Hi,
I noticed that in ThreadLocalRandom and Striped64, Unsafe remains for
the sole purpose of accessing 3 fields in java.lang.Thread class. Now
that there are VarHandle(s), they could be combined with SharedSecrets
to get rid of Unsafe access in those two classes. For example, in Striped64:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~plevart/misc/JavaLangThreadAccess/webrev.Striped64/
This has the added benefit that IDE(s) can search for usages of
JavaLangThreadAccess.xxx methods to quickly find all the usages. Note
that even though Thread is one of primordial classes, obtaining
VarHandle(s) for its fields is lazy and works without problems...
Regards, Peter

Webrev regenerated with updates.
Lots of rework for the atomic VarHandle specs.

In the unlikely case you want the old webrev, it's at
