I went over this patch and collected some comments:

src/hotspot/share/adlc/output_c.cpp
src/hotspot/share/adlc/output_h.cpp

Awkward code layout after change to.


src/hotspot/share/c1/c1_Runtime1.cpp
src/hotspot/share/classfile/classListParser.cpp
src/hotspot/share/memory/arena.hpp
src/hotspot/share/opto/chaitin.cpp
test/hotspot/jtreg/gc/TestCardTablePageCommits.java

Surrounding comments still refers to Sparc and/or Solaris.

There are even more places if you search in the rest of the HotSpot 
source. Are we leaving those for a separate cleanup pass?


src/hotspot/share/gc/g1/g1HeapRegionAttr.hpp

Remove comment:
   // We use different types to represent the state value depending on 
platform as
   // some have issues loading parts of words.


src/hotspot/share/gc/shared/memset_with_concurrent_readers.hpp

Fuse the declaration and definition, now that we only have one 
implementation. Maybe even remove function/file at some point.


src/hotspot/share/utilities/globalDefinitions.hpp

Now that STACK_BIAS is always 0, should we remove its usages? Follow-up RFE?


src/jdk.internal.vm.compiler/share/classes/org.graalvm.compiler.hotspot/src/org/graalvm/compiler/hotspot/meta/HotSpotGraphBuilderPlugins.java

Maybe remove decryptSuffix?


src/utils/hsdis/Makefile

Is this really correct?

Shouldn't:
ARCH1=$(CPU:x86_64=amd64)
ARCH2=$(ARCH1:i686=i386)
ARCH=$(ARCH2:sparc64=sparcv9)

be changed to:
ARCH1=$(CPU:x86_64=amd64)
ARCH=$(ARCH1:i686=i386)

so that we have ARCH defined?


Other than that this looks good to me.

The other patches are being sent out for review to mailing lists appropriate for the respective areas the touch. An email will be sent to jdk-dev summarizing all the patches/reviews. To be clear: this patch is *not* in itself complete and stand-alone - all of the (six) patches are needed to form a complete patch. Some changes in this patch may look wrong or incomplete unless also looking at the corresponding changes in other areas.
