Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8175817
webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~dholmes/8175817/webrev/
On Solaris SIGasync represents what we call the "SR signal" on other
platforms (the event-based suspend/resume signal), and it is hardwired
to SIGJVM2 (a dedicated JVM signal on Solaris 10+).
As this signal is hard-wired and has not been user-definable at runtime
for a very long time, we can do away with the SIGasync field and its
setter and getter, and simply define ASYNC_SIGNAL as SIGJVM2 (not
SIGUSR2 as the code currently suggests!). Once this is a build time
constant it simplifies some other code.
We can also stop trying to account for SIGJVM1/2 not existing as they
must exist on the supported Solaris platforms.
We can also stop trying to deal with an older libjsig (the logic for
which has a bug anyway: used <= instead of < in the version check).
Overall just a bit of simplification and cleanup. No functional changes.
Testing: JPRT
Thanks,
David
