> The fix is to degrade virtual threads support in the JVM TI 
> `GetObjectMonitorUsage` function so that it is specified to only return an 
> owner when the owner is a platform thread. Also, virtual threads are not 
> listed in the both `waiters` and `notify_waiters` lists returned in the 
> `jvmtiMonitorUsage` structure. Java 19 re-specified a number of JVMTI 
> functions and events for virtual threads, we missed this one.

> The main motivation for degrading it now is that the object monitor 
> implementation is being updated to allow virtual threads unmount while owning 
> monitors. It would add overhead to record monitor usage when 
> freezing/unmount, overhead that couldn't be tied to a JVMTI capability as the 
> capability can be enabled at any time.

> `GetObjectMonitorUsage` was broken for 20+ years 
> ([8247972](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8247972)) without bug reports 
> so it seems unlikely that the function is widely used. Degrading it to only 
> return an owner when the owner is a platform thread has no compatibility 
> impact for tooling that uses it in conjunction with `HotSpot` thread dumps or 
> `ThreadMXBean`.
> 
> One other point about `GetObjectMonitorUsage` is that it pre-dates 
> j.u.concurrent in Java 5 so it can't be used to get a full picture of the 
> lock usage in a program.
> 
> The specs of the impacted `JDWP ObjectReference.MonitorInfo` command and the 
> JDI `ObjectReference` `ownerThread()`, `waitingThreads()` and `entryCount()` 
> methods are updated to match the JVM TI spec.
