> Hi all,

> Considering the consistency of `JavaThread` and other threads, such as 
> WorkerThread and CompilerThread, `JavaThread` could use a method named `cast` 
> to replace the method `Thread::as_Java_thread()`. It can reduce the Thread's 
> knowledge about the subtypes.
> 
> This patch removes two methods, `JavaThread* Thread::as_Java_thread()` and 
> `const JavaThread* Thread::as_Java_thread() const`, of the class `Thread` and 
> adds two static methods, `JavaThread* cast(Thread* t)` and `const JavaThread* 
> cast(const Thread* t)`, to the class `JavaThread`. Correspondingly, the code 
> of the method `JavaThread::current()` need to be adjusted and many places 
> where the method `Thread::as_Java_thread()` is used need to use 
> `JavaThread::cast` instead.
> 
> Test:
> tier1 passed locally.
