Hi,
please review the following patch.
Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8059735
Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~thartmann/8059735/webrev.00/
Problem:
In 'NMethodSweeper::process_nmethod' a non-entrant nmethod is processed
and can be converted to zombie (line 549 of sweeper.cpp). To clean the
IC stubs of that nmethod [1] we acquire the CompiledIC_lock and check
for a safepoint. In this case, there is a safepoint request and we
block. During the safepoint a VM_Deoptimize operation is executed (due
to classloading) and the non-entrant nmethod is set to zombie by
'CodeCache::make_marked_nmethods_zombies'. After the safepoint the
sweeper continues and tries to set the nmethod to zombie again.
Solution:
Use a MutexLockerEx with the '_no_safepoint_check_flag' to acquire the
CompiledIC_lock.
Testing:
- Failing tests
- JPRT
Thanks,
Tobias
