> [JDK-8318694](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8318694) limited the ability for JVMCI CompilerThreads to make Java upcalls. This is to mitigate against deadlock when an upcall does class loading. Class loading can easily create deadlock situations in -Xcomp or -Xbatch mode.
> 
> However, for Truffle, upcalls are unavoidable if Truffle partial evaluation occurs as part of JIT compilation inlining. This occurs when the Graal inliner sees a constant Truffle AST node which allows a Truffle-specific inlining extension to perform Truffle partial evaluation (PE) on the constant. Such PE involves upcalls to the Truffle runtime (running in Java).
> 
> This PR provides the escape hatch such that Truffle specific logic can put a compiler thread into "allow Java upcall" mode during the scope of the Truffle logic.

Tomáš Zezula has updated the pull request with a new target base due to a merge or a rebase. The pull request now contains three commits:

 - Libgraal does not allow _can_call_java.
 - rename changeCompilerThreadCanCallJava to updateCompilerThreadCanCallJava
 - added CompilerThreadCanCallJavaScope
