RFR (XS): JDK-8014430: JRE crashes instead of stop compilation on full Code Cache. Internal Error (c1_Compiler.cpp:87)

Hi,

thank you for reviewing!

Best,

jbs: https://jbs.oracle.com/bugs/browse/JDK-8014430
webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~anoll/8014430/webrev.00/ 
<http://cr.openjdk.java.net/%7Eanoll/8014430/webrev.00/>

Problem: VM failed with the following error message when the specified 
code cache
specified by -XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=... is too small to startup the VM.

#
# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:
#
#  Internal Error (c1_Compiler.cpp:87), pid=25077, tid=3856251760
#  guarantee(blob != NULL) failed: must create initial code buffer
#
# JRE version: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (8.0-b89) (build 1.8.0-ea-b89)
# Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (25.0-b31 mixed mode linux-x86 )
# Failed to write core dump. Core dumps have been disabled. To enable core dumping, try "ulimit -c unlimited" before starting Java again
#

Solution: replace guarantee() with  vm_exit_out_of_memory() to provide a
graceful shutdown of the VM if the specified size for the code cache is 
too small
to startup the VM. The error message is now as follows:

anoll at anoll-ThinkPad-T430:/export/anoll/test$ 
/export/anoll/jdk_export-32bit/jdk1.8.0/bin/java -client

#
# There is insufficient memory for the Java Runtime Environment to continue.
# Native memory allocation (malloc) failed to allocate 288358 bytes for

# Try to increase -XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=.
