rev 2870 : 7117303: VM uses non-monotonic time source and complains that it is non-monotonic
Summary: Replaces calls to os::javaTimeMillis(), which does not guarantee montonicity, in GC code to os::javaTimeNanos() with a suitable conversion factor. os::javaTimeNanos is guaranteed monotonic if the underlying platform provides a monotonic timesource. Changes in OS files are to make use of the newly defined constants in globalDefinitions.hpp.
