> 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
