webrev:

History: The JVM claimed SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2 for the INTERRUPT and ASYNC signals, respectively. -Xusealtsigs, mapping to -XX:+UseAltSigs, was provided to allow users to reclaim those signals and instead use two of the real-time signals (between SIGRTMIN and SIGRTMAX) As of Solaris 10, Solaris provides SIGJVM1 and SIGJVM2 exclusively for the JVMs use. This avoids any conflict with user-defined signal usage. As of Java 6 we documented that on Solaris 10 -Xusealtsigs/-XX:+UseAltSigs had no affect: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/signals-139944.html#gbzbh As we no longer support Solaris versions older than 10, we do not need the UseAltSigs functionality and the flags can be made Obsolete. Thanks, David
