RFR: 8240187: Test hotspot/jtreg/runtime/jni/terminatedThread/TestTerminatedThread.java fails on Alpine Linux

[Mikael Vidstedt]

Is it only pthread_getcpuclockid() that is the problem, or are the other functions also problematic. Put differently, should the whole test be excluded, or are the parts of the test that still make sense to run on musl?

Cheers,
Mikael
