Imo we should at least try to make non-osx bsd builds work, since
the original code did work for non-osx builds. This change doesn't
do that.
In globalDefinitions_gcc.hpp, if you keep the lines
#undef ELF_AC
#undef EFL_ID
then you don't have to change vm_version_x86.hpp.

Typically you'll see something like:
#ifdef _ALLBSD_SOURCE
<code that works on all BSDs>
#ifdef __APPLE__
<code specific to MacOS X>
#else
<code for other BSDs>
#endif // __APPLE__
#endif // _ALLBSD_SOURCE
As for building on non-MacOS X BSDs, that would be nice, but we
don't have the infrastructure to do it.

Hi Staffan,
It looks like you're adding Mac-specific stuff like thread_t and
calls to ::mach_thread_self() inside _ALLBSD_SOURCE #ifdefs, are you
sure this won't break BSD builds?
Does the OSX compiler define _ALLBSD_SOURCE or is that for
(free|net|open)bsd?
It's too bad we don't do regular builds on any of the BSDs, otherwise
this would have been easier to figure out.

Please review the following change:
Bug: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7132070
Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~sla/7132070/webrev.00/
This changes the value returned by OSThread::thread_id() and
os::current_thread_id() on macosx to return the mach thread_t
instead of
pthread_t. There is a separate method OSThread:pthread_id() that
returns
the pthread_t.
The reason for this change is both that JFR would like a 4 byte value
for thread id, and that SA requires access to the thread_t.
Thanks,
