Remove dead code from os.hpp|cpp

XMLWordPrintable

    • b20

      os.hpp has a number of dead and effectively unused methods that could be removed, including but not limited to:

       os::distribute_processes
       os::enable_vtime
       os::vtime_enabled
       os::default_file_open_flags
       os::do_you_want_to_debug (!?)
       os::is_debugger_attached
       SuspendResume::is_suspend_request

      There's also os::bind_to_processor which is only implemented on Solaris and only used by CMS if enabling a diagnostic flag (BindCMSThreadToCPU) which defaults to false, which seems like a reasonable candidate for deprecation and removal.
