Problem with HSAIL->interpreter deopt with many variables

I think I found a problem with the HSAIL deoptimization back to interpreter when there are a lot of locals in the offloaded lambda. From what I have seen so far it looks like if there are more than about 8 locals, and I am not sure what is the mix of ints and objects, when the locals get restored into the new interpreter frame in vframeArrayElement::unpack_on_stack(), it writes into the stack frame of call_stub() that is used when calling from the hsail C++ code to the x86 trampoline for the method.

I put a test case that shows working/crashing just by switching 2 lines of code at 
 http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~ecaspole/OtherArgsWithCompSafepointTest.java
Just switch the lines around at line 47 to see it work or crash.
In this test to see the crash you have to take a safepoint and deoptimize on the compiler safepoint in the loop in the kernel.
Run it with : ./mx.sh --vmbuild debug --vm server unittest -XX:+TraceGPUInteraction  hsail.test.lambda.OtherArgsWithCompSafepointTest

When the problem happens, it over writes the callee saves in call_stub so it ends up crashing in the hsail C++ code or near there.
I am not sure if this problem has always been there since we have very few test cases with this many variables.

I am not familiar with how the frames are created on a deopt. Could someone give me some hints about this? How is the newly created frame placed relative to the caller frames? How is the size of that frame determined?

Thanks,
Eric
