RFR(M): 8136445: Performance issue with Nashorn and C2's global code motion

[Doerr, Martin]

Please use this one:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~mdoerr/8136445_c2_gcm/webrev.02/
It prevents a build warning on windows. I have added an explicit type cast.

Best regards,
  Martin

Hi Vladimir,

thank you very much for your review.

I have changed the Node_Stack initialization as you suggested.

In addition, I changed the iterator to really support removal of nodes:
uint idx = MIN2(_stack.index(), self->outcnt()); // Support removal of nodes.
I believe it's currently not needed in openjdk, but it may be needed in the future.
Hope this is ok.

The new webrev Is here:

Can anybody volunteer to sponsor, please?

Best regards,
  Martin

You reversed 8011858 changes which made stack much smaller - live_nodes was usually 1/10 of unique nodes:

-  stack.map((C->live_nodes() >> 1) + 16, NULL);
+  Node_Stack stack(arena, (C->unique() >> 2) + 16); // pre-grow

Please, use live_nodes with your >> 2 change:

   Node_Stack stack(arena, (C->live_nodes() >> 2) + 16); // pre-grow

Iterator changes seems fine to me.

Thanks,
Vladimir
