RFR: 8221477: Inject os/cpu-specific constants into Unsafe from JVM

[Thomas Stüfe]

Hi,

this looks fine, nits only:

UnsafeConstantsFixup::do_field()

you could shrink that coding a bit by factoring out the checks, e.g.:

static oop mirror_with_checks_from_field_descriptor(fieldDescriptor* fd) {
 oop mirror = fd->field_holder()->java_mirror();
 assert(fd->field_holder() == SystemDictionary::UnsafeConstants_klass(),
"Should be UnsafeConstants");
 assert(mirror != NULL, "UnsafeConstants must have mirror already");
 return oop;
}

Also, is there a reason that code from thread.cpp:

    jint address_size = sizeof(void*);
    jint page_size = os::vm_page_size();
    jboolean is_big_endian = LITTLE_ENDIAN_ONLY(false)
BIG_ENDIAN_ONLY(true);
    jint use_unaligned_access = UseUnalignedAccesses;

could not just happen right in UnsafeConstantsFixup::do_field()? You would
not have to pass all these arguments around, param list could be empty.
