Optimization-unstable code refers to code that is unexpectedly discarded
by compiler optimizations due to undefined behavior in the program.

We applied a static checker called STACK (prototype from SOSP'13 paper
[1]) to OpenJDK source code and found the following eight sites of
potential unstable code.

Removing undefined behaviors would make the code stable.

Note that we tested locally Jtreg tests ( tier1 and jdk::tier3) were passed on Linux x86/aarch64 machines after apply this patch.
