Some VM options have "Solaris only" text in their descriptions. For current moment this information is outdated. For instance, FilterSpuriousWakeups actually is checked for all nix systems, but comment says "Solaris only"(shown only in nonproduct):

same we can see for DontYieldALot and ConvertYieldToSleep options.


Additionally, FilterSpuriousWakeups has inaccurate comments in OS-specific files(os/aix/vm/os_aix.cpp, os/bsd/vm/os_bsd.cpp, os/linux/vm/os_linux.cpp), which erroneously claiming, that FilterSpuriousWakeups option prevents these wakeups be visible in Java code. But actually it's just filtering OS wakeups only.
