This bug was fixed in the package openjdk-lts -
11.0.9.1+1-0ubuntu1~20.10

---------------
openjdk-lts (11.0.9.1+1-0ubuntu1~20.10) groovy-security; urgency=medium

  * Backport from Hirsute.

openjdk-lts (11.0.9.1+1-0ubuntu1) hirsute; urgency=medium

  * OpenJDK 11.0.9+11 build (release).

  [ Matthias Klose ]
  * Configure --with-jvm-features=shenandoahgc for hotspot builds.
    LP: #1902029.

  [ Tiago Stürmer Daitx ]
  * Filter out recurring failed tests.
    - debian/failed-tests-problemlist.txt: list of tests known to
      have failed in the past.
    - debian/tests/control: add zip as some tests depend on it.
    - debian/tests/hotspot, debian/tests/jaxp, debian/test/jdk,
      debian/tests/langtools: exclude tests listed as failed tests,
      exit if jtreg exits 77 as no test was actually ran.
    - debian/tests/jtreg-autopkgtest.in: reduce retries from 3 to 2,
      exit early if test results are the same on retry, output time
      along name and status.
    - debian/tests/jtreg-autopkgtest.sh: regenerated.
    - d/p/hotspot-test-fix-npe-on-missing-file.patch: recurse only
      if src file exists, fixes test when libatk is a dangling link.

Title:
  openjdk-lts 11.0.9+ could include Shenandoah GC on amd64

Status in openjdk-lts package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  In OpenJDK 11.0.9, the Shenandoah GC has been backported from OpenJDK 15, and is considered "Ready for Production". References:
  https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/shenandoah/Main
  https://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk-updates-dev/2020-October/004007.html (11.0.9 release notes)
  https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8250784 (the backport issue, with pointers to review discussions)

  Just like ZGC, it is an optional feature, which must be explicitly enabled at build time. Some vendors enable it already:
  https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/shenandoah/Main#Main-Releases
  For instance, Fedora enables it on x86_64 (amd64), now without any specific patch (prior to 11.0.9, they were shipping the backport patch):
  https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/java-11-openjdk/blob/master/f/java-11-openjdk.spec

  I think Ubuntu should do the same, enable it on amd64 (just like ZGC),
  and backport to Bionic/Focal. For some use-cases, Shenandoah has
  already proved it brings valuable improvements compared to G1GC, it
  would be nice being able to use it on Ubuntu-based containers/systems
  too.

  I will attach an untested patch, just to show what I think is the
  required change to debian/rules.
