Description
sigthreadmask is used only in one place in hotspot codebase.  With this enhancement it should be evaluated if sigthreadmask need to be used. If it is needed the reason why pthread_sigmask could not be used should be documented. If it is not needed it should be replaced with pthread_sigmask.
