Thank you Daniel!
Please find the updated webrev with your suggestions incorporated here:

Concerning the thread priority: If the application is of
NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS, then setting the thread's priority level to
THREAD_PRIORITY_HIGHEST will result in its priority value to be only 10
(of maximum 31).
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms685100(v=vs.85).aspx
And if the process is HIGH_PRIORITY_CLASS, then the tread with the
HIGHEST priority level will have priority value == 15 of 31.
I believe, it should not be too much, and the machine will not become
busy with only those closing threads.
However, I hope it would be enough to make them complete faster than
other threads of the NORMAL priority level withing the same application.
I don't think this is necessary or desirable. Under normal usage we're
giving priority to exiting threads and that may disrupt the usual
scheduling patterns that applications see. You may posit that it is
"harmless" but we can't say that for sure. Nor can we actually know that
this will help with this particular bug. I would not add in this new code.

Sincerely yours,

Hello!
The recent fix for JDK-8059533 ((process) Make exiting process wait
for exiting threads [win]) caused the warning message to be printed
in some test environments:
-----------
os_windows.cpp:3844 is in the newly updated
os::win32::exit_process_or_thread(Ept what, int exit_code)
-----------
This has been observed with debug builds on highly loaded systems.
To address the issue it is proposed to do three things:
1) increase the timeout for debug builds,
2) increase the maximum number of the thread handles to be stored,
3) rise the priority of the exiting threads, if we need to wait for
them.
Would you please help review the fix?

Instead of NOT_DEBUG can you use PRODUCT_ONLY?
Instead of DEBUG_ONLY can you used NOT_PRODUCT?
That uses the smaller value for only one build config (PRODUCT).

line 3836 // Rise the priority...
Typo: 'Rise' -> 'Raise'
About the general idea of raising the exiting thread's priority,
if the exiting thread is looping in some Win* OS code after this
point, will raising the priority make the machine unusable?

The fix was tested on all available platforms, with the hotspot
testset. No failures.
Sincerely yours,
Ivan
