> Hi,
>
> This PR updates the VM implementation of the foreign linker, by bringing over commits from the panama-foreign repo.
>
> This is split off from the main JEP integration for 19, since we have limited resources to handle this. As such, this PR might fall over to 20.
>
> I've written up an overview of the Linker architecture here: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jvernee/docs/FL_Overview.html it might be useful to read that first.
>
> This patch moves from the "legacy" implementation, to what is currently implemented in the panama-foreign repo, except for replacing the use of method handle combinators with ASM. That will come in a later path. To recap. This PR contains the following changes:
>
> 1. VM stubs for downcalls are now generated up front, instead of lazily by C2 [1].
> 2. the VM support for upcalls/downcalls now support all possible call shapes. And VM stubs and Java code implementing the buffered invocation strategy has been removed [2], [3], [4], [5].
> 3. The existing C2 intrinsification support for the `linkToNative` method handle linker was no longer needed and has been removed [6] (support might be re-added in another form later).
> 4. Some other cleanups, such as: OptimizedEntryBlob (for upcalls) now implements RuntimeBlob directly. Binding to java classes has been rewritten to use javaClasses.h/cpp (this wasn't previously possible due to these java classes being in an incubator module) [7], [8], [9].
>
> While the patch mostly consists of VM changes, there are also some Java changes to support (2).
>
> The original commit structure has been mostly retained, so it might be useful to look at a specific commit, or the corresponding patch in the [panama-foreign](https://github.com/openjdk/panama-foreign/pulls?q=is%3Apr) repo as well. I've also left some inline comments to explain some of the changes, which will hopefully make reviewing easier.
