Description
The vSphere Guest SDK offers retrieval for various interesting virtualization related metrics (like host or resource information). 
Those could be used to enhance the hs_err file output on virtualized systems.
Comments
Fix Request I would like to have the patch as well in jdk11, because it improves supportability in jdk11 . The patch applies cleanly. It should be pushed together with 8224033 because this other CR solves issues with older Visual Studio versions.
