Hi all,
Please review the following patch that removes some uneeded uses of cross_modify_fence() in common code, in particular
from ~ThreadBlockInVM(), ~ThreadBlockInVMWithDeadlockCheck() and java_suspend_self_with_safepoint_check(). These fences
were added before each JavaThread had to disarm itself (8230594). After a safepoint/handshake each JavaThread will
always call SafepointMechanism::process_if_requested_slow() when transitioning out of the safe state and will execute a
cross_modify_fence(). Tested with mach5 tiers1-7.
Thanks,
Patricio
