This pretty much says it all:

mod; 103780 unchg


My review is focused on looking at the changes and not looking for missed
changes. I figure there's enough work here just looking at the changes to
keep me occupied for a while and enough people have posted comments about
finding other things to be examined, etc...

Unlike my normal reviews, I won't be listing all the touched files;
(there's _only_ 427 of them...)

Don't forget to make a copyright year update pass before you push.

src/hotspot/os/posix/os_posix.hpp
         L174
     old L175 #ifndef SOLARIS
         L176
        nit - on most of this style of deletion you also got rid of
        one of the blank lines, but not here.

src/hotspot/share/utilities/dtrace.hpp
     old L42: #elif defined(__APPLE__)
     old L44: #include <sys/types.h>
     old L45: #else
     new L32: #include <sys/types.h>
         <sys/types.h> was previous included only for __APPLE__ and it
         is now there for every platform. Any particular reason?

Thumbs up!

>> Because of the size of the total patch and wide range of areas touched, this patch is one out of in total six partial patches which together make up the necessary changes to remove the Solaris and SPARC ports. The other patches are being sent out for review to mailing lists appropriate for the respective areas the touch. An email will be sent to jdk-dev summarizing all the patches/reviews. To be clear: this patch is *not* in itself complete and stand-alone - all of the (six) patches are needed to form a complete patch. Some changes in this patch may look wrong or incomplete unless also looking at the corresponding changes in other areas.
