Fwd: Re: Better default for ParallelGCThreads and ConcGCThreads by using number of physical cores and CPU mask.

Jungwoo,

I forwarded the webrev to the runtime mailing list and got this
back.  In case you are not on that mailing list, here it is.

    Can someone familiar with this code take a look to see
    if it is reasonable and done in a way that is consistent
    with other /proc queries.


/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu<N>/topology/thread_siblings_list might be
