As part of [JDK-8353786](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8353786), C2 support for operations backed by the vector math library was completely removed. On JDK side, there is a special dispatching logic added to avoid intrinsic calls in `jdk.internal.vm.vector.VectorSupport`. But it's still possible to observe such paradoxical situations (intrinsic calls with obsolete operation IDs) when processing effectively dead code.
Consider `FloatVector::lanewiseTemplate`:
FloatVector lanewiseTemplate(VectorOperators.Unary op) {
if (opKind(op, VO_SPECIAL)) {
...
else if (opKind(op, VO_MATHLIB)) {
return unaryMathOp(op);
}
}
int opc = opCode(op);
return VectorSupport.unaryOp(opc, ...);
}
At runtime, `unaryMathOp` is unconditionally invoked, but during compilation it's possible to end up with an intrinsification attempt of `VectorSupport.unaryOp()` before `opKind(op, VO_SPECIAL)` is inlined.
It can be reliably reproduced `-XX:+StressIncrementalInlining` flag.
The fix is to fail-fast intrinsification rather than crashing the VM.
Testing: tier1 - tier4
