler. native-image support would come as a second step and would require more work to be achieved.
