> This change relocates mutable data (such as relocations, oops, and metadata) from the nmethod. The change follows the recent PR #18984, which relocated immutable nmethod data from the CodeCache.
>
> The core idea remains the same: use the CodeCache for executable code while moving additional data to the C heap. The primary motivations are improving security and enhancing code density.
>
> Although performance is not the main focus, testing on AArch64 CPUs, where code density plays a significant role, has shown a 1–2% performance improvement in specific scenarios, such as the CodeCacheStress test and the Renaissance Dotty benchmark.
>
> The numbers. Immutable data constitutes **~30%** on the nmehtod. Mutable data constitutes **~8%** of nmethod. Example (statistics collected on the CodeCacheStress benchmark):
> - nmethod_count:134000, total_compilation_time: 510460ms
> - total allocation time malloc_mutable/malloc_immutable/CodeCache_alloc: 62ms/114ms/6333ms,
> - total allocation size (mutable/immutable/nmentod): 64MB/192MB/488MB
>
> Functional testing: jtreg on arm/aarch/x86.
> Performance testing: renaissance/dacapo/SPECjvm2008 benchmarks.
>
> Alternative solution (see comments): In the future, relocations can be moved to _immutable_data.
