CSR Review: 8189423: Add option to disable stack overflow checking in primordial thread for use with JNI_CreateJavaJVM

[Thomas Stüfe]

Hi David,

Just some notes:

- I am confused about the "primordial thread" naming; I always understood
the primordial thread to be the thread running main(), not the thread
invoking JNI_CreateJavaVM. I always used this term in this way for AIX
related problems. How about "VM-Initializing thread"?

- Would this not also be a useful feature for other threads attached to the
VM (AttachCurrentThread), as those threads may use a different SO-handling
scheme too ?

Other than that, I think this is a useful addition. Would have helped me
before on AIX (see https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8179327)

Kind Regards, Thomas
