Sorry for the delay in reviewing this one... I've been playing whack-a-mole
with Robbin's MoCrazy test and my AsyncMonitorDeflation bits...

     Thanks for removing the PROPER_TRANSITIONS stuff. That was old
     and crufty stuff.

src/hotspot/share/prims/jvmtiEnvBase.cpp
     No comments.

src/hotspot/share/prims/jvmtiRawMonitor.cpp
     L39:   new (ResourceObj::C_HEAP, mtInternal) 
GrowableArray<JvmtiRawMonitor*>(1,true);
         nit - need a space between ',' and 'true'.

         Update: leave for your follow-up bug.

     No comments.

src/hotspot/share/runtime/objectMonitor.hpp
     Glad I added those 'protected for JvmtiRawMonitor' in one
     of my recent cleanup bugs. Obviously I'll have to merge
     with Async Monitor Deflation. :-)

src/hotspot/share/runtime/thread.cpp
     No comments.

src/hotspot/share/runtime/thread.hpp
     No comments.

src/hotspot/share/services/threadService.cpp
     L397:     waitingToLockMonitor = jt->current_pending_monitor();
     L398:     if (waitingToLockMonitor == NULL) {
     L399:       // we can only be blocked on a raw monitor if not 
blocked on an ObjectMonitor
     L400:       waitingToLockRawMonitor = 
jt->current_pending_raw_monitor();
     L401:     }

         JVM/TI has this event handler:

           typedef void (JNICALL *jvmtiEventMonitorContendedEnter)
               (jvmtiEnv *jvmti_env,
                JNIEnv* jni_env,
                jthread thread,
                jobject object);

         This event handler is called after set_current_pending_monitor()
         and if the event handler uses a RawMonitor, then it possible for
         for the thread to show up as blocked on both a Java monitor and
         a JVM/TI RawMonitor.

test/hotspot/jtreg/vmTestbase/nsk/jvmti/RawMonitorWait/rawmnwait005/rawmnwait005.cpp
     No comments.


Thumbs up! The only non-nit I have is the setting of waitingToLockRawMonitor
on L400 and the corresponding comment on L399. Everything else is a nit.

I don't need to see a new webrev.

Thanks for tackling this disentangle issue!
