Regarding the names of the new methods: Most of the usages for ThreadWXEnable
use it to set the WXMode to WXWrite. The suggested names are therefore a bit
misleading (when used in this context).
One could add another two methods:
class os {
...
// Platform does whatever needed to prepare for execution of generated code
inside the current thread
os::pre_current_thread_jit_code_gen() NOT_MACOS_AARCH64({})
// Platform does whatever needed to clean up after executing generated code
inside the current thread
os::post_current_thread_jit_code_gen() NOT_MACOS_AARCH64({})
But one would still have the problem of nesting (e.g. when code generating code
calls code generating code).
