Request for review: 8004495: [parfait] False positive Buffer overflow in hotspot/src/os/linux/vm/os_linux.cpp

[harold seigel]

Hi,

Please review the following change.

Summary: This is a parfait bug concerning a possible buffer overflow 
when using '%s' in fscanf().  However, the entire block of code 
containing the fscanf() is for older versions of Linux that are no 
longer supported.  So, the block of code can just be deleted.

Bug link at: https://jbs.oracle.com/bugs/browse/JDK-8004495

The changes were tested with JPRT, JCK Lang and VM tests, UTE tests, and 
with JTREG tests.  Also, the api/javax_management tests were run with 
the UseLinuxPoisxThreadCPUClocks flag explicitly turned on and off.

Thanks!  Harold
