7009361: JSR 292 Invalid value on stack on solaris-sparc with -Xcomp
Reviewed-by:
In the invokedynamic world the signature of the method at an invoke
bytecode might note be the same as the signature of the callee you
finally end up in. This all works correctly during normal execution
but it can break the logic that deopt uses to layout the frames. In
particular on sparc we attempt to place the locals in the same
location that the interpreter execution would have produced by using
the callers expression stack address and callee->size_of_parameters()
to figure out where the top of the live stack is. If the size of the
parameters at the original call site is less than the size of the
parameters of the actual callee then the locals will end up top of the
callers live expression stack. The x86 version of this code places
the locals at the bottom of the frame which keeps this from happening
and I've modified sparc to do the same. There's no reason they need
to be in the same location.
The other potential problem is that deopt also has logic that makes
sure the existing caller is enlarged enough to account for the
difference between the callee parameters and the callee locals. In
the current world we don't really need to enlarge this space because
the method handle machinery also operates like the interpreter so it
extends the caller frame when injecting extra arguments, thus making
sure there's really enough space when we deopt. Since it doesn't have
to work this way I decided to fix this logic to grab the caller notion
of the number of arguments and correct the last frame adjust using
this value.
Additionally the TraceMethodHandles logic was very broken in x86 so I
fixed it. It was mainly broken because some of the
trace_method_handle calls are generated using an
InterpreterMacroAssembler which has extra asserts in call_VM_leaf_base
that don't really apply for the method handle adapters. There were
also problems with the number of arguments being passed in 64 bit. I
ended up moving super_call_VM_leaf up into MacroAssembler since
there's no way to figure out that you are using an
InterpreterMacroAssembler versus a MacroAssembler.
To debug this I added a new printing function,
JavaThread::print_frame_layout, that prints an annotated view of the
stack memory similar to what the SA's memory viewer does. It also
includes some logic to check that the space owned by a frame isn't
claimed by another frame. That actually detects the original bug
immediately. It's not as full featured as it might be but it reports
everything you need to know about interpreter frames.
I also made a small change in loopPredicate because the ttyLocker was
producing spurious output in the log all the time.
Tested with original failing test from test and DeoptimizeALot testing
on sparc.
