Direct(getfield/getstatic) read operations are faster than unsafe reads
from constant Java fields, since VM doesn't constant fold unsafe loads.
Though VM tries hard to recover field metadata from its offset, it
doesn't optimize unsafe ones even if it has all necessary info in its hands.
The fix is to align the behavior and share relevant code between C2
parser and intrinsic expansion logic.
For testing purposes, I extended whitebox API to check whether a value
is a compile-time constant. The whitebox test enumerates all
combinations of a field and ensures that the behavior is consistent
between bytecode and unsafe reads.
Testing: focused whitebox tests, hotspot/test/compiler,
jdk/test/java/lang/invoke, octane (for performance measurements)
Thanks!
Best regards,
Vladimir Ivanov
