      Description

      The type GlobalCounter::CSContext (added by JDK-8212827) is presently a typedef for the underlying uintx type. That doesn't give much type safety though. Better would be to use a C++11 enum class, once those are available for use in HotSpot code, e.g. replace the typedef with

      enum class CSContext : uintx {};
