Please, review a fix for:

CSR draft (one CSR reviewer is needed before finalizing it):

I have some thoughts on the wording which I will add to the CSR.
Thank you a lot for looking at this!
Also on reflection I think JVMTI_ERROR_ILLEGAL_ARGUMENT would the best
error to use, and it has an equivalent in JDWP and at the Java level
for JDI.
This is an interesting variant, thanks!
We need to balance on several criteria:
1) Compatibility: keep returning error as close as possible to the
current spec
2) Best error naming match between JVM TI and JDI/JDWP
3) Best practice in errors naming
I think the #1 is most important but will look at it once more.
Thanks,
Serguei
Thanks,

Updated JVM TI StopThread spec:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~sspitsyn/webrevs/2020/jvmti-stop-thread.1/docs/specs/jvmti.html#StopThread
Summary:
The JVM TI StopThread method mirrored the functionality of the
java.lang.Thread::stop(Throwable t) method, in that it allows any
exception
type to be installed as an asynchronous exception in the target
thread.
However, the java.lang.Thread::stop(Throwable t) method was
inherently unsafe
and in Java 8 (under JDK-7059085) it was "retired" so that it
always threw
UnsupportedOperationException.
The updated JVM TI StopThread spec disallows an arbitrary
Throwable from being passed,
and instead restricts the argument to being an instance of
ThreadDeath, thus
mirroring the (deprecated but still functional)
java.lang.Thread::stop() method.
The error JVMTI_ERROR_INVALID_OBJECT is returned if the exception
argument
is not an instance of ThreadDeath.
Also, I will file similar RFE and CSR on the JDI and JDWP spec.
Testing:
Built docs and checked the doc has been generated as expected.
Will run the nsk.jvmti tests locally.
Will submit hs-tiers1-3 to make sure there are no regressions in
the JVM TI and JDI tests.
Thanks,
Serguei
