Hi all,
please review this change that specializes the call to `Vtablestubs::entry_for` for vtable blob.
This kind of code blobs must always be in the `Vtablestubs` table (they are only created by the `Vtablestubs` class), so trying to find that stub there using it is unnecessary. For verification I added an assert that verifies it's found.
Given that `Vtablestubs::entry_point()` would take a lock this removal of the lock results in a large speedup (https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8317527) in MT situations and is an even better change than that mentioned CR - and also worth the extra code (I did not retest performance since the `Vtablestubs` table lookup should be fairly fast).
Fwiw, the first commit contains a different variant of this change, keeping the decision out of `Vtablestubs`, but I liked the current one better for it encapsulating that decision more. I am fine with reverting the second commit.
Testing: tier1-7, gha, stress testing
Thanks,
Thomas
